Random NBA Observations 2024 - 2025

[EarlyEarly]

Pelicans have to be the most snake bitten team in history. Everybody going to to big injuries aside from Ingram. It's only a matter of time.

The Cavs have withstood Bron coming and leaving 2x, with a greater fluctuation in resources than almost every team, and yet they've still managed to build a potential contender all before teams like Pistons, Hornets, Wizards, Pels etc have. They've even come out the other side better than the Heat have too, despite Miami been known for their system and development.

Pretty damn remarkable.

Salute to the Cavs for sure but as for the bolded the Heat have reached the Finals twice in the last 5 years, I'd hold off on that until the Cavs can make one Finals appearance.

I've never taken the Heat seriously as a contender over the aforementioned period, it's the reason why I'm not really taking into account their Finals' appearances.

This Cavs squad is definitively better than all those Heat teams, regardless of what happens this season. Both Finals' runs for Miami were more capitalizing on gifted opportunities than their actual ability and merit as a team, it's the reason why they've had just as many 1st round exits over that period when fortune didn't fall their way.

All in my opinion, of course.

I agree with you for the most part, I will say the Heat did the impossible beating Milwaukee (Giannis was hurt for a portion of that series), but also beating Boston that year when everybody expected them to lose that one. The Cavs are better but the Heat seemed to have some type of hold over that talented Boston team, who are much better now but you get my point.

There you go Quickley. Let’s get it

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

Let’s fukking go Immanuel 5 straight points

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

Damn Barrett was so close

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

Clippers just bombing these free throws

 

[In The Zone '98]

Made the right decision to go to the rim twice. And smoked both lay ups.

Raptors sick.

 

[Nokids]

Cleveland being 11-0 is like a shorty you meet that’s perfect as first then you find out she’s crazy word to fatal attraction and thin line between love and hate

Poeltl had a perfect missed free throw down two. Shame he didn’t make that put back. Looked like he was playing 21.
