Random NBA Observations 2025 - 2026

[SchoolboyC]

Portland just beat them on Friday

I know, they’re the favorites and should be

But will you be truly surprised if Kawhi is by far the best player on the floor should they play?

Orlando feels like a team ready to quit so even without Embiid I think Philly still gets them and then Charlotte sends them to Cancun

Out West I think the Clippers jump Portland, Kawhi ends up taking over

Pistons over Hornets in 6
Celtics over 76ers in 4
Knicks over Hawks in 5
Cavs over Raptors in 6

Thunder over Clippers in 5
Spurs over Suns in 5
Nuggets over Wolves in 7
Lakers over Rockets in 6

Lakers not beating the Rockets even as dysfunctional Houston may be. Luka or Reaves is not saving them and Luka isn’t returning until game 4 the earliest.

 

[SchoolboyC]

Both those Florida teams are so meh and don’t need any success that would make them even think of running it back as is next year.

I honestly feel the same way about Philly (Embiid/PG) and Cleveland is one more fukk up away…

Whereas Atlanta and Charlotte feel like a breath of fresh air

Being meh aside I just feel like Charlotte has more to gain from being in the playoffs even if it’s a 1st round exit than the other two do

I don’t need a third straight year of the Heat tryharding their way out the play in just to get crushed by a top seed

Gonna be honest Im low on both teams, it’s just a competition to see who gets they shyt pushed in by OKC

Ya SA & OKC is about to pack everybody up. In the east it’s Celtics & Pistons or Knicks. Everybody else is just happy to be there tbh

Its too easy to sell negativity when it comes to the NBA



This shyt serves no purpose

Yall peep the nba playoff weekend schedule yet?

3 SATURDAY games are going to be on Prime which is fukking insane to me. I could understand Prime replacing nba tv on week days but i wasnt expecting this.

Saturday games should all be on ABC and Sunday slate should all be on NBC.

Let ESPN, Prime and NBC handle the week day games.

I am so glad to stream everything for free across all major sports


Couldn't imagine what yall been going through with 6 different networks for games

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I have zero desire to see the fukking Heat or Magic in a 7-game series

Please make quick work of them

Nobody gives a fukk what you want.

I’m so confused

When have teams who weren’t still playing for playoff seeding ever gone all out in the last game of the year?

Out of curiosity I went to the last game of the season 10 years ago, 2015-16

Cavs (1 seed in the East) - Sat entire starting 5
Raptors (2 seed) - Sat entire starting 5
3-6 seeds - All still playing for seeding
Pacers (7 seed) - Sat multiple starters including PG
Pistons (8 seed) - Sat entire starting 5

Warriors (1 seed) - Gunning for 73 wins
Spurs (2 seed) - Sat 4 of 5 starters
Thunder (3 seed) - Sat entire starting 5
Clippers (4 seed) - Sat entire starting 5
5-8 seeds - Still playing for seeding

And the crazy part is, the second a player gets hurt playing in a meaningless game, these same people will be saying “Why did they have them out there”

I'm shocked he playing at all? His knees had long exploded by this points most seasons.
