Random NBA Observations 2025 - 2026

[Primetime]

i dunno why white folks on here so upset at Luka and Reaves sitting out games when Joshua Himothee Chalamet Giddey is their lord and savior

plays every game and has his team on pace to break the 72-10 Bulls record

On the West side...

Shai has scored 30 each of the last 4 games... and hasn't played a single minute of the 4th quarter in any of them

These blowouts are lowkey fukkin up/suppressing his stats

 

[RubioTheCruel]

Magic really fukked their team up. They tried to get better offensively - that’s happened but it’s only a marginal upgrade at the cost of their defense which is much worse

We already saw this with the warriors that shyt is irrelevant once you already won an MVP, getting back to back rings is more important than stat padding

 

[T-K-G]

Eyyo Bane really got traded for 5 firsts ?????


How do these GMS have jobs?

Bane was a certified bucket in Memphis he wasn't acting out like this



Orlando's coaching staff needs to be under fire, all the players over there are playing frustrated.

You need to have a team identity before you start making "win now" types of trades. Houston did it the proper way before they got KD and so did OKC before they got Hartenstein

Ironically he'll still end up being the front-runner and winning MVP again if the Thunder go on to another 60+ win season

I'd say he definitely cares about winning MVP again, but he's just very media-trained. Curry and the Warriors cared too, they won 67 in 2015 (Curry MVP) and 73 in 2016 (Curry MVP). The choke vs CLE was what fukked up the path Wardell was on.

Funny enough, Shai and Steph were the same age when they both won their first title and MVP.

I know Steph won 2 mvps what are you talking about im saying we already saw nikkas sitting out 3rd quarters for a whole season before, at that point neither you or your team are chasing an MVP, it's not in the gameplan.

You're conflating them being happy about winning the mvp as that being the plan the whole season, sitting out entire quarters says the opposite.

Just because you still won it that doesn't mean you were chasing it, Jokic been winning them shyts while not seriously caring about it.

nikkas will ask you about PG and VJ numbers..

Watch those last 5 fukking minutes. Nobody else touched the ball but the chucking bros

That's an unspoken weakness of this team that isn't discussed.

Maxey and Embiid tend to pay in tunnel vision when they are on the court together and freeze out the other players on the team. It's partly why PG struggled last year. PG had his best games with Joel out

Because I didn’t know what the hell you were talking about by saying that shyt is “irrelevant”

Any observation made 2-weeks into the season is irrelevant long term but it’s still dope that he putting up 30/6/5 in 3 quarters on an undefeated team

Generational gap...these kids don't know about Sanford & Son

Kinda sad they never watched the show wit their folks or grandparents like a lot of us older brehs did.

they did have an identity. They were on the doorstep of being an elite defensive team who had so much trouble shooting.

Like bro I get it they got PJ Tucker and Tobias ptsd but you have scoring talent around you. It’s okay to pass them the ball

 

[Doctor Doom]

Thats a month out. And the Achilles might just pop anyway

Hoops turned into football

Teams/the league need to start investigating heavy into the causes

Feels like I've never heard of as many calf strains than I have in the past three years

 

[OGBobbyJohnson]

We’re gonna have to have a convo soon if this OKC team can break the 73-9 record.

idk who gonna beat them in a 7 game series
