If he feels the need to retaliate, he needs to be a bit more subtle about that. He may as well have dropped the ball and nailed Reid with a right cross. IMO, he needs to sit a couple of games.

All of what you just typed is 100% between you and you.

No way the Cavs can win again tonight at home?
The Pistons do seem better for sure. Cade still doesn't seem to get enough hype for some reason.

I love the Spurs' Coach's father, but he has to two-step the San Antonio way like all before him, and it puts the same bad taste in my mouth that I always got from Popovich. Spurs players never foul and never get preferential treatment from the refs.

James Harden will go back to normal ****ty playoff Harden and the Pistons will shoot better.

Ainge has the ammo to trade up to #1. It’s time to start cycling assets anyway.

The Pacers are in win-now mode anyway, which is why they made the trade for Zubac. They were not going to land an immediate difference-making center in the top 4.
Yes, that trade COULD come back to haunt them, but the following must be considered:
- Mathurin is RFA, the Pacers couldn’t have kept him as well as pay a lottery pick.
- I. Jackson has been effectively replaced as a backup center with the floor- stretching Jay Huff.
So, basically, it’s two redundant players - one a RFA - a lottery pick and a 2nd round pick for a center that compliments the Haliburton core better than Myles Turner.

Re: NBA 25-26 - And so it begins..
How can Victor Wembanyama have played 3 full seasons in the NBA, and not know what a Flagrant 2 foul is? How is that possible?
Re: NBA 25-26 - And so it begins..
1. That Zubac trade is looking really bad today.
2. Trading into the top four isn’t happening, but I could see Giannis being involved in some sort of top-10 deal. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Utah trade up to get Dybantsa, but tbh Peterson is a better fit for them. Same goes for AJ to Wiz. The Boozer/Wilson debate will be more interesting.
3. Relative noobs criticizing SteelSD for his Sixers takes need to gtfo. As a Knicks fan, I can attest that SD is an extremely knowledgeable NBA guy who is passionate yet even-keeled about what is likely the most frustrating team of recent memory. And he’s been mellow in this thread. Don’t be dumb.
4. I’m a dummy for saying, about a year ago, that we needed to wait to christen the Thunder as a juggernaut. They may just trade J Dubs to move up, get cheaper and younger and probably better. Rinse, repeat for the next 8 years? Ugh.
5. Go Knicks.

At least I know that Betterread's posts are driven by fever dreams of Embiid and Co. repeatedly torturing the Timberwolves and abusing a player (Towns) who isn't still on his team. Heck, his PTSD goes all the way back to the days of Ben Simmons, so I cut him a little slack. You? You're just a weird kid who needs to calm down.
Good points on the Knicks high level of play, “heater” comment. I mean, when Hart goes 4-6 from 3 pt range, you know it’s not your day. AND brunson shared the ball!!! You know that’s a temporary deviation.
Also your point on my personal goals for KAT that never reached fruition are true. At an early part of KATs career I thought he would be better than Jokic or Embiid. That turned out to be exuberantly optimistic.
But I thought a healthy 2026 Sixers team had as much talent as any team in the east. In 2 games in the regular season the Twolves they played great. I really thought a NYC - Philly series would be a war. I was disappointed in the 4-0 sweep.

Cleveland has outscored Detroit in the third quarter 23-0 and counting.

3. I have read the site sense its inception. It is the same every year with the guy. He is a grown man, he can stick up for himself. Just because I don’t post thousands of times a day doesn’t mean I am a new poster. I am not going to ruin this thread, but you aren’t privy to our past or the foul things he says, so I suggest staying out of something that has nothing to do with you.
No one is beating Oklahoma City anyways.
