Stewart is def not a fake tough guy lol. He is literally suspended right now for coming off the bench to start throwing hands with Miles Bridges. He yanked Draymond with one arm and tried to kill Lebron.

they just ran into the softest part of their schedule and teams don't get up for no names. They should have had a massive winning streak if they were healthy during that time. Also Watson and pickett got hurt who were major drivers of that though pickett really cooled off before the injury

Their clutch time is fucked by Aaron Gordon being out and MPJ no longer on the team. AG in the dunker spot makes a big difference that no-one else on the bench can replicate and Mike hit daggers (sometimes)

I was unironically going to just quit football entirely if they memed the Chiefs to another fraudulent owl win, but the NFL read the room correctly and realized everyone hated the fucking chiefs and that they needed to let them die for the long term health of the league.
They're way better at that sort of shit than the NBA is. The NBA jut keeps doing what it's doing even when everyone hates it.

Nuggets should just play all of the best players for every non-Jokic minute. Having AG on the court with Jokic doesn't raise the ceiling enough to be worth it. Just let Jokic ride it out with the shitters for more minutes, and try to limit how badly you get beaten when he's off the court. That's my opinion.

On 1337 there are a few and far between amount of games. Just curious as i feel like most things these days can be found on the internet for free is there a private tracker or something for sports games? Also ive recorded a few games this year and wanna know if this is something poeople are even interested in seeing uploaded/collecting

Does anyone else think this situation is a good thing for the Bulls? Too long they've coasted on top 5 attendance and ratings from their fans because MUH JORDAN LEGACY.
Maybe now the empty seats for a change will finally force their hand.

Reduce the 65 game rule to 60. 65 is a lot for 2026. The idea of the rule is fine.
Wonder when they will finally decide to cut the 82 game season. I know money and stats but it’s too long. The season drag on too long, back to backs suck, and there are too many injuries. The league would be better with like 5-10 less games

When people criticize SGA for his style of play, I assume they don’t think Jordan is a top-5 player.
MJ was famous for his foul-drawing trickeration. Older heads were furious about it.
1980s NBA Nation used to be livid about Michael Jordan getting foul calls, which David Stern orchestrated to build the face of the league. Some games were ridiculous and sports talk radio was on fire

So I watched this video, and I found it convincing. But it doesnt make sense when you think about it. This video is essentially a proof of why Luka Donkirk is essentially the perfect offensive player. If that really is true (and it really is convincing) then something is wrong. No amount of garbage defense should be able to devalue a scorer this good. This is the conundrum with Luka. If he was just a scorer, you could simply appeal to the "doesn't make things easy enough for his teammates" but hes arguably the best passer in the league based on this video (which again, was very convincing) and if not the "best" than certainly the most versatile.
Luka SHOULD be the best player in the league based on this, it literally makes no sense how he ever loses. He can make every single pass in the book, hes unguardable, he draws fouls at a high rate, he can score outside, inside, inbetween. It literally doesnt make sense. His only flaw is being "unathletic" but even if we dont put him in Jordan and Lebron convos for that. He SHOULD be better than Jokic or Shai in theory, due to how "perfect" of an offensive player he is. Even if you want to give shai the edge. Jokics defense, even if better than Lukas, couldnt possibly be good enough to overcome the versatility of offensive play Luka offers.
>>
Luka Losing to Steph Curry in 2022, who just runs around screens and cant even make passes as perfect as Luka, makes no sense. I figure people will do the "Warriors were the better team" argument, even though the warriors ran it exactly back with the exact same core the next year minus Otto Porter Jr, who was a bench player, and went to game 7 with Sacramento, and got washed by the Lakers who just barely made the playoffs (desu, mid season changes made them way better).
So if you use the "better team" argument, youre either telling me that Otto Porter Jr is such a huge difference that it was too much for Luka to overcome. Or youre telling me, that the Luka led Mavs of 2022 that won 52 games (1 less than the warriors that season), were worse than the Fox led Kings of 23 that won 48 (desu that was the no 50 win team west at the time so its probably a better record than 48 reflects)

>no amount of garbage defense
The sad thing is during their Finals run in 2024 he was playing with consistent effort on defense and made some great defensive stops, while still being an elite offensive engine. It IS possible to do both, so that's what is most frustrating about him on that side of the ball.

The rockets are playing too well for a team that was supposed to collapse. KDF played 5D chess with these cats' mental. I kneel

The Warriors were looking quite exhausted at that point and klay fell off SO hard in that year

Almost every single high level playmaker has a bunch of turnovers because they make passes nobody else would be able to, which is why their passes are so high value. Because being able to create a pass out of nothing, is harder to defend, but also easier to mess up. Its the natural trade off. Wait till you learn how many turnovers Magic and Nash would commit
Your freethrow point may be valid, as Nash was one of the greatesy freethrow shooters ever, and Magic was an elite freethrow shooter later in his career, but the question then becomes. Is it more valuable to generate more freethrows or hit more of them? I think most would say the former.

>home and away vs teams outside your division
50 games of the usual regular season slop
>All Star Break
THEN
>3 game series baseball style against everyone in your division home and away
24 games
74 total. Last two months of the season will be like a preview of the playoffs with teams actually doing scouting reports and making adjustments since they play the same teams multiple times.

Well noticed

Stirtz is more of a creator
>>
>>153693306
What do you mean by creator? Like a PG? if so idk about that he's high volume 3 attempts and %, 20ppg. By next Kon I mean 'next rookie who will push for the rookie 3p record'. That said their games are very similar, Kon is bigger but very similar shot diet. If Stirtz is on the right team next year that let him play he will come close to the rookie 3p record.

Yeah he's a pg, his most distinguishing trait is how unassisted he is. Iowa have a mid major standard roster besides him, so they rely on him totally for creation. I doubt he'll challenge Kon's record, but he probably is the best shooter in this draft so it's possible if he gets put into the right situation like you said

Series kinda suck. But, yeah, that’s the simplest proposal for cutting games.
Everyone is terrified of making less money but it would solve so many problems. You could eliminate back to backs, you get rid of the lulls about 20 games into the season (which the cup helped) and after about 70. You both reduce injuries and the impact of injuries (as you miss fewer games). They could even get tougher on teams about resting stars.
Wonder if they’ll do it at the same time as expansion? Lots of options - 31 games home and away then 5 games home and away on 6 team divisions for 72. 31 games home and away then 3x2 games home and away games in 4 team divisions for 74. I know it’s long been rumoured a cut in games is built into the NBA broadcast contracts.
