2024-25 NBA Season

[CuseFaninVT]

What's crazy is, I was less physically sick snapping my humerus bone clear in half and driving myself to the ER than I was watching Sid Vicious breaks his leg off the top rope and that Louisville kid, after the Louisville guy I was done.

Cause you’re a beast

Cause you’re a beast

No, I thought I popped my elbow out of place and was going to get it popped back in. When they moved my arm for the xray my life flashed before my eyes haha. May have sounded like a beast and when I say may, I definitely did.

Anthony Edwards has 24 points in the first quarter against Dallas.

Anthony Edwards has 24 points in the first quarter against Dallas.

He's attempting 13+ threes per game. I don't care that he's hitting 41% of them; Turning a hyperathlete like him into a long-range bomber is bad for the NBA. The incentives are all messed up.

Not one draftee from the 2024 class has scored 15 points in a single game this entire season. Per this article, by this time of the year there are on average 9 such games already.

EDIT - The article was from this morning, Risacher finally cracked the barrier tonight putting up 17.

The NBA rookie class is off to the worst start in league history

If you thought this was the worst class in recent NBA history, there’s a group of experts who seem to agree with you: NBA coaches.

that is a brutal article. And our prospect still didn't get picked.

I know the season just started, but Joker is currently 1st in scoring, 5th in rebounding and 4th in assists, shooting 57% from the field and 55% from three. That is completely insane.

Edey putting up some decent per minute numbers though. He's just killing himself with fouling at 7.4 per 36 minutes. At least he looks the part.

Might be for nothing this year. They look terrible outside of him. I could see them in the play in games this year.

I hear you. I'm actually more shocked at how much the Bucks suck so far. Four straight double digit losses.

They’re in trouble too. Something’s not right. It didn’t even look like they were trying last night.

Doc Rivers just collecting paychecks.

He was 5th, 2nd, 3rd in the categories last year and shot 58%. It's Nikola putting up crazy numbers again, with better 3pt shooting so far.

Fouls though have been under control his last 2 games (only 3 total) yet he is only averaging 16 minutes per game in those last tw. I think his defensive mobility in the NBA might be causing some issues.

His per minute stats are fairly good (PER of 15.2) -- I thought they might be higher actually. But I always expected that -- He would produce in his minutes, its just whether his defence could support him getting + minutes.

After 3 years of coaching Joel Embiid, he has tuned out mentally from coaching.

As a card carrying Embiid hater... I get it.

He didn't have to take the Bucks job tho.

He played 24 minutes last night and 18 against the Nets the game before. He helped set the tone against Milwaukee by blocking Lillard early inside and had an early dunk as well. Jay Huff has been coming in for him(yes that Jay Huff) and has played really well as a small ball 5.

I looked at his game log from basketball reference when looking at his minutes … it wasn’t updated for last nights game so I missed the 24 minutes.

Wemby 5x5 last night in a game I watched. Amazing the things he is capable of doing at his size and age. I watch a lot of basketball, and to watch anyone impact a game on both ends of the court, like he does, is very impressive.

It's never Doc's fault. (Thats mostly him saying that and not you, to be fair)

Jazz seem fairly committed to playing Capture the Flagg to start the season.

Two thoughts on Joel Embiid going off yesterday.

#1. I can understand and defend his expressing anger at people saying he is faking stuff.

#2. The above being said, the comment he kept on repeating "After all I have done for the city" seems rich... Well, maybe he has done a lot for the community (not sure) because its not for raising the basketball team to any real heights.

Yeah, but he played hurt a few times, so he's a hero.

Edey starting to turn it on. Had 25, 12 and 4 blocks last night.
