Yeah might be better to have a weekly post for game threads if we are going to keep them.
I’ll reach out and see what the situation is and make a post once I know more so we can see what we want to do for the season.

Yeah last year Gordon moved into a place with a literal basketball court in it in downtown Denver and just practices all the time apparently.

Damn that’s huge if the charges are true.
- Comment on Durant, Rockets agree to 2-year, $90M extension 1 week ago:
I’m not really sure what their plan is because a true rebuild isnt possible since they gave out so many picks and pick swaps losing doesn’t get them a better draft pick.
Believe they’re 7 years out from having control of their picks again so that’s a long time to be stuck in this position.
- Comment on Season Opener Discussion Thread (HOU vs OKC, GSW vs LAL) 1 week ago:
Yeah it’s going to rough come playoffs if they can’t figure out a solution during the season
- Comment on Nuggets' Braun reaches 5-year, $125M extension 1 week ago:
Yeah that’s about what he was expected to get.
He replaced KCP in the starting lineup really well defensively. Offensively he’s wasn’t as good of a shooter but was an amazing cutter off Jokic and I think he led the league in fast break point last season.

They’ve don’t really have the draft picks for it to be a rebuild. It’s more of a last gasp at a remote chance at a title with Giannis, especially after the stretch and waive.
- Comment on 2026 NBA Season Predictions! 2 weeks ago:
Mine from last year were:
Ben Simmons has a pretty good season and plays at least 60 games. Not a big fan of his but it’s a contract year lol if it’s going to happen it’s gonna be this year.
He played 51 games and started a chunk so I was close!
Celtics don’t make it past the conference finals. This one is hot especially after the opening night game but think their front court is weak and they got a bit lucky last year with the injuries in the East. Probably the one I’m at most risk of looking stupid on though.
Was correct on this one although the Achilles tear was the driving factor.
OKC doesn’t make it to the conference finals. I’ve seen some taking them to win the west or at least get there but I think they still have some growing pains in the playoffs this year and go out in the 2nd round. The future is incredibly bright for them though, think they are perennial contenders in the west after this year.
Definitely wrong lol
This year I’ll go:
- Jokić MVP
- OKC/DEN west conference finals
- Knicks/Bucks Eastern Conference finals
- Flagg ROY
Hot Takes:
- Spurs make it to the 2nd round
- Lakers out in 1st round
- Zion plays 50-60 games
- A star is traded before the deadline (might not be hot)

- Comment on Are you watching preseason games? 2 weeks ago:
Only time I really watch pre-season is if my teams rebuilding and I want to see the young players tested out. So with the Nuggets and Bucks I haven’t bothered.
Probably would be smart for fantasy but I stay away from rookies usually anyway.
- Comment on Bucks unite Antetokounmpos, sign younger bro 2 weeks ago:
Can’t really be cap circumvention since the salary hits the cap.
They‘re just giving end of bench spots to his brothers to make him happy. Maybe a bit of nepotism but like the 15th roster guy isn’t getting playing time either way so if having his brothers there helps him in any way (performance wise or staying in MKE) it’s a win.

- Comment on VanVleet has torn ACL, may miss season 5 weeks ago:
I don’t watch the Rockets much but I had him in fantasy and he fell off a bit last year but was still used a decent amount.
He just signed a 2 year $50M extension which has a player option for 26-27 so that does hurt to have effectively dead cap space this year.

- Comment on Buzzer-heave misses won't affect NBA player stats 1 month ago:
It is amusing they care so much but when you have star players like KD not taking these shots because of their stats I can see the league caring enough to change it.
There’s probably others that don’t care but the only one I can think of I see consistently taking them is Jokic and he kinda killed his 3% a bit. Although he did hit 1 or 2 insane ones last season.
