2024-2025 NBA thread: who wants to buy a Duck Boat?!?!

[BmillsSkier]

There’s more teams in the West that I’d rather not see than the East. Cavs-Lakers Finals with Cavs in 7.

[Danno]

Celtics-Thunder in the finals, Celtics in 7.

[TahoeJ]

…

[BmillsSkier]

Bold take there TJ.

[jackstraw]

Back to back. We're overdue. It's been too long. [emoji23]

[EWG]

East: Cavs over the Pacers, Celts over the Pistons
West: Nuggets over the Thunder, (homer but I can see it happening), Lakers over Rockets
Finals: Celts over Nuggets.
In reality the Thunder will likely take the place of the Nuggets. I'll sand by the rest of the picks if that happens. (Celts over Thunder)

I just dont' see the Cavs or the Thunder being ready to win a chip. Not quite yet.

LOL Rockets fans begging Ted Cruz to stay away

If this is my last chance, go Pistons!

[Danno]

Celtics look solid.

Was tgat a basketball game or a street fight?

[plugboots]

It’s like the old hockey joke. I went to a wrestling match and a basketball game broke out.

[riser4]

Whatever it was, it was gritty.

Love to hear TJ's take on the Butler play. At first glance I thought it was just an unfortunate result of physical play. But after watching it several times, although I don't know if I'd go as far saying Thomson intended to make Butler fell that hard, it was definitely intentional to power through his legs and make him go down.

[TahoeJ]

It wasn’t dirty but I do think it was maybe a little reckless the way he launched himself low. The whole Draymond pushed him thing is complete nonsense when you watch the replay.

OKC playing with their food

[BmillsSkier]

Congrats to the Cavs' Evan Mobley for winning the DPOY. Well earned.

[EWG]

Certainly looks like the Nuggets year has run its course. Clips look quite strong with KW at full strength.

Clips are the sleeper this year.&nbsp; They are kind of dismissed (they are the Clippers after all), but they are sneaky good.</p>

I agree he wasn’t pushed. It wasn’t necessarily dirty. He just came right into Jimmy’s legs. That said we’ve all seen big guys go crashing into people and notice they’re crashing into people and do everything in their power to try to help the guy not get hurt. Like “holy shit. I’m a huge guy. I could hurt this guy”, and kind of catch them.
I seem to think Amen saw where he was and thought it was cool going into Jimmy’s legs.

[plugboots]

I really did not think the W’s were gonna win last night. I even didn’t watch the beginning of the game. (I had other plans.) But I kinda didn’t care, and then noticed that it was a one point game in the third.
Kerr unleashed the GP2/Curry pick and roll!

[I Skied Bandini Mountain]

So, Warriors vs Twolves in the second round was a bit unexpected.

[TahoeJ]

Curry won’t be back until game [emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]] at the earliest. What a bummer - this was shaping up to be a great series.

[TahoeJ]

Also: between the Pacers and Knicks this is crazy!

[GiBo]

Something's wrong with Jimmy. That was a weird game.

[I Skied Bandini Mountain]

Ruptured Achilles for Jaysom Tatum. What a disaster.
