2025-26 NBA Season

[darthseinfeld]

I’ve been following Chet since high school. He has a great skill set. I don’t know what that was he just pulled. It was insane.

Two way players may over focus in D when they have a tough match up, but when you are effectively the #2 with Williams out you need to show up on O too. It was basically hero ball for Shai, and with the length SA has defending the 1, thats a hard way to win

 

[darthseinfeld]

I’m leaning towards that as well. He took 4 shots. Win or go home. I haven’t seen a star do that since Ben Simmons. And I think he even shot more than 4 times.

I think was against us and it was close to that. Simmons was known for that though

 

[darthseinfeld]

Id bet in on SA. I dont think NY has the interior D to match up well. But dont sleep on NY, they are very skilled and white hot

The thing about Knicks is we haven’t seen them play a team with defense this good. I feel we have seen Spurs play offenses this good.

 

[darthseinfeld]

I’d be calling to see what they want for Gianni’s because these deals I see for the Heat aren’t that enticing. Thunder can easily make a package surrounding Chet and Ajay.

Ive heard rumors Orlando is questioning Banchero as their franchise guy. If he is attainable, I think Chet and picks for Banchero is a great move for OKC. Banchero could really cook as Shia's #2

Yes. Cavs perimeter D is super weak. Good rim protection, but Brunson could do what he wanted against Harden and Mitchell. Kat is also known to disappear in big moments

So it begins

Yeah Spurs got some dawgs out on that perimeter..I’m interested in how Kat and Wemby matchup goes.

That’s a good deal as well. I haven’t heard that about Banchero but I always felt someone between Banchero or Wagner was gonna have to go.

 

[kskboys]

Not sure I follow?

I’m
Not saying they win last night if they were healthy. I’m saying it would’ve been more competitive if Chet showed up or if they had Dub or Ajay.

Sounded like excuses due to injuries!!!!

The beauty is that the Spurs have some possible high picks in upcoming drafts as well.

Not many. Traded a bunch for Fox.

Not many. Traded a bunch for Fox.

They have 4 picks in the 26 draft and they have Atlanta's 1st round pick in the 27 draft. It will be interesting to see what they do with the 4 picks this year. They don't need to draft 4 players.

They also have a deal in place with Boston in 28. The Spurs will have Boston's 1st round pick if it is better than the Spur's pick.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Wow!

 

[zrinkill]

Wemby has been doing ankle and leg exercises and running stairs almost every day since he was 12 years old ........ his parents built this monster.

Yeah, but two late 1st picks and two 2nds. 2nds are almost worthless in NBA draft.

 

[rambo2]

There is no way they draft 4 players in 26, so I would think they will make trades.

So much crying about this for fans that use rail to get to the AAC. I feel for them.

But, the trend now for teams owned by Billionaires, is to own the land and the buildings, and the parking, and the concessions.

I take back all the bad things I said about Vassell and his contract over the years. Dude was balling all series. No longer a role player. It wasn't Wemby, Vassell was on Holmgren a lot and shut him down. THAT is depth, not the OKC charade. Good to see that at least 2 of them (Vassell, KJ) on the first failed reboot managed to be contributors for the NBA Finals.
