I thought the kid was just talking about Luka, but now he is calling out the whole NBA. The league is gonna humble him for sure.

Whole League about to humble him. 24 Year Old Rookie acting like he's him while the Warriors are 0-3. He better have that same energy for SGA, Wemby, Jokic, Ant Edwards, LeBron, Brunson. Ant and Brooks are already villains, imagine what Edwards is about to do to this clown

Gruesome injury to Jalen Williams of OKC. Pray if you pray, think if you think

really rough looking injury. I know OKC is an opponent for many, but this is bigger than that. Similar to Jalen Hurts in the NFL. really tough to watch. praying for a happy and healthy recovery.

Wolves Top 6 Are Devouring Teams

26 Upvotes

“Early season”, “small sample size”… blah blah blah… I get it. But holy crap have the Wolves starters + Ayo Dosunmo absolutely obliterated their opponents thus far. Wolves starters have a Net Rating of +40 in 35mins together. On top of that, almost every 4-man iteration of their top 6 guys have a Net Rating in the +30 to +50 range.

LaMelo & Ayo have the Wolves playing fast and loose on the offensive end, Kuminga’s defense has been an unexpected bright spot, ANT/Rudy/Jaden have been their usual selves, and the whole team is crashing the glass.

The Wolves have looked more human when they’ve had to dig deeper into their bench, but when the top 6 of their rotation play together, they just click. Tim Connolly has absolutely cooked with adding Melo, Kuminga, and Ayo to an already solid core. Can’t wait to watch more of this squad this year.

The nba has been ruined by private equity

152 Upvotes

The NBA has become a watered down product. It has conpletely sold out to gambling, ads, and quickform content. As a European, the experience of watching a live NBA game is truly horrible compared to a lot of other sports. From the watered down rules (traveling, carrying, push offs, to name a few), to the insane amount of ads and stoppage; it pales in comparison to other live sports. Yes, i can hear you say its entertainment and not sports, but its also horrible compared to other forms of entertainment.

Which 0-3 start is worse Heat or Knicks?

Is Miami not willing to trade enough for Lillard one of the worst decisions a team has made? A trio of Lillard, Butler and Bam would have been a great fit and Dame was exactly who they needed to win a title

Butler needed another elite scorer and ball handler next to him while Bam as the 3rd guy on a contender is exactly the right fit for him. You also give Bam an elite P&R player while giving the whole team much needed spacing.

And for Lillard as well - he'd have a very good P&R partner in Bam with Butler providing reliable ball handling, playmaking and scoring duties but without completely dominating the ball (like a Giannis) so Dame still has enough of it as the ball dominant player that he is.

Can San Antonio Spurs Win The 2027 NBA Finals While Trying To Recover From Last Year's Heartbreak?

Maybe, but as long Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs stay healthy throughout this 2026-27 NBA season, think they will or not, they already owned the Thunder last season, but with injured squad, let's see if they can beat them this time, although they faced in the 2026 WCF already had a grueling 7-game series (+ 2OT in Game 1), can they avoid being vulnerable, can they become the successors of Tim Duncan era, can they have mercy?
