2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
Sheppard's been playing great lately. Still wouldn't trade Castle for him in a million years.

ESPN and The Mouse vs. YouTube TV
Yeah, I get every other local channel on my antenna except KSAT. I canceled YT and went to Fubo. I don't have to pirate the spurs games anymore as a huge bonuse. I'm not switching back.

NBA 2025-2026 Season Thread
I’m not discounting them. I said they’ll probably win 70 games for god’s sake. I just want to see them play some better competition. Lakers without Lebron. GS sat Horford for the back to back. They statistically have had the weakest schedule in the league so far.

Also I’m not one to bitch about the refs but I gotta hand it to the Warriors for taking 57 fucking threes and still getting to the line 30 times compared to the spurs only getting 12 FTs. Like, how does that work?

Less about coaching and more about giving up 300 offensive rebounds. Bad loss. Let’s get em back on Friday in the cup game.

It’s been bad tonight for sure. Everybody loves this fast breaking fiesta color bullshit. All it does is give me ptsd from when Tim Hardaway, Chris Mullin and Mitch Richmond beat our ass in the playoffs. Mario Elie took a blowtorch to us that series.

Wemby sitting in the corner on offense like he’s Bruce fucking Bowen waiting for the ball to get swung to him isn’t really doing it for me. They don’t have anyone who could even pretend to check him in the paint. Get your 7’5” ass down by the basket. Jesus. This isn’t rocket surgery.

And? This just in: games get out of hand and teams mail it in at garbage time, especially older ones. They’ve still played the easiest schedule in the league so far.

They've also had a dogshit schedule. They're great, don't get me wrong, and will probably win 70 games this year. And they definitely have the best roster in the league. But they've only beat two teams who are above .500 so far - Houston in 2OT opening night and Atlanta. I'd like to see them challenged a little bit more than dysfunctional Memphis and Sacramento. They have the Lakers coming up for whatever that's worth and the Wolves towards the end of the month. But they don't face Denver until February.

I don't think it's time to hit the panic button just yet. They're .500 and Curry and Horford have missed games. They lost Looney who was pretty much their only big worth a shit last year and a tremendous glue guy. Quentin Post and Trayce Jackson Davis (who has also missed some games this year) aren't exactly putting any fear into anyone. The big question with them has always been health and size. They haven't had a ton of either this year. Even at full strength, they are one of the smallest teams in the league. That Hartenstein/Chet combo was always going to be a bad matchup for them and now they get French Vanilla tonight. All I know is that I wouldn't want to face a fully healthy Warriors team in a playoff series. There are a ton of dudes on that roster with lots of playoff skins on the wall. They are just going to have to figure out how to bubble gum and band aid themselves into the playoffs. Utah, Memphis, NOLA, Sacramento and Dallas look like they are destined for the bottom. I don't thinking making the play in in the west is going to be as daunting as it originally seemed. But it's still way early....

25-26 Dallas Mavericks Thread: The Season of Our Discontent
Uhhh... hate to tell you this, but Cuban absolutely tanked in that exact position so they wouldn't have to give up that pick to New York that turned into Lively. You don't think Cuban was on board for that? Even when the Mavs were at the end of the Dirk era before they got Luka, Cuban was quoted as saying that they were going to suck for a good while until they were able to find another star and build it back up. With regard to the path forward... I would not tear down to the studs. It doesn't make any sense to if you only control your own first round pick for next year. I have some news: this team is going to lose a shit load of games as long as Kyrie is out, just about no matter what else is done. It's a roster construction that was build around Luka, it makes no sense as is. So you can call it a tank, but it's really just a bad team in a tough conference. The Mavs are going to lose, and lose a lot. So, suck this year, hopefully get lucky again in the lottery, move some pieces around if you can get some value, then run it back next year with a healthy Kyrie, more experienced Flagg, maybe a healthy AD (lol), and some retooling around some of the role players. Depending on how Flagg develops, you can put together a pretty decent team going forward out of it. One more thing... I've been watching a few Mavs games (more than actual Mavs fans it seems) and it's annoying as fuck how your announcer constantly refers to Cooper Flagg as "Coop". Call him Cooper, fine. Call him Flagg, fine. But Coop sounds fucking stupid. Is your play by play guy an Aggie?

This has been one of the craziest nights I’ve ever seen in the nba.- San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
Wemby 6/9 from three. Rest of the team? 4/24. Woof. Can’t believe they stole this one.- San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken

Rough shooting night from Champagnie. He’s had wide ass open looks too all night.- San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
They need to play some defense this quarter. That was some weak shit in the third.- San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
Kornet back tonight. Almost back to full strength sans Harper. Giddey out. Hopefully they’ve alerted all the local middle schools.- 2025 Week 12: Texas @ Georgia
The maddening thing about Georgia is that no matter how ugly the game is or how poorly they play, they damn near always seem to find a way to pull out a win (except against Bama for whatever reason). I don't like those assholes and I fucking hate Kirby, but credit where credit is due. Winners win. And let's give a little credit to this Longhorn team as well. It's looked really, really bad at times against Kentucky and Mississippi State and whatever ref fuckery that happened in the fourth quarter against Vanderbilt, but this team has found a way to grind it out, outlast their opponent, and make enough plays to win. So fuck whatever schemes or matchups you want to talk about, this game is about outfighting and being tougher than these fucksticks for 4 quarters and however many overtimes it takes. That's the game to me.- NBA 2025-2026 Season Thread
Yeah he was hurt his first couple of years. If Detroit had better lottery luck they would be on the verge of a dynasty. And gimme Cade ten times out of ten over Sengun.- NBA 2025-2026 Season Thread
Cade Cunningham is a beast. I’m not going to do a top 10 players in the league right now list but if I was I would be hard pressed to not have him on it.- San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
The schedule has been mostly ass, but 7-2 is 7-2 and good enough for the second best record in the league. And they’ve been beat up too. They’re really going to be fun to watch at full strength. GSG- San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
Fox… it’s been awhile. Oh I remember why the spurs traded for you now.- San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
Love the physicality tonight. They are taking it to Houston. There would have been 500 fouls if they officiated this game like the Lakers game the other night.- NBA 2025-2026 Season Thread
