2025-'26 NBA Season

Reed Sheppard looked dynamic tonight. Year 2 should be a big one for this uber athletic high flying guard!

Thank you for the update. Meant to post on the 2 games last night earlier today but got sidetracked.

Other than Luka, the Lakers have the excellent Austin Reaves. 26 points, 5 boards and 9 assists. The clear #2 option with Lebrown out injured. Jake LaRavia is a key bench player. Dalton Knecht logged a DNP, which is a horrible sign, especially without James. The opponent, GS Warriors, are not great to watch but at least they start Brandin Podziemski and utilize Quinten Post as the backup big man.

In the other game, the Rockets and Thunder were both palatable to watch. European looking Turk, Alperen Sengun, went off for 39 points with 11 rebounds and 7 assists. The Houston offense operates through him. White Maorian Steven Adams starts and Reed Shepard was the top guy off the bench and the only true PG in the 9 man rotation. For the Thunder, number 2 option Chet Holmgren went for 28 points and 7 boards. Hartenstein also starts and do-everything Alex Caruso is the 6th man. So these two teams are similar demographically.

In my opinion Austin Reaves could score 25 to 30 points every night with ease if he was ever allowed to be the number 1 go to guy
on the team. Not gonna happen but he is so much better than most fans think he is! A true ankle breaker that can shoot the lights
out as well.

I'm excited to watch the Chicago Bulls tonight. They will be a team to root for. Zach Collins is out with an injury but everyone else is
available and read to go. I predict they make the playoffs this year!
 
Jazz start 4/5 white men. When was the last time we have seen this?

Plus a couple more white players in the rotation if I am not mistaken.
 
Nice win by Utah!

Cooper Flagg had 10 points and 10 rebounds on 4 of 13 shooting. Also had a steal and 3TOs.

Kon Knueppel got the start for Charlotte. 11 points and 5 rebounds on 4 of 6 shooting.

Ryan Kalkbrenner also started. 10 points and 11 rebounds in 5 of 6 shooting! Also recorded 2 blocks and should have gotten credit for a 3rd. They called it a foul instead of a clean block!

Rozier is in the last year of a $96 million dollar contract. The guy set up for life, but still gets involved in an illegal gambling ring. Doesn’t get much stupider than this.

Both Cooper Flagg and Kon Knueppel need to take alot more shots. Like so many white athletes they put the team first. This league has
transitioned into a superstar ball hog league. Shoot first and foremost. If you want to be a star you cannot be shy and always thinking
team first even though I was raised and taught the same things. Yes help the team but promote yourself first by scoring more. Especailly
with someone like Flagg who is surrounded by non New Hampshire guys.

I'm a little sad to see Reed Sheppard coming off the bench as he deserves to be in the starting 5. He will put up good numbers but he could put up great numbers with more minutes. He reminds me of a Rex Chapman but with a higher upside!

I can put the “gambling scandal” to bed in one post. Private businesses produce a sports league; private businesses offer gambling odds for that league’s events; private citizens bet on those events. Government keep the eff out of it. Every gambler assumes the risk that the event might be rigged. It’s all voluntary.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was living close to pay stub to pay stub. You have to think he has lost multiple millions gambling and might have half a dozen bimbo's that he supports and leeching family members, etc, etc....
