2025 NBA Playoffs

[White Lightning]

One series I'm looking forward to starts on Wednesday. The Miami Heat vs the Chicago Bulls. This will by far be the most white starters you will see
between both teams in my opinion. The Bulls have been starting either 3 or 4 white guys on a nightly basis. The Heat have always been white friendly and what they lack sometimes in starters is made up with bench players. So a very friendly white matchup between both teams.

I'm rooting for the Bulls as the Heat have had alot of success over the last 5 years. Time to see some new guys advance in the playoffs.


The Lakers will be fun to root for. Chime in guys on what teams you are rooting for?

Unfortunately the Bulls vs Heat is the 9/10 play-in game. Winner of the single game faces the loser of the 7/8 matchup. So I’m hoping that the Magic beat the Hawks for 7. Then the Bulls beat the Heat and then the Hawks for the 8.

Out West, I want the Grizzlies to beat the Warriors to secure the 7 seed. I want Sacramento to knock out Dallas and then beat GS for the 8. However if GS gets in somewhere, they are not as awful as years past. They start Podziemski and play Post in the rotation.

As usual the records in the West are far better than the East.

 

[Freethinker]

Magic blow out the Hawks to secure the 7 seed. Atlanta should be very vulnerable to either the Bulls or Heat.

Regarding Orlando, they are carried by their forwards Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero. Their guards are some of the most mediocre to terrible in the league. Now that Suggs is out for the year, not a single one of their guards average even 10 ppg. Not Cole Anthony, Anthony Black, Gary Harris, Caldwell-Pope or Cory Joseph. Now to be fair, Anthony and Black played well tonight but I’d like to single out Joseph and Harris. Joseph is a 6’-2” 33 year old, who’s a journeyman at this point. He started tonight yet averages 3.5 ppg, 1.5 rpg and 1.4 apg. Harris (6’-4”), a rotational regular, averages 3.0 ppg, 1.3 rpg and 0.3 apg. How can the similar sized, yet exponentially more athletic, Mac McClung compete with these all world talents? The Magic GM / coaching “brain trust” are lobotomized fools who clearly have an anti-White bias that they hold against Mac. Mac needs to escape Orlando at all costs, and likely the NBA too as no franchise will give him a shot which is looking more absurd by the day.

FREE MAC MCCLUNG! I agree with everything you said. Great breakdown.

Free Mac!

@Freethinker it makes zero sense, besides Anti White hatred.

What a complete joke. So stupid for the Orlando franchise, and on so many other levels.

Big time rooting for the White Bulls in this one. Let's Go Chicago!!!

Yes sir. They had 4 of the the 5 starters were white guys with a key reserve coming off the bench. That is 5 of 8 players being white men.
Can you imagine a majority white nfl team? Not for many years now. Who would think we would see it in the nba & especially in Chicago.

 

[Freethinker]

Sadly the Bulls lost but it was mostly due to Tyler Herro being unstoppable. 38 points on efficient shooting.

I’m hoping the Bulls run it back next year with this White core. I’m sure Giddy (22) and Buzelis (20) will be back. Vucevic, Huerter and Collins all under contract for next year but we’ll have to see if any off-season trades happen.

Even though they lost, the Bulls are a very promising team for us. So looking forward to this team next year. I can't help but be pessimistic that management will not keep this core of white talent intact. But that hasn't happened yet, so maybe they will actually do the smart thing and keep all five of these guys on the roster.

 

[Riggins44]

I am really rooting for Jokic and Denver to win the whole thing. Even though they're the 4 seed in the West, Jokic is such a unique talent that they could do it. He could be like LeBron the year Cleveland won it, and just carry a team with mediocre talent all the way. Other than Joker, the thing this group has going for them is they've won this thing before, so they know they're capable of it. That's a huge psychological advantage. A second title would elevate Jokic higher in the hierarchy of all time greats.

 

[Carolina Speed]

Doncic 16 first quarter points for the Lakers. Also 3 rebounds and 1 steal. Lakers 28 T-Wolves 21. Great to see Luka controlling the game.

 

[Freethinker]

I'm a few days late but I figured I give a brief playoff preview for the casual observer who wants some White athletes to root for.

Eastern Conference

#1 Cleveland Cavaliers vs #8 Miami Heat. Not a terrible matchup to watch a game from. The Cavs start G/F Max Strus. PF Dean Wade has started a good amount of games as well but usually with Strus coming off the bench. So they are a solid 1 starter team. Off the bench comes PG/SG Ty Jerome who was nominated for 6th Man of the Year. Sharpshooter Sam Merrill is also a key reserve every game. For the Heat, its unfortunately become star player Tyler Herro and little else. Duncan Robinson is in the rotation but not getting heavy usage. Jamie Jacquez, Nikola Jovic and Pelle Larsson have all started games and been key pieces all year but whether due to injury or other reasons, all are healthy yet outside of the rotation at the moment.

#2 Boston Celtics vs #7 Orlando Magic. Also, not terrible to watch. Boston is the heavy favorite and play more Whites. They start the talented Latvian Kristaps Porzingis, now in his 9th season and the 3rd leading scorer for Boston. The next key piece is 6th Man of the Year nominee Payton Pritchard. The backup PG is a scoring dynamo who's capable of huge nights when he gets hot. Sam Hauser is the backup SF and another good player. Luke Kornet backs up the center position. Rookie Baylor Scheierman got more minutes as the season progressed but is likely outside the rotation unless an injury occurs. For the Magic, Franz Wagner is one of the dual-stars of the team. Georgian Goga Bitadze is a reserve center.

#3 New York Knicks vs #6 Detroit Pistons. Skip this one. The Knicks only have PG Tyler Kolek and the Pistons Italian Simone Fontecchio, but neither will play unless something unlikely happens.

#4 Indianapolis Pacers vs #5 Milwaukee Bucks. Another matchup with little to get excited over. Pacers have backup TJ McConnell, who's great but has always been underutilized IMO. Rookie Johnny Furphy has mega potential but is unlikely to play unless its a blowout or someone gets injured ahead of him. The Bucks still have the marginally White Brook Lopez at center, but at the age of 37, he's less involved. Guard AJ Green is a key rotation piece and a nice story as an UDFA out of Northern Iowa. CF favorite Pat Connaughton is no longer used.

Western Conference

#1 Oklahoma City Thunder vs #8 Memphis Grizzlies. A good matchup of White talents. The Thunder start the extremely talented Chet Holmgren. Isaiah Hartenstein (the 'black German' who looks entirely White) starts at center and brings a ton of energy and heart. Off the bench comes the defensive whiz and athletic Alex Caruso. Sadly, rookie 7 footer Branden Carlson is outside of the rotation. For the Grizzlies, they start rookie Zach Edy (half Chinese) at center. Off of the bench, they use Spaniard Santi Aldama as a key forward reserve. Then either (or sometimes both) Luke Kennard or Jon Konchar get the SG reserve roll. Depending on the game, much improved big man Jay Huff plays. The Thunder won game 1 by 51 points so this series could be short.

#2 Houston Rockets vs #7 Golden State Warriors. Houston was a big surprise this year, going from outside of the playoffs all the way to #2 in just one season. The Rockets start talented youngster Alperen Şengün at center. I don't consider most Turks European but he passes my "eye test" so root for him at your discretion. Kiwi Steven Adams is the reserve center. He's half Tongan and half English, so another root for him if you like type. Houston stubbornly only goes 8 deep, so talented guard and #3 overall pick Reed Sheppard sits on the outside looking in. Aussie Jock Landale is another talented guy waiting for PT. Who knows what will happen but maybe one or either will be thrust into action. The Warriors are a bit improved from our perspective starting 2nd year guard Brandin Podziemski. Rookie Quinten Post has established himself as the backup center and is an outside shooting threat. Gui Santos, who I was unaware of until today, is a questionably White reserve forward from Brazil who played in game 1. I'd actually root for GS but they still have that loathsome thug Draymond Green assaulting (mostly White) opponents and uber-lib cuck Steve Kerr coaching.

#3 Los Angeles Lakers vs #6 Minnesota Timberwolves. A good matchup to watch and could go 7 games as both teams are good. The Lakers are the CF rooting favorite with superstar Luka Doncic joining the squad via a shocking mid-season trade. He's the main scorer. The 3rd wheel is Austin Reaves, who's gotten better each of his 3 seasons. The former UDFA averaged over 20 ppg this year and could be the key player if the Lakers are going to go on a deep run. Off the bench in the deep rotation, are center Alex Len and SG/SF Dalton Knecht. We all know that the team is better when the explosive scoring Knecht is involved, but the rookie seems to lack a key roll post mid season trade. We'll have to see where he fits next year or if he'll ultimately get traded to a team with a better fit. The Wolves only have key reserve Donte DiVincenzo getting major mins. If they need to go deep, criminally under utilized former college star Luka Garza gets a call.

#4 Denver Nuggets vs #5 Los Angeles Clippers. Another must watch matchup due to Denver but the Clippers aren't total trash. The Nuggets have Nikola Jokic, who we all know and talk about constantly. Starting SG and athletic freak Christian Braun has really blossomed in year 3. He's as good a candidate as anyone for a highlight reel monster dunk any given game. With the roster tightening up in the playoffs, we are unlikely to see Dario Saric (Croatia), Hunter Tyson or Vlatko Cancar (Slovenia) but they all lurk if needed. The other Los Angeles team feature starting center Ivica Zubac who was just nominated for Most Improved Player of the Year. The 8th year Bosnian has set careers highs in every category. Serbian Bogdan Bogdanovic is the reserve SG. Big man Drew Eubanks hasn't got much PT since coming over mid-season from the Jazz but is at the end of the bench if needed.

So in the East, my rooting favorites are Boston or Cleveland. Heavy underdogs Orlando and Miami are palatable due to their star players. Out West, there are many more options. The Nuggets, Lakers and Thunder would be the best teams to watch. The Clippers, Warriors and Grizzlies have some interesting pieces too that wouldn't make them terrible options to advance.

 

[Warhawk_46]

That fool Nico Harrison of Dallas (GM) states he didn’t know how much Dallas fans loved Luka… and that he believes Dallas will still be able to contend for a championship.

Moron, Dallas went to the Finals LAST YEAR on the strength of Luka!!! You already had a championship-caliber team. Just needed to tweak a few roles players.

Now Dallas is in a multiple-year rebuild and Harrison should be fired for sheer incompetency.

 

[White Lightning]

Denver lost in a game they should have won tonight. The series with the Clippers is tied at 1-1. I have a bad feeling about this series
as the Clippers are a very talented team. Zubac is amazing and they have alot of high caliber players.

Yes, if he’s being genuine then he’s the biggest fool on the planet and should be shown the door immediately.

However there is another theory out there in which Nico is playing his role perfectly. Since December of 2023, the Mavericks have been owned by mega-Zionist and casino crook Miriam Adelson. The jewess is doing a major lobbying (bribing) campaign to legalize gambling in Texas so she can build a casino resort in Dallas. The theory goes that ownership is purposely tanking the team to then threaten a move to Las Vegas when the fan support turns. Basically a blackmail to approve gambling or else. In this plausible scenario, Nico the shabbos goy, would be getting a nice fat bonus this year for his job well done.

Informative and the journalist Whitlock interviewed has a logical hypothesis. It goes without saying but I will say it anyways - every single time.

 

[Bucky]

Nico is as DEI as it gets. When he worked for Nike, he botched their pitch to sign Steph Curry. In his recruitment video called him Seth. So naturally he rose through the ranks of Anti White America. LOL.

As far as Adelson. To be expected.

Payton Pritchard, who went from the fringes of the Boston rotation to a constant source of energy and production off the bench, was named the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year.

Last night the Warriors gave Pat Spencer a meaningful 12 minutes in which he posted 11 points. This is a guy many people have never heard of, but is one of the most interesting career arcs in the NBA. He is considered one of the greatest college Lacrosse players of all time, going first overall in the PLL draft (which is apparently a real thing). Despite only playing 1 year of basketball at Northwestern, he committed himself to playing basketball professionally. As a 6'3" white Lacrosse player with 1 year of college experience, this probably seemed like a pipe dream, but he pulled it off.

This story is a great example of how Lacrosse, hockey, and college baseball have become safe havens for white athletes and thereby driven the demographic shifts we've seen in other sports. This is merely the pragmatic response of white athletes to the Caste system - get a D1 scholarship, finish school, and enter a regular job rather than pursue a long shot career in a league that views you as an outlier at best. Guys like Spencer and Chris Hogan were able to pivot to "real" sports because they are literally some of the best lacrosse athletes of all time, but most guys, even if they have the natural talent to do so, will not make the transition.

Many top college lacrosse players are tremendous duel sport athletes yet those D1 football scouts seem to pass on them for some reason. And I think another factor for lacrosse players is many of the top programs are very good schools ( from an academic reputation standpoint as all western institutions are trash now) but guys playing at penn, princeton, john’s hopkins, virginia, duke can get a good job out of college and earn great money.

As much as I'd like to see Jokic get another ring, the Nuggets are done as far as I'm concerned. This is a team with literally no bench players, other than an occasional burst from Westbrook who is equally likely to turn the ball over 10 times. They've been in playoff mode for seemingly a month now, with Jokic, Braun, and the other 2-3 real NBA players on this team seemingly playing 38+ minutes on a nightly basis.

There’s no way the nuggets can win it all this year so I’d rather see them lose in the first round to really put pressure on the organization to either bring Jokic some help or trade him.
