2025-2026 NBA Season Thread: Wolves Died [Archived] • Page 288

hornets are good tbf

 

I mean we had them and then just disappeared in the 4th

 

ahh ok only saw the box score

 

Team needs Jaden back asap

 

Sixers/Raptors/Hornets/Magic are separated by only one game entering this last week.

 

That's a lot of mid-range jumpers.

 

Cooper Flagg is so good man

 

He’s gonna end up top 10 which is wild.

 

Would’ve thought Curry would be a little higher given all the threes

 

Cooper Flagg is clearly awesome, but letting this last week influence the ROY race is going to be so stupid. He’s putting up massive numbers in garbage games, congrats. We’re also seeing g leaguers have huge nights at this point of the season. It shouldn’t weigh into the award voting. But it will.

 

in the East, 5th seed now can still finish 10th and vice versa. And that is true for each team seeded 5th through 10th right now.

Kinda crazy.

 

My wife has never willingly watched a second of basketball, and actively hates it with a passion.

So obviously she won her company’s March madness bracket challenge

 

Hornets only a half game back of the 6 seed and not having to do the play-in. It’s going to be tough though. tbh, as long as we are 8th or better I think we’re ok. Just don’t wanna have to win twice to get in.

Last 3 games are : at Celtics, vs Pistons, at Knicks.

Tough stretch, but I have no clue if any of these teams will be trying on the nights we play them.

 

Orlando put themselves in a tough spot with that losing streak. They can win their last 4 but still not move up at all depending on the teams above them. They're very good at playing to their competition's level, so I'm not even sure they win out. As much as I want them to do well, I also believe they need changes and losing is the best way to facilitate that.

 

I could definitely see the Sixers falling to #8. They probably need a 3-1 final week to stay ahead of both Toronto and Charlotte.

 

Atlanta plays the Knicks and then the Cavs back to back. There’s definitely a scenario where they slip but they’ve been on fire

 

wow

 

That’s legitimately shocking. I really thought he’d wait around for the next NBA cycle of coaches being canned.

 

Belichick and Malone at UNC is hysterical

 

Apparently the Magic were going for Malone and not have to pivot

 

Maybe this Giannis guy ain't so bad after all

 

I get why this is being said, but they are very different situations haha

Belichick is no longer a serious person and wasn’t when he got that job. Which probably means this will go down in flames as well since it’s the same guys making the hire lol so maybe you’re right lol

 

Bulls have about $63 million in cap room this offseason. This is a good move to try to figure themselves out.

 

From a quick headline view, I would’ve liked this for Magic. Recent NBA Champion head coach feels like the “right move” for a younger team looking to show they are serious about growing and winning. Who knows how it would actually play out though.
