2025-26 NBA Season Game Day Thread.

I think AD might be closed to finished, or at least headed in that direction.

Wembanyama is very talented but I still question if his health will hold up over the long term.

I'm with you on that, but San Antonio fans are going to have a great time over the next few years, that's for sure.

Two good games tonight on ESPN:

OKC at Indiana - 4:30 PM
Nuggets at Warriors - 7:00 PM

 

[Dback Jon]

OKC and Indiana in OT

 

[Dback Jon]

For the first time in NBA history team is going to double overtime their first two games

 

[Dback Jon]

Thunder win

 

[Russ Smith]

Aaron Gordon most improved 3 point shooter in the league last year, is SEVEN FOR SEVEN in the first half tonight against the Warriors! Several of them way too open they seem to think he can't keep making them, but he's not even touching the rim swish after swish.

hit his first 8 before finally missing

 

[Dback Jon]

Another great game

Great game

Curry is just so redonkulous.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Another OT game. I really need Joker to score 6 more points

 

[Russ Smith]

What an insane game. Curry hits a crazy three to tie it, then they screw up and Gordon drains his 10th three 45 points to go up 3. and then Steph hits like a 35 footer off the inbounds to tie it.

2 games but Kuminga is a MUCH better player this year, defense is better and he's a better and more willing passer. His help forced the last miss by Jokic and then he tipped the ball away.

OT.

Jimmy Freaking Butler with the dagger 3

 

[Phrazbit]

50 points on 21 shots, only 6 FTs. That might've been the most efficient shooting night in NBA history.

10-11 from 3 and I don't think he hit the rim on any of the makes. Mad respect for how hard he's worked in his career to get to that point. Azabuike on the Warriors telecast said at a certain point the Warriors gotta say he's not a fluke but they kept going under and he kept making it.

 

[Russ Smith]

two games in a row they've said it so must be true how are the Warriors the 2nd oldest team how can anybody be older than Horford, Steph, Draymond and Butler? If they somehow stay healthy it's a really good roster.

I absolutely love Will Richard, had one of the biggest plays of the game pushing the ball and hitting a 3 down 9, sort of got the momentum going again

He's one of my favorite non-Suns. We were rumored to be in the mix prior to him getting shipped out of Orlando and it kills me that we didn't outbid the paltry sum Denver gave up. He would have been a phenomenal fit with that group and probably one of the best options for guarding Giannis.

I should acknowledge that I was wrong on this one. I regarded Gordon as nothing special and not a true PF, so I didn't see him as making much sense for the Suns. But he would sure be an asset now.

I go way back with them as a UCLA fan who grew up a few miles from Mitty HS I knew all about his brother Drew in HS, saw him play. My friend was one of the soccer coaches at Mitty he kept telling me Drew is going to UCLA. I was so happy, then his UCLA career was a disaster, didn't want to play the 5, constant clashes with Howland, had other issues I won't go into but finally got kicked out of school and went to New Mexico and resurrected his career. During the recruitment of Aaron we all knew he wasn't going to UCLA because of Howland and I had seen enough of him to know he was way better than Drew, but the one achilles heel was shooting. So to see him knocking down 3's like this is pretty impressive. he won't go 10-11 regularly but that shot is pure now.

I wanted him on the Warriors for the same reason you wanted him on teh Suns, was a perfect fit for them. Denver suits him though playing with Jokic has opened so much for him
