NBA: *** 2025-26 NBA Thread ***

Spurs are just way too young right now and don’t have much besides Wemby honestly. Knicks have way more overall talent.

They seem to lack a primary ball-handler. They also need a scoring threat in the post when Wemby is on the perimeter, which is often.

Well…. I know that I’ll sleep a lot better tonight knowing that Taylor Swift is happy. .

Still can't believe Fox did that

 

[GoHawks]

I said it earlier and I still think if I'm spurs in the offseason I'm trying to trade fox and then make LeBron a rich 1 year offer. They desperately needed someone with his composure, passing, and body when Knicks made their run

Was it OG that contested that Fox layup? Fox went for it because he thought he had a free 2 points and whoever it was ran him down and did a great job contesting it to the limit without fouling.

IMO you take the 2 points if it’s guaranteed. Worst case is a tie if they hit a 3. Making 2 ft’s in that situation is optimistic.

Thank god Tyrese is back next season and I can live and die on that instead of hate watching the spurs opponents.

This is what I was thinking. I didn't think what Fox did was that egregious if he felt he had an easy 2. Obviously it didn't work out but I don't think the mindset was as bad as everyone is saying.

Disagree but I see the point. Fox is a 76% FT shooter so it’s not guaranteed but a contested layup there was far more risky than burning some time and forcing New York to still hit a big shot. Then again, the way they were struggling, he might’ve just missed both too.

Yeah it was. OG is a freak athlete at 6'7" 240 that made a hell of play, I'm not sure what else Fox could have done. It's not like he could hear him coming.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

That was a very Cyclone-type loss.

As a fan I would never recover from a loss like that, permanent damage.

Saving grace it wasn't my team it happened to.

OG has been FMVP

Bad enough to see her on nfl broadcasts.

So seeing someone with a large influence who appears to enjoy the same entertainment you do is a bad thing?

I'll never understand the Taylor Swift complaints. Yeah, she's on camera a handful of times, who gives a ****.

Rather look at her than the usual crew of Spike Lee, Ben Stiller etc...

You don’t like John MacEnroe?? You CANNOT BE SERIOUS

 

[SolterraCyclone]

Not sure they change anything for Game 2. However, another lever to pull is start Harper and have Fox come off the bench. Harper was their best player last night.

I’ve said before, and hot take here, the Spurs are better without Fox. Or, at the very least, just as good. He’s injured, he’s streaky, he disappears in big moments, he’s not great defensively. I’d probably try to trade him this offseason if I’m the Spurs.

Just going to leave this here after one of the worst individual performances in the 4th quarter last night I’ve ever seen. Holy ****.
