Thunder own their first round pick unprotected.

New avator: check Thunder get run by Spurs: check Nuggets lose: check Rockets lose: check Lakers lose: check Hawks lose: check Clippers win: check Pretty perfect night in the NBA. Also, Atlanta is circling the drain losing two in a row against Chicago and their upcoming schedule looks pretty brutal: Miami, NYK, at OKC, Min, at NYC, at Tor 2x, at Den, at GSW, at Lakers, at Portland, and then Boston. I don't know that they will be favored in any of those games.

Not playing great but pretty much even with OKC at half. Need to knock down the open threes because they’ve been there, play better transition defense and for gods sake make your fucking free throws.- NBA 2025-2026 Season Thread
Brown is living up to his contract, which is something I never thought I'd type. Everybody's stats are inflated in this era and normally I would discount what he's done because of how bad the East is, but he's putting up those numbers against mostly pretty decent competition.- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
I'm still floored that they replaced Klein with Wiggins. That's like the time they gave Mackovick a blank check to hire the best DC in the country and he promoted Bobby Jack Wright.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
I know he's made a huge leap this year and he's filling up the box score on a nightly basis, but you still can't play Reed Sheppard on defense at crunch time. He's going to get targeted every time down the floor. Dennis Shroeder is 1000 years old, has never been known for being much of a threat off the bounce, and he was blowing right by him in overtime. They didn't even bother burying him with a screen. They just iso'd Reed in the corner and there's no rim protection behind him. It's going to be 100 times worse in the playoffs when teams can really gameplan to go after him and the physicality gets amped up. Also, I don't care if it's overtime or not, KD has zero business playing 48 minutes in a NBA game at 37 years of age, much less in a back to back where he played 40 the night before and it's the 3rd game in 4 nights. His last 4 games: 44, 43, 40, and 48 minutes. That's just playing with fire at this point in his career. The regular season is a marathon, not a sprint. Ime is a great coach, but that's malpractice.- San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
Ugly win tonight but I’ll take it. I can’t believe the spurs have the third best record in the league after 28 games especially with wemby missing as many games as he has and coming back on a minutes restriction. Not to mention Castle, Fox and Harper injuries. OKC on rest disadvantage at home Tuesday and then in OKC on Christmas Day. Big time measuring stick games.- San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
The wiz are one of the worst 5-6 teams in the league to begin with. They have little chance against the spurs at full strength. They got no chance with this mash unit they’re putting out there tonight.- 2025 CFP First Round - The "U" @ aggy

This team might be halfway decent.- San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
Dear God this is a blood letting.- San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
Well... I did say almost. I don't want to get too into the weeds on this especially with how great that 2013 team was around Parker and the limited sample size we have on Harper. But look at this per 36 min comparison and per 100 possession comparison. That we're even having the conversation 16 games into this dude's career is insane. Again, this is the worst version of this cat that we're ever going to see unless he gets hurt or plays until he's 40 vs peak Parker with 10+ years under his belt.- San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
For the time being, I think he should come off the bench and run the second unit like they used to do with Manu, Take Vic and Fox out, let him run pick and roll with Kornet against the other teams backups. There's plenty of minutes to go around and it's a long ass season. You saw them try to close out the Knicks game with Fox, Harper, Castle, Vassell and Wemby. I think that's where they would ultimately like to go depending on matchups. Every one of those guys (with Vassell being the obvious weakest link) can hunt the poorest defender and get a shot off / get to the rim / get fouled at really high rate. Harper is virtually unguardable after 16 NBA games. He gets to the rim at will and finishes as well as anybody with either hand. He never turns it over. He plays really good defense. He reads the pick and roll and finds the open guy with amazing consistency. And for past couple of games he's been on fire from three. I don't know what the ceiling is for him, but this is the floor. Barring injury, this is the worst version we're ever going to see of this dude and I'm almost ready to say that he's already better than Tony Parker ever was.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
That’s a brutal L but the Pels aren’t as bad as their record.- San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
Harper… man this franchise is blessed.- 2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread

I think Kornet for sure would have helped but his minutes were wonky since Vic was on the restriction. Kornet had already played 33 minutes. I don't know how much he had left in the tank at the end for the French Vanilla combo.- NBA 2025-2026 Season Thread
Thanks for the article. He's such a physical outlier anyway, One of one. I don't know how analogous adolescent academy soccer players playing for a club team in Europe are to the type of specific training and attention to injury prevention that Wemby has been going through since he was 14 years old. The strained calf and the ankle sprains I think are par for the course for NBA players in general. I was speaking more specifically to the deep vein thrombosis than growth-related injuries like Osgood-Schlatter´s disease. Since that's what knocked him out of the season last year. I think the reports that he's still growing are bullshit, but who knows? He played 71 games as a rookie and then 46 out of 52 games last year before the DVT. But for sure injuries were always going to be the biggest question about his career.- NBA 2025-2026 Season Thread
They always have been and will continue to be extremely cautious with him as they are with all of their players coming off injury. But he's not on any sort of permanent minutes restriction as far as I know. He played 20 minutes against OKC. 25 last night. They are just ramping him up. He was playing ~35 minutes a game before he got hurt. He's 21. You guys are dreaming / being ridiculous. With regard to comparisons to Holmgren, you're the doctor... you tell me the likelihood of the deep vein thrombosis coming back to be something chronic or that is career altering? That seems like a one off, especially in the upper body. Chet, on the other hand, had a lisfranc injury before he ever played an NBA game and fractured his pelvis. He seems a lot more fragile to me and he doesn't look like he's filling out the way Wemby is even though he's two years older. I hope the Spurs remain extremely cautious with Vic not only for his long term health but also to the point where they keep him out enough to not hit 65 games and isn't eligible for the super max. Helps their cap down the road. As long as he's healthy for the playoffs...- San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
Great experience for this team regardless. Future is ridiculously bright.- San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
Completely killed on 50/50 balls. Horrible on the boards. Gave up way too many open threes. - San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
