NBA 2024-25 Playoff Thread
Payton just signed a 4 year 30 million extension this offseason, but both Ty and Malik are unrestricted free agents this offseason. I bet both of them get upgraded to starters next year, while Payton gets to be the first man off the bench for the Celtics and likely wins a couple more of these.

I thought the team did pretty well when they sent Green to the bench and brought in Jabari. Eason was also pretty good in his limited time. I don't think this team can afford to have Fred and Green on the floor together when they both are doing horrendously all game.- NBA 2024-25 Playoff Thread
"Jokic hitting the eject button!" lol even the announcers aren't buying that flop.- NBA 2024-25 Playoff Thread
MPJ got pancaked on the floor during that loose ball scrum. I didn't know you could just jump on a guy while he's on the floor lol.- NBA 2024-25 Playoff Thread
Ohhhhh nooooooooooooo Gordon!! Missing a huge momentum shifting dunk of the back of the rim...- NBA 2024-25 Playoff Thread
Westbrook is having a good game, Jokic just got a triple double. Tie game with 4 minutes to go. Good series so far.- All Time 1-On-1 Tournament- who makes the finals?
Prime Lebron vs Prime Jordan would be a hell of a fight, but I think Lebron would come out on top due to size advantage.- NBA 2024-25 Playoff Thread
I also forgot about that, and now I really want Denver to win this series.- NBA 2024-25 Playoff Thread
Brunson gets away with a ton of contact on defense, yet is getting all sorts of calls of soft contact on offense. Tough to watch garbage calls like that. Also he kinda looks like Elle from Last of Us.- NBA 2024-25 Playoff Thread
Not looking great for Detroit. Knicks have all the momentum, and the Pistons offense doesn't forgot how to shoot. Still gonna be close, but they gotta get it together.- NBA 2024-25 Playoff Thread
Lol what a dumb challenge...- NBA 2024-25 Playoff Thread
Nice behind the back and into a dunk on a fast break by Cade. Pistons up by 13 in the 3rd.- 2024-2025 Houston Rockets thread - Prepare for Liftoff 🚀 [Now Featuring Kevin Durant]
Yeah, I don't think it's happening tonight. 4-25 from 3 is abysmal (fred is 1-10 lol). The fact that it's not a 20+ point loss is surprising, but they got some fight in them to still win this series.- 2024-2025 Houston Rockets thread - Prepare for Liftoff 🚀 [Now Featuring Kevin Durant]
Obvious travel, resulted in 2 points for GS.- 2024-2025 Houston Rockets thread - Prepare for Liftoff 🚀 [Now Featuring Kevin Durant]
I expect Amen to shoot better after this game, get the jitters out and all that. He's doing horribly on O, but playing good defense, getting rebounds, and helping move the ball around a bit. Nothing wrong with that, but he's got 6 points on 3-8 shooting and missed all 4 free throws.- 2024-2025 Houston Rockets thread - Prepare for Liftoff 🚀 [Now Featuring Kevin Durant]
Yeah, Green is not good. I hope he's not on the team next year, tired of his bullshit. They have to recognize his limitations in this game and the fact that he kinda sucks on defense. Would rather see Jabari out there.- 2024-2025 Houston Rockets thread - Prepare for Liftoff 🚀 [Now Featuring Kevin Durant]
Maybe the Twin Towers lineup is the key to winning this game...- 2024-2025 Houston Rockets thread - Prepare for Liftoff 🚀 [Now Featuring Kevin Durant]
Damn I love me some Steven Adams. I hope that guy stays a few more years.- video: demar derozan involved in physical altercation at sushi restaurant
wrong thread lol.- Hey Oil Barons.......
Yup, they are adding several hundred new employees in India this year, and several thousand more over the next 2-3 years. I think Chevron has around 46000 employees globally right now, so 20% total reduction is 9200 jobs lost (not all are in the US). But you have to add the ~600 jobs added in India that are masking some of it, and the reality is that it's closer to 10,000 layoffs in 2025 alone. A lot of that will come from San Ramon as they exit California, and give people the option to move to Houston to keep their jobs, but they expect a good portion of those folks to decline it and make an exit. I heard around 2000 of the layoffs will be in the Houston area, but that number also includes retirements too, which could be a substantial amount given the age of the workforce. When asked during a town hall if there would be any guarantee that there won't be more layoffs next year, the new CIO dismissed the question and wouldn't say anything reassuring against that idea. So there will likely be another round of re-org next year too as they add more people in India and remove their counterpart positions. Exxon and Shell moved a bunch of services to India a few years ago, and now Chevron and BP are following that path. Supposedly the lack cost savings from India is what's keeping Chevron from being higher rated than 3/4th in their Top 5 O&G benchmark analysis.- NBA 2024-25 Playoff Thread

The other thing I worry about in this series is how much the team is going to rely on Jalen Green. If he has one of his 5 game slumps again going like 3-14 and 8 points, we could be in for a rough ride. I hope he blossoms into an ice cold killer, but I doubt that happens.- 2024-2025 Houston Rockets thread - Prepare for Liftoff 🚀 [Now Featuring Kevin Durant]
I seriously doubt they will let the Rockets defense treat Curry the way they did in the last meeting. I hope we get to see it, but I don't think it's going to happen. Curry and Jimmy will probably average 20+ free throws a game together, and the Rockets are going to have to find a way to overcome that. They can do it, but it's not gonna be a fair fight.- Trump’s America
Nah, we have at least 6-8 weeks before being gay is considered terrorism, so you should be good for now. - 2024-2025 Houston Rockets thread - Prepare for Liftoff 🚀 [Now Featuring Kevin Durant]
