The Official 2024/25 NBA Week 5 Thread - Who are these Cavs?

[Warsaw]

Work trips where you don’t have the bandwidth to look at what the Sixers are doing…? Rate it.

Apathy the fans have on the regular season has now rubbed off onto the team itself.

No one’s getting traded this season, but if they continue to bury themselves to the point where the Flagg/Ace sweepsteaks becomes really real, then the post-Embiid blueprint becomes pretty clear.

McCain innocent.

GoEaglesGoSGIO You still think that Young is going to be the next Curry?

Nope. He doesn’t have that dog in him which is weird cos he showed it early on.

I don’t think he has put the work in since he got in the league.

My money is on Eric Gordon leaking the information out

That entire team earns a combined 10.5 mill a year

Or about as much as Ben Simmons's right arm.

We'll see you there for the tankathon draft party.

Also reckon the bolded is becoming a huge issue for the league writ large. Adam Silver should be thankful he already has the new media rights deal in hand, put it that way.

Wolves and Mavericks the most disappointing teams to start the season for mine.

Well it is annoying to say but the Lakers starting 5 is pretty nicely balanced. You don't need a Schroeder or a Westbrook or a De'Angelo type when you have Lebron and AD plus a smart secondary guy like Reaves. It allows to add a Kon-nect shooter and then you have Lebron, AD and Reddish with a lot of size and length to cover for the 2 white guys defense, which isn't too bad considering they are both 6'5-6'6 as well.

Or maybe JJ Redick is a smart coach or Lebron is a smart coach whichever you prefer.

There may be two Eastern Conference teams that have them beat.

Klay is just cooked. A terrible signing . Jones Jnr provided much more to the team than Klay does. Time to start Grimes and put Klay to the bench

Randle has been very good, not as good as KAT but good. Issues are with poor play from PG and ANT in poor form too

Ben Simmons is in his mansion grinning ear to ear watching this unfold.

Embiid.. the main guy? GTFO.

Can't believe this franchise have wasted the process on the man that cried his way to a MVP.

Fultz, Okafor, Simmons, Grant, Cater-Williams. Failure.

Just wait for them to end up with Cooper Flagg as well.

Clippers not getting enough love for how they started the season. I thought they'd be lucky to win 35 games if Kawhi missed a bunch of time.

Currently 9-7 and they have played the Warriors twice, Thunder twice, Rockets twice, Suns twice, as well as the Nuggets, Kings and Magic. Would have to be the hardest schedule to date.

Grinning about what exactly? Injured out of shape Embiid is still 10x the player of peak Simmons.

Embiid has his flaws but he at least isn’t scared of a lay up.

 

[Nicho50]

Brunson and Towns on track to be the first guard centre combo to average 25 since Kobe and Shaq.

Towns has had more 30 point games this season already than he did last year. Fair to say it’s been a good trade so far.

Their record surprised me having only watched their 2 games against the Rockets. They really struggled in those games and I had just assumed they were right down the bottom of the west.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Haliburton is so ass at the moment id probably just bench him for McConnell . Just contributing in no way at present

 

[Son of Skeletor]

Benjamin Simmons Esq. scores two points on his return to Philly.

Not sure who's laughing tbh.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Man I love Giannis.
