2025-26 NBA Season Thread: Back to Agenda Watching!

Added to Calendar: 10-21-25

Look at Wemby, Ant, and Khawhi, that’s love for the game. It doesn’t matter if I’m at the Y or in the Finals, I’m going to ball. Could you imagine Jordan or Kobe not being competitive in any scenario? That’s what I’m talking about, the love of the game.

And yes I know US players be bullshittin’ too, but I just don’t get the same level of care from some of these international players. Or maybe it’s just Luka and Jokic and I’m generalizing. I don’t really care to deep dive on it, it’s just my general observation.



I didn’t know this so I’ll ease off my criticism.
But you keep mentioning wemby who is an international player contradicting your generalization. Why are we doing this US vs international players bullshit? You think thats what Giannis or sga would be on? It's a fallacy. Not to mention those guys were nursing injuries. You're ust saying anything lol. The team with the worst pool of healthy active players lost thats it. Wasn't no one to blame.
 
Rockets might as well be the Curb Your Enthusiasm of NBA

Always in these random and ridiculous situations for no reason

Royce White being afraid to fly
Danuel House trying to smuggle hoes into the bubble
Daryl Morey causing a geopolitical crisis with China
The restricted free agency debacle with BJ Armstrong and Motiejunas
Melo sent home after 10 games
Ryan Anderson not being able shoot at home

The fact that someone ran to the media with this information instead of addressing it privately says its probably over. KD either gonna go nuclear on the court to shut everyone up or shutdown mentally off the strength.

I don't know the nigga but he comes off as the type it's hard to fix things with once they go bad.

We have documented evidence of Kobe admittedly not shooting in an elimination game to "prove a point" lol. The media has also given Jokic this "i don’t care about anything" coverage so it's a built in shield
 
Tanking don't mean shit if you draft the wrong player or if Silver is gonna be awarding franchises gifts like many think he did for Flagg, Wemby, Chet and Zion. It is what it is.

The major change this year, aside from the format, was the game’s airtime and channel. Rather than a primetime telecast on TNT, this year’s All-Star Game aired at 5 p.m. ET on NBC. The game immediately followed NBC’s telecast of Olympic figure skating, and led into NBC’s Primetime in Milan coverage. NBC reportedly averaged 26.6 million viewers for its Winter Olympics coverage on Sunday, though that is a combined figure between different networks and windows.

It’s very possible that NBC’s audience before and after the NBA All-Star Game matched or even exceeded the audience that tuned in to the NBA. Hour-by-hour viewership is not immediately available. Regardless of the exact figure, it provided a much better lead-in and lead-out than TNT did for its All-Star Game telecasts.

Also of note, late-afternoon and early-evening Sunday windows tend to be the most-watched for live sporting events on broadcast television. Audiences for late-afternoon NFL games regularly surpass that of NBC’s primetime Sunday Night Football window. So while many complained about the earlier start time for this year’s All-Star Game so NBC could accommodate its Olympic obligations, the 5 p.m. ET window may have helped boost viewership even further.
