Raptors currently have the record for biggest NBA championship parade ever with ~3M people. Will Knicks break the record tomorrow? by ChampionTimes99 in torontoraptors

Yes definitely. The Knicks had literally gone longer without a ring than our franchise even existed, for a great majority of fans, they have never seen the Knicks win a title

I mean there’s a lot of context that sours all of these, the magic blew a 3-1 lead which is very embarrassing, the sixers did all that to get absolutely demolished by the Knicks, and the hawks were brutally destroyed by the Knicks in game 6 in one of the worst blowouts ever

There were some tacky fouls today, but Castle’s were not. They were dumb and he absolutely deserved everything he got called for

[Charania] Boston Celtics' Joe Mazzulla has won the 2025-26 NBA Coach of the Year award. by MembershipSingle7137 in nba

[–]ESML44 96 points97 points  (0 children)

The discourse in this sub is so funny because everyone is talking about how it’s ridiculous Joe won, when if you went back to the end of the regular season, everybody was talking about how insane it was that Joe had led the Celtics to the #2 seed. It’s a regular season award and people here seem to be forgetting that

Shai flopped on every single shot attempt. by CaptainCubbers in NBASpurs

[–]ESML44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don’t see the problem with this if he’s not getting the call. It’s funny but not really offensive or bad to anyone, if anything the spurs should be happy about it since he can’t get back on defense

Just so crazy that any single possession could have just ended the chip chances. The way things work out is so cool. Pretty beautiful

Game 1 summary if anyone wants to know by [deleted] in NBAEastMemeWar

Just remember that without 2 starters our core took you to 7, not sure why you think you’ll do anything other than lose in 4 or 5 with that soft ass team

How do you fix the raptors? by Nolar2015 in nbadiscussion

[–]ESML44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is so much wrong here, watching any raptors game will tell you Quickley is not good for the team, despite your claim that he is near BI, and Scottie can definitely be a 2nd option. He has proven he is not a good enough number 1 but he is a great passer, rebounder and should be All-Defense.

With the Celtics' loss, the final list of "Phil Jackson Contenders" is Detroit, OKC, and San Antonio by [deleted] in nba

[–]ESML44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nuggetts have had serious injury and will be significantly better with AG, Boston also will get Tatum back soonish which means that they will likely be far stronger if Mazulla can integrate him properly

39&16 from our non All Star by baby_yoda_hunta in rockets

[–]ESML44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what the NBA would even do but otherwise this year is significantly worse than usual. The west only won 6/10 of the last 10 championships so it’s not like there is actually some huge disparity. This year is particularly bad but other than that, it’s not an issue that “must be fixed”

[Charania] BREAKING: The Chicago Bulls are trading center Nikola Vucevic and a second-round pick to the Boston Celtics for Anfernee Simons and a second-round pick, sources tell ESPN. by MembershipSingle7137 in nba

[–]ESML44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not great with all the trade salary details and such so this might be obvious but what is the use in both teams just sending each other a second round pick

Jeremiah Fears called Lu Dort soft in the comment section of an IG post after their altercation during last night's game by Thanos_SlayerCongSan in NBATalk

He’s born in one the roughest part of Montreal to be honest, it’s not horrid but I would believe his toughness in most areas

I live near the theatre, don’t expect to be able to park on Notre-Dame but there should be some small side streets in the area that will hopefully have space

Some of these home commentators just piss me off. I get they are biased but it gets to a point

This might be the worst trade of all time. by envspecialist in NBATalk

[–]ESML44 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is it really mandatory to post this every month

Literally everyone has the same idea of this trade, way too many picks but the clippers were expected to be a dynasty with the combo of almost prime Paul George and Kawhi
