2025/26 NBA Regular Season Thread

Lowe talking Magic at minute 50:40 for 7 minutes or so. It's pretty harsh/depressing (his guest more than him), so if you're already down for this rough start, better not listen.

Yeah, that's pretty bad. We scored 15 points off of jump shots vs Chicago. That's horrible.

They better turned this thing around or Weltman and Mosely won't make it to all star break.

Can we pickup James Wiseman off waivers? Is he a legit rim protector?

I blame Mosely more than Weltman. Mose is just not a head coach-he has no offensive ability and his rotations/in-game reactions to what is happening just seems very limited; like he has set his rotations and is more tied to them than he is to what is actually happening in the moment.

If that’s true, who hired Mosely?

No and no

Yes, Weltman hired a respected assistant coach who had a decent reputation as a one on one developer, who could hopefully develop as a head coach in the same time frame as the young team. Unfortunately, his offensive program and in-game adjustments have not improved in the same timeframe. It was a cheaper, calculated risk that hasn’t paid off; so it is time to make a change. The only problem is how will that affect the players he has a good relationship with? If Weltman doesn’t make a change, or again goes with a cheap, option with limited, positive playoff experience, then it is time to give him the boot as well. Remember also, when Mose was hired there wasn’t a lot of interest from established coaches.

They won't have coaching changes in season(I don't think) but after? You can easily see this team hire a former champion coach. I guess Malone is the current not working guy?

I had been hoping that Weltman and Mosely were gone before this season. Ownership of this team are asleep at the wheel.

Weltman always sucked. His tenure was extended by that Bulls trade and lucking into Franz. Paolo was the correct pick for a bottom team but really he only gets points for not being fooled into Smith. Very soon it could look like Chet was the real pick, but hey i don't believe that. Chet will have a very short run whatever he turns into. He looks great this year and last playoffs.

Also just as a basketball fan, if the Wizards smoke the Sixers WITH EMBIID i guess i'm gonna go back to football until December. I mean, IT'S THE WIZARDS!
