SAN FRANCISCO, CA – When you lose by 37 points to the Oklahoma City Thunder, with Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green sidelined, the takeaways are slim.

The Golden State Warriors basically accepted their Friday night clash against the Oklahoma City Thunder as a scheduled loss as they rested Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green as the reigning champion.

For how good the 2024-25 season was to the Indiana Pacers, their 2025-26 season has been just as brutal, perhaps even more so.

Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce set off a debate by saying Jaylen Brown deserves serious MVP consideration for the 2025-26 season.

The Toronto Raptors’ play may have fallen a bit as of late, but they remain in fourth place in the congested Eastern Conference with a 20-15 record.
