The Boston Celtics celebrated winning their 18th NBA Championship by defeating the Dallas Mavericks in five games. It seemed like easy money for the ballin' Boston Celtics, and hardly anyone gave the Mavericks a chance. That was last season; get ready for the 2024-2025 season!

Before we look to this new season, here is a look at how the regular season ended last season:

LEGEND:
! = playoff team
!! = playoff team, won division
* = play-in tournament team

--- EASTERN CONFERENCE (End of Regular Season) ---
ATLANTIC: Boston!! (64-18), NY (50-32), PHI* (47-35), BKN (32-50), TOR (25-57)
CENTRAL: Milwaukee!! (49-33), CLE! (48-34), IND! (47-35), CHI* (39-43), DET (14-68)
SOUTHEAST: Orlando!! (47-35), MIA* (46-36), ATL* (36-46), CHA (21-61), WAS (15-67)
EAST PLAYOFFS (1-6; then 7-10): BOS, NY, MIL, CLE, ORL, IND; PHI, MIA, CHI, ATL

--- WESTERN CONFERENCE (End of Regular Season) ---
NORTHWEST: Oklahoma City!! and Denver! (57-25 each), MIN! (56-26), UTA (31-51), POR (21-61)
PACIFIC: Los Angeles Clippers!! (51-31), PHX! (49-33), LAL* (47-35), SAC* and GS* (46-36 each)
SOUTHWEST: Dallas!! (50-32), NO* (49-33), HOU (41-41), MEM (27-55), SA (22-60)
WEST PLAYOFFS: (1-6; then 7-10): OKC, DEN, MIN, LAC, DAL, PHX; NO, LAL, SAC, GS

So obviously, Boston is the team to beat for this season. Who will challenge them for the NBA Championship this season? What unsuccessful or non-playoff team(s) may probably improve for this season? What players will prove themselves to be formidable in the NBA this upcoming season? A lot of questions, and it will be up to the NBA teams and players to answer them for us.

Are you ready to discuss this new season? Everything from the NBA Draft to the final game of the 2024-2025 NBA Finals is fair game for discussion here. Ready? GO!
 
Love the Kel'el Ware and Pelle Larsson picks for Miami. Regardless of whether Pat puts superstars on the roster, this team is gonna be stacked deep with pace n space talent that should be able to contend again by the next 2-3 years.
 
Ware and Alondes Williams are looking great for Miami. Actually, everyone from the Skyforce squad looks so much better than other G-leaguers playing summer ball right now. Hopefully Ware can establish himself as the 5 to allow Bam to play the 4. Miami would have an awesome big lineup with Ware Bam and Jovic at 5,4,3, then maybe Jaquez at 2 and Rozier on point. Still wondering what the situation with Jimmy Butler is gonna be, but I still feel like we can be a playoff team in a post-Jimmy world.
 
Love the NBA on TNT? Well, enjoy it for this upcoming season because this will be the last one covered on Turner Sports. Turner Sports and Amazon were in a war for carrying NBA coverage moving forward. This also means Inside the NBA also will be going kaput on Turner Sports. Sad...
 
During the Paris 2024 Olympics, there was a commercial about something you may or may not have seen. All I can say is... "it's coming... back." The NBA on NBC will return next Fall/Autumn! This gives me flashbacks of when the Houston Rockets won the NBA Championship in 1994 and 1995. It will be interesting seeing the NBA on NBC return next year. Play that "Roundball Rock" song as many times as you like in its honor!
 
Steph Curry signed a one-year extension with the Golden State Warriors worth $62.6M USD. So to all the other 29 NBA teams, don't let Steph Curry drop three-pointers on you.
 
I see the Knicks have finalized the trade for KAT. I think it is a win win for both teams. I hated Donte go but hey you got to do what you got to do. This move was made strictly for the playoffs. This helps them match up with Boston. Also it creates space for Brunson. This is the most excited I have been about the Knicks since the 90s when Patrick Ewing was playing.
 
The NBA Preseason has begun. It's time for the NBA's teams to all try to get themselves ready for Opening Day (October 22). Time to get excited, NBA fans!
 
Next Tuesday, GTPlanet. Next Tuesday... we begin the 2024-2025 season next Tuesday! And when it's time to tipoff the new season, these two games will be played:

(Both games next Tuesday (October 22, 2024))
  • NY Knicks at BOS Celtics <<< BOS = defending Champions
  • MIN Timberwolves at LAL Lakers

Both games will be on the NBA on TNT, which will have its swan song season before the NBA on NBC returns for the 2025-2026 NBA season. These two games seem compelling. You NBA fans have about a week until the regular season starts up. So get psyched!
 
The Houston Rockets finished the 2024 NBA Preseason with a 3-1 record. Preseason:

  • HOU at UTA - lost 122-113
  • HOU at OKC - won 122-113, OT
  • NO at HOU - won 118-98
  • SA at HOU - won 129-107

The first regular season game for the Rockets is this Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. I do feel good about the Rockets this upcoming season. Reed Sheppard is going to be a huge part of our offense this season. I am hoping the Rockets become a playoff team- even if 10th in the West or even if making the Play-In Tournament. The long shot, though, would be sixth or better in the West and/or winning the Southwest Division.


All you other NBA fans get excited for the upcoming regular season. Cheer on your favorite team(s).
 
The 2024-2025 NBA season begins this Tuesday. How do you all feel about your favorite teams this upcoming season? Feel free to share your mind if you wish.
 
I am hoping my Knicks can at least make it to the EC finals. I feel like they match up with Boston well. Hopefully Brunson continues to improve. He should with the spacing created by KAT. The pic and roll with those two will be deadly
 
kjb Your Knicks and my Rockets have one thing in common- hungry. The Knicks balled hard last season while my Rockets are scrappy up-and-comers. Houston hasn't been great since they let go of James Harden. I need not tell you how intense the Western Conference is.

Any other thoughts on teams, GTPlaneteers?
 
I like Houston's coach. He did a really good job in Boston before he got fired. I haven't seen enough of the Rockets to make any definitive statements about them but I do think they are maybe a player or two away maybe. Having a sharpshooter like Sheppard should open things up though. The West is very deep and if the Rockets can get at least to the play in the will be great for them. This is the 1st time in a long time where I feel like both conferences are really strong. I still give the West a slight edge from top to bottom because I believe the East is more top heavy than West
 
Just a reminder for you NBA fans... we hoop it up for 2024-2025 starting tomorrow. We got Knicks at Celtics followed by Timberwolves at Lakers. Just about everyone else starts up this new season on Wednesday. It will be time to start that 82-game grind again soon.
 
National Basketball Association fans of GTPlanet... the new season begins TONIGHT! Two games kick off the madness of this season while most everyone else make their regular season debut tomorrow night. Just know one thing- the NBA is BACK with another full season to come.

Enjoy Opening Night!
 
Let me touch up on a few news notes on my Houston Rockets...

The Houston Rockets signed Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun to extensions. Jalen Green's contract extension is three years worth $106M USD. Alperen Sengun's contract extension is $185M for five years.

Houston finished last season 41-41, 11th in the Western Conference. Maybe these moves will help the Rockets develop better in returning to being a postseason team.
 
Let's run it back C's B2B!

It just happened- LeBron James and Bronny James hit the floor together. Father and son suited up and ready to ball together in the NBA. Never happened in the NBA before until tonight. Amazing.
 
My Knicks got run out the building. No defense they got hit with a barrage of 3s. Boston received their rings used that as fuel to beat the snot out of the Knicks. It got so bad the Yankees caught some strays as chants of Yankees suck were heard. They looked bad this 1st game but there 81 more games. They get it together once they work the kinks out
 
I saw most of that game, and... let's be honest. Boston at home are baller. Boston basically tried to go after the made 3's record once they knew they were going to win the game easy. That is probably the only good news for Knicks fans on Opening Night. This still won't take away the Knicks from being a threat in not only their Division, but also in the Eastern Conference and maybe overall. Keep at it, Knicks!
 
Just a reminder... just about every other NBA team will be playing tonight to start their 2024-2025 NBA campaign. Cheer on your favorite team(s) and make this season awesome!

Enjoy the 2024-2025 NBA season!
 
So far, so bad (just one game, I know). The Charlotte Hornets overcame an 18-point deficit to spoil the Houston Rockets' season opener. Charlotte wins 110-105. Memphis is next on Friday night. The Grizzlies game is more important since it is a Division game for the Rockets. There are 81 games left in the season, but 2024-2025 starts with a loss for a team that won 41 games last season. Even the beautiful new scoreboard for the Rockets shown off the ugly disappointment of failing tonight.


Congratulations to all other winners from tonight! Hopefully your team(s) is/are among the winners.
 
Tonight's schedule:

  • BOS Celtics at WAS Wizards
  • SA Spurs at DAL Mavericks (NBA on TNT)
  • OKC Thunder at DEN Nuggets (NBA on TNT)
  • MIN Timberwolves at SAC Kings

Enjoy tonight's games!
 
Knicks picked up a good win over the Pacers tonight. All the starters scored in double digits, they held Indiana to 3 made 3 pointers after giving up 29! the other night. Tyrese Halibumington scored zero points because Mikal Bridges shut him down. Halibumington tried to a villain after last year's playoff win but you actually have to be good to be villain and he is not that good 😊. Anyway it's just one game still a lot of season left
 
Piston 0-4

"Man, I can't watch these guys anymore; they're terrible. At least I have a second team with the Jazz."

Utah 0-3

"Ok I didn't need to watch basketball anyway."
 
Meanwhile... my Houston Rockets are 2-2. We lost on Opening Day to Charlotte, won against Memphis, lost at San Antonio, and won at San Antonio. Houston doesn't have to leave the state of Texas for the first seven or so games.
 
The NBA on TNT has two of tonight's four games televised. Tonight on the NBA on TNT, it will be the Dallas Mavericks at the Minnesota Timberwolves, followed by the New Orleans Pelicans at the Golden State Warriors. So enjoy some NBA hoops tonight!
