What We Got Right… and Wrong: NBA Season Reality Check

The NBA season has been a roller coaster — and it’s time for a reality check. In this episode of The Baseline NBA Podcast, we revisit our preseason predictions and break down what we got right… and what we completely missed.
From rising stars to unexpected team success, we take an honest look at how the season has unfolded. We discuss why our tempered expectations for Amen Thompson proved accurate, how the San Antonio Spurs — led by Victor Wembanyama — are ahead of schedule, and why Kon Knueppel has made an immediate impact.
On the flip side, we revisit misses including underestimating the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers, expecting a leap from Matas Buzelis, and writing off the Phoenix Suns too early. From player development and team performance to playoff implications, we break down the biggest surprises and lessons from this NBA season so far.
