2024 NBA Season

I don't like the chemistry of OKC been watching their pre season i think its a bad choice to pick melo who think he is still the MVP instead they should pick a good center like Demarcus Cousins.

I know your feeling but it already happened, the trade was done and I'm pretty sure that their coach or any of the coaching staff does notice it. I have a big trust with OKC but still I have my own bet, I just want to see another team get into the finals and I think OKC has a big edge. What the team needs to do is to keep on practicing and knowing each other so that they'll play comfortably.

Well its really a question if who will dominate the west as we seen how well Houston played inside the pre season a lots of 3point shooters and a great 1-2 punch coming from harden and Paul, regarding with okc I think they are still in the process of building their chemistry they have their own versions of a super team so its up to coaches if how to control and pick who's really hot and can manage the win.

Too early to say, it's still the preseason. Everything comes down differently in the long run.

If Wade can maintain what he's doing in pre season to regular season. There's a high possibility that they will be in the Finals again and  can match up now against GSW. That would be entertaining to watch if ever they will face again.

Don't worry he can maintain what he showed during the preseason he's a versatile and consistent players knowing that from his past team at Chicago Bulls there's no noise that he's bringing there because he lacks of teammates that can play well together with him. But now he's with a good lads that can bring a team up together up until the finals I wish he'll continue his contract after 1 year.

Wade understand his rule, he knows that he is not the main man anymore and just a supporting cast for Lebron but together they can create a good team. They are a very dangerous team now as they are compose of MVPs who are good enough to deliver a win especially in tough times.

But being a support for the superstar is a big thing and Wade's really know his role on this team now and he likes it more than his past team. There's a lot of happening and exposure for him now on this team together with Lebron and I know that their main goal now is to hit the championships and beat the crap out of Golden State Warrior, I'm not telling that they have assurance but they've something on this.

Warriors are still the same team, they are more confident now as they won the championship but the cavaliers are more determine to take that away from them and once again champion. Having 3 big players (wade, Thomas, and Rose) is such a steal, it clearly show how badly they want to beat the warriors, although Lebron loses his teammate but it was for improvement and now we can see that only Lebron is the main man in the team.

Yeah the confidence with them is real since they've been through many times of championships. The rival is real with these two teams because they are always facing in the end but I doubt it that it will take any longer and they'll be able to defend their own good games. I'm looking for another team that will be able to make it this season and will be able to beat any of them in semi's.

I watched the preseason between the cavaliers and the Bulls, the line was Cavs at -8.5 and they are playing at their home court.
The result was very disappointing, I thought they will deliver and give a good show to the fans, they loss against the bulls and they were dominated. It seems like they do not have the chemistry yet, Rose as a point guard now does not blend well on the system their coach has design.

Do you bet on Preseason games?

I bet on preseason game but I have not tried betting with onehash.com.
There are a lot of sites that I used and I actually love to do live betting and I don't know if the site you recommended has that kind of feature.

Yes i bet on cavs vs bull suddenly got loss. I recommend to bet on live betiting especially pre season games the teams are not taking the game seriously

It seems like the starters are not playing well, they sat in the 4th quarter that's why the bulls were able to take a big lead.
This is pre-season so you cannot expect big performance from them, be wise in betting and don't just put your money on your favorite team because sometimes upset happens even if they are heavily favored to win.

It's not because of chemistry but pre season games is different from regular season. Look at how Cavaliers didn't able to force themselves to take up the lead again during end of third eventhough they can.

Plus can't imagined you take the risk of -8.5 spread for Cavaliers on pre season game. That was a risky pick mate.

Exactly it's still a preseason and there's nothing to think about that much with those games. It's mostly like a practice game and no team does really care about it, they won't even show what they had done in their practice games. There are few more days before the regular season starts. 6 more sleeps or should I say 5 1/2 days to go before seeing the first match for this year.

PS: I noticed the replacement of title, thanks op.

A couple of outspoken NBA owners have proposed seeding playoff teams 1-16 by record, regardless of conference. What say you?

So theres talks about a 1-16 playoff teams. That would eliminate the West vs East and just get the 16 best teams in the NBA to match up against each other, regardless of the conference. This just shows how much of a difference there is between conferences. Lebron will have a free pass to the NBA finals in the following years if this keeps going like this. The Warriors will finaly have some competition on their side.
For me, this shouldnt happen, I like the format as it is right now. No need to have the Warriors play the 16 seed when it could cause one of their super stars to get hurt.

This is crazy, changing the usual thing is something that shouldn't be done. They should respect what's the old way of playoffs as they used to play like that. I think this is just something that wanted fans to worry about this thing about the whole league. They shouldn't even think about this matter since the season is about to start and preseason will end soon.

Let's stick to the current rule, I think it's more fun if we do not change anything, I like watching the warriors and the cavaliers playing again in the Finals. I don't know what made them think that fans will like this proposed change, in the end it should be the fans decision who will be followed  because we are the one who are making their business profitable in the world of entertainment.

Tell it to the management of NBA, I'm not really into those rules but changing it with what we used to watch and we expect that's a really crazy man. And I would love to say to you that it will not be the fans who will be deciding but the management, we can't do anything with it. Sticking to their rules is up to them so if ever they used to change it, we can't do protest man, it's their business and they have to do it for themselves.

There are a lot of surprises in this pre season so you cannot really rely on the odds alone and how good the team is.
Usually starters does not play hard to avoid injury and knowing this will give a gambler a chance to win betting on the bigger odds, just like today, the sixers are +7.5 against the Nets and it seems like they are winning this game so that's a good winning for those who take the ML.

[Khristian]

for me my prediction on NBA 2018 its very exciting for me i will for golden state warriors. there is still no team or team in the east or west that will meet the GSW. very powerful lineup of GSW line up for me back to back champs for that team. nothing new to the GSW team. Unlike other teams build a superstar player together to beat the golden state. GSW for champ.

[BillyTalent]

I have been in favor of San Antonio Spurs since the mid-nineties. I understand that they have few chances to become champions this season, but I still want them to win.

[Vastraint]

Finally within 2 days the NBA starts again!

Who will win NBA 2017/18?

Golden State  @1.55
Cleveland       @5.50
Boston            @9.00
Houston         @12.00
San Antonio   @13.00
Oklahoma      @21.00


I expect to see a final between Golden State vs Cleveland but much more balanced than last NBA

I don't want to see another finals with Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers. I want to see some other teams like Oklahoma Thunders, they have what it takes and they have the guts to be in the semi's - finals. I think it's unfair that you'll not include other teams with your choices as you are undervaluing them though this list seems to be legit. Chances of seeing GSW and CV is there but I want to watch just another finals.

As much as we like to have a new team vying for the ring this year, Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers are the likely front runner to go against it once more. Teams have upgraded, acquiring new members so that they can keep up with the two teams. However, it seems that they are the team to beat in the West/East conference. I didn't say that other teams have no chance to get into the finals, but the two has up the ante and the other teams need to catch up with them. We are almost on the beginning of the season. Let's see how Westbrook game would adjust, can he make triple double every game? How about Wade? or Rose on Cavaliers? Will they have the second wind to perform better this year because they have Lebron?

They are contenders and candidates again for this year's season. But it looks like we have a beast that will stay on his nature and will definitely have the potential to bring his squad up to the finals. And that's why I'm counting them to beat most of the teams that can bring them to semi's and not only there but also in the finals, excited to watch the start of this season.

And the time I admired (San Antonio Spurs), is only at top 3. I wonder what is the  improvement of Kawhi leonard this season. As we can see hes one of the most humble yet one of the guys that has the potential to be one of the greatest someday ( I still felt bad that had an injury in the last semi finals ). Lebron on the other hand is a monster, great passing and basketball IQ and he had Wade now. A very dangerous player, this will be hard to predict but of course there are so many fans of Golden state warriors and their players are solid.
I hope that this years finals would be a great battle.

[eagleman]

Can't still move on with the last season because of Kawhi Leonard's injury. They played well but they are just a certain player dependent, counting them in as a contender for this season is a good one. I'm not a sports analyst and I want every team to get into the finals but with a lot of player shuffle and trades, this season is quite tough for everybody. We can't expect the old ones will be the good ones and even those teams that has changed their roster.

Golden state warriors have their won't unique style of playing, the ball rotation, assisting, fastbreaks and especially their shooting percentage in 3 point territory. They're already a solid team. But lots of superstar player in east went to west and already team up with other superstar player let's see how golden state warriors will battle against them. Meanwhile, stephen curry are overrated with his shooting and he's range are almost in the halfcourt. Even they didn't changed their roster I think they still the number one team this season.

no question about that mate with curry durant thompson green and iggy i also agree that they still got the super team that they have last season, but with the trade happen and if coaches will able to maximize the chemistry between superstars okc and houston got a big chance to level their super team against gsw, its all about how players and coaches to adjust in order to bring the trophy.

The warriors has the best coach that's why they become a very good team, if they will play the same this year it's still hard to beat them by any team in the NBA. Warriors had already proven they are a good team why for new roaster on a team who also like to build a super team, I guess they have to prove first that they have the chemistry to play together. Durant was fresh last season and he easily blend the team despite the fact that he has injuries last season. Let's just watch what will happen, I'm excited to see what will happen when the regular season will start.

No one has any news regarding his status or anything about him I guess he's one of the most underrated player in the league. And I admire him too for his humbleness unlike those other players that thinks they are too supreme and popular. The generation of these famous players are today and they can still enjoy it while they are young, popular, has enough strength and flexibility but there will be the time that there's another good rookies out there, so whose your bet?

Im not really comfortable placing bets on pre-season games. It's like just a practice game so even how good am I for making analyzations, it's useless. Especially when a team is downed for 10+ points on 4th quarter, the bench squad are the ones who are on court now.

Im seeing lots of good picks at the current NBA bets but still I don't want to take the risk. I will wait for season games where every win is important.
