2024 NBA Season

Paul George will be put on trading market again?

George reportedly dissapointed for what Oklahoma City Thunders is experiencing today, so much losses. They really destroyed the expectations to them. However there are still lots of games before the trade deadline so I think there is still time to regain momentum eventhough it should already happened. For me, Melo and Westbrook combination is really not a good blend since they are both ball hoggers.

We will follow this..

They really don't have the chemistry because despite the fact that they are all star players, they cannot easily their opponent even though it's not good teams. Let's take for example their game today versus the Pacers, although they won the game but their numbers are not quite good to see.
Based on the following shooting statistics (Westrbrook 3-17 -Anthony 4-14, and PG 3-14) it's very poor and even if you combine their shooting percentage it will only come up to 22.22% which is not very disappointing.

That 3 star player are all solo type player. This an expected outcome since I knew this super team formation. Neither of the 3 plays as support role so therefore no chemistry and good team play at all. It is just like having 3 locks without a key. Hahaha. They are all functioning in same way so OKC is just a hype team. Look at Houston Rockets team performance after they acquire Chris Paul. Harden plays like Taiga in kuroko basketball anime. They are perfect.

Paul George can adapt the situation since he can played Power Forward like what he did sometimes on Indiana Pacers but on Carmelo, I really doubt it. He is purely a ball hogger even back on his Denver Nuggets days and much more when he was on New York Knicks. They havethe same position of Westbrook and same playing style so it's really not a good tandem and combination.

But hey.. well here comes the chemistry thing again. How long should it take effect? lol

Actually I believe much of that chemistry issue is due to Carmelo. He still believes he plays to an allstar level when it's quiet obvious he no longer does. He can't play second guy to WB or PG.

Charlotte Hornets vs Miami Heat => Heat @2.75

Philadelphia 76ers vs Oklahoma City Thunder => Thunder @1.95

Cleveland and Golden State are always favorites for the victory of the ring

This is not new, these two teams are the most popular team for this decade and generation. They went through championships and they are the closest contenders that can have a come back again for this season.

Charlotte Hornets vs Miami Heat

Solid Heat even without odds will watch this tomorrow.

rockets unstoppable,, capela,ariza and james harden will win this season.. a little bit dissapointed with cavs but anything can happen in playoff

I have the same pick in mind. Hornets have a terrible form and so does the Heat. Most of their wins come from away games which makes them a better pick while the Hornets just lost 3 out of 4 home games this month.  I'll take the point spread for a slightly low risk.
Heat should win here the odds are so skewed imo.

Nah Cavs can't make a perfect score all over the seasson they'r human beings, for me its candidate to win on playoffs.

Rockets V WARRIORS CF coming up. cannot wait.

Winner of that wins the championship. Houston the value. Chris Paul is a stud.

That will most likely be West Finals. But remember what happened with Rockets in game 6 against the Spurs last season...

Btw, that match is not coming up soon. It is on the programme on 5th of January, if I am not mistaken.

Chris paul really made a big difference for houston this season, though it's not ripe yet to talk about who's going to make it to the west finals this early. The teams this year have all improved to say that a certain team will make it all the way

CP3 did relieve Harden a lot of carrying, but what'a most improved I've noticed is Capela. He's functioning and improving  really well ever since Howard took off.

Crazy match at Philly. Important win for OKC. Westbrook is awful though. Probably the worst superstar NBA ever had 
There are questions to 76's coach Brown. I think he doesn't belong to this level. Absolutely his loss.

Yeah, what a game. Triple overtime baby. Much needed win for Oklahoma to get back at .500 for the time being. I really though that the Sixers will pull through, bad play, good defense by Oklahoma and I guess just the breaks of the game and players getting fatigue. It's a ugly lost for the Sixers and I agree about coach Brown, partly to blame with the lost. And the big 3 of Oklahoma did clicked today, with Melo and Paul contributing 24 points apiece. Its gonna be interesting to see Melo back on Madison Square on their next game. Paul George got a lot of boo's when they played in Indiana couple of nights ago, now its Melo's turn.

Why there's a little disappointment on Cavaliers? You don't have to say that since all teams has the will to win. In what game you are disappointed with them? I don't find any fault on them because the league each season is tough and they are doing their best to do everything they can to get into the finals.
Had you watched their latest game against Lakers?

They are still in the  playoffs race and this team is very dangerous when they are fully healthy, when IT will be back we will see a much more improve cavaliers. Also, despite of the injuries, I think they are showing well, although they didn't cover most of the time especially when they are heavy favorites but they are clutch and they can win games.

Cleveland Cavaliers are looking very good in the eastern conference zone table, with LeBron James leading the attack, I don't think Utah Jazz stand a chance against them, even though we might not see Dwyane Wade playing in this match for Cleveland Cavaliers due to a knee injury.

I never get interested with Hornets for this season. But for this match it all goes with Heat and see on how they won against Hornets? I prefer to play without odds and look on how this game ended up. Heat takes this game.

-Houston dominated against San Antonio 124-109 (Harden + Paul 56 points).
-bad defeat instead for Boston(33 points for Irving) against Utah Jazz.
-important victories in the playoff perspective for:Miami,Detroit,Washington,Portland,Toronto and Denver.
-after a bad start of the season, 5th consecutive victory for Chicago

Let's back chicago now because they will continue to be dogs in the game and that gives us good value.
I actually bet on the spurs because I believe they can compete with the Rockets, but I was wrong the Rockets are still as consistent
and they dominated the spurs.

Yeah cavaliers will dominate eastern conference because none of the eastern team can defeat, as of this conference Cleveland is just like walking in the park for their conference final unlike western conference the power house of good teams winning western conference final is very tough specially for the reigning champion, and for the aspiring team in the western conference.

[Netnox]

rockets unstoppable,, capela,ariza and james harden will win this season.. a little bit dissapointed with cavs but anything can happen in playoff 

Yeah.. I saw today's game versus San Antonio Spurs. They really looked unstoppable. With the latest win, they are maintaining a good margin against the second placed Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference. And if I am not wrong, today's win was their 12th consecutive victory. I have never seen a team dominating the NBA like this.

Maybe this playoffs we can see a good competition in the East because looks like the Boston Celtics are their great rival now, also in the west I am hoping to see the Warriors and the Rockets to face in the Western Conference finals. Lot's of surprises this season, I'm hoping to see a great match up in the playoffs like game 7s because it's more fun and thrill to see a long series.

Boston/Cleveland and GSW/Houston are obviously the top matchups for the east and the west but as we've all witnessed many times before, it seldom happens that predicted matchups take place. Especially in the west. Playoff time brings a different tune to the matchups as dark horses emerge. Take for example the spurs. With the string of losses even with kahwi back, people may be writing them off prematurely. I won't be surprised if we see pop battling either gsw or the rockets for the wc title

Houston Rockets vs Milwaukee Bucks => Over 222.5 @1.95

San Antonio Spurs vs Dallas Mavericks => under 198.5 @1.94
