2024 NBA Season

[LogitechMouse]

Annoying "fans" are talking about the poor performance of LeBron James of Los Angeles Lakers and Gordon Hayward of Boston Celtics.

Those "fans" really need some basketball education lol. Why expecting too much for some of the players in the pre-season? Pre-season games are designed to test the waters especially for the team that composed of new players so that when official season starts, somehow there's already a build up chemistry.

No need to force to win every pre-season games as everyone's target must remained healthy once season starts.

I think they are trolling like others are saying. They know already how the pre season works. Maybe they just want to have a better entertainment I think. They paid just to see their favorite player but its sad that their player didn't played that well.

Haha forget about them. Notice also those "fans" that are coming out during the semi's - finals.

They are much excited than us who are looking at the changes and set of games. Also they probably don't know what pre-season really is so they are commenting about Lebron that way.

LOL, I didn't even know that there are people who judge anything based on the pre-season performance.

I think this happens every year.
They are just more agitated now since it is Lebron who left Cavaliers and then a sudden move to the Lakers.
Seriously, it is expected to happen. Same goes when he left Cavs too for Miami. This is the same reaction from the people.
Trying to take him down because he aint loyal to one team.

That is comedy on the highest level.

I have watched the hawks game and trae seemed like his passing is his best skill.

I think his shooting will be inconsistent and shooting like curry is not always a great idea, he shot some insane shots in college but if you check his latest stats he was missing most of them even tho he had some 40+ point games he had many sub 30% 3pt% games as well.

Even if he is not shooting amazingly (which he might in the future) he definitely has a great passing vision and he can see where his teammates are. I have seen couple amazing passes from him and great assists as well. If he keeps this up he can be a true floor general one day. Collins was great as always of course.

I have watched the hawks game and trae seemed like his passing is his best skill.

I was able to just catch the first quarter, i didn't see anything different from the summer league. He is definitely a great passer and as of now inconsistent shot maker, although shooting 3s is probably why Hawks drafted (swapped picks with Mavs) him. Welp, he will get a lot of playing time for a rookie, i can clearly see Hawks tanking this year; which probably isn't a bad thing considering next year's top draft prospects: Zion and R.J.Barrett.

By the way, tonight on TNT CLE v BOS ECF rematch...sorta, interesting to watch Cavs without Bron. Are we going to see the Kevin Love from the Minnesota days now that he will be the primary option on offense?

Speaking of TNT, i'm not sure if you guys heard but Ernie Johnson has been diagnosed with blood clots. I wish him a speedy recovery.

That's the reality and this isn't only happening to NBA. To every sport there are people like this who are judging the pre-season and becomes a sports analyst after watching 2-3 games.

I think this happens every year.

Same goes for KD after he pushed himself to GSW for those championships.

Those fans are probably trolling, lol. I'm sure that they know that pre-season has no bearing whatsoever, sort of just shaking the cobwebs of every player and bad games doesn't mean that it will go on til the start of the NBA season. So I'm not surprised about those criticising both James and Hayward pre-season performance.

Obviously trolling or they are just expecting too much from those players. But of course superstars should not play their A game in a pre-season match to avoid an unnecessary injuries.

I think they are just starting to heat things up since it is just the Pre Season. Pre Season will not be counted until the Regular Season starts next next  week on October 16, 2018.

I don't know why people are making a big stuff or predictions about the Pre Season but it is just the pre season. It don't count, instead of being disappointed in the results of the first games, we shuold be really hyped in the start of the regular season.

They are newbie in sports, they make comparison in a non bearing games, preseason is where there is no defense and all we see is mostly highlights.
Lebron is better in Regular season because he knows how important a single win for the Lakers in order for them to qualify in the playoffs.

Yea, probably newbies and just trying to troll the fans on the other side of the team. We all know that pre-season is not counted probably can be seen as exhibition match. Its only good for players specially who transfer to get a feel of the new system and new team. Just a couple of weeks this the regular started so we're all getting excited now.

Lebron and Rondo seems to be complimenting each other nicely and Javale Mcgee seems to be playing his heart out on preseason which is not a good look, if you are a good player you do not work hard on preseason, take a look at Lebron.

Rondo and Lebron both good passers so I thought it would be hard for them to actually pass together at the same time since there is only one ball but there has been a lot of Lebron to rondo to someone scoring or rondo to Lebron to someone scoring type of deals that I think they are opening a lot of spacing with great passing. Lakers just needs to find a way to use their two rosters, they are too stacked.

These would benefit the rookies and sophomores in LA having two good passers in the league. The only thing they have to do is to get the basket through the passes of LeBron or rondo.

[Indamuck]

The first thing I realized about spurs is that derozan seems like he knows what he is doing and passes to right teammates.

Getting to know your teammates and knowing how they play and what they like and what type of scorers they are is a great knowledge. For example, lamarcus is a guy who needs to ball at first quarter to get hot, if you start giving him the ball at third quarter you are going to have a trouble because he will miss, you gotta give him couple shots early in the game.

Derozan just needs to fix his defense which looked alright today but its preseason. He did not tire himself on defense because he had to give his 100% on offense in toronto but spurs is a system ball so he can try at defense too, which I think will make his defense so much more better.

Team chemistry is extremely important in basketball, some superstars just do not mesh well together.  The superteam of Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, and Steve Nash ended up failing miserably because of the clash of playstyles.

The consistency the spurs have been able to achieve is very impressive, They would make the playoffs every year even with mediocre players because of their system and coaching staff.  I think Derozan is a bit overrated but the spurs system can turn any player into a major asset.

Really? How did that work for the rookies of cleveland when bron was the big dog there? Anyways,probably by the end of the season we're going to see one young guns of the lakers going to another team lol. Ingram? Kuzma? I seriously think it's not going to be the same team by the end of regular season.

I don't think they'll make any changes this year. Bron said that this year's success would not be measured by winning the championship.

Well, if they have a chance to acquire a major player, shooting the dark: AD or Dame, I'd probably consider trading for them. Otherwise, it's pointless, they've got the cap space to sign a max player next summer. There's no need to rush things. And from what I'm seeing so far in the two preseason games, without overreacting, I like the young guys, don't forget Lonzo. 

PS. Kuzma is going to get his hands full playing the 5

Same goes for KD after he pushed himself to GSW for those championships.

I think it was GSW at that year who had enough cap to get KD to their team.
Well, we could say he really does want a championship that bad and he seems to not see it while staying at OKC.
He got 2 championships now and he might not stop to get more.

By the looks of what happened with 2018 championship KD was the one who made it possible for the GSW to go through the playoffs.
Curry was injured with a lot of games and same for other players. They got the right timing of injuries.

They are good passers but as teammates, they will adjust to it but I think its better if Lebron will be focusing more on shooting since Rondo is there for the passes although this passing abilities by the two will definitely give advantage to the young players of the Lakers.

I think Mcgee is just practicing in the pre-season as he is the starting center of the Lakers now. He is not the starting center when he is in the Warriors.

Indeed, Rondo is one of the best point guard, he does not score much but he can make a good play.
Lebron needs to respect his teammates, he should not bring the ball all the time, he just need to attack and score and the Lakers will be a tough team to beat.

[Indamuck]

Rondo will be a great addition to the Lakers.  He has been one of the most underrated NBA players of the last 10 years. His contribution to the 2008 celtic's championship run often gets overlooked because of the big three.  This guy is a triple double machine and he provides great defense.  His downfall has always been his outside shooting but with his current team, he has others to carry the offensive load.

But of course, he has LeBron on his team so he doesn't need to be a triple double machine. Its his job to be a facilitator and not to be a scoring guard. This season's Lakers is more fearsome than the previous line up because they has the king on it. In addition to that they got two defensive players in McGee and Stephenson.
