2024 NBA Season

[Ranly123]

Lakers 111-114 Nets ! what do you think about the games guys? LeBron and Spencer scored the highest point among the other players with 20 points in this match. This is the highlights of the Lakers vs Nets match for those of you who missed and can't watch the game live https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNiQtUVjn0c

I can't believe that Brooklyn could actually beat this powerhouse. Lakers with AD and LeBron is something that you could see powering on other teams yet they were beaten by a team without their real power(kyrie and durant). Damn, yet this is still preseason most teams are more likely to let other players play out the game rather than using their star or risking them on an injury. Even if it's just a preseason game, players could get injured.

I would be more amazed if they beat the Lakers in a regular season. With the limited minutes of LeBron and AD, it would not he the Lakers team that we want to see. Yes they can't risk their star players for just a pre-season game that's why we can only see much action from their bench players.

We are overreacting, this is just a preseason which weak teams gets better and good teams getting weaker.
This isn't a regular season where the real business starts for them, so just enjoy the game and never too confident with your bet as its hard to cap in this kind of season in the NBA, don't worry this will end soon and we shall witness the real action.

Don't look at the final score.

Lakers already sat down LBJ and AD and their other starters in the third quarter and never returned again on the game. The score isn't that gap when they left. What more if they push it but not necessary.

Unfortunate for Irving though. I hope he's fine.

Lebron and AD both played an average of 20 minutes, that's a low playing time compared to the playoffs as these two is expected to play 30 minutes or more depending on the need. It's enough that they've given such enjoyment to the fans but they can give more once the regular season finally starts.
If you guys are so excited about it, I feel the same so lets just enjoy the preseason as its entirely different compared to the regular season.

The Laker's only let the fans see the glimpse of LeBron and AD together inside the court, if you see how they've played with Rondo, Green and Howard. I don't think Brooklyn have a chance to win against them if this is not a preseason. The chemistry of Lakers showed how powerful they are going to coming this season.

Also hoping that is only mild and not a serious injury for Kyrie. This team needs him to lead while KD is not around yet.

[jakelyson]

LOL, it should be scary if they will face Leonard as both of these 2 teams loses against the Raptors which is a weaker team compared to the team he is playing with now. If that's the case, let's already assume that Leonard will again win the Finals MVP and he will win 3 championships in 3 different team.

Let us not get ahead of ourselves. Let us see the regular season first. The way I see it, the teams are more balanced this year. And there are teams in the west that are great contenders for Western Conference Finals. We've seen last season that even heavy favorites can lose if circumstances do not go their favor. Like GSW losing because of injuries and sixers losing to a lucky bounce.

Take it easy guys, those two are just showing off and there's nothing to be alarm for Lakers fans. They just trying to get a feel on the hard court and I'm sure they just enjoying every bit of it. Yes 20 minutes is way below their average on regular and play-off game.

Indication that they can blend and look at the chemistry of their team mates as well.

The main reason why there is a preseason is:
1. To serve as a warmup to players in the league.
2. To give spotlight to new players and also to bench players since they need to showcase some of their skills to hype the crowd. This is why people are getting the idea on how the rookie could play the real basketball game.

But their minutes would be different in the real basketball game which is the regular season.
Preseason is more like an exhibition game and star players on any team will be given limited minutes to prevent from injury.

Look at Irving, he just played less than 2 minutes and yet he got injured.

That's bad, Irving is really fragile, so he needs to be very careful next time now that it's only him is being given a big responsibility to lift the nets.
There is no definite update yet on his injury, he is listed "day to day" in https://www.rotoworld.com/basketball/nba/injury-report

Stephen Curry showing his young team how it's done - 40 points in 25 minutes against the T-wolves.

Borrowing a line from another team, it's just preseason but consider this a warning

it's not a warning because Curry is already known a scorer and we know without Durant and Thompson he needs to make more effort to deliver the scoring.
The final score is 123-143, Warriors winning with 20 points, and that was an easy cover of the -3 line for the Warriors.

Curry was still deadly in the 3 point line, tonight he has 6-8 shooting and it looks so easy for him.

You can also see that warning statement as "even if we no longer have KD and Klay is still injured, we can still kick your ass beat you"

Yes, that was a great performance from the former MVP and the time it took him makes it even more impressive.

That's correct but we cannot be too confident since this is just a preseason game, making it a basis to determine the future of GSW this season is not accurate for me as in regular season is a different game anymore, its the normal game and when curry makes that performance again, I'm afraid the defense will be focus on him and as curry gets 2 defender, his production will reduce.

While other players don't consider showcasing their talents during the preseason, well don't think about this with Curry.

This guy is a beast ever since.

This is what happens when Steph becomes selfish.
Now we can see that he really gave way to KD from season until the playoffs and so as he reach his target of being the Finals MVP.
Steph can do it. He is just so good with his team mates that he could step back to give them the path to success.
He is already successful so why not.
But now, he is back. We might see another addition to his trophy case. 

While other players don't consider showcasing their talents during the preseason, well don't think about this with Curry.

This guy is a beast ever since.

He is already making people shake their knees even if it is still the preseason.
It will give a lot of impact when the league starts officially.

I'm excited to see how he and the team will perform even without KD. This is new to most but I still think that they are one of the hardest teams to beat in the league.

Their consistency tells it.

[Oasisman]

All right NBA fans! Here's another scary news for both LA teams.



He's a good fit for both LA teams, and his addition will be a huge factor for them.
PG and Leonard are both SF, I dont think he can play for the starting line up with the Clippers. While on the other hand, he can be a good back sf for Lebron for the Lakers, and could possibly play in the starting line up.

What do you think guys? Any opinion about this speculations?

Andre had said before that he will play on a championship contender team, that maybe the reason he did not report to Memphis.

I agree with you that he is a good fit to the Lakers but is the Laker's salary cap would still allow him to the team?

People were making a very big deal about the Lakers win over the Warriors but they seem to think that it's not a really big deal that the Brooklyn Nets pulled one over the Lakers. I am very sure that had Kyrie not been injured, they might have gone on to win by a far larger margin.
