2024 NBA Season

[Oasisman]

Golden State Warriors will play against Phoenix Suns in another harf game for the Warriors, the Suns do well this season they even beat the Clippers with Khawi and Williams and they lost their last game against Utah Jazz with 1 point difference, I expect that Phoenix Suns will win this game. I will bet for them to win.

Now that the warriors have already find the way to win, I won't bet against them until they loss another game.
Warriors did not have their first home win yet, so they might have it tonight and -5 is not hard to cover especially if they again explode in the game.
I'm expecting another triple double from Draymond Green if they win this game.

Well I don't think it works that way anymore in the NBA. It's not the GSW with Klay and KD wherein they can win 10 straight games once they're in the groove. And as you've said, even the Clippers, heavily favored as they are, lost to the Suns. The teams at the upper to middle standing are pretty well balanced. The Lakers seem to be picking up pace with AD rampaging but I don't think they're capable of steamrolling through the playoffs.

2 things that are more likely to happen :

1. GSW wont make it to the playoffs
2. Both LA teams in the WCF.

Although, the Lakers may not steamroll their way to the playoffs like what the GSW did before who almost sweep every opponent in the playoffs , but It's almost a guarantee for them (Lakers) to make it to the NBA finals. Kuzma isn't playing yet but he's close to returning. Lebron playing the point guard position is a -1 against the defensive end for the opponent.

Celtics won to Bucks with an ending score of 116-105.

What a double-double game for G. Hayward and G. Antetokounmpo. This is what Celtics is looking for a healty Hayward. He's much better right now and got nearly back all of his confidence.

The shift between in the 1st half and the 2nd half was insane. This is what a Brad Stevens coaching style and 5 of Celtics players scored double digits.

Hayward needed to step up and help kemba to rebuild the conference chances of Celtics, after Alford and Irving left this team expectations that it will also lessen the interest of the fans but with how things ends up today, it's another way to speak without using any word of mouth. Hayward Tatum and Walker with their lineup behind still have the chance to reach the conference finals.

Someone raised the possibility that S. Kerr could still be experimenting on his team's line up/rotation. He may come up with a strong one after maybe ten games. Let's reassess again later.


HIgh scoring game between Rockets (159) and Wizards (158) with Harden coming up big (59 points). I haven't watched the game yet but I can only assume some great offense and lousy defense from both teams.

Hayward really showed up today and I hope the consistency of his playing remains. M. Smart as well was literally huge in every aspect, K. Walker did a great job to sealed the game, and what a props and overall game for J. Tatum

Look at the Warriors, we thought they are back after they won convincingly on the road, but back home, they loss by double digit to the Suns and still they did not tally one win from home, hopefully the fans will not be disappointed with this team.

This game, curry was not shooting his usual numbers, he only scored 9 points while D Green had 4 points, I think there's something wrong with their system.

Phoenix Suns beat the Clippers as well, I think they are a legit contender now.

Yeah, very uncanny for Curry to shot very poorly at home, they are very inconsistent to say the least, I think their system is not working as design so back to the drawing boards again for Kerr and see what went wrong.

Of course, I will never forget that, and that was a Clippers with Leonard playing, but I actually don't think that was a big deal since they are playing at home and the home court advantage is a big factor in NBA.

I am watching the highlights right now and I saw how great the offense of the Suns, they are not afraid to take shots and most of their shots are really going in. They had a very comfortable lead early on and that's enough to avoid losing this game from a big comeback in the warriors in the last quarter.

Easy win last night for Jazz vs Clippers, but is not a surprise as Kawhi decided to sit out this game due  load management. Conley finally decided to play, 29 pts last night, with standard good performances by Bogdanovic, Mitchell and Gobert. Jazz continues to be top defensive team, no team this season scored more than 96 against them.

This is what i meant when i said that  regular NBA season should be a bit shorter (5-8 games, not more) as we are 1 week into NBA and it seems that biggest stars already started with "load management". Schedule is simply too hectic and biggest starts are pacing themselves, risk of injury and ruining NBA season is too high,and i am not surprised that they are doing this, i would do the same if i am at their spot. But it sucks for the fans of the game.

It is just normal for Curry to have off nights. This night is one of them. Apparently, they still do not have a solid system that works for their new line up. It will take some time before Kerr figures this all out.

Phoenix Suns beat the Clippers as well, I think they are a legit contender now.

Well, it is too early to tell but they are starting strong. Let's hope they can keep this level of competitiveness throughout the season.

[vella85]

I said that the Suns would upset the Warriors tonight but as I said to play it safe it was best to take the Suns to cover the spread which they did easily. I can't believe that the Kings were the only team to screw up my parlay as I had them to win at the ML along with the Cavs to cover and Magic ML along with the Suns to cover. Oh well I made a nice profit on the Suns with my single bet.

A big lost for Golden State Warriors last night! After their lost against Phoenix Suns today Golden State announce That Stephen Curry has a broken left hand!! They will suffer more and more, it's really a bad beginning of a season, well a good news for the other teams.

he's playing with a broken left hand, he can't do anything, he just want to stay in game and help his teammates as much he can.

A blow out loss for the warriors this time against OKC. I think there is something wrong with how the warriors are playing. It seems that they don't have that championship grit that they have the previous season.

There are obviously many problems on the Warriors team at the moment. in these first two matches, the Warriors received a painful defeat. Game 1 they lost to the Clippers with a final score of 122-141, and today is worse. "The reality is that we fu***** suck right now," admitted Draymond Green after losing 28 points to the OKC today.

Did Draymond said in the past that they don't need Durant? lol.. look what happen to the team now.
That's a worst start for the Warriors, we are not expecting they will be a champ this season but either, we also don't expect that they will start pretty bad.

After watching this game I've thinking about the end of erea of Cleveland Cavaliers after the gone of LeBron James, Kyrie Irvings and other stars.. The same thing this season repeated with Golden State Warriors they will miss Kevin Durant a lot! As we see they are suffering a lot in their game, Curry try to play alone to make the difference but he can't do it alone, they will pay hard.

and now they lost Curry too. Stephen Curry suffered a broken bone in his left hand after falling and was crushed by Aron Baynes during today's match against the Phoenix Suns. This will be a hard season for the Warriors, especially after starting the season less efficiently. With this, only Draymond Green and D'Angelo Russell will remain as Dubs leaders while Curry and Klay are absent. Injuries are quite worrying at the point of Curry's career at the moment because they have missed several matches last season because of Sprained Ankle and Sprained MCL.

Splash Brothers are out,  now everything will be difficult for the whole dubs. The chance for the playoffs is slimming seeing how the team from the west improves it's a tough competition which will be left for Russell and Green lifting the whole franchise to still continue to trying to survive and at least makes it to the next round.

Sad to see Step being sideout as we knew how he loves playing and trying everything that he have to compete and give hope for the team.

Aww, so this is the main reason why Steph Curry has one of his lowest point performance early in this season. Although it is not his shooting hand, but definitely this will had a effect on his performance. Too bad to hear this happen to him, but I guess their chances of at least making it to the playoffs are getting slimmer by the day.

Haven't read the whole story though, just hoping that he can bounce back the soonest.

Celtics really has young and talented core. Even 2017-2018 season without Hayward, they give scare to LeBron's team with this line-up. I think this team will be more scarier as they approach for a playoff berth.

They built a working system, so regardless of who there players are, they will remain as a good team.
Irving left the Celtics was a good thing as they were able to share the ball pretty well, and that will help the younger players to show their full potential, also they have a lot of playoffs experience, so that will be added to their arsenal for a legit team or a playoff team.

[Reid]

Strong start for the Phoenix Suns. Defeating Clippers and GSW.
DBooker is really heated up joined by Saric which had been one of the good role player when he was at Milwaukee.
Then there is Baynes, Rubio and Oubre.
Both their lossesfrom Jazz and Nuggets are just 1 point lead.
They might get stronger as chemistry is building up.

If I still remember correctly, the Celtics has a good run against the Cavaliers in 2018 when Irving was injured, they even give some trouble to the Cavaliers which the series ends in 7 games, although they loss but they were given a lot of praises from the boxing community, so maybe that is the reason why the management realize that Celtics are better off with Kyrie.

Look at the Nets now, they also struggle, although Irving is scoring really well.

If the key players of the Phoenix Suns will remain healthy in this season, they might reach the playoffs.

Right, they already defeated the bigger team, Clippers and GSW. So don't sleep on Phoenix Suns now. Booker and Saric has already found their chemistry and the team are also contributing very well.

Maybe their basketball system is already working for their real players. Or perhaps each one of them have identify themselves in the system already. If they remain healthy and competitive throughout the gruesome 80 games, I'm sure they will be a contender in the playoffs and will give good team a run for their money.
