2024 NBA Season

[Viscore]

Lakers starting strong in the 1st quarter outscoring the Kings, (44-22), THAT 22 points up in the first quarter alone.

Can the Kings come back in this game? Let's find out if they can, but I am confident Lakers would win by blowout to bounce back from a loss in LA.

The Lakers has been almost undefeated from a team under .500 and by far the best record for road games this season. So, if the Lakers will play against a low seeded team, the chance for them to cover the spread that the bookies will open is pretty high. But, when playing against above .500 teams, the chance for them to win or cover the spread is fair. That's what I noticed from the Lakers team so far this season.

That's why they lose against the Blazers, right?
Well, we really can't tell if that would continue to be the trend, that is only based on your observation, for how many games?
It's nice if we can find some stats on that and hopefully some members would share sites than we can check on different betting stats.

Great! Thank you for that.

Chances of them losing against under what you mentioned is really low.
That is why I had been losing my bets against them. 

I learned something though. That is why I already stopped betting against them anymore.
But whenever they are against Dallas or Nuggets, chances of my emotions being pulled is there.
So again, back to betting against the Lakers. 
I would keep this in mind though.

They'll win this game, Kings has no answer against them and they can't make a big rally, it's already in the 3rd quarter now yet the lead is still 20 points, if Lakers can hold on to that lead until the 4th quarter, then I believe 1 quarter is not going to be enough for a rally, maybe they'll cover but less likely.

The 3 point shots of the Lakers was superb and thanks to the 16 points 1st quarter game of BRADLEY.
They really got the touch in 3s in this game, KINGS had some answers from the deep 3 but not close enough to stay strong in that game.
I really admire how the KING makes those passes and sees those unguarded teammates.

The game ended up on the score of 124-104. 3 point shooting on this game do have some high accuracy and i do love rondos passing as always.

They do really look much more dedicated this time.A nice win for Lakers by the way and also Kings performance is commendable imho.

[RealMalatesta]

It was a weird game as Lakers basically destroyed kings, the difference of 16 points was all due to mainly game ending and garbage time was basically whole fourth quarter so the difference got closed to 16 points, there was bigger peaks in the game.

When Lakers actually play and have fun and be really a team, I don't see anyone stopping them, that was always like that for Lebron as well, when he has good players around him that play good enough with one more star beside him and a lot of entertainment between the players, he got super strong and destroyed all other teams, he just didn't liked playing when he was carrying cavs on the last 2 seasons tho. In any case this Lakers team will probably win the ring unless some big injury happens, I don't see any team that can beat them on a 7 game series.

I also noticed that good ball movements from the kings they've tried to catch-up in the 3rd period making those good rotations of the ball but since Lakers have a huge lead from the first half they've unable to get closer. At the other side, Lakers have good touch lots of 3's and a very well shared baskets.

Dude just look at this pass from LeBron James! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kt60TLMUHYM.

Could this be the best assist of his whole career? I like watching it over and over again(RIP replay button). I don't know what he did there if it was a mishandling on a dribble that's why he found a hard time passing the ball or is it just him doing a fancy pass for some fancy points? Man, this was crazy. Although that game he only made 15 but he did have the triple double on the sheet plus a W plus a fancy pass.

That's sick, but ohh boy, his been doing that in practice for sure.

Sure its not, there's a lot of no look assist from him which I think more difficult.

you'll see more of him if you continue to follow the Lakers this season, Lebron being the PG are averaging 10 asst per game if I am not mistaken, so at least you can see few of good assists every game.

It could be one of the best of his career, he could have learn it from the man himself - Rondo, who loves to make a lot of fake passes. I think he saw Avery at the last minute that's why he opted to pass the ball on him who started to wax hot. Good W for the Lakers and they are back.

[Viscore]

Good W for the Lakers and they are back.

They are certainly back making big statement on the the road.
Time to back them again, seems like the hearts are healing now and they are playing the normal game which they are dominating.

Meanwhile, games today are too early so I wasn't able to make bets on all the games on board.
As of now, all games are finished, and all Home team won.

You can see the difference with experience with what he did.
It was supposed to be for Davis but he saw that it might get stolen so he changed his mind in mid-air.  
That was really something else, one of his greatest highlights that we will be watching for a long time.

DLo for Wiggins?
What do you guys think about this?
Is that even an equal trade?

Something like the Steve Nash pass. The difference is Lebron faked it at passing into AD.
Who could do that in air? And AD really thought it is going to him.  Nice.

Still the best one for me is the no look pass here.

I was freaking watching it live and I was shocked and faked too.

Both offensive but I'll rather keep DLo than exchange it  to Wiggins, This young gun being paired to Splash bro definitely brings a good firepower outside. His not able to lift the team  but the story will be changed once The splash are already there to play with him.
Hoping for DLo to stay and be kept by the Warriors.

When Russel landed on GSW it was a good fit to them since he actually give a extra fire power to the them and they should keep them since he can contribute outside and inside but he need to work with his defense since he's been outpowered by other players in the court. Maybe they consider Wiggins but for sure it will not come since they know DLo is more valuable to keep and the one they really need is a true center which can held on their defensive side.

That's probably their weakness, unlike Durant who can really make some good defense and have a good rebounding skills and blocking skills as well.
When Both Curry and Thompson will again healthy and these 3 will play in the court, its' gonna be Curry and Him who will be attack by their opponent since they do lack some defense.

Maybe they consider Wiggins but for sure it will not come since they know DLo is more valuable to keep and the one they really need is a true center which can held on their defensive side.

For me, I would choose Wiggins over DLO due to the fact that Wiggins plays good defense and he is also a legit scorer if given an opportunity.

He will be a good fit with the Warriors as he can attack in the paint and that will lead an open shots opportunity for the gunners like Curry and Thompson.
IMO, he was effective with the wolves but he needs to take his talent to a team that is a championship contender, so let's see if this could possibly be realize.

Agree to that, they need good center to provide interior defense and offense. Once splash bro start to play DLo only needs to find his good spot while Curry's carrying the ball and calling for their play. If they able to get a good center which fits to their system a center who can run, I guess CAT is a good option for them to acquire.

I'd say I have the same thought after reading this.
When we talking about offense, GSW already have that.
They are just both injured.
But when it comes to defense, all I can think about is Draymond and Klay.
I think we all remember the last time when they fought against the Rockets. They keep on switching Klay over Curry when he is being forced to defend Harden.
He cannot do anything about it.
Now, if there is a chance to get a player with both skills then it will be a win for the GSW side since they really need someone who can play at both end.

[mirakal]

This season is the best season for Wiggins as his stats had improve. https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/w/wiggian01.html
He average 22 points so far compared to Russell's 23.8 points. https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/r/russeda01.html

There's not much big difference but in terms of impact to the team now, Russell got the advantage since he is the main focal point of offense.

Looking at the stats I will also go for DLo.
Consistency? Yes, I am still with DLo now.
If we talk about before then I might really pick Andrew Wiggins against him.

GSW though is still in lack of something else.
A strong center maybe or another forward to lessen the workload of Draymond. He is getting punished so much down the rim which could lead to a lot of injuries. Better have some back up there.
