2024 NBA Season

[Kong Hey Pakboy]

Thinking of what team to bet on?

I think we have the Clippers here that might beat the other LA team.

I was already thinking of Beverly's possible impressive performance in the coming playoffs, he is very healthy now and can be a good defender to star of any team, he can even defend Lebron James very well by just causing distraction of the King's focus.

BETTING ON THIS.

LA Clippers has a chance to beat the LA Lakers because Kawhi Lenard is now on their team, and Paul George and Patrick Beverly is also making their team to stand up with other teams. But Lakers and Clippers could also have a good match because lakers also have a good line up since Anthony Davis and Lebron James doing a great job helping their team out, even The King is having a trouble making offenses because of Beverly's good defenses.

Image broken.   I just use the link provided.
Edit: Oh! its fixed, thanks.

Yeah, that is how Beverley think and some players don't understand that.
He guards everyone at his highest level. They should be proud if someone is still doing that.
That means the NBA is still not soft.  

Do you think Doc will let him defend Lebron? It will be a difficult task but I bet it will also be so much joy  for Beverley.  
Can't wait to see that.

Clippers has a lot of players who can defend Lebron, if Beverly would not be effective then we have Leonard who can surely match Lebron James as we have already seen in the past the way he guard Lebron when the spurs beat the Heat and Leonard was named as the Finals MVP.

Also, let's not forget that we also have Paul George, or who else.... I'm sure there's a lot of the Pacers roster who are available and will be honored to do such challenging task.

These two teams are the best teams in the West, if they will meet in the WCF, then for sure it will be an exciting match up, but I would surely put my money with the Clippers as I trust Leonard to be a more consistent, more clutch player than Lebron, sorry not a hater, I just think Leonard excel over Lebron during playoff times.

Life inside the bubble with NBA players: Golf, fishing and shotgunning beers

Welcome to life inside the NBA bubble-like environment — an AAU-style basketball camp for millionaires. The best place to watch is on social media where players are giving behind-the-scenes access to what's happening.

There is more to it.
We just lose one of the best reporter in ESPN for NBA.
https://sports.yahoo.com/esp-ns-adrian-wojnarowski-apologizes-for-sending-profane-email-to-missouri-senator-184117968.html
He did something wrong. I don't know what happened to him. Is he drunk or something?
It's difficult when you are one of the popular guys and says something a normal person would only do.
I can say the same but it won't mean anything. But if you are Woj then its a big deal.

It's profit against principles.
Patriotism against money.
Houston Rockets will take a big hit in this collision.

Oh, another issue. I'm not really updated with these issues that's coming out. But this could be big deal although not going to affect the entire league.

This should be tackled and be answered as precise as how the commissioners will handle this issues, players
freedom to express will surely influenced the fans.

And that's what they're looking at and we will see how they will answer the letter. I haven't seen if there's an update or if there will be, I will post it again here.

It's not just that.
They can save their breaths by switching which will defend Lebron.
Exhaustion will not be an issue since a lot of them are defensive guys.
Hell yeah! Even PG can do it.

Oh, another issue. I'm not really updated with these issues that's coming out. But this could be big deal although not going to affect the entire league.

And perhaps more will come out.
The only sad part is Woj being suspended.
But as of now, we have some good news. Players are also voicing out to #FreeWoj.

Other players that could defend Lebron.

1-    Montrezl Harrell
2-    Marcus Morris Sr.

I think we can add them to the players which I previously mentioned, they would surely give Lebron a hard time.

THE BIG 5 LEBRON DEFENDERS

(forgive my editing skill)

[Pamadar]

LA Clippers has a chance to beat the LA Lakers because Kawhi Lenard is now on their team, and Paul George and Patrick Beverly is also making their team to stand up with other teams.

Both teams are capable to win over another, Clippers added fire powers with Kawhi and George who can outplay their opponents.

But Lakers and Clippers could also have a good match because lakers also have a good line up since Anthony Davis and Lebron James doing a great job helping their team out, even The King is having a trouble making offenses because of Beverly's good defenses.

That's gonna be a challenge for lebron since clippers have a combinations of offense and defense who can compete with the
lakers squad.

Both players are at the MVP level, they can both give offense to the team but don't forget we also have Lebron and Davis, and..... JR SMITH. lol...
Lebron could be defended based on the post above but for sure Davis would dominate in the inside.

I'm also concern on who will guard Davis or even neutralize him as him being a big man, he is very efficient with some great shooting and defensive skills.
Plus, Lakers has a lot of bigs like Howard (whom confirmed will play) and McGee, so their strength should be the inside.

JR SMITH. lol...

Don't joke on this man, he will redeem himself this season and he will be the HERO of the Lakers.

Yes Davis is one strong and good player inside that is hard to defend due to its height and size. This is a good combination on lakers where three pointers could shoot outside and rebound goes to big man to which not only davis could be the big guys in their team like howard. This is the play usually lakers would want to in time of Kobe being team up with Oneal. Their tandem from outside and  inside is really that good. This is why Kobe always go for shooting or scoring because there is one big guy always after the ball if it will going to miss. This is also where Kobe confidently and does not hesitate to shoot. For now Lebro has this kind of aid and lakers has higher chance to win the championship.

And dont forget the live streamers, and gamers. Like Joel Embed who brought his whole gaming set up inside the Orlando bubble. Also, Meyer Leonard's gaming set up was insane.
LeBron, AD, and Quinn Cook was also spotted playing in NBA 2k20 playpark in an Orlando bubble setup.

There are actually more than 2 good teams in the West that are worthy to be in the NBA finals. The Western Conference isn't only about the Lakers or the Clippers.
Nuggets, Jazz, Thunder,Rockets, and Mavs are all showing a good game so far this season, and these teams are all competitive. Infact, I will be expecting a 1st round playoff upset in both conference due to a lot of factor including the familiarity of the court and home crowd's absence.

One must deepen their basketball analysis in this current NBA setup, to come up with a higher percentage of winning.

Oh yeah! There was the Brother Morris too.  
I forgot about him.
But I will reserve Harrell for Davis, Mcgee, and Howard. Let him stay below the rim. He is one hell of a good defender down there.
If summarized, Clippers is one of the teams out there which have a larger percentage to win against the Lakers if ever they will face round 2 of the playoffs or the Finals.
 

[SirLancelot]

Let's be honest, if Lakers and Clippers ever face each other, Kawhi will defend Lebron, PG will defend Lebron, those are more than enough defensive players that could defend him and not need anyone else. If you put anyone else on him, dude will just beast on them easily without a doubt. That is why I think Clippers and Lakers will be difficult, because you can defend Lebron but there is still AD left to defend, that dude will destroy inside because Clippers is not a very well big man team. That is why I think the best thing to do for Clippers is to focus on defending the wings and guards and just let the inside be inside while focusing on scoring from outside themselves. If they can shoot well, they could definitely win, it is depending on a bit perimeter defense by Lakers as well.

I'm not that excited with their matchup for the playoffs or Finals but I'm more excited to the face-off match on the resume of the game this 31st of July.
Western Conference Finals is too early to tell but I think these two teams has the momentum to get there.

Bro you are talking like the Clipper only needs to defend Lebron in order to win a championship but the truth is there are other Lakers that can also be a scoring threat if they decided to shutdown Lebron since there is also Davis who can be a scoring threat for the team and I think we've all seen that Lebron has dropped down to a more supportive role rather than the main scoring option for the team. Yeah the Clippers might shut him down in terms of his scoring but the truth is Lebron's play style isn't really about scoring first right now but feeding the rest of the team with some of his good passes.

A bad news for Lakers fans out there.

Lakers guard Rajon Rondo out 6-8 weeks with fractured thumb.

Western Conference Finals is too early to tell but I think these two teams has the momentum to get there.

They were the heavy favorites, obviously. So people like to talk a lot about between the two. Either way, it is very early to tell now as you say so  , even teams who seemed to have a decent roster gets upset by a very least expected team you thought would be able to pull it off. Anyway, I am excited too - can't wait to see those players on court who have changed shape drastically. I mean, I'm very curious though.

And one more thing, these incoming remaining games would tell a lot about their fate in the playoffs. If they can still perform well just like the regular season they had after their long break, then they're going to be fine in a very tense round.

He still have time. He'll be able to get back before nba orlando bubble with few days of conditioning. He's fine though a bit late.

That's so sad to hear.

He'll probably miss some games before he gets back on the court. Too bad, all the upcoming games are crucial at some point. I hope not to see Harden choke again, when Westbrook is out for fee games, as it happen sometimes when playoffs is near.

Here goes the problem, other players will have to check themselves and be cautious to avoid physical contact with others. Each team management has to add more precaution to avoid uncaught infection of their players.
Godspeed to Russell.

I'm sure Westbrook can still play if he is allowed, this guy is super human, he might get tested but it should not affect him.

According to some article that has been posted recently, a player that will be infected with covid-19 will be out at least a minimum of 2 weeks, and of course it would not be easy to come back as training is necessary for a player to get back in shape, it's just bad for Westbrook but anyway at least this happened before the resumption of the season.
