2024 NBA Season

[Questat]

Still flawless, suns won again.. the streak is still alive as they continue to climbed, they beat the Sixers at a score of 130-117.

Booker led the team again with 35 points, this is insane, they'll make history in the bubble as this only happened once.  

Tied with the Blazers now, https://www.espn.com/nba/standings

if Blazers will lose, they might have better chance than the Blazers.

So.....

Spurs won

Grizzlies lost

Blazers-Mavs match still ongoing and it's a close one.

Nobody's getting eliminated yet. The battle for 8th turned out to be more intense than what I was expecting  

Update: Blazers won and they are now 8th. Liliard also 8th on  the 50 point all-time list

Blazers and spurs still fighting for the 8 place to get the into the play offs. Yes, it could be more interesting but when you will going to compare the players then pretty sure there could be some changes in the options. My bet to rank into 8th place between blazers, grizzlies, suns and spurs then pretty sure my chose will goes to blazers. I am a big fan of Carmelo Anthony with his talent and skills in playing basketball that he could carry the team. And there are other good players too in blazers too like Lillard and Brown.

Blazers with a close win, 134-131 and Dame was on fire, as he drops a 61 point performance and gets the last spot.

He and Wilt are the only two players with 60+ point games in the same season.

That was a monster performance from Damian Lillard to keep blazers playoffs hopes alive! 61 points! Great 3s, Flawfless free throws.... Not to under value his teammates efforts and performance, but he literally carried them today, imho

Crazy stuff! I still strongly believe it's going to be Blazers or Suns, I'd rather have the former, though but Suns are just super hot, the best team post covid19-break!

Liliard is too strong in the NBA bubble they beat the Mavs because of the consecutive 3 points of Liliard. He proved that he it is not just talk big because there is a recent issues in the IG where they are trashtalking with Paul George and Beverley. It is crazy to see that Liliard really improved during the quarantine period, you can also see that he has a mamba mentality and it is the reason why they win over the Mavs. I'd like to see Liliard to score 60 points again in his next game and for sure it will written in the history if that happen.

When I saw 61 pts for lillard, I had to do a double take and check to see if it was from doing a double overtime match or something.
But it was just during regular time which is insane in it's self for a freaking double in the bubble match.
Crazy just a crazy game with the Mavs is all it came down too.

Still flawless, suns won again.. the streak is still alive as they continue to climbed, they beat the Sixers at a score of 130-117.

I seriously thought this was the day the suns would finally go down. Had them on a parlay with the under and the celtics to win at 2.75x so would of been nice even with the suns to win with 4.56x odds combined but ah well.

The Suns are always like that they go down early in the first quarter. I was able to get their handicap down to -3.5 when they're down by 9.

I knew they'll come back hard next quarter since the Sixers have a lot of injured players plus Embiid wasn't playing.  

They might go down on their next/last match though as they play against the Mavs once again.

He will not win the MVP this season because of that, lol.

Giannis was supposed to be a good example for the fans, headbutting his opponent because he got heated is wrong, now, coaches knows his weakness, they will exploit him in the playoffs and I don't see any chance Bucks will advance in the finals, sorry, that's because of the headbutt.

Meanwhile, have you seen Lillard goating again? Damn that guy should get an award being an MVP in the bubble.

That way there might be a chance the Grizzlies will clinched that spot for the 8th seed if ONLY they can win the game with Bucks without Giannis.

Suns > Mavericks - Suns win with them but that was a tough one last 3rd of August
Spurs > Jazz - There still hope for Spurs but if someone wins from top I think they wouldn't get it, simply by percentage.
Blazers > Nets - Blazers are on a 2nd win streak but Nets was on its 3rd win streak. Talking about fire.

Friday is surely an exciting one to watch.

Just don't... don't back against the Suns as they are freaking hot.
But unfortunately, it looks like their effort will be wasted as the Blazers keeps wining also, Lillard is taking this team and he is playing in a different level.

I'm not sure right now, but I think I'll bet on them if they will face the Lakers, I'm looking for a big upset.

[wiss19]

I can't believe it, Grizzlies lost and the team with the highest chance to go to playoffs could actually miss it, however they are still within range to make it to playoffs and if not maybe the play-ins at least. Aside from that Suns, Blazers, Spurs all won as well, it is getting really silly that Suns are going 7-0 right now, I was waiting for some wins but they are literally unbeaten in the bubble, plus Blazers have been playing awesome as well, they are literally bringing Melo back to his good old days too, dude scored 26 points in a win, thats some good old Melo right there. I am not sure who will end up in the playoffs but after all of this work and hussle if the team that plays Lakers gets swept by them and just goes home without winning a single game, it would be very sad thing.

[Captain Corporate]

 Tomorrow will be the night, we are going to finally see who will get that 8th and 9th seed, now we know that 9th team will be within 4 games of the 8th team for sure, there is no way that it will not be like that, they are almost all equal in games to each other so it is %100 guaranteed already. So what we need to just learn is the last games, lets see who will do how. Honestly at this point I wouldn't be shocked at 4 wins from those 4 teams as well, or even 4 losses from those 4 teams, everything seems possible.

 As an avid Spurs fan it would be horrible to see our playoff streak ending, but that is a quite big possibility right now, I would say we could actually do some damage on the last game, but unfortunately we can't matchup with Lakers, we would be destroyed.

Such actions inside the court would really be always be bad looking and i didnt expect that one.Each of us do have different level of temper but he should at least control it when in game.

This really shows a bad image and good thing that he only being suspended for 1-game.It might not really be that a big violation but impression of fans will surely last forever.

Im not really that convinced that this one will affect in talks of MVP. 

[Vaculin]

If it will affect, it might affect a bit.

According to the article I read, it's more on the statistics, there's no attitude in the court being stated to evaluate a player's qualification to become an MVP.

Giannis just show that he is a human and it will not affect on everything since it all matter on stats produced by him.

Also those head butting incident will just fade away as season will run since it will just covered up by the plays.

This is not the first time a superstar got trouble as well suspended for some un wanted actions and its just 1 game suspension so I think Giannis will heat up on his next game.

[Ziskinberg]

That's correct, he is a human but hopefully he will learn from that mistake, he can't get involved into fight every time as that would affect the team.
Remember, he is the MVP in the league and in his team, if he can't focus, that would make their team loss and they will again failed just like the last playoffs.

That's not really serious like there's a brawl happens, a simple headbutt and other players does not even react on it.
It will pass, Giannis will be Giannis which has already improve this season, hopefully more matured.

[chaser15]

He will not win the MVP this season because of that, lol.

Attitude is not a factor when in terms of choosing Season MVP. Even how arrogant a player or doing trashtalks, stats will always be the key factor for being an MVP.

But I agree that Giannis' action should not be tolerated. A fine should do.

Recently, I noticed Giannis becoming a crybaby. He's been in always in heated and arguments play this season and not ended up being like that. I think the bubble does have an enigmatic aura that enters Giannis' mind lol.

True. This could affect and cost him the MVP race but let stats speak that for himself and the race. I'm a fanboy of his and very disappointed when I've get to see him did that.

So frustrating being a fan.
