2024 NBA Season

[Reid]

Of course, when something bad happens outside they will all feel like its not working.
That, I disagree. It's working but not that fast. Some of those racists before may have changed the way they look at things now.

Honestly I don't think that racists change their view so quickly..

Problems there are too deep to be solved by players cancelling the professional leagues, issues simply won't be solved in a few months with players tweeting and talking about it in the social media. They didn't start overnight, and it won't be solved overnight. As i said, they might as well stop all sports for a few years until situation gets better, but I am glad to hear that rean prevail and season will continue, and if Clippers&Lakers don't want to finish, let them be.

I was a bit worried when Lebron and the Clippers does not support to continue the season, good thing I don't listen a lot to the hype of the media and now we hear some good news. So this is really it? can we see games tomorrow?

Gotta look for a better news outlet.  
A lot of fake news and hypes out there.
They will create anything for scoop, views or just attention. Social media is such a strong platform right now.

I still don't see any open bets for NBA. So I guess we just need to wait.
I saw google post schedules but there is still no accurate time. All are at 12:00 tomorrow.

I stand pro their movement of NBA players to delay the play offs until that problem is solved and to be honest I'm glad NHL followed and they delayed the games too. However, I do hope I will see some NBA in weekend as the last games were phenomenal to watch , especially Luka Doncic with that 3 points clutch.

Anyway, since the decision to resume the NBA game, does the bucks and orlando had started already? It was supposed to be these team match before the postpone?

Orlando vs Bucks will play tomorrow based on schedule, I don't see the word "postponed", so we can assume that finally the game 5 will be played and Orlando can rest if they lose against the Bucks in this game. 

Games will resume tomorrow after the 2 days of not playing the games as per report.

Well, I know how the players are feeling at that time especially those who are at risk right now. We know how huge NBA is and I hope that these shooting incidents of these black people will be stopped at one moment or at least now after the recent incident that happened.

Bettors will be happy again though that the games will resume

What team will play tomorrow? I'm excited to see the game of Lakers vs Blazers but there is still no final date when the game will return. I'm gonna beat in lakers and the standing will 4-1 for sure. But I'm a bit concerned on Liliards health because he need to leave the bubble to have better examination on his right knee sprain. They did great in the series but their power is not enough. I also respect the decision of Lebron and some NBA players towards what happen on shooting incidents. They have the right to not play in a game because it is a sign of protest and respect.

It will be the same games that were postponed.
Yeah, Lakers vs Blazers will be on that list.
Including Orlando vs Bucks and Rockets vs Thunder.

Yeah, suddenly I might change my mind with my parlay.
Lots of emotions going on. I might also consider that to affect their games.

[Emitdama]

It looks like all games would resume where they left off from today on forward. Which means games that was postponed first day will be today and games that should have played yesterday will be tomorrow and from then out it would be all like that, just continue without disruption.

I would say it wasn't really that much of a big deal considering they just didn't play for 2 days. I can't say that an NBA strike was a good idea or not, I thought it was a great idea, but I can say that doing it for only 2 days wasn't really a huge deal, if they cancelled the whole season and you suddenly see all the players at bubble suddenly turn up in protests all over the country, leading people in these protests, I would say that it would have made a lot more contribution. Let's see, maybe they will have something special planned when they come back, something extra, that would actually make a lot of sense.

[rdbase]

All games in the NBA are postponed due to the players boycotting from all the distress caused in Wisconsin.
When I first heard about this I thought it was just the Bucks players doing this since Milwaukee is in this state of the US.
But it now seems all games today are being suspended until further notice.

Did a quick search about it and came up with this so it might affect the Raptors playoffs too since it is reported from the toronto star?
https://www.thestar.com/news/world/us/2020/08/26/bucks-players-dont-take-the-court-for-nba-playoff-game.html

What an unfortunate news, I read the article you shared and find out this again part of their crusade about "Black Lives Matter".
Respect to the players and the NBA for protesting social injustice, now, I think we have to patiently wait until the NBA resume, hope it won't last for days.

They say they will continue the games either today or tomorrow being Saturday.
I was watching a sports channel update on it and one of the announcers mentioned the NBA are losing a billion a day in revenue by them not playing in the playoffs.
So the players will bargain and pay the league 2 billion for missing just two days?
I don't think so, they they want to get paid too. Because it all comes down to satisfying the advertisers and the playoff vibe they have every year that pays them to be in the position they are in now.
If they don't play then the league might as well fold because they are losing money everyday they don't play.

Lots of talk about canceling the season now. LeBron storming out of a meeting while the Lakers & Clippers both agree to cancel the season is bad news. I understand not wanting to continue providing an unappreciative community with your craft, but as a fan I’m extremely disappointed. They feel ownership isn’t doing enough to address problems in the community though and perhaps think that withholding their contribution to society is their only recourse.

Before, I thought that it's just for this day's game but it's crazy to think that the petition wants it for the whole season, that's just nuts.

From the updates that I've read, there will be a voting system and so far the majority wants to play. It is unofficial but I'm looking closely to the news.

Yeah! Apparently, it was these two LA team (Lakers and Clippers) who was against the idea of finishing the playoffs. Read more here. Dunno what differences they would make from cancelling the whole game into this issue except from voicing out again  . And it seems it will last even longer because almost all of them are in favor of this boycott stuff.

There is the difference that they can make from doing that and as you can see it has moved a lot of games and feelings of the NBA fans and even the management.

It's official, games are postponed today, we will see if games would really resume on Saturday.

By the way, we have some good news for the Rockets fans, Russ is coming back in game 5, they need him to win this important game.

Russell Westbrook expected to return to Rockets lineup for Game 5

Moving back to game side, that's rally nice having WB back, additional offensive gun for Houston, game 5 is indeed important to
them as OKC already tied it up and making good blends of players inside. CP3 is doing what he's good with, plus all those role players
are contributing and doing their best to really compete and make it difficult for the Rockets.

Yes. Game schedules are on their website and are now updated with time.

Alright, it's now time to forget what happened and move forward to the upcoming games.

Of course they have the difference, it means they are voicing out to inform they are looking. They are NBA stars and they are informing everyone that they are not turning blind eye with all the happening. They are informing everyone that they are not just athletes but citizens too. Black people demanding for change and fairness.

Its more than just sports. If they are cancelling for the whole season maybe they are that disappointed with the happenings. It means the killings are just immeasurable for them to continue. And if you are more frustrated with the whole season getting cancelled than the killings and the message they want to be heard. I don't know what to say anymore. I wanted the season to continue too, but I prioritize their message to be heard.

And it doesn't deserve to be forgotten, it deserves to be remembered.

Bad news for the Dallas Mavericks.


Kristaps Porzingis out for remainder of Mavs-Clippers series due to right knee injury


and for the Blazers

Lillard Out for Game 5 with Right Knee Injury

Looks like the series will end soon and Lakers and Clippers will advance in the 2nd round facing their respective opponents.

What do you guys think of this,  Dallas did won 1 game without KP but can they extend the series to game 7?

About Blazers, I don't want to ask questions as I believe series is already over now.

[rdbase]

^^
After Dallas getting thrashed 154-111 I dont see them coming back from this embarrassment in their last game versus the Clippers. And with Paul George not even having a stellar night this Los Angeles team managed to just destroy them by more than 40 points. IN a playoffs game this goes to show you they dont have anymore fight in them.
With Lillard out for game 5 the portland trailblazers are done and dusted against a healthy and very strong Lakers side.
I watched both games right before the postponement of games starting happening and saw where both these teams mindset were and can't see that changing for these games commencing tonight.

[btc_angela]

About Blazers, I don't want to ask questions as I believe series is already over now.

They are in a must win situation, and without Dame I doubt that they can upset the Lakers, so yeah it could be season over for them. And even if they got the win without Lilliard it is going to be a uphill climb for them. And for sure Lakers will want to win to have a good rest waiting for their next opponent.

[rhomelmabini]

What do you guys think of this,  Dallas did won 1 game without KP but can they extend the series to game 7?

They can but I think that will be the same as in Game 4 without KP on them, they win but that was too tight for them over that win. Luka is a great player an can carry a team there's always a possibility they can.

About Blazers, I don't want to ask questions as I believe series is already over now.

LeBron has never been defeated on a playoffs first round and I think that will still continue on it's streak.

After three days off, the 2020 NBA playoffs resume Saturday when the Milwaukee Bucks face the Orlando Magic.
Where does everything stand in the league now? And what's the latest on what will come next - both for this season and beyond?

It is sad that KP will not play at all, I was hoping eventually KP would return and make the series a bit more competitive, the fact that he will not be playing with the team this year as a whole just unofficially gave the clippers the series already. Don't get me wrong even with him Clippers were the better team but when Doncic plays like a superstar he is and when PG13 just plays badly during playoffs, KP could make the difference between win or lose, even if not fully guaranteed, it is at least a possibility.

Now even with PG13 not playing well, Clippers is better than Mavs without KP, there was one game that was outlier but that happened only when PG played horribly and doncic played this awesome record breaking game from a sophomore. Lets see where this series will go but I think they will end it as soon as possible.

Agree on both games.  Clippers led by Kawhi wasnt going to lose to luka.  Shame kp got hurt but even with him I think the clips are too powerful to have the mavs knock them off.

And as far as the lakers, there was never any real question if portland was going to knock them off.  Even with dame getting 40-50 points it still wouldn't matter, he can't carry the team by himself.  Lebron will move on as always

Well, the match between Bucks and Magic is done.

Very well done by Bucks.
