2024 NBA Season

[rhomelmabini]

Am I crazy or did Lakers actually looked... great? I get that they lost the game, I get that everyone was expecting them to win but Clippers came out with tempted up emotions, since they lost the last game of last year, they have been attacked like crazy, plus Lakers won the ring, and also got Harrel as well so Clippers was on full force attack and aggressive defense so I get it. However for a starting them Lakers played like an opening night versus Clippers playing like it is the 7th game of NBA finals, and Lakers didn't even lose by that much.

However talking about how everyone knows what they have to do, the team finally looked like it really has a full team of people who know what they should do, instead of just focusing on talent. Drawing the roles very clearly make things a lot easier for the teams and Lakers really look like a well oiled machine if you ask me.

Well, I'm glad that Clippers won and PG is at it again with a splash. I think they (Lakers player) are great and it happen the last year but more likely they still got some lag from the past championship or maybe it's like an observation, who knows. Let's wait until they got around 10 and higher games, they still a beast if I'm asked and still the favorite.

This should be a fun year for the NBA.  Once again there are no absolute "super powers" in the league where it's already a forgone conclusion on who is going to win the championship before it even gets started.  I was impressed at how well the Brooklyn Nets played last night.  They certainly look like a force to recon with.  Makes me wonder who will be the top dog in the East between Giannis and Kevin Durant.

There are still favorite/s though and it's quite easy to see who they are.

Nets are set for a playoff run.

If we're to assume that none of them will not suffer a season ending injury, I am with Kevin Durant all day. To me. there's a huge difference in mindset between the two. One who has won it all would feel less pressure and more confident than someone who hasn't even reached the NBA Finals.

However, there's a good news here, it seems like Paul George is comfortable with the current coach. He lead the team with 33 points and with some accurate shooting at 13/18 and 5/8 in the 3 point line, if he plays like this kind of consistency, Clippers is a tough team to beat.

I hope so.
It's either they choke against Nuggets last playoffs or the coach is really that bad.
Now, he has the chance to prove that the problem is not with them.

How about Brooklyn Nets?
Damn. They are complete.
Offensively and defensively they are there. 2nd team is also doing well. They might become the new favorite by now.
This is going to be an awesome NBA.

Nets now have 20 point lead and they are much better than Warriors but it is sad to see there is no real crowd in Barclays Center.

Big win by the Nets, what a statement from them, Durant and Irving lead the team and I thought it was a close game but Nets have dominated them.

Final score : 99-125... Nets win by 26 points. Easy win.

Yeah, the Warriors were looking very weak in the first game against the Nets. I know it's only one game, but I guess that this season will be difficult for Curry if his teammates don't start helping him on the court.

It's part of their career as a professional inside the court.

There would always be misunderstanding and quarrels like this. But the past is past and we've heard it from KD that they've been ok and there's no bad emotions left for both of them.

As long as they're in good terms, that's the most important part that they had. We get to see KD play again later. Which team you're eyeing for this match?

I'm a fan of the Splash Bros TBH and Kevin Durant as well when he was playing for the Warriors  . Today's odds for the games between them is interesting as Klay Thompson won't play thus making the odds to bet for the Warriors @3.60 which for me is very attaractive and tempting considering that this is KD's first game and we don't know how we would jell with his team mates.

Bottom line, will bet for the underdog. 

That's a win for the Brooklyn Nets. A huge score different for most of the quarters except the 4th quarter where Warriors only got to lead by 2 points. Still a nice try for those who have bet with Warriors, can go on with another match from different teams.

Nets managed to win with 26 points difference, but Lakers lost from Clippers and it was probably because of first quarter that Lakers played very bad and lost with 20 points. Now there are 13 new matches and I like Toronto Raptors win against New Orleans Pelicans, but we should better watch out for first few rounds for some surprise results.

Yes, that's a huge score upper hand for Nets. First two games of both teams and it's exciting to watch how they'll be cool with their opening matches.

It's difficult, no Klay for the whole season because of injury.

Definitely it's difficult but the season is long, they will adjust in the long run, what I just hope is Curry to be fully healthy in the regular season and hopefully in the postseason if they are lucky to enter in the playoffs. Wiggins and Oubre Jr. just have to improve in their next game, both of them are shooting pretty awful in that game.

[Finestream]

I'm rooting for the Clippers to win this game, good luck.

Just as I thought, congratulations to the Clippers and congratulations to myself.

2021 NBA season has started with a really delightful game. LA Lakers played a home game against LA Clippers. It was a really tough game for both teams and I really enjoyed watching it. It was a really close game and LA Clippers managed to win 109-116 here. On LA Lakers side, Lebron James got 22 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Schroder was nearly making a triple-double if he got 2 more assists. On LA Clippers side, P. George and K. Leonard were really good. P. George got 33 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. K. Leonard got 26 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.

Lakers rallied but they still loss, I was not able to finish watching the game because I stop watching when Clippers led 20 points, when I tune back in, I saw Lakers having a rally but I was really expecting they'll win as they have a bad start.

Good game for the Clippers, PG was really the man here.

Common start up for Lakers and this was the same on past season where they do made up some loss but it wouldnt really be much of an issue yet adjustments would be made.
The game was in deed entertaining but i dont take up some serious insights since this is just starting but i cant deny that PG is in good shape and same goes with Kawhi.

The nets looked great last actually.  Was expecting some rust from Durant but he looked real good for his first game back from the injury.  Bulliah on Nets going forward.  They will hit bumps but if they play like that most of the season they will be a tough out.

Agree, they are a real competitor now, they made a big statement in their first game and I like that and just like everyone is hoping, I hope for no injury.
Durant is still the same old Durant and overtime he will be more dangerous as he will be more confident, and that I'm betting on the Nets to beat Lebron and AD.

[Inagame]

Charlotte Hornets vs Cleveland Cavaliers is starting soon and I like the odds for Hornets to win here and with players like Devonte Graham and P.J. Washington this should be easier, but Cavaliers will not gave up easy and there are some key injured players for them today Love and KPJ.
I think we are going to see close result score but Hornets to win for me.

One game is postponed for safety reasons Houston Rockets - Oklahoma City Thunder.

It feels like the previous season just ended. I think for the Lakers having such a quick turnaround will be challenging. The teams with longer layoffs will be anxious to get back to playing while the teams that made it to the playoffs wish they had gotten a longer break so they can recover. Having to always be training and playing without enough rest could take it's toll.

The Rockets don't have the required eight available players, league says.


The league made a mistake. There should be way less than 72 games in a season. Because of covid-19 many games will be postponed. This will be a long season again. They should also allow teams to hire more than just 15+2 players.

70 games, 60 games, 50 games or 20-man roster, 18-man roster, 15-man roster, etc. won't matter at all if there's always a postponement.

I don't think the league made a mistake. That was a good decision cutting the season from 82 games. It's just that there are unfortunate things really happen.

And if Rockets only have the required players, the game will proceed. Hopefully, no more (even impossible) or only a few Covid-19 related cases will happen in the future.

I agree, although they are the favourite against GSW, I thought that Durant will be rusty that's why I put a bet on GSW to at least pull some upset. But it seems that Durant didn't missed anything and so is Kyrie, so I think the odds might shift in favour of Nets chances of winning this years championship with that first game performance from Durant.

So it's scary I would say how the two will combine, perfectly healthy in the East.

I'm gonna see a good playoffs and NBA Finals this year, if Nets will reach in the NBA Finals, that would be a hell of a series. Now, I'm seeing the Clippers or the Lakers to advance in the NBA Finals, well, I'd love to see surprises as well so I want to be wrong.

[Yogee]

Big win for the Spurs against the Grizzlies. De Rozan starting off good aldridge Aldridge was able to contribute as well. I hope this team remains consistent throughout the season. The players owe it to their coach who is nearing his retirement days.

......

Who is watching Suns vs Mavs? i'm eager to see how Chris Paul will dictate the pace and control the game but there's no sign from him yet. It's Booker at the moment.
