2024 NBA Season

[Oasisman]

Looks like the Lakers got their 3rd straight win with Memphis, Do you think they are already synchronizing to each other when they play on the court now? It seems like everything was going well for them this season. just look at the score.

Some NBA fans say the Lakers roster before was better, which I automatically didn't agree. Though they started slow by lossing against their rival city Clippers, but I don't think that does define how the Lakers would play this season.
Infact, the Lakers looks really scary this season. They have a good starter, and have almost equally good bench players.
Harrel and Schröder acquisition is enough to say the Lakers has a huge shot on back to back championship.

They have a lot of good addition this season, as we can see, they are rotating their players very well, and that makes them very productive. Mark Gasol played 23:40 minutes, and Harrell 20;00 minutes. Also, don't forget they got Wesley Matthews which is a good shooter, he was 4-6 from beyond the arc in this win.

Curry got a new career high with 62 points and it helped to win against  the Blazers who dominated them in their previous game.
Wow!, Curry is really back, his shooting is very precise and when he has a hot hands, it keeps going and going and in this game, he was really unstoppable.

Did anyone bet on the Warriors after the previous match? It would be interesting to know what the initial odds were for their victory.
Anyway, Curry's performance looks great, but Green was more useful with 1 point (I'm kidding).

Green had 8 assists, that department is one of his strength, he is good at it and he is also a good defender, so he doesn't need to score to be effective in the court. I'm not sure what the odds for the ML but they were +4.5 AFAIR.

But this one is a good odds.

Just when everyone is bashing Curry and saying he can’t lead a team... Wow. He now has a higher career high than LeBron, Giannis, Harden, Kawhi and many others. What a perfect time for him to have a breakout game. Too bad Klay had to get injured. As others have shown though, great of him to immediately congratulate his brother. Great night for NBA basketball.

Yeah, we were wrong, Curry is the same Curry that brought the GSW to the NBA Finals and won. You see how fun they are playing, they have a good chemistry now and I can see the same old warriors who are moving the ball very well. Hopefully they'll be consistent all through the season, and prove the doubters wrong by getting a playoff spot.

What do you think are their chances?

I was also amazed by Steph Curry's big 62 Points career-high but leading a team can't be singled out in just one game.

But I'm concerned about Curry putting up big numbers like that. It really means that the Warriors will have a hard time throughout the season as Curry needs to double his loads on every game which is not his usual compared to Warriors when the time their good role players are still there.

His teammates should try to ride the hotness of Steph Curry on every game. In their recent match, some of the Warriors also did a good job. But unfortunately, Draymond Green just made 1 point throughout in 28 minutes of his playing time and playing with no defense. Maybe still adjusting after recovering from Covid-19.

The 62 point creates huge noise in all media outlets as well in social media networks and this is a big slap to the person who doubt his capabilities and curry proves that he's still the best shooter in the league.

I'm also worried about curry since seems like they don't have any other option in terms of scoring since wiggins is seasonal player and doesn't have an impact. The game is different when curry is setting in the bench that's why his teammates should step up since if they will make curry take all the loads he might get a serious injury.

^^ And they have the best sports doctor out there, so no doubt that it will help a lot during his rehab and recovery. However, there are athletes that didn't really recover despite in the advancement of sport medicine, maybe everyone react differently.

@yazher - I agree, the Warriors are really a different team now, so they really need a lot of help and hope that Klay will provide that again.

Yes, don't doubt that, NBA sports medicine is certainly one of the best in the world. But recovery does not depend only on doctors, other factors interfere, as each player has different recoveries.

What did you think of this game, Nets vs Wizards? Kyrie and Durant could have turned the tables on the last few moments, but it didn't work, could they improve in the future?

Brooklyn Nets played a home game against Washington Wizards last night. It was a so close game and the last minutes were really exciting. Wizards beat Nets 123-122. In both teams, there were 3 players who made double-double. On Nets side, Irving got 30 points, 10 assists and 5 rebounds. Durant got 28 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists. J. Allen got 14 points and 11 rebounds. On Wizards side, Beal got 27 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. Westbrook got 24 points, 10 assists and 5 rebounds. T. Bryant got 21 points and 14 rebounds.

[ingiltere]

I was surprised when I learn that LeBron and Harden's career high was only 61 points. Kudos to Curry for doing 62.
That's cause he's the only scoring option in Warriors now, no Durant, no Thompson. He can use ball all the time. His good field goal percentage made this score.
We might see more from him this season. There is no expectation for Warriors, no pressure for Curry.

Nets aren't consistent, yes it was a close game but it also makes nets suffer on their 2nd losing streak, after a good start, and we are seeing this? Fans are sure disappointed with this. Philadelphia 76ers is the most consistent team in the East so far, with only 1 loss and 5 wins, they top in the standing, while I'm a bit shocked that Milwaukee Bucks are setting in the 8 spot which we normally see in the top 1.

Definitely they'll improve, Durant and Irving have a look and attempt to win but they didn't shoot the ball, that's normal in a game, at least they played a really competitive game which is very entertaining to watch, don't worry they are still in the playoff picture.

Hmmmm, thank you so much for this information @ILuckyGuyI.
I just watched part of the game and I missed some moves.

I hope the Nets can improve and have a better knowledge into the team and also, Wesbrook "fits well" in Washington Wizards!!

[chaser15]

It's just a 1 point game lost so I don't think that word "improve" should be used here for the Nets. It's just unfortunate that Irving and Durant missed some clutch shots.

Treat is another common game wherein even the considered underdog team can also win.

And it's entertaining as well as we want that intense on that game.

Yeah, it's just one game and a very close one, probably the breaks didn't go on their way. But definitely, Irving and Durant are playing high level basketball so I don't know if there are things that needed to be improve as Durant has comeback just like he didn't have that "career ending injury".

One thing though is that as early at this time, teams are really pushing very hard, they know that the the regular games have been reduced so they started to play hard so we might see a lot of close games.

Yeah right! consider this as an ordinary game where luck didn't backed them up.

Good game for WB as he showcase his capabilities to bring good blends with Beal and Hachimura, if they continue playing  like this there would be more games to win, the season still early it's just a good blends of players to play together and win each games.

[yazher]

The Philadelphia 76ers have been outstanding on their game today where they continue to maintain their record as the best team in the Eastern Conference or probably in the whole NBA this season. I think Dwight Howard's addition to the team was good enough to make them one of the best competitors in this season.

I wouldn't characterize 61 points career high as "only" as that's quite a lot actually.

All-time list of career high can be misleading. If you exclude Wilt Chamberlain and his crazy numbers as that was completely different era and on top of that he was by far most dominant player, and if you exclude last Kobe Bryant game when he scored 81 but that was more like an all star game than serious competitive game, there aren't many  games in which players scored more in modern times. Beside Booker scoring 70 and Jordan 69, all others scored maybe few more points in the last 30-40 years.

I do agree with the other part of the post, it is nice to see Curry back, and therefore Warriors. If Thompson didn't get injured yet again, they would be formidable force this season, but without him even playoff would be success and then whatever happens, happens.

[Reid]

Big win for the Warriors.
Are they back? Even without Klay?
Looks like they are forming great chemistry now.

I see the Draymond pick and roll with Steph and giving a lot of options with wide open 3 pointers.
23/43 in the three-point field. That's freaking 53 percent which is high.
41 assists. That just means the ball keeps on moving.
Now the question. Can they keep this up?
