2024 NBA Season

[rhomelmabini]

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

They are that of an "improved" team I suppose and yeah I do agree that every losses they get they'll improve so do these other teams, losses are part of the game, there just been some rooms of mistakes been caught by the Nets. Westbrook tend to lift a team but let's see if he could bring the Wizards to playoffs this year 2021 as it already missed 2 consecutive appearances.

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?

This dude broke the records of three pointers and then some like nobody has seen. Before Curry started to make three point shots something very common and can be done in huge volumes, Ray Allen was the person with the most threes in a year, and that was 269 threes in a season, you know what Curry has? 402, yes that's right, he not only took 269 and broke over 300, he broke over 400 at the same time. Even James Harden who is a big time three pointer now, couldn't get there, and this dude has 3 of the best three pointer seasons in the top 5, HALF of top 10 as well.

So, I think we have to give him the fact that he was and still is one of the best players in the league offensively, sure he may not be awesome on defense, but when it comes to scoring, there are rarely any players who can score like him, but also draw defense to him as well, he starts to get defended by half court, when gets closer he gets doubled or even triple teamed. That's talent.

I'm surprised with the Warriors performance, they were so dominant in the last two games.
Won by 31 points against the Kings, that was really impressive, and the better news is that they are already back in the playoff ranking spot.

I wish they'll continue to play this kind of basketball, this is their brand, they should be consistent with this.

Curry only made 30 points in this game, but it's alright as everyone was contributing.

Man I have to agree with the hate Curry had when he lost both Durant and Klay on their normal rotation. But yeah he needs to step up when all matters now. He's been the face of the franchise since Monta Ellis. Actually, this year will be a good year for Steph, he gets the chance to prove the doubters wrong, and is capable of carrying his team to secure a playoff spot. We'll just hope he stays healthy all throughout the 2021 season. Though the Western Conference are stacked with a great team, but securing a playoff spot would be a great accomplishment for the GSW.

Houston Rockets played a home game against Dallas Mavericks last night. Rockets got their first home loss this season (100-113). On Rockets side, Harden made a double-double (21 points and 10 assists). C. Wood got 23 points, 7 rebounds and E. Gordon got 20 points, 5 rebounds. On Mavericks side, Doncic was awesome and I think he was the player of the game surely. He made a triple-double (33 points, 16 rebounds and 11 assists). T. Hardaway got 30 points and 7 rebounds.

There are some news about potential Minnesota Timberwolves sale as longtime owner Glen Taylor is negotiating with buyers and estimate sale price was $1.5 Billion in November 2020.
Minnesota is now in very bad form, lost last four and now they play with Denver Nuggets.
This should be easy win for Denver Nuggets.

[wheelz1200]

Well the knicks are finally looking like a competent basketball organization.  My over 23 wins for the season is looking good so far.  They have won some great games along the way so far, 20 point win against Bucks, beat the hawks, and beat the pacers on the road.  Cant believe im saying this but they just might be a .500 ball club

Very sad to know for the team that the franchise is for sale. The owner is hoping for it to see a higher value soon. But if there will be someone to buy it, for sure it's another popular name that we know.

Maybe this team will improve under a new ownership, so it's okay to have a new owner as this might be a fresh start for them. This team has now tank based on what I see, KAT give some hope to this team but he needs more talents to help him, and it didn't happen.

What a performance displayed by Kyrie Irving just for the first quarter of the game "18 pts, 3 reb, 3 ast, 7/7 FG & 4/4 3P". Looks like the clutch Irving is back, do it Uncle Drew.

[yazher]

As expected Lakers took the win too with this one and manage to get their 3rd straight win. it was a tough battle since Memphis is not backing off either. the last quarter was intense both teams are getting score until the last minute and the Lakers took control though Lakers need to works on their offensive play since they are missing some open shots in this game. maybe just little miss communication from players but overall they've done a good job beating the Memphis to get their 3rd straight win.

Hopefully this is a good season for them, they have a good start, an improvement I should say but let's hope they'll show some consistency all throughout the season, this team has been a shitty team for so many season, maybe they'll be a complete changed team this season.

Agreed.  Finally a coach that is holding his team accountable.  He gets in everyone's face if they mess up, he doesn't play favorites.  These games have been the best defense I've seen the knicks play in 15 years.  Play defense and you always have a shot.  Mo way they can just out offense everyone.  Excited finally for their future.

Yeah, I witnessed that on live tv.  
Damn, those soft touches were still going in. It's like lady luck is beside him.
But the lead went too far that it became garbage time. Ended up just having 29 points and sits down the rest of the game.
LeVert and Allen made a lot of contributions to win.

No Durant and Dinwiddie and they are still that strong. It's scary.

Did you bet on Spurs and Bulls? You must be chillin right now if you did.

I thought Clippers will complete the comeback in the fourth quarter after a great performance in the third but the Spurs did well to keep their composure.
Bulls, on the other hand, fought hard after the first quarter. Very poor of Portland.

I did on the spurs but not in the bulls. Damn, I should have parlayed them, that should be a nice payout as they are both underdog.

Spurs are desperate of a win, and they got it successfully, they are lucky they have started with a good lead, games nowadays are really unpredictable.

I think jazz can't match nets yes Mitchell can pour the points but, if those other players will not add 10pts a game they are not going anywhere especially now that west is so loaded still, Rudy needs to add more points, Bojan needs to step up, if they will just let Mitchell do all the scoring then I think it will be an only one-man show.

The only bet I placed last night was for Lakers to beat Grizzlies and they did it by a few points. I'm not sure anyone had both Spurs and Bulls to win their games in a parlay. If anybody did, then it's a really good one. The odds were high considering both teams were considered underdogs before the game. Spurs really upped their game yesterday. I didn't think they had it in them to beat Clippers.

What a bad night for Jazz and I really think they have an advantage since Durant is out on the game but seems the Nets talents overpowered the Jazz rooster and imagine if Durant is on the court for sure its a over kill for Jazz.

Better luck next time for Jazz since I think they will get a revenge on Knicks.

That 3rd quarter run seems to be a real comeback but likewise Spurs manage to hold and fought back.

Spurs survive this game with really exciting fight against PG less clippers, imagine if he's there and help the team out to rally back
from the second half, though he's not and it's consider another game to move forward.

That's a championship contender and favorite team to watch this season I'll never doubt they can be a top team in the East this regular season maybe by coming months when there's lot of games already played. Brooklyn is just 2nd from Milwaukee in Points/Game with a team averaging 119ppg. Maybe if we see 20+ or 30+ games.
