2024 NBA Season

[Questat]

Lakers is a good team, if this will be realized, his chance of getting a championship will be close to 70% as the Lakers are the favorites this season.

I like the Clippers more, they are not changing their roster now and they are improving as we can see. Lakers maybe felt that there are still lacking in the line up, so they are trying to get an all star player and a good 3 point shooting for the team.

Westbrook soon will be the leader of the team, Wizards will become an old OKC where westbrook getting triple double for stat padding. 

I also think about LA Clipers and LA Lakers gonna be close to the NBA finals, but don't forget the Nets guys, If we have a concentrate Kyrie Irving with a good Harden and Durant versions, I bet they will be into the finals for sure. By the other hand, pay attention on Utah Jazz, they are pushing hard and a very nice performance in the latest games.

Nets despite winning games but they are not so convincing, they have a weakness and that is their defense and rebounding.

Lakers and Clippers have already corrected their weakness, their line up seems to be a championship ready, so I'm backing on them than the Nets.

I loss my confidence on the Nets when they have a back to back loss against the Cavaliers, but I'm happy to see that they are already in the winning track, having a 3 win streak after the 2 heart breaking loses, I think they are really to come back and start a good run of win streak.

They have an easy game tonight, they are heavily favored in this game against the OKC, so I hope I will not be disappointed here.
I like to see a win, a very convincing win, not a win coming from another OT.

I think trying to blame Gasol isn't right.  Very clear from the video (not so much from the pictures) that the foul was committed by LeBron.  Multiple replays and professional officials confirmed that.  I'm a LeBron fan, but if this shit starts happening as he ages as a way to protect his legacy from posters of him being dunked on, he's no better than Grayson Allen.  LeBron needs to do better and I'm sure he will, but this play is indefensible from a moral standpoint. 

I agree.
Just because he is soon to be a HOF means he can do bad things like that to avoid humiliation.
Worse, he didn't even feel sorry about what he had done.
I have watch Lebron so many times that I always see him helping those he thought he might have hurt.
Not this time. Almost looked like there is hate building up.
He's near retirement and he doesn't want any stain on that jersey that will be lifted up.

Is it their first time to rank number 1 in the West? I have not seen them rank at number 1 last season. If that's so, then this Jazz is really a big deal, Gobert and Clarkson has improved a lot this season, and this team has been accurate with their 3 point shooting.

I have no idea.

But with such current standing should be recognized and they did it well for starting it on this conference.

The Lakers expressing a desire to trade for Bradley Beal to form a big 3 of their own. Analysts are saying it would be the best big 3 in nba history. While I think that’s a bit premature, it is fun to think about. The finals are going to be great this year.

It could happen. The Lakers has become interested to Bradley Beal since 2018 as the article also says. But they have landed a much bigger star Anthony Davis, but with a huge constellation in Brooklyn, I guess the Lakers management will make their own move as well. I've also heard Beal was interested in joining the Lakers before AD landed in LA.
We all know the Lakers franchise is really good at maintaining the quality of their team and the number of their championships they got speaks for it.

If the Lakers is really interested to this trade, this would involved Kuzma, Harell, Schröder, KCP, and THT any of these guys could be sent away.

The problem with getting beal is like what happens to nets because they want harden they lost the bench players which is very important to a team, especially if those bench players are not ordinary players but good backup players, in the situation of the lakers, giving up Kuzma Harrel, is a big blow to the team, Harrel is a good rebounder when in the clippers and also showing it in the lakers team, so the lakers should think about it twice.

Soon, Beal himself will demand a trade if there will be no changes on how the Wizards performed.

10 games with Beal scoring 40+ but still lose is a hell of a record.

Analysts are saying it would be the best big 3 in nba history.

Overrated if it's about "NBA HISTORY".

Should be one of the best but not the best.

It's sucks to be Bradley Beal. I hope they trade him to a good team.

Lakers is a good team, if this will be realized, his chance of getting a championship will be close to 70% as the Lakers are the favorites this season.

I like the Clippers more, they are not changing their roster now and they are improving as we can see. Lakers maybe felt that there are still lacking in the line up, so they are trying to get an all star player and a good 3 point shooting for the team.

Westbrook soon will be the leader of the team, Wizards will become an old OKC where westbrook getting triple double for stat padding. 

If so, Beal might be able to accomplished what every superstar wanted to add for their achievements.,

Winning a title is really important it's no longer  a matter of pride but the desire of getting a ring. A player wil ladjust and accept his new role in order to win. Beal's exprienced might adds up though still depends if he  will blend perfectly with how AD and LeBron play the game.

Miami Heat played a home game against LA Clippers last night. Heat were 2 points ahead at the end of the first half but Clippers managed to beat Heat 109-105. Heat have a 5-lose streak now. On Heat side, T. Herro made a double-double (19 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists). Adebayo also made a double-double (16 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists). On Clippers side, Ibaka made a double-double (10 points, 13 rebounds). N. Batum got 18 points, 6 rebounds.

No need to discussed as having a no.1 spot in the early period is not really recognizable. Maybe in mid-season.

Let's wait until mid-season to see who will be the top 1 on the West on that point. There are just a few games played in the first place.

What do you guys think about LeBron’s foul against Embid last night? Is Embid right to say if it was the other way around he would have been ejected? It was definitely a dangerous play and probably the first time I’ve seen LeBron do something that deserved an ejection. Seemed like he was ready to hurt Embid to avoid being put on a poster. You usually don’t see that sort of pettiness from LeBron.

It was also partly caused by Gasol. Embid was pushed from 2 directions, that is why he lost balance so bad to fall on his back as he did.  It was a flagrant foul. Not an ejection. 

If you read my post, I state that if it were the other way around Embid would have been ejected.  I also stated that LeBron deserved an ejection.  I didn't say he was ejected.

I think trying to blame Gasol isn't right.  Very clear from the video (not so much from the pictures) that the foul was committed by LeBron.  Multiple replays and professional officials confirmed that.  I'm a LeBron fan, but if this shit starts happening as he ages as a way to protect his legacy from posters of him being dunked on, he's no better than Grayson Allen.  LeBron needs to do better and I'm sure he will, but this play is indefensible from a moral standpoint. 

I did not blame Gasol for the faul. I said that Embid would not fall as dangerously as he did if push would be only made by Lebron.
Also if you read my post, I stated my opinion that LeBron did not deserve an ejection. I did not said he got an ejection or not, just what I would do as a referee.

Wanna say the same thing because it seems that people are already plotting out on whose gonna meet up the finals and become the champion.lol

We are still on the phase where each team are still trying out to sync up with other players in the team.Its just too early to tell something like that when it comes to

disadvantages and flaws that we are currently seeing. Mid-season would really be the best spot for such judgement or presumptions/views though.

Another loss for LA Lakers Griffin just firing up, on the threes and the Piston team had done a great job In really stopping the champion from their track, next match for LA Lakers will be the Celtics, and after their win on the Timberwolves, GS Warriors net match is a loss against The Sun's putting them on 9 lost now,

These two teams along with The Brooklyn Nets are the Teams that I am supporting but it is hard to make a pick on Lakers or Warriors right now, but it is good to gamble sometimes for bigger money if these two teams would not pull themselves together they will be left out on the standings.

[Maslate]

Another loss for LA Lakers Griffin just firing up, .....

Finally Griffin had a good game, This is his best game of the season, last 2 games, he only scored single digit. I hope he will continue playing like that, he needs to be consistent now as Pistons seems to be improving a lot.

[blue Snow]

Any prediction  who the winner of the games;

New Orleans Pelicans vs Houston Rockets
Chicago Bulls vs Portland Trail Blazers

I just bet on bulls and rockets at the moment, but I still have a chance to swap my betting if there is a good analyst.

How much did you bet for those games? For Trail Blazers, I'm impressed to see their stats that most of the teams that they've played with recently were always close to each other.
That's just what I've noticed but if I'll be you, I'll just be locked on those teams and wait for the match tomorrow.

The lakers are different when AD is not on the floor, Gasol presence inside is unnoticeable, he should be more aggressive inside, although we know he is a bit old I know he can still ball, Harrell does a decent job, pistons outside shooting are on the spot, the good game I thought lakers should win but, pistons does it harder this game.

Lakers would have maaaaybe enough pieces to increase the value of the trade for some other team in order to not allow Bradley Beal go for cheap, but thats about it. Lakers could give few picks, and maybe kuzma and few other role player level players and that's about it, definitely not worth bradley beal amount.

There are few trades, like giving Kuzma and KCP and Dennis at the same time and get Beal and some other low level player, plus a lot of picks whatever left from Lakers to wizards. However at the end of the day this is a last chance situation for wizards if they end up with this trade, they can definitely ask for a lot more from teams. I would say Lakers are putting their trade rumors out there so that they could offer something and tell wizards "hey if you do not get way too good, just come back to us and we can talk" but if wizards can get a lot better, they will go with that.

Just a bit satoshi, those all favorite team to be winner, usually I bet underdog team which has a chance to be lost and if won of course I will be got return hundred percent, next I choose Detroit Pistons, [Golden State Warriors vs Detroit Pistons] what do you think?

I would pick Golden State Warriors on that match. But that's just me and you can wait for others' opinions on why they think GSW or Pistons might win for that upcoming match.
But if you ask me, yeah, GSW.

It's Bojan Bogdanović's night.
7/11 in the 3 point field giving the Jazz an addition to their streak.
But I really appreciate their defense more. They are everywhere.
Even with the offensive power of the Mavs they shut down most of their roleplayers.
Then, there is the strategy of attacking KP to put him in foul trouble with just a half of the game that limped the offense of Mavs.

Will it be the Nuggets that will stop this streak next game?

It was really another great game by the Jazz, they beat the Mavericks twice in a row and this time with a bigger margin.
No Mitchell, no problem, they are playing with good chemistry and they are tough to beat as a team.

Will it be the Nuggets that will stop this streak next game?

If still no Mitchell, I will take chances here.
