2024 NBA Season

I thought the injury was serious.

Joel Embiid Nasty Knee Injury After Collision With Enes Kanter

Good thing he was able to come back and play, unfortunately they loss by a huge margin against the Lillard less Portland TrailBlazers.

What a disappointment.

Lilard / McCollum less blazers wins over Sixers.

What an impressive starless team, underdog really got something to dissappoint the favorite, too bad for those who use this game
for parlay, as the odd earlier for Sixers is just 1.18 good for building your parlay but the outcome is not good as Blazers snatch the
win.

Blazers trying to prove they are a good team and does not only rely on Lillard, I like what I saw they dominated the best team in the East. Nice work for this team for a balance scoring, 6 players had a double digit, and that is something to be happy about for the fans.

1.18  for Sixers, I wonder what's the odds for the Blazers,

They are at least +400 in major sportsbook, and that can be translated to x5 in decimal.

Nice value, right? If.. you see it coming.

Wow, what a game by Warriors last night as they demolished Mavs like no other team this year. I think Mavs had suffered the loss of the season so far as it was too much for me to watch it ( being fan Luka ) but at a certain point I was simply enjoying basketball and how the Warriors were shooting the 3 points ...amazing!

Also , huge victory for Portalnd against 76ers and Doc Rivers should be kinda worried now as they have tough times to defend players who are good from 3 points range. On the other hand,they barely shoot 3 points...

That was really unexpected when he hurt his knee but as you said thankfully he gets back to the game. The Big Dude was giving all his best because he might likely get that MVP award if he could continue doing such excellent skills. after he gets back to the court, he already scored 30+ but still didn't get enough in the second half to beat the Portland Trailblazers. I think he should give it a rest because getting such kind of opportunity is rare. There are lots of good players in the NBA but only a few got their names listed on the MVP award race.

Giving him a rest is a nice decision, they are already at the number 1 now, they are not chasing for a spot. The fact that he played after that bad landing, that means injury was not serious or there has been no injury that happened. Embiid should be healthy this season, this is their best chance as they are playing well under the new coach.

Mavs really was dominated in this game, after they broke their long losing streak, I thought they will start winning but this happen, they had the worst loss in the season I believe, but Dallas also have the biggest win this season by 51 points against the Clippers.

I have to say it is a shock to see Mavs so low in the standings, I am sure the changes in the roster did cost them a bit of change but they are not really playing as well as they used to from the players that was around last year. I mean even Luka is not playing as well as he used to, last year he was nearly at MVP level and this year he is like a promising rookie.

I guess it happens, it is less than 30 games so far which means nothing, I believe we should probably focus on having a bit more why it happened instead of what happened. This is the same team that took Clippers on playoffs and nearly beat them, they were really really good, and Luka managed to turn some games around all by himself, so we know the talent is there, they are just having a rough patch and I am sure they will fix it but in order to fix it, we need to first know what broke it to begin with.

Today I chose a couple of bets on favorites, since the day is quite hard and some matches are unpredictable:

Hornets - Jazz: My bet
Nets - Toronto: My bet
Suns - Pistons: My bet

Jazz are still leaders of the Western Conference and confidently win every match, yesterday's game by Gobert was at a high level. Suns got an opponent who can't get out of the last place, plus Suns should strengthen in 5-6 place today in order to feel confident in the ladder. Nets match will be quite interesting, as in the last match Vanvleet from Raptors scored 54 pts very confidently and thus set his carrier high. It’s a shame that yesterday’s bet on 76ers didn’t work. I originally thought Portland would win this match, but I didn’t think they could win even without Lillard. Anyway, I'm still in a good plus after yesterday. GL!

I think there is a good reason behind it.
They just lose their chemistry or time to train with each other.
Most of their players was hit by Covid-19 weeks ago and then some of them are still healing.
Because of that, they lack enough time to play with each other.

This is not the Mavs we use to see. Being defeated by huge deficit.
I hope they can come back from this. They are now 2nd to the bottom of WC.

Really disappointing, the 76sers stood a better... I guess it's a game and everyone has a chance to play for the win.

That game was really great on the 1st up to 3rd quarter but when the 4th quarter starts Kelly Oubre Jr. just got fired up and Scored 40 pts. on this game, and Draymond Green had 15 assist this game.

I was able to watch this game. My expectation when the game started is that this is gonna be an easy game for the Mavs and they're playing on their home court.

Oubre Jr. did really fired up at the last quarter. While for the Mavs, it's Porzingis that got 25 pts. Is Golden State Warriors back? the standing isn't that back at all.

Early to say but to compare on their past performance or season then i can say that this is a bit better and does really have again that kind of calibre that can really go toe to toe
with strong teams.Its just too early to conclude out since we are still on early season.Lets see if on how they would perform out from mid to ending part.

I was expecting for Mavs to have this game and yeah, that was really unexpectable for Oubre Jr. and i believe this one its career high.

Your expectations are the same as everyone else as the odds are against the Mavs -4 point spread, and the result was a very unexpected win from the GSW.
I haven't watched the game, but I guess the Warriors may have a chance for the playoffs as they are rebuilding with the young talents they have this season. But they have no chance in winning the championship this season without Klay. So, I should say, the GSW ain't back yet, they're still in a rebuilding process.

You can skip actually to the start of 4th quarter. Yeah, still don't have Klay but they're winning.

Both of you are right. They are becoming better and better for each games that are passing by. They may not be at the best position at this season because of Klay but they're doing their best to become the old GSW that we knew.

-4 at home is not that heavy favorites, you can expect either team to win, especially the Warriors who are doing good this season despite missing KT. Remember, Warriors also beat the Lakers at home, they beat the defending champion, so it's also possible to beat the Dallas Mavericks.

Mavs underestimated GSW, and as a result, they had huge problems with their offense and defense in the second half of the match. Also, I guess home or guest court doesn't have a strong impact on players because all teams play without fans this season.

How do we know that the Mavs underestimated the GSW?

The odds says Mavs was the favorites to win, but they are not the ones who set the odds, it's the oddsmaker who set that for the bettors, and this time, bookmakers was wrong, probably they are the one who underestimated the GSW, and bettors siding the GSW to win made them pay.

Christian Wood Cries After Breaks His Ankles&Taken Off Court In a Wheelchair !

Rockets' Christian Wood: Departs in wheelchair
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Wood (ankle) exited the arena Thursday in a wheelchair, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Wood was spotted holding crutches while exiting in a wheelchair, perhaps hinting toward the severity of the ankle injury that forced him out of Thursday's game against the Grizzlies. The Rockets haven't yet commented on Wood's injury, or his status for Saturday's contest against the Spurs, but at this point it certainly wouldn't be a surprise to see him miss time.

I hope he is fine, and he can come back soon, he played like an all star this season, he knows that a big opportunity is missed if he can't come back soon.

Kevin Durant just got pulled out of the Nets game for the health and safety protocol after playing the first half. Not a good sign for the players on the floor with him. This has a Rudy Gobert smell to it. We could be seeing these two teams unable to play for a couple weeks if Durant did indeed test positive.

I didn't want the game live but I was curious why his minutes was only limited when I saw the stats report after the game, and I read this news. Durant is probably infected with covid-19, and as a protocol, this team will have to be isolated and maybe other teams as well.

We will have to wait for further update but I think the scenario you point is likely to happen.

Yeah, I was just looking at it now.
He played 19 minutes only.
I was watching the Celtics vs Clippers game and didn't know what happened.
Looks like Covid-19 is hitting a lot of players in the bubble.
I wouldn't be shocked if suddenly they will just pause the season and try to have a mass testing first just to identify where it is coming from.

I hope it will not happen, pausing the season is like pausing the fun. They can postpone games like what they usually do when there's a covid-19 cases but to pause the season, I think that is too much. I believe the problem is still manageable .
