2024 NBA Season

[stadus]

I don't understand what it means about Frontcourt and the Backcourt of both conferences. Based on this site, Alex Caruso has a million votes in Backcourt of the Western Conference which is really surprising since he has more votes than other players that are also doing well in the season. He's not being talked about that much but this proves how great of a player he is if these votes are accurate.

Well, i can understand a little bit, but frontcourt players are considered to be the big players, example SF, PF and C. And backcourt are the smaller players, SG and PG.

I confess, Caruso had these millions of votes because he is very beloved to the fans and also because he is a "meme player", because sometimes someone makes fun of him or something like that.
Caruso has improved a lot lately, and I believe he can improve even more.

Here's the definition of front court players and back court players so you will not be confuse.

Frontcourt Positions
The small forward, power forward and center are collectively designated as a basketball team’s frontcourt. Typically, these players play near the baseline, which is the out-of-bounds line under each basket. On offense, these players constantly move from one side of the key to the other in an attempt to free themselves to take an open shot. When used in relation to these players, the term frontcourt usually refers to their offensive responsibilities, but also carries implications to the players they defend.

Backcourt Positions
A point guard and shooting guard are collectively referred to as a basketball team’s backcourt and are commonly the players that advance the ball into the side of the court on which their team is attempting to score. The shooting guard is typically responsible for scoring the most points between the two guards, while the point guard is expected to create plays by passing the ball to open players, such as the forwards and center. Usually, these responsibilities vary based upon the type of defense the opposing team uses and on the strengths and weaknesses of particular opposing players.

This means rose need's to adjust again, for another team, rose to do great job pistons, maybe the pistons are decided to move on and put a younger player in his position instead, besides rose is not getting any younger, the trade will make rose more comfortable since he is with his old coach, let's see how things go, for rose just hoping him to be always healthy, although I miss his former self, wish him all the good for the guy's season.

He is going to the New York Knicks? I think if he gets some good games on that team and managed to get a couple of wins, We will see him play in the playoffs again since the New York Knicks has some good players on them this year. I hope to see sim play again like he used to be, he just needs to get some good teammates and everything will go well with their team.

He hasn't been in the playoffs for awhile now, Rose has played in different teams after he left the Bulls but the teams he was playing with are not a playoff team. NYK is not a playoff team as well, but they are playing great this season and they might have a chance to be in the playoffs.

Time for Rose to show his skills, he may not be the old Rose but I know he can still hep the team to win, I hope he'll stay healthy.

Derrick Rose back with the Knicks, he and Thibs will be working together after Chicago, Minnesota and now in NY.

We can call it a good news for Derrick Rose and the Knicks, if they will get into the playoffs this season, Derrick Rose can help with his experience and hopefully he can really contribute to the team. Coach Tom Thibodeau knows how the handle Rose as he work with him in different teams, now here they reunite again, I'm glad coach still believe in him, so let's get it on.

I read up clipper on the list either, they still interesting to bring Derrick to staples center. I still remember how he got 50 point when playing versus jazz while still in Timberwolves.

Sadly he merely a shadow of himself since the injury. Still pretty explosive with his footwork and drive to the basket but the league have become a lot more athletic on average, than the time Rose was the MVP.

Rose was the best, he made history, he was the ROY and the MVP and he was only 21 years old that time if I'm not wrong. That's so special, even the legend admire him and was amaze by the way he play, unfortunately a serious injury ended that, and although he is not anymore on his prime but people are still happy seeing him in the league.

That's correct, it was his first season and yet he already won an MVP, and of course ROY is automatic since MVP is the highest achievement. If only Rose was not injured,  Bulls will still be a championship contender until now, but let's accept the reality that we cannot get back in the past.

Rose stats now is not as good during is MVP year but he can still play and his stats are decent for a player that does not earn a starting line up.
TBH, I'm not following his game anymore since I usually watch a playoff teams playing, but looking at his stats, we can tell there's still left in his tank.

[DIA7]

Why trading for Derrick Rose and they sent a a second round pick as well. Quickley's development is goingto be a concern. I think that Thibodeaux is in control now, and he gets what he wants from the front office.
That pick should come in handy for the hornets as they are not in their best days.

But what good thing right now is Rose is at decent line up which possibly can go to playoffs with his addition since if he remains on pistons for sure he cannot possibly reach that far since Detroit is at the lowest standings, Detroit is in big trouble now for trading him as they lose a good veteran player. Although he's injury prone but Rose is improving from any major injuries since recently he play decently in his old team.

They trusted coach Thib as this New York team was once a shitty team and they've seen some improvement this season. Although there was an improvement, but they still want to improve more to secure a playoff spot since they've been missing the playoffs since Melo left the Knicks.

how about Lin, is it possible they can sign him to bring back that LINSANITY.

He is now looking for a chance to play in the NBA per report

Plus coach Thibs knows D.Rose very well. He has been coaching Rose since the Chicago Bulls. I'm not sure If D.Rose will become a good piece for the current Knicks roster to secure a playoff spot. D.Rose is a very versatile player anyway and his doing well with the Pistons as well he might be a perfect compliment for Barett and Randle.

will durant in squad team versus ex-club GSW in the next Friday? we know he suddenly out while playing versus raptors in cause covid 19contact  issue. at this time not even 14 days yet, I guess He still in quarantine and he will see the nets get a lose again at home.

Hmmmm, thanks for help me @stadus, i understood these concepts a little bit, because in my country where I live, we rarely use these names.

Sadly he merely a shadow of himself since the injury. Still pretty explosive with his footwork and drive to the basket but the league have become a lot more athletic on average, than the time Rose was the MVP.

Rose was the best, he made history, he was the ROY and the MVP and he was only 21 years old that time if I'm not wrong. That's so special, even the legend admire him and was amaze by the way he play, unfortunately a serious injury ended that, and although he is not anymore on his prime but people are still happy seeing him in the league.

If I'm not wrong, Derrick Rose won the MVP award at the age of 22, but he was the youngest player in history to win the MVP award.

I am sad to know that he is no longer the same, because of his injuries, but I have no doubt that if he did not have the injuries he could be one of the greatest players in the NBA

Another player, came in my mind now, and that his performance dropped a lot because of injuries was Isaiah Thomas.

Guys, a have a question, do you think in the future, Derrick Rose and Isaiah Thomas can improve their performance and return to being the star of the team?

[freedomgo]

will durant in squad team versus ex-club GSW in the next Friday?

Yes, but that will be on the road, per report he will be back by that time but since he is in quarantine before that, I doubt he is fully prepared for that game.
Anyways, they have irving and Harden in case he'll struggle a bit.

we know he suddenly out while playing versus raptors in cause covid 19contact  issue. at this time not even 14 days yet, I guess He still in quarantine and he will see the nets get a lose again at home.

That was a protocol to follow, Durant has to be taken out though it doesn't look good, especially in the eyes of the bettors who back the nets to win.
Let's see if Harden and Irving could deliver a win in a Durant less Nets in the next 2 games.

"Sources: Detroit Pistons trade Derrick Rose to New York Knicks in deal that reunites former MVP with Tom Thibodeau"
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/30855113/sources-detroit-pistons-trade-derrick-rose-new-york-knicks-deal-reunites-former-mvp-tom-thibodeau

Derrick Rose back with the Knicks, he and Thibs will be working together after Chicago, Minnesota and now in NY.

Interesting to see how this trade plays out for both the team and Rose, Knicks definitely have a shot at the playoffs in the East, currently holding the 8th spot.

Plenty of guards at Thibs disposal, i just hope Quickley doesn't get his minutes reduced as he has shown promising things thus far, Knick fans can attest to that.

Oh, Dennis Smith Jr goes to the Pistons, part of the trade.

I bet they will also try a small line-up here.
Considering the health of Rose, he won't be taking a lot of minutes. It will be Quickley and Payton that will be hit by it.
Yeah, they have a lot of guards and if Thibs could use that as a strength then I bet they might increase their chances for even a 7th spot in East or better.
Then, there's Austin Rivers which could adjust to SF.

[Febo]

Oh, Dennis Smith Jr goes to the Pistons, part of the trade.

He was planed to go play in G League bubble. So I guess that plan will change now. I wonder if he will get any play minutes at Detroit. We should not forget he was 9th pick in 2017 draft.

They've got something to work on, player like DRose can bring intensity to the whole team once he started to spark, just like an engine when got heated he's going to bring great performance.

Not young but being paired to right people sorrounds him and support him would be good enough to let him play the way he wanted to.

DRose might not get that minutes but for sure quality time to showcase his talent, good enough for  his
loyal fans knowing that Theb continue to believe what DRose can contribute to his squad.

I do not get why Derrick Rose was sent for DSJ and a pick, like yes Rose is a good player but we are talking about a young player who is not that bad plus a draft pick to get him, Rose is way too old to deserve something like that. He played only 15 games so far and he averaged only 14 points in those games too, not that he is a bad player that is good and DSJ played only 3 games with only 3 points so I know he is not good but he was a player who had 14+ points for a while, he is still 23 years old and could get better, whereas Rose is 32 already and on the downhill of his injury ridden career, I doubt he could make any impact on any team.

I understand teams wanting him, specially teams who want him as second PG on their team, that makes perfect sense, but wanting him for Draf picks doesn't really make sense. Both New York and Detroit are bad teams anyway so this shouldn't matter much.

Dennis Smith was never going to get burn on this team with thibs.  Quickley is next in line, and thibs already shows the kid trust.  I think the move is for them to compete this year but also provide that vet guidance to quickley and the younger guys.  I dont think this eats into quickleys lile like it will to burks.  Quickley is only getting 12-13 minutes a game it think that stays the same. No point just leaving him on the bench for the year

DRose can bring intensity to the whole team once he started to spark, just like an engine when got heated he's going to bring great performance.

I'm a DRose fan but we have to accept that there's no already spark in him. He is inconsistent for several seasons now and it's understandable. Feel sad for him that he ended up being traded for several teams. If there's a spark, then he won't be considered trading at all.

Knicks just accept the trade as maybe because DSJ doesn't really fit on their chemistry. That's the problem too why he was being traded from Dallas to Knicks. He's always acted as a leader even Luka is performing better. Maybe ego because DSJ was drafted first.

I don't think a player can act whatever he want, his job is just to follow orders from the coaching staff, let us stop speculating, we never know what's really happening inside and those trades are for the best interest of both team the fact that it happened and both mutually agreed.
