2024 NBA Season

[OgNasty]

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.

Rose was once an amazing player.  It's messed up what happened to him, but I am with you on the spark.  He's been checked out for a while now and while he did have that one game winner a couple years back where he put up a ton of points, those moments may all be in the past now.  I think he would have retired 5 years ago except his contract with whatever sponsor he had required him to be in the NBA and that contract dwarfs the amount of money he makes as a player now...  So it's a unique situation where the guy has to be in the NBA to keep getting his advertising payday, even though NBA teams are getting reluctant to even pay his relatively low player salary.

I think that so much intensity every time he plays makes the injury more serious, if you see all his performance was out of this world, I have seen the reviews, and that put pressure on the muscle, he could have been like LeBron if he chooses plays only when needed, but what can I say he doesn't want to hold back every game and put an amazing show for us, maybe he can be an assistant coach or coach in the near future for rose?

He was that good and unstoppable before the injury has happened to him that made him a bench player nowadays. Injury after injury and they've missed the playoffs those past years. I think he needs he can have a chance again to play in the playoffs if the Knicks will hold that position right now until the playoffs. Derrick Rose has something to prove when he gives all his best in a game especially when competing with the contender teams. He jumped like there is no tomorrow that's the way he plays his game in the past.

Bad decision by Draymond Green.
He thought he will be fouled but no call. That's a lot of time and should've just run the play for Steph.
The Spurs won the game against GSW.

How about this guy? Dejounte Murray.
Almost a triple-double in a different way. 27 points 10 rebounds 8 steals. Wow.
I think he just broke a record for steals made in a game.

Good comeback by the Lakers who were down 11points at a point in the 4th qtr. LBJ with 28 points and Harrell taking advantage of OKC not having a strong center and got 21 points. Lebron got his triple double with 28points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists.

Another triple double, good for James, that will again add on his achievement and he will continue to rise in ranking.

Currently he is rank at number 5 for "Players with the most triple doubles in the NBA all-time as of January 2021" according to.

It was a close game that leads to overtime that was a crucial game for Lebron and the others because AD was not playing today. Most of the critics think that without AD Lakers is nothing but they proved it today without a doubt they are one of the contender team even though without AD. What more if they made AD play today and the reasons they were trailing because Kuzma's shot from the ark was not successful. Thankfully the other teammates have done their job well and they are now 1 win away to 20 wins.

Los Angeles Lakers 19-6

It's okay for Davis to just rest for awhile, Lebron will take care of the team and there's no pressure on them since they are still the number 1 in the West and in the league in overall I think (not updated with the list yet). Congrats to them, a big win for them because it went into OT and they proved that they have the composure to stay calm and win the game.

We have seen an awesome game really. Lakers were 56-60 behind at halftime. 3rd quarter was also so close. In the last quarter, Lakers dominated it and had their the most points of all quarters, 34. They succeeded in defeating Thunder after overtime with a 119-112 result. I liked watching Lebron the most in this game. Lakers maintain their incredible performance. They were the victor in the last 5 games.

Mostly Lebron will choked, but this time he did not, good job for him as he again carry this team. Lakers missed Davis because everything is easy with him, Gasol seems not so productive as a center but good thing they have Montrezl Harrell whoa re contributing to this team as usual.

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.

https://www.sportsrec.com/8338357/what-is-the-difference-between-the-frontcourt-the-backcourt-in-basketball

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.

Thanks for that but should they really use this in an all-star game? I mean they could just let the people choose the players they wanted. Their roles or positions don't even matter as they would just adjust and do things for the watcher or the supporters to enjoy the game. Well, winning is different of course since both teams want to win.

He did not choked because they are playing against a weaker team, if he played with a superior team like the Clippers or the Warriors, he might choke again, we have witnessed him many times in the past where he just shot a 3 point shot which is not his game instead of driving the ball.

Lebron is great but honestly, he is not a clutch player like Curry and Durant.

Every player experience bad games in their life, and good, in any way, no matter how good you are, you will experience defeat, even Michael choked but since we like him we never look at his bad game, or performance, with the age of 35 he is still doing great, I'm not a fan of both player but, but happy that I saw this player perform, at their best, even durant choked in OKC, and Steph let 3-1 lead goes to waste, the ball is round I guess, we don't know who will come out winner in the end.

We have news today.

Nets sign forward Noah Vonleh

his record : https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/v/vonleno01.html

I only remember him playing with the Portland Trail Blazers and he was effective especially on the defensive end.
Hopefully he will be able to improve the Nets defense.

Yeah and I'm not going to lie this is 60% lebron.  Playoff lebron is rediculous.  I domt see anyone stopping them once they get into the playoffs.  Only team id like to see them play might be the nets as they can light up the scoreboard now so they will make it entertaining.  I know the jazz looked good but playoff bron won't be stopped by them.

How about we talk on the WCF first, what do you think about the Clippers chance against the Lakers?

I'm sure Paul George would not tank again like he did in the last playoffs, different coach and some key players added to the roster, i thin they are a better team now. I like the Lebron vs Leonard match up very much, and I have a feeling that Leonard will stop Lebron and they'll be the WCF champion.

The teams I am curious about what they will do in the playoffs the most are Utah Jazz, Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks. These are really the surprising teams of this season and they are at the top places in their conference. In my opinion, Lakers and Clippers have more potential than any other team for the championship but of course it is still too early to make predictions for now. We aren't even in the half of the season and as we know there are going to be 72 games in the regular-season different than usual.

Well, I think Jazz will probably get that Denver treatment. Jazz is not seen as the potential champions, but they are seen as a great team, which means they will go as further as they can in the playoffs but will lose somewhere, which is what people expect from them, nobody expects them to go out in the first round but they may go out in the second round which would be not so shocking, or maybe they will go out in the conference finals, that's all I can see them going, no way they would be in the finals if other teams do not have a lot of injured players.

Sixers will probably be a great team in playoffs but they are playing a new style of basketball right now and I think it is obvious that on your first year of a new system you usually do not go to finals, I think it will probably be next year. Bucks are weird, they should probably go to finals, but for some reason they never do, I am not sure why and I am not sure what will happen this year neither.

Betting against lebron is like betting against Brady at this point.  Dont think leonard will stop lebron but even if he is anthony davis is more than capable of carrying the team.  I like kawhi in the playoffs, I'm not a huge Paul George fan though.  Dont like seeing the same teams in the finals every year but lebron usually is on cruise control right now, then turns it on during the playoffs...he looks even better this year than most.

[OgNasty]

Today's talk around the NBA seems to be that Lonzo Ball is likely to be traded to the Chicago Bulls.  I was sort of hoping to see him end up back on the Lakers, but if he wants to go to Chicago, more power to him.  It's gotta be tough seeing his little brother do so well in the NBA while he's considered to some to be a bust, although his shooting and numbers are looking better year after year.  Maybe he wants to get to a place where he feels he'll be able to do a little more for his team instead of being the 4th option. 

I am looking forward to seeing the trade deadline fury of trades this year.  The Nets seem like they've got some more tricks up their sleeve and I'm still waiting for the Lakers to pull a rabbit out of their hat.  I sort of thought DeMarcus Cousins was going to be waved by Houston and picked up by the Lakers, but it's looking like that may not happen.
