2024 NBA Season

[Fredomago]

What a game by Spurs and Nets! It was really awesome to watch the young players on Spurs becoming super great, we are in a situation where life is becomming good in San Antonio once again, after just a year of bad decisions of rotation and Bellineli plus Forbes making our situation even worse on defense which wasn't great and still is not at top level honestly.

In short. we are finally seeing the team on what it could be this year and we are having a lot of fun, I would love to see this team grow old together but market cap would force us to not sign a few of them, we have way too many guards right now who are not going to be on the team after few years because you can't offer all those kids good amount of money without breaking rules, I hope that we keep at least Keldon, Murray, White, Lonnie, the new ones we drafted could be the ones we let go.

Or they can just let go with their veterans to free up some good market cap, I used to remember way back when Duncan needs to adjust to keep the core intact.

They can simply repeat that for the future of this team, they are developing young talents. So instead of letting them go why not give them some decent / competitive offers. In few more years, Derozan and Aldridge won't be the same as age and those injuries will slow them up. Management needs to have concrete plans for the future of this team, there's connections and that's how Spurs bring the excitement.

Nets still continue their incredible performance. They managed to defeat Spurs away also after overtime. They got 9 wins in their last 10 games which is awesome. Harden played great against Spurs in the last game. He got 30 points, 14 rebounds and 15 assists. Irving also had very good statistics - 27 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists.

Harden is playing the best season of his career, having that awesome numbers and with consistency, that will surely put him in the MVP favorites this season. They only loss against Dallas when Irving miss a game, but I guess this time they'll continue to win as Irving is back.

They are now gelling together. A healthy Nets isn't only strong in papers but legitimately strong as a team. They can be stronger than the 2016 GSW, and in order to prove that they need to win a championship this year and the coming years, they need to have consecutive finals appearance in the coming years. I'm a little confident that they'll make it to finals this year. None of the Eastern teams could beat a healthy Nets team.

That's right, they need to prove first by winning a championship as regular season is completely different than in playoffs.
Nets could be playing so well now but if they are not that compose during the playoffs, I'm afraid they'll be upset even if they will become a top 1 in the rank.

Durant needs to come back as he has more playoffs experience and achievement, hoping for his good heath and to stay healthy through the regular season especially i the playoffs, but chemistry wise, I guess they have figure it out already.

Ayton will have to play a good game for the Lakers to lose.  That's asking a lot from the young big man.  We'll see though.  The Suns usually have a hard time against the Lakers, but this is the best team we've had in years.  I'll be watching the game tonight.  It's a nationally televised event on TNT, which the Suns don't see very often.  I actually can't remember if I've ever seen the Suns on TNT.  Certainly not since the Nash/Marion days. 

Ah so you are Suns fan . Yeah I agree, Ayton won't have an easy job against Harell and Gasol, that's for sure. I've been underestimating your team yet they keep winnings, so decided to put some money on the this time.

Can't say I paid attention much to Suns since the Nash days, but because my countrymen Saric joined them (who I think is pretty decent this season considering the minutes he had) kinda started watching Suns game again.

Riding on the same boat here, too much for Lakers hype, the losing streak that I witnessed kinda showed they are not unbeatable and based on how the suns are playing lately which they have won 8 games of the last 10, I think they'll snatch a win here, even on the road.

I would put up some bets on Suns this time..Not that much of a Lakers hater but i do feel out that they can really win this time.I agree into those words above about Suns only get some attention into those Nash days.

There is good price for the risk on betting on the suns.  Anytime you are playing the Lakers ypu will get lopsided or odds that don't account for actuality.  Money will always come in on the Lakers no matter what they are doing so that will sway the points their way when it shouldn't.  With that being said beware of betting against bron at home.  He can burn you at any given time

Guys, don't forget that the All-Star Game is this weekend! They announced an hour ago all the participants in the 3-point contest, slam dunk contest, and the skills competition:

"NBA All-Star 3-point contestants: Stephen Curry, Donovan Mitchell, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Devin Booker, Zach LaVine."
source: https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1366910357344763904

"Slam Dunk Contest Participants: Anfernee Simons, Cassius Stanley and Obi Toppin."
source: https://twitter.com/ChrisBHaynes/status/1366909229622194176

"Skills Competition Participants: Luka Doncic, Chris Paul, Nikola Vucevic, Domantas Sabonis, Julius Randle, and Robert Covington."
source: https://twitter.com/TheSteinLine/status/1366910841652674560

The 3-Point contest and skills challenge are set prior to the All-Star Game, the slam dunk contest will be held at halftime of ASG. The 3-point contest appears to be the most interesting one imo considering whos in, though i would have preferred to see players like Rozier, VanVleet or even Lonzo Ball, they have all made considerably more 3s this season than Tatum and Jalen Brown.

But there chances are really looking good right now and I'm expecting that they will carry it to the playoffs because their big 3 has the experience.

Yes, for sure Durant will comeback after the break, Nash and the Nets are not taking any chances to force him to play, they wanted him fully healed for the playoffs. And the good thing is that the team are doing good, giving Durant the needed buffer to take a rest.

How about Nikola Jokic today? he insanely made triple-doubles again and it's against the Milwaukee Bucks. With this, he made a record for the most 30 points triple-doubles by a center in NBA history.

Wilt Chamberlain - 21
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - 8
Nikola Jokic - 8

~

Thank you for the update. I almost forgot it. 

Just as I thought, the Suns will maximize the usage of Deandre Ayton's height because no one can stop him from the Lakers team.
17 points with 5 boards.
Booked was ejected in the 2nd half but the Suns didn't let the Lakers to use that as their advantage.
CP3 led the team with the help of Crowder, Bridges, and Saric.
Suns now at their 3rd winning streak. Next will be against the Warriors.

Warriors are more easier opponent than the Lakers, so I guess they'll still gonna win this game. Suns had really turn to a playoff team from the team who struggle a lot, Paul made it possible and I'm happy to see Paul like to play the Suns and we can see their good chemistry.

They have great chances to brought the Nets to the playoffs if they play consistent especially when durant back on the rooster but the question here is will durant comeback can really give a good result to them? Remember they had so many lose when the big 3 is on the court so hopefully on next time around they will click and there's no issue will happen so that their good streak will continue.

76ers will win this game as they are playing on their home court. Jazz is good but I like to cheer on the 76ers as Embiid is playing and he will have a good night. I am just assuming though because I know Embiid is unstoppable even with Gobert's long arms.

Nets will be in the playoffs, almost no team can match them, yes they lose to under 500 teams but when they face better teams they are producing points and have a good scoring run from the big three, I think they were just warming up, I say before that they have chemistry issue, but its been resolve, the question might who will match the nets in the east and also in the finals if they win the east finals.

If they will win in the ECF, they might face the Lakers or the Clippers, if it's the Lakers, they'll have a problem with Davis as Lakers are bigger but if they will make it faster, they might have the advantage. It's hard to tell though but one thing is sure, the series could go to 6 or 7 games.

I honestly can't pick one way or another.  The sixers can completely flop in this game or dominate.  The center battle will be fun to watch between embid on gobert.  I like the jazz in this one as I dont think the sixers will be able to stop donovan mitchell in this one.  Only thing that will save the sixers is if they hit 3s like they did in the last game.
