2024 NBA Season

[Botnake]

So Blake still not playing right? and KD still resting,

Blake did not play, same with Durant, injury related issue, but they will be back soon.

Any leads when will Blake will start playing? is he going to play in their next match? against Piston or Knicks? or both opponents?

There's no information yet when he will debut with the nets, try checking this site, they provide an update information.

Kyrie got some unfinished business with Boston   Look how he did he's shots he really show them how good he is and how valuable

he was leading a team, things that he didn't get when he's still playing alongside with his former Boston team.

Maybe he's confident to be in a better team right now and he can showcase more of himself.

AFAIR, he was also leading the Boston, problem is the injury is hitting him and IIRC, he missed the playoffs because of an injury and that is too frustrating because that's the time when the team need him a lot.

I think Blake will have some rest time and he'll be back in full force but honestly he wasn't near his top so far and I'm questioning his debut to be honest. If Nets somehow puts him in his right place in both body and mind , Blake will have an important role in play-offs.


I smell a revenge spot for Bulls tonight against Heat and the odds are again attractive...but I might go with LaVine over 26.5 and Duncan over 11.5.

Thanks, I'll be checking that link from time to time. I'm just excited to see such updates like change of roster and their debut with their newest addition.

I hope that this time that there will be less injury on their team. Many are eyeing for their team to get into the finals and that's what makes everyone interested about them.

Especially Griffin, his main reason why he signed with the Nets is to be in the Championship and to win. His playoffs experience could contribute to this team, he maybe not part of the starting line up but he will surely get good minutes if he will have a great performance in the playoffs.

These are all stars players, they are not just big 3, they now can call themselves as big 4.

Imagine these players lead their team in the early stage of their career.

1- Irving (Cavaliers)
2-Durant (OKC)
3- Harden ( Rockets)
4-Griffin (Clippers)

4-Griffin (Clippers)

They all lead their respective teams, aside from Kyrie who won his title with the Cavs, those three are all conference finalist.

And to recall it correctly, both KD and Harden played with the OKC they managed to bring the team to the finals but lose with the Heat.

Now that they are all together with the same goal, bringing this franchise to the finals, it's up now with the coaching staff  mixing them up with the right sets of players to play.

KD recruited him so that he will have a sitting partner.

“I talked to KD the most,” he said. “I’ve known James, KD, Kyrie, and DeAndre for a long time, so this is a familiar team for me.”

Eventually, they will play.
I doubt the impact though, we will have to see it first before we could conclude what he can contribute to the team.
I wish he could play against the Pistons tomorrow. That will be fun to watch.

According to this source : Blake Griffin’s Nets debut won’t come versus former team

There's no definite time yet when he will debut but it's not necessary to rush things when he still has an injury, and Durant as well.
Nets are doing very well, no pressure for both of these players, save their energy when playoffs come, Irving and Harden would be okay with that.

Agree.
I will still bet for the Nets even without KD and Griffin.
In my opinion Harden is the real key of the team by now. He changed a lot of his style. Not wasting so much time looking at the shot clock and just showing his ball handling. He's more into putting the play into action rather than being selfish.
I guess now he do trust his team mates both offensively and defensively.

I love the new Harden. It suits him.

They already beat the teams to beat in the West, they beat the Clippers, Lakers and the Jazz.. Also, they beat the 76ers, Bucks and the Celtics. All that wins was only because of Harden and Irving, no Durant on that games and that was just so impressive.

I love the new Harden. It suits him.

Same here, his real talent was showcase with his team now.

Yes, and Harden proving his point with the Nets, his new found style of playing, is really on display with the Nets, shooting and assists wise. Just a couple of months ago, some of us are saying that he will not be a perfect fit specially with Kyrie. But both of them adjusted their game, and now they have a good chance in the East. So who wouldn't love the new version of Harden now. Mature and his basketball IQ is one of the best.

It's my first time seeing Harden leading in the assists leaders in the NBA.

https://www.nba.com/stats/


He is more of a passer now than a scorer and I believe he is very comfortable with that rule as they keep winning.
Look at the big difference between him and Westbrook and the good thing is that Harden is from a top team compared to the top 2 and 3.

Harden have just an amazing skillset. He is like everywhere he goes, on both sides of the court pretty incredible to see him effectively defending big men in the post when needed. I've been very impressed with his passing. I think the turnovers will go down over time,and that makes him a  significant advantage for the teams he plays for. Give him a few heartbeats, and that turns in to a major advantage, just like with Durant.

57 finalists? how many of them will get the final spot in the olympics?

I think it's not necessary that Lebron or KD will play in the Olympics, even with the younger players, USA still is the heavy favorites to bag the gold medal.

This is a big stage, it's olympics where millions if not billions of people are watching so they will definitely play as it's a privilege for them to bring honor to their country. I forget that olympics will be this year due to the pandemic we are experiencing but I'm hoping it will be successful as vaccine is already here to protect our players to compete for our country.

Of course they still want to let an NBA All-star play because they can still put on a show even though its the Olympics. As long as they are an available player which is hand selected by the USA coach, they will be able to play and of course they are also launching try outs for the team but NBA players are heavily favored to join because of their experience.

[stadus]

If you still remember the FIBA world, USA did not win the gold so they don't want to experience the same fate.

Team USA hit with stunning loss in the FIBA World Cup that comes with a worse fate

I believe they will bring their best players to play with the Olympic and secure that gold medal.

The young core of the NBA have no match, in the Olympics, if the USA wants to get the gold they need to be serious, it's a different league the rules are different, they need LeBron KD and other star players, to win it all, players on the Olympics of other countries are really good, it will be not a walk in the park if they will send only rookies.
