2024 NBA Season

[Pamadar]

Was close though, but not enough for Boston to make an upset here.

Jazz maintained the control and able to win the game against Boston who trully tried to push it up

but due to lack of time didn't made the upset.

For Portland vs Pelicans, Lillard to the rescue again, as he had to score 50 points come from behind win against New Orleans. Two crucial free throws with 1.2 seconds left and Zion missed the next shot. CJ McCollum scored 10 points in his comeback game.

With this game, it showed that veterans players are much confidence,

the game went wild in the last period, Lilard and Melo shows their experienced to beat Zion and Ingrams duo. That's really an upset
but for the homecourt team that's what fans are paying..

Good news for the Blazers, I was not able to follow the status of CJ, but knowing that he is now playing with the team, I expect the Blazers to be a better team and more good news to come if they'll able to get a goo defensive player before the trade deadline.

His shooting is not that consistent yet but it's okay since it's his first game and it's a win for the team.

Doing a 3-11 shooting only but it's still contributing and what matters is the team has won with their great effort.
Lillard once again shine that game as he is always as clutch as he is and did not miss the last 2 FT unlike Ingram did when they are suppose to win the game.

He is slowly getting in the groove right now, CJ and Melo hitting crucial three's, even Melo now is playing good defense, as he has a good block. And you can see Melo's confidence with that jump shot, just dancing around and shooting.  It was breakdown for New Orleans, I think they have like 15++ points lead, they just blow it away and let Dame take over and fouling him in those seconds, sinking two critical FT's. Good win for Portland.

Their big mistake starts with Ingram miss of 2 FT, that could have given them 5 points led and  though Ingram made mistake but they could still won the game as they are still ahead by 1 point and they are in the position, it's just bad that they made TO in the sideline inbound and foul Lillard in the act of shooting (either way) they are already in penalty.

This is a big letdown and Pelicans would not forget this loss.

[wheelz1200]

They need to start winning some other games that they are underdogs in...like tonight's game.  Yeah they shouldn't win but that doesn't stop 7-8 point underdogs lose everytime.  Looking for at least a dog fight in this game and not a blowout like the Bucks game.

We had a preview of what might playoff games if the Nets and Knicks will face somewhere in the NBA playoffs but the combined skill of Kyrie Irving and James Harden is hard to beat especially when they are still at the peak of their career. they just got a sneak win today and James Harden got a Tripple-Double. This will be the scene in the playoffs if they still manage to preserve the kind of play they're doing today. The Brooklyn Nets beat the New York Knicks 117-112.

Ueah it could be.  I expect the nets to take the top spot and with the knicks unable to sneak in some wins against the top teams, I think 7-8 is their ceiling.  Hope the dont bottom out in the second half of the season like they normally do. 😒

There's a big competition among the top 3 teams in the East, I have never seen this kind of close competition.

1- Philadelphia 76ers 28-12
2- Brooklyn Nets 27-13
3-Milwaukee Bucks 25-14

Miami Heat also started to win games and in the number 4, but the most surprising of them all is the Hornets, they are now in the top 5.

[Vaculin]

but the most surprising of them all is the Hornets, they are now in the top 5.

Hell yeah, that was because this team has become a great team after Walker left, they played as a team and don't rely on one player alone. Ball also is a great addition, he is very humble and it looks like his teammates really like to play with him. Ball will likely win the ROTY and might play his first playoffs appearance, I'm excited what he can bring during the playoffs.

[blockman]

We're all uniting in the opinion that he won't do that. If he wants to get another record and that is for staying into one team where he started and where he's going to retire.
Don't forget about the Kobe, he also holds that record.

I think it's already the trend like before if the team decided to release you or trade you, you have no choice besides, its still money, and if the team wants you out in exchange for a younger player, I don't think you will have a choice regarding that, Steph might be retiring in one jersey unless if at the end of the contract other team will offer a bigger one, i think he will leave, as we know money talks.

There would be teams that no doubt going to trade a player for some reasons and purposes. But if someone likes these players that we're discussing.
As we are saying, there will be no question to those players because they're the gold of that team and they wouldn't release it even for the money.

It just showed how young this team are,  they already have this game but instead of cooling everything and take control.

They play and compete with how Lilard and the blazers wants them to play, everything now for sure is being review as this one is almost a win, you mentioned those important possessions the team should learned from this mistake.

Crucial play is very important, that last T.O is really unusual and should prevent to happened again.

Yeah quite surprised at the Hornets this year.   Good for them they love been in a hole for awhile and looks like they landed a good one with lamelo.  I expect the bets to dominate once durant gets back, they will be beating most teams by double digits most nights.  I just can't see them getting beat in a 7 game series.  Beating them 4 times will be as tough as it gets.

[Febo]

9 days left until NBA trade deadline. There is a lot speculations. Some are just speculations, but since many trades are done right before trade deadline this speculations are alive. Some patient teams might make profit on impatient teams desperate moves.

Most exciting time of the year. Aaron Gordon, DaMarcus Cousins, LeMarcus Aldridge, JaVale McGee, Andre Drummond, Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Andrew Wiggins, Hassan Whiteside, Bradley Beal, Ben Simmons, and many more people are potential movers... Lakers, Nets, & Trailblazers seem most likely to make some moves.

I'm quite curious who will get Cousins since he has been waived by the Rockets already. He is injury prone and the fact that he plays on the court kinda dirty or I should say warfreak type, I don't think that those championship teams will get him. Just my idea though.

When the Cavs got Jarrett Allen and we know him as a legit great center, McGee and Drummond doesn't have enough time to play already and they have too many bigs already. Its time for them to at least trade it and get some smaller players. What I'm waiting is where will Beal, Lowry, Love, Porzingis and Whiteside go especially with Beal which we know want to be traded already because of too much drama from the start of the season.

Cavs need to do something with to many tall players. Porzingis will definitely stay with Mavericks. They are playing well and are not in a hurry. There are close to none players available to be an upgrade fro Mavericks for a trade for Porzingis.

You just can’t stop Dame Time. I was watching when they were down 3 with less than 5 seconds to go and somehow Dame managed to single handedly get them the W. The crazy thing is that you pretty much expect this sort of end of game action when Dame is involved.

[SammyBiG]

Since everyone is talking about the Cavs, lemme share my view on their current situation.
They've got so really tall players (compared input) but not the problem too, actually I feel they need a veteran again to lead the franchise, someone who has great play making ability and has some time left to make changes too. We've seen the like of Sexton, Nance, Cook, Allen... Etc continously improving on the court but miss the win. The management should look deep within who they'd acquire or probably produce a lead from therein.

[coinfinger]

Blazers looking good and Dame is bringing that team back to where it belongs once more, but I still think that it is very unlucky for them that they couldn't get a decent trade or an FA for the team, they tried their best I hope but dame+cj could go only so far, they needed more players to make it work.

I still think that if warriors managed to get that good even without durant on their early years, I believe that could have happened for blazers as well, just a few more decent role players and maybe a great defensive player and give the staff of warriors from head coach steve kerr to even janitor every single one of them, and I think blazers becomes great. Lakers looking great as well, they have been playing awesome for a while and they did it again, I really hope that they will continue down this path, AD missing more games than I expected and I hope he comes back healthy for playoffs.

LeBron has been a triple double machine lately. I think they’re smart to be overly cautious with AD’s return. As long as he’s healthy for the playoffs then all is well. It looks like the Nets are taking the same approach towards Kevin Durant’s recovery. Gotta have the guys healthy when the time comes.

At least those 2 superstars are not taking the load management as they are really in the recovery period.

I also want to see those heavy favorites teams in a fully healthy lineup once the playoffs start or in the Finals. We might not see the same level of competition (for example with Lakers or Nets) next season.

I guess you're right. They should start getting or trading someone for a veteran, someone that they can release or if not, someone that they can just acquire without the need of trading any of them from the roster.

I remember when they still have those superstars that we have today, they're one of the most favored and liked team as usual when there are players like them in their team.

I actually think dame is a top 5-10 player in the world.  I honestly wouldn't want anyone else with the ball in their hand down 1, 2 or 3 points other than dame.  Dudes range is infinite and is pure ice in game deciding situations.  Not a blazer fan but definately enjoy watching them play.

He’s definitely on the short list for MVP. I’d love to see him get some more talent around him so he could actually compete for a title someday. I don’t think he’ll ever leave the Trailblazers, but if he did and chose to go to the Lakers I think he would be a better compliment to LeBron then AD is. They’d just need a Dennis Rodman type to round out the team.
