2024 NBA Season

[justdimin]

I feel so happy for Rockets, they didn't really deserved a 20 loss streak, if you watched all of their games you would know that they really didn't lose by a lot in some of them, it was a close game for few times but they lost anyway. This has happened only 13 times in all of nba history, it is so rare that I do not remember this happening in all 13 neither, some of them were very very old and I have never seen it. So now that they broke it, it is finally done and they can get back to playing well because that losing streak caused some psychological problems for the team as well, losing puts a big toll on you and then getting back on the horse and playing better is not that easy.

Plus, this is the team that had one of the longest playoff runs as well, to miss now will be bad but to miss it this way? They are tanking by being bad not by choice.

Rumor has it that Andre Drummond is meeting with the Los Angeles Lakers staff today. People are saying this could lead to a signing shortly. With rumors flying all over it’s hard to know what to believe, but Drummond as a Laker makes a lot of sense. I’m sure they’ll be talking about it during tonight’s game.

I guess that such a long losing streak isn't a rarity for NBA teams. If I'm not mistaken, the last similar losing streaks were in the 18-19 season, then the Knicks and the Phoenix had 18 and 17 defeats in a row, respectively.

Please don't remind of those knicks losing streaks lol.  Hopefully there won't be another one of those crazy droughts again.  Waiting to see what Houston does with olidipo.  He is on an expiring contract I know he has some links to the knicks hope they don't give up too much for a rental in a year they clearly aren't going to win much in the playoffs.  Miami will be a good spot for him

Hope so that it will happen. Want to see the Nets vs Lakers, if ever they will make it to the Finals, with a boost roster.

I'm now thinking that Laker's good bench will now be changed as they will have to ship some players too.

There is a recent rumor about Harrel involving with the Lakers' future trades. Maybe Drummond-Harrel direct trade?

Harrel is good but to get Drummond for him, that would always be a good decision for the Lakers. I'm excited what will happen after the trade deadline, Lakers really need a legit big man that could substitute an injured Anthony Davis and underperforming Mark Gasol.

As far as the current progress of that rumor involving Drummond and Harrell, there's no mention of a possible direct trade between Drummond and Harrell.

The rumors are: a) Harrell might be shipped to Charlotte Hornets b) KCP is the one that the Lakers will release to get Andre Drummond.

Lakers are now doing something to improve their roster before the trade deadline as LeBron James is expected to miss the action for at least six weeks.

That would be alright, regardless on how it's done as long as they can acquired Drummond before the trade deadline. I'm sure Drummond would really be   big help and Lakers will be able to dominate the inside points again and things will be easier for Lebron James. Nets for sure is currently the favorites to win the NBA Finals, but if Lakers will successfully acquired Drummond, that would make them back to the top.

I think it will bring Lakers as a contender if they get Drummond by they are going to sacrifice as well.

Nets will still be the favourites or at least someone for the East (6'ers' or Bucks). Lakers need to play flawless and need to get Lebron and Davis in the lineup come playoff time if they want to at least defend their championship this year.

Nets vs Trailblazers - Nets is going to be without Kyrie will James Harden is questionable with a neck injury. That's why I'm quite surprised to see the ML line here as the Portland is not the favorite @1.62. I think Portland will have this one and for sure Dame and CJ will take advantage of Net's missing their two superstar.

edit: Harden is playing.

All of a sudden Harden is good to go but they say he is still a little stiffed.
Should've added the over score in my bet. 37-41 in favor of Blazers. That's a high scoring game.

Expected winning teams did their job well.
Nuggets won against Magic.
Pelicans won against Lakers (Lebronless)
Suns won against Heat
There is no denying that Suns grew a lot this season. Thanks to the leadership brought by CP3.

And no problem, Harden almost registered another triple double, he has 7 rebounds. Jeff Green still playing very good basketball, pouring in 20 points. But I really like Nicolas Claxton performance though, this kid is really making a statement of his own with the Nets.

Good for those who have bet on Nets because they are the underdog here, it's like 2.x odds for them ML.

I thought we were gonna see another great Damian Lillard finish once the game entered Dame Time. Unfortunately the Nets stuck it out and got the win. It’s funny that I expect some sort of last minute greatness from Dame after all his heroic end of game moments.

Yeah, unfortunately, he had a bad shooting night plus the defense of Nets, doubling teaming him makes it hard for him to score. I thought him and CJ and just going to take this one away from Brooklyn.

Perhaps the blow out lost against Dallas the last time was still there psychologically. I put a bet on Portland ML prior to the game. They take the lead in the first quarter and I said that it will be a win for them, too bad.

Nice win by the Nets, and I like the development of Griffin, he is improving, maybe next game he will already get a double digit points. No Irving, yet they are still playing, this team is legit now as long as Harden is playing healthy.

I agree. The Lakers chances to go back to back are becoming slimer and slimer especially that injuries has been bugging the team. Not only that, teams in the West as well in the East are improving that these teams could beat them 4-2 in a 7 game series.
Sure Drummond is a great addition for the Lakers, but still I would give them less than 50% chance to win the championship again.
Three more losses and the Lakers will fall below the 8th seed.

[Yamifoud]

What do you think about the  return of CJ McCollum? was the chemistry improve or not?

I notice with the loss against the Nets, CJ was shooting more with 19 attempts and made 5 only, while Lillard also struggle with 5 of 17 shooting.
His numbers are down and so with his shooting percentage, is there' anything they can do to improve their current line up?

Any experts here opinion here?

I've been a fan of Lillard lately, always bet on them, same here against the Nets as I thought that they are going to win the way him specially that CJ is back, However, there was no Dame Time, although they really try to come back in the fourth, Nets and Harden answers back whenever they try to close the gap. So not greatness for Dame and no heroic comeback.

Nets are no joke, they are now tied with the Lakers for the NBA futures with +285 betting odds.

Blazers are just like battling the Lakers here and it's hard to beat a team that is favorite to win a championship.

It as at the 3rd quarter when the Nets took the lead.
The first half was really good in favor of the Trail Blazers with Gary Trent leading the offense.
It's just that the Nets offense was overwhelming and Lillard was well defended.
Most of the time he was doubled and they don't even gave him a breathing space.  
I'm sure they will come back after that and I will not miss to bet for them.
