2024 NBA Season

[Sanitough]

Also a good win for the Golden State Warriors, they are not hitting their three point shot in the first two quarters. But it was complete turn around as they used this weapon to beat the Phoenix Suns.

It was an entertaining game, Warriors showed that they can beat even one of the best teams and they are successful in doing that. I like the Warriors in this game, everyone is contributing and it looks like they have a good momentum going to the elimination. I'm rooting for the Warriors now to advance in the playoffs, who's with me?

A good win for the lakers much needed they really found a gem, tucker played well, especially that three-pointer that gives them the lead, got scared with Davis walking slowly, I hope he is alright and well, Drummond also have a good game, can't wait for LeBron to complete the team, good to hear Wesley is back, hope they will stay healthy.

Drummond getting 18 rebounds was nice. I think that’s the first time he’s dominated the boards since the trade to the Lakers. That’s what I’ve been waiting to see. When LeBron comes back they’re going to have a massive front line. I’m already hoping they can get CP3 and Derozan on the team next year with some magic…

Yes, and the breaks of the game, they got an important offensive rebound and then converted it to two points. And then THT with three's in the corner that sealed the game for them.

So they are back in 6 spot now, while Knicks drop from 4th to 6th in the West. They let this game slip away, leading by 10 with 7 minutes left. But as we all know that Lakers is in survival mode so really good win for the Lakers.

Lakers are fighting together to keep them in much better position.

That team efforts that they showed proved that once they are healthy and in good conditions they are capable of winning the game, most if LeBron already there playing with them.

Also a good win for the Golden State Warriors, they are not hitting their three point shot in the first two quarters. But it was complete turn around as they used this weapon to beat the Phoenix Suns.

Jordan Poole did the damage with his back to back 3's to push the Lakers closer and then Wiggins pouring in 38 points. Steph just needed 21 here, but it was a complete team effort, winning 4 in a row and separate themselves from Grizzles to the 8th spot in the West.

GSW survive and keep their place to the next round, though not sure yet but keeping the boost to keep playing more harder, great game for
Wiggins carrying the offense while support from Steph and the rest of the team really established the win.

The Lakers seem to have a hard time against the Knicks but a win is a win.

It's not just because it's "Lakers" it's an automatic win already dealing with the New York Knicks.

Can't even beat the Knicks? Don't underestimate this team. The team has been playing well so far later this season. They just recently beat the healthy Clippers a few days ago. They are out of the playoffs competition for 7 seasons now and that changed this season. Although likely they will struggle in the playoffs, still a good improvement by the team.

Knicks had a good lead, I thought they would win that game but the Lakers came back to beat them. It was a close game, both teams are legit, especially the Knicks, they should not be underestimated, what we are seeing now is a different knicks seasons back, in fact they have a shot to win a championship, they are just underrated now.

The Knicks has a resurgence after the all-star break, Randall is putting good numbers and they are debate that his name can be in the discussion for the MVP this season because of his performance, he could also win the Most Improved Player (MIP) this season.

What do you mean? the Lakers won in over time, 101-99.

[Slow death]

A good win for the lakers much needed they really found a gem...

 

this was a game where there was an amazing turnaround, I would say that the New York Knicks didn’t manage to manage the game well, they could have won that game, but on the other side the Lakers managed to have more concentration, they made better use of each opportunity and in the end they gave the final blow and won the game. But I congratulate the Knicks for almost winning, unfortunately in the game someone always wins.

They are different bow because they have good roosters taken for this conference but they need to prove that they will not choke in playoffs, they should do more efforts since playoffs is different theme many teams are on beadt mode at that time since for sure they will do major adjustment since all want to go to finals. Also almost all stars in powerhouse team are back in action so expect that road to finals is not easy for them.

Well, if the Knicks won't make it in the first round, I think we should still be proud of this team to reach the playoffs. They need to do one step at a time, over time, they will improve because they have already build a good roster with good chemistry.

Indeed! Playoffs is a different competitions to play with, knowing that all those teams that will be qualified are all deserving to move forward,

It will be a tough job for the Knicks even they've secured a playoff birth after that long 7 season away from qualifying to move in the next round, they will now playing against super teams that have stars who are really capable in boosting the whole squad.

They needed to show more and jive together playing as a team with good interiors to coming from the trio of Randle, Barrett, and Rose.

That was a crucial win for the lakers and they still have a chance to get out from that cursed "play-in" tournament. that if they will win their next games and the Blazers and Mavericks will lose one more time. Number 5 and 6 still not that far and the Lakers are 1-2 wins away to regain that spot. Things are getting serious this upcoming games for them and they need to win the remaining games to be able to regain their championship momentum when the playoff games start.

Knicks will compete, they have a good roster, and though they don't have playoff experience yet as this is a new roster, some of the players have playoffs experience especially Derrick Rose and Taj Gibson which are teammates back in Chicago. There's no big expectation for the Knicks now, so the pressure is not on them, and if they win, that would be a big news as it's an upset on the top teams in the East, probably Bucks, Nets, or 7ers.

The Lakers were always serious, it's just that Davis was still inconsistent when he came back from injury, now, it seems like he had already adjusted and they are on a winning streak already which is a good thing. With what they have shown in the last few games, this will not force Lebron to come back soon, it will give Lebron more time to rest and be ready in the playoffs, well, top 6 is really important for them, but let's see if they'll continue to win.

[Oasisman]

~snip~

Nope.
I don't think that they have the capabilities to win the championship. On that team, only 4 of them have the playoff experience (Moore, Crowder, Craig and Paul) and most of them are inexperienced and we know that elimination and playoffs are completely different.

That's the reason why this bet has been boosted to 20 times. A lot of fans/gamblers knew the Phoenix Sun are only good during the regular season, but can't even get pass the WCF, especially with a lot of good teams and talents in the Western conference this year. Chris Paul really struggled to reach the NBA finals even with the strong Rockets line up before.

Well, this gambling anyway. Who knows they might become even stronger in the post season and win it all 

Lakers fell down so bad, they can't even beat Knicks.

I don't know which specific game were you watching, but the Lakers won the Overtime.
I bet you were watching their first game recap in YouTube on April 13? Lol.

Honestly it looks like Lakers are doing fine again. It is not really that shocking to see because we all knew that when AD gets more and more minutes and he finds his footing, he will make too much difference to let other teams beat Lakers that easily.

I get that for a long time Lakers looked bad, but they are back again. It was understandable when they looked bad without both AD and Lebron but when AD came back he wasn't fully ready so they kept looking a bit bad, and during the same time other teams started to win a lot of games, or kept winning games which dropped them. These are all understandable stuff but Lebron is coming back very soon (probably by weekend) and AD is healthy again, so it is Lakers time again, the one that won the championship last year. If people thought a team that won championship last year will miss the playoffs this year they were very wrong.

[agustina2]

this will not force Lebron to come back soon, it will give Lebron more time to rest and be ready in the playoffs,

Agree with that. Only a few remaining games left and the Lakers just need to do their best so they can use Lebron in the playoffs instead of playing to their last following games.

Anthony Davis seems to get back in shape. Drummond also has a good night. And the conversation before here about inconsistent Kuzma also played a good game.

Hope that the same level of performance will be seen in their next games so they can avoid the play-in tournament.

Kuzma had 23 big points, he was the top scorer here, and yes his inconsistency is a problem, so let's hope he will be consistent in the remaining games as that's the most needed games to be in a good spot, let his inconsistency play again once Lebron comes back.

I guess they don't have time for rest because there are only three games left. By the way, the Lakers will play against the Rockets tonight, and more rumors have appeared that Lebron might return in this match. So we can expect that it will be an easy win for LAL.

No, he might still not play according to this article.

LeBron James out vs. Rockets, could return Saturday
The tweet : https://twitter.com/KingJames/status/1392583560327008260

It's not necessary for him to return yet since I believe The current Lakers squad could handle a weak Rockets team.
