2024 NBA Season

[el kaka22]

Bucks is finally using Giannis how he suppose to be and not what he wants to be and that is a very important part of the change this season. Dude is inside a lot and that shows, they are playing with Byrn and Kris a lot and just putting Giannis down low.

This was the key this game as well and yes Giannis against bigs do work and they have seen that, I know he was more like a SF when he first started and then became more PF size eventually but I still think that he can even play as much as Center in some situations. This is why this series looks a lot easier for Bucks, they stopped playing with the bad system and now they are using their superstar the right way.

That milwaukee first quarter was something else if anyone watched. So many three pointers they destroyed miami heat in the first quarter and finished the game already at start of the game.

I would say it took the Bucks only 5 minutes to win this match, considering that score already was 4-19 at the time. I don't know what happens with Butler, but he has a terrible performance in this series. Anyway, the next two games will be in Miami, and maybe playing on the home court will help them.

I thought a close game on Game 2 after the Game 1 actions.

Miami Heat literally waived the flag early or it's just that Milwaukee Bucks is really on momentum and too much for them to handle. There are now fans watching and the environment is not as stressful and pressured as last year's environment in the playoffs so I don't know what's happening in Miami. If I remember last year, I said that Miami Heat's young cores don't feel any pressure as they are playing in a bubble, without distractions, so these young guys don't pressure at all (as they are lack experience yet playing in the playoffs).

They are totally different from their last year's performance. Well then, there are still remaining games and the Heat are still alive. @11 now for them to win the series so for pure Miami Heat fans there, grab the chance as that will move if they will win on the next game.

[rdbase]

How about the Milwaukee Bucks today?
Looks like they don't gonna give any chance to the Miami Heat this time. they won the last 2 games and managed to give Miami Heat the worst game in the NBA playoffs today.

Too much Bucks in this game. 10 three pointers in a quarter and a 26 point lead to start the game. Its just complete domination by these team.
Looks like they've adjusted to what happened last years where they got dominate by the Heat. TBH, I completely underestimated the Bucks at the start of the season because of their roster compare to other championship contender teams but looks like we can include them in the top picks on winning the title .
On the other game, the Nuggets came back and win Game 2 128-109.

That was just a crazy game.
I was watching the first half and in just the first quarter they scored 46 points.
I was thinking that must of been a record in a playoff game as in the regular season I think the raptors scored 44 in the first quarter in one game and they said that was the regular season record or tied it.
I don't think they scored the most points in a playoffs game because by the time the fourth quarter rolled around they had most of the players replaced for garbage time to finish off the remaining amount of time for the game.
Since they were well up by 30+ points.

Also heard some news during the game that the NBA will be starting a league in Africa in season.
Started by some former players such as Dikembe Mutombo & Luol Deng, Grant Hill and Junior Bridgeman.

Well, I guess I could say the Heat is done. The Bucks will have their full redemption this year after lossing to the Heat 4-1 in 2020 playoffs. Giannis and the Bucks will be aiming to eliminate them in the first round by sweeping the series.
Let's see the outcome on their 3rd match, If the Heat losses again then the chances of them being swept will ridiculously increase.

On the other hand, the NY Knicks fan base is ridiculous that even the NYC mayor wants to get involved with the NBA lol

Politics shouldn't interfere with sports I guess.

How about the Nets also having a 2-0 advantage against the Boston Celtics as they also had a good game tonight and blowing up the C's. I'm smelling a sweep as well in this series.

It seems that Boston has no offer to the fire power of the big 3. Joe Harris exploded with 25 points and a big 7 three points shoot to help established the lead in the first quarter. So let's see how Celtics are going to adjust in game 3, they really need to bring their A game, Tatum just had 9 points in this game.

LOL. That's okay. This proves the NBA is also entertaining even the politicians. It's better than last year.

I'll contribute the broom.
They have no answer for every offensive attack of the Nets. How can they even defend with 4 monsters in outside shooting?
It's just unfair. Now we know why Wizards gave away the 7th spot for the Celtics, it was an obvious strategy. With 76ers, they still have a slight chance to turn the game around rather than fighting fire with fire.

Davis and Lebron with dagger 3's to beat the Phoneix Suns and make it a 1-1 series. Good win by the Lakers but I would say that because CP3 didn't play that much in this contest, with just 23 minutes and 6 points, it could have been a different outcome down the stretch.

So Lakers stealing 1 in Phoenix and now they are going back home and with the momentum right now. Let's see if CP3 will play in game 3 to make the match more evenly.

That three coming from them and add the dunk of Caruso in the final seconds to seal the deal and win in Game 2 against the Suns.
For sure those who put their bets in Lakers are absolutely happy right now.

Its just good to see Drummond and Gasol in their rotation and giving them more minutes than the usual. The only problem is CP3 who didn't played that much. Probably his injury that he got in Game 1 affected his overall performance. It will be hard for the Lakers to come back if they are down 2-0 and good for them that they've adjusted in this game. Just hoping that either LBJ or AD will not injured all throughout the series.

Its all Nets along the way.
Harris' threes in the first quarter really made the Nets have a huge lead at the start of the first quarter. Its good to see the big three of the team having some chemistry at least now. If I'm not mistaken, the Celtics are one of the worst in defense while the Nets are one of the best in offense (correct me if I'm wrong) so I will not be surprised if this will end up 4-0
Looks like the Dallas Mavericks will end up their road game in 2-0 as they defeated the Clippers again 127-121. Games 3-4 will be at Dallas and they have a chance to sweep out the Clippers. 4 of the starters of Dallas are in double digits and it looks like they can't stop the Luka Magic .

Looks like this is a big upset of the century if ever that happened and the chance is so high since Porzingis and Luka are playing together in the court. This is a huge disrespect to Paul George because he was bragging before the Playoffs about his condition and it was not enough to win their first 2 games. they should at least win the next game because there are lots of fans who wanted to see them in the NBA finals as well but things are not going smoothly as they planned it right now.

Forget about Paul George, they choke last year so we shouldn't be surprised if the Dallas Mavericks will pull an upset here. They already dig a hole in 0-2 against Luka, it will be very difficult as they steal those games in their homecourt. I expect as sweep as well, and if that happens, there will be some big chances in Clippers, their superstars might request for a trade.

[Yaunfitda]

Seems that Ice Cube has predicted it to the tee:



This is a 2 year old video, his responds to Kawhi Leonard choosing Clippers over his Lakers.

Now it's haunting Leonard as they are down on the Dallas Mavericks series and losing two games at home.

I think both teams played pretty well. Luka just took things to a whole other level. As a team they shot over 50% from the three point line which will win you games most of the time. Both Paul and Leonard shot well and put up good numbers. The rest of their team wasn’t bad either. Luka is clearly the best player in this series though.

This time its good for Clippers to trade George since there duo is proven not working they choke for last year and its a shame if this will happen again to them this year maybe they should accumulate more good role player than a star. I myself expecting a sweep since Dallas are now owning the confidence compared to Clippers which is in questionable situation.

If sweep happened I agree that those stars will start asking for a trade after what happened to this 2 seasons together.

Luka and Porzingris combined gives a headache for the Clippers, they are performing well and they also involving every role players
who are with them inside the court, going home with 0-2 advantage , possible sweep or if in case that clippers tried to win back, they needed to keep playing  hard never to relax and give Clippers a momentum to bounce back and snatch this series from him.

[Distinctin]

I can't believe the Clippers are still choking. I thought they are an improved team this season but it looks like they are even worst than last season.

There are only a few teams who had won the series after getting down 2-0... can the Clippers be one of them?

[Ziskinberg]

Mavericks are not lucky, they have done it twice on the road so that means they are really good as a team and Clippers are a bad team.
I don't what's the problem, they have a lot of veterans and yet they struggle.

There are only a few teams who had won the series after getting down 2-0... can the Clippers be one of them?

We will see in game 3.. I'll bet on the Clippers in that game, if they will still lose, then end of the series. Better not expect they'll come back.

Correct. Now 2 games in Dallas and it will a big plus for the Mavs with the crowd on their side this time.
I can't even see what's lacking in the Clippers team. They almost have the best defenders in all positions in the league.
Kawhi, PG13, Pat Beverley, Morris, Rondo and Ibaka and yet they keep on losing. If this goes with a sweep it will be a big disappointment in 2 seasons.
Last year was already a mess, they should not let this one be the worst of their performance.

Could it be that the high expectations is what makes them perform bad?

[Yaunfitda]

I can't believe the Clippers are still choking. I thought they are an improved team this season but it looks like they are even worst than last season.

To be fair with Kahwi and Paul George, they play excellent ball, and shooting very good. It's that the bench team didn't provide any, it seems that they are watching the two and thinking it can bring them the win. While Luka and the Dallas team is scoring, it's really time for Kawhi to shutdown Luka next game.

There are only a few teams who had won the series after getting down 2-0... can the Clippers be one of them?

Kawhi and Toronto was one of them, if my memory serves me right, they are down against the Bucks 0-2 and then won the next 4 games.

You can't blame the bench, the coach is making the play, they just follow.
The problem fo the Clippers is their defense, they can't stop Luka, they put Beverly on Luka. lol.. .that will not work.

I think it's different because they loss in the road, here they loss at home.
