2024 NBA Season

[ILuckyGuyI]

I was expecting Nets to bring the series to 2-0. But they got a really easy win especially in the second leg. Harden didn't play in both games but still Nets were really strong. I liked Blake Griffin also especially in the first game as he made a nice double-double. I wonder whether they will let Bucks get even one win in the series.

They should trade Porzingis to another team. Period.

IMO, I'll keep KP. He is still young and there's a lot of room for improvement.
Train him with Dirk or Dirk's mentor and perhaps it will help him grow his skills.

Well, if that is the case then give him one year if the Mavericks really wants him. He might be young and lots of room but his health and his injuries is preventing him to be a superstar that he wants to be. He has 3 years contract worth $101.5 Million in the Mavericks.
Now with regards to his trainer, training with Dirk would be awesome but that would be nonsense if you have a concerning health. His health is a big issue here that is why he can't be a second option in the team.

^^ I'm really surprised not by the Nets, but by the Bucks performance here. In paper it looks like they are a solid team as compare to like two years ago. I think Giannis has plateaued already and so is the team. And after the Nets win this series, a lot of decisions on management and players as well. To stay in this system or look for superstar players to complement Giannis (if he chooses to stay).

They have to win game 3 at their homecourt, otherwise this is moot. And if Harden's come back, will be difficult for the Bucks to win.

One of the best teams when it comes to defense but they can't stop the team who is one of the best in offense.
A complete domination by the Nets. They got a huge lead in the first quarter and they didn't look back ever since.

They can't stop KD. Holiday tried it, Tucker tried it and even Giannis tried it but no one stopped him. I can remember his crossover plus a foul with Giannis guarding him. Also Middleton isn't that explosive the whole game and he only has 17 points and Giannis has 18. The Bucks are in a huge hole right now and if they can't win in Game 3 in their home, this might be a more upset than the Bucks sweeping the Heat.

I was also shocked at how bad they lose against the Nets. This is not what we are expecting from the Bucks team who had made so many changes in their roster.
They have Jrue Holiday now and PJ Tucker who is good with his defense but I don't see the same performance as the season and 1st round.
Giannis, I feel like he is mentally blocked with what Griffin did at Game 1.
He may be doubting himself or afraid to commit an offensive foul that's why he ain't attacking the paint a lot.
Nets duo is also just skillful. They can shoot anywhere which makes them difficult to guard.

The Brooklyn Nets are just more dominant team than the Bucks, both in paper and gameplay.
The Nets has a lot of options. Kevin Durant rarely have an off night.
I'm expecting more improvements and changes from the Bucks team until they'll found players that'll completely compliments to Giannis style of play.

First, Kawhi is back to his kind of game and it's scary. It may the key for the Clippers taking over this series against the Jazz.
I won't say Mavericks didn't defend him well, he is just that good but he had his bad nights too. I want to think the PG13 could have the same come back as him just like before.
The Jazz on the other hand has Mitchell back and their chemistry didn't fade away even if he was gone for quite some time.
Both offense and defensive end are almost identical, the centers position will be the crucial part with Gobert versus Zubac.
That's is where Jazz have the upper hand.

No offense to the Nuggets and Suns but for me, the Clippers vs Jazz matchup is the WCF series. Whoever won this series will fight for the NBA trophy.

I've got a $200 bet offline for the Clippers to win the series as I think the Clippers have the advantage in terms of experience. The bookies have different things in mind as they put the Jazz a slight favorite to win the series.

The Mavs series might bring some confidence to the Clippers, their backs against the wall and yet they managed to pull that one off.

The Clippers will choke again like what they did last year in the Bubble.
Just kidding.

TBH its very hard to choose between these 2 teams. A top team which has 2 superstars and a good supporting cast Vs. 2 superstars too and a good supporting cast. The Jazz are almost the same as the Warriors where its raining threes on them. They are the top 1 for most three-pointers made per game in a single NBA season with 16.8 threes per game and that might be their tool in winning into this match up. Its hard but I think that the Jazz will win this in 6 games .

The only possibility that the Clippers will win into this is if Mitchell will injured. We know that he suffered an injury thus, he didn't play in the Game 1 against the Grizzlies.

What good thing about Jazz is they are a balance team now since even if their 1 player have a bad night there are other player can step up also their ball rotation is so nice thats why they get always the advantage and win the game. Wondering on what will happen to Clippers if Kawhi got a bad night? For sure they struggle sinxe their plays are always goes with their stars. If we talk aboht George yeah his strong but he can't carry a team so this is a big issue to them if kawhi is gone of  the game.

[boltz]

What happened with bucks last night ? I tell what happen. Nothing unusual because this was the play style of Bucks in this NBA season so I was not surprised at all to see Bucks losing to such a high points. If I may be honest , I think that if Harden would've played, the score would've been much much bigger and the shame would be on same level.

Now all that is left is Nets to destroy Bucks in 4-0. No one can stop Nets this year ...absolute no one.

I agree with your analysis, I think the crucial piece here is in the middle, Rudy Gobert. If Rudy can maintain his defense and not go into foul trouble, the Clippers will hesitant to go and penetrate. I think this is what coach Carlisle realised in their series that's why he started with Marjanovic and KP at the same time.

So this is a difficult match up to predict, we have to see game 1 first and then the subsequent adjustments by their respective coaches.

It wasn't really shocking that Nets won that game very easily without Harden because they basically had the same thing in the first game as well, Harden got out very early in the game and they played nearly the whole game without Harden, game was closer than this of course and wasn't a blow out, but this game they came in ready to play without Harden and that is what made the difference.

Bucks is a good team and all but every year they come in like they are the best team in the east at regular season and then at the playoffs they really do not play that well, they end up being a lot worse than everyone else, I am not saying play Giannis 48 minutes a game but if that is what will cover your difference, then maybe they should consider it, just keep Giannis and Kris in whole game, they are young they can take it, otherwise it is another second round exit for them by the looks of it.

Compared to Dallas, Jazz have a much deeper lineup, though like what you have said experienced wise clippers have a good edge.

It's interesting to see if how the coaches will adjust since both teams are really good in rotating the ball and finding the open man, Jazz will be lead by Mitchell and all the starters while  aside from PG and Leonard clippers needs more help from Jackson and Batum.

KD and Kyrie combo both are directing the game and they'll doing it so well, putting all their teammates involve and making sure that they are playing all

together. It's a good sign of leadership where you are showing your willingness to win the game.


Compared to Bucks, Giannis and Middleton is not producing the numbers that they've needed and the kind of leadership is not there to push the team to step up.

Coaching staff needs to find the way to prevent losing again @ game 3 or else Nets will sweep them out, Let Giannis and Middleton to play long and lift this team to avoid another  exit from this season.

...It seems though that Paul might have re-injured his shoulder, he is missing shots even close range and then opt to pass the ball.

I have not read any recent news about CP3's shoulder injury. I hope it's not serious if it was reinjured.

So again, this will be a close game, still 50/50 and hard to say who will make the mistakes and the other team taking advantage of it.

This could be over in five or six games with the Nuggets winning if Paul and Booker doesn't come up big. Joker is too good and I think they can adjust quickly for game 2 and beyond.

It looks like Paul was uncomfortable due to a sore shoulder in the first half of the last match. However, it didn't look serious because he had a great performance in the fourth quarter. Maybe he still needs more time to recover after injury, but I guess Paul will be fine for the next game.

He will be okay, but regardless, as long as his teammates are playing well, the Suns can win the series. However, I still like the Denver Nuggets to win, they had a bad game 1, they lose by a big margin but we've seen this kind of scenario many times already.

[Japinat]

What an exciting game 1 for Jazz vs Clippers.

The clippers will certainly give the Jazz a big problem here, Jazz maybe the number 1 but the Clippers are making a redemption this season. After a disappointing performance last season, they will make this season a big one and I'm betting on them to make that happen.

If the Clippers could take game 1, then I guess they will have a bigger chance to win the series

good luck.

Yes Kawhi is doing a outstanding job to make his team advance on 2nd round but what if he struggle to score inside the paint? For sure their team will struggle, if we talk about George yeah he's good but quite not enough to lift his team to win a game. On Jazz side they are well blend since everyone can step up but let see how they out perform each other as I am excited to watch the game later on.

Until the series is not yet over the chance to bounce back still possible, we can remember them beating the Clippers back then
making that historic come from behind win.

Though it's a different Nuggets without Murray, they need to work together and help each other to win.

Suns are more better after adding CP3 and he still making big plays that really lifting the team, just need to avoid some
unexpected accident to triggered his injuries. This series still far might possible to reach up to game 7. Good luck!
