2024 NBA Season

[gagux123]

CP3 is playing like this is his final chance for a NBA championship. As long as he remains healthy, the Suns are going to be a contender. He is the heart and soul of this team, without him, I'm sure they are going to loss. Tough luck for Jokic, ejected for the flagrant foul, refs should have allow him to play since this is crucial for the Nuggets.

Will the Suns have a chance of beating the Clippers or Jazz?

Let's see, if they got one advantage, it is that they are fully rested and have been studying Clippers or Suns offense. For sure the coaching staff are scouting it and be ready for whatever any team are going to offer.

Yes, i agree with you!
I think after Jokic's expulsion, it "buried" the Nuggets' chances to win!
I think flagrant 2 was a very high penalty and I didn't see the reason. It was a foul and we can't deny it
We realized... the Nuggets missed Murray a lot

I support Suns and hope the team wins your first title. I have no doubt, CP3 will play like it was his last game in NBA, because for the career he had, CP3 deserves to retire with at least one ring

That hurt me a lot as a Nuggets fan. Flagrant 2 is just too much for a game 4 in the semis.
Inside NBA Shaq said: "All that flopping, stop it." I agree that there's a flop to sell the flagrant foul and the referees took the bait.
I think the Suns could win the championship this year thanks to their acting skills brought to them by no other than CP3.
They almost caught up with the lead at the last remaining minutes and that's without Jokic.

Anyway, congratulations to the Suns fans here.

[blockman]

I can't believe it... I'm surprised, I would never have imagined the Suns would beat Nuggets in 4-0.... and a few days ago, the Suns eliminate the Lakers who were one of the favorites teams to win this championship
CP3 and Booker scored over 70 points together.

Will the Suns have a chance of beating the Clippers or Jazz?

If they reach the conference finals, the Suns can make history, because Phoenix has only played 2 conference finals (correct me if I'm wrong)

They have. Those surprising beating that they've made are enough to remove our doubts with them. They've proved themselves enough and that's why I don't have my doubts with them anymore beating two good teams and I think they'll be giving any of those teams a hard time to win against them. A surprising sweep that they've made against Nuggest with the MVP on that team. Well, this is really surprising but they've just shown everyone what they can do and what we can expect with them. Whilst the other teams, Brooklyn and Bucks, they're now tied with a standing of 2-2.

This Utah vs Clippers game is about to get started. They’re showing highlight of Donovan Mitchell destroying the Clippers defense and showing how his stats match up against the Jazz greats. When it comes to the playoffs I’d have to agree, but the regular season career accomplishments of Stockton and Malone can’t be overlooked so easily. It does seem like when it comes to the postseason though, Spidey Mitchell is a top 5 player in the league.

Yes, I agree. He will be secured by the Jazz no matter what. It will be like a Westbrook story of OKC.

The Clippers might win this one. They found their communication in their defense where they are good at.
It's their strength but it took them 2 games before they realized it.
They should also abuse the time when Gobert is sitting on the bench. Attack the paint, don't settle for threes. Kawhi and Paul George can make and one's by doing that.

Clippers is having a good shooting game tonight,  most likely they will win their first game in this series and make it 1-2 still in favour of the Jazz.

But if they win here, and possible in the next game it will boil down to best of 3. Paul George and Kawhi Leonard already combine for 40 points, while Mitchell is the only one carrying the Utah with 23 points. 3rd quarter and still the lead for Clippers is 11.

They have a home court advantage on this game 3 that's why they have high morale to even the series. Kawhi and CP is always good on this kind of game that's Jazz might have a problem to close this series if ever this will go to game 7.


I parlay today, Clippers, Nets and Sun's so my comment is somehow bias. 

I recently saw that Bucks defeated Nets to tie the series. I'm so close to win my parlay. I never thought that Bucks will get the momentum of this series and Nets is now struggling to control bucks especially Giannis. Most of the first 5 of nets is not performing well since game 3. Game 5 will be do or die for nets.

The nets could have given the Bucks a good game if Irving was not injured, after he had a bad fall in the 2nd quarter, everything change in favor of the Bucks. We don't know the status of Irving yet but hopefully, Harden will come back in game 5 as that's a very important game for them.

Jokic clearly wound up and swung harder than necessary on that play. I think it was out of frustration. A really sad way to end an MVP season. It seemed really out of character as well. I hope we see a more reserved Jokic next season. I’d hate to think his MVP status has changed him into a dirty player.

[LogitechMouse]

Bucks made a good comeback and serie is tied now, 2-2. Nets still have home advantage though they blew a good advantage after 2-0. They should've gotten at least one game away, now this series is harder. Especially if they lose fifth game at home things might be very ugly for them. If Harden played tonight could it be different? Probably but we never know. Shoutout to Giannis Antetokounmpo though, he scored 34 points and most importantly when he is in court Bucks scored 29 points more. This is important stat because when you look at Nets superstar Durant you see -23 points. That was the main factor in tonight's game.

Now the Nets are in the worst situation right now because Harden is injured and will not play too in Game 5 and for sure Irving will not play too because of the Ankle Sprain.
Durant will be in the situation as to where LeBron is where he carried the Cavaliers team to the Finals. Lets not forget too that he got an injury 2 years ago and there is also a possibility that it will come back (I hope not or there will be no chance for the Nets to win).

Some are saying too that what Giannis did was a dirty play because he boxed out Kyrie which caused the sprain. Just watch the video and decide. On the other hand, Tucker is doing a very good job defending Durant and he limited him to just 9/25. Now the momentum shifted on this series already and the Nets are also undermanned. If Harden could play then he will be a big difference inside the court because of his abilities to either pass and shoot the ball.

There's no confirmation yet whether both will play or not, we might be surprised that we will see them in the lineup, game 5 is a very important game for the Nets because if they lose in this game, their series could be over in 6. This is good news for the Nets.

Crucial game and crucial decision for the Nets team. They needed either Harden or Irving to play next game because their chances are slim against the Bucks, which has all the momentum right now. Durant can't do it alone, Joe Harris and Blake Griffin are not providing any scoring help in the last 2 games. And the betting public knows that as the line might open as Bucks being the favourite game 5.

Joe Harris can't score well without a good point guard, he was only effective to the team because he has a lot of open looks, but without Irving and Harden, that would be difficult for the Nets. The inside game is dominated by the Bucks,  if Nets are not shooting well in the outside, then for sure Bucks would kill them in the boards and outside shooting.

He's a spot up shooter but unfortunately he cannot create his shot without any playmaker set there plays. Maybe he should adjust and upgrade that skill since its really needed especially now kyrie is injured also Harden still out of the game, Its hard for nets now to counter the bucks since for sure they will kill them inside the paint and they will grab the opportunity while their stars are out of the game.

Upgrade? That's unlikely to be seen on him, he is a pure 3 point shooter and with his skills, they will win if they have a good point guard, either Irving or Harden back in game 5, things will favor the Nets and they might get first at the top, but without both of them, Nets will be in danger.

I'm not putting any bet, for now, I'll wait for the update, maybe 30 minutes before the game I'll put my bet.
BTW, I lose my bet on the Nets today, so I'll win that back in game 5. 

[Yogee]

Refs owned the broom so they decided to sweep it.   Eject Jokic with flagrant 2? Wow! It's like killing the Nuggets team. I stopped watching after that. Kind of like a scripted scenery.

Flagrant 2 was a bit harsh and it was 1 at worse but to imply the game was rigged by the refs was uncalled for. Nuggets were already down at that point and Jokic was too careless. What was he thinking swinging down his arm like that?

Will the Suns have a chance of beating the Clippers or Jazz?

Yes unelss CP3 gets injured.

[boyptc]

Clippers should win this if they still want to catch up with Jazz in this series and thankfully they made it. Now they need to keep their nice strategy to give Jazz a hard battle.

No worries.

Clippers have won the third game. Standing is now 1-2 still in favor of Jazz. The next game is on Tuesday and we're going to see if they're going to tie the standing or Jazz will win the fourth game.

I am a little worried about Mitchell though. He went out with an ice pack in his foot and he might have hurt his ankle again.
He signs okay in the direction where I think his friends and family are sitting but who knows after the doctors check it.

It had been a good game because he was back even though Conley is still out.
Jordan Clarkson and Royce O'neale might not be enough to face the scoring capability of the Clippers. They really need "The Spider" to be back 100% like Games 1 & 2.

We're going to see it tomorrow.

I hope that everything's back in shape and both teams are going to have the full potential for each of their roster. Mitchell's foot probably is fine already and as what I've read.

He's ready for tomorrow's game.

Out of frustrations but looking from those replays, aside from that huge force that he put on it what we see are all ball,
 it should not be that harsh, they can sit him for 5 mins but not to send him out for the rest of the game,  

Nuggets is on the run before that flagrant and without their leading scorer to tower them up, the chance to recover from huge
lead is no longer possible.

Better luck next season, they already have a solid squad when Murray start playing with them. Rest for now Nuggets !

I think the call was just fair, Jokic was supposed to be a cool guy but he was really frustrated in that last sequence before he hit payne in the arms to foul.
There was an intention to hurt, I must say, so it was ruled as flagrant 2 which means ejected.

Will the Suns have a chance of beating the Clippers or Jazz?

Yes unless CP3 gets injured.

CP3 is very vital, he is 36 years old but he is still playing like his normal average, give the ball to him and he'll produce for the team.
However, maybe the defense could be more intense on him if the suns will face the Clippers as they have Beverly and other guys to defend him.

That was a hard swing from a bigger guy. It doesn't matter if it was all ball after hitting the man's face hehe. The "out of frustration" is what's puzzling me since they were only down by 8 points and it was only the third quarter.

...
However, maybe the defense could be more intense on him if the suns will face the Clippers as they have Beverly and other guys to defend him.

The screens set up at the 3-point line or beyond that is working well for CP3. It allows him to drive and drop 2 from his favorite spots. Their next opponent has to be quick to switch but I can see an alley-oop if CP3 is well guarded from that play hehe.

He (CP3) once again  playing in WCF, if his injuries permits him to keep playing and he's teammates continue to let him direct the game.
Sun have a good chance to win whoever they've met in the WCF finals, both have good defenders from Clippers, PG and Kawhai
while from The Jazz, Conley and Bojan or O'Neale  or even Mitchell can do the task.

Let's wait if whoever win the  series from the other side and see if how CP3 and Booker will take the next challenge.

That's one thing that goes against Joe Harris, yes he is the highest shooting percentage player, but he can't create his shot. He needs someone like Irving and Harden and a good screen to free him up. So in the first 2 games, the Nets did that exactly, so they didn't missed the services of Harden.

But now that they have lost 2 games in a row and probably Irving, I would say that maybe the Nets are in the panic mode right now. Probably they will see how game 5 will look like. If Irving didn't play and they lose, they there's no choice but either allow Irving to play even if he is not 100%.

Yeah Nets bowing out in the second round is not why they picked up these 3.  Shame they all can't stay on the court together because they would run almost any team off the court.  Kevin might be able to actually pull them through but if Harden and Kylie can't get back to normal they won't go to far that's for sure.
