2024 NBA Season

[dwyane36]

I agree, they should give THT more time on the floor, the kid has so much talent that the Lakers needs to take advantage of him. AD though was check, he can't even get the ball when the Bulls play small, he should post more, but the defence of the Bulls is ready against him.

THT played 37 minutes, and I think the Lakers will definitely use him more in upcoming matches, considering his performance. By the way, it seems to me that coach Vogel is still trying to find the optimal starting lineup while LeBron is injured. Although there are already rumors that Lebron probably might be able to play against the Celtics on Friday.

The Bulls definitely had the best offseason of any team in the NBA.  I really like the young talent they have and Derozan has been playing better than I can remember him ever playing...  I think they're right up there with the Bucks as a second tier eastern team behind the Nets.

Hate to spoil the party but I do think that eventually this will fizzle out.

They are lights out right now everywhere but eventually the high shooting clip will come to an end and DeRozan's inefficiencies will show again.

For now, they are definitely the most fun team to watch in the NBA. There is no debate about that.

They are definately in the top tier.  I was definately on the side that Zach lavine can't make it in the NBA early in his career.  I just thought he was an athletic dunker.  Dude has serious game and I got crazy respect for him.  He can wreck games. He is definately a 1.  And with ball derozen, big man who can stretch the floor and decent bodies off the bench it's not gonna fizzle.  They were never picked to be 1/2 in the East.  They will compete for 1/2 all year and probably slide into the 3-6 seeds in the division which is nothing to scoff at.

He has so much confidence now, specially his outside shooting.

I will have to prefer him to really just be an offensive weapon throughout his career as compare to be known as just a slam dunk champion and a good dunker.

DeRozan is also feeling it right now, in the last two games he big specially in this game. Definitely, they are playoff bound for this year. But we will see how will they do, if they can advance or not as they lack the experience.

Warriors vs Nets at halftime, It's been a really interesting game. Warriors are up by 5 points, both teams have done pretty well defensively but the scoreboard probably doesn't suggest that, however, to be honest the scoreboard is just a reflection of how good both teams can be on the break and get the bucket from beyond the arc. There were just 14 points or thereabout combined in almost the first 6 minutes of the 2nd Quarter, but the Quarter ended with 56.

Warriors build a 20+ lead in the 3rd, they are really a team that really blows their opponent on the 3rd and learn how to protect that lead.

Durant has been checked so far and there's no help except for Harden. And the Warriors are doing this really playing good defense and the crowd are stunned.

So let's see how the Nets are going to respond in the next 12 minutes of the game in the 4th. Otherwise, it will all be Warriors and going back to their winning ways again.

It's a blowout win for the GSW against the Nets where they managed to stretch up the lead until the late minutes of the 4th quarter. As days pass by, we will see more on the GSW as one of their best players "Klay Thompson" is about to enter the court to play again a few weeks from now. Looks like they will be back to dominate the entire league once again by beating these best teams in the NBA.

Right. He is on a different level now thanks to the Bulls management doing the trades to surround him with good players.
I think just the addition of Lonzo Ball is already a big impact for him. He never had a good pointguard to back him up and preserve his strength for other purposes before but instead, he was always exhausted doing it all. Now, he can focus on his shooting and maybe some attack to the rim and moving without the ball and aggressive offensively.
The 3rd-6th seed will definitely be an easy task for them.

No doubt, with how well they are performing right now, 3-6 seed is very doable. I like the way they played, sharing the ball well

and rotating to expose the open lane, Zach and DeRozan are very flexible. They can shoot outside but they also have the power to attack you inside,

Bulls hopefully will continue to stay fit and healthy, just don't want to see them breaking again the same way the management did to DRose, moving on

Let's enjoy how the troop entertains us..

It's a blowout win for the GSW against the Nets where they managed to stretch up the lead until the late minutes of the 4th quarter. As days pass by, we will see more on the GSW as one of their best players "Klay Thompson" is about to enter the court to play again a few weeks from now. Looks like they will be back to dominate the entire league once again by beating these best teams in the NBA.

Yes, there are news that Klay might be back soon so that makes the GSW team a complete roster again.

One thing that I would like to comment though, for me they seems to be lacking someone in the middle. Some of the best team in the West and East have good big guys, so maybe that's one thing that GSW will have to work very hard. Looney is there, but I would say that he will have a hard time let's say playing against the likes of Anthony Davis and Jokic or even Joel Embiid.

Maybe we will see another winning streak starting today with a big statement win against the Nets. They manage to really shutdown two of the best scorers in the game right now, Durant and Harden. Good defence by Lee and Payton Jr, specially Payton Jr, for sure we might see this kid getting defensive player of the year because of his quick hands, just like his pop.

Everyone is really exciting to see Klay Thompson back, again it will be a dangerous and scary GSW tea once the other half of the Splash brothers comes back.

This is the classic GSW that I love before they become champion. There 3s are very deadly with 2 different players are capable so it's hard to focus defense on it. I hope Klay condition is now good so that Steph can now have a good rest in every quarter. This is the current weakness of GSW, Once Curry is already showing fatigue on second quarter, they are easy to beat since they don't have any answer anymore on points given by the opponent team.

Looney must improve too and boost his mobility. He is very slow that's why he can't defend on strong forward player like Giannis and Embiid.

[Questat]

Didn't expect a blowout win for GSW, Curry showed his superiority against the best team in the East, he made 9/14 from beyond the arc and that's very impressive, there's should be no debate on who is the greatest shooter now, Curry is just on a different level this season.

Better luck next time Nets, bounce back if you ever meet again this season.

I just noticed the fans behind GSW's bench each time Curry's throwing the ball, that kind of reactions is very insulting for the Nets.

They are cheering for GSW and enjoying how Curry's cooking the Nets in front of their own crowd, just like seeing Dubnation in another
home court, we can't deny how good GSW right now, they are really showing big improvements.

in the next few weeks Klay may play and for sure it will add more firepower and defensive stop..

We saw a glimpse of a possible NBA Finals out there and obviously we know who will win between the two of them . Kidding .

Well, the years that the Warriors spent tanking and getting some good picks in the draft paid off. They got good picks (Wiseman, Kuminga and Moody) and they got some underrated players as well that can adopt the system of Coach Kerr. Players like Porter, Bjelica, Iggy are players who are playing very well with the team but they are underrated players. The good thing about the management is that they know how to pick players that can adopt to how the Warriors are playing. Just see their roster and most if not all of them can shoot threes plus they have a player who have one highlight dunk per game (Payton).

Take note that the Warriors' roster aren't playing yet. What if Klay and Wiseman comes back .

That was not a possible NBA Finals, maybe GSW will advance but the way the Nets played, I don't think they'll even win in the ECF. I have a feeling that Bucks will once again advance in the NBA Finals and I just hope that against a different opponent, probably the GSW as it's more interesting.

I love that guy (Payton). Even Poole is the one who really helping Curry and Wiggins in their offense, but that guy hyping the energy
of everyone, even those who still on the bench are always waiting for him to do his dunk.

Nice newly formed squad with the same core, Green, Iggy, Steph, Klay when he returned and Looney.

With all those added spices, GSW is really doing everything to keep impressing the Fans.

That is the definition of "like father like son".
Gary Payton sr. was an excellent defender and a good scorer as well. Not to mention his fancy passes.
While Gary Payton jr have possessed a very similar skills like his dad, but the difference is Payton Jr. has an electrifying dunks, one of the best high flyers of today's NBA era. He's a potential slamdunk competition candidate.
His defensive presence is very vital for the GSW team today. It seems like every piece of the GSW roster perfectly compliments to each other, thus making them a difficult team to beat.

Maybe they really prepared for this one, specially on how they are going to contained Durant and James Harden. And Steph bounce back from a dismal performance last game.

So it was indeed a very impressive GSW that shows today. And the usual team, scoring the bulk in the 3rd quarter wherein they put the separation and never look back. It was a total team effort, as everyone looks to play defense.

Yeah, he really got his father's DNA, hopefully though, it's not the swag and the trash talk, but the skills and his excellent skills as a defender. The different though is that Jr, has bounce, he can dunk over anyone if given the chance.

But he is being utilised for his defensive skills, but he is lefty and that's what makes him really unpredictable. Hopefully, he can stay in the league and has found his home in GSW.

Not even a fighting chance. I thought it was going to be a close game because Durant can answer Curry's madness in the 3 point line if ever he will.
But my expectation was not met and KD had a bad game 6/19 FG and 2/6 outside shots. That's a bad off night game for him.
Although, it's not just the difference between the 2 team. It's also the plays made by the Warriors that is difficult to stop. 
A well written play from the old playbook of Steve Kerr but Steve Nash seems to have a hard time stopping it. Congratulations to the Warriors team.
