2024 NBA Season

[Kasabus]

We have an early game today: Los Angeles Clippers v Detroit Pistons. LA Clippers are a good team when we consider their current condition this season. But they haven't been very impressive lately as they lost three times in the last four weeks. But Pistons are far worse than them now. They lost 14 of their 18 games so far. They are really terrible and they will search for a way out in this game. Batum and Leonard are absent at Clippers. But I think they can still make use of Pistons' current condition and win it.

They'll win this game, LA Clippers are a good team at home, they win 8 of their 12 matches at home, so against the Piston, I don't think they will give the Piston a chance to make it a close game. Per betting line, Clippers are -11.5 to win, that's a heavy favorite there, so the chance is very high for them to win as experts are less likely to make mistakes.

edit, 62-40 is the score now in favor of the Clips. This is easy!

Yeah, great to have an early game.

I'll take the Clippers for this one any day of the week. They really have come together over the past ten games and made a name for themselves as a blue collar team even without the presence of Kawhi, which is certainly very impressive.

PG13 is also playing at an MVP level, which is definitely a huge bonus to the team.

There's still time if you would like to bet on this game, the game has not started yet I believe. Pistons with a bad record is also a bad team on the road, so as the Clippers needed a win to stay in the playoff race, they'll get this one easily for sure. This is not the Clippers vs Lakers game,it will be easy for the Clippers.

PG13 is also playing at an MVP level, which is definitely a huge bonus to the team.

No doubt about that, he has to play harder and better since Leonard is out, and probably will not come back this season.

Yeah, the Clippers probably won't have any problems with the Pistons. As for me, the upcoming Suns versus Knicks game should be more interesting, considering that the Suns have already won 14 matches in a row. However, it's worth noting that this game will be at MSG, and I wonder if the Knicks can stop them.

Looks like the Ben Simmons saga might not last too much longer.  He's reportedly spent all of his money and it is even rumored that he may need to start selling assets in order to pay his taxes this year...  Making the situation worse, the Sacramento Kings have stated that they will not trade Fox in any deal for Simmons.  That pretty much means they either have to take a subpar package of draft picks and bench players from the Kings, or they'll have to make some sort of a deal with the Warriors for Wiseman and whatever they can scrape together.

Maybe he did not realize it will happen, he is living an expensive life so he cannot sustain his lifestyle without money flowing in. So what is his decision now, will he finally play with the 76ers and just wait until the trade will finally happen? I mean, that's the only option left for him to survive and avoid selling his property to pay his tax obligation.

He should erase this in his mind and be professional and humble.

76ers' Ben Simmons no longer wants to play alongside Joel Embiid due to big man's playing style, per report

Phoenix Suns are gonna play the Knicks on the road.

Suns currently have the longest win streak in the NBA now with 14. What do you think, will they be able to continue the winning streak or the Knicks will stop that today? Share your thoughts as the Suns are in serious business now, they are playing with high confidence and everyone is doing their job to contribute.

I think that they're going to continue.

They're showing some good stats but as usual, this is just always going with the early of the season. When it's about to get near to the playoffs, they're falling shortly.

As a spurs fan, it is great to see Derozan finally getting the attention he deserves. He was great with us as well, even though he wasn't set with our young core and he was covering a position that could be better used for giving experience to young players since we wouldn't be able to achieve anything anyway, we always knew that he was a great player and provided so much for us. I am glad that he found home at Bulls and he is playing so well there, I would be very upset if he just didn't get anything done there.

Derozan is the type of player who goes against the wave of three point shooters in this era and play however he wants which makes things a bit more challenging for other teams to defend. Everyone is so used to covering the paint and perimeter that players like Derozan who can score from midrange gets great shots due to lack of defensive help.

I think the Suns can win against the Knicks even if this is going to be played in MSG.

As you have said, the Suns is riding on a longest winning steak so they want to continue with that. Although Knicks is a very good team, they've also very inconsistent lately, the only question is that if Suns are going to cover the spread, last game against the Cavs in their homecourt, it  was just a 5 point lead by the Sun. So I would say a good bet is like -3.5 to -4.5 for the Suns.

What do you mean Phoenix Suns are falling short when near playoffs?

Prior to playoffs, let's take the example of their last 32 games before the end of the 2020-21 NBA Season, their record is impressive, 24-8, and eventually reached the Finals later on. They are a big deal last season. If you are talking about previous seasons more, it's expected that they are not quite that impressive as they are rebuilding.

Low scoring game for Pistons vs. Clippers so far but LAC is already ahead by 20 points with under 5 minute remaining. I don't think Pistons can still turn that around as I don't anyone exploding to help them close the gap. Good to see distribution of points on the Clippers side.

Clips at ho.e are just too much for a team like the Pistons.  Big game tonight for the Knicks.  They have been shaky at home and a good Suns team coming into town.  A win here will go a long way for their confidence that they are a top tier team in the East.  They need a good win streak here.  Go knicks!

As expected early, Los Angeles Clippers has the advantage. The final score is 107-96 LAC. Impressive stat sheets they have. The majority of the Clippers roster contributes to the game. Paul George is even playing below his average.

Pistons are now downed to 4-15. They are being a practice team this season lol.

Some hilarious memes on twitter right now. Everyone is roasting Zion Williamson being now cleared for full basketball duties. They’re saying he’s out now due to thanksgiving to make fun of his massive weight gain. I just hope he doesn’t blow out his knees when he does come back carrying all that extra weight. I figured his weight issues would catch up to him quick because of his frame and age, but I hoped we’d get a good playoff run out of him first.

He should take that weight concern as a priority. Zion is still young and can easily work on that. As years will be passed by, it's now hard to reduce weight while doing regular practice. He is athletic at this current weight that's why I like to see how it will be improved more if he will lose weight.

Luka Doncic is also gaining weight. Too early for these young players to gain weight lol.

I don't care for all the additional slander, but that man needs to get in shape asap.

It's for his own good, and as you said, even if he is able to play for the Pels I wouldn't let him if I was management - just because of the added injury risk that is very real.

With all due respect, you get in shape to play basketball, not the other way around.

As a Bulls fan it's been pretty fun watching him get his career going with us, and learning what type of player he is all about.  Don't get me wrong, Demar comes with some of his negatives such as not so stellar defense and certainly isn't one of the leagues top 3 point shooters either.  That being said hid mid-range game is simply ridiculous.  When he gets going, he is automatic with that little fade away from 15ft.  Becomes such as silky smooth shooter. Actually watching him shoot a pair of free throws as I type this.  I am very glad to have him!

I hope this is not soon-to-be super bad news for the Memphis Grizzlies.
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/32722751/memphis-grizzlies-ja-morant-exits-apparent-leg-injury-first-quarter

Morant was hurt while dribbling the ball toward the paint, although there was no contact that appeared to cause the injury. He began to limp, passed the ball and then hobbled off the floor in the middle of the play.

He is the heart of the team and almost every play rotates around him. Losing a superstar like that for so many games will give the Grizzlies a hard time reaching a playoffs spot.
Looking forward to good news after they check him. The score now is 57 Grizzlies - 95 Hawks. and it's just 3rd quarter.

Another interesting game between Warriors and Trailblazers.

When you thought that the Warriors are going to close them up, Portland is coming up big in the 4th quarter and has cut the lead to 12 points already.

For us who bet on the handicap on the Warriors, still not safe. We really need to wait till the last minute. Portland are not giving up and won't give up easily.
