2024 NBA Season

Missed that game, Lakers vs Sacramento, and I thought that Lakers are going to win, they lose it one big in triple overtime? Made me think that it's time to really make a chance in the line-up? We've been questioning the chemistry, but what can we do if the players are not gelling on each other and a supposedly winning game turns out to be their biggest lost this season?

A change to the lineup will result in a much worst situation in my own view. The lineup is already good. They should just find the missing link.

In that game, the Lakers just fell short but they are good. Let's give credit to what Sacramento Kings does. It's not with the Laker's chemistry problem why they won but the Kings did a great job on that game. Most of their players contribute to that winning against the Lakers. They should be the topic here, not the losing Lakers.

I believe there is a good chance that we could possibly see Lakers be at the bottom of playoff seeds or even play a play-in situation as well.

It's possible because they are currently ranked at number 7 now - https://www.espn.com/nba/standings
However, I think even if they are at the bottom, they are still a threat to the top seed as the 3 best players on the team have a good number of playoffs experience and they are very competitive especially during the playoffs, what I only hope is for them to remain healthy all the time.

Yeah.

Only having injuries is the one that will stop them going back at the top even if they go at the bottom. They got a good roster and it's going to depend on how they're going to be focused on each of their games.

They'll still be able to go up even if they fall in ranks.

Because I mentioned the play-in tournament on the previous page where the Lakers might possibly be opted-in again on that situation, out of curiosity, I search the web if there will be a play-in tournament this season as I thought it was just a temporary rule that started in the NBA bubble.

I now confirmed that there is a play-in tournament for this season. If no delays will happen, the estimated date was between April 12-15, 2022.

The sure candidate if no improvement happens, the Los Angeles Lakers lol.

Suns vs Nets game should be a good one.  The Suns have been on fire lately and the Nets are just starting to get into their groove.  I'd never bet against KD, but I think the Suns have a good shot to take this one home.  We'll see.  The game is on NBATV and starts in a couple of hours.  I didn't see anything else on the schedule for today that looked too exciting, but I'll have this one going in the background.  The real fireworks will be on Christmas day though.  I probably won't be able to be pulled from the TV once those games start.  I'm already looking forward to it...

2/13 from three point range. He should've give the ball to somebody else if they will focus on shooting threes.
Anyway, lets just say that he has a bad night that's why they lost and its unfortunate for them to see them playing like this knowing that they are a team filled with superstars and all-stars. I think its the age that hinders them because they are kinda slow affecting their defense.

Yeah, Lebron had a poor three-point shooting percentage throughout the match. Honestly, I also don't understand why he decided to make that three-point shot in the last seconds of the 4th quarter. I guess it would have been better if Lebron had just tried to make a layup at that moment.

the Suns who are in a 15 win streak with their win against the Knicks. The longest winning streak in the NBA is 33 by the 1971–72 Lakers. Well , the Suns are almost halfway to that .

The Suns' winning streak may be ended very soon, given that their opponents will be the Nets and Warriors in the next two games.

I think the other way. The Suns' 15 games winning hot streak will now be ended by the Brooklyn Nets.

Chicago Bulls vs Miami Heat is a good watch too. Both teams are now joining the Eastern Conference competition unlike before that you can just expect a strong Eastern Conference team that was on Rank 1-3. They are a big thing now.

Lakers vs Pistons on the other day. I want to see what will happen once Lebron and Stewart will meet eye to eye again. Since it's a drama, I think we will see them shaking their hands before the tip-off.

^^ The Suns though is in control of the game right now.

They've build a good lead, and it went as high as 18 points if I'm not mistaken. Booker has a good first quarter and they continue to do it in the second.  But the thing is that the Nets were able to cut down the lead to 10 right now, 46-56 at the break. So enough time for the Nets to turn things around, although I'm rooting for the Suns to win because I have a bet on them.

Actually they've cut it to 5 points in that second quarter. But the Suns responded back and build the lead to 10 again.

At the start of the 3rd, still the Suns though, extended it to 16 right now and it seems that they are not going to be stop. Time for Durant to step up the game now and not allow the Suns to build a comfortable lead going into the last quarter.

I'm rooting for the Suns today because I want them to stay undefeated until they faced the GSW on Dec 1 and that would be a game of the year since they are the current heavyweight in the western conference right now. The Suns are sinking threes in this fourth quarter causing the Nets to struggle to cut the lead not even to a single digit. Mc Gee is doing better in this team and he also got enough time to showcase his skills. Looks like the Suns are winning this game, time to watch the Heat vs Bulls looks like a close game.

Glad I didn’t put a whole bunch of coin down on this Chicago Bulls vs Miami Heat game. As a Bulls fan it’s been a bit difficult watching this game as most everyone is having a pretty poor shooting night. Luckily the Heats star player (and of course former Bull) Jimmy Butler isn’t having a great game himself.

It could be a preview of the Western conference finals for all we know. But it really depends on where the game will be held though, I haven't check the sched but this will be a great game on December 1.

Yes, the Suns kept their winning record, the Nets was able to cut the lead in the fourth, but we all know that the Suns knows how to protect a big lead and it was enough for them to salvage a 5 point win.

It was really a close between between the Bulls and the Heat, 5 minutes left and a tie score. But then Vincent and Lowry make there three's but the Bulls still try to come back but Jimmy Butler hits crucial shots. He isn't having a great game, but he was very instrumental on the win because of his assists. So good win for the Heat at the road against a tough Bulls.

Looking for the Suns vs GSW on Dec 1, this is gonna be huge and it will be on Phoenix homecourt so they will have the advantage here.

Yeah, they are surely lucky he is off night and just forcing his way to contribute for the team.
It's his presence that is helpful for the team. Someone who could lead them even though his shooting is not there. 6/15 FG and 0/4 outside shots.
Now the advantage of taking in Kyle Lowry is surfacing, he was signed by the Heat for this instances when one star is having a bad day/night.

What's the odds of the MVP race now? Is Chris Paul really on the top 5 now or did I read a bad article from NBA? He is averaging double double in assists and point and made a big impact that's why Suns is so strong now.

Another Lakers loss! Even the trio (LJ, AD and Westbrook) scoring above 20 points was not enough to beat the Kings.
Interestingly, Sacramento's reserve players played well, and everyone scored

ps: this is another game that Melo performed well, scored 16 points and played over 40 minutes.
Lately I see Melo is very consistent in this season's games!

In the Suns vs. Nets game, Phoenix won.
I was really surprised because I would imagine the Nets could beat the Suns quite easily.
Phoenix has 16 straight wins, let's see if they can beat the Warriors on Wednesday, despite the game being played in Arizona

Well... what do you think about this, guys?

That's because that game went to triple overtime and that was yesterday. Today Lakers had their rest and will be up against the Pistons tomorrow and then Kings again on December 1 and this time it will be in Sacramento Golden 1 Center.

The biggest scoop today is the Suns defeating the Nets and continuing their streak at 16 and there's the Heat with an intense game versus the Bulls.
I think the difference of the Suns is they can prevent making turnovers thanks to Chris Paul handling the ball. 20 for the Nets and only 12 for the Suns.

Quite disappointing for the Nets in today's game, Harden recording back-to-back turnovers, to those who actually tuned in to the game, he even got Nets fans booing at him for being sloppy with the ball, I really feel bad for KD, he can't carry the team on his own.

Kyrie is probably laughing because he chooses not to play and see how the Nets would do without him. Harden also is not as good as he was before, he needs to level up his game if he wants to help Durant, Suns is a hell of a team, there's no way they can stop the win streak if they'll play like that.

The game between the Nets vs Phoenix ended fairly tightly with the latter taking its 16th consecutive win! I am so excited for Tuesday since the Phoenix Suns will be facing the best team on the west, which is the Golden State Warriors. Currently, both teams have the same standings, with the exception of the Suns having 3 losses (17 wins both). We will now see a glimpse of the future- two teams battling for the playoff spot where they will be showcasing their team development and talent.

Personally, I am for GSW and my bets are with them throughout this season. I do hope that they are a playoff caliber team given the fact that they lack Klay and Wiseman on the offensive and defensive side but they still manage to come out on top.

With the current lineup and how they are playing, you can expect that they will be in the playoffs and they won't do an early exit. Although Thompson might come back soon we should not expect so high since he is coming from a long layoff and he might need more games to bring back his confidence again.

I love klay for being a 2-way player. If he's not converting, he will help with the defense.

The way GSW play now, it shows that everyone is playing according to their respective roles, it's not just Curry but the whole
squad are participating in winning the game, with the returned of Klay these dynamic duo will again tower the offense.

They are fully equipped lineup, everyone deserve to have some time playing and showcase their capabilities.

Competing for the title is not far to happen if GSW continues dominating the game.
