2024 NBA Season

[ChiBitCTy]

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 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 that game ended up close which I guess I could be happy about but man playing at home I would expect them to play a but better. One of the Bulls biggest glaring issues is not being a good 3 point shooting team. If I’m not mistaken they are at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to 3’s made.  We need a sharp shooter !

Yeah the Suns Warriors game is going to be lit !

They could've win that one in the first overtime If LeBron didn't take over too much. I mean he had the ball the whole time. He's shooting zero percent three point attempts, that could've been converted into a score If his teammates got involved with it.

What if he drained a shot on the gameplay? Lebron has no space for many people now. If he involved his teammate, others will say he should design gameplay for him and have the guts to shoot the ball. If he did not involve his teammates, others will say he should design a play for his teammates. He knows what he doing. Just unfortunate that the game went to triple overtime and they lose.

Well, If you were watching the game you'll probably understand what I meant. There's a time to take over and there's a time to give a good play for the teammates to get involved.
LeBron took too many of those three point attempts when he can actually bulldoze his way to the basket for a score or kick out pass.
Yeah I bet he knows what he's doing,
but it's not just unfortunate lossing to a team who has not made the playoffs for the last 15 years.
Their team quality is already in question, and most probably Frank Vogel might be in a hot seat lol.

They can still make the playoffs If they remain above .500
Let's see If Ariza and Nunn could stir the Lakers situation or not.
Yeah you're right there's still hope, besides the Lakers aren't fully healthy yet.

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?

It is mainly because AD is not playing that well. Right now he has averages as lowest as possible, in history of NBA (depending on shots taken) and that is just not acceptable from the second best player in the team. He is still getting shots up in numbers that would indicate he is a superstar, but he is not making them all that much, which means that results with horrible stats and inefficient shooting from Lakers.

Lebron is not what he used to be, westbrook is still getting to know the team, everything seems a little off in that team right now but the biggest problem is definitely AD. If they do not really get it together, I can see them eliminated at first round very easily.

I'm sorry mate but I don't agree with you that AD is the biggest problem of the LA Lakers. Stats don't like mate, maybe we can check again and compare it to the previous season without Westbrook yet.

^^ I agree, the most consistent player right now is AD in Lakers. While the rest is very inconsistent and then the turnovers are killing the Lakers chances of winning a ballgame. If they can manage to reduce their turnovers per game, for sure they will have a good chance to win those close game they have. Lebron James will always be the Lakers main guy and he will always take the last shot.

Westbrook is number 2 in most turnovers ranking this season, so I think he is the main problem if we are talking about turnovers as the main reason of their struggle. https://www.teamrankings.com/nba/player-stat/turnovers

Lebron James will always be the Lakers main guy and he will always take the last shot.

He has the freedom to take the last shot but sometimes he pass the ball if he feel pressured, IMO, he is not a good finisher.

Lebron is not what he used to be,

Lebron has only played 10 games this season, and he has scored an average of 25 points per game. Of course, he is not in his prime anymore, but it's still great stats for a 36-year-old player. By the way, the Lakers will play against the Pistons tonight, and I hope they will be able to win them.
p.s.
What do you think about Stewart? Will this guy try to take revenge on Lebron for that moment in the previous match?

[btc_angela]

Right, at least now we see where the problem is, the turnovers of Westbrook per game are killing the Lakers and not AD getting weaker or soft or Lebron making bad calls and bad shots.

If somewhat Westbrook can minimise his passing errors which are intercept now because players are anticipating that he is going to pass because of assists stats for his triple double. And then he is also missing a lot of shots, good looks but horrendous shooting form specially in 3 points wherein some teams are allowing him to take it.

I don't think he will do that stupid thing, he was already suspended for 2 games because of the incident, so he probably learn his lesson and be cool in this game if they want to win against the Lakers. I also want to see Lebron apologizing to Stewart as he was the one who started that fight.

Refs should be watching them carefully as Stewart does not believe that Lebron's elbow to his face was not intentional, so if he takes his revenge, we might see a brawl, hopefully not. here's the statement of Stewart.

“This is going to be my last time addressing it, I watched the film, me personally, like I said, I didn’t feel like it was an accident.”

Warriors and Clippers having a great matchup right now. Halftime and only 2 points separates them. Steph has been making some impressive highlights. I don’t believe it’s nationally televised so many people might have to wait for the highlights later but if you get CSBA then I’d recommend tuning in for a bit. It’s a good one.

An even game for GSW and LAC in the first half. Anyone watching? It's quite an okay performance for both PG and Steph but I expect both of them to explode in the second half. I'm leaning towards a GSW win since they have more "firepower" unless Bledsoe or Jackson does something.

You are right, GSW has a good run at the start of the 3rd quarter, with 11-2 in favor for the GSW, let's see if the Clippers will be able to respond from that run as when the Lakers are in a big lead, they will likely continue it until the 4th quarter and just dominate their opponent like that.

Curry already had 20 points now.

You're right, it's been quite an even game so far, although Clippers were in lead for a longer period of the half.

I don't think the Warriors would lose this game.

Kudos to Clippers for keeping it close. It remains a battle between PG and Steph so far but another big factor in this game is their respective shooting guards with Poole outperforming his counterpart Bledsoe. The game will be decided on who has a better support and that's GSW.

Let's enjoy the fourth quarter.

Kinda surprised that the Clipper kept things so close for as long as they did. In the end, and as much as I absolutely hate saying it /admitting it..the greatest shooter of all time prevailed per usual. I’ve just never been a huge fan of Curry’s personality but man he’s just unmatched shooting wise. Just wait till GSW get Klay!

And there were even fans in the sideline cheering for Steph every move and then you will hear 'ohh' and 'ahh'. Good defense by the Clippers initially, but bad execution, it's only George who keep the game close. But Jordan Poople and so some extend Porter who took the 3rd quarter with their 3 point shot and then Curry step up the plate in the 4th quarter to put that separation for good.

Steph Curry massacred the Clippers in the 4th quarter after the technical foul and even made fun out of it. 
Steve Ballmer should sue that referee because he lit the fire in Steph's game. Just kidding.  The big difference was the defense. Curry even made 6 steals for the whole game.
This guy really surprises us more. Last time he made 2 blocks in a game. It just proves he never stops with just 3 pointers and doing his best to avoid being a liability on the defensive end.
Now Steve Kerr can focus on their offense more. If you all remember, they do a switch in defense before whenever someone forces to match up with Curry. It won't be the same anymore.

And this two teams are know for their defense that's why the score is low and it's under. I think a great player such as Curry always find a way to ignite the competitive fire in himself. And so Steve Ballmer is the one who did that and as you can see he hit those 3's again. I'm not sure if he hits 6 or 7 in this game, but it was enough to put the dagger on the Clippers heart. He also has some good assists as well. Next up is the game that probably everyone is anticipating, GSW vs P. Suns, I will take GSW with handicap against Phoenix.

[Shamm]

Stephen Curry doing great against the clippers he carried his team to victory 105 to 90 but besides that George tried to beat the GSW, but in the fourth quarter, curry got back to back three points to lead.
