2024 NBA Season

[Reid]

Lakers should not mess this up.
6 more minutes and the lead is cut to single digit from a 20 point lead. Close the game down in a good manner. They are expected to win this at +8.5.
If not, many gamblers will be losing their bets again.
Don't rely on outside shots, keep attacking the paint where they are good at especially WB and Lebron.

It's a win for the Lakers but there is so much wrong things that are happening.
Whenever they are settled with a double digit lead they will try shooting three's where they are not good at.
There's a minute (4 minutes left at the fourth) they scored 7 points thanks to using the rim attack. 2 lay ups from Lebron with one and1. 1 lay for WB.
That didn't even took a minute as I was looking at the clock there 3:12 left.
Their weakness is relaxing too much after a good lead.

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.

The old rivalry of better PG between Steph and CP3. Still lingering inside my minds those exchanges of uncle breakers.

Both are good and very competitive. The game between them will rely on how their support teammates will play.
I also like GSW to win to establish a good gap between number 1 and 2 from the west.

Looking forward to see another monstrous game from Curry and his gang! If only Klay is already there, that's really an interesting match up,
Klay- Booker and CP3-Steph!

Both teams are definitely a sucker for offense, DBook and his consistent midrange and Stephen Curry's limitless range, this match will determine on who's much better offensively and defensively, GSW and PHX ranks among the top 3 teams in defense, combine their offensive power and we just might see the best match this season. Placing my bets on GSW.

48 hours from now, the top 2 in the West will have a match and this might be a early sneak peak of what might be a Western Conference Finals . I mean they are the top 2 teams right now and the 3rd seeded Jazz are 5 games behind the Suns.  I will bet for GSW here not because I'm a fan of them (for a long time already) but because I think that they are still better in offense than the Suns. Though I want to see Suns' streak continues but I got a feeling that the Warriors will stop it .

The Warriors are really an unstoppable force.

Steph is playing out of his mind and making everyone around him so much better than they otherwise would be.

Wiggins has found a new life to revive his #1 pick career, and Jordan Poole seems like Michael Jordan out there. They are a serious contender.

Speaking of the GSW and some amazing performances. The Suns and GSW, two of the best performing team this season will clash on Thursday.
The Suns is on a 16-game winning streak. This could be interesting. If the GSW breaks the Phoenix Sun's winning streak, they could be the most dominant team in the West this season.
Nothing comes closer to these two teams so far early in this season.
Very interesting on how the bookies will set the spread and +/-.

That's a good one, the day after tomorrow we will see them clash. No odds for now yet but the Suns are playing at home so most likely they will be listed as the favorites to win. I'm not sure which team will win but I like the Warriors to give the Suns a hard time and stop their win streak.

According to https://www.actionnetwork.com/nba-game/golden-state-warriors-phoenix-suns/109517.

The odds are 50/50, so it's not hard to find which team to bet.
I'm sure most of the bettors would go for the Warriors but we cannot discount the greatness of the Suns as they are in a long win streak and they'll try to continue to make it alive and try to beat the Warriors. May the best team wins, but we should choose the team that we like to win, that's the fun in betting.

No doubt that there are more gamblers to put their money for GSW, but the defending West champ will do their best to compete.

It's really a good game to watch and bet, they are in the top 1 and 2 teams from the west and they are performing to keep on winning their games.

adding some spare money to add on your enjoyment while watching your favorite team. Best of luck!

I'm sure it will be a close game and a high-scoring game as both teams love to shoot the ball from 3 points spot. The defending champ has improved more this season and that active win streak is good evidence for their success. In this game, there's a good chance that their streak will be snapped by the Warriors but I'm sure they'll fight for it, so I'd say we should watch this game.

Let's consider they will not give their all but GSW ain't like that. They will try to dominate the game as much as possible with their new recruits.
I have just one question in my mind right now. What did Steve Kerr promise with these new guys that will make them play as better as Andrew Wiggins that is being paid more than them?
Is it a promise of being paid more when they are traded to a new team or is it a promise to be better paid in the same team when their skills are scouted by their own management? Sorry for being the curious type.

That would be nice for the Suns as they get the advantage if the odds are even.

As a bettor, we only need to choose whether the Suns will continue the win streak, or the hottest team now will beat the defending WCF champ. I'm saying that the Warriors are the hottest as they are the number in power rankings in week 7.

The Suns are next to the Warriors at number 2.

Los Angeles Lakers played home against Detroit Pistons this time and this was their second game against each other in only one week.    The first two quarters were quite competitive though. But Lakers were much better in the third quarter and earned a good advantage before the last quarter. And in the last quarter, I really appreciated Pistons' big effort to make a comeback. But it was still not enough and Lakers defeated them again by 110-106. J. Grant and Lebron James were in a big competition for being the most scorer of the game and Lebron won it.    He scored 33 points while J. Grant was scoring 32.

Both teams are doing very well. Golden State already has a very good squad, they have been among the strongest teams in the league for a long time. What really surprises me is that Phoenix Suns performs so well. I hope they can continue this season
The match to be played between the two teams may be one of the best matches of this year. I am looking forward to it, I will definitely watch it

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!

Knicks looked like complete trash last night.  I'm glad thibs finally let q grimes off the bench tonight.  The kid plays phenomenal defense for a rookie.  They need to start prioritizing defense again, they aren't an offensive powerhouse and can't rely on outscoring opponents.  Back to back on the road now against the Hawks tonight.  Could be in for an ugly game, gut check time for the Knicks.  They need this.

Big win for the Knicks Saturday night in Atlanta.  Knicks locked them down on defense and the young plays (IQ, obi, grimes) looked good.  Concerning how Randall can't seem to get his act together against them.  Could be trouble if the Knicks end up having to play them in the playoffs again. Think the next game against Atlanta is Christmas day.

Terrible news for Denver fans. Michael Porter Jr is having season ending back surgery. I was saying a few weeks ago this was going to be his breakout season, but much like his career so far, that will be ended by injury. A shame. Michael Porter Jr probably could have been a top 3 NBA player had he stayed healthy, but at this point it’s beginning to look like that day will never come.

I feel bad for him, maybe that was the reason for his struggle this season. Anyway, I hope he will be able to come back strong because I believe he is still young and he can do that, it's also painful for the Denver Nuggets because he was just extended with a huge contract this year and that happened.

The Warriors are really an unstoppable force.

Steph is playing out of his mind and making everyone around him so much better than they otherwise would be.

Wiggins has found a new life to revive his #1 pick career, and Jordan Poole seems like Michael Jordan out there. They are a serious contender.

So far when Wiggins played at wolves he was seen as a player who would be either first choice or ball handler or at worst second choice, and that put a lot of pressure on him. When he came to Warriors that changed, why? Because they have Curry and that means Curry attracts all the attention from the defense and that causes Wiggins to be a bit more open and he is good enough to be a star when he is not defended too carefully.

This is the reason why he got a lot better, not because his talents suddenly became better, but because for the first time in his career he is playing with someone who is attracting defenders around him and that means Wiggins could showcase his talents a lot better.

Wiggins doesn't have a good season right away with the Warriors, he needed time to adjust and blend with the chemistry of the team, and the time passed by, he was able to build good chemistry with the team and we are now seeing the results, so it's not really that Wiggins is the problem but probably the coaches of his previous teams.

Now that he is doing better, he could be more confident not to get traded and assures a renewal of contract once its current contract will expire.

There's no big difference in his stats if we look at https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/w/wiggian01.html.

However, the impact of his contribution is more evident this season as the Warriors has become the number 1 team in the NBA again, so we can appreciate his effort and most especially the management and coaching staff of the Warriors for creating a positive working relationship with the players making them show their true potential. Who would expect Poole to be so great this season? If not with the Warriors, we will not see he is a deadly shooter as well.
