2024 NBA Season

I guess that I would watch the Nets - Knicks game tonight. It seems to be like a delightful game to me. D. Rose's condition is still doubtful for this game. In case he plays, Knicks can fight back much better against Nets in this game. Otherwise, Nets are the overwhelming team here. With K. Durant and Harden especially, they would tear Knicks apart in my opinion. But we will see if I'm wrong or not.

DRose did play in this game, but Harden and Durant had a terrific game. But still the game is very close, 112-110, I thought that game will go into OT.

Fournier hit a 3 to tie the game, But Johnson was fouled next hit both free throws and Fournier missed a desperation 3.

Now let's watch the Suns vs GSW game.

Brooklyn Nets won and the highlight of the game is James Harden with a big putback dunk. After that, he celebrated like a demon possessed him and shook his body too fast the camera cannot even handle it.  
Good game and Knicks is not giving up until that buzzer sounds, if they only had more time then it could be a different ending.
KD and Harden lead the Nets in offense while surprisingly Alec Burks is the one who is on top for the Knicks.

It really was a very close game with lead switching very close to double digits for either side at intervals, but Knicks were really up and doing and despite going really down at the beginning of the 3rd with was it a 14-0 run ? (I can't remember), the momentum change and felt as the Nets would run away with an easy win but the Knicks worked themselves gradually back into game and would have deserved a chance at OT.


It's Halftime in the most anticipated game of the week and tbh honest, it's been nothing short of an interesting one, both team taking the game to each other, too bad for the Suns to lose Booker to what seemed to be an hamstring problem in 2nd quarter.

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

^ But they are still hanging on the game, very close for comfort as others say.

Warriors will run but then again Phoenix there to defend so it's a back and forth game and it's really hard to see who will remain on top. The Suns winning streak is on the line and the best record in the league as well. Best thing to happen to us is to see the game going into OT, LOL.

End of 3rd, 80-78 by Phoenix Suns.

Still a close game and we are in the 4th quarter now.

Curry has been struggling this game but this is 4th quarter, it's his time and for sure he will help his team to win.
Good luck to us, I'm a big Warriors fan and I like them to win this game.

[LogitechMouse]

That assist of Paul to Shamet for the dagger three to put the icing on the cake in the final minute of the game and they got the victory against the top seeded Warriors 104-96 and they tied their franchise record for longest winning streak at 17.

What is the reason why Warriors lost? Turnovers. They turned over the ball 22 times and they also got turnovers in the most crucial minutes of the game. Another reason is their defense. Curry is the top leading scorer right now but in this game, he only scored 12 points.

Lets take note also that Booker got a hamstring injury at the mid of the 2nd quarter and didn't return and still they got the victory. I rooted for the Warriors to win in this game but it seems that the Suns will continue their win streak .

[danherbias07]

I agree with what CP3 said about Coach Monty, respect for a sudden switch in their plays after losing Booker with a hamstring injury. That's not a simple thing to do and it worked.
What went right? GSW was prepared to bring everything to Booker in the defensive end, and they even go far by putting a box one play. But, Coach Monty switched to using DeAndre Ayton and Coach Kerr didn't expect that plus they don't have the ability to defend him without a big man.
Because of that, 24 points and 11 rebounds for the big man under the rim.
Off night for Steph Curry.

[Japinat]

Let's give credit to the Suns defense, and shot selection in this game.

They held the Warriors to less than 100 points and their 3 point shooting also dropped.
Curry struggle but Poole was there to rescue, unfortunately, the Suns had a lot of weapons, and they use their good ball movement to keep everyone from contributing to the team.

In fact, they got outrebounded by the Warriors but it wasn't enough to beat them.

Overall, it's a nice game, at least this gives us an idea of what to expect when these two teams will meet in the Playoffs.

[Kelvinid]

That was an amazing game by the SUns... Still on a winning streak now, since even the Warriors cannot beat them, I don't know anymore when their winning streak will be stopped, it seems like they are unstoppable now. Their next game will be against the Pistons, I think we can easily consider that still a win for them.

I have a question, fellas here, do you think that they'll break the longest winning streak in the NBA?

Here's the top 3.

1. Los Angeles Lakers, 1971-72: 33

2. Miami Heat, 2012-13: 27

3. Golden State Warriors, 2015-16: 24

17 straight wins (Suns). What an important and expressive number.
I hope the Suns can maintain that performance throughout the regular season.

But I believe there were some important factors in this game.
Curry and some GSW players didn't play very well and scored few points, while several Phoenix players scored and helped the team

That's normal, the losing team usually does not perform well, but don't worry, this is just one game, if ever they'll meet in the playoffs, we can surely see how the Warriors will adjust in a best of 7 series and for sure the Suns will adjust too. The Warriors had Curry struggling this game, but he will not struggle everytime they'll meet as the team will certainly make an adjustment to make Curry effective again.

Yup, as others have said, it was a disappointment night for Steph Curry. We are expecting him to really play good in this game because everything is on the line here. But it was his night and then the Suns has played a terrific defense as well to give them credit for that. I'm not sure when is the next game between the two, but the Warriors wanted to avenge that lost and Curry will redeem himself next time in their home court. Besides, the Phoenix Suns is the favourite to win here, but maybe some of us bet on Warriors to win the handicap at least.

Dwight Howard went off today for the Lakers. Finally they give him some minutes with LeBron out due to covid (he was vaccinated).  I’ve been saying he’s playing at a hall of fame level this year and it’s like nobody noticed. Glad to see him trending on twitter tonight and getting some respect now that he got the minutes to show up in the box scores.

[ziyaaa]

I wish I was able to watch the Brooklyn Nets vs New York Knicks game last night.    It seems to be a hell of a game. I was supporting Nets for this game and they made it by 112-110. Especially Harden had good stats like 34 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists. Durant followed him by 27 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists. They nearly missed making a triple-double and double-double.

Congratulations to you and the Nets.

If only Harden will continue to be consistent, I'm pretty sure the Nets will be a tough team to crack even without Irving.
The good thing about the Nets is that even if they are down at one point in the game, they still continue to play hard and recover and win the game.

Durant as expected will score a lot, but Harden is great last night as he had a big contribution too.

I agree with you on it. Even without Kyrie Irving, Nets are still showing a very solid performance as they are the conference leader now also. Harden - Durant duo is just doing a great job in most of the games they play. As long as one of them is not injured for a long period of time again, they would have a big chance for the final series and even the championship.

He is, Lakers are getting that help from him especially on the rim and I think he deserves that respect. I wonder if LeBron really tested positive and I guess that really makes some concerns not only for Lakers but to the whole, well, I hope not now that there's a new variant been discovered.

34 wins in a row? With the quality of teams from both the Eastern and Western conferences today, I doubt. The coach can try to rotate players and give rest to CP3 (who is their main man) to lessen the risk of injury in the next 10+ games but they just do not have enough depth to keep to the winning streak going. I would like to be proven wrong though.

I as well doubt they can break the longest winning streak. CP3 is indeed the most vital piece in this Phoenix Suns roster. Before he  went into this team, they are struggling and didn't even get the chance to get pass the round 1 in the playoffs. Now, even when they don't want CP3 to rest to keep the momentum going, I still doubt them breaking the longest winning streak. Maybe around 20 would be their longest, or not gonna make it to 20 because they have a back to back game and one of those opponents is GSW again.

I have just checked the statistics about this for Phoenix Suns. And I have seen that they have a 17-win streak now which is just incredible. They are just like unstoppable for now and they even defeated Golden State Warriors the last time. They are on fire! But even though they beat Detroit Pistons too, I think that Warriors will avenge that loss right after the Pistons game.
