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.

That game was garbage.  I don't usually say the refs determined the outcome but they literally told Julius Randall that because of his size he doesn't get the same foul calls as smaller guys.  Seriously?  How can something be a foul for one and not a foul for someone else depending on body size lol.  That was terrible.  Zebras got to clean that up it's a bad look on them...

I also watched the game and up to the final buzzer, Randall is complaining something to the referee maybe it was the non call for him or something, but I didn't read about the referee telling Randall about that?

Anyhow, it looks like the ref did decide the outcome by calling a foul in the last 10 seconds and then giving 2 free throws.

Well, that's something that you've got to take into consideration as a player.

Refs aren't going to change the way they call games for decades just because of one player.

The Nets won the game fair and square and outplayed the Knicks. It's as simple as that.

So it's fair if a stronger guy gets hit and has to play through it and a smaller guy will get the foul call cause it affects them more?  How can refs take in consideration a players size to determine if it's a foul (which is what they said).  A foul is a foul is a foul.  Doesn't matter if it's on pee wee Herman or Shaq.  

And I watched the whole game it was terribly lopsided as far as fouls go.  You can look back I will say the Knicks played shitty and have never shyed away from it.  That game was terrible to watch, check it out. I watch every knick game whistle to whistle that was bad.

“They said that certain contact doesn’t affect me like it affects other players, that I’m stronger,” Randle said.

That's a bullshit answer for a non call, it should simply be "you didn't get fouled".

The Bucks vs Hornets was an intense game but Giannis in the last 5 seconds was unstoppable and managed to contest an easy layup that lead them to win the game by 2 points. They've been battling hard in the 4th quarter as their lead didn't reach double-digit because both teams are shooting well but at the end of the game, there will be only one winner so the lack of big man from Hornets cost them a lot this time cause no one can stop Giannis to get that easy layup.

The Ball brothers are also really feeling it now.

Giannis is clutch, man. In this day and age where everyone seems to only be defending the shot, he can get a lot of easy buckets just like how he got the game winner this time round.

Heck, the Hornets were nearly able to hit a half-court to save the game as well. Wild ending.

I agree with you here wheelz. The official should look at this deep in the tapes. They are getting hit and their shooting direction will still be changed once it's done so a call should be made.
Not just Shaq, Lebron, and Kawhi too. Because of their big bodies and lack of acting skills the referees seem to just let it go because they didn't react after the hit. The half-circle is their only ally or else it will be the other way for an offensive foul.

Yes sure! I believe this game between Suns vs GSW had an atypical result.

Well, if these two teams meet in the playoffs, I believe there is a great possibility that the Warriors will win.

The main reasons are: Klay probably will play, the Warriors are an experienced team (especially in the playoffs), another point that I highlight is that Curry, Klay and Green have a good chemistry, because they play together for a long time.

The only advantage I would say if this possibility occurs (GSW - Suns), is CP3 is a very experienced player, and possibly he will lead the Suns to the victory.

But I don't have doubt about the Suns, because they can beat the Warriors in the playoffs.
Last season they surprised me by making it to the finals.
But for that to happen, I believe that maybe the Warriors are short-handed, and the Suns, with all their healthy roster, including CP3, which has a history of playoff injuries.

Milwaukee Bucks played home against Charlotte Hornets last night and it was a game consisting high competition. Hornets showed a spectacular performance in the 1st quarter and ended it 41-25 ahead. But Bucks had no intention to back down of course and made up for this by showing an extra performance in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. And the 4th quarter was incredibly close that the quarter score was 30-30. But Milwaukee succeeded in defeating Hornets by a very close score like 127-125. And by this win, they have made their win streak 8 games. Giannis showed an incredible performance that he got 40 pts, 12 reb and 9 ast. It was a close call for a triple-double. Lamela Ball's superb performance of 36 pts, 5 reb, 9 ast wasn't enough for winning but I still appreciate the effort of each team very much.

I didn't watch the game but partially and I've seen Giannis from the second quarter when they are down by 10 points really trying his best to come back from that deficit. And surely, he really played monster on both defense and offense. They don't want to lose this game in their homecourt in front of the crowd. Reminds of the finals last year wherein Ayton can't stop him inside the middle. His stock for the MVP race has gone up with this performance again.

This is normal to Giannis since he always strive to win every game that's why every game of bucks is exciting to see because of his intensity of the game and only 1 point left he can get triple double for that game. But also lets give huge credit to Lamello ball since he was also have a good  performance for that match up imagine he score 36 points and that huge and didn't expect to to come since theirs Giannis and other defensive players on the Bucks.

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. Even if only Harden is very consistent, Nets can still get so many wins this season. But we shouldn't overlook Durant too of course. They are a great duo. And when both of them play at this level, Nets win their games easier than ever. This wasn't an easy one though but Harden and Durant's efforts still helped them win by a close point difference.

Last game Harden exploded for 30 points++ against the Knicks right? I guess he is already there, they already knew from the beginning that Irving is not going to play. But Harris got injured, another key player in their rotation as he is part of the starting five. I think Harden is just doing fine although we wanted some flash of him while he was in Houston, those step back dagger three's. But know he seems to be mellowing down to a pass more player for his stats.

He's stepping down, knowing that he is not the main man and with a lot of options

he is now passing the ball more than taking those shots, but we know him as a great star he can beat you whenever he chooses to attack,
that's how we are seeing him right now whole Kyrie still denying the vaccine, he is stepping to help KD in all possible way that he can contribute.

It's a great improvement if you are a fan, seeing the guy working hard to become a two-way player. I mean, not just a scoring machine, but also a good play-maker.

Harden will eventually master his role with his new team, we cannot see the same stats when he was still with the Rockets as one of the reasons is the change of rules in the NBA that his FTA has dropped a lot, he used to be the number in FTA but now it's not anymore. As long as Harden remains healthy, the Nets are still a team that has a high chance of winning the NBA championship this season.

He will eventually master that knowing he is willingly accept his role in NETS and also since Kyrie is gone he really help the team for what is currently lacking to them, I also think that coaching staff need to maximize the talent of harden and they will not make him as a passer only since for sure his ability to shoot more than 30 pts a game which he always do in rockets before can truly help them to win on their games.

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.

Hmmm... Thanks for this info mate, I have no idea that they will face against after a day off, and that time, it will be on the home court of the Warriors.  That's going to be an interesting game as I'm pretty sure Curry would not struggle twice in a row against the Suns.

Don't mention it.    I guess that Suns would be able to beat Pistons tonight. But I don't expect the same performance in the game vs Warriors. Curry would like to make up for his inadequate performance the last time. And I expect him to score 35 or above points this time. Suns should get prepared for a very tough game. Or the streak would end very easily.

The Suns have to get a good lead early so their starters could rest early, they will have a back to back game so it's important that they will pressure some energy for the big game with the Warriors. I'm so excited on how the Warriors will respond after their loss on the road against the Suns.

and you are right, Curry will not struggle again, at 35 is a realistic number.

Not a good one for Steph, but like how you predicting the next meet up he will excel and expect good numbers from him.

he will bounce back and perform, Sun can take the Piston and that' a no doubt they are more dominated than them, the team got much deeper bench.

Let's move on and wait till the next schedule for these two super teams to play again and see if there's a big difference that will happen from the last time met.

Curry will bounce back, he has been in many tougher games in the past and he was able to adjust after a bad game. It's not only him, the whole warriors roster has to adjust with the play that coach Steve Kerr will design for them, time for payback, Warriors will have their revenge soon.

Of course Curry will bounce back, everyone is allowed to have a so so game here and there, especially when you're the undisputed best shooter of all time.  Let's also not forget that the Warriors were undermanned and have been all year in which they were missing the arguably second greatest shooter of all time in Klay Thompson.  I can't wait to see the splash brother going at it together once again!

[Maslate]

I can't wait to see the splash brother going at it together once again!

Everyone is waiting for that moment, it was previously rumored that Thompson will return to the lineup early this month, so let's wait for that big news. In the game between the warriors and suns, what do you think about that, will the Warriors beat the Suns at home.?
