2024 NBA Season

^^ Maybe if GSW will lose again tonight, we might see Klay next game? No?

Still a lot of time though, but they are down against the Pacers, and only Steph is on the double digits scoring. It's weird to see them behind at the scoring. But we all know that they can explode in the 3rd quarter by 30-40 points. So still this will be entertaining to watch and see if they can bounce back after a tough lost against the Sixers last time.

They've just made a comeback in the second half causing the Pacers to lose this game. GSW is at a different level and most of the time this team in the NBA can come back when given enough time what more if they were given 24 more minutes. Steph Curry still didn't get the all-time 3pt record this time looks like it will be in their next game, that would be one of the greatest games for his career.

I think Klay Thompson will not play until Dec 25, that's what I heard before.

Did I watch the Warriors/Pacers game in Indianapolis or was that in San Francisco? The fans are expecting big time for Curry to reach the record breaking number that they forgot to root for their home team. 
A win for Golden State Warriors from a miracle shot by Looney.
2 more three points for Steph and obviously he will be doing it in New York, the Mecca of basketball at Madison Square Garden with a fully packed seat.

We're still in the regular season and it's not bad to appreciate greatness especially when you will witness live a new record that would probably last for a decade.


The Clippers looking impressive and outscoring the Suns in the first two quarters even if they're playing without PG. Phoenix has a better production from the bench so far though and that could turn the game around in the second half.

Yes, there's no official announcement yet as to when he will return, all we read are just speculation but it's positive speculation as it's back with the good basis that he is really now in good form. They don't have to rush things up, besides, GSW are doing fine and they will surely qualify for the playoffs.

Yeah...I even believe they do it to make GSW fans anxious lol (just kidding)

Anyway... with the official news we're getting, we can deduce that Thompson will be back soon!!

We've seen football matches getting postponed and some playing behind closed doors again due to the recent outbreak of another variant of Covid-19, but here we are in the NBA and it seems we might be heading towards that as well, we've got the next two matches of Chicago Bulls postponed due to Covid-19 health and safety protocols (10 of the Bulls players are said to be on the list).

Well, the Warriors have won against the Pacers with a 2 points difference (102-100) it was a close play the Pacers have lead the points for 2 quarters and then the GSW bounced back to recover the scores until the end of 4th quarter. It's a bit funny because the people are rooting to see another history by Steph, they forgot that they were there to cheer the Pacers 
Klay's return isn't scheduled yet as of this year, but I did read an article that it's only a matter of time before we can see him Play again, maybe as early as 1st quarter of 2022.

It seems like Phoenix Suns have started losing too.    Last night, they were the away team against Los Angeles Clippers and couldn't prevent a loss by 111-95. Marcus Morris had a big role in Clippers' win here by 24 points and 11 rebounds. And Clippers are having a really nice win streak recently like four games. Even though P. George was absent in the last three games, they still continued to win.

[Yogee]

I read a Jokic ejection and I think of shoving another guy but that was not the case against Wizards hehe. What are your thoughts on the tech call? Some comments I'm reading were the refs acting like untouchables. I didn't watch the game and couldn't find a youtube video showing how he complained to the ref so I couldn't tell if it was justified or not.

This is really a terrible situation. We were in a similar situation in the first times of this coronavirus. But after people started being vaccinated, the situation was getting under control day by day and we are watching the games even with supporters at the court now. But after this "Omicron" variant, things started going back to the old times again. I hope that we leave these days behind in a short time too.

Although the Warriors don't have an excellent squad (only Curry for me is a high level player), the GSW is playing very well, the team has chemistry and they are winning most of the games.... Unlike the Lakers, who unfortunately , having one of the best squad in the NBA today, he is still fighting for a playoff spot, with much lower performance than expected (I only did a GSW vs Lakers comparison)

If Klay Thompson returns like he was before and have chemistry with others players, I have no doubt the Warriors could be one of the favorites for this season's NBA title.

When you have a good leader like Curry, the players will follow and if they follow they will play better at every game.
Chemistry is one of the keys why the Warriors are at the top right now and maybe lets add their Coach and lets give him some credits on how he changed the Warriors since he became the coach of the team. This is why I'm always a Warrior fan. Since the start of the season even though they got new players in Bjelica, Porter, GPII and Rookies Kuminga and Moody, the chemistry has been built already.

Lakers?? They are having a good time right now winning 3 of their last 5 games and they are above 500 right now. Its because LBJ stepped up. He is doing almost the same as he is doing when he played in Cleveland where he always gets the ball, pass to his teammates etc. Maybe the chemistry is starting to build already with how they are playing right now but we don't know. We might see them winning games but we might see them losing consecutive ones in the future.

For now, we see only Stephen Curry doing the main job which is to help the team get wins by a huge performance. In the absence of Klay Thompson, Golden State Warriors have been depending on Curry nearly all the time. This is not very healthy for a team in NBA. Because if your star player gets injured, you will start having enormous problems to deal with. So I hope the rumours turn out to be true and we can see Klay Thompson starting to play officially.

Lossing a game is inevitable, but still you cannot deny the fact that the Phoenix Suns and the GSW are equally good teams currently in the NBA.
However, it's still too early to tell who's going to make it to the playoffs and who's not, because there could be a lot of changes that'll happen for some of the teams once trades happen.
I believe the Lakers have enough pieces  to trade for either Jeramy Grant or Ben Simmons, though they are still rumors but I think the Lakers can't retain and hold on to their current situation.

It's also that Booker has been missing in the line up and that is a big factor on Suns having not enough punch to win a game. They are playing away from him, and even if Paul George didn't play, the homecourt has all the advantage and that's what they did in the first quarter. Suns used to be a good team playing catch up, specially in the 3rd quarter.

But without Booker, it's hard to sustain their run and the Clippers take advantage of it.

I hope this is not soon-to-be super bad news for the Memphis Grizzlies.
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/32722751/memphis-grizzlies-ja-morant-exits-apparent-leg-injury-first-quarter

Morant was hurt while dribbling the ball toward the paint, although there was no contact that appeared to cause the injury. He began to limp, passed the ball and then hobbled off the floor in the middle of the play.

He is the heart of the team and almost every play rotates around him. Losing a superstar like that for so many games will give the Grizzlies a hard time reaching a playoffs spot.
Looking forward to good news after they check him. The score now is 57 Grizzlies - 95 Hawks. and it's just 3rd quarter.

And it's over, 132-100 a high scoring game for the night. Lucky for those who bet on the over in this game.

But it's unfortunate that Ja Morant will be injured again and I would say that if they lose him for the remainder of the season then they might be done. It was reported to be a left knee injury. So let's see how it goes, of course we wish him speedy recovery and hope that he can go and still play this season.

Awful to see him get injured again and by looking at him it seems that his injury prone player now, maybe its time for Grizzlies to find second option when Morant is out of the game since if they rely to much on him and incident like this will keep occuring in future then they might collapse and will not make it to their targets. I do hope for speedy recovery for Morant and want him back in action as early as he can.

Detroit Pistons are on an incredibly bad streak now and I guess that they are even getting close to breaking a consecutive loss record. They lost to Brooklyn Nets last night too and this was their 12th loss in a row. I really am curious about what is happening to this team. They lost by 104-116 in their home court and KD's performance was incredibly good. He got 51 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists. Harden was resting but KD still carried the team superbly.

KD is really known to be a great player in almost all sorts of role in the court that's why it's only natural for him to score that high. No matter what team he'd team-up, he will still be making his best to score and to catch up some leads, that's what makes him a candidate for MVP for almost every year.

Pistons has been buried so much since this season started, having that kind of record and consecutive losses is really tiring to see even for their own players. Their next game will be against Chicago Bulls, another much tougher team than them. I guess it'll be their 13th loss in a row.

Kevin Durant is definitely one of the best players of all-time. Whichever team he goes to in NBA, he continues to show an extraordinary performance. I have watched him at Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors and Brooklyn Nets so far. He is a rare talent in NBA history and I hope that he doesn't quit NBA in the near future. He is still 33 now and can play for long years. It is just awesome to watch KD, Curry and LeBron at the same time.

Two games of the Chicago Bulls will be postponed due to Covid-19 health and safety protocols.
Who are the players left to play the Lakers in December 20?

That left the Bulls with the eight available players, the league minimum to field a team. That list includes two players on two-way contracts in Devon Dotson and Tyler Cook, another signed to a 10-day contract last week in Alfonzo McKinnie, and rookie Marko Simonovic, who has played most of the season in the G League.

Good news is the postpone part. Bad news there is a next day game against the Rockets after the Lakers. 2 sure losses will be added in their record.
Not even sure if the stars will be back at December 23 versus the Raptors which might make it 3 losses if they are not permitted yet. Results of the test must be negative first before re-entry.

What do you expect? When Curry doesn't score that much, usually GSW losses. But when he is hot, then chances are they are going to win. But the win against the Pacer is very close. It not for that Looney miracle follow up, we might see an OT game and Curry might tie or break the record of Ray Allen. But in any case, he can still achieved it next game against the Knicks.

As what the announcer said, Looney at the right place at the right now.

And so they are going to face New York at MSG, so that will be a historic feat if Curry are going to break Allen's record at the Mecca of sports, New York.

For sure he will gun for this one, maybe we can see it happen in the first quarter alone.

And that's why it is a must watch game and witness the greatness of Curry again live.

Listened to Chicago sports radio on the way in to work this morning (actually listening to it right now on my way in) and heard a couple segments about the bulls and it certainly is a good thing they were able to get Adam
Silver to get them to postpone those two games. There are about half of those players on the list set to return by December 22nd and 23rd, but several players will be coming back after that, so the bulls will be on hurt mode for a little bit of time. Crazy to have 10 players in protocol!

Lakers need that trade if they can afford it. This current squad is not performing the way fans expect them to perform.

The chemistry among players is not jiving together. My own opinion, I like Simmons even he won't take the shot. There are many players

who can do that part. The coach can use him more for defense. He's good on. That, let Davis and LeBron to take more on their offense and other
role players who can step up when the team needed them.

Looking to see progress with this trade rumor, who knows? Maybe something is cooking behind while the league is  still in this early stage.
