2024 NBA Season

[OgNasty]

Giannis was on fire tonight.  His 29th career triple double and he dominated every minute he was on the floor.  He even ended his night by defending Kuzma who tried his best to put the moves on him before getting his shot swatted into the stands.  When Giannis is playing well, he really dominates a game and controls the pace.  Not enough people are talking about how much his passing has improved this year.  Last year it was clear he was working on his jump shot and this year it seems clear he's been working on his passing.  If he did manage to go to Golden State to play with Steph Curry somehow, I don't think it would even matter who the other 3 guys are...  They'd be a lock for the Finals every year.

After an almost 4 minutes drought by the Bulls in the 4th quarter, they buried the Orlando Magic with 10+ points after that and won the game tonight. The Rookie Ayo Dosunmu, managed to score crucial shots to secure their lead which make him the favorite player tonight. Orlando Magic almost have an upsetting win but they lost their rhythms by missing some crucial shots which might get their first lead in the 4th quarter.

^, Yes, I thought that the Bulls are going to lose the game because of that drought.

Luckily they also played good defense as the Magic misses a lot of shots and the Bulls making the best out of it. I guess the Bulls are back and there are a lot of happy bettors right now with that big win.

Interesting games on the Warriors vs Spurs, no Steph, but the Warriors are trying to hang on the game. Moses Moody having a break out game for the Warriors with 20 points already.

Impressed with Kuminga in the 4th quarter as he pushes the ball and even tie the score for the Warriors. Never heard of another 19 year Warrior rookie in Moody but the lights up too and shooting good 3 points.

And then Jordan Poole hitting the 3 in the corner to separate and have a good 2 point lead. And just play defense to escapee with a win against the Spurs.

You will really be amazed by these young bench players of the Warriors team. They just relied on the play given to them and even without their stars playing they managed to take home the win with perseverance.
I heard Candace Parker #NBAonTNT saying she was expecting them to lose. I also expected that. No Wiggins, Klay, Curry, and Draymond. Who will facilitate? But Jordan Poole, again at stepping up his game. He does this whenever an opportunity comes for more minutes, giving everything to let the Warriors fans know they really have the "strength in numbers".

Right, just shows how deep the Warriors are, even without their biggest players, someone step up like Jordan Poole, those 2 rookies and even D. Lee.

And that's what you love on Poole, he knows when to contribute if he is given minutes. And when Steph and Klay is back, he simply as just another option but he can deliver if needed.

They are undermanned and trailing as high as 17 in the 3rd quarter but they came back the Spurs, outscored them 35-16 in the 4th and win the game.
Kuminga and 4 other players scored double digits and if you are a Warriors fan (like me), you already know that him, Wiseman and Moody are the future faces of the league or maybe they will add some more in the future. With regards to Moody, he got drafted last year the same as Kuminga and I think he is the 14th overall pick correct me.

Aside from the win of the Warriors, the Suns also won their 11 straight win against the Nets with Irving and Harden. It seems like the Nets really need Durant to play because they are now 2-6 without him and now in a 5 game losing streak.

[diderdrogba]

Nets' bad performance in the first quarter caused them to lose against Suns by 121-111 last night. I was expecting a result like this though. In the absence of KD, Nets are having serious problems this season recently. They got their fifth consecutive loss and they have dropped to the sixth place in the standings. This is not good for them as they might go down to the area which they would have to play extra playoff games. KD is out for a long time and I hope that they can collect themselves until then.

I think they can make it to the 8th spot and avoid the extra game to be in the playoff.

But it's alarming that they are on a losing streak, KD is really the main guy of this time, not Harden and Kyrie as they can't bring any victories so far with the absence of KD. It was reported that he will be out 4-6 weeks so that's a lot of time. Nets needs some string of victories to stay afloat of the East division. But they have a tough sched, next will be the Kings, maybe they can get a win. But the next 2 is tough, against the Jazz and the Nuggets.

It's not just KD, this is also the result of having a star that is just being inserted in road games. It is not healthy for their bench players and even their first five. Plays will go messy and sometimes they won't even know what to do or who to obey and where the play should be.

Scary hard foul by Harrell to Giannis. It's not fun to see those type of plays specially when a guy is in mid-air. If you cannot reach him, just let it go and give him the deuce. Luckily, he was not hurt but what if he is? That could have been a shoulder injury or worst.
Bucks still won the game.

[jakdanyel]

I also think that the main problem of Nets is not being deprived of Kevin Durant these days. They still had Irving and Harden in this game in the end but they still couldn't get a win despite their great statistics. Their main problem might be that they have more than one leader player at the team. I mean that Durant, Irving and Harden all are leaders actually. Because of this, there is a conflict here and this causes them to get disappointing results also. If they have a solid starting five with only one leader, then maybe they can be much better than now and they would have a bigger chance for the title also.

[Oasisman]

What do you guys think about the NBA allstar starters?
There has been a debate erupted on social media whether Andrew Wiggins deserve the spot or not.
Most people says Devin Booker is a much deserving candidate in his position.
Though I'm not against it as Wiggins improved his game as he perfectly fits the GSW system. He's both an offensive and defensive threat.
While Booker is also equally as good as Wiggins.
What do you think about this?

It only shows how well the system Warriors have, star-less but managed to win with the help come from their young rookies.

They are ready taking their shots each time coach calls for them and allows them to play inside the court. A kind of gesture
a good player needs to have bringing out the best to pay the trust the management gave them after being hired to be part of the team.
You mentioned Poole and yes; he did his job well producing the lift that the team needs to win this game.

They can play well even without the superstar, that's the kind of team that is built by real teamwork, and they trust each other so everyone knows their roles in the game. Honestly, I wasn't expecting that they can beat the Spurs on the road without Curry and some other starters, but look what they did, they surprise us and they deserve the credit.

Indeed mate! This roster really works on their own without relying on their superstars and can contribute more if given a chance to drive the ball without hesitation because even if they're just a bench players, they can be a threat to everyone in the league right now. Seriously mate, the bettors were surely anxious because nobody was expecting that and who would have thought that the GSW's main players like Klay, Curry and Wiggins won't be available today.

This indicates that how good the management of Warriors is since their new guys and other roosters have confidence and know what to do in certain situations, there trust to their players paid off since we see them doing well even if they don't have their stars on their line up so for sure other teams are now threaten on their line up knowing how good they are this season so for seeing this I can say that they have good chance to reach to the finals.

I was pretty confident that my bulls would end up pulling the game off, but yeah there was a brief moment of wtf are we doing against the damn Orlando Magic. Truth be told tho the magic have actually done pretty decent vs the Bulls this season.

On another note it was awesome to see Ayo get picked for the rising stars futures game. No question he was the steal of the draft !

KD is expected to be unavailable in the games for more than a month after his MCL injury, so best guess is hopefully he'll be back in action somewhere in March. On the other hand, they still have Harden and Irving but only to play on the road games because he's not yet vaccinated and that right there is the reason why things mess up because their rotation will be different on the road and on homecourt. The Nets management should settle this matter at once because Irving is obliged to play both road games and homecourt and also get vaccinated because he signed a contract to them.

Giannis really felt that his ribs are hurting after that and I think Harrell should got ejected on the game after that incident because I think he purposely committed a flagrant foul, it was clear that he can't reach Giannis but he forced it.

Indeed, should've been a flagrant 2 but there's no broken bones and blood yet so they let it pass.  

The Nets management should settle this matter at once because Irving is obliged to play both road games and homecourt and also get vaccinated because he signed a contract to them.

I am glad something changed about Kyrie Irving like how respectful he is today but I do not think the belief about refusing the vaccination will ever change.

Their both good but like you said, but there was an improvement with Wiggins and suddenly became consistent in his games while Booker's game had been on and off. That's the difference and fans loved the change. Good change.

[Russlenat]

What a game! 76ers beat the Memphis Grizzlies in OT successfully without Embiid and stopped Ja Morant from doing his thing and I think it was the best defensive play I've ever seen in the NBA. Though he managed to pass the ball to his teammate, the shot was not successful forced a turned over and the 76ers closed the game with 3 points lead and +2 points in a buzzer-beater.

Tyrese Maxey played amazing!
It was a good match to watch for everyone. Sorry for the Grizzlies fans, it must be sad to lose the game after such a good game. Ja Morant and Desmond Bane had a combined total of over 70 points. But it wasn't enough to win.
We couldn't watch Joel Embiid in this game, but we didn't need it Philadelphia took the court with an incredible performance. Thanks to Drummund, Maxey and Harris we watched a very good game

I think that the Sixers already find a good point guard that will be a perfect for the team .

Just develop Maxey and trade Simmons. They don't need him. They need a PG that will be a good addition to the team and that is Maxey. That last play really is the game changer. That defensive play really saved the 76ers. Well for the Grizzlies fans out there, your team is playing well and most likely will enter the playoffs with at least in the top 4 (maybe). For Drummond, TBH I thought that he isn't a good fit for the team for some reasons but now I think that he has a contribution in every game and he is given more minutes than usual now that Embiid is out in some games.

The 76ers should let Ben Simmons go as it's not really healthy for the team anymore, it's time to put an end on the drama. Infact, they should focus more to help Maxey to be consisted in every game and find the rhythm among his teammates. I'm glad to see that Maxey made an impressive 33 points with 8 assists, indeed they made a good decision to make Maxey a part of the roster and his stats are also improving.
