2024 NBA Season

[Baofeng]

I watched a great game. Nets stars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving made league history in the Nets-Magic match. The Nets stars became the first teammates to score over 50 points in consecutive matches. I think the duo will continue their outstanding performance in other matches as well.

But you have to see that Kyrie is not going to play a game in their homecourt because of his anti-vaxx stance. So they won't play together in the games left in the regular games and as far I can remember there are only 3 games left for Kyrie to play. It was really down to wire finished against the Mavs though, it seems that Spencer now is a perfect fit or complement to Luka, and Brunson too playing very well, but he will be a free agent and for sure Mavs may want him to stay.

He had a lot of problems because of the opposition to vaccination, I wish he didn't have such a thought. We've seen a lot of negative news, both with teammates and with the media.
Too bad he's only going to play 3 more games, the Nets really need this player. He won't be able to help the team in the games they need the most, I hope they can win the rest of the games

That's his decision though, and the Nets have accepted it up to now. But we don't know what will the future bring for them, if he will have to be traded or not because he is being paid to help the team but currently there is none except for games that he can play and then can't be like this till next season. Durant need someone to back him up specially if they wanted to bring a championship to the Nets franchise.

I'm not sure if other teams would be okay with the situation that a player will not be able to play in all the games, so if he will get traded, most likely not in the favor of the Nets. The only solution to that is either he gets vaccinated or the Brooklyn NY would allow players that are unvaccinated to play. However, we know it's not that easy to change the law of a state because it's for everyone, and not for a certain person only.

Usually happen though, the player being traded played good games against his former team and this proved it again.

I was able to watch the game this the second half, and for sure Spencer was really aggressive and was just driving into the basket against the rookie that was guarding him, So another good win for the Mavs.

It was an ugly lost for the Warriors.

That wasn't really a bad trade for anyone though. I mean I would get it if Simmons somehow gets better and plays better against Sixers because he obviously hates them.

But at the same time, Dwinwiddie was a player who Nets really liked, let him play when they weren't fighting for anything (not like they do now lol) and when Irving-Harden-Durant trio got there, they realized a player like Spencer would have to be let go so that he could play more minutes, he would have been wasted there and his potential would be gone. So he basically just got traded in order to find more minutes somewhere he would be needed more and that is good for both the teams and the player.

Stephen Curry didn't have a good game and stayed at only three points last night. He didn't play too much and also maybe he was rested in this game I don't know. But when he is like this, Golden State Warriors are having important problems on winning games. We saw its example against Boston Celtics last night. They lost to Celtics by 110-88. These teams were already really close to each other in terms of statistics. And bookmakers gave very close winning odds to them too. Celtics were really worth trying one's luck.

I agree, it is quite difficult to be the champion this season. I want Nets and Durant to be champions.
Durant and Irving talked about getting vaccinated, but Durant also supported his friend on this and expressed that he respected his decisions.
If covid is over next season, Irving can continue to be the star of the team without any problems

800+ daily cases average in New York in the past 7 days. Likely the restriction might be lifted soon. But of course, the law won't adjust for Kyrie Irving. The Nets are unstoppable if Irving is there. They surely are having a bit of thinking that what a waste of talent where Irving can't show it on their home games.

Once playoffs come, every game is important. Too bad that when Irving is highly needed, he won't be present.

Nets already move forward on that and take the risks.

[dwyane36]

If hope is no longer with Kyrie, better to bring Curry and Simmons to help Durant.

Durant and other Nets players shouldn't rely on Simmons' help. There are rumors that Ben hopes to play only a couple of games in this regular season, although I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't play at all. Even if Ben decides to return during the playoffs, it will be pointless because he won't have time to adapt after such a long break.

Curry is still out if I'm not mistaken, and Simmons seems to be day to day before he can actually play. I'm speculating that he will play before the regular season end, and it could be in their home court just to see how Ben is. If he shows some good sign then definitely he will be a big help come play off time to at least contribute unless the Nets doesn't have any plans for him this season.

Did you only look at the score? He wasn't rested. He was injured in the first half after he and Marcus Smart went for a loose ball.

Steph Curry will be out indefinitely after that left foot injury but some speculate that he could be back next month.

That is correct, it's not that Steph Curry has a bad game, he suffered a bad injury that will sideline him indefinitely and it's a bad news for the Warriors are they are trying to maintain that second spot in the West. But with that lost, the Memphis is not a full game ahead of them in the 2nd spot. But they are going to make the playoffs so that's good news and hopefully Steph will be available by that time.

It could all change as the Mavericks with Luka and Dinwiddie are pushing for more wins. Tied with the Jazz at 43 wins while the Warriors at 47. It's not that far with 13 games left for the Mavs.
But there is good news despite the sudden injury of Steph. Draymond is there and so is Klay. Wiggins might also be back soon after being ill.
There is also Wiseman who had been recalled from the G-League, he is playing 20 minutes per game there. GSW is not a one-man team, strength in numbers.

It's just the bad time to be injured but not totally worse since it's not really in the playoff games where they are against a team where they already lost two straight games. I'm sure he will gonna be better once they put him back in the court the only question is in that indefinite time of his absence. Let's just hope that it wasn't that serious and we can still see him with Klay competing in the Playoff like they used to.

No timetable yet on his return as per the latest update.

Stephen Curry injury update: Warriors star out indefinitely with sprained ligament in left foot

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is out indefinitely with a sprained ligament in his left foot, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania. X-rays after the Warriors' game against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday reportedly did not reveal any fractures or significant structural damage. Curry will see specialists, and there is optimism that he will be available when the playoffs begin, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramona Shelburne. 

Late in the second quarter at Chase Center, Marcus Smart collided with Curry as the Celtics guard dove on the floor for a loose ball. Curry had to check out of the game and did not return.

Let's just hope that nothing is serious here and that he can come back when he is needed most, and that is in the playoffs.
Warriors are already secured a playoff spot, so they just have to maintain that.

Blame that on Marcus smart, LOL.

The injury seemed no so serious as Curry was able to walk by himself to the locker room, for sure he will come back soon, maybe even before the playoffs. Warriors already sitting in comfortable ranking, so no pressure on Curry to force the return.

I don't think that we should blame him because even Green himself said in an interview that “I can't call it a dirty play". He said on that interview that it is "unnecessary" but nevertheless, Curry getting injured where playoffs is near is really a bad news. Now the Suns and the Warriors have an injured all-star player.
Here is the Interview BTW: LINK

Lets just hope for the best I think that he will come back before or during the playoffs.

Playoffs would be boring if the stars will not play.

We need to see Curry and Chris Paul in their uniform in the playoffs because that makes the playoffs more exciting and we will see a deserving team to win the playoffs. On the news that I read regarding their injury, it didn't say that they'll be out in the season, so we have to be optimistic that they will return soon.

GSW management expect Curry to be back on Playoffs so I think this will be fine as he can still recover at that timeline since he will set out at their remaining games. If Curry will totally miss this and came back late on playoffs then most provably his team will struggle and this is another unfortunate thing will happen again on their team this season. Hopefully we can see those stars back in action since they are the main flavor on playoffs.

There's no latest update yet regarding his injury, hopefully, it's not serious that he has to be out for awhile or will require a surgery.
They can't ruin this opportunity, they are now playing healthy with KT back in the lineup, so I would say they have a huge chance to return in the NBA Finals again.

They will struggle for sure, Klay Thompson and the rest of the players can't win, at least that's my own perspective only.

The Nets have only accepted Irving's decision about getting vaccinated because they have no other options about that as well, having Irving on their side even if he is only playing road games is already enough for them because Irving is really a valuable player. On the same matter, Irving cannot also help them while they are playing in home and that's the time that the Nets is mostly vulnerable as KD needs someone who can be reliable like Irving's caliber or his caliber.

Seeing the remaining 12 games of the Warriors, there will be 4 games where they are against the top teams like Memphis, Miami, Phoenix and Utah and with all of their remaining schedule, only 4 games will be played in their home and the rest will be on the road.

Losing Curry because of an injury is a big loss for the team but we have seen that all of them can score and shoot. You still have Thompson, Poole, Kuminga, Wiggins and other supporting players that can fill the role of Curry as a scorer. This isn't the same squad as few years ago where most of the offense of the team will be focusing on their star players. Now anybody can step up in every game and score 20 or 30 points. Anyway, seeing some articles that he might come back before the playoffs is a big relief for me as a Warrior fan. I would like to see the old big 3 of the Warriors in Curry, Thompson and Green play together.
