2024 NBA Season

[dwyane36]

Lakers and Sixers on ESPN tonight...  Good basketball watching.  Hopefully Westbrook can continue his streak of decent games and they can squeak out a win vs Embiid and Harden.

It's an unlikely for Lakers to win since Lebron is out due to soreness in his left knee. It's also unfortunate for him since it appears he's really chasing this season's scoring title. Embiid should be able to close the gap in this game.

Every game is important for the Lakers right now, but you're probably right that they have no chance of winning without LeBron. By the way, the 76ers and Lakers already played against each other at the end of January. LeBron was also absent in that game, and the Lakers lost by 18 points. So we can expect that this time the result of the match will most likely be about the same.

It has been not much time since the Memphis - Brooklyn game started. Ja Morant is not able to play due to knee injury indeed. He is a big loss for Memphis here of course and I don't see their chance too high against Nets in this game. For Brooklyn, Irving and Durant both are playing now and I expect them to carry their team to the victory undoubtedly. I wonder especially about Irving's performance. Because he has been amazing for some time and had huge performances in several games. His 60-point performance in a game was incredible for example.

I know this has been mentioned before but let me say it again in light of the recent news on NY changing their vaccine mandate for the private sectors.

Sources: Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving will be cleared for home games as New York City will on Thursday change private sector vaccine mandate to allow exemption for athletes and entertainers in workplace. Unvaccinated Yankees and Mets players also now eligible for home games.

^ As you can see, we now have a date of when it will possibly happen. More on this here

This is definitely a welcome news for the Nets who is still trying to get an automatic playoff spot.

They are actually doing good so far with an 8-point lead. The real game usually starts in the second half though.

Kyrie Irving wins the battle. The pride he has shown is worth it lol.

The Nets will surely be happy about that as Kyrie will now be available anytime. Maintaining the playoffs spot is what they did while waiting for the green light from New York City to change restrictions against unvaccinated people playing within their premises.

The disadvantage of the Nets in the playoffs is now slowly fading. But unless it wasn't official, they should not hope for now. It's now official?

Still a very close fight between the Grizzlies and the Nets tonight, hard to see who will win. And even if Ja Morant didn't play Brooks is leading the way for the Grizzlies.

Irving as expected has another monster game, him and Durant are helping each other in this game. No surprised that they will win this game, but not expecting any blow out.

But they lost the game tonight, very high scoring game, Irving and Durant drop 43 and 35 respectively.

However, it was offset, by Brooks, Bane and Melton as 7 players scoring double digits for this big win by the Grizzlies even without Ja Morant on the line up.

How about that for the Warriors team? It amazed me with how they took over the game even though Klay and Green were sitting on the sidelines.
They played defense and make it to offense at high success rates. Jordan Poole got the hot hands early game while Wiggins made sure it will end with a bang.
Took a peek at the total stats and surprised it was not far of a difference. They just won with rebounds and freethrows. Good game.

[Coin_trader]

Gonna lay some hard bets against them while those 2 are out.  Should be easy money.

You nailed it, I missed the last two games but in their next game, I think I'm gonna follow you on that. They have a game tomorrow against the Heat, they are on a back to back, do you think the Heat would cover the -7 spread?

Yep, so long as dreymond is out heat will eat them up in the middle.  Will they cover and win some of the last 10 games maybe.  But my guess is that they will lose ATS more than they will cover.  Playing the long game.

I still don’t underestimate GSW even SC and Green will be out for the game since Klay Thompson and Poole can explode on tomorrow match since they are already more motivated due to there recent lose to MOrlando Magic. I will definitely don’t add them to my parlay especially for a -ve handicap. Maybe bet on live games during 2nd half is more appropriate to assess there performance then make decisions based on the current data at that particular moment. I still believe that Klay can still play like the old days, He still got the sharp 3s skills. He just need to become motivated and be confident again on his shot like before. Base on my observation, He sometimes hesitates when is shooting on his uncomfortable angle.

This is what I'm talking about for not betting against GSW even if Klay Thompson is out for that game against Heat. Jordan Poole lead the run while Andrew Wiggins and Kuminga are surprisingly very effective on todays game. I'm not expecting that they will win today so I bet with my typical +10.5 handicap for them. I didn't watch the match so I assume a much safe bet but a -10.5 GSW pick will surely give a huge odds to whoever pick this bet type. I believe many bettors got wrecked with the result since there's no Klay, Steph and Green in the GSW yet they beat top seed of the East with 14points advantage.

They managed to make a big run where they led in the 3rd up to 4th quarter and won the game nicely earlier. The Miami heat was at their worst since they're not following the instruction of their coach especially Jimmy Butler who wanted to make things right by himself but it didn't work last night which result to their loss. They need to get back on track because as they can see when they aren't performing well due to their ego, GSW Curry and Thompson less will easily beat them.

I was not surprised if the Warriors are going to win, what surprises me is the run they have to do in order to take the lead and increased it in the 4th quarter.

And we have been criticizing Wiggins in his last game, but it seems he get back on track in this games against a tough team with 22 points. Kuminga though played good as well as he is the only one keeping them in the game for the first 2 quarters.

Impressive win by the Warriors, the team does not have Thompson and Curry in this game and yet they beat a complete Miami Heat. I can't believe what I saw, it's just like the all star Heat playing the 2nd unit of the Warriors but they could not manage to dominate them.

Jordan Poole was very consistent in this game with 30 points, 7-13 from 3 point line, that as insane.

They lose. I didn't watch the entire game but just the highlights. The sad part is Grizzlies don't have Ja Morant and that's a big opportunity to claim one more win for the Brooklyn Nets as they need it badly. But hell, they let it slide just like that.
Thankfully, Kyrie Irving is now allowed to play in their home games and that includes New York Knicks game. That's the good news as they can still catch up and take a higher seed for 1 game win to the playoffs or better at a secured 6th spot. But they need to work their ass to make it happen, not like the result against the Grizzlies.

WOw! is this for real?

This is so timely, they need Irving to play every game because the Nets are in danger of missing the playoffs.
I guess this news is the biggest for the Nets fans, and it doesn't if they lose last night because I'm sure they'll always bounce back.

the news is legit, I find it here.

The Nets is most likely not gonna miss the playoffs, even If they fall at the 9th spot. They can beat the Raptors, Hornets, or the Hawks in the Play-in tournament.
Fortunately, Kyrie is now available to play both for home and road games. Just a few games before the playoffs starts.
If they remain healthy for the rest of the playoffs, they'll most probably gonna climb the ladder all the way to the finals.

Can Morant will able to do it soon?

We don't know if it will happen but I think that it will happen or at least Lebron will let it happen.

This is what's good with this Warriors team. They have no Steph, no Klay and no Green but can still get some wins against a top seeded team like Heat.
This also shows that anybody can step up with the team when their all star players aren't playing for some reasons. We've seen 4 players scored 20+ or more in the Warriors showing that they can still be a deadly team without their core players.

That's why I said it's timely because if they don't have Irving, they have a bigger chance of getting eliminated. Nets would be in the play-in, but I doubt their success is guaranteed if Irving would not be able to play the home games. That's only my personal opinion, so I could be wrong.

[Finestream]

We've seen 4 players scored 20+ or more in the Warriors showing that they can still be a deadly team without their core players.

It's their system that gave them the win, when the star players are not playing, there's no star player in the court and anyone could shoot the ball so the ball movement is very efficient leading to more open shots. Or, my theory is the Heat may not play it seriously as they are too overconfident they could beat the short-handed Warriors.

I do agree, it was really impressive that they have jump on the Miami Heat in their home court and beat them. A lot has step up in this game, Poole, Kuminga, Lee and Wiggins. And this time, they did shoot very well in the 3 points and that's what bring this win. Wiggins hit a crucial 3 in the corner and then Poole also made one and that is enough. Hopefully when Curry and Thompson goes back again, they will still be the same deadly team because it seems their chemistry has been interrupted or inconsistent.

No question about how talented these players are. You are right, it could be the chemistry that is the issue and if Thompson, Curry, and Green come back and they will struggle, that would clearly state that it's the legit reason.

When Curry alone leads the team, they seem to be more consistent, but when Thompson came back, that's when they start to struggle, so maybe the coach has to manage Thompson's minutes properly.

I really don't think that chemistry is any issue with this team.  I sure as heck don't think Thompsons minutes should be limited unless if he's still not 100% healthy.  Thompson is arguably the second greatest shooter of all time outside of Steph Curry, so they need to get him going.  Not to mention this is the regular season so they need to iron out any issues and get ready for the playoffs.  Losing a game here and there just isn't a very big deal right now still being several games up in 3rd place.  Of course it would be nice for them to get that 2 seed, but no the end of the world.
