2024 NBA Season

[Sanitough]

Forget about the Irving controversy.

let's talk about the games last night, Warriors again lose their game, they are in a cold streak now and I don't know when it will stop. It seems like their struggle is really serious because most of the losses are not even close. By the way, Jazz bounce back again by beating the Lakers, and Blazers upset the Suns at home, that's without their best player Lillard.

Can't trust the Warriors now, they are not the same team as they usually bounce back everytime they lose, but now, it seemed like losing has become their habit now. LOL.... Anyway, I guess I have to wait until they fully recovered, not getting into the trap until they start winning again.

By the way, Jazz bounce back again by beating the Lakers, and Blazers upset the Suns at home, that's without their best player Lillard.

Jazz winning is no surprise at all, Lakers were expose again and that would only prove to the doubters that the Jazz is really a good team this season. Also, Blazers upset the Suns, maybe they'll do it again.

Yeah, I stir away from Warriors right now, 2 loses and I'm done with them. Unless they win maybe I will put a bet.

Yes, good games by the Blazers and the Suns, I haven't seen the whole game, but when I check the score, it was the Suns leading and I thought that they are going to win. But then the Blazers executed a perfect inbound pass, and then Jeremi Grant hit the winner in front of the Suns bench, that's really dagger.

Good win by the Jazz to snap the Lakers 2 game winning run.

But then the Blazers executed a perfect inbound pass, and then Jeremi Grant hit the winner in front of the Suns bench, that's really dagger.

The game was tied before the winning shot of Jeremi Grant, good for them because if that game went to OT, Suns could take advantage and they'll win the game. It was a nice game, I think the Blazers have really improved because even without Lillard, that does not give them a problem being competitive, I'm pretty sure Lillard is happy with the performance of his teammates, especially for Grant who had 30 points and a winning shot.

Warriors is struggling so much early of this season and it seems they really get a hard time to work with their piece this season since its like they are losing their defense and they are relaxing to much that's why they lose so many of their games this season.

I'm quite surprised about the result and for sure lebron to because he don't expect to see for his self how good the rooster of Jazz is. And also for sure Lakers regret because they let go of Clarkson which is doing so good in Jazz now.

[Japinat]

But, the really starts when 2nd half starts, it was the Magic patience and determination that keeps them alive and really steps up
to even the game in the last few minutes of the game.

I really like how the Orlando Magic played them last night ang they don't seem to care that their opponent are the depending champion. They managed to execute great play throughout the last minutes and they won the game. GSW was also doing good and they were sinking threes as well but it's not enough since it was the Magic night.

No pressure from this team because they don't have a superstar, I mean they are a young team, and winning against the depending champ makes them confident going forward. Warriors are struggling, they have a serious problem now, this is by far the longest losing streak I witness from this team.

They're by far the worst with the start of the season just like with the Lakers but now we're seeing progress as they beat the defending champion. I think for the Warriors that Green-Poole drama plus that Klay with Booker was just a few to mention that may take a toll on this struggle but they'll bounce back after this. I'm sure with that.

Well, they did not as they lost the game for the 5th time on their five straight road games but on this game, they can somehow make an excuse because Curry, Thompson and Wiggins didn't play to rest and to heal their respective injuries. The guys on the 2nd squad with Poole are the ones who faced Zion, Ingram and McCollum. It was a fun game and it was just a 5 point game, not bad for the guys on the second squad against the NOP.

[stadus]

Well, they seem got a hold of it because they manage to defeat the New Orleans Pelicans earlier today. It was a crazy game but it's undeniable that the Lakers is quite different now and Westbrook already got used to his role as he keeps on laying the table for his teammate to score. Pelicans was shocked as the gaps of their score becomes wider as the first half finished, they managed to chase the Lakers in the 2nd half but Lakers was so determined to put a win today.

The Lakers were on the verge of defeat and Matt Ryan saved the team from another defeat, it was cool. The match was difficult, at first it seemed (especially in the second quarter) that Laker would win confidently, but then New Orleans began to regain their positions. If Dyson Daniels had hit even one shot, then Laker would have had no chance, but he missed twice.

Those two missed shots on the 4th quarter somehow dictated the game, the Pelicans are too loose on their defense just because they are leading the game, they didn't even bother to rebound the ball or poke it that is why Lebron managed to get it easily and called a time-out. That fact right there made the Pelicans lost the game, even if they reached an OT. They underestimated the Lakers.

Here is my pick for tomorrow's game

Orlando Magic VS Sacramento Kings

The stake odds for this game are 2.35 for the Magic and 1.63 for the Sacramento Kings, It seems this is a close game, and right now the Orlando Magic is just getting started and just adjusting and their new players are still adjusting to their play style, for me, I think I would risk it with the Orlando Magic,

New York Knicks VS Boston Celtics

The stake odds for this game are 2.45 for the Knicks and 1.58 for the Celtics, Right now the Celtics are doing awesome, while the Knicks is settling down in the middle, but for me, I am sure the Celtics are my 2nd favorite team, so my pick is the Celtics,

Atlanta Hawks VS New Orleans Pelicans

The stake odds for this game are 1.86 for the Hawks and 1.99 for the Pelicans, right now Trae Young is questionable if he can play because of an eye injury, while Bogdan Bogdanovic has a knee injury and can not play until November 7, so my pick is the Pelicans,

Milwaukee Bucks VS Oklahoma City Thunder

The stake odds for this game are 1.32 for the Bucks and 3.50 for the Thunders, Right now the Bucks are at the top of the Eastern Conference and don't have any losses yet, I think this is a good enough excuse in getting the Bucks as a pick for the bet,

[jakelyson]

Warriors are playing in a relax mode right now and to be perfectly honest it has been not even 10 games since the season started.

So you are saying that because the Warriors are relaxed, we will disregard the reasons why they lose on some of their games?

I know this is just a season game and different from the pressure of playoffs game but saying the Warriors are just relaxing is discrediting those teams who beat them, especially with the previous one, Orlando Magic.

Being relaxed is not in the vocabulary of the whole Golden State Warriors. They lose because of a problem and that's what they need to figured out.

Yeah, that is a complete disrespect to the effort of the teams that beat GSW this season. I do not think any team in NBA is taking it easy or feel relaxed on games. The competition is very high and even lower teams can give good competition against top teams. If you relax, even if you are the top team, other teams will roll over you and you may find yourself in a difficult situation comes playoffs.

.... who happen to just not have the chemistry they so famously had so far

I don't get this. Did I miss some big trades that would make GSW look like a new team? They are practically the same team that won the league last season as far as I know.

I think everyone agrees that they're a great team. They'll probably be in the top 5 by the end of the year.

They are a great team, but they are lacking defense right now. They let go of GP2 this season so the defense that comes from him has to be filled up right now. And their bench is not quite what they have last year. Maybe a few more games and the bench players will be able to help them like how the bench players helped them get a championship last season.

They lose GPII, Bjelica and Otto Porter Jr.
TBH, they are their best role players last year. GPII and Porter is very good at defense and Bjelica is their reserved big.

Losing these 3 players might affect the chemistry of the team IMO because they are playing huge minutes last year. They didn't make some big trades last off-season but for me, I'm thinking that they are experimenting their young players for the future of the team thus, there are times that they are losing, or their core players aren't playing for some reasons. As for them being a great team, they are still, and we are seeing Curry doing Curry things. Shooting threes and had a triple double. Their core players are still there, and some players are added to it. I still believe that they will enter the playoffs despite of their bad start and I don't see them not in the playoffs.

[Vaculin]

Their offense no doubt is still there with Steph Curry, but something has change regarding their defense this season. I think Steve Kerr knows this and for sure they wanted to snap that losing streak and take a win.

It's also unusual to see that the Golden State Warriors gave up that many points against a considered low-tier team. Defense is really the problem as Orlando Magic does even have a below-100 average total per game. The odds might be impressive at that time for the Magic when they are down by over 10+ points almost the entire game.

Really surprising to see those low-tier teams upsetting those dominant teams but still, when playoffs came, all eligible teams will start at 0-0 standing.

Those who placed their bets live or before the game started towards the Magic are quite lucky, I bet those odds are so juicy and because nobody could really tell that the Magic can shift the table and in the game with just a point shy away from the defending champions. Anyway, that's good for the Magic because defeating the Warriors is a big deal for them as it will lift their morals high and give a boost to their confidence as well.

[mirakal]

Looks like I'm not the only one who expect Warriors to win this game.

Include me on that list mate Of course, nobody would expect that the Warriors will lose a game versus the Magic today. It's already proven throughout the time that Warriors is much difficult to defeat especially in this game that they have the edge against the opposing team, I don't know what's wrong with them because recently, it looks like that they really struggling. Just my thought tho, maybe their locker room is now different than what they've been used to.

Warriors lose with a single point and snatch from an underdog Magic team.

Not sure about the reason, but they needed to figure it out as fans will start to question them, and for sure haters and critics
will start to come up just like how it was with Lakers and Nets. As early as now, Warriors need to work it out, maybe the locker
room has something that will boost them if they will find the old ways and bring that talk into good executions.

That is if their locker room can give them some boost of what they need because if their locker room is now toxic then that may be the reason why their plays and performance are quite different since the season started, Curry is still have a hot hands but it is not enough. We know that the Warriors are surrounded by issues even before the season started and there's this Booker-Klay confrontation.

[wheelz1200]

Big win by the Knicks coming down from double digits against the sixers.  Sixers were short handed but a win is a win.  Some big minutes from cam and obi, hopefully they can carry that momentum into Boston tonight.

I see your point and it will be a big or tough test for coach Kerr and there with the Warriors managements they need to work
as one and forget about those dramas.

They need to act as professionals and it should need to start reflecting on their games,
all those issues do have the right place to discuss, but once they are inside the court they
need to perform that has one goal, nothing but to win the game.

There definitely seems to be something going on with the Warriors.  They're the first defending champions to ever start off the season 0-6 on the road.  This in contrast to the Bucks, who are 8-0 now this season and tearing it up.  So I guess the gambling game now is betting when the Warriors are going to get their first road win and when the Bucks are going to lose their first game.  I always love a good winning streak, so I hope Giannis takes this 8-0 start and turns it into something historical.  A pretty amazing accomplishment considering his number 2 guy is still out with injuries. 

[Kasabus]

Defense, they played very poor defense in the second half, they allow a lot of second chance points for the Magic.  They can't get the rebound even in the free throw and then they commit useless foul.

Their offense no doubt is still there with Steph Curry, but something has change regarding their defense this season. I think Steve Kerr knows this and for sure they wanted to snap that losing streak and take a win.

Yeah, I noticed that too. They do not have GPII which is a very good defender coming from the bench. That guy is good in offense and defense. Steve Kerr need to develop someone from this current roster that they can rely on defensively. They already have too much fire power. If they can get someone who can fill up their defensive needs, then we will see them win again.

I agree. That might be really the case on why the Warriors struggled in their recent games, they are now lacking some players who can make their team airtight when it comes to their defensive capabilities. Gary Payton II is good at that, but the Warriors didn't re-sign him, right? Most of the remaining guys on the team are good in offense and not defense, Klay is not reliable to do that job anymore because of what he sustained last time. They really need someone new to get the job done, they can't defend their title if they are so vulnerable.

[bitgolden]

Irving situation could actually mean something good for Nets as well. I believe that if they could somehow manage to just tank this year, which will be very hard when you have Durant on your team, then you could literally rebuild faster while also having some assets. Like for example it should be insanely easy to give Durant to some other team and get some picks in return.

There is a big big reward at the end of the stick, it's Wembayamba and everyone wants him, it is like one of the most all time awaited picks since Lebron I believe, I don't remember that much hype around anyone else since that day. Every team should tank to get him, and give all their players for picks.

I expect the Nets to perform better than in previous seasons, the Nets even have a good roster along with Durant.

I believe "almost every team" wants to have Wembayamba lol
In addition to him being extremely tall, he also has other abilities.
I'm very curious and looking forward to seeing how Wembayamba performs in the NBA

Milwaukee Bucks VS Oklahoma City Thunder

The stake odds for this game are 1.32 for the Bucks and 3.50 for the Thunders, Right now the Bucks are at the top of the Eastern Conference and don't have any losses yet, I think this is a good enough excuse in getting the Bucks as a pick for the bet,

This should be another easy win for the Bucks, and it looks like they could easily increase their winning streak to at least 13 games in a row since the upcoming games will also be against relatively weak opponents. As I see it, only the Cavs or Blazers have a chance to break the Bucks' winning streak, but the Bucks won't meet those teams until the second half of November.

Yes, Giannis and the Bucks are really riding on a good momentum and it's hard what team are going to stop them. I doubt that Cavs or even Blazers can do that right now.

Giannis is really on form this season and it seems that he is on a revenge season after a disappointing playoff last season. And they are doing it without Middleton as well, there second leading scorer. And Giannis as early as today is sho-in for another MVP candidate run.
