2024 NBA Season

[OgNasty]

I'd say the Knicks and Nuggets win tonight.

Hey, look at that.  I got myself a decent parlay win. 

Lots of games tonight but none of them televised where I am, unfortunately.  I do like a couple of the matchups.  Houston Rockets vs Orlando Magic to see who is the worst in the league.  Lakers vs Kings is usually a good game as they were rivals back in the Shaq, "Sacramento Queens" era.  If Stephen Curry wasn't out the Golden State Warriors vs Brooklyn Nets game would be a great one to watch, but still might be interesting although the Nets should take that win.

Can Jordan Poole repeat what he did against the Raptors or will this just be another game to give up without Steph Curry around?
I want to see a new face stepping up his game, maybe Moody, Lamb, or Kuminga. Just to fill the missing piece while their injured players are resting.

Jordan Poole is very talented but Curry is a legend who can do it night in and night out.  It takes years to get to that level.

40+ night in and night out is tough to pull off even with the likes of Curry or any other legends. Jordan Poole is already doing 20 to 30 a night and has been consistent with that range lately.

It's one thing to be the 3rd option and get your shots in but when teams are game planning for you it's a whole different level which is why you need the superstar guys who can do it when other teams game plan to stop them.

Right but we already know the GSW system doesn't just rely on too many ISO plays. They are pretty good at ball distribution and setting up screens which allows many opportunities for open shots so any defensive plays aimed at stopping just one player like Poole isn't really going to work long-term.

That's right, you're not wrong at all. As long as a player can successfully take responsibility for himself in the absence of Stephen Curry, then I do not think there is a problem so long as he is able to do so successfully. In fact, I am looking forward to seeing the Warriors play their next game. Specifically, I would like to see if Poole can actually perform as well as he did in the last game or if someone else needs to take on that responsibility.

Aside from successfully taking that responsibility, consistency is as well needed because anyone can take any responsibility but the question will be, will that player be efficient in his new role and responsibility? So far, the Warriors doesn't have any troubles because one of them, Jordan Poole is taking a step further to fill Curry's absence and with the help of the rest of the roster, I bet they will still making wins along the way.

Later, they will face the Brooklyn Nets. Poole has been leading the team for the 2 consecutive games already, let's see how they will manage the situation later.

For me, if Westbrick keeps on targeting triple-doubles it will not be enough, for me, I think do not target a triple-double but a huge output on scoring, like he recently have against the Nuggets it was an impressive triple-double but he needs to do more, and right now Anthony Davis has a foot injury that may cause some losing game for the Lakers but if Russell Westbrick would keep up his triple-double target it will not be enough I think he needs to do more on the scoring because Anthony Davis may return on December 19,

I think scoring isn't Westbrook's strong suit. Nevertheless, his ability to grab a lot of rebounds and make a lot of assists can be very useful for the Lakers, but only in those moments when Russ makes the minimum number of turnovers per game. As for Davis' absence, Thomas Bryant might partially replace him if he continues to perform as well as he did in the previous game against the Nuggets.

I barely see Westbrook create more than 20 points lately since he is now in the second unit. His best contributions are from his assists and rebounds. This is good since he keeps feeding Lebron and AD or anyone who is hot in the Lakers to keep them hot.  

Even if Westbrook is not a scoring machine anymore and barely create 20+ points, he's still one of the huge reasons why the Lakers got an improvement lately. Yes, it did start when he fully embraced his role as the 6th man and trusted coach Ham's decision that he's more valuable coming from the 2nd unit. Also, coach Ham started utilizing the former Wizards, Thomas Bryant as their center while Davis is having some issues and the results were better because they aren't that much having a hard time when Davis is not around.

It's pretty much time for the Lakers to actually move on from Anthony Davis, despite being a heavy and consistent score for them when on the court this season, it's just obvious he can't stay fit, and he was also out for majority of their games when he would have been much needed last season, and this season too he's already missed a handful of games, I really don't know much they count on him for the reminder of the regular season, let alone the post season where the games are more intense and highly demanding, the fact that Lakers doesn't seemed to have an immediate future is something else of a worthy consideration.

I agree and I understand, but the problem is can they cater a trade for any good center to replace Davis this season? Because as far as I know, the Lakers management are also looking for some shooters that will be effective in almost every game and we all know that they only have a handful of future picks left. Hopefully, they can find some way to suffice what they have because sooner or later, they will still undergo rebuilding.

Dallas Mavericks, for instance, I don't think they won't be able to play in the playoffs.

We can have a better preview of what teams might enter the playoffs once the All-Star break commences. It's roughly about over a month and a half to go and team standings might show big changes, especially in the Western Conference where the competition is really tough.

Referring to the Dallas Mavericks specifically, there are games where I am really upset about their performance but still, I believed they will able to enter the playoffs. Although I'm expecting them to compete in a play-in tournament.

Looking at the league now, I cannot still think of any teams that do have some sure spot in the playoffs. Well, I surely do have some teams on my mind of course but I'm still not that sure that they will be playing in the playoffs because just like what happened last season and in any given recent seasons, there will be some improve from the teams especially after the trade and there will be some teams that are dominating since the season started but in the end, they got eliminated from qualifying the playoffs. In short, there will be a lot of things that will happen prior the playoffs.

Poole is doing great but it wasn't that long ago he was in D league and he is still learning as he goes.  Draymond and Klay have the most experience and should be the main ones to be relied on during Curry absence.  If they get great games from Poole that is good for them but this is his first time in this situation so the results are going to be unknown.  Without 1 of 2 vets somewhere close to being leading scorers I don't see how they can get consistent wins because they aren't getting the team scoring needed to win games?

I tried to research it but there is still no official report yet concerning Anthony Davis's injury. It is just a hint from Brian Windhorst. Will keep a positive outlook until the official reports come in. But if Davis is really out longer than one month, that will really hurt the Lakers' chance to even get illegible for the play-in. The surge of win they had lately was on the back of a great performance coming from Anthony Davis. It will be hard to fill that up with the roster the Lakers have right now. We may see a losing skid against from the Lakers.

The Lakers' upcoming schedule will be pretty tight, considering they will play 6 games until the end of December. So even if Davis misses only 1 month due to injury, it will still negatively affect the Lakers' results, and their chances of reaching at least the play-in tournament would likely be minimal.
Anyway, let's hope the Lakers' remaining healthy players will be able to perform well enough to avoid another losing streak.

[mirakal]

Without an all-star beside Luka, he will never win a title. That's how NBA is right now. In order for a team to win, you need to have at least 2 all star player on the team. You expect them to be in the play-in tournament. I believe they might make a roster change or make some trades this season, and maybe that might change the tempo of the team. I expect them to be at the 5-8th spot. Slightly higher than your prediction.

Luka is the main man of the Mavericks, he is the Kobe Bryant of LA Lakers and Giannis of Bucks, so you can't really expect to win without him. Dallas IMO are better this season, though they have struggle this early but comes playoffs, Wood will be very useful as they have a good scorer inside unlike last season.

But Luka has nobody to depend on because the team's situation is highly depending on him and him alone, the rookie might be giving some improvements but, in the end, Luka still needed to carry the whole team because he doesn't have someone to rely on unlike Kobe Bryant and Giannis who have Shaquille O'Neal and Khris Middleton, respectively.

Which explains again why they are struggling this season, but that rookie Christian Wood though, maybe this time will be much different. Anyway, let's see.

If the Lakers are silent about AD's injury, so I expect it to be worst than everyone has thought so yeah, maybe another a month or so with Davis out again and that has been the struggles of Lakers as of this time as they can't get a decent time with Anthony not getting himself injured.

So it's on the shoulder of Lebron James, and hopefully they wanted to remain at the position wherein they will have a chance at the play-in.

But then again, it will be difficult to advance to the next round, just saying.

Banking on Lebron to carry you the whole way moving forward is a big ask. AD was brought to be the lead dog to help reserve Lebron for the playoffs but AD's body can't be depended on at all for what it's worth.  I checked and Lebron has played in about 1388 games in his career.   The average player runs 2.8 miles in a game so Lebron has something like 3886 miles of running on his body.  He is above average when it comes to taking care of himself and has the funds to have top of line care... but he is human.

Right, Lebron is not getting any younger as well, although we appreciate his body of art as he was able to keep that body running even at his age, we have seen him in the last 2 years getting injured and missing games too. Perhaps James is looking to break Kareem's record this season, but very hard for them tor reach their goal of winning another championship because his partner is always down and there are no players that can step up to cover for Davis scoring. It could be Russ or Bryant as a big guy, but it's not going to be enough in this very competitive season.

Both of them have reliable before but things have changed, AD is more prone to injuries although he's really a monster when he's healthy. For Bron, he's not getting younger anymore and other players couldn't really on him anymore they have to assist them with his leadership, I guess that's what they're banking on. And it's likely that Bron won't retire even if many are telling him he's already aged because he said he wants to play with his two sons in the official season/league.

Definitely LeBron won't retire until he sees his 2 sons in the NBA. Bronny just turned 18 and Bryce is 15, LeBron could stay in the league until his 41 or 42. These are the range of age where Mutombo and Kareem retired. LeBron hasn't showed an obvious sign that he's washed it, so he's probably going to be fine until early 40's.
While AD on the other side, he might start to miss more games because of this injury again. The fans aren't surprised anymore. This is where we realize that Durability is something that is very important especially when you're a superstar.

And their second unit as well could be another issue for them, not just Lebron and AD. In their championship run, they have a lot of players that can step up, that's why it's fun to watch them that time and enjoying the game. But we all know what happens after that, they change personnel, just keep Lebron and AD in the lineup.

But now it's very different, AD is more prone to injuries, his body is not really reacting very well as he gets age (although he is still very young, but the wear and tear could be really telling something different). Sooner or later though, Father time will caught up with Lebron, maybe just enough time to see him with Bronny in the league.

Yeah, when they've traded their other good players, this season has got them at their low and that's okay. We see good teams falling on their knees just after they've won a championship like with the Warriors. Teams has to invest more with a better decision making before they commit and agree with a potential trade.

Definitely LeBron won't retire until he sees his 2 sons in the NBA. Bronny just turned 18 and Bryce is 15, LeBron could stay in the league until his 41 or 42.

He has said that but it's possible that we might not see that as well. Whatever will be the permitted situation, I'm sure that he'll surely be happy with that decision whether he'll get to play with his two boys or not as he retires.

Luka is doing this all with scrubs around him.  I don't expect Dallas to do anything significant this year.  Tes can hyper focus defense on Luka with that squad they throw out there night after night.  Sad really cause the dude could be even better than he is which is crazy to say.

Yeah it's pretty impressive that they are hovering around .500 with him being the only one really putting in big time work night in and night out.  I don't know if they are trying to be competitive or not this year, or perhaps Cuban is okay with not being so they can try and get a better shot at the lottery, but if I were them and trying to get better I'd be calling the Chicago Bulls, think we might be having a nice sale if things don't turn around real freaking quickly.  ( Can't believe your knicks destroyed us like they did on back to back games...yikes).

LeBron invested with his health so probably we might see him and his kids playing together, and knowing how he play the game now
there's nothing to doubt that he will be able to fulfil that.

I like to see another chapter on his NBA career, something that first time in the league history where father and sons combinations.

In terms of AD, there's nothing to discuss about his health. His injuries will always be the reason for him not to bring the help that his
team needed from him in the entire season.

Cleveland Cavaliers x Milwaukee Bucks

Cleveland comes into this game with 21 wins and 11 losses, with 7 wins and only 3 losses in the last 10 games, and a very positive moment for the team that has a 4-game winning streak in which they beat the Indiana Pacers and Utah and twice they beat the Dallas Mavericks, on the other hand their opponent the Milwaukee Bucks comes into this game with 22 wins and 8 losses, and in the last 10 games they had 7 wins, something interesting is that they in the last 2 games had a 2 win streak, in my opinion the Cavaliers can win this game

Philadelphia 76ers x Detroit Pistons

Philadelphia comes to this game with 17 wins and 12 losses, and they come from a sequence of 5 consecutive wins, they live a very good moment, in their last game they beat the Raptors, meanwhile their opponent the Detroit Pistons comes to this game with 8 wins and 25 losses, this is a bad campaign they are having, in the last 10 games they only managed to win only 3 games, and lost 7 games, the closest part is that they are in a sequence of 3 defeats, in my opinion Philadelphia win this game

Atlanta Hawks - Chicago Bulls

Atlanta Hawks comes to this game with 16 wins and 15 losses, they have managed to win 3 games and lost 2 games in the last 5 games, I would say that they have been oscillating, they are not stable yet, while their opponent the Chicago Bulls comes to this game with 12 wins and 18 losses, with the victory they had in their last game, they managed to get out of the lack of victories they were having, but playing against a team that is not stable either, but has been performing better than them in my opinion I would say that the Chicago Bulls can still win this game, the bookmakers put the Chicago Bulls as the team that will lose, so the odds for the Chicago Bulls to win are very high, something like @2.65 but I won't bet on that game at all despite being very tempting odd

^@Slow death
We have almost the same parlay, but there's a chance we might lose this if the Celtics won't have a good run to return from a 20-point lead.
Halfway into the 3rd quarter now, they must do something to cut the lead of the Pacers.
They are expected to win big at their home and with Horford back but the magic chemistry is not working yet.
76ers already winning and so do Cleveland Cavaliers. Fingers crossed for the Celtics.

There's still some time for the Celtics to catch up with the Pacers in the 4th.

In looks like that the Pacers are running out of steam and Tatum is trying to bring back the Celtics in the game, less than 4 minutes in the game and the lead in less than 10 points.

And expected 76ers huge win against the lowly Pistons and the Cavs against the visiting Bucks.
