2024 NBA Season

[Yaunfitda]

Some high scores in the NBA last night. The Bucks and Pistons scored a total 280 points with the Bucks winning 150 to 130. Then you had the trailblazers who put up 147 points in their 147-127 win over the Spurs. Seems like something was in the air last night. I can’t remember the last time I saw 280 points being scored in a regulation length game but it certainly doesn’t happen every day.

Yes, this season seems to be high scoring game at least in the regular games, you can see how fast the transition is, after the team make a basket, the other team rushes for an inbound and score.

But for sure when the playoff comes in, it will be very different as it favor more defensive teams and low scoring game.

And probably this is good for bettors too, I mean just go bet on the over and hopefully both teams waxes hot.

NBA 2022/2023 Season is absolutely phenomenal and full of surprises. Each of the teams surprises with the level of play, except for the San Antonio Spurs, which can be seen that this season they can not find a place for themselves in the league. Constant losses, roster rotation, lack of teamwork. I hope they will surprise us all next season after completing their shortcomings.

They are one team that continue to struggles not just for this season, they even made a huge roster chance when they traded Murray to the Hawks. Another team that is tanking is Houston and then we have the Charlotte Hornets. The Hornets has a lot of injuries though and Houston Rockets is a very young team and you don't know who will lead this team.

As for the high scoring game, remember that we have a lot of players also scoring 70,60,50 day in day out. So it's a very different games that this teams are playing right now. The new 20 point is 40 now and that is expected for superstars player to score in this league today.

Another night of nationally televised NBA basketball thanks to TNT, who also has my favorite commentators. Up first is the Celtics and Heat. Both teams have been playing great this year so that game could go either way, but of course the Celtics are the favorite. Then you’ve got the Lakers and Clippers battle for LA. Both teams have been a disappointment, but maybe they’ll bring their A game for the rivalry.

I used to be a fan of San Antonio Spurs but when their former roster has retired, there's no longer any spark to the team unlike before when they're with Duncan, Parker and Ginobili.

I guess most teams that are struggling now were used to be great with their former rosters that we've became fans of.

But this time, that era has ended and we're entering to the new era and we have to bear with this reality to sink in.

They have been rebuilding since that dynasty, although there is high hopes that time that Kawhi will be the next generation, but we all know that he went on his separate ways and become a champion in Toronto.

Coach Pop has yet to find his next big 3, he has been experimenting in the last decade or so and continue to tank his season. And hopefully they can find the right players otherwise they will continue to be like this in the next couple of seasons.

I used to really enjoy watching this team, but as you have both pointed out, they are no longer the Spurs of the past.  They of course had some big time talent on that team, but they did an excellent job creating a fully well rounded squad even outside of just the superstars on that team.  I would complain about them being so good for so long, but as a Chicago Bulls fan we had our own dynasty, so I can't complain too much lol.

About the trade, I think Lakers won that trade, and for sure Hachimura will be able to help big time for the undermanned Lakers.

If we compare the stats of these two players for this regular season, Hachimura performs noticeably better than Nunn. By the way, Hachimura averages 13 points and 4.3 rebounds, while Nunn averages only 6.7 points and 1.4 rebounds per game. So yes, the Lakers have definitely benefited from this trade, and I also expect Hachimura will be very useful on the court, especially during Davis' absence.

[Captain Corporate]

Honestly, Rui is not a good enough player just for the three second round picks, let alone Nunn, and I agree that Nunn is not good neither, if it was a straight up trade then I would say they are good, but three second round picks? That has to be terrible man, that's really not a good trade. Lakers basically do not have any picks left, they are trusting this team to either work very well and get a title next year (can't get one this year lets be realistic) or they will just suck for another 5-6 years in a row, not even tanking because they have no picks, they will just suck and that's it, end of story, don't even have a plan to get better.

Like other great players from the past which still mentioned even today for sure lebron's name will be called out due to the legacy he left once he officially retires. Maybe for now he's not thinking that since provably his target is to surpass Kareem's record and be the top 1 on all time scoring title. For sure fans would miss how Lebron play since it will take more years to discover the same like talent or close to on the league.

His goal was always playing with his son Bronny, he will play one year with his son and then he will retire, not because of 40k points or anything because that will be this year. Basically there is 2 more years of Lebron after this season, this year will be Bronny's senior year in high school, and next year will be Bronny at college freshman, so 2 more seasons like that, then Bronny will be drafted and we will see Lebron and Bronny play together, so it's three years not just two, but we could see two more years at Lakers because we won't know who will draft Bronny just yet.

After that, Lebron will probably be free agent, and whoever drafts Bronny will get Lebron as package, and for cheap too, and we will see them play together and then Lebron will retire, that's going to be a sweet season for sure, a farewell tour basically for him.

I can’t remember the last time I saw 280 points being scored in a regulation length game but it certainly doesn’t happen every day.

I only watched the first quarter of this game. When I saw the score of the Milwaukee Bucks is already far as 40+ in the first quarter I already knew it will be a blowout game so I changed the channel.  They are known to be an offensive team but it's just the Pistons that lack the defensive effort. It have gone to 300 total if they didn't miss a free throw. 

Honestly, Rui is not a good enough player just for the three second round picks, let alone Nunn, and I agree that Nunn is not good neither, if it was a straight up trade then I would say they are good, but three second round picks?

No future plans win now strategy.
They are just taking advantage of the years remaining of Lebron James that's why they will risk their future to win now. Maybe it's Lebron who asked for it.  But once they are done with them the Lakers team will probably get an overhaul just like how the Utah Jazz did it. They will probably trade AD in the future too as their ace to make a better roster.
For now, that trade is a win situation because they are in a rush and AD will be back, this will probably be their best chance to claim a playoff spot.

They are trying to hit gold.  Rui is being somewhat misused in Washington and Lakers need to strike gold right now.  They can't wait to draft players with lebron and AD in house right now.  I agree it's not worth the trade but it is what it is they are trying anything they can to move up.  They know for dam sure the squad they throw out there now isn't good enough.

In addition to that are the possible injuries before or during playoffs that could greatly affect their teams' fate. Playoffs are more intense than the regular season. Just look at Harden when he was still at Rockets. He is superb in regular season but dubbed as choker in playoffs.

Kings' last playoff appearance was the 2005 -06 season. To be able to reach where they are right now is really surprising. Kings will surely give a tough fight in playoffs. I can say their future is bright as long as no injuries will happen.

Meanwhile, Giannis and Middleton are listed as probable to return vs Pistons.

Thank you for this information.

I believe that the playoffs is a very difficult phase for a team to be an NBA champion.
There are some peculiarities between these stages, regular season games are totally different from the playoffs, and it is at this time that the team will miss a great player who is injured for example...

I confess that I'm going to watch the Kings' games more often, they are calling my attention for their determination and technique these days.
Let's see if they can get advances in some playoff games

LeBron broke another record and scored 40+ against all 30 teams in NBA. LA Clippers was the only team he couldn't score 40 but tonight he did it. That was a spectacular performance from him but they still lost. LA Clippers is dominating Lakers lately, they won last 10 games against them. Without Anthony Davis, Lakers don't have much chance. I heard he may return tomorrow.

I saw that fact in an interview with him just the other day. Funny that he immediately came out and rectified that shortcoming.

The Nuggets and Pelicans was a great game tonight with the Nuggets squeaking by with a one point victory.

LeBron seemed mentally drained at the end of the game tonight in the loss to the Clippers. You can tell he is tired of not having Anthony Davis out there. The Lakers need to bite the bullet and trade for Bogdonavich.

Ahhh sh*t here we are again. Whenever I see Davis coming back, I'm always afraid of him because there is always a chance that he might get re-injured again. Well anyway, I'm not expecting anything to him if he will return tomorrow, or at least it will take some games before he manage to come back to the way he played at the start of the season where we see him dominating games.

Another record for Le-GM Oooops it's Lebron my bad. 178 points away from surpassing Kareem's record and with his current average of 27 PPG, he might surpass it next month. I might take time to watch every game him next month because I just want to see him surpassing Kareem's scoring title on live. It would be better if Kareem will be on the arena when that happens .

The Lakers needs to perform their best as a team for them to win. LeBron alone couldn't carry the Lakers at this time of his career. But, that was some spectacular performance from LeBron, adding some achievements in his résumé.
The fans really do hope AD would return as soon as possible, to help the team lift at a better spot or at least secure the 8th seed. The Western conference this year is pretty crazy, because of the tight competition, they all have closer standings. So, it's not really that hard for the Lakers to get that 8th seed.

What a thrilling game it was. I was expecting Boston to win since Miami is playing without Butler. It was a duel between Bam Adebayo and MVP candidate Jayson Tatum. I really like it when Bam is expected to step up on his offense in the absence of Butler and he did. I am once again disappointed by Herro's performance lately but the kid sealed this game for Miami. The kid has a lot of playoff experience that made him a clutch but hopefully, he works on his offense because he is supposed to be the next bucket guy.

I haven't watched the Lakers and the Clippers game because I just don't think the former can beat the latter nor present a close game when both Kawhi and PG are playing.

I expected that from Bam Adebayo because I thought Robert Williams III will miss the game again. But you are right, he stepped up his game even further even if there was a shot blocker in front of him.
About Tyler Herro, the inconsistency seems to linger after the injury. He is known to score 20+ point per game but his recent games had been below that and his outside shooting capability went down. He is young, he sure will find a way to gain his confidence back.

I haven't watched the Lakers and the Clippers game because I just don't think the former can beat the latter nor present a close game when both Kawhi and PG are playing. 

Missed this game too.
Looking at the stats and highlight, it is Lebron James vs the Clippers duo. That's unfair.  Any star will be frustrated by this kind of performance from his teammates. Luka Doncic did.

I also expected that the Celtics are going to win this game. Because Miami is not playing with Butler in the team. But in the end, it came down to the two individual players who played really well from the two teams in this game. Tatum and Adebayo both played really well in this game.

I haven't watched the Lakers and the Clippers game because I just don't think the former can beat the latter nor present a close game when both Kawhi and PG are playing. 

Lakers and Clippers game was interesting. Clippers played well in this game. The problem for the Lakers was only LeBron James the player who played exceptionally well and almost dropped a 50 bomb in this game. But it was a team effort from the Clippers. If LeBron James had a little help from his team, I think this game could have been a lot closer.

I bet he missed the old times when he is getting some help from Wade and others because they were unstoppable at that time and easily get to the NBA playoffs. Now they are having a hard time as if they are not gonna make it to the top 10. Whenever they win straight, they also lose some games in the future. Maybe it will gonna change when AD will play back and they really need to change their game if they want to be in the playoffs this season because their spot has not been changed at all since the start of the season.
