2024 NBA Season

[Hypnosis00]

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.

Clippers have a good line up now, a healthy PG and Leonard will definitely have a chance to be in the Finals. Actually, even with Lebron and AD playing together, I think the Clippers are still good overall as a team. Lebron has been carrying the Lakers when Davis was injured, but against a good team like the Clippers, I guess his effort would never be enough.

Bryant and Schroder are very limited, these two if playing well usually make the Lakers better, but  Schroder only has 7 points in this game. While on the Clippers team, the points are spread properly, both Leonard and Paul George have good contributions, and you can also tell that the defense of the Lakers are ineffective because the clippers are shoots 61% while the Lakers only shoots 44%.

He was explosive. 46 points in this match, which was really unbelievable. Lakers could have easily been the winner of this match if they actually played well as a team. It doesn't matter if you have the best player on the team, he is still going to need some help from the other teammates. I am honestly interested to see how the Lakers are going to play in their next match. Because if the same thing happens in the next match as well, it is going to be really frustrating.

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.

Adebayo actually played really well and won the match for his team. His team did not have much hope except for his performance. To be honest his performance was the backbone of the Miami Heat winning the game. Without him, this sure was going to be an 'L' for them.

Yeah, but I think Clippers will need to be consistent as well. PG and Leonard hasn't play that much this season, it's either one of the team to carry the team. But now it seems they both click with their rival team in LA.

But I'm still not totally sold on the duo, they have to win more games.

Good game between the Wizards and Mavs, Dallas though make some mistakes in the end, and Wizards winning by just 1 point.

Clippers to win a championship has an odds of +1100. I think that's a very attractive odds now that the Clippers are healthy and they have lots of quality players in their roster. https://www.oddsshark.com/nba/championship-odds

Good game between the Wizards and Mavs, Dallas though make some mistakes in the end, and Wizards winning by just 1 point.

Yeah, that cost them 1 game. Actually Mavericks are struggling to win recently as we can see on their last 10 games where they only won 3 of those.

[freedomgo]

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.

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.

Even that 40+ point that he made didn't help and keep the team afloat to defeat the Clippers and for me, it's just another day of an inconsistent production of the Lakers after having a few good games. Been patiently waiting and hoping that Schroder will explode from time to time like he did in the EuroBasket because it's the main reason why he got a contract with the Lakers.

I agree. It's not like Jimmy Butler can shoulder all the weight of the team. He needed Tyler Herro to be at his best performance and Oladipo too.
Without Adebayo, the Heat will be an easy team to defeat especially when it comes to teams that rely on attacking the paint.

Yeah, I don't really understand why it becomes different when the game is for your country. NBA is also a league that inspires to take the championship and yet we have seen many Euro players that suddenly change when they play in the NBA.
Perhaps Schroder is trying but a team with your countrymen is different (better) than a team with locker room issues in the Lakers.
There are too many leaders, unlike the German team where he is the one who is expected to produce.

[Japinat]

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.

Did you really expect that the Los Angeles Lakers can just have it their way and expect a good trade from giving away their second rounders? I mean c'mon man, let's be reasonable because we all know in the first place that the Lakers can't give a good package to any given team in-exchange for a reliable shooter. Rui Hachimura is quite decent and young as well, he's been favored because he got some history with T. Bryant and R. Westbrook back in the Washington Wizards, moreover, you can't possibly get any good picks in the second rounders. I'd say it's a good trade after all, not what we expect because they don't have that much to offer.

Their situation will change for sure once Anthony Davis comes back from his injury and LeBron will be more positive because he knows that he will get some help in lifting the team towards the top 10 and sometimes, LeBron doesn't need to be much aggressive because AD is there already doing most of the work just like what he did before he got injured. But let's face the reality, Davis might good and all, but we know that he won't be playing that long because he is so prone to injury and if he will keep a safe distance to avoid injuries, that will also mean that they will be struggling.

Definitely, it might improved, but the thing is that the West are very deep as well and it's going to be very hard for the Lakers to survived in that division. Yes, they might be in the play-in, possible to go, but when they face a tougher team in their first one, they might exit.

So it's not assurance for this season once again, they had a few good runs and wins, but it might be too late.

And then they have to see how Rui will blend in their next game.

And speaking of Wizards, Westbrook has 3 of his former Wizards players in Lakers now, Rui Hachimura, Troy Brown Jr. and Thomas Bryant. Well we can say that it's a good trade as it will benefit both parties in this trade.

But in the long run, we all know that this is like patches things for the Lakers, they might not survived another season with this kind of players surrounding Lebron just like what happen to them last season.

They need not to overused Davis for him to avoid more injuries, I like the idea that once he come back the chance of winning is high,
with him playing with LeBron they are solid both Offense and defense.

The coaching team needs to find ways to give both LeBron enough rest by rotating the players
properly, if they can duplicate how Boston and Warriors doing the rotations, all the players
inside are contributing and know their roles when playing inside.

A couple of good games on ESPN tonight for the watching. First up you have the 76ers and the Nets. Without Durant, I think the 76ers should be to win easily, but we’ll see. After that, the second game of the doubleheader is between the Grizzlies and the Warriors. This game might be fun to watch. Steph Curry isn’t the most agile defender and Ja Morant is an insane athlete. This could lead to some highlight dunks that you can watch on Sportscenter if you miss the game…

Clippers have a good line up now, a healthy PG and Leonard will definitely have a chance to be in the Finals. Actually, even with Lebron and AD playing together, I think the Clippers are still good overall as a team. Lebron has been carrying the Lakers when Davis was injured, but against a good team like the Clippers, I guess his effort would never be enough.

The chemistry inside Clippers is better than the Lakers, both PG and Kawhai are really respecting each other, they are playing as one, ball
rotations are very important, though both PG and Kawhi are capable of taking the one on one.

If both PG and Kawhai will be ready with a healthy condition, the chance of Clippers is really great, they are capable of winning more games.

Hopefully, there's no major injury that will happen so they can move forward in trying to chase for the title.

Lebron and Westbrook will still be doing a solid carry for the Lakers if they want to be placed in a good standing for the playoffs with players of this caliber in their roster. Hopefully they pull through, but I don't think there's much chance for them given how tight the Western conference is right now.

Joel Embiid is questionable in this game, so it's going to be Kyrie again vs James Harden, so we will see who will carry their team to victory. I don't think there will be drama anymore for Ben playing against his former team, but we will see.

If I'm not mistaken, the Warriors beat the Grizzlies the last time in December. It was a huge win for the Warriors that time, there are a lot of emotions between the two based on their history and it was the last time the Grizzlies lost prior to their 11 game winning streak. So it's going to be interesting to see this game.

I'm not sure if we can use the word "easily" for the 76ers winning the game against the Brooklyn Nets.

Just recently, the Golden State Warriors, which is far much better in terms of roster comparison to the 76ers got upset by the Nets without Durant. Not saying the Nets will be able to repeat that win even without Durant but I should say that there will be no easy win for both of these teams when they faced each other.

Nets without Durant and the 76ers without Embiid. Should be a close game the entire game or if not, the final score is not that gap.

[dwyane36]

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.

Davis' return is very positive news for the Lakers, especially for LeBron, as now they will have a chance to improve their place in the standings and make at least a play-in tournament. However, I wouldn't expect Davis to start performing the way he did before. It will probably take him a few games to adapt after his long absence. Anyway, let's hope Davis has recovered well enough to make it through the rest of this regular season without another injury.

[jossiel]

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.

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.

After that championship taken with Raptors, I thought that it's going to be a continuous domination for Kawhi but I was wrong with that.

I hope that Coach Pop will have his new great 3 just as the generation that we've seen with those players that I've mentioned which is most likely the greatest roster that the franchise has ever had.

Hopefully they pull through, but I don't think there's much chance for them given how tight the Western conference is right now.

I guess we will see it in the next couple of days after Rui Hachimura have his practice and drills with the Lakers, it's still too premature to judge whether if the Lakers won the trade or not because he is yet to prove himself wearing the Yellow and Purple jersey. We never know, he might get some good flavors and give some good production unexpectedly.
