2024 NBA Season

[Baofeng]

I thought Kyrie would use the ball more while Durant wasn't around, but Claxton and Curry stood out. I was sure Philly would win the game, but Brooklyn pushed until the last seconds. Embiid always plays to a certain standard, this time Maxey made an extra contribution and it was his performance that was decisive in the match. Both teams may play in conference semis, Philly looks more like a team so far.
Embiid vs. KD in Twitter was also fun.

Philly is healthy that's why they look at a team, with Joel and Harden and then Maxey is still improving this year. Curry is hot from the outside and then Claxton was taking Embiid with his length I think Joel had a hard time guarding him that's why they were able to close the gap in the last 2 minutes of the game. But it was clutch for James Harden and Maxey to get this big win and not let the Nets steal a game from them in their homecourt.
Clearly Steph Curry was upset on Jordan Poole's choice of shot, throw his mouth guard and got a Technical.

And I think it did good for them in the last seconds as the Memphis was confuse as who is going to take the last shot and they are guarding Klay and forget about Poole. So he just slide and a perfect pass to him to get the win. And there is another angle for a fan about how Poole sell the play to the Memphis pointing out to Klay to curl and them him cutting, it was brilliant.

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.

Yes, I do agree, they are a dynasty that time, together with the Lakers in that era, with Kobe and Shaq and then Coach Pop has Duncan, Manu and Parker. And I guess that's why it take time for the Spurs to rebuild because it's hard to find that kind of talent in the NBA right now, better yet to have them in 1 team.

Well I guess there is no good coaches without good players that perfectly in sync as well. And it is indeed hard to rebuild a team with an equally talented players that the organizations once had. Lucky for Phil Jackson he had Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, and the whole Bulls squad and Kobe, Shaq, Odom, and the whole Laker squad on the latter.
Now, I guess coach Pop is almost running out of time in rebuilding the Spurs, It might take at least the next 5-10 years for this organization to rebuild into a better roster, considering how good the NBA teams are now.

Don't know what's wrong with Poole but likely he's trying to prove he is good or just showing off, too bad for Curry to be triggered like that. I think he should behave more old on his seniors because this isn't the first time he did this kind of attitude.

Showing off most likely, I am glad it ended at his hands too because that erases the mistakes he done. But Steve Kerr should still point it out to him, all the turnovers and poor decisions he is making.
Speaking of Poole, after the game Steph Curry was waiting in the dugout to congratulate the team and Poole was the last one, he made a joke out of the frustration action of Curry throwing his mouthguard. Poole mimics what he did and also threw his mouthguard before he gets near Steph. Hilarious.

More rumors coming out as the trade deadline is near.

NBA trade rumors: Nets willing to trade Seth Curry, Joe Harris; playoff contenders interested in Fred VanVleet
Also, the Knicks remain willing to part with Cam Reddish

Joe Harris. Hmm, that's a big fish for a team that badly needs a shooter. Lakers?   Unlike Duncan Robinson, he is better at his defensive skills too.

[Minecache]

I wonder why nobody is talking here about the Grizzlies-Warriors match-up where Poole put the game winning shot.

He is the reason why Curry got ejected because of his early shot with more than 10 seconds remaining, but on the other hand, he is also the reason why the Grizzlies are now on a 4 game losing streak. Dynasty?? Dynasty in their dreams.

Stephen Curry had great support from Thompson and Poole. I thought the Warriors might actually lose when Stephen Curry was ruled out of this game after throwing his mouth guard which counted as a technical foul. This obviously happened because Poole did not pass him the ball when he was absolutely free. But in the end, Poole did the thing of beauty in the end which resulted in a win for the Golden State Warriors. I'm not going to lie. That was absolutely amazing what he did in the last moment of the game.

He did it out of frustration and who will not get frustrated with that play. They are at the crucial minutes of the game, your team got an offensive rebound, the shot clock is more than 10 seconds left and then you will just the ball out of nowhere? I mean that's a poor decision making coming from Poole, and clearly he is still unexperienced when it comes to times like that. Fortunately, he is the reason why they won and at the dugout, Curry waited for Poole there and Poole threw his mouthpiece as well and hugged each other after that. Player and mentor relationship .
The list of the starters of each conference in NBA All-star game has been picked already.
For the Western Conference, they got:

• Lebron James - their captain
• Nikola Jokic
• Zion Williamson
• Stephen Curry
• Luka Doncic

For the Eastern Conference, they got:

• Giannis Antetokounmpo - their captain
• Jayson Tatum
• Kevin Durant
• Donovan Mitchell
• Kyrie Irving

Lebron has been in the all star for the 19th straight time, tying Kareem's number of all-star appearances. Now some might say that why they picked Tatum over Embiid and my opinion with that is, Tatum is playing better than Embiid this season and it's a numbers game. We also saw Donovan Mitchelll as a starter and it's his first time as a starter. I hope Durant can play in the all-star. Any snubs that you can think on?

The game is tied if I'm not mistaken when he throw his mouth guard out of his frustrations for not getting the ball from Jordan Poole, and the shot selection that he had made or miss,  .

Of course, Klay is really pump up when he is facing the Memphis Grizzlies and you can see his emotions after he made that big shot and looking at the bench of the Grizzlies. However, I don't like what Steph has showed in his team mates here, yes he is the superstar but he should acted like that as if he is blaming his team mates for the mistakes that he had made, not passing the ball to him.

Yet another ugly loss for the Bulls.  They came in at -3.5 points which I thought shouldn't be too hard to cover with your team mostly healthy and playing a team with a record of 14-36.  I have lost all hope in the Bulls, not that they had a real chance at anything anyways, but just being competitive makes them fun to watch and they can hardly be that...not even playing .500 ball is sickening with a roster that talented.

[OgNasty]

Every day it seems like I see a new article about another guy being potentially available for a trade with the Lakers. Today it’s “Ice” Trae Young. I gotta admit it would be interesting to see how well Trae would shoot from the arch if LeBron was dishing him wide open passes. I think any development there would be in the off-season though. It seems to me like the Lakers aren’t going to pull the trigger on a big move to try and get a championship this season, but I wouldn’t mind being surprised.

Yeah, crap. I bet for -6.5 as I thought this should be the time to spark things up again and make a streak. They actually have easy 3 road games, Indiana Pacers where they lost after blowing a 21-point lead, then now against Charlotte Hornets where they are the favorite and fans are expecting better from them. Then, their next will be versus Orlando Magic.
If only they played better, they can do a 3-win streak, especially Zach LaVine, that's not the performance that I witnessed while DeRozan was injured, he was superb and stepping up his game big time.
If they can be defeated by those two low seeds then I doubt they can against the Magic which had been phenomenal in their last 2 games. I expected way too much too, but it seems that roster doesn't really work as a team.

I'm gonna be honest, I think he should have given the ball to Stephen Curry at that moment. Stephen Curry was hitting threes after threes. I am quite sure that he would have also made that count if he had got the chance. But obviously, that was not the way he should have acted.

But I think we should cut him some slack because he had been scoring greatly for his team. At that time he was also in motion. That was something that happened in the heat of the moment. I think he was punished enough for that by the referee in that match itself.

Sometimes players makes mistake, the good thing with Poole is that he was able to correct his mistake by making sure he made the game-winner. They'll eventually forget that since the bond was already there, and I was glad when I saw Curry hug him after the game, if he hadn't made that shot, I don't know but I believe Curry is a humble person despite his superstar status.

Stephen Curry obviously should have been passed the ball at that time. But obviously, it was a little lack of experience and also I think Poole got a little tunnel-visioned. That's why he probably didn't even see Stephen Curry free. But in the end, he corrected himself and won the match for his team. In the end, it was also good to see that there were no hard feelings between the players. I always like to see when a teammate goes from "you fucked up" to "you are awesome! ". And I think we should understand why Stephen Curry did it because we all saw his reaction after the referee called a technical foul on him, we all got to see how passionate he is.

I actually wanted to see Anthony Davis play. But of course, there are some injury concerns regarding him. Otherwise, I think we might have seen him in these all-star games. Obviously, a great thing for LeBron to be in the All-Star games for the 19th straight time.

Trae Young would be an upgrade for the Lakers coz I really think they lack of some outside shooters. Lakers path this season wouldn't be that much surprising either way, be a champion or just another ordinary team. Even Lebron himself in Lakers does not make a huge impact for the team to win, he can't carry his team these days  I'm a fan of him but I don't see him winning a ring this season. A complete Celtics would beat them up easily without AD. Sacramento would make a close them game to Lakers despite not having that all star in the team. But I still gamble on Lakers' game lol.

Trae Young would be a great addition to any team because no question that he is really good as a PG. However, the Lakers already have Lebron who would usually bring the ball, he would act as PG hence that makes Trae Young unable to fulfill his role effectively. I know they can make an adjustment, but the question is, does any PG of the Lakers become better playing with Lebron?

Yes, really disappointed with the Bulls, they are really inconsistent, they are like good for the first 2 quarters only and then faded into oblivion in the next 2 quarters. They are the favorite with that handicap and we think that they can easily covered with Lavine and DeRozan.

I think next season, if they don't make it to the playoffs, we will see another roster upgrade here.

Maybe one of their superstars will have to look for other teams specially Lavine.

Joe Harris. Hmm, that's a big fish for a team that badly needs a shooter. Lakers?   Unlike Duncan Robinson, he is better at his defensive skills too.

Those two are interesting to be pick up by any them, because they are just pure shooters. Anyhow, they have Kyrie right, why shop for Fred VanFleet? and then they still have Patty Mills but I say pretty much disappointed with him when he went to the Nets.

Not sure though if Joe Harris is a good defender, but as a shooter, he can lights out same as Seth Curry.

Perhaps its the balance that the Nets are looking right now.

[boltz]

Got it right for first half in Bulls game and I knew that Horners are a 2nd half team and this is exactly what happened. Unfortunately for me , I didn't click place bet   and I woke up today so happy until I checked My Bet list and saw nothing haha...imagine my reaction .

Anyway , I'm also glad that Mavs won against Suns and Luka had another chance to show his magic and skills. Now , I remember well that last year , some players from Suns trash talked Luka and how did that end up ? With Suns taking a huge L from Mavs.

If they lose on that segment for sure Curry will get disappointed about what Poole done in that sequence but since they won and Poole got a huge recovery for the mistake he done well that somehow erase the pressure. But still as what you said Kerr still need to correct that since this could start up another heated argument to their rooster and might could destroy their chemistry so coach should do their job to correct their players action next time to avoid their player getting ejected on the game since this is crucial especially if this will happen again to curry.

But it was just one game, Poole was also thinking that he can make it but failed. Good thing in the end he delivered a big win for the team. Curry understand the urgency of winning as they are not in a comfortable standing, and it's a shame that a depending champion would not even make it to the playoffs.

That was Ben Simmon's stats against the Pistons hehe. It just doesn't make sense for a big PG not to make more shot attempts on a league that mostly favors offense now. It was less than 10 tries per game in their last four or five outings. This guy would be very lucky to have a contract extension that's close to his current salary if he keeps playing like this.
