2024 NBA Season

[dwyane36]

27 more points for LeBron in the Lakers loss tonight against the Pelicans. This puts him on pace to easily break the scoring record on Thursday against the Bucks on TNT. It seemed a little obvious that this was what was going to happen and at this point he would need a monster game against the Thunder or probably an injury to keep it from happening. Keep your Thursday night free. It will most likely be LeBron’s historic evening.

No need to force it against the Thunder. Just put the game in a blowout score and then rest to be prepared for the game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
15-20 points will do, then the next 20 will be an easy one especially if they are playing against a competitive team. 37 points to go.

LeBron only needs to score 36 points to break Kareem's record and become the all-time leading scorer in NBA history. By the way, the schedule notes that the game against the Thunder will also be broadcast on TNT. So I wouldn't be surprised if LeBron can break that record during the game against the Thunder, as 36 points per game is not a tough task for him.
In any case, the lucky ones are those fans who will be in the Lakers arena and will be able to see this historic moment live.

OKC though is a very hard match up for the Lakers, so they could spoil history by beating the Lakers even if Lebron go 36+ points to break the record hehehe.

So we will see, it's good that it will be broadcast on TNT and I guess it could be one of the most watch game in NBA not just in the arena which the tickets astronomically multiplied many times because everyone wanted to be part of this great history as most of us didn't see Jabbar playing in his prime and setting this records.

In any case there is a good bet on Lebron's breaking the record as per Stake

I'm looking forward to that, usually when the game is televised in TNT, that's likely a competitive game and since OKC is a good team too, the we might see a great game where Lebron will be bringing his team to win and at the same time he'll make history on the same night.

@Baofeng there's one more bet there, you should've included it in the SS. 
It's about what type of shot Lebron James will make the record. A free throw, a 2 pointer, or a three-point field goal.
The highest profit will be a 3-point field goal as he is just 30 percent there. I am betting on a free throw. @3.30

Oh, apologies, and thank you for correcting me @dwyane36. Yes, 36 points to be above Kareem's record.
IMO, it's best at TNT for unbiased comments. History wise too, will feed the people with a lot of history and facts about the record.
My guess will be against the Bucks and it's not a problem because both are home games. Well, we better just watch both games as we don't know if it will happen against the Thunder or not. He may feel like it's his night and could go hot any minute.

There is a high tendency that he will gonna conclude it in their next game because their opponent seems not that strong anyway. We will gonna witnessed history that we would not even imagine happening in our lifetime and one of the reasons for that is how LBJ takes care of his body he even went too far spending roughly $1.5 million annually on training it. Now it is about to pay off and I can really say it is worth it for him because after all, he has the means to do it and after that, he can actually stretch the record more for the next generation to overtake.

It was good to see Cedi Osman becoming one of the players who have made the most three-pointers in Cavs history. It was a great night for him especially with 7/7 three-pointer stats.

There are still many games to be played maybe by the way but we have got past the first half of the regular season already. And I can't say Lakers are doing a good job still. They are still a struggling team and their chance of qualifying for the playoffs is complicated. They are only one win away from the 10th position actually. But they need to be consistent to maintain their chance for it. However it is difficult to expect that much from them while they have lost more than the half of their games played so far.

Cedi Osman is performing quite well, but I think his biggest problem is that he can't play with the same determination in every match. He is a very talented basketball player and plays very well in many critical games, but some days he can really fail. It would be much better for him if he could have more consistent gaming performance. However, we can say that this year has been very successful

I would say that he is inconsistent as a Cav, how many years is Osman on the Cavs rosters? So from time to time he needs to be inserted in the game, but don't expect something big from him.

This is just one of his best performance though as a Cavs and hopefully, he will be given more time.

But then again, still depends on how he is going to show up in games. If he can be like this in the next game, then maybe he will be given more time.

He is not one of the best quality players in the world, there are players who are much better than him. If he'd been on another team instead of the Cavs, maybe he wouldn't have had this much time. But he shows very important performances for the team in many matches and can contribute a lot to the team both in score and assist. If he can take a little more time, he could be an even more useful player for the team

The Warriors held the Mavericks but Curry left with 2:01 minutes remaining in 3rd quarter due to an apparent knee injury. X-rays say negative but he will take MRI later. Hope he can come back earlier as they are not yet guaranteed to Play-In Tournament because of how close their standings are with other teams. Losing him could greatly reduce their chance.

Let's hope for the positive news, it's okay if he will rest for awhile as long as there's no fracture or whatsoever that would might result on him unable to play for a certain period of time. Curry is vital for the team as he is the best player, but even without him in the regular season, I believe the Warriors would still advance in the playoffs as they had already adjusted well when Curry was injured or prior to his return.

But it doesn't mean Jokic is getting buried, he also recorded another triple-double 14/18/10, and that is his 9th in their last 11 games.
Superpowered Nuggets will be difficult to defeat.

Just another trivia that I saw online.
The Nuggets are 18-0 when Jokic gets a triple-double.

If that doesn't amaze you as an NBA fan then I don't know why. I mean Jokic is the main guy of the Nuggets, and it's a good thing that he got Murray back and aside from that, he also got some very good role players in the team. Players like MPJ, DeAndre Jordan as their backup center, KCP who won a title in the Lakers, Hyland, Green, Bruce Brown, Aaron Gordon. The roster is very deep that you can still make a good team out of their role players. I just hope that they will convert it on the playoffs and they will play even better and no one gets injured.

I believe he can't do it against the Thunder.

In his last 3 games, he only averaged 27 PPG. Unless his team will give the ball to him most of the time like what the Lakers did to Kobe on his last game where he scored 60 points then it's possible that he can surpass it against the Thunder. After all, many are excited on that achievement, but if it will be just a normal game then I believe he can't do it. I'll watch the game on livestream and will not do anything on that day.

I do agree with that adjustments, as long as the team is playing as one and the players are following their respective roles, Curry can rest for a while and let the guys execute the plays.

Hoping that it will not be an injury that will cause him to rest for the entire remaining games of the season,
with the tough competitions from the west side, Curry is needed to bring the leadership.

Kyrie said he will re-sign with the Nets in the summer.
Kyrie also said he will stay with Durant for the rest of this season.

Now a change of decision right away lol. Maybe the Nets need to consider rushing things in a few days and grant what Kyrie wants. What a waste of their slot if the trade won't be executed and he will sit out the entire season. The Nets can acquire good role players in return with Kyrie's current worth.

I don't know if anybody aside from me saw some articles online, but aside from the Lakers, Mavericks and the Suns, the Clippers are joining the ride as well and they have a huge offer to give for the Nets just to get Kyrie Irving.

I made a quick search on which players the Clippers want to trade just to get Kyrie, but unfortunately I don't see anything. Now the question is, will the Clippers trade either Kawhi or PG just to get Kyrie? Or they will give draft picks plus role players just to get him? I would be excited to see the Big 3 of Kyrie, Kawhi and PG in the Clippers.

The Nets really wanted to trade Kyrie before the trade deadline (which is kind of surprising for me base on the article I read), and the Clippers are in need of a reliable point guard right now that can facilitate and at the same time, score.

I do not know who they can trade but I am sure they will not trade Kawhi or PG. But it is beneficial for the Clippers if they can acquire Kyrie. First, it is just a one-year rental, so they only have a short time with Kyrie and they probably will not deal so much with his drama. Then, Kyrie is a really good player and a reliable scorer. He also got tons of experience playing in the playoffs and the finals. That is a great help for Kawhi and PG for their title run. But, I am also sure the Nets will want so much in return for Kyrie. I do not know if the Clippers will be able to afford it without destroying their lineup.

[OgNasty]

The Kyrie situation seemed like it was nearly a done deal between the Nets and Lakers but as usual Kyrie has figured out a way to make everything harder for everyone. Reports are that the Lakers and Nets nearly had a deal done but Kyrie is demanding a 4-year contract and the Lakers were only willing to offer him a 2-year deal. I think with how toxic Kyrie has been on his last 3 teams, he should take the shorter deal and prove himself…

No mate, LeBron James is now 36 points away from breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's record.
Here is the live points tracker: https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/34584960/when-lebron-james-break-nba-career-points-record

That would probably happen in their next game versus the Oklahoma City Thunders and not against the Milwaukee Bucks. The only thing keeping LeBron from breaking the record with the Thunders is if he will suddenly acquire a minor injury that would need a full day rest. Anyway, this is indeed a historic event not just for the Los Angeles Lakers but for the whole league as well and the last time I heard about the seats was they were selling at $92,000.

[wheelz1200]

Just a brutal ending to that knicks game.  They were down 17 came all the way back to be up 3 with seconds to go.  Of course Clippers hit a 3 at the buzzer and won in overtime.

Why doesn't everyone foul when they are up 3. I never liked letting another team chuck up an open 3.  Brutal loss..

LeBron put 27 more in the last game and now he needs 36. They are two different things, read again.
He will break it either in Thunder or Bucks game. It's really up to him honestly, he can drop 36 against Thunder easily but he may not care the record at all and play his natural game.

Jamal Murray is cooking. Vintage Jamal, the one we saw in the bubble.
41 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists. 7/12 in 3-point line, 15/24 field goals. Superbly amazing. He silenced his critiques once again, they all thought the old Jamal won't be back anymore after the injury but now he proved his consistency by being back and more. He had been the offensive weapon of the Denver Nuggets in their last 4 games scoring 22, 32, 33, and now 41 points.
But it doesn't mean Jokic is getting buried, he also recorded another triple-double 14/18/10, and that is his 9th in their last 11 games.
Superpowered Nuggets will be difficult to defeat.

As a huge basketball fan, I can't wait to witness LeBron James set yet another record! He needs 36 more points to become the all-time top scorer in NBA history, so it won't be long now. The TNT game on Thursday versus the Bucks has no doubt had every basketball fan on the planet counting down the seconds.

Consider experiencing this historic occasion firsthand while present at the Lakers Arena. You'll be able to claim to have seen LeBron breaking Kareem's record and there will be electrifying atmosphere in the stadium. LeBron's career will undoubtedly be defined by the game on Thursday night, which will undoubtedly be one for the record books. Keep an eye out for what is certain to be a memorable evening whether you are watching from home or in the stadium.

Indeed, after breaking Kareem's record, he can add more to his career and make it more difficult for someone to break his record,
for me, He can still play for another couple of seasons.

It will be a big challenge but a good inspiration for new rising stars to take care of their bodies, with LeBron spending millions to make sure that he
will stay fit.

Something that will give a good idea to new stars to follow that steps and try breaking this new record that LeBron will be established.

That would be a great deal for the Lakers if that happens but usually, we get to see these trades that are favoring the team that will be left or traded for.
This is an exciting developing story and if the rumors are true then there's an increased chance for the Lakers to be seen continuing to play together with Lebron but, it's on them to do the deal.

What might be the offer that will earn the interest of Nets management, aside from they will release Kyrie and his drama I'm not sure if they will take WB alone, like what you mentioned.

The team will ask for something that will benefit them in order to release their assets,
unless that is okay with the trade offer, then maybe it will happen. Kyrie is asking for it
and the management will take a look at all the offers that they might get to every interested
teams.

Well, look at the surprising news that we have. We thought that Iriving will be going with the Lakers but no, he'll go with the Dallas Mavericks helping Luka. The other details about the trade are on the article.

Props to Mark Cuban for making this happen. You can always count on him to do something crazy. I look forward to reading more about the details of this deal and more so to the drama that come from it and how Mark Cuban chooses to handle it. I get the feeling he won’t put up with Kyrie’s nonsense and will be airing out their dirty laundry in public. If so, this could be news gold for a long time to come.

Yeah, he's the cool guy out there that made this deal happen. Luka x Kyrie, I have never thought that this is going to happen but hey, there it goes.
We might see the details of the trade soon and as in most stuff we want to know aside from who is the involved in this deal and mostly, how much the deal exactly is for his contract.
