2024 NBA Season

[tabas]

Valid thoughts, possibly that he has really done it on purpose and the timing was perfect. He's known for that whenever there were some issues before about him.
Instead of the potential history that Lebron is about to make, he's become the talk first before that happens. Possible also that it's just mere coincidence but as we all know, everything and the timing was totally perfect.

I do know and am well aware that Kyrie Irving does really have an unusual character since then and does crazy things unexpectedly out of the blue, and even has a toxic attitude to everybody, with no expectation, but your guesses are maybe too much and really insane to think.

Asking trade just to try not to be overshadowed in the news because of Lebron James' hype in breaking a big record this week? That was funny to think.

It's not even a coincidence. It's just that it happened simply. No need to overthink that.

That's just an assumption and it's timely to think of but yeah, let's just spare that moment for him and Lebron as both are having their own highlights for this season.
Anyway, I'm seeing a lot of memes about Kyrie on what he has said during his early days in the Nets that he won't leave 7. It's just a meme and we know change is constant but those were really funny ones.

Who's betting on Lebron to break the points made of all time tomorrow?

Based on my sportsbook, Lebron is 2.12 if he will score 35+ points, that's a huge number but I believe he will likely achieve that tomorrow since OKC is not so defensive, they even score over 150 before, so for sure it will be a battle of offense.

It's a fact that the lakers' next opponent suffered a heavy defeat in the last game, with the points difference surpassing 25 points, but before that defeat they won in a way that humiliated the opponent, by that I mean that the lakers need to stay well watch out for this game and play to win the game and not play individually, it is true that if lebron scores many points it will help the team and also benefit him individually, but because he is one of the most important players on the team the opponent will be keeping an eye on him

and I believe that the opponent must have already heard about all time points, so they won't be letting him loose to score a lot of points for him to reach all time points, and that can even break him mentally if he focuses too much on all time points, even experienced players who like team games and always put the team first can fall into error when faced with something like all time points

Kyrie just love to move in different teams, well, he has that liberty because he is really good, and just like what happened, even the Lakers are trying to join the trade but the Nets ask too much for them so they cannot get Irving. Now that he is on his new team, even if he'll promise that he will retire being a Mavericks player, we should not expect that, and that would also help the fans so they'll not be hurt enough once Irving will leave.

If Irving will renew his contract with the Dallas Mavericks, then he might likely stay for a while.

I only took the bet for what shot he will make to break the record. I chose the free throw as its profits are higher than the 2-point shot.  @3.30
Expecting an and1 play with all his paint attacks so it might hit. Fingers crossed.

The Warriors somehow blew out the Thunders even without Steph Curry. Klay Thompson, the classic Klay shooting 12/16 in long-distance shots, he almost broke his own record of 14 if only there was more time left or the game didn't end in a blowout. The Warriors shot 26/50 in 3 point lane and there's another record for that which is almost broken too. 
Anyway, that's above 50 percent which is an awesome number. I bet Steve Kerr is so happy now about the results of the game.
If Klay could keep up this pace, their team will absolutely be in a good seed even without Curry yet.
Reports say he will be missing multiple weeks because of partial tears in his ligaments.

Cam Thomas is making a big deal for Brooklyn Nets, the guy's a bucket machine! If he maintains this kind of performance, even Kyrie Irving was traded to the other team, in my opinion it's a win win situation. I'm gonna watch their next game against Chicago Bulls, might he'll drop 40+ points again and make history.

This is what I'm talking about. He's been doing pretty well when he starts games even before the Kyrie trade. I hope Durant see enough motivation to stay by mentoring these young guys at least until the end of the season.

On another NOT so breaking news, Ben Simmons has zero trade value according to some articles. That's hardly surprising to anyone who looks at his output per game. He should be mentally ready to play back in Australia because he'll probably get a minimum vet salary once his lucrative contract expires.

He's not happy with the management that's why he choose to ask for trade. But since he land on a Dallas which have good management maybe he might like to stay there especially he has  Luka which is proven to be one of the best and their current rooster is solid already. If Kyrie decide to leave after his contract end maybe kyrie just only want to make his name create noise again. If he keep doing that I don't know if there's still a team will get him in future even if he is so good.

But its speculated that after his contract with mavs he will not sign and decide to go with Lakers but let see if this happen.

Changes as always, there's nothing certain now he can say that word any time, but his action will state the sincerity of that words,
now that he's gone and will be playing against the team.

It will be a good thing to move forward and hope for the best, both the Nets and Kyrie, after the separation it will be another test of time
for this superstar.

Only time will tell if the decision will turn to a good outcome or whatever will be the next thing that will happen...

The OKC thunder are 12th in defensive rating right now. Not at the bottom, but not on the top as well.

They just lost to the Warriors by a huge margin. The game will be held on Crypto.com arena and for sure, the arena will  be filled with fans who are excited to see the history. I don't know if it's only me, but I got a feeling that the Lakers will do the same as what they did to Kobe on his last game where he scored 60 points in 50 shots. I know Lebron will not shot 50 times to break the record, but there's a chance that Lebron will be their focal person offensively. I'll watch this one I want to see it even on livestream only.

On the other hand, Lebron averaged less than 30 PPG in his last 3 games so if this game will be a normal game for the whole team, there's a chance that Lebron might not break it against the Thunder, but if that happens, good thing that their next game will be against the Bucks on Crypto.com arena as well.

He's not happy with the management that's why he choose to ask for trade. But since he land on a Dallas which have good management maybe he might like to stay there especially he has  Luka which is proven to be one of the best and their current rooster is solid already. If Kyrie decide to leave after his contract end maybe kyrie just only want to make his name create noise again. If he keep doing that I don't know if there's still a team will get him in future even if he is so good.

But its speculated that after his contract with mavs he will not sign and decide to go with Lakers but let see if this happen.

Him staying with the Mavericks will depend on him.

Let's take note that he wants to be a Laker, and he will be a free agent after this season. If the Lakers will do everything just to get Kyrie next season then they might pursue him in exchange for their remaining draft picks and maybe some role players. The problem with Kyrie is his defense. Him and Luka aren't good defensively so expect that the defensive rating of the Mavericks will go down even lower now that they gave away defense for more offense.

[OgNasty]

Looks like TNT decided to pickup tonight’s Lakers game just in case LeBron does break the record. Personally, I think he goes for 30 tonight and leaves the record for Thursday, but seeing that tonight’s game was moved to TNT leaves the chance that it could happen tonight. Statistically speaking, odds are that he will be about 6 points shy after tonight’s game, but I’ll be watching just in case.

Yeah, it's good that we have seen Cam Thomas emerging as the new face of the Nets franchise. Did you see that shot he made in the 4th, like twisting in the air but still hitting the two? Yes, they lost the game, but they gave one hell of a fight, him and Claxton could be the next anchor of the Nets offense once KD is back in action.

For Simmons though, yeah, it seems that he is still not mentally stable to play after the drama he had with Sixers.

And he is destroyed for good and I doubt that he can recover it back.

Someone needs to step up and Thomas shows his willingness while Kyrie is no longer around and the main alpha(KD) Still resting,
that production is something that they need especially when KD is already playing with them.

It will be another interesting offensive power as he can adds up to a threat when everyone is already available,
not sure though with Simmons, like you mentioned he's really destroyed and even he already played a lot this season
he still showing differently.

Anyone seen the game between the Dallas Mavericks and Utah Jazz? what happened?

Was watching it when the Jazz was making a run, but I have to make some errands and then spoke to one of my friends about, of all the topic, about gambling. And when I come back, Mavs won already by a big lead 13 points.

But the announcer says that at one point the Jazz lead by 15? So it's a complete turn around? Kudos for the Dallas team for winning against a tough team in the road without Luka Doncic.

Honestly, Dallas was leading all of fourth quarter, they got an easy win. The real issue starts for them now, with Doncic and Kyrie playing together and everyone is saying the same thing; usage rate. Kyrie is a ball dominant guard, and Doncic is a ball dominant superstar as well, put them two at the same time on the floor and there will be at least one of them unhappy, maybe both of them.

If you give the ball too much to Doncic, Irving will be unhappy about it, and if you give it to Kyrie then Doncic will be unhappy, if you share between them then both won't get much and be unhappy together. Which is why this is going to suck for them for a long time, and bet they won't renew contracts with Kyrie this summer.

Nic is stepping up, Simmons? nah, I don't see him becoming the same player as he was with the Sixers. Cam Thomas is a young players so he has the potential to become a Booker or Tatum like player, can impact a team if he continue like this. Nic has been with Irving and KD and has been improving every year. And if I'm not mistaken, he has up his blocks, so he might be a good candidate for DPOY in my opinion.

Let's wait for KD to comeback, maybe him and Thomas could have a good chemistry. He might be the mentor for him and KD might enjoy this new role of his, let's see.

I see the same thing happening.  The league is in love with Luka and kyrie has too big of an ego to not be at least the 1(a) option on the team.  If he is treated like a 2 you will see him unravel.  He will ball hog and screw up what they are doing over there.  Luka needs stars with good character kyrie isn't that guy.

They just need more practice on them so they'll build the relationship and chemistry inside the ring. Both of them will end up with the same goal and that's win a ring.
In that case, they have to win each game that they'll face and they'll both need to adjust to the likes favorable to the team and not just on their own habits and desires while playing inside an actual game.

Ben Simmons is still young, there's a big room for improvement but he must work hard if he wants to be one of the best players in the league. I don't see that yet. He just played hard against the 76ers weeks ago to prove something but after that, there's no way I could see him making triple-doubles again.
If ever he want to continue that point-forward position then maybe he should try to learn to do things like the Joker and Lebron James.

Cam Thomas on the other hand has the shooter's stroke, this is not the first that he had this scoring madness. Back against Indiana he made 33 points and most of it came from a 2-pointer, he only made 3 distance shots in that game.
I think a bright future is smiling at him if he continues this scoring streak. (given the minutes)

Probably it's just him playing against his former team, and we all know that players wanted to perform better against their ex-team mates. There are moments when he got Embiid if I'm not mistaken.

But after that, he had games with 0 points to boot and then he sits out.

I really like this kid though, not that the limelight is on him, hopefully he will not melt under pressure with that two game with 40 or more points and then having that distinction with a young Lebron James doing that feat before.

Forget Simmons already because he will not be the same anymore.
The trauma that the Philly fans gave to him really affected him so much and so his basketball career.

Claxton and Thomas are the young players of the team that has potential I agree. Claxton has been the surprise big right now because he is leading the block and always having a double-double. Thomas on the other hand just had his 2nd consecutive 40 point game and with Irving out, Coach Vaughn might give him more playing time to showcase himself if he can be a perfect player for the team or not.

The problem with the Nets right now is, what will KD's next move after this. Will he stay in Brooklyn next season? Will he play alongside promising players? With Kyrie out, the chances of Nets winning a title decreased drastically and most of them didn't have a playoff experience or at least the only have less playing time when it comes to playoffs. Claxton and Thomas are inexperienced in playoffs (for me) because they are role players back 2 years ago. I'll wait for KD to come back and see how the new Nets team will be at the 2nd half of the season.

[OgNasty]

With 20 points at halftime it’s looking like LeBron is going to break the record tonight. When they were showing all the celebrities in the house for the game I had a feeling I was going to be wrong. After missing his first two shots he’s been on fire. 16 points in a half is still no small feat, but I feel like he’s got a chance to get it done. Hopefully he can find a way to get a win also.

[Road21Bitcoin]

History has been made! Congratulations to Lebron James surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the All Time Scoring Leader in NBA history.
