2024 NBA Season

[OgNasty]

We’ve got the Lakers versus the Knicks on ESPN tonight. The only nationally televised game of the day but it should be a good one as both teams are playing well. Over the last 10 games both teams are seven and three. Both are on the bubble as they say for the playoffs so you can bet there will be a lot of effort made to try and score a win.

Once again, Poole's production has dropped significantly. I don't know if this will help them much. I understand that Curry and Thompson are the usual scorers of this team, but seeing Poole's low production sometimes disappoints me.

I'm sure they'll figure out how to improve his production, as Poole is capable of scoring huge numbers based on his past performance. It's just that Curry is their best player, so he is currently the one who is making most of the shots. However, Poole's production is not that important. What matters now is that the Warriors continue to win to secure a safe playoff spot.

If I were coaching this team, LOL... I would put Poole in the second unit. I think that would give them a good second unit.

I've always thought Poole would be better suited to come off the bench and lead the 2nd team too.  Still get his minutes but not clash with klay and steph all the time.  The 3 of them are all better with the ball in their hands and there is just one ball.  I guess that's a good issue to have.

Some str*p clubs have been dropping Ja's image, I thought that it wasn't him but after looking at the images and the fan's comments, they all tell that it was him.
It's not an actual big thing right when someone goes in there and has some fun but in his case, he's an NBA player and that makes it sense for that establishment to drop his image. If I were Ja, I'll do something like sue the management by releasing that image.

I agree, they just need to remain consistent just as how they've won against Bucks.

It sure looked like him to me. I’ve never seen so many one dollar bills piled everywhere either that must’ve been one hell of a night. The backlash is still on coming though. It looks like Powerade has stopped airing his commercials and I expect that Coca-Cola will announce he’s being terminated from his contract very shortly. This is going to end up costing him hundreds of millions of dollars instead of just the 50,000 he threw on the floor that night.

Yeah, the money on the floor was also noticeable. I agree that most of the concerns that I've read about that image are all about his sponsors and contracts.
That's a hell of a night for him but also another hell for his career not for the NBA I guess but for all of those sponsors that have a contract with him. We've seen how these companies react when some of their guys were involved in a debacle and they're acting on it quickly. I guess any pullout of his contract is to be expected for the majority of those companies that he's got.

It is now guaranteed that Durant will be out until playoffs. Which means that Suns will have to work hard to keep their position and stay in playoffs, when he comes back he will play probably either one or two games before playoffs or he will play one or two games into the playoffs, it will be checked again of course but that seems like a clear timetable for his return.

Forcing him to return earlier than he should could cause a lot of trouble, look what happened when Warriors pushed him to come back earlier, dude got injured again and lost a whole season, he wouldn't want to repeat that but he also wants to win another ring with a different team finally.

[Baofeng]

It's over now, the Nuggets still on the losing skid, they just lost to the Brooklyn Nets. But it was a good game as they comeback from a 11 deficit in the 4th quarter and just lost by 2 points. Jokic has the chance to take the lead, but he was double team. And then they foul and sent Bridges to the line with 1.8 seconds like, making 1 out 2. And in the final seconds, Jokic has again had the ball in his hands, but it was a bad shot in my opinion. They are still seeded number 1 in the West and slim chance to lost that seeding. However, they need to start to win again. This lost is big because it's in their homecourt. They will have to travel to Toronto for their next game.

Both teams will definitely play at their highest level tonight.
LA Lakers badly want that win to climb the ladder and be safe for a playoff spot avoiding the play-in tournament. New York Knicks on the other hand will be eager to break the losing streak. They cannot afford another one or it could become a confidence breaker.

Their next game against the Lakers will be more epic because they cannot afford to lose more games after they lose tonight and it will be more of an intense game for the Lakers as well because they are in need of winning their last remaining games. That will be an interesting game and looks like it will be best to watch it live. I wonder what the rank would be for the Lakers after the end of the regular season games by winning all of their games, is that really possible since they look like found their right rhythms now?

They might even make it to the 3rd spot or 2nd spot if they will win perfectly the remaining games of the season. We still have a lot of games left. 14-16 games. And they are 33 wins while the Grizzlies and Kings have 40 wins only. So they can still go up there if ever they will play harder and claim the wins.
It's going to be a rough road though.

Yeah, they should make sure that he is fully healed before they set him on the floor. If they want to win it all, they will make sure that Durant is healthy during the playoffs. It is just a few games left in the regular season and I do not think that the Suns will have a problem securing a spot in the playoffs. They should win with the current roster that they have even when Durant is not playing. They are 5 games ahead of the #8, they should be able to protect that lead.

It sure looked like him to me. I’ve never seen so many one dollar bills piled everywhere either that must’ve been one hell of a night. The backlash is still on coming though.

That will hurt him. He should have protected those contracts with his sponsors. He is young and should learn from this. There will be more sponsors in the future if he will be able to collect his actions and avoid more issues.

Giannis isn't playing but the game is balanced in first quarter. Both teams missed too many shots. JaMychal Green started good. It looks like the game will go head-to-head until the last moments. Current performances are below expectations.

It's already 4th quarter and exactly 1:22 minutes remaining in the time, I'm currently watching  . The bucks have high probability to win because they are up 5 points where the current score is 108-105, but still GSW have chances to Win because their match is really really close. Both teams are strong but the bucks is at the no.1 spot. It is sad to see that Giannis is not playing because he his a great scorer and also defender. Curry, Thompson and DiVincenzo are the hot scorers of the GSW tonight, so excited to see what will be the final score.

It happened just like I said after first quarter. The game went to overtime. Bucks couldn't play OT at all though.


Sixers had a quite easy win. Embiid played like a beast again and he rested in last quarter. Harden made 14 assists. Melton shot important threes when needed. Wizards couldn't stop this Sixers. The only positive thing for them today was Corey Kispert, he scored his career high 25 points again.
Five wins in a row for Sixers now, Cavs can't chase them.

If they continue to get these losses, there might be a chance that they might fall down in the standings especially now that the Kings are on a 3 game winning streak. I don't want this to happen for some reasons, but what if the Kings take over the top seed because of how the Nuggets are playing in the last 3 games? Kind of funny I know, and for sure this will not happen, but still there is a possibility. I hope that they will on the road against the Raptors to at least gain a bit of momentum
Anyway, the 1st half of the Lakers-Knicks has just ended, and it is a close match with the Knicks leading by only 3 points.

Currently, it's a Randle Vs. Russell show because both of them are scoring 20+ points in the first half alone. Randle scoring 25 and Russell scoring 23. Davis on the other hand scored 12 points. Which team did you put your bet with on this game?

Wow, I can't believe they are on a losing streak now. I thought they would win since they are playing at home, where they have a very impressive record. I would say that one of the reasons for this loss is Murray, who had a very poor shooting night. He only made 5 out of 19 shots overall, which is a shooting percentage of only 26%.

[Kelvinid]

Lakers had a mini comeback, but they made a wrong execution in the end. It was heartbreaking as they were unable to complete it, and the Knicks won the game, splitting the two games at the Lakers' home court.

They wasted a lot of time in the dying seconds and failed to foul right away, which resulted in their inability to execute a good game plan. It was a bad play, and they seemed to be experiencing a mental breakdown.

[Japinat]

Can't wait to watch tonight's golden state and bucks game, should be a good one on prime time tv, they should all be up for this one.

It was a great game that ended in overtime as both teams are really answering back and forth on the both ends of the floor.
Brook Lopez with a dazzling display of his defense acquired 5 blocks. But Kevon Looney won't just stay silent claiming 5 steals. Big guys doing their work and without a doubt, they play important key roles on their respective teams.
Steph Curry shined once again. Started the game with mostly perimeters and attacking the paint but ended with crucial 3-point shots and proving the reasons why he is still the dangerous player behind the arc.
GSW won.

In the end it was all Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, they are down in the 4th and thought that the Bucks are going to steal on at their homecourt. But Curry doesn't want to lose, hit back to back 3's and then the tie.

And in the OT, both of them hitting crucial shots. But for me it's their overall defense, Donte was really a good acquisition for them. But they really need Wiggins to play. Iggy try to step up, but I guess his age is the limiting factor.

Nice win by the Warriors! They finally broke their losing streak, but it was a hard-fought game for them. Even without their best player, the Bucks were not an easy team for the Warriors to beat. The Warriors need to improve if they want to become back-to-back champions.

Once again, Poole's production has dropped significantly. I don't know if this will help them much. I understand that Curry and Thompson are the usual scorers of this team, but seeing Poole's low production sometimes disappoints me.

Yeah, it's really not good to see Poole's performance drop a bit, but it's understandable as he is the 3rd man and so he received not much passes in game after Curry returns.But at least they have found a way to win against the Bucks and their home court, and that's what we say with the Warriors is that when they are at home, very hard to beat them.

Donte step up and contributed with his 3's. But Curry and Klay was the one who keep this alive against the Bucks in OT and it was over when both of them played that well in the extra 5 minutes.

Yes, that is somehow understandable because the Splash Brothers are now complete again and Jordan Poole is back being the 2nd option for the team but I think that is okay since he can still be an efficient role player to the main line-up but it is expected that he cannot get the same points because he is not getting the same time and moments.

Just glad to see the Warriors break their lose streak since Curry returned and it was a hard fought game just to get that W because Bucks are still a heavy team even if there's no Giannis with them.

Yes, they made it down to 2 points, but they allow the Knicks to score as they foul Josh Hart, and then make those 2 FT. I think it's just bad play in the 4th quarter as they look for more isolation play.

But good experience for them at least with this kind of lost, it's a winnable one, but they really need to really focus specially when they make the comeback in the 3rd quarter. But lost concentration in the 4th and it's kind late when they have to do the catch up again in the last 4 minutes of the game.

Yeah, but he knows that he is a public figure now, so everything he did on public, for sure someone has eyes on it, camera rolling and stuff like that. He really need a good circle of friends right now, not those gangsta because it can ruin him in the future.

If I'm not mistaken, Poole was made the second unit when Steph went back. But probably he is just having a bad scoring night.

But you can see he still has it, quick moves in the inside and his outside shots.

It's normal to foul in that situation, but what's not normal is taking too much time before fouling Josh Hart. It's just unfortunate that he didn't miss the free throw, and even if the Lakers made the 3-point shot, time was not in their favor. Maybe they'll reflect on what happened, as they came back but wasted the opportunity to have a chance to win in the end.

Poole's low production is because of him giving limited minutes because Curry came back already.

I don't know, but I didn't see Curry and Poole being on the same court together because they are playing on a same role. If they will play both, their back court will be very small, and that will not work with them at least in terms of defense. Poole exploded on his last games and that's because Curry got injured thus, he has more minutes to play. Now that Curry's back, he has lesser minutes, but his performance against the Bucks is simply unacceptable. 4/13 shooting? Well, it's not his night maybe.

On the other hand though, he was one of the best offensive players of the Warriors last playoffs when they won so, maybe we expect a better Jordan Poole when playoff comes.

They should talk and analyze what lapses they've made and try not to repeat that same mistake, almost a good rally but in that last dying minutes they've failed to have good decision making.

Still no LeBron and they are doing or playing with good chemistries, the winning chance is good for the Lakers
it's just a learnable mistake that they can work out and adjust to their future games.
