2024 NBA Season

[wheelz1200]

Knicks dominating the paint so far.  3-16 from 3 ain't gonna cut it though.  They need to just hit some more 3s and keep defending the 3.  This is going to be a great series.  Expecting this one to go 6 or the full 7.  Need Randle back as well.

[sana54210]

Correct.
They need CP3 to step up his game one more time. He is the one who is always open while the two of their offensive players Brooker and KD was being muscled by Gordon and KCP. Not that I underestimate Murray on his D but I think CP3 can do better on this series. Become a leader again, make plays, or be the offensive guy if forced to the point that he is open.

Paul doesn't need to score much to be effective in this series. It seems to me that he just needs to be a good point guard and create easy-shot opportunities for Durant and Booker. Besides, if the Suns really want to beat the Nuggets, they have to find an effective way to defend against Jokic. I mean, the Suns' big guys shouldn't allow him to grab as many rebounds as he did in game 1.

CP3 is a great defender, and a great floor general who can read the other team as well, not just on offense but on defense as well, so even if he doesn't touch the ball in a possession he could still direct people by talking. This is why it's insanely important to keep that going, Rondo was a player like that too, he could read the other team so well that he could finish with zero points and his contribution could be huge.

CP3 needs to work hard to help figure out Jokic and his system, they do not play just carefree, Nuggets have a system that works through Jokic and CP3 could help them with that. Ayton on Jokic, Booker on Murray, that leaves CP3 and Durant open, they could do help defense. Suns is too good to just lose, they need to fight harder without a doubt.

Nah, the Heat turn it around in the 3rd quarter took the lead and that's it. No Randle for the Knicks so it's going to be a big problem for them. Quickley just had 9 points in the game. While Gabe Vincent started hot in this game with his shooting prowess. And as usual, Jimmy shows up in the game and score when it's needed. I just the experienced of the Heat is one of the big factor here, Lowry, and then Kevin Love, with that 3 outlet pass for easy points.

As I have said, the Knicks need Randle to play, they need his presence inside the court. The Knicks didn't have the rhythm in them after the first quarter. No spark and the Heat put a good defense and body on Brunson.

[Baofeng]

What a game by the Warriors in the road, Steph putting up 50 points in a elimination series, it was very close till the end of the second half. But we all know that Warriors is a third quarter team and so Curry pour everything he can in that quarter and it's was easy and smooth in the fourth.

So in the West, #2,#3 was knockout in the first round.

And now it will be Lakers vs Warriors. So familiar foe indeed, James against Steph but Lebron with a different team. Good season for the Kings though, it was really though but for sure, this is a big lessons for them to go against the Warriors and lost the series.

Worth to mentioned Looney's 20+ rebounds again.

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

Chef Curry recording 50, the most points in a game 7, damn. 30 of that is in the second half. He was given the green light to shot and he does deliver in the pivotal game 7 tonight. Steve Kerr in the post game interview says that no one can stop Steph Curry sending the message, and that is true, even Mr. Clutch DFox says that and Sabonis is lamenting the same.

So the question is, who is going to guard him from the Lakers, Dennis? Austin Reaves, D'Lo? For me Warriors are going to be a bad match-up for the Lakers. They have Wiggins to guard Lebron. And then Looney/Green against AD in the paint.

They had a good start but they are not able to shoot threes. Only Obi Toppin is the one sinking down three-pointers which is unusual for the Knicks team.
Also, they are forgetting about Gabe Vincent and he is always left wide open. 5/12 in distance shots, his first time getting 5 threes in the playoff series so that means someone in the Knicks team is forgetting his station. They will badly need adjustments, especially without Randle around.

Chef Curry, oh how sweet that win is. Game 7, on the road, they are not known to win games on the road and yet they blew out the Sacramento Kings.
It must've hurt a lot for the young Kings team but this was one heck of a good experience for them, they will be better next season, I don't doubt that.
For now, give it to the experienced ones.

Lakers versus GSW will be so much fun.

Curry really did it all in this Game 7, and the Warriors won on the road again.
They really did fool us when it comes to road games. From one of the worst teams in the road this regular season to winning back-to-back games on the road to clinch into the 2nd round? No one really can stop Curry. Even Fox in one of the interviews said that it's really hard to stop him. I mean just look at how he releases the ball, and the unpredictability of him. This is the reason why I believe that they can still get at title as long as the core players of the Warriors are still there.

So the question is, who is going to guard him from the Lakers, Dennis? Austin Reaves, D'Lo? For me Warriors are going to be a bad match-up for the Lakers. They have Wiggins to guard Lebron. And then Looney/Green against AD in the paint.

None. Simple as that.

If the Lakers can't guard Curry, the Lakers will just pray that he will have a bad night or they will lose. I mean the Kings who has younger and faster players that are also elite defenders can't stop him.

Reaves? Too inexperienced to guard Curry. He will be having a hard time following him.
Schroeder? I don't think so as well.
D'Lo? He will guard Thompson.

Take note that they also have Thompson and Poole who can just erupt anytime of the game. Now the Warriors have the homecourt advantage, but it's the Lakers. It hasn't been started, and yet I'm thinking of some good player match-ups already. Looney Vs. AD, Green Vs. Lebron. Curry Vs. .

It's like the rival teams are going to have themselves in the semis and that's no good for both of them. Well, on the other hand only one shall proceed to the conference finals and then the NBA actual finals. Both teams have vamped roster and they're all going in to this game 1.
While the others are already started their series, this is gonna be one of the most talked but since there are few matches left altogether. It's not that hard to monitor and watch all of these games.

Lakers versus GSW will be so much fun.

Definitely, people will have it think that it's like the actual finals but no.

[OgNasty]

A real bummer that the Kings weren’t able to win game 7 against the Warriors. I thought they were going to light the beam and end the Warriors legacy but it just wasn’t in the cards. Steph Curry showed why he’s one of the best of all time and they live to face the Lakers. That should be a great series to watch!

I hope you guys have realized that the Lakers ranked number 1 defensively since the trade deadline and AD just dominated the 2023 DPOY JJJ. The Kings defense is way below than the Lakers. The Lakers could actually put their normal rotation as is, they are not only defending Curry, but the whole GSW team. This is not a 1 on 1 match, it's a team match - so we don't technically analyze 1 on 1 match ups here.

Nevertheless, this is going to be a good series. Some might have said that the Grizz were a better team than the GSW, but I don't believe that either. The Grizz are so inconsistent offensively, If they can't make their shots it was an automatic L for them. GSW is a much better team than the Grizz actually and they are a much experienced team as well.

Definitely, people will have it think that it's like the actual finals but no.

If we cannot see them both playing in the finals, then this could be the best one so far.
It's good for GSW to take the last spot and I thought they will lose the game since its not their home court, well Steph proves to be one of the best. Now going to the Semis, GSW should prepare more because for sure Lakers is more eager to win here after losing many conference already.

[AbuBhakar]

People thing that Lakers and GSW is the top contender for the finals ignoring the existence of the monster Denver Nuggets. Nuggets is a very strong now compared last since Jokic already have a dependent team mates like Jamal Murray and Gordon. Last Year Jokic is the only one that doing both offense and defense with their GSW match. I believe they can beat whoever won on Lakers vs GSW since this two teams will have a hard time beating each other. Probably more physical game.

It's good for GSW to take the last spot and I thought they will lose the game since its not their home court, well Steph proves to be one of the best. Now going to the Semis, GSW should prepare more because for sure Lakers is more eager to win here after losing many conference already.

GSW beat Kings on their home court on game 5 while Kings do the same on Game 6. The pattern shows how this result has a high chance of happening.

GSW should prepare more because for sure Lakers is more eager to win here after losing many conference already.

GSW just recently beat Kings which is far more dangerous than Grizzlies because of its all around shooting accuracy. I’m expecting another game 7 match or Lakers choke since Lebron is always beaten by Curry even when he is on Cavs. I believe Anthony Davis needs to do extra effort here since GSW has a weak defense inside while Davis can score easy points by penetrating it more often.

it will be an interesting duel between Warriors and Lakers, but Denver is real winner here, whoever comes through this match, will have a hard time to get pass Denver and reach Finals

with Bucks already out, Denver now has a real chance to get title in their hands, and I believe that Jokic could net his first Championship ring this season, Celtics and Heat have good chance to see Finals from other side, although matches look really interesting

Exactly, Many people underestimating Denver because Lakers and GSW is full packed with all star. The current Denver is very strong and I don’t see any team that can beat them when they are on a good shooting accuracy. I agree that Bucks is a good match for them since Giannis can tank Jokic one on one. I believe Giannis is not on the perfect this season since they beaten badly by Heat after his injury occur. I really like Giannis experience Jokic last year playoffs when his teammates is useless when he is not on the floor.

This year Jokic has a lot of stamina and he can last until the last quarter with enough energy since he is not doing all the work inside and outside.

Celtics and Heat have good chance to see Finals from other side, although matches look really interesting

I’m still 50-50 with 76ers. vs Boston. I’m interested to see if Boston can shut down Embid since Phily is weak when Embid can’t do his jam. But they can beat Boston if Embid can unleash full force in the match.

Warriors won't stand a chance if they play forced games with such turnovers, such utopian thoughts against the Lakers. Payton and Wiggins must constantly attack the starting point, we have to do whatever it takes to wear out looney and draymond davis in this series, and we have to bring that giraffe davis up to the curtain in the logo in every attack, without exception. Then no matter who they defend the interior with.

They passed Sacramento as Steve Kerr finally did what he had to do. This team is a high pickn roll team. every player of this team trying to create other than curry is problematic, one of the best defenders of this team is gary payton and the pressure he puts on the opponent's attack is very valuable, in this team curry can come out in any game he wants and try 40 shots if necessary, he should try and in the playoffs he has to try and have extreme aesthetics or extreme aesthetics as in the regular season. There is no need for organized games. Simple and effective plans should be preferred over the opponent. Warriors, or rather steve kerr, did not accept these simple truths and because sacramento put a very big character, the series came here, but if this series had been played this way from the beginning, it would have ended in the 6th game at the latest.

I am always getting so excited at these stages of playoffs. Curry just played splendidly and it even gives me goose bumps at the moment. What he did last year with the title and what he did yesterday are just amazing.

Some players of the Knicks are showing off what they can do this season, but Jimmy Butler is much experience with this, and the set of players for the Heat is showing what they can do with this matchup right now even though the Heat have won this game we can not know for sure if the Knicks could get back up again, and besides it is only game 1,

I may have bet for the Kings but that Performance of Chef Curry is really something and should get into the history books I am watching right now Kendrick Perkins the once unbeliever that Stephen Curry can do it, was left with amazement with this game,

Curry really did it all in this Game 7, and the Warriors won on the road again.
They really did fool us when it comes to road games. From one of the worst teams in the road this regular season to winning back-to-back games on the road to clinch into the 2nd round?

Actually, I just watched the game highlights and when I did I don't know if that was the game highlights or a Stephen Curry Shootout, or best play of the year, it was masterful the whole game highlights were for him, the NBA must have love what they did on Game 7 of the playoffs, and surely even Kendrick Perkins acknowledge him now, Mike Brown is saying that Curry has carried in his back the Golden State Team and that he does what he does best, while De'Aaron Fox was really amazed and they can not stop Curry while he is moving around the court that they have let him do his thing,

I think also that's possible for Denver as they are all playing healthy and with the same good chemistry among the players,
the chance of advancing for the west finals might take place.

Though we can't conclude it yet as the series against the Suns are just started, we can only conclude after they already achieved 4 winning games.

On the other side, it's a good series again for both GSW and Lakers, another tough competition for the defending champ with a good complete
crew playing beside LeBron and AD, the winning chance is better.

A real bummer that the Kings weren’t able to win game 7 against the Warriors. I thought they were going to light the beam and end the Warriors legacy but it just wasn’t in the cards. Steph Curry showed why he’s one of the best of all time and they live to face the Lakers. That should be a great series to watch!

When the Kings let the GSW wins 3 straight games, they were in trouble and their chance of winning the series after that was really impossible because that was the GSW place and they know precisely what they going to do which was the Kings were lacking terribly. By the way, good games by the Warriors and they are gonna faced the Lakers which is really what the fans like and I'm telling you it would be like the old times again there will be lots of trash talks by both fans and also be the most watch playoffs series this year.

They don't let GSW to win but rather they became more eager to get back on their foot and their experience really show up that's why they successfully defeat Kings. But still a good season for Kings since they make their team goes to playoffs which didn't happen for long years. GSW and Lakers match up is another exciting match up to watch since we can see here if Lakers can defeat the defending champion this season. Expect lots of physicality with this game since both team want to prove something.

Physically LA definitely has the upper hand against the Warriors, so this matchup if good for them.
What's not good is the outside shooting of LA. They will get cooked from 3 if the Warriors have a half way decent game. Of course if they don't make their 3s they will be in big trouble, but that's normal.

Dubs are also lucky that they don't play against Memphis because against the Lakers they have home court advantage while if they had played the Grizzlies they would have played on the road first.

Seeing them playing weak on the road this can for sure make a the difference!

Dubs in 6 ( I hope  ) !
