2024 NBA Season

[Sanitough]

Lots of games left and there would be a lot of changes to happen that's why we cannot be so sure on the result since there might be changes to happen on top 9 and 10 on standing. But we can say that rockets still kicking since they are doing an impressive performance and there's huge chance that they can replace the 10th seed on the west which is the struggling Warriors. If they can able to win 2 more games for sure they have good chance to enter on play in. Don't know what happen to Warriors this season and it seems their current rotation is not effective anymore so maybe they need to change their strategy since they always got defeated nor struggle each game they played. A lot still believe that Warriors can get into the playoffs but I think the chances for that to happen is so low now that they losing and that can affect their morale.

I guess I know what is the problem with the Warriors. They should sit CP3, or just limit his minutes because he isn't helping a lot. He still has the passing ability and a little bit of shooting but he is a big liability in defense. I'm sure a lot of us here remember that the Warriors were on winning streak when CP3 was sitting, so he should start sitting now as they can't afford to experience another loss.

Although the game between the wolves was close, they had a good lead but allowed the home team to cover and that they loss in the  4th quarter.

They are not the same anymore because there are player/s in the team that just live on his name but not on his actual contributio.
Just like uncle drew said " he got a million dollar move but 50 cents finish".. LOL

As for the Rockets, they are continuing their winning streak, and looking at their remaining games, most of them are against bottom teams already compare to the Warriors that has a harder schedule than them. TBH, I'm thinking that the Rockets might end up getting that 10th spot or even the 9th if they continue to play like this. Surprisingly, they are doing this without Sengun. I guess it's a blessing in disguise for the team because players like Jalen Green and others are stepping up, still fighting for that play-in spot.

It is indeed very surprising that they are doing this without Sengun. I find it almost incredible that how these players are playing now, compare to 1-2 months ago or even last year. It almost seems like something magical has happened. That being said, they were up against some relatively easy teams and managed to got the Ws but they are in the mood now, they will probably continue having a streak. They play with a different tactic without Sengun, which is very normal. There is only one reason for their new success, and that is that they started to made threes. Last month they shot so badly that it was very difficult for them to win games in the nba.

Will based on my observation most of those team they defeated in last 10 games are not even making playoffs or even make play-in tournament this year and should they really win against that team (Jazz, Portland, Spurs and Wizzard). Even they're close to Warriors for able to play play-in tournament still for me they will not making this play-in tournament this year. And I think these last 12 games only 3 games of them will win for Rockets.

Still plenty of games to be played mate. Anything can happen, the Warriors, Lakers and the Rockets, they are close to each other but it's also possible tha teams above them might drop in ranking. The Warriors really struggled, I mean they loss again the Wolves, their 4th quarter was bad and Klay could not sink the game tying game. Timberwolves are just too good this season, they loss KAT but they are still rolling.

The Warriors? I guess I like to bet on them to make it to the playoffs, if there's an odds, I like to see. Also, I checked the championships odds in the last few days and I see the Warriors having an odds of x45, guess it's very attractive, what do you think?

Lots of games left and there would be a lot of changes to happen that's why we cannot be so sure on the result since there might be changes to happen on top 9 and 10 on standing. But we can say that rockets still kicking since they are doing an impressive performance and there's huge chance that they can replace the 10th seed on the west which is the struggling Warriors.

A lot still believe that Warriors can get into the playoffs but I think the chances for that to happen is so low now that they losing and that can affect their morale.

Nah, the Warriors dynasty are long gone. Their small ball play don't work anymore. Now, they are on the brink of being eliminated even in the play-in tournament. The Rockets are red hot winning 9 of their last 10 games and now they are on 8-game winning streak, while the Warriors are on a 2-game losing streak. The Rockets could've surely make it if Sengun wasn't injured, but I also think they can actually make it to the play-in this year. The Warriors have a tough schedule ahead that could potentially extend the number of losses.
The Lakers on the other hand may have already secured their spot in the play-in after winning 3 consecutive games and established a comfortable lead ahead the Warriors in the 9th seed.

There chances are getting slim, how many games we have left? 12-13? If they don't start winning and then the Houston Rockets continues with their winning streak. It might be over for the Warriors this season. And that experiment of having 30+ big 3 or big 4 if we wanted to call it with CP3, it's not working for the Warriors.

And they should have peaked as we close down the regular season, but the 2 weeks of March was brutal to them, Curry misses some games and they continue to struggle against top and defensive team. Houston though also had a tough schedule in their last games left so it will be interesting to see them playing great specially if they are teh underdogs.

They've got a good lead during the first half but the home team made a comeback rally in the 2nd half and take another home win, I agree with your observation, CP3 still have his skills but in terms of defense with taller and quicker players he became a liability, bringing him and Curry together is a risk that the oppossing team may take advantage, though they can guard up but the 2nd chance points that where the competition, Gobert take that advantage as he has a double- double performances here.

No offense with CP3 the chance of having a ring with the Warriors might be too far or the chance is slim, as even the play-in is not secure yet, Rockets is shadowing them and the chance of snatching the last spot can happen.

Offensive battle, LA LAkers versus the Indiana Pacers. What a score! That almost went to 300 points total. 5 points shy.
And because of that, the stats of every player are filled. And thanks to that I won this.


Crazy stats for Anthony Davis 36 points and 16 rebounds, he dominated the painted area and underneath the rim, that is where he got most of his points.
But the Pacers also have Siakam who had been phenomenal in 3-point plays using the attack on the paint.
Still, the Lakers won the game, and that made their standing get near the Dallas Mavericks. 39 wins for the Lakers, and 41 for the Mavs. The Lakers would need to win every possible game that they can.

The Warriors on the other hand sure played well in the first half but Naz Reid kept on countering them with his precise 3-point shooting. If not for him it could've been a blowout game because Antman cannot find rhythm early in the game. Wolves won at the end of regulation.

This is the kind of AD that we like to see in the playoffs, seems like they'll make it to the playoffs as they'll likely win the play-in in case they'll not hit the number 6 rank. It was a high scoring game, fast pace and the 3 point shooting is very accurate, 50% for Indiana while 48% for the Lakers.

We also have to notice Dinwiddie as he had some great game here, 26 points from 8-11 shooting is pretty much impressive.

Can't wait to see this team in the play-offs and I know it will happen so I'm backing them all their remaining games.

Even with monster stats of Lakers including AD it’s really surprising to see that score of Pacers is just 5 points lower than Laker. Pacers score aside from Siakam is just below 20 points that shows a team effort to counter the aggression of Lakers star line-up monster performance. This all the Lakers get with that AD total control on the paint.

Haliburton just score 12 that shows how important to create a play instead of personal stats just to win the game.

Nice win on your bet with that long betbuilder bet.

It is kind of frustrating that the Lakers just won by 5 points. They had a big lead; I think it was around the 3rd quarter when they subbed Bron out. I actually did not watch the game after that since I knew it would be a sure win for the Lakers because they had a big lead. Then hours passed when I saw the result: the Lakers just won by 5 points. It is one of the Lakers issues that they should fix, especially since playoffs are near and teams are unpredictable when playoffs come. But anyways, it was still a good game for the Lakers, as 5 Lakers scored in double digits and 4 of them scored 25+ points, and this is the first time the Lakers scored 150 in a single game after many years!

I hope they can continue this pace, win the play-in games, and be tough in the playoffs.

Nah, the Warriors dynasty are long gone. Their small ball play don't work anymore. Now, they are on the brink of being eliminated even in the play-in tournament. The Rockets are red hot winning 9 of their last 10 games and now they are on 8-game winning streak, while the Warriors are on a 2-game losing streak. The Rockets could've surely make it if Sengun wasn't injured, but I also think they can actually make it to the play-in this year. The Warriors have a tough schedule ahead that could potentially extend the number of losses.
The Lakers on the other hand may have already secured their spot in the play-in after winning 3 consecutive games and established a comfortable lead ahead the Warriors in the 9th seed.

Well, I'm a Warrior fan, and I will also say that the dynasty is over already.

The dynasty gave the Warriors 4 titles so, I guess that's a huge achievement for them already. Small ball set-up still works, but with the current rosters of the team today, it's hard, and the Warriors had a small line-up, but their offense is one of the best a few years ago, and Green is their best defender at that time, and he's an excellent defender of the paint that's why it worked for them.

Currently, the remaining games of the Rockets are somewhat better than that of the Warriors, and as much as I want the Warriors to at least stay on that 10th spot, it seems like their chances of staying on that spot is slowly withering away, and the Rockets are coming to take it. Right now, the Rockets have the momentum with their winning streak while the Warriors on the other hand, is on a losing streak. I hope that they will recover from this slump, and gain some momentum again with only 12 games remaining.

Warriors do look like they may have some trouble and if they do not end up doing better then they are going to end up missing the playoffs. To be fair they are at a stage where they could start being bad too, people are expecting way too much from them. Imagine a team that is doing this much, it is really important to realize that you are not going to end up with anything that would be crazy, it should be as normal as it gets and not have anything that will change in the end.

I hope that people could see that possibility as important, and we are not going to get anything marginal out of this. I hope to get it made one way or another, and should consider the fact that we are going to get something good from other teams being better.

Can't wait to see this team in the play-offs and I know it will happen so I'm backing them all their remaining games.

As long as he is healthy, he could dominate anyone inside the paint, even against the best in the NBA right now, Jokic, Giannis and a healthy Joel Embiid. Dinwiddie also has a great games with the Lakers, now he shows his offense, unlike in the other games wherein it was his defense that shines.

For the Warriors, I do agree, the dynasty is over now. And if by chance, they won't make it to the play-in if they continue on a losing streak. While the Rockets are also not assured of the last spot, they are doing good going into the last stretch of the regular season.

They are in trouble right now, their game against the Wolves is very important and they let that one slip away. Obviously it will put a lot of pressures from them to win their next game otherwise another L and a win by the Rockets will give them the same record and there are a lot of remaining games that might change and switch their position.

I hope that people could see that possibility as important, and we are not going to get anything marginal out of this. I hope to get it made one way or another, and should consider the fact that we are going to get something good from other teams being better.

Everyone is trying to get better, as I have said, the Rockets are in a winning streak and chasing them out of the last spot. Celtics are cruising in the East, but the West still anything goes, Clippers will have to win as well to gain home court advantage and so are other teams.

The Rockets have really shocked me with how well they played this year.  I had them figured to be one of the worst teams in the league and they've shown that isn't the case.  They probably should have been so they could rebuild, but you have to love that they didn't and instead gave it their all.  I don't think they have any chance of getting out of the first round of the playoffs, but they honestly had no business getting that far.

The Boston Celtics had a legendary regular season and are now 57-14. I think it's risky to bet on their last matches, because they can rest the main players to enter the play-offs fresh. They still have a solid team because their rotation is wide, they can win the remaining matches, but you need to look at the odds carefully before placing a bet. Everyone from Tatum to Kornet played well during the season. I see their way to the finals in the East open. In any case, the teams in the East other than Boston are almost very close to each other, both in terms of strength and winning percentage.

They've been a consistent top performing team in regular seasons for the past few years so the 57-14 record is like a normal thing now. Yes, I can agree that you may want to re-evaluate betting on them just because they are the no. 1 team. They do not have the same incentive to play hard compared to teams trying to secure a playoff or play-in spot.

In any case, the teams in the East other than Boston are almost very close to each other, both in terms of strength and winning percentage.

They are not that invincible or too far ahead of the rest.

Yeah, but they have to keep that winning momentum, and going for records like 60+ wins in a regular season with the best duo on the NBA right now, and the unicorn and Jrue (who is still injured as far as I know), but they keep on winning.

So if I'm the Celtics, just go and play hard in the last remaining games, but try to prevent injuries though and I think it's going to be hard for any team, not just in the East to beat them in a 7 games series. They might lose a game or two, but definitely, might go for 4-0 against any team in the playoff.

[TravelMug]

And it looks like the Houston Rockets are going to continue with their winning streak as they lead by double digits against the Portland Trailblazers. And with this win, they are now just half a game behind the Warriors. And it's time for the Warriors to win in their next game, but it's tough as they will have to travel to Miami. We all know that they are not a road team. Although they are a slim favorite here, not sure why, perhaps there are a lot of injured players in the Miami roster. But still we can't discount the fact that the Warriors have been choking when they are in the road. Despite that, I think the Warriors are going to fight like this is a do or die for game in a game 7 series and the championship is on the line.

Yes sir, they are now tied with the Warriors in wins, if Warriors will lose on their next game (which is likely) vs the Heat, they'll drop to number 11 and the Rockets will replace them. And the consistency of Green continues as once again he led this team to win with 27 points. His game has really matured, thanks to the new coach that was able to utilize the talent of this young team.

Warriors have to work their way hard just to be in the play-in, just uncharacteristics for the Warriors as they usually dominate, things have changed really fast...fast... fast.....!

Oh LA Clippers, what a mess.
Defeated by the Philadelphia 76ers without Embiid,  and are now defeated by a team that played back-to-back on the road, both in LA. But considering how exhausting the game was yesterday against the Lakers, I bet the Clippers could take advantage of that but that is the case, their slowness is what the Pacers took advantage of.
Fast game, the Pacers love that kind of game and there's obviously a big difference between them and the Clippers, fast break points, transition plays, and the Pacers are having a hard time catching up with them.

Well, at least the Clippers are still safe in the 5th spot, but they will have to win some games to secure that and go to the playoffs without running into a play-in tournament. Because the Kings, Mavs, and Suns are just behind them with 2 wins difference. They have to be careful with the Mavs because they are playing awesome games in the last few game. 4th winning streak.

I can't believe the Pacers could still play that fast pace game in their favor despite playing a back to back game. The good thing about this b2b game is that they did not travel anymore as it's all in LA. However, the Clippers skills seem to be diminishing already as they have more losses than wins in their last 10 games, 4-6 is the current record.

I agree, the clippers are still in safe position but they will not remain in that position if the trend continues as the 4 teams behind them are doing great so far. So there's a possibility that they'll drop to be in the play-in tournament if they'll not be able to fixed the issue on time.
