2024 NBA Season

Phoenix Suns Vs Portland Trail Blazers

The Trail Blazers are in a row recently, winning their last 5 games even against in form Rockets at home. This time against the Suns, the Trail Blazers are huge favourites to win the game.
On the other hand, Suns are on a 10 game losing streak but they have scored a lot of points lately. This game will most likely be a shooting contest as Suns and Blazers don't defense are weak and both teams will try to outscore the other team to win the game. Expect a lot of points for both teams. I am going for over 221.5 points.

Man, HOU is on a 3-game losing skid. Harden's wrist sure looks troubling, I hope they can recoup come playoff time. Same with the Cavs, if this goes on, there's gonna be no more competition to the West.

which is correct with these two teams they love to shoot the ball without hardening the defense for sure both stars coming from the competing team will showcase their shooting capability its also can be an easy game for blazers if they still chasing for more wins before the playoff.

-In western Conference it seems all decided for playoffs:

the first round should be this:

Golden State vs Portland
San Antonio vs  Memphis
Houston vs Oklahoma
Utah Jazz vs Los Angeles Clippers


-In Eastern Conference:

fighting for first place Cleveland and Boston
fighting for third place Toronto and Washinghton
Atlanta and Milwaukee are almost certainly in the playoffs.

Miami, Indiana and Chicago are fighting for the last two useful places in the playoffs

Tops seeds in east are far from being decided. Boston has 48 wins, Cleveland has 47, the Wizards have 46 and Toronto 45. In theory any of them could be first, and Cleveland might get lower than second seed it they keep playing like they are now

its seems that they are just playing around might be a fixed speculation but its really bad for their fans, bulls can be easily beaten if they didn't choked out, its better to wait until the play off before betting again with that favored cavs.

I think they are playing bad to get easier 1st round draw. I know this is a far fetched conspiracy but thats what I think it is. The games from 2nd round of playoffs are going to be a lot more grueling so, I think Cavs are performing under par so that they can get weaker opposition in the first round so that they can give their star players some rest early on and get the bench fired up. Once the 7th and 8th place is decided, Cavs will make a move. They will certainly try to avoid the Heat as the Heat have found good results against the Cavs. With just 0.5 games behind, Cavs can take no 1 spot with ease.

I don't think they are "throwing" games to get a easy pass for  the second round. We know how Lebron James is very competitive, so he always there to win. I'm sure they will find a way to win and reclaim the no. 1 from Boston. We will see the true colors of Cavaliers once they are in the playoffs.

They are not "throwing" games of course, it's just that this season was very complicated for the Cavs. The roster was again not properly get together with the losses of Delly and Mozgov. Again they had to bring in new players and while they did great in terms of getting the best talent for nothing (Korver, both D-Williams, Bogut and Sanders) they have failed to mesh with the rest so far.

On top of that there's certain some fatigue of having no real challenge until the NBA finals. I'm not saying the Cavs are in the NBA finals already, but that's what people expect. There's also the championship hangover factor. Plus some players are underperforming compared to last season to the point they are almost unplayable (Frye, Thompson, JR Smith).

With all that being said, if the Cavs have a couple of good games at the start of the playoffs and start gaining momentum when it actually counts then it will all be forgiven and forgotten. That's the bottomline.

Actually with this coming playoffs you're no longer sure. I believe the Celtics has a legitimate chance of upsetting the Cavs should they play the same level like they did this season, with the continuing 'woes' of the Cavs. Even the Raptors I suppose.

At this point the Timberwolves are doing a great thing losing games. You know why? Because there is no point of winning because there is literally no chance of making it to the playoffs what they need to do is to have a higher pick or good position in the lottery to have a chance of making it to the top 3. Hoping that in the next season we will make it to the playoffs for the first time.

what a win from bulls, getting back behind 10points in the final quarter and the stars took charge fans really enjoyed watching rondo and butler
carrying their team, its so nice if they can play big like this from time to time still got some guts from rondo what a game.

Yeah good for them I thought they will never win that game because of the 10points spread hopefully the bulls will made it to the playoffs right now they are in #7 spot

While it is spectacular, we all know Rondo isn't capable of playing with others consistently. That guy has too much of a basketball IQ.

Washington Wizards Vs Golden State Warriors

Wizards beat the Warriors in their previous meeting. Warriors are on a 10 game winning streak while Wizards have lost two of their previous away games. It is a good opportunity for the Warriors to avenge their defeat by winning Wizards by a blowout at home. My bet is Warriors -9.5.

quite interesting and odd 1.20 for gsw is also not bad might be a gamble for bookmakers, gsw is hard to defeat inside their home ground,
giving -9.5 handicap can be cover in this game, good luck mate and thanks for sharing your assessment.

[Reid]

Draymond Green another triple double that makes Golden State Warriors won the game against Washington Wizards.
It is a great night for that man although Steph Curry added a lot of points to make the win for the 63-14 rank.
36 points and 8 assists and the other plays are kind of too hard but he really did make it.
 Congratulations to the Warriors.

That was easy for the warriors, they are on a winning streak now and that is good for them as they need that momentum entering in the playoffs. Washington wizards looks like not a good team in this match and curry is really cooking tonight. Although I like the warriors but I was tempted to take the line +10 for the wizards since they have been playing great but I just realize now that it's really hard to win at Oracle.

The Warriors might want to rest their players in the last few games so they would be really fresh come playoff time. During this time of the year, a rest of 5 days or so would already be of big help especially for teams who are targeting a deep playoff push. I am sure other teams would already rest their players to better prepare for the upcoming grind.

Golden State Warriors 139 - 115 Washington Wizards

It was a good game showed by the Golden State Warriors and I hope that they will do the same lead in the score with their next games. Since I don't consider Wizards as one of the tier 1 teams though I'm not underestimating their players and performances but still GSW should apply this type of game for the next ones.

Well if it comes to it, I think dreymond can actually pour in the points as well as anyone in the league, it's just that he doesn't really need to considering all the scorers the warriors have. Though you can't really undermine the importance of what he does and he's a big factor in the warriors' run every season

Draymond is an underrated player, without him they will be having a problem in the paint, this guys plays hard and he has the heart of a real star. He does not care so much for the stats like other stars because his mentality is to always play like a team. Remember in the last Finals when he was out to serve his suspension I guess, the cavaliers easily dominated them in the paint and that is the reason why cavaliers were able to come back.

Speaking of triple-double thing....

..Russell Westbrook established his 40th triple double this season although a game loss against the Charlotte Hornets, 113 - 101. The MVP race is getting heating up with his only close rival, his former fellow teammate, James Harden.

With few remaining games this season for all teams, no single game must gone to waste by both Westbrook and Harden. Every single stats is an important factor for them to acquired the MVP title this season.
