2024 NBA Season

Anyone else super impressed with the Twolves so far?  Its been so long since they have been anything close to decent(or make the playoffs). I don't want to get to hyped up yet because a lot could happen.  They are a super young team with tons of talent, in 3-5 years if the team holds onto who they have I could see them being the "next big" team.

I posted here way back months ago about the future of Timberwolves. Composed of young team and I think for about 2-3 years they will become one of the contender. BUT if we will take it to the current season, we can just say yet if they will be a playoffs contender since we are still on early phase. Let's see how far this team will goes.

Poor Cleveland lost at home to one of the weakest teams in this season - Atlanta Hawks.   I dont think their chemistry work despite they have a very good players.  Can they back on track or this season is gone for them?

Atlanta Hawks recent 2 games:

vs Cavaliers: 117- 115 WIN
vs. Celtics: 110 - 107 LOSS

Celtics is currently at top spot on the East while Cavaliers is not an easy team. Why think of Atlanta Hawks as weakest team? Because of record? No that is not the basis. They gave a good close game in their recent game.

If Cavaliers can back on  track this season, I definitely say yes for now. We are just in the early phase of the season so we can't conclude yet how teams will behave. Anything is possible.

They are a better now I think, with the way they show, I think they can be in the playoffs this season and will replace the Utah Jazz in the position.
It's still early but they are showing signs that they are more matured now, they have the ability to win games in the 4th as like they did with the Thunder and the Miami Heat. By the way, it seems like the Thunder hasn't found their way to win yet, the chemistry is not good and westbrook's performance is not as impressive as before, they should toss up that Melo man, I guess.

with how you think about the wolves i think its a yes as they found the missing piece of a leadership from butler as he's filling every aspect when the
team needed him most, wiggins and KAT are also performing well just praying that they wont got any major injuries for this team to continue toadvanced
to playoffs, regarding with OKC maybe they will surprise everyone when they started to blend as a team we are just expecting too much from them but i'm sure they will still a good contender from the west.

Do you think the Brooklyn Nets can make it to Play off this season because they have been working really good balanced in defense and offense. It's still a longshot to make the playoffs but 4wins through the first ten games pretty good considering where most projected them they are definitely going to going improve in both going forward is to find some balance between their early season offense from this year and the underdog grind it out defense they showed at the end of last season.

Well, let's see if they can continue to develop their team but I don't think it would be easy for them to make it to the playoffs.
The team that I like to reach to the playoffs is the New York Knicks, without Melo they are playing better and the new start is born in NYC which is Porzingis.

The Eric Bledsoe trade was inevitable to happen all hope is lost from firing their head coach to intentionaly losing games this team is onbiously tanking as their hope will now depend on the draft and I think they want to build on it. Saw an article that the owner is the one to blame here. I mean look how they let go of Isaiah Thomas and Goran Dragic they wasted their center pieces for nothing now they are doing good for other teams.

That's why I keep losing when I bet on the suns now, suddenly they are not scoring well and they have no ability to win games especially
when the game is close. I believe they will be in the bottom now, they need scorers now to improve their offense.

Just like the saying there's nothing impossible if everyone has been work out properly. I'm not underestimating the Brooklyn Nets, many are treating them as underdogs but in today's league everything is possible to happen. Why not give them a shot if they've been working all day long, practicing and keeping some strategic plans for each of their match. This is a long road for them but let's see on how this hope will go.

Great game today revealed the San Antonio Spurs. The final result I liked. The players the Spurs were the better team in all components of the game.

They are, but they would be better if they will have Kawhi Leonard back, now it seems like Rudy Gay is picking up the scoring responsibility of Leonard and I like that while they are waiting for the full recovery of their best player.

Other game that is fun to watch tonight was the game between the Blazers and the Grizzlies, that was really intense, I thought Blazers will upset the Grizzlies but that last shot of CJ did not fall. Still a good game and I know Blazers fans are happy with the way this team is playing.

Cavaliers vs Hawks
FINAL (117-115)

LeBron James: 26 points, 13 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 blocks,
Dwyane Wade: 25 points, 11 rebounds , 6 assists, 1 block
Kyle Korver: 23 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block

What a very close game and Dwayne Wade this showcased himself but that's not enough as these poor guys lost to their home court. I can feel the pain every time watching a team losses with their opponents at their very own comfort. Too bad for them with the start of the season and this type of games are alarming since the beginning is already over and this is the real deal in the middle of the league.

They will eventually figure out how to be consistent, the only problem is the chemistry and once it's sorted out, the cavaliers will win every game.
Now that they have more loses they will surely analyze their mistakes and improve it the following games but for me as a bettor I would still not gonna bet on the cavaliers until such time I will see them back to the winning track again.

I guess the chemistry is the big problem of them now and it's between Wade and with other teammates but not with Lebron. It will be built later on so still they are on the process of still getting with each other or they are truly having difficulty with this season? It's a wake up call for a team when they are losing consecutively or if not they have higher percentage of lose rather than winning.

The missing link is the main point guard.

Yes, Isaiah Thomas must be the playmaker. Lebron James can adapt the position, no doubt about that since he entered the league, but doing that always will just give Lebron another tasks instead of focusing on his natural position where he can get more productions.

The progress for IT is closed to recovery now but just for sure, Cavaliers will not gamble his health just to save their record. Also, even they will still experienced lots of losses in their upcoming games, they just need to secure playoffs spot even at 8th position although I don't think that will happened. Cavaliers is different when playing at playoffs so even they will have a bad record today, it will be back 0-0 once playoffs started.

While it's still too early in the season to worry about it, at this point the Cavs front office should be considering of getting another legitimate backup playmaker. Wade isn't as good as he was like back then playing for Miami.

Lol. Another back up playmaker? As if their current playmakers aren't enough. Just wait for isaiah to recover and then lets see from there. As you've said, it's still too early in the season. It seems the celtics got the better end of the deal lol

It was  a nice game for San Antonio Spurs, result of the final score is impressive and also they have a good run from their past game too. Keeping an eye to each team and Spurs got me as of now, I want to see them again play against Warriors with complete roster and without any injured teammate. The whole season is still way too long and everything can happen at the middle of the league.

I know this doesn't have too much to do with the current NBA season, but I want your opinion, I see so much talk regarding who is the GOAT of all time.  Now me personally I think MJ is easily the best of all time and its not even close. 

People actually put Kobe on this list, I think Kobe is easily the most overrated player of all time.  I would probably put him in my top 50, but he is probably right around 50. 

Thoughts on this anyone?

[gellag64]

I think the cavs are going to win it all even though they have been struggling lately i think their roster is the only one that can compete with the warriors speacially from a defensive point of view .

This is why Basketball is pretty much dead at the moment.  I personally am sick of these super teams and everyone else sucks.  It should not just be 2 teams in the game, I think the NBA has a huge problem if this continues.  I can't imagine they are doing good anywhere else besides the top teams as far as money earned is considered.

Im not interested in that topic honestly. The debate will never end because there is "love" "respect" and "hate".

Michael Jordan really a great player but he build his own legacy. Same with Kobe Bryant, Lebron James or who else will be put as candidate for Greatest Player of All-Time. We can't say who is the greatest as all preferred players have different nature around when they played. So I don't see why they are being compared.

Versus Houston Rockets? Most of their matches are very close to their opponents and it's a tough game for them every single time that they have a match. Don't just stay with the Cavaliers, they are not the only that can beat and compete with Warriors. Every team has their own strength and flexibility, they might not win on some other teams but there will be time that they can beat everyone.

yes, there are so many strong players who have played in different ages,
in a hypothetical top ten (in random order) I choose these epic players:
Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Shaquille O'Neal, Karl Malone, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan.
Maybe my favorite is Michael Jordan
