2024 NBA Season

[Ziskinberg]

The derby of day is definitely Celtics against Rockets. It is really hard to predict the winner there. That match looks like worth staying late to watch it.

Interesting game. I can't predict on who's going to win on this game but Rockets did lost with their past games and has broken their winning streak. Boston is leading now while Rockets on the 2nd spot, well I can't give any insight about this game though.

I'll bet on the team who are desperate to win and that is the Rockets, they are playing on the road but this time they should show up against a good team which is the Celtics. Paul is questionable to play tonight but I am hoping he can make it today and play the Celtics so it will be an exciting match, they cannot accord to extend their losing streak anymore.

Yes it's hard to predict. Surely this will be a close match.

Chris Paul will not able to play while on Celtics side, Jaylen Brown is the one who will missed.

So that's going to be the handicap for Celtics but still they are quite strong for now and I can see that they'll still have some chance to win oh what I'm saying.

I just said that its' hard to predict this game.

This might be the last year for Lebron James to win the Finals and become four-time NBA Champion. Go CAVS!

Why do you think so?
When it comes to lebron James skill, he is a beast but he is past of his prime, if Kevin Love will be injured (I hope not) then it will be difficult for him or he might not even survive in the Semis, Cavs right now has a very good chance in the playoffs But making your name again in the top of the basketball world will be difficult.

NBA games are so hard to predict. I know basketball very well, but to predict NBA regular season is really a challenge. I am much better with Euroleague basketball. Reason? Well NBA is just a show in a regular season. Just in playoffs they start playing hard and as they are supposed to. Just like Euroleague guys are doing everything singlegame game.

Anyways, I will give my best with the NBA this season. I wish luck to everyone!

I don't think it is just a show in the regular season, the players are willing to injure themselves in the top 16, and have you seen James played or Westbrook? They are trying hard enough. They are playing hard every game, the coach are just aware of the health of the players that's why they are being sit down in some games. But still I can't just call it a show, a regular show, it's their life, their game and they're sports. And This is where amazing happens.

It's amazing how Kings are standing like a real kings over Cavaliers right now but the bookies gave them 4 to 1 dog

Cavaliers are such a sucker team. If you bet on them to win they lose easy games.
It is Sacremento for god's sake.
Lebron was even playing and they lost to them by nearly 20 points.
And these were the champions last season?
 

Remember they don’t have Isaiah Thomas, third leader scorer in the NBA last season. Also, they don’t have ITs back up, Derrick Rose is still out. And is still regular season, we all know in the playoffs Lebron James is another player.

Real talk. Cavs is different when it comes to play off season they will show how great the team is when its needed, with the leadership of lebron they can easily comes up and regain the east title, we are still in the regular season and so many frustrating games ended under dogs stealing a win with super power teams.

This is why you should never rely on Cavaliers to win when you are certain they will even with Lebron in the line up.
I was thinking it was a sure thing as the odds were at 1.21x just like the New Orleans Pelicans were and they had a comfortable win with outscoring their opponents by over 20 points.
They were NBA champs just the season before.
But last night they did not look like it with Love not being able to score their clutch 3 pointers and Lebron not even being able to put in simple layups that he normally would do without even looking at the rim.
They were playing in the fourth quarter as if Vegas bookies paid them to lose it so they could cash in on all the suckers that bet on them at those odds on huge ticket parlays.
Never again will I put my trust in Lebron and those Cavaliers.
Never again.

Is one of the best years for Lebron, probably the best player of all times NBA.

He's ruled out for tonight's match on Boston. These two teams who looked good at the start of the season is now constantly losing at the end of this month. Celtics can't also afford to lose because if they do Raptors have a chance to take the 1st spot and secure it. I like Boston to win tonight so they could continue to hold their 1st seed for the playoffs and I have a bet on them @2.09.

Edit:  What a game, didn't expect celtics to win after being down by almost 30 pts.

[Khristian]

Who are your guys early favorites to win the NBA Championship this year?

I would have to go with Golden State at 5/1 to repeat and win it all again.

yes i think back 2 back champion for the golden state warriors with a new player for that team i think no one will beat the warriors.maybe cavs have chance to face the warriors in the final championship final i hope best luck for the cavs fan

[vennali]

Celtics with an impressive win after being down by 28 points. Loads of drama in the last few possessions. Rockets could have easily won it at the end but Harden messed it up. Frankly speaking, I dont think any of those Hardens last 2 attempts were fouls. It was Boston home game so, I expected the refs to side with them and make calls. Marcus Smart is the king of flops. Great game to watch anyways. Thankfully I didnt have any money on Rockets. I would have been super pissed otherwise, haha.

[freedos]

that rockets match is fucking rigged man, seriously wtf ? and that ref though, bs af!

Things like that happen quite often in the NBA. Refs are just awful and it has been that way forever now. I kinda believe NBA is just for entertainment just like WWE. I am not 100% certain on it but its hard to disprove that it isnt.

[bhadz]

I don't know if Irving is their lucky charm man. Scores are very close and that's only a 1 point lead for the Boston Celtics. For the first early minutes of the game the score was 12-0.

Is somebody here the same love watching Nene move?

[vennali]

Trail Blazers make 18 points comeback in the 4th qtr against the 76ers. Its been a good day for 4th qtr action. The Celtics and now the 76ers. Napier was on fire in the 4th qtr and the blazers didnt even need Lilard to clutch for them.

Refs have some errors on call ofcourse buy they didn't to do that just to favor one team to another. I watch the game and the call was very close and prone to error. The refs are just giving a decision that is right from them. I think people are complaining just because their favorite is on the losing side that against the call of refs. Just have fan watching. GoSpursGo fan here so I'm on neutral side.

harakiri for Houston! Houston was in the lead for the whole match with a maximum advantage of almost 30 points! this defeat is really a bad blow, which could have negative repercussions in other delicate games like the playoffs!

It was a great game and a team being down by so much and coming back to win is becoming the norm now.
Saw it just the other night with a team being down 20 points and coming back in the late third quarter to win the game.
So no lead is safe in this season's NBA.
Not even those Cleveland Cavaliers being known to choke near the end of their games.
I think Boston killed them right before their Christmas day game that way.

I am a neutral fan too. I just like watching Basketball but when you watch European basketball and NBA.. you can easily tell the difference. In European games, refs have a control over the game and they almost always get the calls right. When you look at the NBA, even the easiest call looks like a tough decision for the refs. "is that a travel?" "was that an offensive foul" you can never really guess what a NBA ref would call and what not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf9RqnBnp0Y Watch this for example. SOme of those happen on a regular basis. Its just that most of them are brushed under a rug. There was also a expose few years ago that some NBA refs were corrupt. I am kinda sure that a lot of them are corrupt.

Im not a fan of either Houston Rockets and Boston Celtics but that was really a crazy call for the Rockets during the last seconds of their recent game.

The first turning point of the game is really questionable to me. That is clearly not an offensive foul by James Harden. Also during the last seconds, it must be reviewed but still got the majority of 2 refs. Ok moving forward, the second foul isn't an offensive foul too but what Harden mistakes here is, he should get the ball on the other way around because the goal is he must get the possession for a quick delivery to the bucket. What he do is to go straight to his defender and refs called it right away without Harden even stretched his arms. Yeah that was really a bad call and you guys must step aside being a fan here of either Celtics or Rockets because majority of viewers knows what should be the right call.

But above all of that, that late seconds wrong call might be avoided if Houston Rockets able to maintain their large lead. They just really blew that large lead as their advantage. They didn't able to stopped Celtics rally that's why they lose.

Move on now....

Thought that camera review on calls would eventually stop all these bad calls made on the court by the referees.
But it seems that it just makes it worst.
Same thing seems to happen in soccer matches too so the people who are routing for their team can never seem to win when the referees are calling the shots and costing their favorite teams those games they should of won.

I am very sure that James Harden not barged into and push the player down, they would have made the basket and won the game, it was really unforunate and what makes this all even more painful was the fact that they gave Celtics the chance to come into the game and win it.

[tabas]

Is one of the best years for Lebron, probably the best player of all times NBA.

When it comes to comparison of the best player of all times I'll still go with the old times and that is Michael Jordan. There are some people and sports analysts that are comparing these three, Jordan, Kobe and Lebron. They are born on different ages and they have their own era's.
