2024 NBA Season

[tanxingwo1215]

The spurs have lost the game against Houston in the first eight.

They have already won 50 games in 20 consecutive seasons.

They won't win 50 games this year, and they're going to make the playoffs!

GSW without Curry will suffer and will need to adapt, although one player doesn't mean the team HAS to perform worse he definitely had a huge impact carrying GSW.

Of course the warriors will suffer definitely without Steph curry , do not forget the first game at Auckland in the conference finals against San Antonio spurs when the spurs were devastating the warriors right before that stupid injury of kawhi when zaza steps on his foot . After that the series was over as every body saw . You can imagine if kawhi is healthy and curry is missing the playoffs and they meet again . I still not imagine the warriors pass-through the spurs in this case , do not forget the rockets who are definitely more favorite in this case .

Not a hardcore Golden State Warriors fan here but that game just prove that San Antonio Spurs is just a Kawhi Leonard team. Can't imagined they didn't able to maintained that lead 20+. And moving on to that, I don't considered San Antonio Spurs as a threat now on the West and the best candidate here now is the Houston Rockets but like I said in the previous page, if only James Harden will not choked this time. Well that is based on my observation as a long time NBA enthusiast.
 
Golden State Warriors are composed of role players so definitely they will not "suffer" like you are saying. Chances of losing is always possible as upset always happened but for the suffer thing, I doubt it will happened.

Chris paul could very well be the x factor for the rockets this season and here's a big chance they'll be the ones challlenging the warriors for the west. Though i'm not counting out the spurs just yet and if they mamage to make the playoffs they'll probably test if this year's rockets is for real.

Damian Lillard fantastic game against Miami last night. Really surprised by Brandon Jennings, it’s almost funny how he made his debut return to the NBA.

Kinda agree here. Hope that Chris Paul will changed the usual behaviour of James Harden especially during the turning point game every playoffs. They have a big chance last year against the healthy San Antonio Spurs but I can't forget what Harden did during that last game.

Damian Lillard fantastic game against Miami last night.

Lillard have a monster performance on that game. 21 points in second half only and currently leading all players in the league as most scorer after halftime. And you know what, Lillard now enters the MVP race list meaning his performance is improving game by game. Portland Trail Blazers now enjoying their 10 game winning streak.

Yes, as I said before. Chris Paul will be a great help. His shooting percentage have been tremendous ever since he went on Houston Rockets.
3 point field goals also increased.
Just look at the stats of him when they played with Dallas.
30 minutes - 24 points 4/7 3 pointers with a freaking 12 assists. That is one hell of a game.
A great help indeed and also good with defense unlike Harden.
That could be the hole of Houston, Hardens defense although Ariza and Paul can coat this with switch.

The defense is quite improving for this team but what I see now is they have a good facilitator who can score as well when needed.
Rockets is one of the hottest team right now and I believe their backers are increasing so expect a good fight to whichever team they will meet in the playoffs.

I like Lakers tonight revenge game

[goldcoinminer]

I like Lakers tonight revenge game

They are playing at their hope court and both team has still a chance to make it to the playoffs, I think it's a hard fight tonight.
With that being said, I am expecting a non usual scoring which is a low scoring game, it's all about the defense tonight.

They are still holding and they are showing some good fight, lets see how they will be able to handle the nuggets inside their land and fulfill their wish
to go the next round, thomas and the rest of the team needs to step up and keep fighting to win this important game for them and for the fans.

The Los Angeles Lakers won this match. Congratulations to them and the next match is also another interesting match up with Golden State Warriors. But of course the crowd favorite would be GSW and not Lakers. I'm very excited for the play offs on who will be the deciding teams that will remain the league.

Good win by the Lakers, The lost will hurt the Denver team because they are now bunch in pack for the last spot at the already crowded Western Conference. They have a good lead only to evaporate at the end of third quarter and Lakers use this momentum to take the lead for good. Its a revenge win for the Lakers.

I think that Denver last 7 games will be all road games so its gonna be tough for them to get the last playoff spot.

[harizen]

I think that Denver last 7 games will be all road games so its gonna be tough for them to get the last playoff spot.

A total of 9 road games on which some of them are dominant teams. And for a total 14 remaining games Im seeing that 10 teams here will be tough for them so I chances of getting playoff spot for them has really low chance "as of now".

It's also been a first time to me to see that San Antonio Spurs is fighting for the bottom playoffs spot. It's not possible to win all of their remaining games but competing with Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Lakers (surely they will be eliminated), New Orleans Pelicans, Minnesota Timberwolves, LA Clippers, Utah Jazz , at least they can have a chance to seal a playoffs spot. Greg Popovich playoffs appearance streak is one of the longest in the league so it's quiet regrettable to see that no more playoffs appearance to them.

Really a big changed.

Lots of us do really noticed such changes and same as yours this is the first time i do see Spurs striving for the bottom slot.I didnt expect for this strong team to have such hardship.Talking about on remaining teams i can say that i dont really have any hopes that they would able to pass through but who knows the ball is circle and might able to see unexpected things.

it's really strange for San Antonio to risk not participating in the Playoffs!
San Antonio since 1998 for 20 years consecutively has always participated in the playoffs!
unfortunately the injury of his best player Leonard is determining this result.

It's time for them to rest now, or maybe Pop because he is already old.
If they will not make it this season, we still cannot erase the fact that coach pop is a legend, but since they still have a chance, let us not
make a conclusion first, however their chance to win against the warriors or the rockets would be very small.

Can't believe wizards almost lost to a depleted Boston.  Wizards aren't go far

Can't believe wizards almost lost to a depleted Boston.  Wizards aren't go far

Boston are playing at home so they have the crowd, wizards are not really a good team or shall I say a not consistent team.
Definitely they will face in the playoffs again if they survive the first round, then that would be the time where we will see which is the better team.

Also, the Boston had already secured the spot and I think they will take the no. 2 spot as the Raptors are consistently winning.

Can't believe wizards almost lost to a depleted Boston.  Wizards aren't go far

We all know that the bench of Boston is still a team to beat but given the fact that Wizards' is complete, I don't get it why are they having a hard time to get through Boston. Two overtime is a big hurt for Boston's lineup most of them probably ran out of gas but kudos to them, they didn't give Wizards an easy game. Wizards must adjust for sure, If they can't have an easy win with a depleted lineup then It' would be a challenge to them if they face a much more complete lineup.

Boston knows how to play defense while the wizards relies heavily on their offense.
In the playoffs where it's a harder challenges for the team, what makes the team wins is the balance defense and offense and that is the
things that the Wizards should figure out if they want to stay longer or win the championship.

There's no such thing as being "old" for Coach Pop . His mind is still the Pop we have to used to know.

Yes they have chances and like I said above, they can outperformed those teams I mentioned to battle for 7 or even at last spot. Im seeing Houston Rockets, Golden State Warriors, Oklahoma City Thunders and Minnesota Timberwolves are teams that can give a hard time for San Antonio Spurs to win. And the rest, surely they have chances.

Overall they must do 10-4 win loss record in their upcoming games for much greater chances to see them at playoffs.
