2024 NBA Season

I hate when young people that never saw a single game of Michel Jordan on TV or something and talk like he is the GOAT.
Few youtube videos don't make an expert, keep that in mind. And enjoy watching Lebron, he will clearly pass the all-time scoring record, which is crazy.

Well I guess I'm lucky because I have both witness the greatness of Michael Jordan and now Lebron James. As for me, different era, different GOAT.

Just like the 80s when their is Bird and Magic Johnson playing. But Michael Jordan is really different, imagine likes of Barkley, Malone, Ewing and other greats wasn't able to get a ring because of Michael Jordan. hehehehe

Damn. Joel Embiid got injuried during the New York Knicks game when he ran into his own team mate Markelle Fultz.
He won't be available to play during the beginning of the playoffs due to a broken face (reported as that being the injury ).
Hard luck for 76er's fans as that was their best player to advance on into next round.

This was really unexpected and imagine hitting up the floor with your face and same as you said this would really be a hard luck for 76ers fans since Embiid is their best player. He wont really be able to play at start on playoffs but well this kind of injury is much better compared if you would able to break your ankle or any other mobility aspects.Thanks for the link towards this news.

about 7 matches are missing for each team at the end of the regular season and many positions seem already decided.

In the Eastern Conference:
1) Boston
2) Toronto
3-5) Cleveland, Philadelphia, Indiana are fighting from third to fifth place
6-8) Washington, Miami, Milwaukee are fighting from sixth to eighth but certainly all qualified for the playoffs.

In the Western Conference:
1) Houston
2) Golden State
3) Portland

Oklahoma,San Antonio,New Orleans,Minnesota,Utah
they seem to be favorites for qualifying for the playoffs and are fighting for places from fourth to eighth.
The Los Angeles Clippers (and minimally Denver) have some chance of qualifying for the playoffs but have to win almost all the remaining matches.

San Antonio still showing their pride,they still up in this conference but even they will survive the first round, the second one might be very difficult for them, Houston and GSW are still the favorites inside the west and have a much bigger edge to become the season champion, I'm a spurs fan but I
can't see any chances for them to defeat the young and hunger teams.

Wait until the playoff will start, they have a good momentum going to the playoffs so that gives them more confident to play with any team.
They might not have their best player now but LA is just doing its best to make this team a threat again, I will respect this team and maybe put my money on the season winner first round.

The Western Conference standing is an uncomfortable place to be with right now especially if you are one of the fans supporting the 4th -8th spot of the conference as they all have identical records. 44W-33L for Spurs, Timberwolves, and Thunder and 43W-33W for the Jazz and Pelicans. With 6 remaining games this will be a close battle where it would determine what seeding they will have in the playoffs. Not to mention that Clippers and Nuggets still have a short for the 8th or even the 7th spot of the play off seeding.

Well not too long ago, people are already counting out the spurs in the playoff scenario and look where they are now lol. I also would bet my money on the spurs moving on to the second round. Coach pop has a very unusual habit of proving people non believers wrong

The west side really evolves a lots, the team manage to recruit key players and they got a strong line coaching staff from behind, I think
those who are still fighting for their respected positions coming to this next round will try to push harder and more aggressive to advance
and make sure that they've got some advantage against their opponents.

Good thing the Los Angeles Clippers got rid of Blake Griffin when they did. Cause he got injured just yesterday.
https://www.theringer.com/nba/2018/3/30/17181184/detroit-pistons-playoff-picture-disappoint
They saved themselves in paying him out for the rest of this years salary(cause they paid him $5 million just for sitting on the bench since the beginning of the season anyways ), so they let the Pistons take that on instead.

Oh well, I think they didn't saw that Blake with be injured that's why they traded him. The decision boils down the the team needed some changes that's why they have to let go of their 2 top players. (CP3 and Blake).

In the end, its just business and nothing personal, but yeah maybe they got lucky of offloading him at the right moment and that's too bad that he got injured and hope that he can recover soon.

Really interesting in the West though. We still don't know we will in the playoffs specially in the 4th-8th spot.

76ers still have a chance to beat the Cavs for that 3rd spot. Cavs have been struggling lately but its going to be really interesting once the Playoffs start. A lot of expectations for Lebron but this time hes by himself, hopefully Kevin Love can get back to that level he had before, because they will need all the help now that Kyrie is gone.

Cavs can still win, the playoffs experience will give them the advantage, now that Thompson and Love are playing plus they have
great addition, I think they are better this season compared to last season although they only did will when playoffs is nearing.

Are you sure of that?maybe they have experience in play off but the way i see it its totally different.They are struggling to win this last games.if Lebron can make mistake or even choking in the first half then they got into trouble.

Maybe it will be a blessing in disguise if they fall to 4th place because their first round opponent will be the 5th seed so that will be an easy task for them. Don't mentioned Lebron choking, that's one of his weaknesses and that is why many hate him for being a choker. hahahha. But let us see, fun to watch him still play high level of basketball at his age and do hope that the Cavalier will improved with Love and Tristan back in the line up.

Warriors SG/SF Patrick McCaw bad fall against Sacramento. McCaw is a good contributor for the Warriors but for sure after that fall he might be out for this season. A lot of people says that it was a dirty play for Vince Carter, as he extends his shoulder trying to defend McCaw. It was a scary fall but I hope its not that serious. Warriors is now facing a lot of injuries this year, Steve Kerr must adjust again for the Playoffs.

Micheal Jordan's charisma and attitude i think separate him from Lebron James. I was lucky enough to watch Michael Jordan plays at his peak and watch the beauty of his plays.

When MJ dominates the league he really get all the attentions, so it's really hard to compare this two superstars, they have their own era of domination
but just like what you have said, MJ's charisma and attitude separate him from LJ,  everything can be answered in different perspectives from each individuals who idolized this two players.
