2024 NBA Season

Well, what a game I just watched between the Cavs and the 76ers. 76ers up at halftime 78-55 and look in complete control of the game, but then the Cavs had a great 3rd quarter and made it a one point game at one point in the 4th. Lebron had a chance to send the game to OT in the last 2 seconds of the game but missed the second FT. Great game by the 76ers but you cannot blow a lead like that, they started double-teaming a Lebron James that had a 40+ point triple double and had to rely on the Rookie Cedi Osman who missed two wide open 3s to take the lead but who couldnt handle the pressure, great win by the 76ers in this really important game, now they are ahead of the Cavs in the Conference. Watching this game I noticed how much help Lebron needs and how good and unexperience the 76ers can be.

Im not really underestimating 76ers capability in between the team of Cavaliers not to be biased but i do see cavs can do this but i didnt anticipate or somehow expected on what would be the outcome. Lebron did his best and make it to overtime but still 76ers do still able to take the lead. 132-130.If they would keep that kind of cooperation and gameplays then they would really be competent when playoffs comes.

This game only showed that they need Embid, the center who replace him is not scoring like he is doing.
With the way they play which is very inconsistent, this young team who ha no championship experience yet will be having a problem when playoffs come.

I agree, Joel Embid is their main man. They can't win a series without him in the middle. Also they are one of the least experience teams coming to the playoffs. If Embid won't be back this coming playoffs then they have to wait yet again for another season to try to go to the Finals.

Well even with embiid there, i don't see the sixers going to the finals anyways. And it can't be used as a reason why they can't up their game. I don't think they are thinking about that. You have to prepare with what you have. And ben simmons is solidifying his case to be this year's rookie of the year in a very stacked and talented batch.

This amazing regular season is coming to an end. It's really interesting to see who will end up where, especially on the West.
Personally, I would like to see Nuggets making it to the Playoffs, and they are holding fate in their own hands.
Now, they are playing against Clippers and they are looking pretty good. After that, they will face Trail Blazers and against Timberwolves, their direct opponent for Playoffs, on the season finale.
I would say that they have pretty good odds.

Let us not talk about the finals yet, they are just starting their journey and they are still a young team.
For me, I would be very happy for this team if they can win in the first round, but like I said, they need Embid to make it happen.

But hey Cleveland really fought with their might and Lebron got 42 points. That is without Embiid in 76ers.

You cannot tell what will happen. If all will play well then they can really get a shot with the Finals.

Looks like Westbrook got what he wanted taking a safe spot with a win in Houston. A great game with two offensive teams. Brewer might be a little off with all those threes but I guess team effort made solution to win it.

True, they played well and that was without Embid. But, you need to understand that team was compiled with mostly rookies, so you can't expect them to play high all the time and make it to the Finals.

About the Thunders, they look pretty unstable and unconstant. I don't think they will do much in the Playoffs.

I just noticed that Lebron became a ball hogger especially in crunch time. 76ers lineup is deep the recreation and process are now showing off. But I must agree that Embid's intensity on court is a factor for the 76ers, but let us not forget that simmons is the initiator for the team.


I must say that Embid's capabilities is in a top notch. But don't you forget that 76ers also have a deep line up. That can work with or without Embid. Especially that simmon's acts as there playmaker and the leader on court. I see embid as moral booster for the team though the potential of being the leader is there.

Correct. Even before when he does like 38 minutes of gameplay in Cleveland. He gets the ball everytime and do an isolation.

It is a good thing if he can score everytime but it takes off the energy of the team.
Handling the ball for a second for every team mate could make a lot of difference. Somehow it will give them some energy.

After he scores who will be energized to defend?

Thats because LeBron can initiate a good play everytime he has the ball, and when he penetrates their will be a help defense from the opponent leaving an open man on his team. LeBron is unstoppable when being defended alone, there are only 2 to 3 players who could guard him alone. Ball hog is different from being a Captain.
Ball hog is a score first mentality.

[Lionidas]

Couldn't believe Harden with the nearly as good "Golden state 2016-2017 season" Houston Rockets team's record this year could not put away Oklahoma City Thunder last night.
They were knocking threes all the up until the middle of the final quarter. Then Westbrook turned on his rockets and a couple of plays (as in a steal and a setup to another team member for the score) later, they were up 10 points.
Harden got he ball stolen and then blocked with his famous lay up going hard to the rim.
I can't believe they did that going into the playoffs cause it doesn't show they are ready for the first round if they can drop a game like this in the clutch of the fourth and final corner.
The game was meant for them to clinch a playoff berth so it wasn't like they could of dropped this game if they wanted too.
So what up Harden?

You can't win all the games you want. Maybe that game is for Oklahoma City Thunder because Westbrook is so determined to win that one. If that is game one of a series, for sure the Houston Rockets will make some adjustments on their defense to contain Westbrook. Playoff games and elimination games are so different.

Thunder VS Heat
Thunder -3 @1.94

I'll go with the home dog, Thunder is good but not against a defensive team like the Heat, also I think the rebounding could be a big factor here.
Whiteside will surely dominate from the inside and I think the Heat will not easily give the win to the Thunder if ever they will loss in the game.

I'm on the opposite site +3

I agree, All teams are defeatable. There would be an on and off nights for the players, No matter how good a player is not all of his shots are going in. A single game cannot determine the future of the team (not unless they didn't do anything to adjust based from that game), OKC just had provided good plays and played smart basketball. Westbrook on the other side is really a top notch, his desire and passion for the game is one of a kind.

Well the thing is, it's the same dilemma the rockets had when playoff time came in last season. There were lots of expectations from them and they didn't live up to it. Though the addition of chris paul may be the answer to that, one can't help but think if that game against okc would be a preview of the playoff rockets

The way I see the game was the Houston Rockets are just polishing up their game, and winning is not one of their purpose against the Thunder. And if you look at the minute played by their 4 benches you will see that Gerald Green played for 28 minutes and Luc Mbah a Moute played for 25 minutes and the rest played for more than 10 minutes. The bonus here is if the Thunder gets a spot in the playoffs Harden, Durant, or Westbrook might be facing at least one of them. This might be a thrilling series to watch if that happens.

Nice win on the Thunder, not a bad result for the Heat tho looks like there going to finish 7th in the east so taking on a wounded Celtics shouldn't be an issue for them.

It seems like the Thunder are winning lately, this would help them going to the playoff stage.
George and Westrbrook are doing well and Anthony started to blend well also, they would be very dangerous although sometimes inconsistent.

No bets for me tomorrow but i'm liking the 76ers to cover and the overs in the Wizards/Celtics game.

Can you give me a reason why you prefer to choose 76ers? so what's your choice between Wizards and Celtics?

Inconsistency, that is true.
Anthony is having problems with shooting and freethrows. Once I looked at how he plays (I mean just looking at him for like 5 minutes of the game.
That is a forward with not much of rebounds and not that quite good with defense. They must really train them more at that section or else even a team with that is not good good take them down.
It is not just always offense when the playoffs come. It will not work.

Playoffs is really different and you are right, if OKC will improved this factors then they will really a team to watch out from the west, the big three
are really nice to watch when they are blending to well together, it's just not good when one of them is not doing well, the whole line up can really
achieved if the coaching staff will focus and fill out those important things one by one.
