2024 NBA Season

[Caladonian]

Westbrook's journey in the playoffs is over.
Although he did his best but he did not get the support from PG and Melo, still a good game for them as they were able to compete.
I think they need to evaluate things, and maybe change the line up next season, have some rest and enjoy your vacation Westbrook.

Thunder is out and it only proves that assembling 3 star players in one team would not always work wonders for that team. Still it boils down to who wanted to win the most and the chemistry of the team must be there all the time. Melo as we know is a liability when it comes to the defensive end of the floor.

Seems that the blend and chemistry between this three superstars are not yet being perfect, all of them are offensive and wanted to hold the ball, even how hard russell will try still he can't win alone, PG and melo needs to step up for him to lift the team, we need to see how the coaches will adjust
from what the end results of this trio, early vacations needs to be use to create more plans for the next season.

As I said here before, Carmelo have problems when it comes to working with other superstars. It is not about the chemistry anymore. That is a guy who wants to be super with just himself. It is like the Lebron thing but worse.
Look at the Game 5 4th quarter where Anthony didn't come in. Westbrook and PG13 is exploding with points  because they wont need to worry about another superstar being stepped when they do everything on the other side.
They should change their roster next year. Throw Carmelo for a a larger space in their salary cap.

I think so, Melo is having a problem when he is with a co-superstar in a team. I think Melo should should sacrifice the pride that he had and learn to adapt to the system of the coaching staff of the team he plays. Thunder is a Westbrook first type of game and he should accept that.

I really feel for Westbrook as he puts in so much hard work each year for OKC and so far hasn't got anything out of it in the way of Championships. It reminds me a lot like Kevin Durant and even Lebron in their early years where they made Championship games and even the NBA finals but couldn't get the wins. So maybe a switch to another team could help Westbrook achieve a NBA finals championship.

Yes, for me Carmelo is "one" of the problems that cause OKC to not advance to the second round against Houston. To be honest I want OKC vs Houston on the second round, but I guess we need to wait. It would be a exciting since OKC has the numbers against Houston this year. I even see some articles Melo saying that he is not a player coming off the bench. Too much pride but obviously he is already losing some steps and beginning to decline.

[Vaculin]

Now I can prove that the Celtics are a good team, despite the Injury problems they can still re group and play as a team.
I like their defense and offenses tonight, everyone is participating with a balance scoring, No Irving, no problem for this tested Boston team.

Next series is with Philadelphia 76ers, I like this series.

[Vasilije69]

Warriors easily outscored Pelicans 123:101 with Thompson scoring 27, Durant 26 points and Green recording triple double with 16 points, 15 rebounds and 11 assists. So, too much trash talk for nothing by Davis and other players. Imagine what will happen when Curry gets back
And that will most likely be next game.

[mega_carnation]

Imagine what will happen when Curry gets back

I know many are fans of Curry here but you guys are overrating Stephen Curry, you should take a look on how the team plays well even without him. I acknowledge him for adding great power to the team but if its about the comparison, you are only looking to him as the only star of the team. You said about KD and Thompson, these guys are underrated because of him. However, GSW has made the beginning great so I guess this is an advantage to them. Whoever got the first game, it will add confidence that they can play better and start to make it through the bracket.

Melo is way too different than Lebron. Melo cant carry a team and only cares to score, a pure offensive superstar. While Lebron is the most complete all around superstar. I dont understand why you brought the comparison betwen the two. Youre like comparing a Lion and a hog.

Boston Celtics - Philadelphia 76ers - Who will win? ▼   Philadelphia 76ers   @1.69
Houston Rockets - Utah Jazz - how many points in game? ▼   Over 206.5   @1.9
Cleveland Cavaliers - Indiana Pacers - how many points in game? ▼   Under 199.5 @1.89   
good luck

Nah, without him they wouldn't be able to fight for defending title. With him, they become first favorite to win it, once again.
P.S. I know you guys are obssesed with Westbrook and LeBron, but there is still people who don't like all that boosting stats and forcing play with no success. Basketball is art and Curry is right proof of that.

Well it's half half for me. I think the warriors are still favorites to retain the title even without steph since they have kd in the helm. They won their first title without durant but with curry i seriously think they can do it with durant instead. Experience is a very potent weapon when it comes to the playoffa and looming at those that advanced in the west, i'd say the warriors have the advantage all the way

[Reid]

Intense game from the Bucks and Celtics going back and forth with the lead.

But truly, I can see how nervous the Bucks players are. Only Middleton gave that kind of calm mind that can make points. Gianis have been tense all the time, although he still scores but those are like forced ones and not like how she really played. Bledsoe have too much of a hot head which make him lose his kind of game.


Hello Boston, you might want to be ready with the 76ers. It will be a fight of speed and full of fastbreaks.

Im not aware of the schedule of NBA today. Almost 4am here in my country and while browsing I saw a livestream match between Cleveland Cavaliers and Indiana Pacers Game 7. Didn't able to watched it live but currently Houston Rockets and Utah Jazz are tipping of now. Im surprised that Tristan Thompson is on the floor and have a contribution today . Damn this player one of the most paid player in Cavaliers but always missing in action.

105 - 101 Cleveland Cavaliers.

What an exchange of respect at the end of the game. Victor Oladipo having an emotional hug from all Cavaliers. He is the future of Indiana Pacers franchise and I know they will be deadly next season.

Yes just finished watching it too. When it is at Cleveland it sure is a time where only those who lives there are awake.   This happened last year too and I think it will happen again.

Thompson did a great job protecting the rim and his defense suddenly went up.
Love and James did most of the offense to help the Cleveland get a better lead from 1st to 3rd quarter.
Lebron is really a great player, no doubt with that by looking at his stats.

Congratulations to them and also to the Indiana who really did their best. They are not just as explosive as they are from Game 6.
There might be some bad calls from the ref but their not perfect so they will just have to live with that.

I though NBA games will be 7am onwards (GMT +8). I just wake up because my Blockfolio shown me a good price and will dump that coin lol. Didn't know that Cavaliers game came up early also the other game.


Houston Rockets literally crushing the Utah Jazz now. James Harden already with 17 and it's only 4:05 minutes left in the 2nd and CP3 with 14. Don't know if Jazz will able to get back as Donovan Mitchell only have 7 points and it's already on half of regulations.

Looks like Rockets will get the Game 1. Maybe Im wrong. Rockets won 85% in the series when having a double digit lead before the half. Let's see if that will be the story here.

Houston Rockets is closed to win now. I don't believed that Utah Jazz will able to shorten the lead. That will be a blowout. Better luck next game.

1st Round winners Pelicans and Jazz feel the wrath and power of no. 1 and 2 at the Western Conference.

And Houston takes Game 1. Statistically, Jazz did better that Houston, but I think the most significant factor is the three point attempt/made. And besides, it looks like that Utah is tired from the series with OKC.

Another great game by Indiana, but it was not enough to overcome James and the Cavs. Victor Oladipo will be big in Indiana in the next coming years and will continue to be their main man. This is really a good year for the team and making the playoffs and hanging with the Cavs is already a accomplishment.

3 point shooting success percentage would really be a big factor which will mainly affect the game if they dont make any way how to stop it then that would be a troublesome.We wont know if Utah is tired on the series with thunders but basing on the gameplay ive seen such similar performance but well there would be always a 1 winner which do fought or play well but still a satisfying game.

Victor Oladipo is really making some buzz and no doubt he would definitely become their main man basing on his performance its considerable.

Respect to Oladipo, he has played very well in that series. He just find a place where his talent fits. Is it a coincidence with the James Harden situation? Right after leaving OKC, they improved a lot and perfectly gel with the new system. Still have a lot of room for improvement, Pacers will become a solid team next season.
Round 2 would be between the Cavs and the Raptors, another exciting match in the Easter conference semis.
