2024 NBA Season

[morvillz7z]

Maybe they need to do what the Cavaliers has done, changing the coach or changing the players

If for whatever reason, Washington fails to get the win over an equally bad Knicks team tonight, I could see Brooks getting fired the next day.

Personally, I don't expect this to happen, at least not today, probably Wizards will go away with a double-digit win. (Have in mind though, Wiz are not to be trusted)

I think Dwight is one of the victims on how the whole NBA game has change for the last 5 years. The game has evolved so much that true NBA Centers are not the focus of the game anymore. Its more of a run and gun type of game, with 3's is the most weapons that NBA teams are going now.

I don't think so, Howard is a victim of him being a low percentage free throw shooter. He is one of the most athletic center in the NBA and he could run the floor well so i don't think that he has a problem on the run and gun type of game.

Plus he might has some attitude problem as well.

I tend to believe that this could might be the reason. As a player you should have a good relationship with your team mate and the whole organization.

Yes, Howard seems to have this 'diva' attitude the moment he transfer to a team. He and Kobe should have established one of the best team back then, but it seems he cannot accept the fact that he is just the first option in Lakers offense. So after his Lakers stint, his career went on a downward spin and up to now he can't find a perfect team.

Sooooo good to see the Lebron and the Lakers now! They were eaten alive by the Raptors The so-called best player in the world got only 18 pts with 3 TO!? Hello??? Best player??? Giannis is the man!

[JesVarez]

Raptors are 9-1 for the season, this game without Leonard and they showed up tonight, great start for them going up in the first quarter 42-17. LA still has to find that chemistry that they need, Kuzma had a nice game again, I think next year we will see an all-star teaming up with Lebron in LA after the Warriors win again this year.

Yeah Kuzma. Really love that kid. I see a great  player within him. Been a fan of him since his rookie year.

Raptors though. Ergh! Too stroong even with Kawaii nor playing the game.
Lowry and the bench had some good hot hands and the lead wont even go below 20 until the last minutes of the 3rd.
They  keep on doing this until playoffs and they might be the one getting that crown in the East. Doesnt need to rely much on Kawaii.

Kuzma will be an all star player in the future. I see this because he is getting better and better every game. I think what lacks on the Lakers now is the chemistry and the experience since most of them are young players.

The Raptors roster didn't change that much. They just traded DeRozan and 2 bench for Leonard and Green. The Raptors are known for having a good roster and a good bench that is why they defeated Lakers even without Leonard.

Well if you can remember though, the raptors have always been this good through the regular season even back when demar is at the helm. And i think they'll continue this kind of play until the playoffs, where we'll really see what kawhi brings that's different from derozan.

Another loss for Lakers, they are not doing well at all during defensive part of the game at all. They are trying to play a fast paced really quick offensive game but without a good defense that fast pace just ends up with an ISO at the hands of Lebron James. They really need to build a defensive scheme to prevent this much points allowed so their offense would mean something.

On the other hand, Bucks are going strong after their first loss and Giannis looks like a beast, I can't believe this monster found a way to improve himself every single year he played but he still looks improved yet once again. Their team is destined for a great playoff run this year and Bud is coaching them amazingly. Any team that sees bucks and sees their team should definitely try to think what could happen if they changed their coach. Billy Donovan specially could be replaced with a bucket of ice and OKC would still improve.

Lakers win = They have chemisty

Lakers lose = They doesn't have chemistry

That's how people generalizing it in every win and every loss even on social media discussions. A big LOL isn't it?

A lost is a lost and no reason for that on that recent game. Raptors played well and that's it. People don't just have to look at Lakers performance but also on how their opponent showed. Even Serge Ibaka's big points as career high never noticed lol. That's how big deal Lakers today compare to their opponents as they are on talk of the town even they are lose which is not really making sense to me.

Because this team has Lebron and some NBA fans only know Lebron and some star players, they do not really bother on checking the team stats, they love
hype in short that is why they can easily get fooled when they gamble. Lebron is in the stage of adjustment, although he lead this team but it's too early to build that chemistry, and he is not as clutch as we think.

[ivan376]

Lebron is just not good enough to make a team win. Not a good leader, and etc. And mind you, he will not to be blame but the coach.

It is really the playoffs where they got shaken.
I think that is when Kawaii will really shine again.
He had been in many Finals and also an MVP. He will not just be shaken up by those kind of moment, experience wise.

Their 3rd stringer though must be enhanced. They are the ones who gave up the big lead and forcing Lowry to go back to the game at 4th quarter.

Rockets was playing so bad that they literally made their retired coach come back from retirement to fix their defensive issues. Honestly I can not believe one team can be good enough to beat one of the all time best teams and next year suck so badly. I keep on saying there must be something but I really don't know if it is just coaching difference anymore.

Mavericks have been losing a lot but with Luka and DSJ and Barnes with Wesley, they really do look like they might have a future in the league. Celtics plays like Celtics as always, Brad Stevens really knows how to take advantage of each players skills and bring out the most in them, the only coach like that was Greg Popovich and we know how amazing he is, I hope Brad Stevens coaches Celtics for the next 20+ years like Pop did to spurs.

That was because of Carmelo Anthony's curse..... lol kidding.

Anyways Rockets is now on 3rd winning streak after their 4th losing streak which is unusual. We are still on the early phase of the season and who knows that they will soon kicked up in the standings.

Sad to see that. They need some additional backup from the bench, not for getting new players but some adjustments. They are lacked of it.

This coming 2019 i think Golden state warrior take the trophy's again. Because we all know that golden state warrior are best team in the past years.

What I saw tonight was the improved Portland TrailBlazers , they beat the Bucks with a good margin, CJ McCollum explode with 40 points on that win.
They will surely get into the playoffs easily but the only problem they have since the past is that they are having a difficulty entering in the West Finals, this team is just first round team.

Its because the melted under the pressure specially play-offs. They are a good team in papers, but as soon as they enter play-off rounds, its seems that they choke as a team and can't really past the first or second round.

It's because they don't have a legitimate superstars who could carry the team consistently. Also, because the lack of maturity in decision making on and off the court. Give them a veteran superstar and a seasoned coach then you will see a different trailblazers playing on the court.
