2024 NBA Season

[Shinpako09]

Finally there are some troubles coming from warriors locker room. They have one of the most joyful and jolly friendship type of team in the NBA as far as I can remember. Back when Jordan won he was known to be a not so great teammate, even punched Steve Kerr once, when Kobe and Shaq won they started to hate each other, when Lebron won in Miami he was there as rental and left them.

Basically aside from Spurs almost all teams had something going on eventually. Warriors looked like they were all "friends" playing together. With this Kevin Durant versus Raymond green chatter going on and the warriors picking the Durant side on this fight, I think Draymond will leave soon when his contract is over. I am not making a big deal out of this but it clearly shows they won't give him the 44 million max he can get, it would be idiotic to offer him 44 million anyway and today showed they won't.

Oh we finally saw a crack as GSW and its not healthy. Green was suspended without pay and it looks like this will be put a strain on the relationship with the whole management as well. It could be coming from Durant because there have been speculation that KD will leave in a free agency this summer, which Green take it personally because we all know that he has something to do with KD leaving OKC and going to GSW. But since KD already got 2 rings with them, the team is thinking that we will be leaving. The problem now is that there's a possibility that the two might leave as well because of the issue. So its going to be interesting, specially once Curry is back.

Seems the percentage KD leaving GSW became higher because of that. Although GSW reach Finals twice in a row without him. Still a big loss, they are more solid with him in their side but GSW is still competitive. On the other hand KD has a lesser chance in getting a ring without in GSW but it seems ring isn't the one in his mind as he mention.

The Sixers lost to the Magic a while ago 111-106. My opinion is that even Butler is there, he doesn't know how the team really plays. Like the first games of Lebron in Lakers, they started in a consecutive losses because of lack of chemistry. Give some time for the Sixers.

The rough ride begin for the Sixers  . We can reasoned out that maybe it is the lack of chemistry and Butler needs to adjust to the Sixer's style of play. I had a different reason for the lose but it is unfair to Butler since it is only one game, give it some time and we will see.

It will be more interesting if Durant will leave the GSW, because we will see a balance team in the NBA.
The warriors made it without Durant but they do not have an easy journey that time, however the taste of victory is better than with Durant playing.

I do think it is the other way around.
It is way better to taste the win without people telling you are grabbing too many stars.

They are a better team to me before. It is just that injuries are eating them and that is why they pulled a star into their line up. Somehow it is only for a back up plan. The team consisting of the old players of GSW can make it happen again and if it does without Durant people will be looking up to them again. Without Green though, it will be a problem.

Jimmy butler with the 14 points. He had only 12 shots which is not little but definitely not a lot, no threes made, just 2 free throws. He was obviously testing the water, he was just checking out the team and how they are playing and what his role will be etc.

Embiid played well again almost cracking the triple double this game, Reddick was on fire and had 22 points which is more than what is asked from him. The only trouble was Simmons but I am not sure if it was a fluke game or was it the Butler trade and less ball handling. If this Butler trade will put a limit to Simmons' ball handling and playmaking that it is not a great idea for them, I hope they will get him the ball more often, he is a ball dominant player.

Lakers won again btw, they are 4-0 on their last 4 games and I know it sounds crazy but I think Chandler has a lot to do with it. Bigs just destroyed Lakers but now they have at least have a big body down there.

This is what I didn't expect. The Dallas Mavericks won against the Utah Jazz with a score of 118-68. A blowout win for the Mavs. So far this is the largest lead win this season. Anybody knows what happened to the Jazz?? I didnt watch the whole game .

Dallas Mavericks surprised me on that game. Amazing.

Didn't able to watched the whole game but saw the live scoring during the 3rd. And what's more surprising? Utah Jazz only scored 9 points in the last quarter. This is embarassing because even playing with the bench players, it should be more than that. I don't know what happened but good thing Dallas won. Yes Im biased lol.

The rough ride begin for the Sixers  . We can reasoned out that maybe it is the lack of chemistry and Butler needs to adjust to the Sixer's style of play. I had a different reason for the lose but it is unfair to Butler since it is only one game, give it some time and we will see.

Hey Im curious on that reason of yours maybe you can share with us. I have a different thought too maybe we have the same. Come on let's discussed it.


Draymond Green plans to appeal Warriors' $120,000 fine

The drama is now turning into a serious matters... What will happened next.

Yes, he may go to a team that will offer him max contract for all we know. Lol. He already reached the top of his career and maybe theirs no loyalty after all from KD, but its too early to call at this point. This drama will either drag them down hard or they can just settle their dispute without having to go to media and just be quiet.

Sad to see that there is a post here how Butler played for the 76ers even though they lost the game rather than seeing post about the New Timberwolves winning against the Pelicans. Just as expected RoCo and Dario Saric already contributed immediately with the team even though they just arrived at Minnesota without a proper practice yet. I see that the defense improved immediately and KAT and Wiggins is showing their true potential without the Super Diva ehrrm I mean the superstar of the team.

To add D rose was just in the sideline due to the soreness of his knee, imagine if they have a healthy rotation this team will be deadly in the west. Really hoping to see an improvement with their 3pt shooting with the addition of RoCo, possibly creating more open looks, and D Rose getting his shot back I just want them not to be left behind when it comes to 3s.

[harizen]

As I've noticed and everyone else, even without Butler on the floor, these 2 guys are inconsistent. Yes they are both strong, no doubt about that but sometimes they played soft. But ok, let's see if the departure of that Super Diva you are talking will really make those guys more dominant "regularly" on the floor or else I will stay on my view that they are overrated.


Ok so LeBron James is now the 5th All-Time Points Leaders after passing Wilt Chamberlain. I think he can nailed closed to 1st spot if he will played his usual while aging more. No signs of him slowing down at age 33 (turning 34 next month).

Dirk Nowitzki still not playing. He just need over 200+ points to passed Chamberlain. A good record indeed before retiring next season (probably).

The Lakers has not a lost a game since the arrival of Chandler and it seems that he is a lucky charm for L.A  . Chandler though not so young but still very capable of manning the center and provide an intimidating presence and it has something to do with that win for the Lakers. We can't deny the fact that before the arrival of Chandler, the Lakers lack the bigs for defense purposes in close games.

That is the spot that they lack in, defense. That is the reason they are needing the man like Chandler. He is the one needed in the team and we can see  the result of him being in that team. I am not saying that Lebron James and his teammates suck at defense, they don't suck in defensebut they are lacking more defense the reason he is a great help to them.

At some point, those anti-Lakers (lol) became silent because Chandler did really contribute to the defense on this past games. A good backup to McGee or even alongside with him. When Chandler is being traded to the Lakers, you can see comments like "being old" "will not help" etc. even without giving this veteran a chance to play first before judging him.

Still can't move on his clutch block against Trae Young. I've put money on Atlanta Hawks moneyline @6 on that game and it's almost a win. Yes as usual, I really like playing with high odds so even the percentage of winning is much more to Lakers, I played on it.

That player has a curse (kidding). Anyway, its a good move for the rockets management to trade Anthony to another team. Now the question is who will get him. Based on his performance this season, its obvious thay he didnt help the Rockets but he is a burden to them.

When they get rid of Carmelo they are now in a winning streak, in fact they beat the warriors today.
Melo needs to be in a worst team like the Suns so there is nothing to blame anymore.

Yeah I was reading the same article just now. Well if there's a someone out there that is willing to take him then he can land to another team, or it could be an end to his NBA career. He has so much potential however, he didn't want to adjust his playing style and we all know that NBA today is not the same when he first drafted back in 2003 if I'm not mistaken. As NBA fans, its really sad to see players goes out like this so let's hope (Sixers?) we can still see him play for the rest of the season.

He can still play and score but he needs to be the main man in order for him to be effective, now, it's hard for him because NBA
has evolved to a team kind of play, just like the Warriors and any other good team who makes their players very important in every possession.

He still has the name and I don't think his career will just end here.

Yeah! I've watched that game and they outscored Golden State Warriors. LOL that curse joke! haha. This will affect his rating and probably his upcoming salary based contract. I'm sure that he'll find a new home but it will be hard for him to be on the tier 1 teams.

No hate for him, I just wish him all the best. And if he finds a new home, he needs to show his true potential. I don't know the real story inside the court and bench for him. But I'm pretty sure that he will be adopted by a new team that look towards him.

Speaking of blaming, ever read or heard about the statement Erik Spoelstra made to Lebron James? He is praising Lebron's previous coach Dwane Casey and told Dwane did nothing wrong but because of Lebron, a lot of people were fired including Dwane. Do you agree with this? I mean I think Dwane is a great coach but do we really need to blame Lebron? Is this really Lebron's fault?

I am still in confusion if Sixers really did made a good choice of getting Butler instead of letting Saric stay. That is one of the pain in the ass for other teams since he can shoot threes and can also penetrate.

Imagine having three pointers waiting on both sides. That means Ben can move freely on the middle and also Embiid can have more space for post up plays.

With Butler though. We may really have to wait to see if they will be adjusting game plays for him or will he just go with their flow.

Maybe one thing more that affected the Warriors is the drama between KD and Green. I saw a while ago that Green said to KD that the Warriors doesn't need him blah blah (can't remember some).

No true potential for him anymore because his career is now over. No hate but its just the truth and I believe many will agree with me . If he will be going to another team, maybe he can go to a underrated teams right now so that he can show his "TRUE" potential.
