2024 NBA Season

[justspare]

Carmelo Anthony is a top HOF candidate no matter what. I do not understand these people saying he is bad and all that. Yes he got old, he had to carry two teams all his life and as soon as he left for a team that doesn't require him to be the scoring option he started to show the affects of old age. Dude is a top 20 in scoring, how many top 20 in scoring people won't be in Hall of Fame. If you are good enough to be scoring as much as he did than there is no way he won't get in.

Yes, he has been playing bad lately in the past 2 seasons but Wade has been playing bad for far longer and nobody cared about his decline. Dude literally played horrible during his chicago and cavs terms and now we are talking about what a great player he was. Just because Melo never got a ring doesn't negate the all great things he accomplished as a player.

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?

https://clutchpoints.com/heat-news-erik-spoelstra-lebron-james-got-a-lot-of-people-fired/

Looks like some typos are made, Dwane Casey never coached LeBron James.

Honestly, coach is not the problem why the Raptors always struggles at the hand of LeBron James but since Raptors management want a changed, then they fired out Casey eventhough on his last year as the Raptors coach, he became the Coach of the Year and All-Star game head coach which is a difficult title to achieved. LeBron is just too much to handle on the East.

Anyways, there is a time when Casey defeated LeBron James. He is the assistant coach of the Dallas Mavericks when they won a championship (2011). LeBron acknowledged Casey's contribution on the Mavericks defense as he really stuggles on that series that's why later on James worked hard to improved himself. He admitted that.

The problem with Melo is that his one dimensional player. Never did try to make adjustments in his career that's why he did get old overnight He chooses team badly as well, while Lebron and Wade and Bosh chooses to team up because they know its better to have a ring at the end of the end.

Yes, he has been playing bad lately in the past 2 seasons but Wade has been playing bad for far longer and nobody cared about his decline. Dude literally played horrible during his chicago and cavs terms and now we are talking about what a great player he was. Just because Melo never got a ring doesn't negate the all great things he accomplished as a player.

So I'm not sure about his HOF chance though, and it really looks like he has nothing to offer so it might be the end of Melo train.

Apparently, this is what Draymond said to KD.

Knowing how sensitive KD can be at times, with all his burner accounts and the need to respond to every troll on twitter, it is safe to say that things will never be the same between him and Dray. More importantly, it will have a negative effect on the entire team. Love me some Warriors drama. lol

Who watched the 76ers game versus the Utah Jazz?
Adam Silver was there with the commentators and it was a long talk during the first quarter of the game.

He explained about the transparency of the officials and also tried to justify about the the issues of the softness of the game.

He says it was not really soft they are just calibrating the game now.
Before they hug every offensive player and it was a lazy move to defend one player. Now it is better.

Will watch it again for I did not get some of what he talked about but that is one important explanation since they may be losing viewers because of those kind of news.

What a game from the Celtics against the Raptors, this will the eastern conference finals for sure. Will like to see a 7 game series between this two teams. We saw Uncle Drew going back at it with 43 points and Leonard with 31 Points and 15 rebounds, they will most likely battle it out to see who gets owned by the warriors in the finals unfortunately.

I will not think of that now, the Sixers are a hungry team and they can beat these two teams with Butler.
Actually had his first win with the Sixers and he is leading the scoring with a good shooting percentage, if he is comfortable with his team, they are a
very tough team to beat.

This shows that the Eastern Conference will not be behind. They can cope up with the Western Conference. I don't think these 2 will battle on the ECF and its early to say that one of them will face Warriors in the finals whereas the Warriors are slowly crumbling now because of their drama shit.

I didn't watch the game but I know it is a good game but the Celtics come out on top. Good for Irving because he stepped up and get 43 points. The Raptors lost 2 consecutive games already.

That Dray is fkin trolling and i agree on what i have read on other peoples comments which GSW isnt owned by Dray so i dont really see that he has the right to speak off those words.
I'd rather prefer for KD to remain than with Dray. Seems like Dray would be traded. lol

I do love also the drama and ill wait for KD's reaction on this one.

Yes, it was a nice game, I thought that Toronto will take it again but this time, Kyrie exploded with a huge 43 point game. So the East is also going to be interesting to watch as well.

Its too early to say if one of them will fall victim to the GSW team. We all know that they have their internal drama to fix to stay on top of the West.

And when you think about it, Draymond was the one to call KD on the phone after Warriors '16 finals loss, he was the one to actively recruit KD...

However, I'm not so sure Green actually meant those words. We all know he is an emotional player who gets fired up easily but still calling someone "bitch", "we don't need you" and "leave" is hard to take and move on (by the way this is just a small sample size of what happened in the locker room after the game, I also heard that Green said something like "you are a snake for leaving Russ" or something in those lines. Boy, I need a full transcript of what was said that night.

How could Draymond say that to the person who carry their team to win their third championship. This bighead deserve to be expelled from the team. Durant is just a humble person and knowing how he has hurt from that statement would definitely make him change team next season after his contract.

[cluit]

I don't think this dray thing will continue for a long time, as soon as warriors sign Durant this off season to a max dray must realize he will be gone. They neither can pay such a huge price for dray anymore nor they can continue to pay that much luxury tax so they will have to let him go. I think dray is trying to send Durant away from the team so he can get the max next year.

If durant stays and signs for max than dray is gone, he knows this. All comes down to how the team and durant will react to this. If they are smart they will not care about a rental player who will be eventually gone, if they are idiots Durant will sign somewhere else and the team will never be as good again.

Of course, curry and klay can still beast and be amazing together but without durant they will never be the same, not because of talent but also they had won 3 rings already and on their way to the fourth so there will be some sort of stamina affect and while other teams really want to be the one that beats warriors whereas warriors are tired of winning.

[Indamuck]

This is just a random thing but I recently saw an interview with Vince Carter and Dirk Nowitzki.  They are the two oldest players right now in the NBA and the only players left from the 90s.  Vince is three years older than kobe!  I can see Lebron easily playing till he is 40 years old.  He will still probably average 20 ppg just like Michael Jordan did at that age.

Lol. the "you are a snake.." word is not right. Green went overboard this time that's why KD has reacted and the locker room drama will continue up to the end of this season and I don't see those players patching things up until one of them leaves GSW. Not even Steph and Klay can step up and bring those two together for one more run this season.

Freakin great game in Orlando against the Lakers.
D.J. Agustin is like the flash. Slicing and even doing a fantastic ankle breaker.
He puts a dagger to the chest of the Lakers. Lebron cannot answer bavk and so is Kuzma who have a rough night.

Gordon with super dunks too. Made my day. I love plays like that. Speed and performance.

What can you expect, the Lakers are overrated with lack of defense, they are also not a good road team.
Orlando needs a win and they do it against the king, so far based on my analysis, I think this Lakers team is the weakest team Lebron has played with.
Or, we can say that Lebron is not so hungry right now, he has rings and went to Finals lots of time, so protecting his health is just his mission.

Orlando did play a perfect games against the Lakers. They also have some good blocks on James and Javale, and Ball went scoreless if I'm not mistaken. So their winning streak is snapped. And yes, D.J. Agustin exposed LA's poor defense while Vucevic cannot be stop by Javale and Tyson Chandler. So next is Miami for Lakers, I'm expecting Lonzo to play better this time.

The Magic are one of the underrated teams right now but they can play with other good teams right now. They beat the Lakers on that game and now the Cavs-turn-Lakers fans now are crying again.

Yeah the Lakers are not good in the road and I agree that so far, this is the weakest team Lebron has played with. I think Lebron right now is doing achievements right now and not the rings. He got many rings already on Heat and in Cavs. He wants his name to be put on Greatest Player of All-time..

Wel they'll bounce back that's for sure. Unless they want to have bron episodes inside the locker again, the lakers should avoid having losing streaks. And how about anthony davis having back to back 40pt games? Someone to watch for the mvp race as early as now.
