2024 NBA Season

[gabmen]

You know Golden State will win it when they made that 51 first quarter points.
They are all in good condition. Klay Thomson got the hot hands adding up 4 dunks in a game. Curry making those impossible shots and Durant contribution.

It will not be easy to tie the game if they are in that condition.
Congratulations to them for making the 5 consecutive winning streak.

That 10 three's in the first quarter was lit. Just goes to show how overpowered this team is when curry, klay and kd caught fire all at the same time. What's even more scary is the fact that boogie is set to return so these guys would likely have more room to roast other teams from beyond the arc.

Warriors and Nugget game was extraordinary. If you decide to watch only one game this month, make sure it is this one. Warriors played so well they were like a well oiled machine and they destroyed nuggets like hell. I mean considering they will add another superstar center on top of this game sounds insane. They will have Demarcus cousins at this line up. I mean as it is they are incredible and adding someone at that caliber sounds like unfair already.

I know we all talk about how warriors are destroying the league and winning every year but at one point I was hoping for them to eventually lose but clearly its not going to be this year, actually it will never happen until they break up themselves, I don't know when and how it will happen but with this roster there is no one even remotely close to their talent.

As a long time Mavs fan, Im happy that they able to get a good spot on draft pick last season acquiring Smith Jr. and consider as one of the face of the franchise in the future. And the following draft pick, the arrival of Luka Doncic which strengthen Dallas firepower.

But while on progress, I have noticed that Smith Jr. and Doncic didn't have a good blend. It's not about the chemistry I guess since the numbers of games they played this seasoin is enough to test the waters but I think "something is going on".

And the result is, Dennis Smith Jr. is currently on trade plan list by the Mavs.

Anyways for those who didn't know, the NBA trade deadline is on February 7 so we can expect major and minor changes on a certain team or even a surprising blockbuster trade prior to that date.

Doncic is the main man for the Mavericks now and I did not seen the excitement in the past during the time of Dennis Smith Jr. and I'm not really interested with this player and Mavs was a shit team before Doncic's arrival. What I like about what's happening now is because Doncic is an underrated player but he prove himself that he can compete in the NBA even if he is just a rookie.

Some says, that European players are slow and I like the fact that Doncic prove them wrong.
Regarding the trade, I would agree with the Mavs to trade Dennis Smith Jr. , and welcome someone make the chemistry better.

Yes, and the announcer was like "How many dunks does Klay usually does in a game, he has 3 already" and then Klay just dunks again, crazy.

It will not be easy to tie the game if they are in that condition.
Congratulations to them for making the 5 consecutive winning streak.

Of course the complexion of the game will be different, but then again they blew off the Nuggets right from the start and never game them the chance to even get closer that 10 or 15 points if I'm not mistaken.

Warriors started to be streaking again and they will be in the stage that they are unbeatable again.
For them, game is so easy, they are just playing without pressure because they trust each other, I hope Durant and Draymond Green are okay now.
But I still want Durant to leave.

Durant is okay for me as a backup offensive player whenever the originals are injured. Problem is, it happened mostly.
Curry, Green and Iguodala having those mild injuries which seems to also reflect on their ranking.

Now they need most of the win they can get before hell happens again and Curry will be out which is like the heart of GSW. It aint GSW without him. They are a whack team.

Amazing comeback win for the Brooklyn Nets. Down by 10 or more in the last four minutes was able to get back and tie the score. And again during the OT they are down, but played defense and hitting big time shots.

Harden's though has another 50+ point game but the Nets ruining it. Spencer Dinwiddie played very well today hitting three's during their comeback run and also in OT. Future All-star, or likely candidate for 6th Man.

Harden does all the work for Rockets. On the other hand, sometimes other players need to take some attempts in order to rest him a little bit and keep the flow of the game as normal. Sometimes, after a huge streak of Harden and when he can't find a way to the basket Rockets seems to be helpless. I believe this is the role of Harden in the team however they don't have a full roster to support my thinking.

The Nets had improved a lot this season, in the past seasons, they were one of the weakest teams in the NBA like the Sixers and the Phoenix Suns.
Now, they are competing and looks like they have a chance to be in the playoffs again, with these young team after they rebuild has finally found the success like the Celtics, in the past these 2 teams are involved on the Garnett and Paul Pierce trade but the Nets as the recipient were not successful on that trade that's why they also choose to rebuild.

As a crypto enthusiast I'm happy to know that Spencer Dinwiddie is the top scorer for the Nets in this game because he publicly said he is investing in crypto.

In this kind of scenarios, CP3 will be there to catch up and lift the team but right now he's not around and like what you have observed the rest of the team are all relying with harden's next move, they need to excel and keep the game running as a team and keep rotating so harden would need to lift
the entire game from his shoulder.

[Ewinsane]

Nets won thanks to Dinwiddie playing amazingly on the fourth quarter and the OT. Dude had 8 points going into fourth quarter and than ended the game at 33 points, that equals to 25 points in the fourth quarter and over time. That is an amazing performance by him and basically carried the whole team on his shoulders to a victory.

Harden continues his 40+ poing average games, he is about to become the second longest streak of 40+ points averaged after ... well of course wilt chamberlain. I think harden has a chance to beat kobe's 23 game streak, harden is at 19 right now, 4 more games close to or over 40 points and he can beat it unless he scores very little in the next games.

No matter what happens this has been a great year for him, without CP3 and any other help he managed to carry rockets back to where they belong, without Harden rockets are nothing. To think that he was at OKC and got here years ago, he turned into a superstar maybe a bit slowly but he worked hard and continued on his path to success without a break.

Looks like defenders are confused on how to deal with James Harden. If they gonna get close contact on Harden they will be called on foul (even some of them are not really a foul). If not an aggressive defense, Harden will just go for a push or do a step back rainbow shot or 3s.

Harden is doing the right thing base on his current doing. Might be annoying to anyone but his style is effective.

On the other hand, producing 30+ or 40+ points in a streak is really a difficult task. That's how good the last season MVP is.

[Harkorede]

Who else watched Washington Wizards come back from 12 points deficit after the 3rd quarter to defeat the New York Knicks by 101 - 100. Although the wizards were the clear cut favorite ( I also had a bet on them to win with -4.5 points) to win the match but slump to 10 points behind after the 1st quarter, the 2nd quarter end draw and the lost the 3rd quarter again by a two points margin, but were able to stage a complete come back in the last quarter to win the match by a single point.

I'm that's how defenders think, Harden just master his style so much and we've seen improvement year after year.
Harden is a good shooter and knows how to fish foul by driving the ball inside most of the time, he will make more shots if he continue to bring the ball most of the time, and so far they are still doing good with their 6-4 last 10 games record.

Harden is doing the right thing base on his current doing. Might be annoying to anyone but his style is effective.

That's what he does, some will hate, some will appreciate, just like Mayweather in boxing, his style is annoying but that's where he is effective at.

On the other hand, producing 30+ or 40+ points in a streak is really a difficult task. That's how good the last season MVP is.

And he'll probably continue to produce this score now, I'm guessing 30+ average is easy for him going forward to this season.

That's how good team respond to the situation, NEW YORK KNICKS desperate needs a win but they did not able to upset the Wizards on their home court.
4th quarter was the only quarter the wizards work hard to win the game, in the 1st 3 quarters, they struggle to take the game close but they got lucky in the 4th, home court really brings advantage as the crowd helps boost their confidence to still get back in the game and win.

This shows that he really have the potentials, remembering him with KD and WB this three young bloods compete against the favorite big three of Miami, though they are just young and the maturity of playing inside the finals are well dedicated by James and Wade but they fought well, and the rest is history, good thing about the trade all of them have its own MVP awards.

Kuzma, Zubac and Lonzo Ball stepping up to get a big win in overtime against the Thunders.

Westbrook was off and so is PG13. Lot of frustration from the Thunders team too.
How about the turnovers? Lakers got a higher number of turnovers but Thunders just cant get that bucket after a turnover.

This proves again that even without Lebron, the young guns can make it.
Lets wait what will happen with their gameplay when James is back.

They are winning now, I thought it would be an easy win for the Thunder this time, but these young players proven me wrong.
Lakers are trailing in the first quarter but they were able to make a huge rally to make the game close, game went to OT by the way courtesy of Westbrook for 3 made free throws with 2 seconds left in the game. However, the Lakers still stay aggressive in the OT and beat the OKC, it was actually Zubac who is the game changer of this game, when he got in, it result to a rally and he is only active inside.

Look at his shooting percentage, it's very impressive, and this night is probably he season's best.
