2024 NBA Season

[harizen]

Well it sucks when you have reached a point where you have to sit your player for the most important part of the game because you consider him as an investment.
That's not what sports should be about.

If by force, New Orleans Pelicans can still fight for the playoffs spot but what they are doing now?

They already giving it up just to protect their investment. Totally a crap.

Unprofessional. Yes, that is the right word to it.
Look at them being transparent into their greed.
That aint funny at all.
They made NBA look like its all about the money now. Which ai do think is.
They are losing a lot of fans because of this kind of move. It aint just the management of New Orleans that is affected but the whole NBA.
It is disgusting.

Looks like their decision not to trade Anthony Davis prior to trade deadline gone wrong.

If that trade happened, I see that they should be more focus now on their goals instead of what's happening to them today. Just hope their decision will really give them a good result next season.

Right now, I have a sneaky suspicion that Lebron is not even trying to go to playoffs anymore, I think Lebron is not even caring about winning or losing anymore..

Oh that was an insane speculation.

[rdbase]

Lets not get ahead of ourselves for discrediting Lakers just yet. Yeah, Bucks vs Lakers seems obvious to many people but honestly do you think bucks can take Lakers on 7 game if it was playoffs ? With Lebron playing like playoff Lebron ?

Right now, I have a sneaky suspicion that Lebron is not even trying to go to playoffs anymore, I think Lebron is not even caring about winning or losing anymore, dude probably started his "business" career early by moving to Los Angeles and all he wants is to make the max amount of money he can from now on, if that means wins yeah sure win the game but he knows he can't win the ring so he realized maybe commercials and movies and business deals are more important at this stage of his life because his career can't continue forever, maybe he can play another 5-6 years, maybe he will be injured and become like Kobe, so no reason not to focus on other stuff from now on.

This is very true. Once playoffs are on lebron plays at another level and can rise to the occasion when needing too.
I bet against his team against giannis during the all star game and they looked like they were going to take the game until lebron rallied his team as if it was a playoffs game and won the game being down the entire game and blow them out.
Lebron knows how to get the team going when it really matters.

~snip~

Well, they will be tested again tonight.


They are hosting the bucks and this is a strong team, if they can win tonight then I would say they have a chance to beat good teams
going forward. They are in the position now that every game is important, all they need is to get into playoffs and hope that the upper teams will continue to loss so they can have the a spot int he top 8.

Great game Lakers-Bucks. Ingran is playing well. Let's see if LeBron is really on playoff mode. Because they really need this win.

Great game Lakers-Bucks. Ingran is playing well. Let's see if LeBron is really on playoff mode. Because they really need this win.

They are leading now, I guess they have a better chance now.
Bucks usually dominate their opponent early in the game but this time they are the one's who are dominated.
I'll bet that they will win this game, Lakers is the underdog in this match so it's good to bet on them even at live betting now.

On the other hand, the Lakers again struggle and they were not able to win their home game, the bucks are on a winning streak at the expense of Lakers.

It should be a must win for them but they choke in the 4th, what will happen to their playoff chose now?

Gasol is not doing well with the Spurs, so now he is ship to the Bucks and I believe he is a great addition.
With playoff experience and has already become an NBA champion, he could be a big help for this team, gasol is not already in his prime but he can contribute well to boost the morale of the team facing the challenges within the playoffs.

Bucks seems going for a championship this season, what your thoughts on this?

I think this is a ripe time for the Bucks to be in the championship contention. They are really doing good and Giannis is continuing his path to be the likely MVP this season, but it's still early and debatable. The team's chemistry is a beauty as well and they understand each other. And now they have added Gasol (I don't know the reason), but I guess they needed someone as a backup or have the experience when playoff comes in. So yes, they're gunning for something huge this season, all in, to say the least.

The new king in the East after the Cavaliers.
How underrated Giannis this season, the focus was on Harden, James and Irving but Giannis continue to work hard and now we see how he become.

Maybe they are also preparing for the Raptors because the look for the Raptors now are better with Mark Gasol, it would be fun to watch if these two Gasol will meet in the Eastern Finals.

Indeed, with James Harden, triple double and with his un-guardable step back three, Giannis was somewhat lost in the discussions for the best player this season.

But it looks like he doesn't care are all, all he wanted was to bring the Milwaukee Bucks to the finals this year. The numbers are still comparable with the top scorers like Steph Curry so definitely, they are aiming big this year. He may not be the MVP but if he was able to bring them to the Conference finals then I'm sure that it's more than an individual award.

Pau is a great player, but he is too old. I don't think how much he will contribute to the team at this age.

Team goals are more important than having an individual awards. That's what I think the bucks are doing right now and not even Giannis can break that rule for their team.

It should be a must win for them but they choke in the 4th, what will happen to their playoff chose now?

Damn, I thought that the Lakers could pull this one off specially when they lead in the 3rd quarter and when Bucks came back and took the lead in the 4th, they fought back, regain some in the 4th however, they collapsed. Hard lost for the Lakers and Lebron's hope for a playoffs.

They do choke at 4th quarter and didnt able to retain their momentum until the very end.I do highly anticipated that LA will win the game but unexpectedly Bucks never give up and
strive to close the gap and ended the game with 11 point lead. LA fans now are dismayed on what happened since the chance for play-offs is becoming more slimmer and slimmer as they loss
into their games.

Right, considering that the game is held on Lakers homecourt, I thought that they will perform above and can upset the Bucks, unfortunately, we don't know what happened as they wasn't able to retain their momentum after they take the lead in the fourth quarter and allow the Bucks gets closer and take the lead in the closing minutes.

It's going to be a uphill climb for them and yes, the chances of making the playoffs is getting slimmer with their every lost.

[GregH37]

Bucks have only as further as finals they can be realistically looking, don't get me wrong finals is no joke and its a good experience for the whole team but honestly there is absolutely no way a team like bucks could take warriors in 7 games, I bet it would be more realistic if warriors swept them.

Giannis is one of the best players in the league right now and he is still super young so bucks is looking for a great future right now and with Pops long time student Bud at the coaching they have improved a lot this year. However who could guard curry there? Bledsoe? Klay? Middleton? Maybe Giannis can keep Durant from scoring a lot but even that is doubtful.

I think raptors, Sixers and Celtics all have a shot but Celtics looking like they are not doing so well and Sixers are looking like they are showing how young the team is not only in age but also time spent together however no matter how tough the east will be this year in the end warriors will win whoever comes to the finals.

Bucks is really an improved team this season, Lakers have their chance but unfortunately again they've choke in the last period while bucks did well
scoring more and keep the lead away from lakers, with Gasol's additions the team will have good interior even his already old considering the talent
and the maturity that he still have, we will see how he can adjust and contribute.

Noticed how the eastern conference became strong when LeBron is the west right now. No wonder Giannis deserves to be the captain of the west, he just proved his doubters before and during the draft day. He is absolutely a greek freak, plus the addition of some talents and Gasol. This team will have a good chance in the finals.
