2024 NBA Season

[guoyu78]

Spurs have been on fire, won 8 in a row now. I mean Derozan is still not the Raptors Derozan we all know but Spurs decided to focus more on Derrick White instead of focusing on Derozan and trying to fix him somehow. They really really do need a decent forward for their team but honestly with just a all-star level forward which they could get if they just trade Derozan to another team they could become a championship contender.

Think about it, they have Derrick White, Dejounte Murray, Patty Mills, Lonnie Walker, Bryn Forbes and so forth all great guards in their positions plus Aldridge and Poeltl on Bigs so all they need is a decent forward lineup and they will be really dangerous to whoever they face. If Kawhi didn't left just for one more season and they had no injured players I bet they could have challenged Warriors even this year with that lineup.

I think he becomes underrated during the arrival of KD in the bay.

Even before KD, Klay is still underrated.
For me, it's because he is not athletic as Durant or like Curry where it's fun to watch with his handles.

Media don't focus too much on the stats and how accurate a player is, they focus on a player where they believe has a lot of fans
as that will make people more interested. I can still remember how many times Klay save them during the last playoffs.

Respect for Klay, can't forget that time when he's able to brought up the team. I don't mind medias and other fans that's belittling him, Klay for me is still one of the assets that Golden State Warrior has.

It's just that they have superstars on the team and the attention that should be on him, are being thrown to KD and Curry. At the end of the day, it's still about their team as one. Klay plays well and I'm sure that he doesn't mind if the attention that the other two has isn't the same as him.

Klay do accept his current condition when it comes on gaining popularity which is lesser compared on that 2.Good thing that he got used to it but im sure that
inside his mind he do really know his worth on the entire team.Try to look on how warriors would perform on all of their game if Klay isnt there.

Probably that's his mindset now that he just have to get used to it since the team has been powered up and they always make it to the finals. But as an athlete jealousy about the fame is also there but I don't fully know Klay personally I won't go further with his condition.

He may not get the same attention with KD and Steph but yeah his worth to the team is big as those two.

San antonio are just trashing the warriors right now and are 50 - 38 nearly into ending the first half.
Looks like they are not quite in playoff mode just yet.
Will see if they can recover in the second half and in the fourth quarter like they always seem to do to pull their games out of the fire.

Warriors always recovers, the chemistry might change a bit because Durant cam back and Bogut already played.
The spurs should not be underestimated as they are winning lately, it's their chance to prove that they can match with the depending champ.

Well they are not in chemistry when even one of their top star players are not performing to askew the comradery they have in playing as a team.
Klay thompson was 0 of 8 shots with 0 points in the first half for instance.

That's alright, it's just one game, Spurs needed that win for them to secure their playoff status.
GSW does not need to win all the time, they just need to be in playoffs, and with their loss now, they might fall in the number 2 spot since the Denver Nuggets beat the Celtics but we know how dangerous they are in playoffs time, they will play hard and it's hard to beat them.

They Win the game, Spurs showed team effort while GSW even Durant already playing is not in a good blend, still long road for this league and
anyone can possibly beat the defending champ, team owners and coaches are adjusting to be more competitive.

GSW will need to adjust as well to continue the dominance, they need to blend more once again.

Denver clinches a spot in the playoffs with this win against boston and no murray three pointer right at the end to throw it in the faces of celtics fans this time around.
Indiana pacer could of secured their playoff hopes tonight but they were playing against a steel door called the portland trailblazers at home.
Phila 76ers clinched in there eastern conference yesterday.

Right, surprisingly, Spurs beat Golden State Warriors 111-105. DeRozan and Aldridge play big and extend their winning streak.

GSW was able to cut the lead but San Antonio was very quick and didn't allow the Warriors any sort of a comeback. It seems though the Durant going back put some minor strain on the chemistry, but we are sure that them will comeback strong again. Bogut also played with 7 points, as Cousins has hurt his right ankle in the win against OKC.

They will certainly adjust and they can do that and proven it many times.
Durant came in and the usual ball movement changes, usually those who have more touches on the ball get's a better points and if they move the ball a lot, it's hard to be in rhythm for a shooter. This game Durant had a good number of points but they loss the game, they shot lower in 3 points with 13-39 3GM-A.

I think it really affected Klay's game, imho, he just scored 14. Anyways, I agree that this is just a small bump. They will adjust and get's better and will find their rhythm since Durant is back in the roster and rotation. They are now tied with Denver, while San Antonio is in the 5th spot and just trail Rockets (#3) with two games.

One of the problem of having so much offensive players in a team.
When a star comes back the chemistry breaks and all of a sudden role players are being drag by an off night of the star.
Next is the rotation changes. It should been the same and the star that came back should just be given a little of minutes just so the rotation could refresh once again.
Hate to say it but Kerr seems to have a hard time handling that kind of situation.

I think the biggest reason why Warriors are not playing like warriors anymore is that every team is going out there to win and show off they can beat warriors. If a team like warriors plays their hardest for 82 games a year and than playoffs two things will happen, first is injuries, you can't play at 100% for 82 games and playoffs for 5 years straight without hurting your body, second is fatigue, which they will eventually have.

So, they are just bored during the regular season and play it like it doesn't really matter to them that much, we are seeing Warriors at probably 50% right now and they are still better than everyone else, so they don't need to play pedal to the metal type of game anymore. However know that when it comes to playoffs they will fix themselves up and will play the best basketball they can and destroy anyone on their path for sure.

Yes I do believe you are right. Right now with roughly 12 games left of the regular season left every team even not in the playoff hunt are going after the warriors to show they are vunerable and do have a weakness afterall.
It is just like the raptors they have a target on their backs and everybody is out to get them.

Way to win last night Chicago Bulls! 

Is there a worse ran organization in basketball? I would say the Knicks but they look to be amping up to make some big free agent moves next year.

I agree with you, the rotation change once again as durant comes up Klay's received fewer ball rotations, chemistry and rhythm also changed up
so they needed to locate their places around, even Durant keep doing his role other players need to adjust again, but as mentioned, GSW already
proven that in anyhow they can manage to adjust if the team needed then new game play will be added.

Maybe in the previous seasons but New York Knicks is one of the team that is expected to make a big move in the upcoming free agency. Theyare even part of the rumor of Kevin Durant saga.

First move is they released their key player, Kristap Porzingis. Plus their current position on the standings will make them get a good spot on the next NBA Draft Pick.

Well then we just have to wait for their move in post season.

Normal thing to happen but the team is already get used to it which they should really be versatile on what kind of situation they do face off when
it comes to team coordination.If a certain player/star cant play with them then adjustments is really a normal thing to be done but i do agree
that it should be changed when it comes to rotations.

I kinda worded my post poorly. I was stating I think the Bulls have the worst organization in the NBA. Trying to think of who could be worse, the Knick’s came to mind, but I feel exactly as you do..they’re looking on the up.

I mean does anyone not agree with this assessment? It’s baffling as a Bulls fan that the owner continues to make poor decision year after year and leave mgmt in place while everyone points and laughs.

It would be better too if I didn’t already know the Warriors (if they remain healthy) are going to win the championship, that way I could enjoy 🏀 a bit more.

Chill GSW people, they have a match later against Timberwolves.

They can retrieve that lost they made with Spurs.
