2024 NBA Season

[Ipwich]

Looks like the warriors are going to end the series tonight.
Its's all been Durant show so far, and their defense is really good making Lou Williams scored only 6 points.
Durant also made history for scoring 38 points, I think he tied Charles Barkley for most points scored in a half, they both rank 2nd now.

Good for them, a lot of people have been questioning their will to win against this Clippers. I haven't seen the game though, but if ever they win then they will silence all their critics and proved why they are the defending champs. Congratulations in advance and now it's second round, baby!!.

2nd round is more tougher for the GSW, but they are champ, they will be more confident here.

They have the home court advantage and just like the Clippers, Lou Williams is their man and if he can't score they loss, I think the same will happen with the Rockets if they can stop Harden, let's see how it goes but I still like the GSW to win again against them, game 7 would be alright.

This is how I see GSW performance against LA Clippers. They overlooked Clippers and think that they can easily win against the 8th seed. Over complacent and they are caught by surprised, specially that comeback win against them in game 2. They re-adjust but then fall for the same again. Durant really have to dig deeper on his bag of tricks in this game in order for them to win.

I think the next game with Houston will be different though. There's a lot of pride in this match up. I think it's Steph's time to shine against the Rockets in this series. I'm seeing 4-2 for GSW.

I don't know, but I have a feeling that Houston will be easier for them this year.

They have learn a lot from their series with Clippers and I'm sure they will try to close that gap and not commit that same mistakes. They can stop Harden, but can Houston stop Durant or Curry or even Thompson?

[Xenrise]

I don't know, but I have a feeling that Houston will be easier for them this year.

Who knows maybe it is the reverse of it? Houston have now an improved James Harden that can carry you in all 7 games if need be. Plus you have a not injured CP3. Besides, it's like the warriors last year they are facing off. A warriors without Demarcus Cousins. I think if Houston could play their cards right, maybe they can swat the win.

It's gonna be a tough competitions between this two super teams, Harden vs KD and CP3 vs Curry, a great super combinations that will surely excite the fans, Mind games between two coaches will be expected another game 7 series for me.

I can't believe the type of player Durant became, we always knew he was a great player but his scoring is unparalleled in history. I have never seen anyone, even MJ and Kobe score that easily without even working, Kobe for example had to shoot over 5 guys sometimes and we joked about how he scored over people constantly instead of passing.

Durant is not like that, he just wants to score and does without any effort (at least it looks like that, I am sure there is effort involved). I really can't think of any other competition for warriors as long as they have Durant and he plays like he plays. Yeah rockets have harden and kudos to them but Durant would neutralize that easily and others could make up the difference. I keep thinking warriors could be beaten eventually but they always remind me why they are the best roster ever assembled.

[Distinctin]

Experience does really matter and also come to think of that pressure is one of the most hard enemy into these kind of competitions but it doesn't mean that Nuggets
wont really have the fight.Even me wont make any bets on this game because it is really indeed a risky move.

There is not such thing as non risky move, this game is fun so its the best time to put our bet.
I can do it for fun only, just a small amount would do to spice the excitement, drink beer while watching and that's it, win or loss, okay.

Oh! I presuming for those bettors who do take it seriously and putting up big bets but well I do agree that it doesn't matter as long you do enjoy
the bets you do make and that's the true essence of sports betting on where you do enjoy up on the team you are eyeing.

Not necessarily to all, sports bettors if aiming for real profit has to be realistic, if we bet only on teams that we love, we would be bias and we will not see the real value on the odds offered.

He was at OKC and yet they are losing. Even Clippers gave them a hard time.
There is a weakness for this team and Clippers found that out. It is just that there is a counter for GSW too.
With Durant, they have a larger option for offense. But still if others wont work they cannot win the game.
It will always be a team play. Defense though of GSW is still low. I do think that is the key to defeating them and stopping them to make offense afterwards.

[freedomgo]

Congratulations to the Denver Nuggets for winning the game 7 at home, that was a tough fight but they were successful.
The 2nd round they will be facing the Blazers, Lillard is always unstoppable but this time they will surely miss Nurkic as Jokic will surely dominate the inside.

He hasn't matured yet when he was in OKC. I wouldn't say that they are losing, they've been in the playoffs. But the problem is the lack of experience that time. But since he has gain so much when he moves to GSW and now he we are seeing a prime Durant.

"You know who I am", I'm Kevin Durant".

The score, 90-86. Nuggets started strong building a huge lead, but we all know that San Antonio has the capability to come back, so they did, cutting the lead to 2 with less than a minute. However, Murray hit a clutch floater with 40 seconds left, sealing the with. Jokic finished with 21 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists (triple-double). Now they are going to face the red hot Lillard and Portland in the second round.

They almost blow their big lead, Spurs are not giving up, they almost win this game but it's just the Nuggets are very aggressive and they are hungry for the win. Jokic is the star of the team but he trust his teammates by sharing the bull, and that's what makes this team successful, they played like a real team and not individual game.

The score of the game is low meaning both of the teams played well on defense. The Nuggets just did better than Spurs. Now they proceed to the next round and will face the Blazers on the 2nd round. Nurkic will not play so Jokic will be the man they must defend. They must know how they will stop him.

On the other hand, the Raptors won against the Sixers. Well played on their home.

Blazers will be facing a tougher team, they have to defend all players as Denver are moving the ball pretty well.
It's not only Jokic that is scoring, their threat is from inside and outside they are not the OKC where only WB and PG will score most of the time.
I guess this time around, Blazers will already run out of luck.

On the other hand, the Raptors won against the Sixers. Well played on their home.

Kawhi Leonard is a machine in this game, he was activated for the playoffs, they have a chance to win in the East.

It will be interesting to see how well the Portland will play Jokic. He is not a Paul George type of playing, he is also good in spotting open team mates so Trailblazers will need a lot of help in trying to contain Jokic.

We have seen Durant and Lillard starting to heat up, and not it's Kawhi turn to show his true playoff potential with that monsters game.

Lillard can be stop with good defense but Kawhi and Durant is a different type of player, they are elite superstar, have already won Finals MVP.
In terms of defense, you can count on Kawhi on that and what's good for him is that he improve his 3 point shooting.
He also are surrounded by great teammates, so they are a tough team to beat.

I watched the high lights of the game and yes, it was a very difficult win for Nuggets. The good thing is that the we're able to put a good lead and just hold onto it.

I wonder though about DeRozan, he seems to be choking in big time games, it was Rudy Gay and Lamarcus who keep the game for them and DeRozan missed a lot of shots early. And you will see the frustrations on his face after the game.

[peter0425]

On the other hand, the Raptors won against the Sixers. Well played on their home.

Credit Toronto Raptors for putting clamp on their top players, Joel, Simmons and Harris. Ibaka gave Joel hard time and played him physical and use his speed to score lay ups in fast break. While Leonard took the offensive load for the team. Overall, it was a good team effort, making Sixers very uncomfortable.

[GregH37]

I can't believe spurs didn't foul at the end there, I mean there was just 4 point difference and if they fouled there the worst would be around 15-20 seconds left with 3 point difference (if spurs fouled and nuggets made both and spurs made a three) and that would have been the challenge I mean if you steal or even foul you are basically back in the game.

Anyway it was probably already gone but seeing spurs not even try to win didn't really look that good, team is basically tired already, even though they have a "deep" bench (they really don't but they still play everyone anyway because its spurs) this playoff series was on Texas plains and Denver mountains so going up and down really tired the players out so much it was literally visible from their faces, its not easy to play on super high places with harder to breath and than play on Texas plains back on earth.

[Reid]

Somehow we should still congratulate the Spurs for giving us great entertainment.
They are the 7th seed and yet have given a good fight against Denver which is number 2.
Michael Malone is right. They worked hard for taking that spot at number 2 and they need to show it which they did.

Jokic is a monster playing 12 minutes of alternate quarters. Almost everyone in Denver contributes for them to win the 1st round of the playoffs.

Pops is still a monster with plays, no doubt about that.
