2024 NBA Season

[matchi2011]

@Oasisman. You speculate that the Raptors will not be champion if Kevin Durant was not injured hehehe.

In any case, Warriors versus the Clippers is next. Is the Warriors strong this year? I reckon this GSW team might not challenge for the western conference championship or go far in the playoffs or might not reach the playoffs hehehe.

Warriors is no longer that type of caliber team, since the gameplay is already predictable if Russell and the splash Bro. will be guarded down, this
team will no longer functional unlike when KD and Iggy was there, with Bogut and Livingston they have someone who will add good rotations giving
spaces and some lift. Now that most of them are new to the game plan it will take time for them.

It seems like the clippers are packing up this game. It's fourth quarter and the lead is too much for the warriors to come back in the game. 30 point lead by the clippers and it seems like the win is on the bag already for them.

Why others make it a big deal on Brookly Nets' loss despite Irving's 50 points production? He is the main center of their offense so expect a great number of FGA for this guy.

It's just a one-point game. I will understand frustrations and disappointment if they lose with a big lead behind that big production by Irving. Both teams exchanged leads during the final few minutes until the final buzzer sounds. So overall, they both played good.

Nets losing that game is not because of lack of production of Irving's teammates but Timberwolves did a great performance too. Big production by Towns and some of the clutch shot made by Andrew Wiggins. It's just that during the last possession, Irving loss handles so he made a quick shot for a buzzer-beater.

Nets today are way different compared to Nets back then. They are more improved. Timberwolves is more of a dominant team compare to them but look at the result, Nets gave them a hard time.

Correct. KAT suddenly becomes a monster in 3 point line.
Did he freaking train this?
Looks like NBA centers are really doing a lot of effort to make some changes in the game.
Now that KAT started his game with raining 3 points, it will be easy for him to make a hesitation move and then attack the paint. Scary!
They did really well and so does the Nets. It is a game that looks like the playoffs for me.
Hoping to see more of this kind of game and not just this start of the season.

KAT has been shooting in the 3 point line in the last season, he is a kind of center that we can call a complete player now, I am not checking the stats yet but I think he is one of the best 3 point shooters in the NBA for a player who are playing a center position.

If anyone had any doubts who is the main title contender, now it should be clear. Clippers look crazy good so far and they can only get better when Paul George comes back in a couple of weeks.

Big hit for Suns, Deandre Ayton tests positive for  diuretic  and gets 25 game ban. Too bad for Suns, they looked good in their first game vs Kings, this will mess them up for sure.

That's a bad news for the suns, they had a good start but with this unfortunate news, they might again end up as the worst team in the NBA.
Hopefully there's a replacement for him from their D League that will earn a decent minutes and will be discovered.

time for Aron Baynes to shine now as I think among the centers of suns he is a more productive player compared to the remaining.

Why does this player do drugs in this early part of the season? Does he average 30+ minutes per game to use drugs? I don't think this player have a good future in the league.

Check his stats here https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/a/aytonde01.html.
I don't usually watch when the suns are playing because they are not a contender, but this man has a good stats based on the what I share above.

He averages double2 last season in rebounds and points, so definitely he is very important to the team and that 25 game suspension is such a big loss for the Suns who are trying to improve their record this season.

[Bttzed03]

^ Those are good stats. Suns would surely need those kind of production but they'll have to adjust for the next 20+ games. The Players Association made an appeal to reduce the duration of the ban.

Clippers blowned out warriors with a winning score of 141-121. It was D'Angelo Russle debut game that he made 20 points and 8 assists, not bad looking at all.

Warriors is literally lacking on defensive that gives clippers easy points, size matter at all and where talking Kawhi Leonard whos needs to guard each entire players in the court. Clippere dominated it again without PG and Chris Smoove.

[Botnake]

Clippere dominated it again without PG and Chris Smoove.

I know PG was out of the game but I don't know who is Chris Smoove? lol.

By the way, speaking of how they dominate the Warriors, people are now expecting that they will become the team that is hard to beat and probably the team with a chance to win the championship this season, that would be Leonard back to back championship on different teams, and I don't know if there's anyone who already did that in the past,.

Clippers did very well, while those contenders that they potentially have are all started with a loss, Lakers, Houston and Warriors are all start with a losing stat, while Clippers with Kawhai really play an impressive stats.

You said it right, Kawhai shows he's hunger for the title, and the chance to have the season MVP if he will continue to play healthy and have the same
momentum.

These kind of things are not always intentional, sometimes players just use something that contains forbidden substance without even knowing. But even if he didn't know that he is taking something illegal,t hat doesn't absolve him from responsibility, he has to be more careful in the future.

Another good game tonight, Lakers vs Jazz. This will be a good test for Jazz, to see whether they  are team that can go deep into playoff, for that they will need Conley playing much better than in the 1st game. I will root for Jazz, but my money will be on the Lakers

That's some cheese bro. Kidding aside Chris Smoove is a NBA 2K player and a popular youtuber who's known for his gaming videos NBA 2K.

I wonder how many warriors bandwagon fans turning into Clippers.

[freedomgo]

I wonder how many warriors bandwagon fans turning into Clippers.

You can exclude me, I am a solid Warriors fan and I will still love that team as long as the splash brothers are still playing.
They are called splash brothers but now one brother is down so they are not as effective as before.

Clippers looks unbeatable against the Warriors but its just two games, people are so fast to conclude that Clippers will be the new champ but its still pretty to tell, once Thompson is back, it will be back to its original warriors form and even though they might not end up holding the top 3 but getting into the playoffs is already a big as the real battle is in playoffs.

[Reid]

GSW losing to the Clippers with a big lead.

Hmmm this is something new. But I watched it carefully as I know how their offense and defense  works.
Their gameplay is a whack.
It is like the other player doesn't knew what the next step will be.
Screens are happening but help doesn't come.
I remember Curry always switching once a mismatch is on going. He is looking at his back trying to tell the other player to switch. I didn't see that.
The whole game is all about the offense. But just like other teams, let us give this Warriors a chance. They still might be in chaos for a lot of changes in their roster.

I am an NBA fan and I can see that there are more and more Clippers fanatics because they're favorites to win the championships this year. They have an experienced Kawhi Leonard and PG. Some can imagine how good the Clippers will become once PG returns in the normal roster.

The Warriors lost too many capable players when they lost that finals. It should have been an easy blowout if not for KD and Klay injuries. I can understand KD felt he is not fully credited with his 2 champioship rings as he joined a super team. But if ever he crowns again this season, I doubt he will feel comfortable when it was Kyrie carrying the team into the playoffs. KD is possible to return in the playoffs if they can make it.

They have a good system and as long as the players are doing their respective role, we will eventually see the Warriors improve.
Curry scored 23 points but his strength which is the 3 point shooting was missing here because he only shot 2-11 which makes him the worst 3 point shooter in the team.

That's the true loyal warriors fan. Can I know how long will Klay Thompson is out? It's very unlikely for him to play for this 2019-20 season as I've read in a article that Steve Kerr said it's really hopeless for Klay as he will have a undergoing surgery in July 2020.

[Oasisman]

Leonard back to back championship on different teams, and I don't know if there's anyone who already did that in the past,.

Steve Kerr did. Though that wasn't just a back to back champ, since after he won 3peat in Chicago along side Jordan and co. And after that , he also became a champ on the next year in San Antonio Spurs. So, that's four in a row. That's the closest I could think If you're not too specific with just "back to back" champ excluding the other 2 achievements Steve Kerr did in Chicago.
