2024 NBA Season

[vella85]

Houston Rockets vs New Orleans Pelicans, with the duo James Harden and Westbrook Houston became strong and can win the NBA title, well it's will be an easy game for the Rockets. I will bet for them to win this game.

Phoenix Suns will face Los Angeles Clippers in an easy game for the Clippers, with Leonard Khawi and Williams Clippers became so strong they even beat Lacers and Golden State Warriors, I will bet for The Clippers to win.

I like both of these teams to win as well but the Rockets hurt my parlay the other night losing to the Bucks but I do think they get the job done tonight and I'm thinking that they can go on a nice run over the next week. For some value I have also added the Hawks to cover the +2.5 against the Magic.

Are you watching the game between Rockets and Pelicans right now? Do you think that the game has a bad officiating? For me it is. After the second quarter ends, James Harden showed his frustration in the game by bouncing the ball hard. Although it's a little bit funny since he hit himself off of that.

Anyway, the Lakers young core before showing dominance in the game. Lonzo with nice shooting motion and he's like the Lonzo from UCLA. I really thought this gonna be a blowout.

[Oasisman]

On the other hand, I think Draymond was really affected by the sudden change in roster and rotation, he was like the source of hype before.

Just like the Lakers when they loss in their first game and we judge them but they come back strong  to win in their 2nd game and it was Lebron who took in charge of the scoring.

About the Warriors, they are a champion team and they have a pride, one loss is not enough to judge them this season although they loss Durant permanently and Thompson temporarily, I am pretty sure they will adjust and bounce back so check them out in their 2nd game.

Let's see if the GSW still has the caliber they once had before. Most of the team adjust to the way they play against the warriors but they seem to be relying still on their type of plays. I think GSW needs another play aside from living and dying on threes.

Pretty much every team in the NBA right now are all shooting 3's as much as the GSW team in general.

I really have a doubt for the Warrior this year, though D.Russel's acquisition somehow fill the lack of offensive fire power when they lost Durant and Klay injured. But, I really think It will never be enough. Maybe this is just the start of the regular season, but I saw how Steve became frustrated at some point in the pre-season, and It really is something that will bother and worry him in the regular season.
 I'm not hating, I'm just stating my opinion.

[NavI_027]

One more thing that I noticed.
Seems like Russell is trying to be the star of the team. Although he is shooting quite well they must execute the play to avoid being predictable.

It would be difficult for him because The Beard always have the heart of Houston fans. And besides, he is newly traded there and it will take some time for him to be appreciated despite of being an All Star player already.

That is how GSW plays and it works for so many times. Rotating the ball and finding the man which is free then back to ISO.

Yeah! I wonder if they can still reveive their "Strength in Numbers" Spirit because that is where they became popular — teamwork at its finest. But honestly, I'm getting a little bit skeptical about it because their current roster is not on their optimum level.

Who would have thought that Suns will give the Clippers it's first lost of the season?

Score: 130-122

Suns lead as much 15 in the fourth, before Lou Williams ignited a run, back to back three's but it was not enough for them to recover in time.  I thought it was going to be an easy win for them, since Clippers man handled Lakers and Golden State in their first two games.

I have not seen the game live, and I cant say the Clippers have an off night since there were like 4 of the Clippers scored double digit including Leonard. The Suns may have Excell more than the Clippers and played very well. That's not so surprising in the regular season though. Everything matters in the playoffs anyway.
Props to the Suns for beating the most favoured team this year.

For sure no one expected that as well . On the first 3 quarters Clippers can still hang on, actually they're alternating on getting the lead but in the few minutes before the end of the game they began to fail. Their shooting accuracy fall down and they also give plenty of counted fouls on the other team. For me that's the reason why they lost. Anyway, 2-1 is a good standing afterall. Better luck next time.

I thought the clippers were gonig to be strong favourites... Somehow they lost to the worst team in the league with the Suns. Big Lol.

Congrats to all of the players who bet moneyline on the suns, I guess. Clippers are likely to going to have games like these without PG13, but Kawhi should have really done a better job today given the circumstances.

This also makes me think that Suns are going to be vastly improved, they're 2-1 now and I don't think that's by accident.

[Bttzed03]

It's hard for any team to sustain the same level of intensity in each game. This is why you see games like this, a seemingly weaker team (Suns) beating a superior team on paper (Clippers).

Few games in and you can already determine the worst team in the league?

Clippers fans beating Lakers and Warriors without PG: We're the best of the best team.

Suns fans beating Clippers without Ayton and Rubio: Hello?

[Reid]

Pelicans and Kings at the bottom standing both at 0-3 in the West.
While in the East are Knicks and Pacers.

So it looks ike what Knicks management wanted doesn't seem to work.
They want to build young guys but did not took into consideration into getting a good veteran to teach the young players.
A leader is always needed with one team.

While Indiana is still waiting for Oladipo's come back, they still have Turner, Holiday and Brogdon to find ways to win. Still they lose against the Cavaliers with a large lead.

[Rikafip]

I watched Jazz vs Kings last night, this game reminded me of Jazz from previous season- team basketball and a lot of assists. Their offense looked much better with Bojan Bogdanovic being back after light injury. He scored 26 pts   in 24 minutes, on very good shooting, he is establishing himself as 2nd scoring option after Mitchell. And Conley looked  better tonight.

I am looking forward to Blazers vs Mavericks tonight, it might be an interesting game.

Probably Clippers just having off-night and Suns playing good basketball and wanted to show everyone that they are no push over this season.

It was a galant offer on Clippers though, it was not as easy win for Phoenix as Clippers was still pushing in the last five minutes of the game. I guess Phoenix is the better tonight improving their record to 2-1. Still early to say that they are going to be the worst team or Clippers being the best team.

Lol, maybe they just really under-estimate Phoenix tonight, the Suns has a great start in the first quarter and took the lead and never look back. They also had a good night rotating the ball and finding the free man to score under the basket.

And Suns are not afraid to get inside the paint and challenge their big man. Nice game for Booker.

They can't win every games they played and that was one game that we could say an off night for the Clippers.

I bet for that game and readied myself for that situation as even teams without a legit superstar can beat a star studded team in a given night if all or most of there shots are falling in the basket.

I think the clippers did not underestimate the suns. It's their third game in just one week, so it should have been a day off for them and not to give it all to avoid being injured. The season is just too young to give their a-game and I'm sure the clippers will bounce back after this loss.

Phoenix Suns played really different now and it's because of their coach Monty Williams that have a great leadership. Clippers seems really surprised from offense and defense that suns showed as they don't even know who will they guard though with 6 of suns players made double digits.

While on the other side the second upset of it's game today. Milwaukee Bucks lost to Miami Heat with a winning score of 131-126 in overtime. Miami heat get up with a score lead of 21 in the 3rd quarter and the best of that is they did it without their star player Jimmy Butler.

Isn't amazing to watch a team who have multiple players that scored double digit. It just showed how in-sync their team is and the level of unselfishness is quite well. Most likely a team with that kind of scoring division will have the W.
I didn't watch the game live, but upon looking at the stat sheet, It seems that the Clippers were also playing well, maybe it just that the Suns are excellent in this game.

[Lucas*]

Oklahoma City Thunder will face Golden State Warriors, without Westbrook thunders are week they lost their first 2 games  against Utah Jazz and Wizards, also the Warriors lost their first game against Clippers and they are hungry to win tonight, I will bet for Golden State Warriors to win this game.

Ayton's loss was not a big deal, now those speculators who are thinking that clippers is unbeatable may relax a bit, they just lose against the suns who is known as a shitty team, that's why they gave the suns +10 at their home but the suns are ready for them.

Booker was being Booker in this game who scored 30 points and their great shooting night is pretty evident here.
Maybe the Clippers is a bit tired in this game, they won 2 consecutive and now they loss 1 on the road,(actually their first loss), let's see if clippers will bounce back in the next game.
