2024 NBA Season

[Reid]

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.

That will be questionable if they still lose to this team of Oklahoma which had been overhauled after the trade of Westbrook.
They might still have their role players but their superstar is out.
I dont think CP3 can create chemistry with the team in just a small amount of time.

The defense of GSW might have been whack by now but they are still the a contender of the NBA Finals. They will really need to straighten up all their errors by now even without Klay in the line.

They will again be tested in this game, they will playing on the road against a team that is also struggling.
I am just a bit curious on why people are not seeing the Warriors as still a good team because in this game, they maybe the favorites but only a slight favorite. I will surely watch this game tomorrow, its very early but I could give time because I am hoping the warriors will bounce back and win 1 in the road.

GSW have a good advantage since Russell and Curry needs to step up from this game and develop leadership to form a new team that will
be more competitive. While OKC who's losing both 2 previous games are still having issue who's going to lead them after WB left them.

Handicap for GSW +1.5  is quite interesting with 1.80 odd, while ML 1.90 also considerable.

It's more like the GSW will win this match but we can't really tell since OKC has a young core which make a good match up for the warriors. +1.5 handicap for the warriors seems interesting too, well they still have the advantage though.

I have said that nobody should be caring about the early regular season but people got too excited to see warriors losing and Lakers losing because they hate those teams (one is one of the most championship won teams ever the other has been a big Dystansty for the past 5 years) but reality is it is still early season and teams are not playing with their 100%.

We won't be seeing teams 100% until late this season (after all-star break) and then their real 100% will be live when they are on playoffs. Most people think the real basketball doesn't even start until playoffs. The only difference is you get to see how people used their summer time, for example some players like Dejounte Murray and Markelle Fultz can shoot now, or Lebron cares about defense now, those type of things matter, rest doesn't really matter that much.

The regular season is for building chemistry between players and they're new acquired stars. Trying to blend up and build a strong strategies to
keep until the payoffs. Every teams are building plays that needs to master while playing inside the regular seasons, trying each combinations
and try to keep repeating the same play reading each individuals to create spaces to execute.

Inside regular season, the players and management also trying to keep the players healthy if possible not to acquire any major injuries.

What?!!!!
Are you really legendary or what?

Players have been pumped by the first week of the season and they want to showcase their skills already and you are saying they are not giving theri 100 percent? Are you crazy or what? Are you even playing basketball in your life?
You always knew when a player gives their all and I saw it with them already. It is almost the playoffs of their career.
Why?

Simple. Specially in the Western side.
They already knew the competition is getting higher and every game is a must win.
Those facts identifies everything already.

I had to laugh at the comment about players/teams not playing 100% early in the regular season and they only do it late in the reg. season and in the playoffs.

If they don't play 100% (or try to play at that level) in all games in the regular season, there's a 99% chance that they will not make it to the playoffs.

This is not true, you might have this idea because you will see some stats of players improve after the all-star break but they play their 100% all of the time especially if they want to increase their value in the market or at least have a spot in the roster. Showing no commitment in the game would only boot you up to another league like what ex-NBA players have already did, the coaches won't simply allow their players to give sub par performances each night as it will just decrease their chances of winning games and be part of the playoffs. Not unless the team is tanking I don't see any reason why they would just play shitty performances each night especially if their fans are expecting them to win games on their home or on the TV.

I disagree, You expect them at 100% most of the time, this is a professional level and having a lose will jeopardize their spot at the playoffs.
If rest doesnt matter why are the coaches letting the key players sit on the bench when the points have a big difference. Coaches know the importance of it, they dont want them to get worn-out in the long-term effects of the games.

1 or 2 games for me can be done as their experiment but after that, they have to go in all seriously with whomever they will be against with. But you're right that they have to play with all they had for all of those games.

It's about the consistency of a team. If they can get wins from the start, it will give them confidence and will encourage them to do better for every game.

Agree with you, if they will not play based on their true potential, that would also affect their individual record so their future contract might be at risk.
They are surely playing hard to win but early in the season there are a lot of adjustment since some of the players are just new and they need to build the chemistry first which is very important so they will be consistent in every game in the long run.

A blow out loss for the warriors this time against OKC. I think there is something wrong with how the warriors are playing. It seems that they don't have that championship grit that they have the previous season.

It's expected bro that they will struggle this season as one of their offensive weapon is not yet available and the Warriors got their fair share of what we called an adjustment period in this early part of the elimination. They will definitely got their groove back, the only definite is that they won't be champion this time.

D'Angelo Russell is not so consistent who only scored 6 points in this game.
I think we've seen enough for the warriors offense here, without Thompson, they might continue to struggle.
And I also notice that they were also out rebounded by the Thunder and they have a very poor 3 point shooting of only 15.2%, this is uncharacteristic of the Warriors.

[jossiel]

Congratulations to Oklahoma City Thunders, they've won against Golden State Warrior. I thought that they will be able to make more points on their lead as their 1st and 2nd quarter has been so good.

70-37... that's nuts.

Anyway the game ended still with 28 points on lead.

Again, they are on a adjustment period, and we can clearly see they are out of sync right now.
First they loss by 19 points against the Clippers at home, now they loss by 18 points in the road, I think if you are a better, its time to go against the Warriors everytime before they can figure out how to play competitively.

Well, truth be told, thanks to the losses of KD and Klay, their scoring has been dropped by 60 to 70 percent while Steph has to create so much workload with the others of the team.

KD accounted for 30 percent of the team's scoring before his leg injury, and Klay accounted for 35 percent of the team's scoring until the ACL injury. With Curry in the driver's seat, he's gotta figure out a solution to work with Draymond and a cast of unfamiliars (Willie Cauley-Stein, D'Angelo Russell, Glenn Robinson III, and Marquese Chriss) plus a lot of players who played sparingly. It'll be hard for Golden State to get back on track.

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.

Damn that Suns+10, that's straight disrespectful from their team.

Booker was being Booker in this game who scored 30 points and their great shooting night is pretty evident here.

Do you think Booker is a bit underrated? I mean I've seen Devin Booker putting up big numbers, and finishing the game with spectacular stats.
I remember a lot of people only knew him when he scored 70 against Celtics in 2017 and he was even the youngest to score that much in the entire league. This kid really deserves to be an all-star.

Steph has the potential to carry his teammates especially that Draymond green is still in the floor. Just like what he did on 2018 finals even though they didn't win but still curry show some firepower while klay and durant is off the court. I'm still not giving up on GSW but we can't deny the fact that they are not powerhouse team anymore considering that there is a lot of over power team on the west like Lakers, Clippers and Rockets.
