2025 NBA Season

[boyptc]

Congrats Clippers backers, you are victorious tonight.

Alright, those who bet on Clippers despite that they're against with Raptors, we've got it guys.

Congrats everybody!

I think they can really win that game against Raptors. But in fairness Siakam still do some good shots to caught up with clippers. It is just, odd that the highest points came from Bench player of Clippers Lou Williams bagging 21 points, though  Leonard finished with 12 points, 9 assists and 11 rebounds almost a triple double stat.

I think Raptors have chance with them if their team got Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka on the floor who got injured last friday with New Orleans Game.

Anyway, the next team for Raptors will be ok Portland Blazers homebound, I think these two are match up and can have a good game but still I'm rooting for the defending champion to win this game after an unfortunate defeat from clippers.

They have a chance but it's their situation that they can't handle anymore. They've fought against this bound for championship team nicely and they've done it well.

Although they've lost, still they've done their best.

you cannot judge a team's chance to win the championship with just one game only, did we think that Clippers has no chance to be champion when they loss against the Suns, we didn't, right? why? because we love the team and they are very hype this season.

Also, take into consideration that the Raptors beat the Lakers and its their 2nd game in 2 nights so they might be a little tired, and it happened because the Clippers won the game through a very good 4th quarter effort.

Although they've lost, still they've done their best.

Every team are doing their best, no team would say they didn't, thats for real.

Those who bet on the Raptors/Clippers game early were able to get a line of +10.5 and lucky if they bet on the Raptors they only won by 10 points.

This is indeed a good test for the Clippers, it was a great game as it ended up a low scoring game and thought Leonard struggles in scoring but good thing there's always the 6th man of the year who are always ready to help him and the team to win.

Congrats Clippers backers, you are victorious tonight.

Low scoring game with 10 point lead. I guess who could say that Raptors still gave them a good fight.
It also means defense is included even with exhaustion to their players.

A big win for those who made a bet at 10.5. How do the odds maker calculate that. It is still a wonder.  
Raptors though still look like they have the champion fire.
They win against the Lakers and now they gave the Clippers a hard time.
It is really different when you are a fresh Champion. We saw it with GSW. Raptors now have the confidence.

Right, the Raptors has been in the fight the whole game.

They have a good defense in the fourth but they are not hitting their shots because the Clippers also put a good defense on them, VanFleet was block 2 or 3 times if I'm not mistaken.

Just imagine if their second or first scoring option Lowry play and Ibaka in the middle, Raptors are still to beat even without Kawhi on their line up anymore.

[Jating]

He will likely just end up having a double double and a win, and I like to see that happen.  

Sorry mate but it didn't happen because the Mavericks loss in the game.

Final score is 106-116, and though luka had scored 34 points, but he lacks only 1 assist to end it in double double, but they still loss anyway.
this proves to us that Celtics remains as good as they area although Hayward was injured because anyone is willing to step up and that's the reason for their win against the Mavericks.

"Give the ball to Kemba", lol, it was also a close match, but it looks like Celtics has more to offer in the last 4 minutes of the game. I thought that Dallas will win specially when it seems that Luka was taking the game over with consecutive basket.

But Kemba specially Jaylen Brown closed them out, Smart and Wanabaker also contribute big as well. Sad to see Luka though, he always plays good but his team always fall short.

You're absolutely right! They showed Kawhi that even though he left them, they could still beat his team. And I must say, Pascal Siakam did pretty decent in limiting Kawhi Leonard on scoring. Yet his free throws save him. Is Boucher a rookie? Man, he got some guts taking the posterize from Montrezl. Most players in the NBA are too afraid getting posterized but he, he has some guts. Great game still for the both teams. Most probably this could be a game changer when PG is there.

We know the capabilities of PG his addition to this team will make them more solid, same alike with Kawhai he can both shot and defend. His presence will add more threat both from the outside and inside area,  attracting the defense to create space for kawhai and williams and help Beverly to guard up star players. It's interesting to see if how Clippers will be once PG play with them.

Oh I missed that. Ibaka and Lowry. But it is going to be a short rest for them.
Yes, it could have been a better game if the two could participate.

Injury updates though.
Lowry with left thumb fracture, which had been a problem before.
Ibaka with Sprained Ankle.

Those kind of injuries will be easy to deal with. Soon, both will be playing in their full strength.

[spadormie]

Lowry with left thumb fracture, which had been a problem before.
Ibaka with Sprained Ankle.

Hoping that those injuries are not that bad unlike Curry's. I really think that warriors made Curry's injury look bad because of the current roster. Anybody thinking the same way as I am? LOL.

Boucher used to be a GSW player, and won a ring if I'm not mistaken.

I agree that Siakam put up a solid defence against Leonard in this game and Toronto could have won this if they just hit their shots on crucial moments. I think that Toronto is still the team to beat in the ECF, specially if Lowry and Ibika come back strong after their injury.

I guess that experience of going to a hard grind last year and win the trophy with Leonard really give them the experience and the players gaining a lot of maturity.

[beerlover]

All teams are looking not that bad don't you guys agree? I mean sometimes one team plays amazingly and the other plays bad but on average there are like 10 teams at least I love to watch right now, NBA became such a league suddenly in one off-season that I wouldn't be shocked if any team won the ring.

Right now, there are Clippers,Lakers,Rockets,Bucks,Sixers,Raptors,Boston and even Denver looks good, Spurs started out the season amazingly and I love them to death but they failed to recover and now back on 5-5, I wish they could actually pull it together because they all have the talent but it looks like they are missing the fire. All in all there are soo many games we will have fun this season, regular season is more entertaining than last year and I love it but with time I am pretty sure playoffs will be even better!

And that's making a lot of memes on different social platforms on what's the current state of Golden State Warriors now.

Are you forgetting the Golden State Warriors in your count? If we are talking about the balance changes or how teams are equally performing well then you are wrong since the Warriors are looking like a lottery team with just two wins in almost a month after the season has started. Even with Steph Curry still playing together with DLo and Draymond they still manage to lose against the Suns and the Williamson-less Pelicans. I don't know but I think they are really tanking this season in the hopes that they could bring a big rookie back in San Francisco just in time when Klay and maybe some key pieces they will get from the DLo trade they will have for the next season.

[batang_bitcoin]

It's a team game and this isn't just an individual game though there's an impact for those core players of them but still they are in the professional scene and their training even harder than this kind of condition.

Exactly, their coaches knows how to manage their time so let's still expect that tonight it's gonna be an exciting game to watch.
Leonard to face his old team and will prove that they are no better team without him but Raptors refuse to accept that and they will prove they are still a good team even if he leaves them after they won their first championship.

The Raptors just showed on who they were even without Kawhi on their side. I can say that they were still a strong team even without him. And those who have gambled for Raptors, sad to say that many of you lost but it's okay at least you've tried to be with them and believed on what they can do. The game was close until the last minute of the game. All I can say is that Raptors exerted effort on this game and it was close for them but this is for the Clippers.

That's right especially on Siakam who has been the offensive anchor for the raptors. I believe that their championship experience has dug up their morale to pursue their playoff run this season.

[btc_angela]

^^ Siakam was dealt or shall I say rewarded with a huge $130 million, four year extension max contract. And he is really showing that it by playing his best basketball year so far, as the offensive anchor of the team. And the thing with Toronto is that they are low key, which means that maybe just because there's no more Kawhi, they are taken lightly. But they are all wrong as Toronto is showing that they can do it with or without Leonard.

I can say that he deserve this big amount because he played hard and he has improve a lot last season.
He got his first championship and get a good salary, I think this guy is blessed.

[vella85]

I think the best value for tonight is the Blazers to get the win at the ML so I got a single bet on them to win and I also got a parlay with the Blazers at the ML, Pacers at the ML and Suns to cover the +3 spread. I actually like the Suns to cause an upset but to play it safe I got them to cover. The odds for the parlay is $6.30.

[Lucas*]

Phoenix Suns will face Los Angeles Lakers tonight, both teams have a great begin of season, Suns with 6 wins in 9 games will be a great contunder for the Lakers who lost the last game after a 7 wins arrow, well I think Lakers will search the win tonight and I'm sur that they can do it, I will bet for LA Lakers to win this game.

Lakers will play without Anthony Davis and can be considered as an advantage of these underrated team Suns. We know Phoenix Suns have that "kicks" inside and they already show their power to the most dominant teams like Clippers and Sixers.

But on the Lakers side, we know James' capability even the main lineup is incomplete. Lakers still have that strong lineup even Davis was out. Let's see how Phoenix Suns will handle James and the Lakers in front of their home crowd.
