2024 NBA Season

[Finestream]

Anyway, I feel bad for my team Warriors. They have completely fallen from a very competitive team. It's like they have switched position from Lakers. Too bad, it seems not going to see them in action in playoffs.

You have an excuse on why the Warriors are not the playoff team this season, without Curry and Thompson, it's impossible that it will be the same warriors team. There's still another season, they struggle now or let's just say they have chance to others to come back strong next season.

Even if Curry and Thompson will come back soon, being one of the worst team in the NBA, it's not likely the Warriors will make it to the playoffs.
It will need a big run if they will:(

We will see what will happen in the midst of their game, and for now it's not yet certain if they'll still be worst. Curry and Thomson has the capability to play hard, so we can't judge them based of their previous games because as the game run through it's always giving off unexpected shots. As you said a big run is needed, that's how it works as they focus on their goals for the team.

Their status now belongs to the rank of the worst team in the NBA, I am basing on fact which they have a record of 5 wins and 20 losses as of this time, they are just a little ahead by the NYK with 4 wins and 19 loses. Maybe their ranking will improve once Curry and Thompson come back to play again but like I said, I am not expecting them anymore to be in the playoffs.

Anyway, I hope I'm wrong, but I think this is gonna be an easy path for the Bucks in the East towards the NBA Finals.

I might disagree with that "easy" path.

That was the same expectation last year for a much dominant team in the East like Bucks, Raptors, and Celtics but in the end, the unexpected Raptors owned the Eastern Conference and even got a hand on the Larry O' Brien trophy.

Compare to last season, we can see a much better competition in the East today. Even how currently good the Bucks' record today, once playoffs came, they will start at 0-0 and that's where the real challenge will begin.

It differs when it goes to the playoffs.
All players just become more competitive and trying to knock down the higher seed. It is their chance, specially the number 8th spot.
Last time I saw it was the Memphis Grizzlies knocking down the number 1 San Antonio Spurs.
That is why we cannot say it will be easy after this season.
They really have to be careful every time. One error could lead to losing all the effort they made since they Game 1 of the Season and also this streaks that are happening.

Based on the last season's performance, well we can say the Bucks will have an easier journey but they didn't face the Sixers last playoffs so it could be their greatest rival if ever they will play in the East Finals, The sixers have improve their line up, and they are getting ready for the playoffs while Bucks stick with the old, maybe with few addition but the role players are still intact, hopefully Bucks will not choke in the playoffs.

Look at this video on how Spencer Dinwiddie left hanging Kevin Durant 🤣 https://www.instagram.com/p/B51AmK5BYbt/

It looks like a disrespecting for Kevin Durant.

I laughed a bit on it but it is normal already. I saw Josh Hart left hanging many times already as a Laker and now as a Pelican .

If Durant and Irving will come back playing,  Spencer Dinwiddie might have no room for the team as surely this combo will do most of the offense.
Spencer Dinwiddie not being humble here, hopefully Durant will not ask the management to kick him out.

He will become a chair warmer again for sure when Durant will play alongside Irving and Jordan. They are performing well with their past games since they are 3 games over 500 right now.

It's more than a week before the clash but viewers are hype about this two most favorite team. I can feel how Bucks badly wanted to beat Lakers. They will gain momentum and will erase doubt if they stand a chance against Lakers if ever they meet in NBA Finals.

The hype is now at its highest peak with these two teams. The Bucks are now in a winning streak in the East while the Lakers are the ones who are dominating the West. I'm excited too with this match up but whoever wins this game will have a higher momentum. I want the Bucks to win on this since they are having a winning streak right now .

It is not going to be an "easy" path for Bucks, it could be relatively easier compared to other teams for sure but Bucks have played against teams that are under their levels so far and they don't play too much of west teams anyway, when they face Raptors, Celtics, Sixers they will face the difficulty of how hard it is during playoffs, there is also Miami nowadays that plays good as well. I am not saying Bucks won't make it to finals, they very well could make it to finals, but it just won't be "easy" for them, it will still difficult to beat those teams.

Lakers on the other hand have been playing insanely good compared to what people think, after last year we all thought Lebron would be finished but dude is nowhere near declining, how long can they keep this up? Will they be this good on the playoffs as well?

You got the point, the teams composition of the Bucks compared to the Lakers is way lower and the difficulty will often be faced during playoffs time. On the other hand, the Lakers really played well and it only shows how deadly this team will be during clutch moments.

Of course with the East upgrading their roster, it will be hard for the Bucks to just romp everyone in their path. And we all know that when playoffs come, teams elevated their game a notch higher. Raptors and Celtics will be their biggest hurdle here. Hope that they won't cross path early in the playoffs.

Lebron knows how to keep his body, so I will assumed that he wanted to win at least one championship for LA. I think its much easier for him since he had AD and other supporting cast, so it makes much easier as compare to last year wherein almost everyone is a rookie.

[xLays]

I thought Atlanta Hawks will dominate this season because they start 3-1 in 1st four games and they only lost to sixers by two points.

And look how Jimmy Butler trashtalk Trae Young on IG: https://www.instagram.com/p/B56xiQuhlHB/

after last year we all thought Lebron would be finished but dude is nowhere near declining, how long can they keep this up? Will they be this good on the playoffs as well?

I don't think that way, so not all.

Lebron and his team miss in the playoffs because of his injury he was not able for number of games and prior to that injury, they have a good standing but decline when injury happened to him. Now that he is fully healthy and he doesn't need to carry the team himself alone, this makes them a better team compared to last season, probably the best season for Lebron in lakers uniform.

It is not just because of the health issue. As I see it, that event when Lebron doesn't play much for the Lakers was preservation.
It was all ready. Rumors are already spreading even before the playoffs that AD will be joining the Lakers.
Because of that, they kept Lebron to avoid unnecessary injuries before this year even started.

It went well and we are seeing it now. Lakers have the lead in the West and they might create another record breaking standing if they can also preserve this kind of game.

They are now 21-3 and the best record is still being held by the GSW at 73-9.

[Viscore]

It could either bet the Lakers or the Bucks can do this, both of them have that good record but I like the possibility of the Lakers to beat that best record as long as they will not go with load management, Lebron and Davis been dominating their opponent while the buck only has Giannis which even if he is a star, he might also experience some off night.

But then again the issue about being the GOAT will popped out. 
Lebron dominating the standings and surpassing what Jordan recorded which is 72-10.
That will be something for Lebron again considering he idolize MJ more than any player in the NBA.

Well, he must do it and he can. He had the roster that he needed and the pieces is also complete. He just need to create more winning games and he will be the greatest of his own era.

Is there or will have any chance that the Bucks will break the Warriors' record?

Me, Maybe if Giannis has a teammate like what Curry has when they made that record.

Yes, there is also a chance for that.

Their losses are from the Heat, Jazz and the Celtics.
Now, they have already fought with Jazz again and did win.
They need to redeem themselves with the Heat and Celtics though to prove that they can win against every team in the league.
And then, it will be their first encounter against the Dallas Mavericks and the Lakers next week.
Those two are strong teams. If they can win it, then there is a higher chance for them to set a new record.

The good thing with Lakers load management can be perform even the players are actively playing the coaching staff can limit the minutes of each stars as they are composed of mostly star caliber players. The bench  are too deep where you can pick anyone that can bring good quality night for the team. You can easily switch between Lebron and Davis plus the players who will accompany them inside the court they can rest to the extent that they needed.

Both Bucks and Lakers do have a similar record in today's NBA. Although there could be some kryptonite in the NBA. They only got 5 games or less in order to beat the best record in the NBA. They could do it but remember that they still have a lot of games. That's still have 58 games to go to see in the end if they can beat the record. But anything is possible that's the NBA.

[SirLancelot]

It is easy to talk about how good Lebron is right now because everyone is seeing how awesome he is playing right now, however if you go back pages and check out what people were saying about Lebron last year you will see that there was a lot of people who lost hope on Lebron and thought he came to LA because he felt like he is done and he wanted his last years to be in Hollywood and grow his business and he stopped caring about basketball.

Now, we see that's not true at all and of course Lakers last year versus Lakers this year is totally different with AD on the floor but Lebron is playing his heart out during regular season to show people how he is still amazing. Saying he is good now is not really that important because last year %90 of people said he was trash and too old and done etc etc, he was injured and that was it, he was never that bad, he just had one bad half season and that's it.

What are you talking about, thompson isnt coming back this year so how does he have "the capability to play hard" lol.  Golden state is sunk, no way they make it back to contention by the time curry comes back.  And even if they do they will be a low seed and have to rip through some serious teams to make it anywhere.  Best thing for them to do is just not rush curry back and get him hurt even worse.

Matching or beating that record is going to be tough.  Like tonight Giannis is out, so even though the bucks are heavy favorites they could easily lose this game.  Just like if the lakers have lebron or AD out for a coue games.  Winning 70+ games will be hard to match.  Especially for the western teams right now because of the night in night out competition.

It's the first game he is out because of injury, how long will Giannis be out?

Hopefully he will be back soon and the injury is not that serious, well, it's really tough to reach that record and break the best record but we cannot also underestimate them since at their standing now, it's possible that they can break the Warriors best record, maybe we can give a chance like 20%.
