2024 NBA Season

[Reid]

Thanks, Golden State Warriors for this opportunity. They have now 3 consecutive wins! Staying 15th seed in the Western Conference. lol

Wow!
You did great.
I was busy preparing for Christmas with all the food and visitors. I just hoped I logged in and saw that huge amount of money line. 
Congratulations though.

4th quarter game of the Pelicans against the Nuggets. 7 point lead for the young Pelicans with 5 minutes remaining.
The hell is with this kids. They are really getting better.

[Shimmiry]

Phila is on a great day today and they ar leading the game against the Bucks with almost 30 points.
Bucks are playing very good but Sixers are unstoppable. Joel Embiid had a great first half and the team has a lot of scoring solutions from the 3 point line.

They won this game and the winning streak of the Bucks has been stopped now.
Great game by the Philly, the starters did well scoring all a double digit while Embiid is taking charge of his team.

Congratulations to them, they showed how great they are and beat the best team in the east.

Most rooted for Lakers over Bucks but Bucks won. Now Bucks has been beaten by Sixers. They showed great offense and defense. They held Giannis and limit into 18 points, just 8 field goal out of 27. Middleton step up and had a season high 31 points but not enough. Sixers now feel, what Bucks feel when they beat Lakers. It's a proof that this season is great and different compared to past seasons. The line up is well balanced although playoffs is different.   

Before the NBA 2019 season, one of the biggest team golden states warriors does not win their very own game because of lacking players because of the roster changes; I think this is the reason why they didn't win their game. There is one team who conquer the competition of 2019, and many people didn't expect this gameplay because they think the career of the raptors is already dead. Still, from the previous year, the raptors show they can come back with good and great skilled players. This is the time when they win the 2019 NBA season, and Canada celebrates. This coming 2020 Its going hard because many players again came from the different country goes to their desired teams and play as a good play that will bring them to the championship. The lakers now are showing up their best, and because of LeBron James, I think they will be the next champion again.

Who knows.
Some low rated teams or those in the lower seeds can also defeat the Lakers even with their roster.
All of this will be judged in the playoffs.
When they play against each other giving their all. Unlike now, the season is just to win but never said to break a leg. 

There is Clippers and Denver and even the Pelicans can defeat strong teams, almost winning against the Lakers too. But the top 8 seed will still be the one playing with each other. I guess the Pelicans cannot reach that.

They caught Giannis and Bucks off guard...
I think that the next time Bucks are going to face Sixers they are going to be more prepared and they will have planned other ways to make Giannis score more. Better to lose such games in regular season in order to be prepared for the playoffs.

Most probably adjustment will be made, Sixers are also a good team so let us not look only at the Bucks side.
In fact, with the line up of the Sixers, they have more stars compared to the bucks, and it's just like Giannis vs the Sixers which they will lose that way.

[akmal1984]

I want to bet for the Lakers. But at the end I was very doubtful and ended up only betting 0.017 eth. And it's true they lost again. Are their players injured? I don't really understand why they keep losing later. Is there a decrease in performance or have their games been read by opponents?

I agree, Sixers is also a contender the addition of Harris and Horford is a good preparations for this team to be on top from the east side. Giannis needs the entire bucks to back him up as Embiid and Simmons are working with the entire squad of Sixers. Adjustment will be made for sure as we are still in the regular seasons and all the teams will review everything and enhance the play.

Those 4 starters of the Sixers are all all stars, they are big all stars and their size would be a problem to any team in the playoffs.
It's just one game and it's just a regular season so we can't speculate much on this because sixers also lose to weaker teams, but as we are talking about adjustment, we will see it more in the playoffs, and there's a big probability that these two will face in the EAST FINALS.

Nope, their players are fine, it's just that the quality level of it's opponents this last few games is high. Bucks, Nuggets and Clippers were no joke but of course those losses does not mean that the Lakers is a weak team, they just need to adjust on their weakness the next time they face these teams again. BTW, Kuzma is back and he will help the Lakers to get back on the winning track.

[Oasisman]

Yeah I'm glad Kuzma is back at his game. The Lakers needs him to lead the bench in scoring, because that's one area they need to fill since Lakers is amongst the team with low bench scoring.
Lakers will be fine this season, those losses doesn't mean that much as long as they keep being competent and resilient. They will soon figure out how to improve and beat teams above .500.

Kuzma was leading the team in scoring in the first quarter and it's good to see that his confidence is back.

I was thinking that the good start by the Lakers will help them get out of the losing streak but they choke in the 2nd half, and if you saw the last turnover by Lebron James, that was really not good, that's why people call him a choker sometimes because he does not take over and he was hesitant to take the last shot to bring the game into overtime.

And Lebron James is not 100% yet, so that's one of the reason why they lose in the game.
Lebron vs Leonard in that game, it was Leonard who was so clutch and was very consistent even with his 3 point shooting, while Lebron shoot poorly and made bad decision in the game.

The Final 3 minutes defines who's the real killer between LeBron and Leonard. The mentalities of this two superstars speak up when they are playing in the final minutes of the game. Leonard surely wins the fans as he wanted to keep the ball in his hands and keep trying to convert while Lebron stay the same always finding someone to finish the job for him.

I agree, LeBron really lacks of winning mentality, down the stretch to be specific. But, in fairness, his court vision is  really good that he could make a good assist.
This is one thing that separates LeBron from Kobe, Jordan, Durant, and Leonard. These guys doesn't afraid to take the last shot and would never hesitate nor thought of passing it to anyone.

[Sanitough]

He hesitated that's why he got read pretty well by Beverly, he should have took the last shot, win or lose, at least he tried.
Being a king, he should lead his team especially in tough situations, I can't even understand why he needed to wait until 3 seconds before he shoots the ball when he can make a 3, take the offensive rebound if it missed, and AFAIR, prior to that turnover, Lakers still have 2 timeouts left.

Oh c'mon. Middleton is out there providing good offense.
31 points is not a normal NBA player would do. He is a star too.

It is just that, 76ers had been better this season. With the trade of Butler there is no more dramatic player on the floor.
They could easily create good defense and so does offense.
Tobias and Ben have been really stepping up and look at Embiid, he learned his lessons from the lost against the Raptors.
He is now serious.

Why are you saying that? Why are you discrediting the defense of Beverly into Lebron choke? It is just unfair that you put the blame on Lebron and blatantly disregarding the tough defense of Beverly on Lebron on the dying seconds. Beverly should take credit on that. Clippers won because of tough defense and good offense. That is it.

[el kaka22]

I still don't understand why people think Ben Simmons is a super star, dude is a 14 points per game, less than 10 rebounds and 10 assists, bad defense, non shooting small forward in a time where almost all small forwards are going for that super star level where they defend amazingly (even Lebron started defending again this year at age 35) and shoot the ball very well and focus on one part of the game on top of that like Giannis rebounding or Lebron passing etc etc.

Sixers were lucky and they are 100% not as good as Bucks and it is too obvious now, if you look at the teams and their stats and how they are playing, you will see that Sixers is not as good as people imagine they are, it is narrative and nothing more, they will most certainly be eliminated in second round before reaching the conference finals.

4 consecutive defeats the coach must immediately evaluate the Lakers game. I think this will affect their mentality in the future. Yes, I understand that it is impossible for a team to win continuously. However, if you experience 4 successive defeats I think there is a big problem that occurs

4 in a row isnt really that matter.How about on trying to look on what happened to Warriors? They are now on 3 wins in a row i guess and even beat up Rockets
in spite of the stats deficit which basically means that adjustments would really be there.I did expect for Lakers to win their 2nd game with Clippers but it did
result oppositely.They do really need adjustments and even Lebron is there, it seems he isnt really that 100% well.
