2024 NBA Season

[Harlot]

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

Losing several consecutive games really is nothing in the world of basketball since a lot of factors can contribute to the reason why like Lebron not playing some of the Lakers' games as well as them not being 100% if they are fully allowed to play the game. So really the slump they might be having is from their previous team mates who I think is hoping to get their groove on as well. Lebron started ok for the Lakers and now he is just facing a little injury bug which I think can ne quickly fix.

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.

Really? Lacks of winning mentality? How about gathering another star for the team? How about giving a lot of advice to teammates pre/during/post games? How about passing the first option to AD? Tell me, how will you call that lack of winning mentality? Don't blame the man, look at how Lakers' run during this season. Best in the conference, had the first best winning streak next to the tandem Shaq and Kobe. The reason why they lost this Christmas for the sake of the argument blaming LeBron is because of his groin injury. People in the organization of LA feared that LBJ must take this injury seriously.

Come to think that becoming a Legend on NBA wont be just like that if he do have that lacking of winning mentality yet he had already prove out on what he's capable of.

In regards to his injury,i can see that it is somewhat really that serious yet his recent game with Clippers isnt really that outstanding which you can really saw that he's not on the
condition.

The next game would be on 29 against Blazers, lets see if they would make such changes.

[Kasabus]

Exactly because they really so much on Lebron to win.

However, I think we can also see that in crunch time, he does not want to take a shot, he prefer to pass and fans doesn't like to see like that.
Lakers are winning because they have AD and they'll and their duo is good but the decision making of a PG which is Lebron currently taking that position now, should be smart enough to give his team a win especially in winning time, i don't see that more often this season by Lebron.

[FlightyPouch]

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.

Well, they are still human and I don't think they are fed up with their wins, it might be the pressure they are having. With the win streaks they had, a lot of people are expecting great things from the team, even expecting a record by the GSW. For their game with Clippers, as far as I know that is a personal matter for Beverly.

Nice win by the Dallas against the Spurs, this time they really make sure they'll win although have some small rally.

The scoring balance of the Mavericks is very impressive.
look at them.

D. Powell    11
K. Porzingis 13
D. Finney-Smith 13
L. Doncic 24
T. Hardaway Jr. 17
D. Wright  12

I think it's the first game of Luka which is back from injury.

[Ziskinberg]

I think it's the first game of Luka which is back from injury.

Yes, it's his first game back from injury and he seem to be alright as this game, he almost again tally a triple double.

Welcome back Luka, hopefully he will not be injured again so the success of Mavericks will continue.

Whoa! Nice!
So he is back and already got 24 points. It almost look like he did not came from an injury.

Here are some good bets tomorrow with a risk.  A lot of risk.

Cleveland +13 vs Celtics -13 Moneyline is +700 for the Cleveland. 
Atlanta Hawks +11 vs Bucks -11 @ +500 for the Hawks.

I might take the Cleveland bet rather than the Hawks. 

[Naida_BR]

Portland tried their best against Utah but they couldn't win this dream team.
Lillard scored 34 points and McCollum had a great performance as well but still they lost the game...

I don't think I'll follow that bet, it's too risky IMO, Bucks and Celtics are the two best team now, so I will pass.

Lillard scored 34 points and McCollum had a great performance as well but still they lost the game...

That shot of Melo was a bad shot, he thought he was fouled, if only they give that ball to Lillard or CJ, there's a possibility that it will be properly penetrated.

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.

Because the Lakers are one of the favorite NBA champions for this season. In my opinion, if there is a team that is a favorite and they experience a losing streak, this means there is a problem that occurred. I understand that the NBA has a lot of matches and that it's impossible to keep winning. But experiencing successive defeats ... this is a bit demoralizing from the players for sure

Doncic simply amazed  the fans again, playing smoothly and still dominated the scoring stats. Though he came from the injury but looking from how he showed today seems that there's nothing wrong and he's recovery's already been done. Although Spurs with how they are playing right now unable to blend well.

Indeed, he was really good and he made some good shots effortlessly.
The spurs seems to have a problem within, I think it's time for them to trade their stars like Derozan and L.A and replace with a younger players that has a good potential and still hungry for popularity.

Coach pop is a good coach, so I hope before he retires he'll be able to win a championship again.

Yeah, that is what I said. It is risky. But for +700? I think that is a good bet even for just $10? It is gambling though.

It had been the case of the Spurs from the start.
There is just no chemistry there anymore.
Their game had been whack most of the time.
I am waiting for Belinelli to step up once again. That guy is a sharp shooter buy yet I don't see that anymore.
Same guys works the offense. Aldridge, DeRozan and Gay. They should really find some better improvement in the second team.

Good luck mate, it would be nice if you can actually win that one.

I check on the betting site already, .. how about this one too?

Actually, IMO it is good for the team to lose sometimes. A high caliber team like Lakers will think they are invincible if they keep on winning. That will be bad in playoffs when they are playing in a series and their weakness is exposed. It will be too late then to make adjustments. At least when they lose in regular season, they can still make adjustments, trade players and remove their weakness.

Spurs are very inconsistent. There are games that you can really say that they have the chemistry, but the next game, complete disarray. They always try to make a comeback and it usually fall, just like what we have seen against the Mavericks.

Coach pop is a good coach, so I hope before he retires he'll be able to win a championship again.

Unless he really get's someone to really turn the team around. I don't know, maybe it will be very difficult to build another dynasty that the established in the 2000's.

That's a speedy recovery for Doncic right there. I don't know what therapy he undergoes but but it seems too fast. Unlike the injury of Stephen Curry where it's his finger only and it took him months I guess and still didn't play until now.

Curry needed a surgery so it needs him to rest months.

while doncic injury was just a sprain ankle so it's not really series, just a days of rest and he is alright, and so we saw his usual play again.

Made sense, but 4 consecutive losses ain't good for the team though. Another loss and they will surely needs an adjustment, whether to trade someone or just improve ball movements. LeBron's style of game is an open book to any teams right now, and any teams with good defensive awareness and hussle like the Clippers or Bucks can shut him down and the entire team since he's running their offense most of the time.
