2024 NBA Season

Former NBA commissioner David Stern died from brain hemmorhage at the age of 77
link

He had huge impact on the NBA. When he took over back in 1984 league had only 23 teams and average attendance of about 11k. When he ended his tenure in 2014 league had 30 teams and attendance between 17-18k. So I would say that he did good job during those years.

I can still remember his voice.
Rest in peace for the face of the NBA before.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Charlotte Hornets tomorrow at 2.11 in the Money line. But -3.5 at the score.
Without Clarkson anymore and Exum not making much contribution for the Cavs this bet will be at risk. 

Dallas Mavericks though might be a good pick at -7.5 vs the Brooklyn Nets.
Money line is 1.90. Yes, I will bet for this.

He has a big contributed of what is NBA now. RIP to him.

OKC managed to beat Dallas as well, they are seriously going for that playoff spot very heavily, I wasn't really expecting them to make this much noise but kudos to them, Chris Paul is getting older every year and he has been slow for a minute there but dude managed to score 13 of the OKC's last 17 points to bring the win home.

Whoa! I just watched half of the game and went to sleep but I didn't think that they could really win that game.
CP3 is really doing it.
It is like he is proving something to those teams that let him go. 

Look at this balance of stats.

•                  R    A   PTS
• Chris Paul  8    7   17
• S. Adams  11   2   10
• D.Schroder 7   4   20
• S. G-A       10  3  19
• D.Gallinari  3    2  20

Chemistry is real.

That's correct, they have a good Chemistry and thanks to Paul for making OKC a better team again, without Westbrook they are not a shitty team.

  Yes they are. The thing is both teams have gotten better.
Mike D'Antoni looks happy although they are ranking in the fourth place.
He did get what he want.
A speedy and offensive oriented team. He loves that kind of tactic.

On the other hand, I didn't expect OKC to be this better with just adding Chris Paul in their roster and Gallinari.
Both are team mates in Clippers and now they got bonded again. I guess that is also a plus for OKC.

Sorry I can't remember they were teammates, can you tell me what season they were teammates.

What I remember only is that the Clippers with Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, Deandre Jordan, Jamal Crawford, and JJ Reddick, they are one of my favorite teams in the past.

Yes they were teammates in NBA 2017-2018 season when Harrell wasn't as outstanding as his performance this year.

https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/LAC/2018.html  
They had a pretty solid line up with Tobias and Blake in it, too bad they got eliminated in the 1st round by the GSW.

On the other hand, Lakers was playing an awful 4th quarter against the Suns lol.

I was looking into that link before I posted my last reply, I can't really find the name of Chris Paul, I tried "CTRL F"...

that's the reason I lose my bet.

Paul already with Houston that year so I think they've never get the chance to play together before. Though they are getting a good bonds with the rest of their teammates as Paul is really making a big impact sharing the ball to everyone. They've still got the chance even they are now the underdog after WB left them, but with how the entire team are doing they still making the win.

That was a serious contender team back in the day, clippers gone through a very bad case of players being injured right at the worst possible times. I mean that team with big three and some amazing help were capable of beating any team in the league but also were very injury prone and eventually they got older and older and had to stop because their talents weren't as good as it used to be, I don't remember if CP3 was the first to go or Blake was but they both bailed on that team eventually since they couldn't get any better at all with age, they were getting worse but at their peak they were just unbelievable, could go toe to toe with any major team of their era. OKC is not only good because of CP3 tho, they are somehow all playing well beyond their talents, no idea how.

Money line is 1.90. Yes, I will bet for this.

The way the knicks handled the nets, I think dallas at 7.5 is a pretty good bet.  Nets will not be able to keep their heads above water without kyrie for much longer.  Spencer has been good but not enough to keep the nets relevant.  Dallas by 15 might be a reality.  119-104 dallas wins this one.

 Its sad that David Stern passed away, many remember him not so well because of his early 2000 moments where he decided to make NBA more "appealing" and stopped Allen Iverson from wearing "hood" clothes, he was seen as a Racist commissioner because of that move and remembered like that. Reality is that he took over just when Bird and Magic was getting in and he made NBA from a "not so well known" game to a situation where everyboyd knows and loves in the whole world without exception. NBA finals were "tape delayed" which means the finals were played and taped and than aired on TV whenever tv station seemed fit, it wasn't liked at that level, when David Stern left his position NBA was everywhere in the whole world. Adam Silver is a great comissioner and I love him but without David Stern we wouldn't have basketball as it is in the whole world today. In many countries people don't know the names of baseball players or NFL players, some do but majorly they are not known that much, EVERYONE knows who lebron james is, thats all thanks to David Stern.

 May him rest in peace.

They removed their talents that loved to be superhero, added a good facilitator in CP3 and that made all other team members contribute. It is just synergy at its finest.

Agreed.  That is a sign of an elite point guard like CP is.  He can pit players in a great position to score and make them better than they would be without him.  CP is so underrated and never gets put up there with all these other superstars.  Dude knows how to play basketball better than most in the nba.

As expected since they are really performing from their respective sides of this league. Both players are also into MVP race, fans are loving how they
contribute to this game and by this voting stats the voice are really loud for this two young superstars.
LeBron though still in the favorite for front court votes together with Davis and Leonard, still have lots of time for this all star voting.

No surprise to me. We all know that Luka Dončić gathered a great number of votes last NBA All-Star voting.

This time, there's no reason now that he won't be part of the upcoming All-Star game. I'm wondering if ever Dončić will be the captain, who will be his set of picks. Last All-Star, LeBron James picks is quite predictable because of some obvious reasons.

Nice to see some unexpected names there like Tacko Fall, Bam Adebayo, Spencer Dinwiddie. I hope one of them will be included.

Luka has now became more popular than Giannis, at least this season because we don't know if he will be able to maintain his kind of performance this season,.. wow, it's all star soon, it was not able to come in my mind but thanks for this reminder, and with the new names, well, I am happy for Spencer Dinwiddie because this guy is a crypto guy, we have to support him.

Put Lebron with Gianis and create another young All Star team.  That will be fun.

Dinwiddie please. That guy will put a good show. That is what All Star is about right? Some show. 

Tomorrow will be a game with Houston against Philadelphia +3.5 @ 2.02. Betting for the 76ers here.

There's also the half bald, half amazing from Lakers (Alex Caruso)

Giannis had his time, this year belongs to Luka. I would have wanted him, Porzingis, and Dirk into the playoffs but the man was more than happy to retire and pass the torch to young Luka.

With his stats..https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/carusal01.html
I don't think he'll be voted.

Young Luka, we are all talking about him this season, that injury in the past if it's serious would have ended all the hype, thanks God he is back.
I can't wait to see for the all star then the playoffs as most likely Dallas will quality.

Oh shoot my bad lol. I was also thinking they played together since I remembered they both played in LAC. I haven't noticed Chris Pauls name isn't on the list, I just pulled up random 2017 LAC roster in the internet lol
