2024 NBA Season

[mirakal]

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  

There was a Paul in the list but it was Paul Pierce, "THE TRUTH"..lol...


All star is approaching, the good teams are still in the West so they'll likely to win the match.
Who is going to show up in the East, I would not be surprise if the line would be -10 west or more during the all star.

This all star, who is your bet on the 3 point shooting contest, I believe Luka will qualify since he has a good stroke and has a good percentage..
yeah I didn't check the stats but I notice he was good in 3 point shooting,.. That step back though.

[Vaculin]

Do we have the list of players already who will be playing in the 3 point contest?

Pretty sure Thompson and Curry will not participate, so we will see new faces and probably new championship this all star.

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

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.

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.

I thought so.
That is a low odds to give for the Brooklyn Nets since they don't have Kyrie. Congratulations to all the winners here.
That was an easy bet and don't need much of an analyst.  

Here is one more to risk your money at.
A battle of the young Pelicans again with the Lakers.
New Orleans Pelicans +11 with +475 on the money.  
Their last battle was just a 4 point lead win for the Lakers.

Dallas is back on the winning track, and once again we have seen some Luka Magic.

He shoots 5-8 in 3 points, scored a total of 31 points, 13 rebounds, and 7 assists, how about him being the all star MVP, is it possible also?

NBA has released temporary results from the NBA All-Star Voting which has been going on for about a week. Keep in mind that this is only the first round and is not final, so all sequences can change later. So what do you think about the temporary results? Is the player you vote already on the list?

No questions asked for Lebron, Giannis and Luka.Its quite surprising on the top 3 guards votes on East which they are just too near to each other.

That was a good win, they need that to stop their losing streak, and Luka was impressive tonight so team looks great, they fought big in 2nd half for that win.

how about him being the all star MVP, is it possible also?

it's possible but if Luka will shy out in shooting the ball, he might not.
It also depends on his teammates and the coaching staff, if he will be given more minutes that the chance will increase.

of course it's expected that the west will win.

With his current stats with a well balanced figures for me he's a big competitive for this award, Luka can do things like how Harden and WB did, he's the team playmaker and if he wanted to hog the ball the licensed is all over him.
It will be decided coming from the votes as statistically wise all of those contenders do have the rights to receive the award.

It's an expected result for these three superstars.

The names are expected to be there but I haven't voted because I forgot to vote, when will be the next voting?

It ain't a problem as long as he perform well then he might achieve it.
But he is playing with stars too and I bet they all want to get that trophy and somehow boast it to his team mates afterwards.  

First, I want him to be the captain in the West and not Lebron anymore.  
Next, if the same thing happens where captains can choose their team mates then he may want those young players also playing with him.
Juts for fun and entertainment.

Luka Doncic has a greater number of votes than Harden and the number is quite significant. it's true that the top 3 guards in the East not too different in the number of votes. but in my opinion, Kyrie Irving will remain in the top 3 on East until the voting ends.

Trae young and Doncic were also rivals for the Rookie of the year award, and now they are leading in voting in their respective conference.
West are composed of experienced and most likely hall of famers players and the East are composed of young and hungry players, this should be fun to watch.

Tray young will likely to return against the Celtics, so it's good to see him healthy again.

Kyrie will  get his spot knowing him as one of the great guards from this league. He still have his fans and the vote will bring him to his spot.

The voting period still up and it will be decided after the closing period. All star week will be interested if who are going to be on the list of

players to showcase their skills and entertained the fans,.

Well, Luka is different from Westbrook and Harden as both are known as ball hoggers, Luka is not, he is a team player and he does not do stat padding.

Well, Luka is different from Westbrook and Harden as both are known as ball hoggers, Luka is not, he is a team player and he does not do stat padding.

Exactly, he is exceptional, if you see him playing, he seems like playing effortless with a good rhythm.

I am not saying Westbrook and Harden are bad, they both won an MVP award so they deserve some respect.
However, I haven't seen this kind of hype from a non american player and it seems like the whole NBA is rooting for Luka now to be the MVP.
He is like the Linsanity but we know Linsanity did not last long, his will stay longer for sure as long as he remains healthy.

[Naida_BR]

Still one day for NBA votes.
Now that the votes count as double Milwaukee has launched a big Greek promotion in order to push the Greeks to keep voting for him in order to make him a captain for a second time in a row. I think that he is going to be on the 1st place again as he totally deserves it.

I'm so excited man! When compared with West, indeed the results of votes obtained by players from East look quite far away. But there is still plenty of time for about 20 more days until voting closes at the end of January.

 Luka and Harden are very different characters and very different backgrounds. Harden is not liked by many many viewers because of how he draws fouls out of nothing at all and how he goes to line more than anyone else in the league most of the time, he is literally called "hitler" in r/NBA subreddit for example and really hated, plus he is from USA and only has a USA backing mainly people who just like him which is a niche but he is talented.

 Doncic on the other hand is just a very young player who is playing amazingly but still playing at the NBA superstar levels even while he is only 20 years old. He also comes from europe so even tho he has an american community voting for him, there is a large voting for him coming from Europe as well. Remember Yao Ming? Dude was good but he got votes double the other players got just because he was from China, same type of idea.

Wow! He did analyzed it quite well. Thumbs up for that.

Yeah, Luka might really take the season MVP now. Harden might even get the 4th spot now.
There is Giannis and then of course Lebron James who is doing quite well with his stats.
Double doubles or triple doubles, the guy could do it.
But so does Luka.
It might go for the battle of votes. How much percentage does that give?

[wheelz1200]

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

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

Luka has now became more popular than Giannis, at least this season

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.

Lol Giannis had his time.  You do know he is young and only scratching the surface of what he can do.  Lula is good yes, but to say ginnie had his time like he is going to start declining now is just silly.  Let's just say both of them are going to be great players and leave it at that.
