2024 NBA Season

[Ranly123]

I am putting my little money for the OKC to win, at least double digit, so I would look line to increase the odds, probably, win by 11+ points or 6+/

Very disappointed in this bet, I was thinking that OKC could easily handle the Lakers without James and I actually put my bet when Lebron was not announce not available, so I got a good line. I will still bet on them in their next game, Lakers are just lucky and maybe OKC was just too complacent.

They really got too complacent that they are almost not defending. The Lakers scoring 125 points without LeBron is the testament that OKC is not playing defense against them. Also a big night for Kuzma  to lead the win though.

One of the best game of Kuzma or probably his best game this season (without Lebron).

Please don't forget about how Rondo started it, he almost tally a triple double in the game, he was just short by 2 assists. (12 rebounds, 21 points, 8 assists). Their potential was displayed because Lebron was not on the floor, but if he will come back again which will come back soon, their back with their regular stats.

Yeah, we did loss but it was pretty entertaining.
Watching the Lakers make some good plays even without Lebron.
That is something different to see.
Kuzma and Rondo both made a great offense and the bench also with good contributions.

Glad to see Cook using his shooting and also Caruso.
It will be a better Lakers if they will rotate them more.

I did not watch the game but the highlights only. I am glad that Kuzma was able to step up when the main men are not around. If given a chance, he can elevate his game to help the team. This is a good win for the Lakers.

He's really a scoring type of player and giving him the time and exposures he will never disappoint you. Without LeBron and AD Lakers will find
someone to score for them, though he's not the only one as Rondo also prove something here and with the team efforts they've survived this
match without their superstars around them.

You can really see the teamwork in spite of having no main players on the team.Kuzma does really have the potential where he can play and scores without hesitation.Give this guy more minutes on the court per play will surely enhance his plays even more and possibly would be Lakers starter player.As I have read up why Lebron not able to play due to illness (flu-like) but somewhat the rest of the team manage to win against OKC.
Its actually entertaining imho.

Let's be honest Lakers won without Lebron or AD but at the same time if they didn't had Lebron or AD they would be around the playoff fight right now at most and wouldn't be this high up. Sure they beat a very hot streak OKC but that was due to players having their best games like Kuzma and Rondo (rondo probably circled this on the calendar as "lets kick CP3's ass" game as well).

Hopefully Lebron gets better very quickly, it was just a simple cold he had but sometimes that takes away of your conditioning like hell, remember the last time you had fever and then think about being required to run and play like that, if I were Lakers I would just keep Lebron to a rest for at least a week to not really risk anything further, plus it would make him happy as well to spend time with his kids and all.

To be honest, I really think that Lakers would go down at Chesapeake arena. Yet they managed to get the W off that game. OKC has a lineup that is complete and they even managed to defeat the Houston Rockets. And on the other hand, Lakers isn't complete on the absence of Anthony Davis. But at least, Kuzma did a great way to help the team to victory. Got his career high this season in score. I'm kinda wondering if the Lakers will still consider trading him. I think it's not really worth it. Kuz is a player that could give you overall stats.

A little highlight of Rondo on that game being the floor general. https://www.facebook.com/ClutchPoints/videos/638075413689149/UzpfSTUxOTM1NTU2ODEzMDUyMToyODMwMTM4MTIzNzE4OTA5/

This!!! 
I have that thoughts since I watched that clip where Rondo was mistaken for CP3 while buying shoes.
(sorry I dont have the link anymore and I cannot see it even while digging) 
He got really mad.

CP3 got his revenge against the Houston Rockets and now Rondo got his own. What a nice rivalry. They make entertainment better.

I think the fans is just trolling Rondo, but you can look at his response.

Love the rivalry between the two, Lol. I don't know where the beef started but it looks like personal though.

Right, I was impressed by Kuzma is this game, one on one, outside 3's, floater. Maybe his name has pop up as potential in the trading that's why he is showing the Lakers management what they are about to lose if they decided to let him go.

Rondo take care and the general in the first quarter and that's what it takes for them to get a huge lead and never give it back. Although OKC try to rally, but it was not enough.

That was funny. 
His reaction is unique.
Those fans do have the courage to do it. Thumbs up for them. That is scary just thinking about doing it. 

It was who should be the best pointguard and it was also because of the USA team before where Rondo didn't accept it.
After that, the two are really intense when they play with each other.
I still remember the spit. 

No doubt CP3 is the best but Rondo had his times too. Both did great contributions. I don't think there is a need to rank them.

You found it!! Thank you.
I still have some merits to spare so I will give one for you. Thanks for the effort.

Being the best may sound personal but I don't think so.
They are just aiming to be the number 1 point guard in the league so I think they will really bump into each other about that.
Rondo could be boasting his championship ring which Paul doesn't have. That will hurt him.
But CP3 could come back with 2 olympic gold medals which Rondo doesn't have.

CP3 is overall a better, more complex point guard but you know who will be remembered by the history? Rondo, cause he has a ring and three league finals. CP3, no matter how exciting player he was and he stil is, never got near to this stage.

One ring and three finals vs one conference finals. That's how you can sum it up. At least in the most measurable way.

What matters here is the ring actually and Paul could have get his first ring if he wasn't injured during the Warriors vs Rockets finals, things are really bad for him, it was him who really carry the Rockets to the West Finals because of his intelligent plays, hope he will get a ring before he retires but definitely it's not gonna happen with the current OKC line up.

Who knows? They are getting better each game.
They have 4 wins differential against the number 8 in the West which is the Grizzlies.

They might have a chance if they will face the Utah Jazz or the Nuggets in the playoffs.
We cannot still say who wins when the battle intensifies in the playoffs.

I hope it will be Jazz though. I dont want them facing my favorite Nuggets. 
But they do have a chance with what they are showing now.

There has been always something wrong with CP3 during his career. It's a big shame because he's not only a fine, humble person but the real magician as well. Nevertheless, his current contract practically take away from him a chance for a championship team. $44.2 million at the age of 36?

Yeah. I really like the improvement of Kyle Kuzma since the first time he joined the league. Like there's no way he's gonna be the face of Puma without a talent. I really hope that he could be a superstar caliber player just like LeBron and AD.

Rondo take care and the general in the first quarter and that's what it takes for them to get a huge lead and never give it back. Although OKC try to rally, but it was not enough.

Well, that's what Rondo is. He can get the team ahead by commanding them and also giving them some flash passes.

You got a point about this comparison with Rondo and cp3 but for me, even without a championship run nor an NBA finals appearance cp3 still one of the best point guard in the league. No doubt, if only he has a reliable teammates that's hungry for a championship and not for personal records, he will surely have his own ring too.

Maybe it's time for them to experiment to put Rondo in the starting line up and be the PG instead of James, do you think that would work?
