2024 NBA Season

Don't count out Philly as well, right now they are very inconsistent, but I'm sure that when playoff comes, they are going to be a different team. Of course defending champ Raptors and the newly build Celtics are also going to contend in the east.

No offense mate but for me Philadelphia will not make it as same as Pacers and Heat despite of their good standing at his very moment. Yeah they are good teams but for me they're not as solid as Celtics or Raptors. But who knows? Everything is possible especially that they're close against each other. So I think this will be a battle of accuracy, one wrong move and you will fall behind . I love this kind of crucial situations, it excites me.

have you seen the game between the Nuggets vs GSW.

That was indeed a thrilling game, Warriors are controlling the game in the 1st half but the Nuggets had a strong rally in the 3rd quarter and it was a close 4th quarter so the game went into OT.

I thought my DENVER -3.5 would win, but it didn't.. what a good game but I am not lucky to win.

There's a reason why that line was dropping, that attract a lot of bettors as the Warriors are a shitty team who are only +3.5 against the Nuggets.
IIRC, the line opened at -7 or -7.5 and it dropped that low, that should be so fishy, an experience gambler would not even touch that or bet on the Warriors as they seem to have a little chance to cover..

with that loss, warriors extend to 10 losing streak.

Although they have been stopped last night by Pelicans, I think Utah Jazz are one of the coolest teams in this moment of the season. Great team, great chemistry, great and pretty balanced squad. I really like them and I hope they will get into the playoffs. Maybe with the chance to even go beyond second round. Who knows what they're capable of.

Yep they are playing some good basketball, despite their highest paid player being unavailable.
Utah Jazz will certainly go into playoff, but I seriously doubt that they are capable of going beyond 2nd round(personally I think even that would be success).

To go beyond 2nd round means beating most likely Clippers/Nuggets (Lakers will probably finish regular season as 1st) and for that they would need too play much better, especially Conley. And add more bench players, without that they might even end playoff in the first round.

Who can stop Giannis?
He is keep rolling with amazing plays and performances something that I didn't expect happening when the season started.

That was the same impression of him last year. Also, the reason why he got the Season MVP title. But ended up eliminated in Eastern Conference Finals even they are up by 2 wins on their first 2 games. His dominance was able to stop even how monster he is prior to ECF and I think the majority was surprised.

We might have seen an unstoppable Giannis today, as usual, but I want to see him maintain that dominance up to the finals.

Now, who can stop Giannis? Let's see on playoffs.

Just like the previous season, Giannis seemed to be unstoppable but the raptors stopped the seemingly unstoppable Bucks. Now, it's too early to say that Giannis is unstoppable not unless if he can prove that he can carry his team to the top.

It is great to be a star of the team but I hope he don't grow as a one man team. I really supported him even before Kobe acknowledged him, now people are looking at Doncic, and Caruso. Still, I support Giannis and his team now. Also, what do you think about Caruso and Zion these season?

with that loss, warriors extend to 10 losing streak.

That's bad, 10 losing streak for the warriors while 10 winning streak for the Jazz which was snap by the Pelicans, maybe warriors will can stop that bleeding if they will try hard enough next game. Longest win streak active thus far is bucks with 5 wins in a row, while warriors lead the losing streak ranking.

Denver was up by 3 after the game so your -3.5 was a loss. I think it's better to bet on a much bigger handicap than this one. Anyways, Denver has a good system that even without a superstar they can still manage to get a win.

Call me crazy but I think the Magic can pull off another big upset tonight against LAC. I think they do cover the +11 but for some value I am taking them at the ML in a two team parlay with the Pels to cover the +5.

Honestly that is a decent bet for the odds you are getting.  The magic play tough and if the clips are off I think magic can beat them tonight.  I like the pels tonight too.  I might piggyback off your bet seems as though it's getting real good odds, good luck to you.

Games are over, Pelicans won in OT against the streaking Jazz and they stop the Jazz winning streak.
While on the other game, magic did not cover the spread and it ends the Clippers winning over 27 points, that's too easy for the Clippers.


How about let's talk about the upcoming games.  I found good ones in my list.

MIAMI vs Thunder.
Portland vs Dallas.

[Captain Corporate]

 I would say Dallas over Portland and Miami over OKC. I don't know the spread so I am purely talking about money line here, I already mentioned I liked betting money line over handicap before because handicap is not something thats easy to guess in basketball, sure it gives much better odds but thats just too much of an unknown to continue for me. Miami has been a great team in the season so far and they have nothing to stop for now, OKC has been "good" in the sense that better than expected but they are not as good as Miami for sure. At least it will be fun because both teams play better than expected at the start of the season. Dallas over Portland because for some reason Portland has been very bad this year, they went to conference finals last year, thats not something anyone expected of them, after one year of overachieving their stands, they managed to play bad enough to be out of playoff picture, Dallas has been replacing them very well as well as new Portland, so I assume Dallas will get it.

[cabalism13]

I would say Dallas over Portland and Miami over OKC.

Also got the same for Miami, but for the Dallas, I might not be in favor with it, as you can see even though the Dallas has many wins compared to them, their plays are not that bad so for me they can also win the thing.

How about let's talk about the upcoming games.  I found good ones in my list.
MIAMI vs Thunder.

I really find this an obvious one just like whatever matches that might came for Lakers this season.

[el kaka22]

Everyone forgets to talk about the impending return of Mike Conley and what will happen when he returns. I mean I get that dude is a great player but without him Utah went on a crazy streak, they have a much better chemistry and strategy when he is out of the game versus when he is playing. When you have a player like Conley you have to play him and you have to give him the ball which makes the ball stop way too much and their system to crumble.

So, when Conley returns they have to figure out a way to both implement him to the game but also do not lose the system they have been playing without him at the same time. That will be a huge challenge for the coaching team and also hard to adjust for the players as well, specially Conley and Ingles because they will be the both that get affected by it.

Give me Dallas all day against portland.  Portland struggles against good teams and I think dallas should be able to score at will against them.  Only shot portland has is if dame time goes for one of those 40-50 point outbursts.

If you are in Miami Heat, yes, you should pick Moneyline. Not with the odds (although there isn't much difference in Handicap and ML odds) but the spread is quite risky to take as this team is almost an equal and match. The same goes for Oklahoma City Thunders.

If you are in Dallas, ignore that Moneyline since it's not worth it unless you will put a decent amount.  Instead, take the handicap. But take note, both handicaps given to Mavs and Blazers do have a chance to cover so it will now be based on who is your favorite. Blazers' Melo, Lillard and McCollum are making good averages on their last 10 games, win or loss. I'm seeing Mavericks will win here but Blazers might cover the spread. Or if you are confused, skip this game.

Most probably Dallas will dominate Portland since they are much superior team than the later. I think if basketball God's will not favor the blazers then it's blowout game by Dallas.

Dallas mavs and blazers game would actually be a good play to bang the over.  Portland is gonna come out gunning but their defense is terrible against teams like dallas.  I see dallas 125-110 win in this one

[Reid]

Looks like I managed to jinx Utah Jazz by mentioning their 10 wins in a row and good form the other day, they lost last night. Pelicans beat them 138-132 after overtime.

It was fun game to watch, Brandon Ingram scored career-high 49 points and lead Pelicans to victory. Mitchell had great game too, scoring 46 but that simply wasn't enough. As usual Jazz had crappy bench, except Clarkson all others were thrash, while Pelicans bench did their job.

It will be interesting to see Zion coming back, as this team definitely has some talent.

The hell!!!
They can win against strong teams and now Pelicans can beat them.
What the heck is with this kids of the young Pelicans defeating strong teams but cannot even win against low seeds. 
How much was the money line in that game? I really missed that.

Tomorrow will be Utah against the Sacramento Kings.
If they feel devastated after losing that streak this could be a win for the Kings. +395 on the money line.

I thought my DENVER -3.5 would win, but it didn't.. what a good game but I am not lucky to win.

Have you ever tried to wonder how they could predict that handicap?  
They are really good right? How could they see the future.
That was a 3 point lead for the Nuggets win but bettors still lose against GSW. It was just really amazing how they do that.
.5 made the GSW win.

Yes, something like that. A lot of gamblers may have lose a lot of money here.

I'm confused with this young bloods even when they're still in LA. They seems to have a very bright future in their basketball career but IMO what they lack before is the offensive consistency which they are slowly couping up this season. Ingram is now becoming a legitimate superstar, while Ball still working on consistency and efficiency.

Tomorrow will be Utah against the Sacramento Kings.
If they feel devastated after losing that streak this could be a win for the Kings. +395 on the money line.

Most likely to happen Kings is capable of beating above .500 teams. So, If you're feeling lucky, go grab it lol

Put in bold the main need of this team.
They are young though. There is still something ahead of them.
I would not let go of this kind of players specially Ingram. Although he had a bad habit of being a hot headed guy (youngsters are all hot-blooded)
he had the feat and physicality of being a great player.
This is like a Durant height and reach. If he could manage to perfect his shooting style then it could be his greatest asset.

Tomorrow will be Utah against the Sacramento Kings.

Thanks, I just did. I hope I can win this time.
