2024 NBA Season

[boltz]

I am looking forward to this game, but a bit sad that it likely will be the end of basketball for this year.

The truth is, yesterday was the best NBA game I've ever watch because Damn! man, we are shouting if the Miami Heat managed to score and laughing if the other team missed to score. We also have a mini prediction game in our local which made us so excited while watching yesterday. I hope they will survive the next game tomorrow because the best of all NBA finals games are the Game 7.

Same for me here. This game 5 was simply amazing and just because of Miami and Jimmy "Buckets" who scored on every opportunity he had leaving no chance for Lakers to comeback or re-take the lead. Even more, Lakers are nothing in the long fight without AD/LJ/DH....

Indeed. Butler is giving it all for the last four games that he is in the court for more than 40 MINS and putting a tremendous worked is absolutely crazy.

Man. The memes with Danny Green and Morris are in everywhere.
Kidding aside, both teams gave us the best game we want to see and let’s hope for another one tomorrow.

Yeah! This guy really trying to put things on his shoulders, he is everywhere, with that minutes of play he gave everything with this last 5 games he really made a name for himself, Way back he's just a supporting cast for DRose, then Another supporting cast for both Embied and Simmons, now, He already established his name as one of the leagues prime star.

Man. The memes with Danny Green and Morris are in everywhere.

Last game 5 we saw stars competes as it was the last game for both of them, we saw Lebron carrying the Lakers while in the other side it's Butler who really fought very well. Hopefully we see the same intensity coming from both teams this coming game 6.

That’s what we are hoping to see tomorrow when we wake up.

Meanwhile, Danny Green reacts to his fiancee experienced in Game 5 “Not Cool” after they both get a death threaths after missing the clutch shot. That draw a line if you’re really a fan of Lakers. Source

I've been talking a good amount of smack about the Heat, but I have to give it to them and Jimmy Butler.  I didn't think they had much of a chance to win one game, let alone two and challenge for the series.  I say "challenge for the series" with a bit of a grain of salt, I do not think that they can win this series but I do think they'll make this next game a good one.  I like the +6 points given as I think LA will end up winning by only a couple points. 

[Emitdama]

I can't believe people are elevating Butler so much and not realizing that he is playing against a 35 and almost 36 year old Lebron who is still dominating the whole game. Obviously Butler is a great player and I understand that he played amazingly, especially since Dragic went down he has played a lot better and took a lot more control of the teams offense and considering he plays an amazing defense as well dude gets tired a lot and still plays till the last second.

However this is Lebron we are talking about, dude is super human, he is still the way league goes and I bet that tonight will be different. He will get that ring and once again show the world that how great he is and how he deserves to be called GOAT by some people, I can understand love for another player but never underestimate a player who people compare to Jordan.

[goinmerry]

Too much criticism for Danny Green. What if he nailed that shot? He will become a hero and the criticism will go to LeBron.

Green will now be added to the list of players that saves LeBron's legacy lol.

Some people are pissed-off but sending them death threats is way too far.

Fans and so-called experts and analysts are crossing the lines. Both teams show amazing performance. That's the kind of game that everyone is waiting for in the Finals. Hope to see a close game again.

He really don’t deserve it for missing a basketball shot.

Those sport fans don’t deserve sport as if they don’t do something bad as well that take the missing shot way too far.

After that missed clutch shot. I hope Danny Green redeem himself tonight.

We know on whats the reality on this world where people do easily judge out and didnt even rethink that mistakes do happen.Bashes and criticism would really be there
specially its a crucial moment for that last moment shot and if you are a Lakers fan or a bettor that did put up some bets on them then you will surely rage on why
the heck Green didnt really able to make that shot and close the game? 

[jossiel]

It's the funny clutch game. I remember when Lebron has ditch Jr Smith for a finals game, I wonder if Lebron has done the same but inside the lockers. That's a winning shot but a lose is a lose.

Don't forget Green's missed wide open three. Both of them failed to end the series with the Mamba jersey. But Morris really did a worse thing there to be honest lol .

But kidding aside, past is past. Even if James blame Morris and mock him a hundred times, nothing will change. That's life, mistakes are inevitable it's jjst so unfortunate for them that it happened in crucial times. Nonetheless, they should move on now and continue making strategies on how to stop Butler and the rest of Heat.

I guess Lakers made a wrong decision, they should have inserted J.R. Smith in the game instead of Morris, so if JR Smith grab that offensive rebound, he will just run away until the clock expires. hahaha

What happen has already happen, they have move on for sure, but honestly I'm expecting JR smith to somehow gain some minutes.

Hahaha. Those are just hilarious moments and at the same time, bad beats for Lakers. As a fan, I just remember those moments as it became a meme material for basketball pages on social medias and they just want to have fun instead of being disappointed.

Ball game a few hours from now.

We'll see if this is the final or we'll see if it will be extended again.

[rdbase]

I do think heat will make a series out of it now seeing how much heart they showed in the last game.
Butler does want to win this thing even though he is against enormous odds and lakers getting embrarassed with such bad play.
You can expect them to come out guns ablazing and try to tie up this thing to make it to game seven.

Only few more hours left until the game 6!! I said that I believe Miami can make Lakers work and so they did, now I'm saying and hoping that they can take this from Lakers. Davies with injury issues , Dragic coming back for Miami, it can happen. Lets go Heat!!!

Davis is fine, check his latest update https://www.rotoworld.com/basketball/nba/player/29801/anthony-davis

Anthony Davis (right heel contusion) is listed as probable for Sunday's game vs. the Heat.
Davis said Saturday afternoon that he'll be fine for Game 6, and he was listed as probable on the final official injury report of the day. He'll take on his usual workload, playing through the pain as the Lakers look to wrap up the series.

Dragic coming back for Miami, it can happen. Lets go Heat!!!

I don't see where you get this information that he is coming back, made some research and report says he will not be available on today's game.

I didn't say he won't play, I said he has issues and even though he will play he will feel that heel   Which I consider a significant thing.

Also I didn't say Dragic will play in game 6, I said he is coming back, I red that on Croatian sports site. He will play in game 7 though, he is coming back

Davis seems to be 100% per report, according to what I read, Lakers will be going small in this game to match the Heat starting line up, the game could be in fast pace but I would not expect that since this is a do or die game, let's just say for both as they would certainly think the same even the Lakers who already had the advantage in the series.  Hopefully Danny Green and Morris will made up their mistakes in game 5.

30 minutes only and we will see the game 6. EXCITED!

I guess they are starting Caruso tonight.
Their starting 5 will be.
PG : Caruso
SG : KCP
SF : Danny Green
PF : LBJ
Center : AD
and Lebron said he'll be guarding Jimmy for the rest of the game.
I don't know but I kinda feel excited for what the Lakers are planning for this line up adjustments.
This is going to be a head to head duel from Jimmy and Lebron.

To be honest, I am also thinking about that but after reading this thread, I started doubting and having thoughts of how I am risking so much money in sites so instead I will just bet against my friends and have fun with that. Atleast, I can have some trash talks while I'm at it and have someone to talk to even if I lost or I won.

The the discussion in the site is about safe bets based on its odds, not the risk that you might lose your money in a site. Gambling with your friends will prevent you from paying the juice good for you but I suggest to take a look at the betting odds so you'll have a good idea on which team is favorites and what is the point spread. 

you can read;

Still, that puts me in doubt so I kind of having these second thoughts. Kind of afraid that something might happen again the reason I'm kind of putting a distance to it but thank you for that recommendation though, I will read that.

Sorry but I am not betting on sites, I am just betting with my friend, we bet on each other. If he picks something that I think would win I do some +2 or +3 on the scores. This time there are no additions since he just bluntly told me that Lakers would win. Bit scared at first since they are wearing the Mamba uniform but they still won.

We also did the same here, but just straight up bets, with no plus or minus. Just a friendly bet though, two sets of office mates setup. Just $10 each, unfortunately, I did choose the Lakers side the last time and lost the bet. Yes, that's the main reason why I bet on Lakers because that Mamba jersey hasn't lost when Lakers wore them, unfortunately, Heat won.

And now I'm on the Miami side, Lol, I'm just thinking that they have all the momentum going on Game 6, just my opinion. And if you look at sport bookies the ML is also attractive, so I'm still thinking of I'm going to bet or not.

I guess we are in a different team now though. My friend also thought that Miami Heat could still win this next game and he bet on it. Right now I am betting on LA Lakers and I am kind of confident that this would be the end of this Finals. Good luck with us both though.

Davis can't play well the reason that the bench needed to play well for the team to win. Lebron can't just do all of the things right now and usually, if he focus on doing the points, he can't make good plays the reason he needs Rondo and Caruso for that. KCP, Howard and Kuzma for doing some points and also other players for doing great defense.

[NotATether]

Any news about whether AD will play in Game 6?

With only 10 minutes to go, it's important for him to show up if the Lakers want to win this game, otherwise we could see a repeat of Game 5 where Heat will win by a small margin.

He almost got suspended from Game 6 for hitting someone in the face. AD only narrowly evaded that.

[agustina2]

Any news about whether AD will play in Game 6?

Anthony Davis will play on Game 6.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Anthony Davis (heel) will play in Game 6

He has an injury but the superstar said he can manage.
