2024 NBA Season

[Mahanton]

The remaining games of the season was handled very well and from what I understand it was success without any more cases from the pandemic.
I just wonder when the next season will start as they will need to adjust in the coming year because the players are going home now and are released from the bubble to protect the players and others from getting covid.

That will be a question on when it would be set if they would start it a little too soon or would wait up for some vaccine to go back into normal.
At least the entire organization did try to resume out in spite of the current situation we do had and its good that they do able to maintain it
upto the end of the season which is can say that its a good job on their side.In spite of hardship but still we do able to see a good season
even though it is totally different from the normal days.

Btw, Congratulations to Lakers and they had really done well on closing out the series. Lebron is unstoppable.!

[Fredomago]

Congratulations to the Lakers, they played phenomenally from the start. Deserving this victory and title, LeBron continues to break records and raise this sport to a higher level. The man was amazing almost every game while the other "stars" played well every second or third, I'm glad the Lakers are champions, I wish them luck.

I like his discipline for the game. Work ethics.
He didn't miss a playoff game. I think that is one hell of a record that is difficult to break.
His injuries are not that bad too. He continues to keep his body healthy even now.
It's just difficult to do that especially if you have lots of money already. 

It just shows how he loves basketball so much. Just like Kobe and MJ. They put everything into it.

He deserves that recognition, He continuously played the game with good physical and mind shapes. Knowing that with his age and wealth he can just relax and those new rising stars.

But he still shows that he still have the throne after this another ring that he got, maybe not his prime anymore but the leadership and the dedication was still there for him.

Congrats to the him and the rest of LA Lakers, might seen few more years for LBJ.

While I'm looking at one picture of Butler sitting and just head down with disappointment, I feel the guy. He has done his best and made the series long and he's one of the best contributor to the team. Just the last game he didn't scored that much just as his normal game play.
Mad respect to this boy.

I didn't know how but the Lakers shut down Herro and Butler at this game, even Robinson and Dragic can't do their thing with the defense of the LA Lakers then continuing to widen the score gap as they make quick attacks with Rondo, Caruso, Lebron, AD, and KCP on the court, Lakers just proved how great they are in defense and in the offense.

That was some air tight defense from the Lakers. Not only they have the two best players in the league, they also have the best defensive minded players that hustles every defensive plays. Big props to Rondo, Caruso, D.Howard, KCP, Green and Morris for their great defensive effort.
I just felt sad for Danny Green who struggles to find his rythm from beyond the arc, disregarding how good he was in the defensive end. Not everyone noticed it why coach Vogel put Danny on the starting five despite of his poor 3pt shooting throughout the whole post season.

On the other hand, mad props for the underdog Heat, specially Butler who have had his best year of his career. Herro who just had broke records among the rookies, and the rest of the Heat squad.
I'm also thankful for them as I won a +2 game win personal bet with my workmates lol.

[FlightyPouch]

I'm also thankful for them as I won a +2 game win personal bet with my workmates lol.

Congratulations to LA, to Miami, and to you bro. I guess even if they increase it to +10 you will still win. I did win my bet too with my friend thinking that the game will be stretched to game 7 to "excite" the fans and extend the viewership, well, it is not bound to happen knowing how LA Lakers wanted to take the Finals so bad. Congratulations too to the MVP, Lebron, I don't know why he still receives the same hate but this guy is just amazing.

First of all, I like to congratulate the NBA organization for organizing the bubble setup properly. Without the efforts of the whole organization, we won't see a successful resume of the season. Their setup also inspires other basketball leagues in different countries. Although the overall ratings are not that good, we all know that it's because of an "obvious reason".

For those saying that the Los Angeles Lakers have an easy path to win a championship this season, that was a big slap for those teams who aggressively fight for their respective spot during the elimination to playoffs. We saw big efforts, perseverance, and positivity on every team.

Congrats Los Angeles Lakers
Congrats Miami Heat (which I think will be one of the deadly team in the East next season if they able to maintain and improve their roster)
Congrats NBA
Congrats Bettors

And lastly, Dallas Mavericks will be the champion next season.

Dallas Mavericks vs. Denver Nuggets next season in West.  
If that happens, damn! I don't know which team I will bet for. My emotions will be in the way.

Yeah, NBA had done so much for the fans.
We are entertained right? Then, players can still have their salaries and so does the personnel behind it.
Their families will be happy it did continue.

We also saw how different it is when there is no crowd on the floor.
Perhaps it will change if everything goes back to normal. But I doubt that, for now.

[boyptc]

This is a great fight even though we all know that the Lakers has a high chance of winning we didn't expected that the Miami Heat will be able to reach game 6 which is still pretty amazing even though they lose the playoffs still a huge compliment to their team and also for Jimmy Butler.

What are you saying?

Miami lost the playoffs?

Miami and Lakers just ended the finals yesterday. Lakers won.

All sports stop during the pandemic, but we have somewhat embrace this new norm and NBA make it sure that we are still going to see basketball despite the situation. I'll go with Dallas next season in the west .

This is an example of a post which is clearly telling that this guy doesnt even know on what he's saying and just trying to post up on topics and speaking of playoffs.You would really look dumb on mentioning that

He wont be put up in starting 5 if theres no reason and youre right and everybody do really able to notice that Green doesnt really have a good success rate when it comes to 3 point area but still he do able to
contribute somewhat in game 6.

We've seen how ineffective DeRozan in Spurs, so let me ask you, which team do you think DeMar DeRozan would fit?

5 intriguing trade destinations for Spurs guard DeMar DeRozan

San Antonio Spurs guard DeMar DeRozan has a player option on his contract this offseason, which he’ll need to address. But even if DeRozan exercises the option, he may not play for the Spurs next season.

DeRozan can opt-in to the final year of his contract, which would pay him $27 million for the 2020-21 season. But his tenure in San Antonio has seemingly fallen flat.

DeRozan, of course, was part of the return in the Kawhi Leonard trade to Toronto, at a time when the Spurs’ fan base was particularly angry at the entire situation.

DeRozan is 31, and even if he opts into his contract, he’s still just one year away from free agency.

Also, the elephant in the room is the fact that the Spurs missed the playoffs for the first time in 22 years. Their offseason plan is unclear, but it’s feasible that changes could be on the horizon.

Let’s take a look at five intriguing trade destinations for DeRozan, should he opt-in to his contract.

Mad respect to this boy.

I think this could be one of the memorable NBA finals we had, I mean we have the pandemic, no fans, other basketball players doesn't want to play because of the threat of the virus but eventually the games resumes. And then Butler leads the Heat to the finals, produce one of the best performance of his career, down 3-1. So you can understand the disappointment of him sitting down and probably thinking he can do more in the series.

But Lakers offense and specially their defense was on the dot that night. You can really see how the Heat have difficult time in the first quarter to score because of the air tight defense.

They really need to trade him and build their team to become competitive in the playoffs again since it is not really normal when they failed to catch up in the playoff trees. we are talking about the Spurs here man, I think they should really consider looking through the available star players for trade to get back on track. it's just Derozan doesn't fit on that team.

[freedomgo]

Wit the degrading performance of DeRozan in the last two seasons with the Spurs, I doubt, Spurs will get a stars in return, maybe they could get a bunch of players but not a star level. His style of play does not fit with the spurs, or maybe he is not only happy playing with the Spurs.

We will see some news and I'm expecting one from DeRozan before the next season, I'd like to see coach Pop retiring having a success in the playoffs, as that would give more plus on his legacy in the Spurs.

According to the article, it was stated the 5 destination, here are as follows.

1. Charlotte Hornets
2. Miami Heat
3. Chicago Bulls
4. Sacramento Kings
5. Toronto Raptors

In the list above, I think I like to see him playing with the Miami Heat because they need some improvement and he could fit with the team. Of course not to the expense of Butler, but if both teams will agree Miami could send the young players and get an experience  DeMar DeRozan, it could be a win-win for both teams IMO.

He probably watches the games but wasn't aware that the bubble season has just ended and didn't read what everyone's talking about.

What everyone is telling and congratulating the champ.

"Respect"
The word that should be in these two teams. What a great series of NBA 2020! I thought at first NBA was postponed to have this season because of pandemic. Until the playoffs, I can get over how Miami done it. Respect for both teams because they gave a lot of sacrifices and determination just to step in finals. We thought that it ended in 4-1 standing yet Miami extended it. They just showed that they can beat LA but their strength is not enough to endure the thirst of Lebron James. It seems like he wanted to bring back the championship to LA as he became aggressive for the final round.

Congratulations LA fans and bettors!

Yeah, one more season entering the playoffs.
But, it may be in the bubble again.

DeRozan.
Hmmm.
I remember the Knicks management rebuilding with young players.
Maybe DeRozan could fit there to give some veteran tips to these young guys.
Playoff experience and of course he is once a star too.

I doubt Raptors will get him back and also Heat since they might just improve their players for next season.

[ChiBitCTy]

So how are you guys feeling about next years odds?  I am not surprised that the Lakers sit at the top, as I'm sure Anthony Davis and much of the team will be back.  I was a bit surprised to see the Golden State Warriors so low on the list.  I would think if they have everyone back and healthy, they will easily be competing for the title.  Regardless, it's great to have a much more even playing field back in the NBA , almost like never before ( at least any time recently ).

Mad respect to this boy.

Butler really gave it his all. We can really see the determination in Game 5 when he freakingly played for 45 MINS++++. You have got to really admire that hustle. It was just surprising that Game 6 was a blow out even though Dragic was told to be Active. I guess Lakers is the better team to really want to have it so bad (FOR KOBE!). All we can do now is wait for the trades in this end of playoffs and see which team can take it to the next level.
