2024 NBA Season

[freedomgo]

Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant is back but they got a big loss against Hawks at home. One more time we saw this small rotation would not be enough for Brooklyn this year.
They have to bring more veteran players to make squad stronger. They get almost no help from bench players. I think they need at least 2 good shooters in bench. All work can't be done by starting 5.

At first, I'd admired their good start this season. But after a few games, the same analysis you've made is what we can see for their team. We've thought that they'll be consistent from these few games that they have.

They'll adjust, it was a tough loss but what's important for this team is to be in the playoffs which for sure they can make it. Atlanta Hawks has improved, so we cannot underestimate them, but for sure Nets will bounce back with a big win.

But who do you think will be a good addition to them?

They're good already, they just need to improve the chemistry.

Nice game, Clippers vs Utah Jazz. Seems like Mike Conley is showing his value, he lead this team to win with 33 points and 7/14 shooting from beyond the arc, I thought this guy is over. I hope he will continue to contribute like that, it's needed especially against a championship contender team.

It was an exciting game earlier, Clippers tried to snatch this game.

PG and Kawhai creates a good run but like what you have said Conley did well. He hold the ball and attack getting fouled and make
those important FT, Those crucial 3 point shot form PG really intense it was so close but still Jazz holds and win this game.

I hope you all have a great New Year.
I did.  
Didn't watch any live games but I did spend a lot of time with my family.

Wizards did great despite losing against the Bulls.
But now they proved it. Even without WB they can win.
Twolves lacks the firepower to defeat them. Defining which team had a better trade will be difficult if WB and Wall wont play with regular minutes.
I guess we will need to wait.

What a crazy game was in NBA last night with most of the favorites losing the games or even worse , losing the game at a such higher points difference that makes you look like a college team. Also most of the teams this year are having great players that will make NBA kinda balanced this year with a lot of midfield team having a chance to climb into play-offs ( hawks , kings , suns ... )

Things like these isnt new even the good teams do really have a bad night! Few games doesnt indicate that they would be easily be wiped out by those midfield team that you had mentioned.

Amazed on the win of Wizards without Westbrook. I agree on that word above that why not on letting him rest for more? The team do really able to win without him. Lol

Im bit excited on what would be the next game outcomes for this current season.

Yeah, the Hawks are also a good team. They have a good standing this time.

But who do you think will be a good addition to them?

They're good but an addition would also help them out to be a stronger team. More games to come to them and also their other teammates needed to be discovered.

This post doesn't make any sense because when both Irving and Durant are sidelined for the season Brooklyn Nets as a team are winning games and because they infused their stars suddenly they are losings games. Before Dinwiddie got injured and will be out of the season he was the 5th option for the starting 5 and last season he was a 20 ppg player now he barely makes 7 points, this kind of adjustment for such a quality player is not what you want to see. I know you have 2 stars in the team but it doesn't mean they are the only options for scoring buckets but that is what the Brooklyn Nets did.

Golden State Warriors played a home game against Portland Trail Blazers yesterday. I must admit that I wasn't expecting a game like this. Warriors was demolished by Portland (123-98). On Warriors side, S. Curry got 26 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. On Portland side, Lillard got 34 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists and he was so close to making a double-double. McCollum got 28 points and 4 assists.

Warriors lack of defense is pretty evident, they are not the same warriors anymore, this team has started from the beginning again and I don't know if they'll improve this season or will qualify in the playoffs as they have a lot of games already that they lose by a big margin.

All league is in like they are start from the beginning. One day they win by 30 points and next game they lose by 30 points. This is the strangest start of league I can remember. There are more games that ends with 20 points difference than games that end with 5 points difference. Hopefully after a month things will settle and we will be able to enjoy games more.

You need to look at their stats! They had a terrible 3-point shooting performance, and I think that it is one of the main reasons why the Brooklyn Nets lost this match. Durant and Irving made only 4 of 18 from the 3pt line.

Each player does have bad nights and performances but  this one is notable because if they will able to make those 3's successfully then that would really be a big contribution for the win.

I agree on what ingiltere said about on small rotation which it is really clear that other players arent really playing up their role plus those lots of missed shots in 3 point line.

They do need to enhance it even more and there still lots of time since this is just the beginning of the season.

There's plenty of time to correct their mistakes, we are in the early stage of the regular season, lots of things can happen and lots to be improve. What's important is the nets already have the talent, Durant and Irving are both healthy, they win games, they lose games, normal.. but for sure they'll work harder to be more consistent and lead in the standing in the East, even against the whole team.

Having strong players really is a different story even if they had good players like KD and Irving for me these two players is not a good combination. These two players are scorer and they will just go and shoot into the basket. Well, they could be like to carry the team but without others playing their role then it would be a difficult to win against 5 basketball players working hard together. So, they should let KD and Irving to switch when it needed so that other players could function well and will be able to learn as a team.

What do you mean it doesn't make any sense? When one of Irving and Durant duo choked, that cause them a big loss. Other players had no effect to scoring.

Dinwiddie is not here so you are saying exactly what I say. Brooklyn need more scoring options. They can get a good spot for play-offs but they can't go Conference Finals with this line-up.

You need to look at their stats! They had a terrible 3-point shooting performance, and I think that it is one of the main reasons why the Brooklyn Nets lost this match. Durant and Irving made only 4 of 18 from the 3pt line.

That's what I'm saying. If Nets only rely on Durant and Irving they can't do well in the long run. You don't expect them to win games every time.

The Warriors lose to the other teams in a blow out way where you can see that they are really struggling unlike they were before in the 5 last seasons with Stephen Curry on the court. Now they look like a team having a hard time adjusting their play every time they step on the court. I wonder what their coach is doing with his team struggling at the first 10 games of the season. They should think about the way they play next time because such a blowout loss will change the course of their popularity if they don't do well next game.

Yes, i have no doubt, losing the team's star is a bad thing, but it can make the team stronger in the future.
I hope Morant and Klay will be able to return soon.

Thank you so much, I appreciate the concern, but what my doctor said, I will never return 100% as it was before, anyone who suffers an ACL fracture will never return as it was before, is sad to say things like this 

I can play sports and run without problems, (and I can still dunk lol).
But I am sure that Klay Thompson is in good hands, because the NBA has an excellent structure for players and also that his postoperative went well.

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

^^ And they have the best sports doctor out there, so no doubt that it will help a lot during his rehab and recovery. However, there are athletes that didn't really recover despite in the advancement of sport medicine, maybe everyone react differently.

@yazher - I agree, the Warriors are really a different team now, so they really need a lot of help and hope that Klay will provide that again.

Draymond green once say to Durant that they didn't need him, look at them now, lol.. this man is hilarious, I'm wondering if his stats this season is impressive but I still don't think that them as a team will succeed and will qualify in the playoffs, just too much talent in the west now, they are not that competitive anymore.
