2024 NBA Season

^^ 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.

Klay can't provide that again because he is out for the whole season, this season to be exact. If they have Klay, things could be different, maybe they are a little more competitive as you know, splash brothers are the best offensive team up in the NBA. For now, let's just leave KT, he can rest and be ready for next season, this season is more like getting the chemistry they needed because only 2 is the original starters of the GSW that are playing now.

That's correct and that's according to https://www.rotoworld.com/basketball/nba/player/29691/klay-thompson

Thompson is expected to make a full recovery, but he will miss the entire 2020-21 season and his absence could extend well into the 2021-20 season.

Worst if it will be extended for the next season after the present season, Thompson surely miss playing and he wants to help his team, but it's just unfortunately he was injured even before the pre season begins. Damn, really miss him splashing 3s, things could be easier for this team.

I think it could be reasonable to expect Golden State Warriors to win versus Pacers even without Klay Thompson, because Pacers is also going to play without T. J. Warren so both sides are going to be balanced. The Pacers were really good so far this season with him until he got injured. Then even Knicks was able to get an edge over them even though Pacers demolished them just a few games ago.

Last time they met, I don't think Thompson or Curry were even playing that match, and they beat GSW by a close call. This match I think the result will also be a close call, so Handicap bets look attractive here, and also Under points markets (assuming the sportsbooks somehow are not taking their injuries to consideration).

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.

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 are not as popular as before, their fans are moving to Lakers or Clippers, lol.. Curry is great, no question about that, but the players that surround him are still young and no experience in playoffs, so we really can't expect they'll win against an experience team.

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. 

I'm sure they are doing that, but if there team is not really that good, there's nothing they can do but just to play their best and hope to win.

Correct. Damn, I hope he could go back much earlier.

They actually look like a new team to me.
Not the Golden State Warriors that we know.
Maybe when Klay comes back then we could see that same spark again.
They are 2wins and 3losses. Not bad for a team that had been missing a lot of players and of course the chemistry.

[jademaxsuy]

What do you think Miami team guys. Do you think the rookie players like hero and robinson will to improve and show more of their capabilities? I was thinking that maybe because of these two rookies they will be able beat team like lakers despite the Lebron and Davis tandem which is very hard to guard and can do offensively. If not only with lakers in the last season probably they can win a championship title last season.

Obviously the team is built around Steph and Klay. Without Klay their offense just doesn’t work. Draymond’s skills are nearly useless without shooters on both wings. Wiggins doesn’t shoot a high enough % to carry a team. Wiseman has looked promising but he’s too young to make a massive impact. With even Chriss going out with an injury now it looks like it’s going to be another throwaway season for the dubs. Maybe they’ll get another top draft pick and be back to building another dynasty when Klay returns.

I doubt that you could have a tanking season with a player like Curry on your team, he alone could get some wins. Plus remember how Lebron carried a team that would probably be league last into finals all by his talents, I am not saying Curry is as good as Lebron because he isn't but also their styles are different, but I also think Curry is good enough to bring them to nearly playoff levels if not into playoffs all by his own talent.

Team is definitely built around Klay and Curry but even with only Curry on the team they are not suddenly horrible, they will need some adjustment because they are so used to being awesome, but I am sure they will get into rhythm soon and will get better too. Curry got them so many games in the past, even all alone but even with other players on the field, he was the only one playing good at times, so I still believe in him.

Sure, their current result(2-3) is looking not bad for such a weakened team, but they will play against Portland Blazers in the next match again, and I'm expecting that the Warriors will get another defeat by 20/25 points.

That's too easy, Warriors not gonna let that happened again, they might win tonight, and if they loss against the Blazers, I guess it will be a close game, just my thoughts, I hope I'm right. 

[redhack]

It's better if Warriors tank this season. They have no play-off chance anyway.

You've gotta remember that Curry sat out nearly an entire season with a broken hand, then came back to barely play before the quarantine situation happened.  Then with the Warriors not being invited to the bubble...  Steph has hardly played any basketball for the last 2 years.  He's rusty, and probably having some endurance issues.  I doubt we'll see him playing at his former level until next season.  Sure, he'll put up some good numbers still, but I don't think he's going to have what it takes to lead them to the playoffs.  Especially with the way Wiggins and Oubre are playing.

I just read that Harden wants to be traded to Nets to join the "dream team" that they're having there, however, the chances are kinda slight to none as Nets don't want him and Houston cannot hold him anymore so it will be funny to watch where Harden will finally go. In my opinion it might be a team that doesn't fight for the play-offs...

Harden's decision might change because the Rockets is playing well so far, John wall had a 2-0 start this season and I hope Harden appreciate that, take John Wall as a teammate not a competitor, if he is looking for a good team, I think it's already here as even the young guns of the Rockets are performing beyond expectation, Christian Wood has been a key for their success also.

It was an awful moment for both Houston and Harden.

If he won't play that hard then for sure this team will be out of this season as early as expected. They needed to settle this or trade him, for me Sixers will be a better destination for him if they can offer good compensation or a good deal for both parties.

Looks like the Lakers got their 3rd straight win with Memphis, Do you think they are already synchronizing to each other when they play on the court now? It seems like everything was going well for them this season. just look at the score.

I read that yesterday too and I saw a lot of reactions from different people including his former coach Mike D'Antoni.
It might also be the reason why the trade will not happen anymore.

I heard that Brooklyn cooled of on Harden and one reason was D’Antoni, they were like ‘were good, lets keep what we have here, Harden presents some problems,’” Simmons said.

Bad start but they are now getting some progress with their chemistry.
Lebron and AD are just too much to handle.

Curry got a new career high with 62 points and it helped to win against  the Blazers who dominated them in their previous game.
Wow!, Curry is really back, his shooting is very precise and when he has a hot hands, it keeps going and going and in this game, he was really unstoppable.

He broke Klay's record, and Klay is happy, there's a positive competition between the two, they are even competitors in the 3 point contest in all star, so you can really tell they form that bond and they are close.

I was watched the game and I saw the old Curry, he was shooting 3 point effortlessly, and it sunk most of the time.

Blazers were good but they had no answer on Curry, and this is a big win after they loss by over 20 points.
