2024 NBA Season

[Oasisman]

I guess Ty Lue is about to get fired again. They already had a couple of a very bad losses this season, and had the worst record in a halftime deficit. I guess everyone was right about how the Clippers was built, just to beat the Lakers, in the opening night lol.
While on the other hand, Steph Curry is looking great early this season. His game is slowly becoming mature as he is attempting to carry his team on his back with Klay out of for the season.

Ty Lue won't be fired, Clippers still have a good record despite of the loses, not a good a idea to fire him for now, they just have to learn and learn until their team matures and will be consistent especially when they are in a big lead, I believe the guys playing are just talented enough, it's the coaching job is the problem.

Yeah that's the problem, the coaching is the problem. When your team is as good as the Clippers and you can't even hold on to a big lead, or even worst down by 50 points at the half. Man, that's a terrible coaching. Regardless of how good their record is, that's already expected because again these players are talented.
I don't know, but If Doc Rivers was not a good coach for the Clippers, then I guess Ty Lue is even worse.

Well somehow, you're right they needed more time to gel out everything and work as a winning team. Let's see how he handles the Clippers.

Ty Lue  has one season to prove that, he was just an assistant coach of Doc Rivers and took over, just like when he took over the Cavaliers when David Blatt was fired and they won a championship but in the next season the team struggles. We don't know, maybe Ty Lue will help Clippers win a championship and then got fired by next season, haha.

Out of all the games tonight I lile 4 of them:

Detroit at home +8
Knicks at home (now) -2.5
Golden state at home +6.5 (think gs played them tough before this one im considering a ML with real nice odds)
Sacramento at home +5

Heavy on the first three, less on sac.  Thoughts??

I also like the knicks game under 211.5

Riding my homerism  

3-2 tonight.

Starting tonight will make 5 picks a night and see how this goes for 2 weeks.  Will make all even bets, minus vig will see how this goes.

Starting tonight am 3-2.  Tomorrow is another day

Today's picks.  Thoughts?

1)Heavy on Bucks -12.5 (I'd take this one up to 16 i think this will be a blowout tonight)
2) under Bucks game 221; hedge against the spread.  If the Bucks have a poor shooting night and don't cover than I have the under as the hedge
3) Dallas -6 at home against the magic. 
4) miami, wash game over 230.5. This one is going to be a run and gun game i think.  Can see a 125-115 kind of game
5) pacers -2.5 at home.  Suns are good i just like pacers at home on this one.

2week streak: 3-2

1)L not by much and giannks was listed out after the pick.
2)W
3)W
4)W
5)L

3-2 today and 6-4 last 2 days.  Will pick another 5 tomorrow.

LaMelo Ball had a career night. He is the youngest player to do a triple double in NBA history now at age 19 years and 140 days. While their team Charlotte Hornets beat Atlanta Hawks 113-105, LaMelo Ball had 22 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists.

Previous record was from Markelle Fultz at 19 years and 317 days. Fultz closed the season after his knee injury two days ago by the way.

This is impressive number by the young ball and he deserve to be placed at starting line up since for sure he can contribute more to the team if he will replaced graham.

Also its really tragic part for Markelle fultz to suffer that season ending injury since he is in his best season so far and his performance became good compare to the other season but now he's been stopped due to injury hopefully he can recover and can able to get back in good shape next season.

I'm happy for this guy, at least we are not wrong with our expectation, his brother has disappointed us but he is showing how to play the right basketball. I believe he is very comfortable of getting triple double even every night, and I'm sure the coaching staff have trusted him already.

I guess Ty Lue is about to get fired again.

Blame game once again. 
They won't admit it was the players who have problems.
Maybe they just can't work with each other. Well, it's still early. If the same thing happens in playoffs then I bet they will also overhaul their roster.

A new season-high for Tyler Herro with a win against the Wizards.
It was an exhausting game to watch for the Wizards but I could see their efforts. Great game.

Yeah it's the blame game, and we usually blame the coach in case the team is not doing better but credit to the players if the team is successful, where's the justice here? Tyron Lue has a championship experience and he won a championship, so I guess this guy is really capable of running a team successfully.

it's a very challenging task for him as Doc Rivers is one of the best coach in the NBA, and he replaced him.

It doesn't look like the 76ers team without Embiid or Simmons on the floor.
Then, you see Howard and Danny Green out there. It's just different. 
They tried to hold the Nuggets with their second team but not enough.

Regarding the stars of 76ers missing the game.
76ers' Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons to miss game against Nuggets due to injury
Good news: Tested negative with Covid19.

I want to see those people compete in the court with their complete players but right now, they cannot do that since the others need to be quarantined. I thought this whole pandemic thing has already done last year, it looks so bad when we are not even getting close to 20 games and this is what happened to those players. I think they need to tighten the security because if the whole team don't play in a day, that would be a problem that so much to handle.

They will be back soon, they might miss some games but if they are healthy most of the regular season, I think they'll be a tough competitor in the playoffs. Sixers had a good start under Doc Rivers, I'm feeling so positive for them this season, they might be in the NBA Finals as they have the talent and a great coach.

Oh, I was not updated with the trade. So Embid is already at team sixers. Well, he has shown and done well at Milwakee and I think it is better for him to try another team that might fit him in or could make a lot of help from other players especially in crucial gamed and time play. Embid was one of the great players in the basket after other superstar players like Lebron. Hopefully he will be able to get what he want this season like getting a  championship game.

He was never traded, he is a franchise player of the sixers, he played with this team from 2016-2017 season until now.

This is amazing.  Him and his brother have both been the youngest players in NBA history to score a triple double.  Lonzo did it to pass LeBron James as the youngest NBA player to record a triple double.  I'll admit that I didn't think the Ball brothers would make it in the NBA based on their Dad's delusions, but these 2 are killing it.  A shame Gelo hasn't had the same luck.  It's all been downhill for him since the China stealing incident.

[morvillz7z]

^ Yup, LaMelo has been balling thus far, he almost got a triple-double vs the Pels and his brother the other day, was just one assist shy, i guess it was only a matter of time before he gets his first, and given that he is a natural at rebounding, there will be a lot more to come.

2020 draft class might actually be a pretty good one with Edwards, Haliburton, LaMelo, Wiseman, and a few other kids that are showing potential.

[wheelz1200]

3-2 today and 6-4 last 2 days.  Will pick another 5 tomorrow.  

Today's 5 picks:

Okcity: +8.5
Warriors +3
Rockets -3
Heat -7.5
Knicks/den: over 214.5

All equally weighted.  Anyone with thoughts on these 5 picks?  Considering Denver-5.5 but as a knick fan I just can't lol.

Spurs have been playing really awesome this year, they are already 5-4 and they have shown that they are a changed team all together. I personally am a fan of them so it may sound like I am biased but I have said not too many nice things about Spurs last year, whereas this year they look like they are doing very well.

I think young players are developing amazingly, specially Dejounte, but it is still mainly LMA and Derozan and Mills that brings the team into a high gear, without them we would be nothing, however we would have a huge contract void which would be filled one way or another. I think if spurs continues with the go inside and dish out system for longer, I am sure they will get somewhere, offensively we are doing ok, but the defense was the most important thing that improved this year and this success is definitely because of that defensive hard work.

Well, this is an expressive number, I would never have imagined that LaMelo would be "able to fit" into the NBA, even break the record and become the youngest player in NBA history to perform a triple double, he is playing very well in the league.

He was able to adjust after a bad start and it looks like this team now has become a playoff team. They are underdog in their last few games but they still keep winning, soon enough they'll get the respect of the people and the bookies if they remain consistent.

I really start to believe that Bulls can make the play-offs this year as the city itself seems to have a new fresh air when it comes to sports. Look at NFL right now , Bears are playing after such a long time into play-offs and it wouldn't be a surprised if they win the game. So why can't Bulls reach the play-offs aswell ? They have a strong and skilled team , with a good coach and the biggest fan support around the world and also a great start of the season besides the previous ones.
