2024 NBA Season

LaMelo had a great game Friday and and even better one Saturday. Topping it off he only had one turnover. This is what the coach was saying was keeping his minutes down. I think at this point the Rookie of the Year is LaMelo’s to lose. I was dead wrong thinking that kid wouldn’t be a superstar.

Because his brother failed the fans, now he is here to rescue and at least one ball will win the ROY.
He is now trying to be aggressive, his put up dunk over Sabonis will surely be one of the highlights of his early career.

It's Bojan Bogdanović's night.
7/11 in the 3 point field giving the Jazz an addition to their streak.

Bogey finally had a good shooting night and showed glimpse of his last season's performances. I sure hope that this is a sign of him finally putting that wrist injury/surgery behind as up until now he was never quite the same as prior to that. I read few weeks ago that he is still feeling a little bit of pain every time he releases the ball and that is a big issue for a quality shooter like him as even a little bit of discomfort lowers your %.

But I really appreciate their defense more. They are everywhere.
Even with the offensive power of the Mavs they shut down most of their roleplayers.

Yep, Utah has one of the best defensive teams in the NBA (and one of the deepest rosters), and imho best defensive player overall in Gobert who might get his 3rd DPOY if he &Utah continue to play like that. His only "problem" is that he is not as flashy as Davis/Antetokounmpo but I think no player affects it's team defense the way Gobert is doing.

If everyone stays healthy and Bogdanovic comes at least close to his last year's form, I can see Utah having deep playoff run. It would be great if they manage to keep top 2 spots and probably avoid Lakers up until Conference final.

Dame time! Lillard did it again.. watch how the Blazers shocked the Bulls.

Blazers been struggling lately due to injury but Lillard continues to help his team wins and this is one of the best win in the season so far.
Better than what they did against the OKC with PG and WB to beat them in the series. Damn Lillard.

That's what you called a real superstar, he does not panic and he never give up. There was only few seconds left in the clock and Bulls had a good lead but he never give up, he made 2 3 point shot to win the game, Lillard the man.

Imagine on having that 5 point lead by Bulls on last 24.5 seconds on the last quarter but they do still able to close it out with 2 3's in 11.5 seconds left on the game.
It was a tough shot but that jump ball decision did really give out some chance for them to have the possession of the ball.
Damn Lillard! I lost my bet.

Sorry to hear that, better luck next time game, sometimes things really came out unexpected, just like this game. If I bet on the Bulls, I would be too confident already that they'll win with that few seconds, but really 'sh*t happens"... lol

I was already preparing to log-in into my sportsbook  account and readying up for some cash out or take profit specially on that last 30 seconds of the game which 5 point lead
isnt something that a certain team could able to pull off on few seconds.I did actually smash out the chair beside me when those 3's did actually bangs out.

Shit do really happens and better luck next time to me. Well played Lillard well played.

Another loss for LA Lakers Griffin just firing up, .....

Finally Griffin had a good game, This is his best game of the season, last 2 games, he only scored single digit. I hope he will continue playing like that, he needs to be consistent now as Pistons seems to be improving a lot.

The lakers are different when AD is not on the floor, Gasol presence inside is unnoticeable, he should be more aggressive inside, although we know he is a bit old I know he can still ball, Harrell does a decent job, pistons outside shooting are on the spot, the good game I thought lakers should win but, pistons does it harder this game.

It's just one game against the Lakers though, Lakers are still a better team than the Pistons and sometimes even good teams has a bad night so it's alright, I was just happy to see that Griffin finally scoring a double digit which he usually does, even him his production has also decrease a bit.

I really thought that as well, seems like the Lakers are just having a bad night and like luck is not on their side, While griffin on their other games are just having a single-digit score seem all his other game was his bad night, but this goes to show that anything can really happen even though you are Jordan or Kobe there is surely a time that they as well are having a hard time scoring their shots.

I don't know how Griffin does that but it seems that he is just lucky that night while playing with the Lakers.

What a fun game with GSW vs Pistons.
Although I did lose my bet for Pistons, Curry displayed why he was the best 3 point shooter once again.
Bombarded them with 6/8 behind the 3 point line and got the blowout win against the Pistons to rest early.

The fun part: The post-game interview with Klay and Steph Curry.

Fun game from the GSW squad... Curry has a commanding presence in the game and the level of confidence between team was 💯.
The west is going through some high reforms and their game is becoming increasingly interesting by each.

Thinking that your bet is already a win since the team you pick can just hold the ball and consume the time till it ends. But as long as there's a time left anything can happened.

Like what happened to this game where Lilard once again showed his stardom and bring the win to Blazers
he simply amazing, he's heart and eagerness to win is always been there, a good example of being the star
of your team, not letting your team down when you are needed the most. Dame another big one for him!

West is quite tight once again, I wonder what is going to happen, every team is quite good this year again. Spurs was 4th a game ago, now they are 9th after just one loss. It means that just like last year whoever ends up at the 8th spot could be decided with just one game.

Usually the team at the 8th spot gets swept so it is not really a big deal but going to playoffs still means a lot, even if you get swept in the first round that means you are going to play at least 2 games in your home court and means more money, even if there are no fans on stands you make more money from the tv rights, and more money means owner is more inclined to get players and go over luxury tax. Look at Warriors, they went over the tax so many years in a row and even built a new stadium but they were capable of doing it with the amount of rings they have won and earned money as well.

Currently, the winning percentage of those teams at 4th spot to 10th are tight so you will really some big leap on the standing even just for a single game result. Take a look at Memphis Grizzlies sitting at 5th spot with 8 wins but the Spurs with 11 wins are in 9th because of total games played and winning percentage.

Anyways, that's always the scenario in the Western Conference, a tight standing wherein when you put the 8th spot on the East, it will end up on 4th or 5th. Last season, it's only in the Western Conference that ends up in a special play-in game due to tight standing on the last spot of the playoffs. I'm not sure if the same system will be applied this year or back to the usual.

Looks likes the hot streak of the Jazz will end tonight.

Nuggets having a good start here, 16 points lead already (48-32), if Jazz will be able to come back and win that will be another great success for them.
Good luck for those who are rooting for the streak to continue, I think Nuggets will end this win streak tonight.

You probably right that Utah will lose this game. Jazz looks good as usual, but Nuggets looks unstoppable because they scored 79 points and made 15 of 17 from the three-point line in the first half of the match.

That shooting was the reason why Jazz can't keep up with the Nuggets. Anyway, 3rd quarter now, let's see how the Jazz will respond, if they'll come back, that would really be awesome, but chances are very low.  Jokic already in 35 points, I think 50 points is easy for him tonight.

Oops. Jazz are coming back, they make it a single digit lead only and only 12 points lead by the Nuggets entering the 4th quarter.

Still plenty of time, 12 minutes is enough to come back and win, good luck Jazz, let the streak continue. 

[Ziskinberg]

It's official, the 11 win streak of the Utah Jazz are now stopped.

Good win by the Nuggets, they were in control of the game, Jazz had a little run but that was not enough as Nuggets also come back to get back to their comfortable lead.

Final score : 117- 128

Leading scorer for the Nuggets,  Jokic with 47 points, and a little extra of 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, overall a good performance by the Joker.
