2024 NBA Season

[Maslate]

Another win by the Nets though, James Harden again, pouring 40++ points against Detroit. A lot of emotions specially Blake Griffin playing against his former team. He did have 17 points. Not enough time for Detroit to at least force the game into OT.

A huge improvement by Griffin from his previous game which he only scored 2 points.
I hope this will continue, Griffin contributing at least 15 points per game, with some rebounds as well, I think hat would be big enough as a contribution.

Nice game for them but they should really need to improve on how to take care of their lead. Because that's also what happened to them last time when they're in good lead but still able to be coped up by their opponent.

I can understand that they maybe have some problem in keeping up their lead because they only have Harden, Irving and Durant are still out, in fact my Nets has already surpass my expectation on how they will perform without the 2 stars, what matters now is they win and they keep winning even Harden is the only one among the big 3 is carrying the team.

Nice game by Blake Griffin, I was not able to see the game and have not watch the highlights of the game yet.
Had he made another dunk shot in this game?

The unhealthy Blake Griffin who couldn't make a single dunk in Pistons was fake. He was faking everything just to make his way out from the Pistons. I know he's been suffering from injuries, but it's so unbelievable that he can't make a dunk anymore. I mean, he's taller than PG13 who broke his leg but still manage to make almost the same dunks before he had severe injury.
The healthy Nets are now the scariest team in the NBA. They're now the most favourite team and most likely to win the championship this post season.

We can speculate in this area but we cannot prove anything.

What matters is the deal is done, Griffin is not anymore an asset to the team so he was sent to the Nets and Nets were happy with his arrival.
Win-win for both teams, no one would keep a player that is not anymore performing as expected, even if they got them as a superstar.

Agree!


Ok the Brooklyn Nets is going crazy.
Lamarcus Aldridge just signed a 1 year deal with the Nets

I'm not sure yet, but that was the speculations circulating around the NBA news outlets.

Edit: Damn, got beat posting the news by a few seconds!

Ikr hehehe. This news just got me literally jump from my seat. They are obviously a very stacked team.

[OgNasty]

LaMarcus Aldridge has decided to sign with the Brooklyn Nets!

They might be the most stacked team in history. If the Lakers don’t pick up Drummond I’m not sure any other team in the NBA has a chance. This Nets squad could probably take down the 2016 Warriors...

Edit: Damn, got beat posting the news by a few seconds!

[freedomgo]

Damn that news! I didn't expect that, so they have no chance on Drummond now?  I guess Lakers could acquire him and will make their team to compete with the this new level full of stars Nets. Coaching should be easy for Nash here, winning his first championship and coach of the year seems so bright now.

Is this final? I thought that this is still a rumor. But anyway, looks like the Nets are getting stronger in their force and really serious in taking this seasons ring.

Exciting.

Oasisman was faster than you OgNasty lol

Anyway, I think the Nets are one of the most stacked teams in history, including the 2016/2017 Warriors
Will it be that next season if the Nets keep that same team, they can beat the record in the regular season of the Warriors (season 15-16) and exceed 73W / 9L?

Yeah, it's final because NBA already posted a report on the official site about it. Aldridge is going to sign a 1-year contract with the Nets.
On paper, the Nets(All-star) roster will be unbelievable and unstoppable, and I'll be excited to see them in action in the playoffs.

So potential first five of Nets:

Center - L. Aldridge
Power Forward - B. Griffin
Small Forward - K. Durant
Shooting Guard - K. Irving
Point Guard - J. Harden

Yeah, could be the most stack up teams in the modern era. Even the '96 can't match with this the Nets.

I dont know where they get all of this money from out of nowhere. They are building a mostrum of a team. I havent seen anything like this.
Nets have always been one of the worst teams in the nba now out of nowhere the making the biggest team in history of basketball

I would have pursued Andre instead of Aldrige for the center position if I were the nets, Aldridge has a back issue even when in blazers, same with the spurs, I'm not saying he's not a good player but I like Andre more, but let's see how he fits with the nets, but when you look at the starting five, its a wall, solid starting five.

Nets is -$53.2M upon acquiring Harden. Then they signed Griffin with a veteran minimum contract.
Now Aldridge. I don't see any record yet of how much was offered. But, it may just also be a minimum contract for they will be paying a lot of luxury tax if they go higher.
Nets management is doing everything to take the championship. That's a lot of money on the line, I hope they will fulfill their goal this year.
They can let some players go when KD is fully healed.

I think Aldridge is fit to be there since Drummond is OP and he needs to go to another team really. The best thing about Aldridge being in the Nets will give him some good role where he can be the best support for their PF or Center. He and Blake were amazing in their prime and they still have the skills within themself to support their team. This is the best team in the eastern conference, I wonder if they can really bring this team into the championship.

Buzzer beater from the Sacramento Kings.
That was a good shot from the 3 point line by Harrison Barnes. Wrong decision from defender staying at his back. Should've went forward and deflected the ball.
Ref won't let them win with a great defensive block calling it as a goal tending but they still found a way for a win.
Now they can savor the win with a better ending.  

Barnes was 0-2 at the 3 point line before that winning shot.

[Rruchi man]

SacramentoKings  are on fire with their 4th win in row. Harrison Barnes' deserves to be gifted some crypto for that incredible shot! You really broke Cleveland's heart. Lol

It seems that the Nets are going to take the ring this time. That was an unexpected transfer from Aldridge. A big man with the others that can really contribute pretty well to the team.

This is a superteam and I think most will agree to that or I'm just hyped on it or all of us were.

Not just Cleveland’s heart. I had money on the Cavs. 

I should know better than to bet against my hometown. De’Aaron Fox was spectacular as usual and outplayed Collin Sexton for the win.

Kings are really fired up and this win streak helped them to get really close to the playoffs. GSW have been losing 4 times in a row which have made things easier for Kings. I also liked D. Fox's performance very much (36 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists).

If I'm not mistaken, it was Drummond's decision not to join the Nets for whatever reason. And probably that's the reason why they chase the next Center on the list which is the veteran Aldridge.

So their stocks goes up again with this latest acquisition and getting closer to a NBA ring. It will be a big disappointment though if thing goes South for them this season. So let's see how he will fit in the system of coach Nash.
