2024 NBA Season

[dwminer1]

Instead of watching compete the main candidates to the NBA Finals, we will be watching the reserves match. The NBA must seriously consider reducing the number of games played during the season.

This might be the worst season for the NBA as the whole league has been bothered by major injuries and Covid.
Though the Lakers and Jazz had a great game tonight.
Jazz was able to pull a 15-0 run against the Lakers in the 4th to survive until the overtime. They even had a 2 points advantage at the stretch. However, they lost in the OT. Schröder just lead this Laker team to a W.
Another notable injury for KCP. I don't know whether that was just a muscle cramps or a more serious case.

Agree, it was a really good and interesting game.
From the information that can be found on the Internet, it appears that KCP, fortunately, nothing bad happened, it is just muscle contractions.

What an incredible performance from Stephen Curry last night! They lost to Celtics by 5 points but Curry did everything he can for his team undoubtedly. He got 47 PTS, 7 REB, 3 AST. But there was another insane performance at Celtics side.    J. Tatum had another marvelous performance - 44 PTS, 10 REB, 3 AST. It was really a great clash.

Yeah, indeed it was really a back and forth match between the teams. Celtics was the favourite in this match and GSW was a huge underdog in the betting odds. And Curry really try, they have a big lead, Celtics come back but he keep the team.

All the high favoured lost as well, Bucks, Utah and Phoenix Suns. The regular season is coming to an end so the fight specially for the last playoff spot are getting very intense that upset could really happen.

I was not able to watch this game (Lakers vs Jazz), but did really Lebron get a T after Clarkson slap him a little?

Lebron James Got's Technical For Delaying the Game After Jordan Clarkson Slapped Him

BTW, I guess this was JC's first start as a Utah Jazz and he really did everything to win but come ups short.

it's not a slap its a tap, maybe because they are former teammates that JC wants to greet his former team players, and it's normal to NBA players maybe they thought it in the negative, and I don't think it a delay of the game, the refs just overreact with that one, LeBron is in disbelief with what happened in that play.

It was a superb game, man. We watched two great players compete against each other. Steph Curry and Jayson Tatum both were awesome to watch. Both teams deserved to win this game, imo. And Curry is on another level, man. He's not from our world.

I confess, this is being a dark thing for Lakers ... and others NBA teams too.

Now Jokic will have to "carry the team on his back", especially since the playoffs will start soon.
Murray makes a lot of difference in Denver, I don't know how Nuggets will behave without your PG

They have to adjust, they lost Murray but they still have Gordon which they acquire recently, I think they can still be a tough team to bet in the playoffs. Nuggets team are design to play with good teamwork, they'll still have the success, but of course it's different when Murray is present but they have to live with the current situation, be more careful and avoid injury.

Yeah, Clarkson was really instrumental in leading the Utah Jazz and force an overtime.

However, the team really come up short, KCP and Dennis Schröder, scary tandem. But I don't like the rumour that Knicks want Dennis Schröder, but are reportedly unlikely to get into ‘bidding war’ for him.

And with this win, Lakers firmly on the 5th spot, like 3 games ahead of Portland.

Yes, they need to do this!
Yeah, thanks for reminding me, Gordon was a reinforcement for Nuggets, but they need to adjust to play without Murray.
He's one of the best players in Denver, I don't know if Nuggets will be able to get "very far" in playoffs after Murray's injury

Jamal had been more of a shooting guard lately and Campazzo and Barton had been the playmaker. Or Jokic.
What they lose is the speed in the offensive end without Murray running everywhere. Almost identical to the GSW play with Curry running without the ball.
That's what they need now because that kind of play opens a lot of opportunities for cuts and Jokic comes into play after that.
Now, their strength is in the defensive end. With large and agile players like Gordon and Porter Jr. they could make stops.
Jokic will just need to find a way to look for the open man.

This match really upset many of my friend that bet on Jazz that time. Drummond miraculously show a very strong game which is sufficient to shutdown a strong team like Jazz. Actually I was surprised too that Lakers perform that well without there Aces. Ggwp to the betlords who bet on the underdog Lakers that time.

Jazz is really playing like a proper team, they are really good, with everyone on the floor they are going to be a huge threat in the NBA for sure. However I feel like it is not the league for teams anymore, it is the league for superstars. I mean look at teams, with Nets having so many, Lakers having 2, Clippers having 2, Bucks having an amazing one, Nuggets have Jokic (and had Murray), it is really looking weird. Look at Suns, they "look" great right? Anyone even doubts that they won't win it this year?

I mean it is obvious that they are not going to win it this year, and yet they won so many games. Which is why regular season matters but not as much as people imagine it is, obviously most of the time best team becomes the first team, but that is not required, I remember plenty of times Lebrons teams finished under first seed and still went to finals all the time.

Jazz are underrated, but the moment they won an NBA Finals, that would make this team so special. If you remember the journey of the Warriors before, during the time of Curry, Thompson, Green and other role players, you would not think they are a superteam until they won a championship, so for the Jazz, I'll give them a chance to prove because they are playing with a great team work like the Warriors did during their glory days.

They are so balance thats why they have great chances to win the championship this season but lets hope that they will have a healthy rooster up to the playoffs since if their stars and role player cannot have a major injury well chances are even more greater. For now we cannot compare them on early GSW since they didn't have any championship won together yet.

The only thing that I'm concern about is that how they are going to face a team like the clippers, or the lakers in the playoffs, those teams are more experience in the playoffs both have Leonard George, James Davis, these teams are the team to beat, if they can adjust with this team in a seven-game series then they have a chance to be in the finals of either clippers or Brooklyn i think.

[gagux123]

Yes, they need to do this!

Yes, that was exactly what happened. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Murray is a combo guard, right? (he can play as PG and SG)
He was able to put a lot of speed on team when it was necessary, without him, the Nuggets will lost that reference a little bit.

Another negative point is, the most teams already know, Jokic will be the player to decide the game, and the responsibility will fall on him.

Kevin Durant has suffered in his knees when he banged knees with Trevor Ariza after that he didn't get to the game. Durant's knees are not yet back to normal now I understand why those superstars when they suffered a major injury and when they back to the court they are not the same man as there was when they had no injury. I hope he recovers soon, I really want to see this guy compete in the playoff again.

After returning, he's now going back to take some rest. What a shift of events.    And they've lost against Miami Heat with just a 2 point score lead.
I think if he's not out too early in the first quarter, they've easily won this match. Well, hoping for a speedy recovery of him.

I wish it will just be a minor thigh contusion.
There's no update yet about his medical tests. Let's hope it will just be a few weeks of rest to get back to the game.
But if it goes major, that will need 4-6 weeks. That is too long and he will need to be tested again if he could play afterwards.

I think we won't see this great player hoop the whole season anymore even in the next year or a couple.
He's just 32 and there is still a lot of years before his retirement.

He's always feeling like that even before and too bad that after his team got strong teammates, he's in injury and they didn't play altogether. It's sad that we didn't see them play, all of them with Aldridge.
They were praised and got goosebumps with their line up but it just so happen that they didn't play along because of sudden health issues and injury.
