2024 NBA Season

[SquallLeonhart]

It's slim. If Steph could heat up early in the game then a chance may open.
Put a big deficit on the scoreboard and just maintain it. Rest Curry, Green, and Wiggins while the 2nd team will try to stop every possession and waste time.
Because that's their problem against the Lakers team. Back up.
Curry is the kind of player who gets exhausted easily with the set-up play made for him. He keeps on running without the ball, screen, and it's like everything rotates on him.
The Lakers' only key to winning the game is to stop that.

I don't know about slim.  I do think lakers will win, but no way golden state lays down in this one.  Should be some good fireworks tonight.  Think steph drops 40 and makes a good run at it but in the end Lakers have too many pieces for steph to deal with.  Wish we could see a GS team against the Lakers with klay playing.  Shame, hope he returns to some form of his old self

I wouldn't say slim neither, I would say Warriors is a good team that has a very good chance to forcing another game, it is not going to be easy. I would put Lakers beyond Warriors and I would say that favorites are clearly Lakers there is no doubt about that but I would put any team Lebron on versus any other team as the clear favorites so that is not a shocking thing for me to say.

However this is not as wild as people claim to be, there are places that gives Warriors 2.80 odds, I would have to say Warriors are not favorites that's known, and it is not tied neither, but it is not 2.80 odds neither. I gambled a bit on 2.70 before it went up a bit more, and I think that is a good bet, I know there is a good chance I will lose but I couldn't pass up a chance to bet on such good odds for Warriors. I also have 255.5+ on over as well, I really hope for a bunch of points and nobody missing anything .

I actually think this will be a low scoring game.  I don't think the Lakers want to run.  They will want to force a deliberate half court game where they can play d on steph.  If it's run and gun steph will find his spots all game.  I'd say 108-101 lakers win this close one and extend the lead at the end with free throws.  (Now it's guaranteed gs will win 150-145  )

Most probably because a high-scoring game would favor the Warriors here, their 3 point shooting is something that the Lakers should stop, otherwise, we might sees some upset here. It's hard to bet on the point spread but I like the under of this game as that's likely the result of this game.

I like the enthusiasm about the Lakers - Warriors game but before it there is the Grizzlies - Spurs. In the three games between them the winner was the away team. Considering the fact that throughout the year San Antonio has better away record than at home could they steal it and end the season for Memphis. Spurs definitely is the team with more experienced players but Grizzlies look in better shape. I am wondering what to pick - Spurs money line or Over 218 points. Probably the second.. What do you think?

You said it already, if you value the experience a lot in this game, then take the Spurs.
What I don't like about the Spurs this season is that they are so unpredictable, but it's playoff time so they might play better compared to the regular season.

They are the underdog here, but I believe they could win and upset the Grizzlies, so it's okay to take the Spurs.

Just my personal opinion dude, I'm not an expert but I like the Spurs odds here.

he Cavs are in talks to get  Jarrett Allen to sign a contract extension that worth $100 million or more, according to Terry Pluto of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Allen is a restricted free agent this off-season, as his extension deadline has come and gone.
I think that him getting a 5 years at $ 100M is a fair price for him. He has a fantastic skill set and is still getting better.

Thanks for your opinion mate, I'm just impressed with Curry's game in the last few games, so I'm thinking maybe they have a chance to win against the Lakers. I believe GSW beat the Lakers once in the regular season, so that means they can really beat the Lakers.

It was in January, and GSW won that game by 2 points. I guess they were just lucky at that moment because the Lakers were winning by 20+ points in the next two games versus the Warriors in the regular season, and it's worth noting that LAL played without Davis.

[wheelz1200]

Knick fan here but super excited about the Lakers golden state game.  I hope it isn't a blowout.  Don't care who wins don't have a dog in the fight and not touching it betting wise so I can just enjoy the game for what it is.  Tick toc will watch the appetizer and think Memphis pulls it out.  Then on to the main event

[arwin100]

The games yesterday are not close, what about the games tomorrow. I'm so excited with the Lakers vs Warriors games, do you think the Warriors can upset the Lakers here? I like to hear your thoughts on this, Warriors playing great basketball going to this play-in, do they have a good chance tomorrow?

However, I respect your opinion, Lakers are just smart, they have a lot of weapons, especially the inside while the Warriors are relying so much on Curry.

We are not on regular season so expect that we can see a different GSW today, they have a great chance to beat the Lakers since so far they are doing good for their past games. And he is producing a amazing contribution to his team thats why they manage to win their games let see how they conquer the lakers since thid is though match for them and I'm excited to watch their game today.

Disappointing....first game looks like last night 8 minutes into into game and it's a 21 point lead.  Setting up to be another boring game to watch.  Bring on the main event!

Edit 23 point lead lol.spurs look horrendous

You spoke too soon, San Antonio come back in the second quarter and close the gap, 56-49 Memphis Grizzlies. So there's a lot of basketball ahead of us in the second half.

But I'm sure basketball fans are excited to see the next game,  Lakers vs Golden State, Lebron vs Steph.
Los Angeles Lakers though still the favourite, while GSW @2.95. Might be good to throw some bet on GSW @ML.

Yeah kudos to the spurs for ripping like a 20-3 run against Memphis.  That was a tough punch they took in the first quarter.  Jonus V was dominant in the first.  Memphis up 7 with minutes to go in the third.  Should be a good 4th that's all you can ask for.  Hate playoff blowouts.  (Unless the Knicks are blowing someone out )

[OgNasty]

Nice to see Memphis getting it done against the Spurs. I think their fall from the David Robinson days is finally complete. It was a long reign at the top of sports when it comes to winning, but they aren’t even a playoff team anymore after missing them twice in a row.

Glad we have Doris Burke doing the commentating. The end of this game was more exciting then it needed to be…

[LogitechMouse]

Awful execution, a desperation three by Lebron as the shot clock expires and that changes the game and the Lakers got the victory because of that. BANG!!!!!!!. Very unbelievable . Congrats to them.

Lakers are officially in the playoffs right now while the Warriors will face the Grizzlies for the 8th seed. Warriors are leading by 13 during the halftime but because of the turnovers of Warriors, it let the lead disappear. Now the Lakers will be facing the Suns in the playoffs .

Yeah, that's a huge shot considering how bad his eyes hurt from his flop.  
NBA players are turning Hollywood next year. A lot of acting jobs happened and Mathews also joining the club by selling an offensive foul against Draymond Green.
Lakers win, not a bad game for the Warriors.
They fought hard defending big guys like AD and Drummond. Too bad Steve Kerr was not heard by the referee earlier calling for a timeout. If they had a little more time then it could go for overtime.

I thought it was for the Warriors, but it's a good comeback by the LA Lakers, they dominated the 2nd half. The lack of players for the Warriors made them suffer, they only played few guys unlike the Lakers where they have a good rotation, but still credit to the coaching, they almost beat the defending champ.

If Lakers played like that against the Suns or the Jazz, I think they'll lose.

[boyptc]

That was a good ending for the Lakers. But still kudos to Steph for having that 37 points on their match.

I hope that they'll win against the Grizzlies.

That's the importance of Lebron having in the Lakers, the dagger 3. But GSW has still the chance to at least force an OT, but Poole missed the 3 in the corner, it would be awesome to see an OT game between the two.

It has something to do with the defense as well, Caruso made Curry missed some shots and he played very well. Warriors still got the chance against the Grizzlies. I like the chances of Lakers against Suns though, I'm not be surprised if they won in seven games.

They fought a good fight and till the end Steph shos his awesomeness,

37 points agianst the Lakers and he really tried to win this game, every shot he made is really tough well contested.  But since it's
Chef Curry there's always high chance of possibilities to bank the shot,

Lakers win out of luck   LebRon and Davis lifts the lakers in the final quarter, that's how stars should react when the opposing team is playing big.

The Lakers were playing terrible in this game. They have shot 24% late in the 3rd quarter. While the Warriors were doing a good job attacking them from both the paint area and beyond the arc.
IMHO, there's no such thing as luck in a professional sports. They have been practicing their whole life in any kinds of toughest situations and they're playing a 4 quarter period.
Though LeBron and Davis lift the team down the stretch but the Lakers win as a team, they have 30 bench points to secure the W.
On the other hand, Steph Curry is so phenomenal this season and his the best 3 point shooter of all time IMO.
