2024 NBA Season

[rhomelmabini]

Playoffs PG just show us that he can do his thing again, glad they got the win and hoping that the homecourt advantage the next time will make it close to advance on WCF.

Well, if LA goes to the wcfs then Phoenix will go to the finals, with or without KL.

I'd doubt that for now.

That's what I'm talking about pg needs to play like in pacers days, but now the jazz is on the ropes, they need to do something and shows up as the first 2 games of the series, Mitchells seems to be bothered by something i don't know maybe he's not that 100% after all, Clarkson, they need to adjust with the clippers defense if not, then being at the top of the standings are all that they can show, to the fans, to early for them to exit.

[Reid]

Now that's what you call unexpected especially for the Clippers team stepping up with Kawhi out of the game.
A big win for them and so does the Hawks coming back from an enormous deficit.

Bogdanovic and Clarkson were hot for the Jazz but damn, PG13 can melt all that heat they are producing.
What's their next step? Royce Oneal cannot handle him. Gobert is also a problem being attached to the rim and doesn't want to go up and defend.
I wish Coach Snyder reacted better on that small lineup input of the Clippers. Take Gobert out and trust the bench.

PG should repeat this performance in the next game. By the way, the Clippers won 2 out of 3 games versus the Suns during the regular season. So I also doubt that the Suns can easily beat the Clippers, considering that they probably will start playing WCF without Chris Paul.

Surprising results in today's meetings. Before starting the 76ers-Hawks series, I was not giving the Atlanta team a great chance. Meanwhile, Trae Young is leading his team to another victory despite Joel Embiid being unstoppable again.
In the Jazz-Clippers game, I didn't give the guests any chance when I found out about Kawhi's injury. However, Paul George shows that he can also play in the playoffs as befits one of the leaders.

They have nothing to lose against the Sixers today in their home court. So they just play their usual game and then the pressure was put to the Sixers, they melted away, can't buy a basket or two, while Trae has having a field day.

In the Jazz-Clippers game, I didn't give the guests any chance when I found out about Kawhi's injury. However, Paul George shows that he can also play in the playoffs as befits one of the leaders.

Paul George is the next best option, it was a tough game and it was a complete turn around. Utah tries to comeback buy they have answered and weathered the storm. They probably close it out next game in their home court and set up a Phoenix vs Clippers for the WCF.

The 2 top 1 seeded in team in both in Eastern and Western Conference are in the verge of getting a second round exit because they have been beaten by their opponents.
What an upset for both of these 2 teams.

76ers got a highest lead of 26 and leading most of the game but they didn't have any gas coming into the 4th quarter. The Hawks came back erasing the deficit little by little until they got the lead. What's worse is looks like Embiid is the one who is responsible on both of their losses. In Game 4 he shot 0/12 in the second half causing their losses and again in Game 5, he missed the 2 most crucial free throws. Ohh I forgot, they have a coach that  choked in the Bubble last year and he has a MVP candidate who choked too at the time where he is badly needed. A perfect combination . I might say some harsh words but its true .

Now on the other hand, this is more upsetting than the other game because their main superstar Kawhi didn't play but PG13 alongside Jackson and Morris did the almost impossible and won the game at road. It looks like PG13 still got the momentum that he had in their last 2 games and I'm just glad that he got some support from his teammates. Almost all 5 starters of the Clippers are in double figures and.. what can I say. Just a wonderful performance to them .

Now both the top 1 are in the verge of getting eliminated because they lose their must win game on their home. What are the adjustments that they will do in the next game??
Brooklyn Vs Milwaukee Game 6 at Bucks home court tomorrow. Who are you betting into this?

Paul George has been criticised for his performance against the Mavs, even calling him Pandemic George. So it's just a matter of time before he really step up, just sad that it somewhat needed for Kawhi to get injured. Morris Sr and Reggie Jackson also was in the zone, hitting 3's to dosed Utah rally in the fourth quarter.

But in any case, they hold off a strong Utah Jazz in their homecourt, but the series is not over yet although Clippers is just a game within.

Rockets are good in this season

The chance to finished is series @ home is very possible, and if you have that momentum for sure you'll grab all the opportunities to make your fans loves you more.

PG has been criticize no longer new to him, he just shut all those people who called him that alias, after this monster performance for sure a lots of expectations from him to continue the chase of lifting the team winning this series.

Congrats Clippers, one more win for the WCF finals.

Why? Because of the 3 first round picks?

No, that's not true. He already stepped up his game from Game 2 to Game 5 (now) with the Jazz. Kawhi was still playing at that time and he was the wingman who contributed a lot for the Clippers. It's just that, he got all the attention today because Kawhi was out.
Consistency will be the only problem. I hope he doesn't go far to being overconfident and can still rely with his team like Jackson and Morris Sr.
They also made it this far because of those two while Batum helps them on the defensive end.

^^ PG13 is just on the shadow of Leonard in this series, but I would say that he is consistent, not just offensively, but in defense as all.

I love how Reggie Jackson, Mann and Batum are doing as well. They are also playing good defense at the same time hitting clutch three point. Wonder thought why Rajon Rondo is not giving enough minutes on the court, is he nursing some injury or something?

What lacking again for the Jazz is their inside offense, they relied so much on their 3 point shooting and they got tired in the end. Their 3 point shooting in that game was only 37% or 20-54, and that's below their average I believe, while the Clippers only made 40 attempts because they are driving the ball inside and they are moving the ball very well.

If they can't beat the Clippers without Leonard, then I guess this series is over in 6 already.

I believe that this NBA season belongs to the west team. Whoever win in the East will face monster team like Phila, Nets and Bucks which is very strong with there current roster. Clippers without Kawhi is just another team on East. I highly doubt that PG13 can continue this game phase until finals though.

Leonard's injury looks serious because his status now is "out indefinitely", and according to the news, it was an ACL injury and he might be out long term. We never know if he will come back in the next round or the WCF, but without him, I think the Clippers will suffer against the healthy Suns.

That's very unfortunate news for the Clipper's fan out there. Without Leonard, I doubt if they can win this series against the Jazz, and if ever they do win, they might be sweep by the Suns IMO. The odds for game6 are already out and the Clippers are the slight underdog which means that bookies are anticipating a Jazz win especially that Mike Conley is expected to be back in that game.

Maybe you mean East?

Jazz vs Clippers series and Suns are west teams, while Nets vs Bucks and Philly vs Hawks, they have teams in the East.
According to the betting odds, the East is the favorite to win in the NBA finals, so you are right.

Those odds will modify after next games because 76ers will beat Hawks in 7 games.

For me , this season of NBA play-offs is barely watchable because of the injuries of the players and remember when LeBron said to NBA that this type of schedule will affect a lot of great players and will create lots of injuries. Here we are now, with most important players in NBA this season have been injured and what is even more sadly is that some of the players will miss the chance to bring their team to a final or even help them win it...

So yea , for me the favorite cannot be pronounce yet as all of them have their chance. What is next ? Trae young to get injured ? KD ? Who we gonna watch then ?

Yeah they get 2 cracks at putting down the jazz with the next one coming at home.  If they do make it past I don't think they have enough to get by the suns even without cp3.  For me this playoffs is all Nets right now.  Durant is the best player maybe in the league and if he can just keep one of Kyrie or Beard on the court they will take home the chip.

He actually said it again.

They all didn’t wanna listen to me about the start of the season. I knew exactly what would happen. I only wanted to protect the well being of the players which ultimately is the PRODUCT & BENEFIT of OUR GAME! These injuries isn’t just “PART OF THE GAME”. It’s the lack of PURE

It's true and I don't think NBA didn't expect that.
They might know it would happen but they just ignored it. IIRC, they even went to the extent of posting facts that injuries this year and last year were lower during the bubble. The hell are they talking about.
They want to finish the game with speed so they can start early this year. It became greed or the investors and owners are pushing the commissioner to rush things out so they could recover from all the losses last season.
