2024 NBA Season

[qwertyup23]

It looks like GSW will have an easy time against New Orleans.

They have been playing too good basketball, executing their plays and having some fun and of course it's their home court so every fans are happy. Iggy 9 assists in 13 minutes, probably a record, Lol.

4th quarter now, and leading by 22, GSW is not known for choking and very good at protecting their lead. So I would say that this will be a win for them.

Like what I previously mentioned, watching GSW play is like watching the Spurs due to their team chemistry and passing. All players, including the Bench, contributed to their overall development and score. But more importantly, the significant improvement of Jordan Poole is the cherry on top. Not to mention, Garry Payton II was a steal and he showed on why he deserved to be on that team.

I am just really excited the time Wiseman and Klay return to the court. Currently, GSW is 7-1 and I do think that they have the capability of dominating the western division if they continue playing very liquid.

And if I'm not mistaken, the announcer said that Jordan Poole stays in the arena or at least continue his shooting more than any other GSW player.

And now we are hitting the fruits of his labor as he can literally shot the 3's anywhere he want just like Steph. And I've seen youtube even before the season starts that Poole are going to be big with the GSW and that's what happening now.

The kid is now gaining confidence at every game. Since the start of the season, Steve Kerr puts him as one of the starters for 8 consecutive games now. There's also an improvement in his playing compared to the last 2 seasons at the Warriors. He's now 2nd in the team with the highest PPG surpassing Andrew Wiggins.

The kid has the potential to become a new face of the franchise. He just needs to be consistent and puts up a high-level performance especially if they are up against a much strong team.

Good to see him as part of the core, Iggy is aging now and with the way Poole is playing more likely he will surpass Wiggins,

Just don't know if what adjustment GSW will do once Klay is there to play, we've seen similarities with these two stars, they both have that rainbow

stroke  which have a high percentage shots, so no longer splash Duo but a Trio now.

For sure.

Wiggins is too inconsistent and passive to be a long term contributor on the team.

I'd say that Jordan Poole has already long exceeded Wiggins' ceiling this season. Especially given that Wiggins' athleticism is going to start declining very soon, we should expect the more confident Poole to be the third option after Curry and Thompson very soon.

Their salary is way different and still the ones working their ass are the kids who are hoping they would get a better one the next contract they sign.
I don't know about Wiggins though, is he still worth that number or they should start thinking about trading him and absorb the new guys who are willing to give their all for a championship.

Wiggins should really be more of a role player but it looks like there aren't much of huge disparity in both of their stats. Once again, if Klay backs that doesn't mean Wiggins will not have the minutes but it looks like his presence will still needed because Klay isn't that 100% yet during that time. If ever he's going to be traded what role should it be?

Poole is leading on the scoring especially on PPG but it isn't huge, the minutes was just the same as well but Poole is a Rookie and that's impressive. On the other hand, defensively Wiggins was at it especially on the rebound but on steal and blocks pretty much the same. Assist is impressive for Poole but the turnover he did was half compared to that of Wiggins.

He may be high on turnovers but it's still acceptable because he got touches on the ball. Look at the ranking of most turnovers this season below and you'll see that there are more players with higher turnovers, and that leads by James Harden who averaged 4.9 per game while Jordan Poole only has 2.5.

He's been inconsistent since his Timberwolves day. You can't rely on him all the time. However, his average is still better compared to anyone. It's just that in Golden State Warriors he becomes the main man due to the absence of the team's key scoring players like Steph Curry and Klay Thompson.

Now that the Warriors made again a potential best player in the future, they have another scoring option and once the Warriors become 100% complete, they will now have the most dominant outside shooters. They just only need a PF or C to secure the inside and they will become unstoppable.

Warriors do not own the best center ever since but they are still winning, I guess their lineup is enough already as long as Green is healthy because he is one of the reasons why they have a great defender inside and Draymond's Green passing ability as a big man is very impressive.

In spite of having a better record, the Lakers are 5.5 point underdogs today vs the Portland Trailblazers. This seems like it could be a turning point for them. If they win, they’ll show they can beat decent teams and improve their record to 6-4. If they lose, it’s back to a .500 team working through growing pains. It’s still early in the season, but I’d like to see them win tonight, even if they are short handed.

HUGE win for the Knicks last night.  Anyone catch the game?  They looked dead down 21 in the beginning of the second and the Knicks second unit came in and shredded the Bucks.  D Rose looked as good as I've seen him play in the last coue years.  Dude looks like he is on a mission to prove everyone wrong.  Big fan of DR

There is news that the 76ers began to fine Ben Simmons again. At least they have already fined him for missing a game against the Pistons. I think this is the right decision by the team management because it should motivate Simmons to solve his mental health issues as soon as possible.

The GSW become good again and Klay wasn't even playing yet. It seems like they'll gonna reclaim their spot in the playoffs judging on their performance early this season.
They don't even have a legit big man.

By the way, did you guys appreciate how the NBA has been changing the rules. James Harden just literally hooked Jackson's arm and was called for an offensive foul.

GSW was good even last year when Curry played but they were not good enough for too long, Curry only played for a while and it wasn't enough. So they didn't actually lose their whole talent just because Durant left, they are still good. However for a while they had no klay, curry was out for a while too, and that resulted with them playing with g-league level players instead for nearly a whole season. This is why I believe that we are going to see GSW become good again, it was a health issue and they are getting over it.

Curry is perfectly healthy right now, and that is going to end up being a big big improvement. Let's see what happens when Klay comes back, there is like 1-2 month left I believe and he would get in good shape until playoffs as well hopefully.

Yes, that was a good win for them, they bounce back easily in the 2nd quarter with a good run and they don't anymore trail. The undermanned Bucks could not stay consistent all night as New York used their entire force to defeat the depending champion, and it's good to witness the Knicks knows how to come back from huge deficit and hopefully they'll be able to carry that in the playoffs.

Who you got on Jazz vs Miami? I can't seem to find an update if Mitchell or Lowry will play for their respective teams. The Heat looks to have the advantage offensively if both players mentioned won't play but Clarkson seems to have gotten out of his slump lately and will be shooting a lot.

They should have done it before. Simmons is under contract and there's no room on his drama. Right now, if no trade happened, he just needs to prove his worth. If he wants to get out from the team, he should work on increasing his value for other teams to see his value and now finally makes a big offer to Sixers.

There's no big offer that Sixers got that's why there's no trade yet involving Simmons. The Sixers want a fair trade but since other teams saw Simmon's performance last playoffs, they got hesitant I think. To change the view of other teams towards Ben Simmons, he should play for the Sixers for now and be aggressive increasing his stats. If he will maintain that, other teams will now notice him.

Donovan Mitchell is questionable for the Utah Jazz.
Kyle Lowry is questionable too for the Miami Heat.

Right now the Moneyline odds are so close. For me, I will pass the Moneyline here and go for handicap or point spread instead. Any chosen team will do as they can both cover it. Now depends on what team will you choose.

I guess Lowry is questionable in today's game. The odds is good for the Heat today, even if Lowry will not lace up.
And yes the Heat is most likely to have the advantage against a Mitchelle-less Utah.
However, If Clarkson plays the same energy like the recent game they had and score efficiently then I can say the Jazz could bag this one.
Nevertheless, this is also a good bet for the Jazz. There's no huge difference in odds anyway, and I can also fell this will be a close game.

A great duel between the sixth mans, Herro and Clarkson, if both players actually pop off then it's going to be very interesting, if Donovan Mitchell doesn't play, the Jazz still has a huge chance on beating Heat, Lowry not playing isn't a big problem since Adebayo and the others can still deliver without Lowry doing the playmaking duties, what I'm scared of here is Jazz's 3pt shooting, if the Heat cannot stop them from draining 3's then it will be a huge problem.

He is already playing and the usual Lowry we've seen so far with the Heat, so fiery and even got 1 technical fouls already. Mitchelle did play as well, but the defense of Butler is very stiff, he can score when Butler is not on him, but when Butler guards him, he was able to shut down Donovan.

Miami by 15 points now, last 7 minutes, it will be crucial for Jazz to make a comeback.

But Miami is playing very good and everyone is scoring and having a good time.

[mirakal]

Donovan Mitchell is questionable for the Utah Jazz.

He did play and scored 37 points, unfortunately, Utah Jazz fall short of their rally in the 4th quarter. Just enough for the Miami Heat to win and cover the spread of -2.5 because they only won by 3 points. Butler, Lowry, and Herro were solid in that game, Herro might really win the 6th man of the year award.

I'm also thinking that same, Herro has now embrace his role of coming from the bench.

And he really contribute big when his three point and then playing good defense early on Clarkson. I guess he really wanted to take Clarkson because he wanted to be the Sixth Man for this year.

Although the score was close in the end, Miami built a commanding lead and they are also one team that is good in the 4th specially if they have a good lead. Good win for the Heat and enough to cover the spread.
