2024 NBA Season

[Kasabus]

How Alex Caruso? this guy makes some major contributions to the team, so he definitely would find it a good challenge tonight if he will be able to guard Steph Curry, with the defense of the Bulls, I guess Poole will step up again, and let's see if Wiggins would still bring his A-game in this great matchup.

He is always a surprise but I don't think he could limit Curry's production in this game.

The Warriors now seemed to turn back the time as they are winning in the huge margin in some of their games, and the good thing is that when they are down in double digit, they know how to come back and beat their opponent in double digit. That tells us when the Warriors are hot, they'll continue shooting and will not give the opposing team a chance to close the game.

The Bulls have improved this season, no question about that, but they lose against the sixers twice in a row, maybe the Warriors could see their weakness.

San Antonio Spurs is not doing as badly as people imagined they would. I get that so far we haven't shown any promise, and with Derozan and LMA out of the way, young players are finally picking up the slack and showing some promise. I mean 4-7 is not a record you would like to see from your team for sure, but they are fighting for that last play-in tournament spot, that was 10th right? In any case they could really fight for that spot and that's a very good thing for them.

Considering most of the players are under age 27, that means that if they could just keep the core together, only like 6-7 players, then they could potentially reach to a playoff level next season if everyone is healthy (had injury problems since rebuild started) and then maybe even a title in 4-5 seasons if they keep playing together like this. I do not know if Pop could be around in 5 years though, that is a big problem.

Spurs are probably in a rebuilding process and I think coach Pop will also retire soon as he is the oldest active coach in the NBA now if I'm not mistaken.

he is now 72 years, old enough to enjoy his retirement as he already achieved a lot being a coach of the Spurs for a very long time, for sure the NBA will recognize him as a hall of famer.

The Spurs is one of my favorite teams in the NBA but they have been struggling in the past seasons, so they really need a new all-star player to lead the team as DeRozan failed to do his job with the Spurs.

Clippers won over Miami, it was tight in the end, but Clippers had been very good in middle quarters, while Miami won first and last
Bam, Lowry and Herro were the only one in Miami that very above 10 points, while LAC had five players above 10, and Paul to lead them with 27 points

good bet for me

Nice! Was it ML? I was asking about point spread last time and took on LAC at -6. I was already happy after three quarters but the Heat team are tough hehe. Oh well you win some you lose some.

Warriors are going to host the red-hot Chicago Bulls.

What do you think about this game, will the Bulls finally give the streaking GSW a real challenge and beat them on their home court?

No Vucevic for the Bulls but they have DeRozan and Lavine.

Good test for both teams but Warriors D will shut down those duo even if you include Ball who is also playing well.

It's too early to predict something because the season began quite recently. However, it will be a good result for the Spurs if they reach at least a play-in tournament. By the way, Pop will most likely retire next year, considering that his contract with the Spurs will end after this season.

I honestly like their defense, and I like the Warriors having a lot of options now.

Curry is great, he is the greatest shooter in the NBA for me but this season, we've also seen how Poole has improved and is able to put some big numbers for his team. Draymond Green will always be a defensive specialist, now that Bulls missed their center maybe that would give the Warriors an advantage inside or at least a fair match.

What I see here is the Warriors ability to shoot consistent 3 point shots that will make the Bulls suffer, but that is still depending on how they play their defense, if they can minimize the Warriors' shooters, then we will probably see a good game by the Bulls.

What we see on their last game might not happen with the bulls but honestly I like their current run this season and looks like they are so consistent on their wins but the problem right now is Bulls is also a well compose team so we cannot expect that they can easily beat them as there are so many shooters and well defender added on the line up of bulls. So what provably we can see here is a good match up to see.

Bulls vs Warriors is a good match not gonna lie, well defenders you say? Bulls are actually struggling in terms of defense as they are more of an offensive stance to me, Warriors on the other hand is well-balanced, GPII is a great defender and if you watch their games, they have pretty good defense since Stever Kerr is the mastermind behind it, Bulls on the other hand cannot be stopped offensively.

I swear that this game will be loaded with 3-pointers from both teams, Lonzo Ball is hot right now and so as Steph with his 50-pt performance last game. I'm going for Warriors on this one.

[TravelMug]

^^ It is living up to the expectations right now, the game is very close.

Bulls takes the lead early, but GSW comes back, now the score is 41-40 for GSW. But the Warriors are missing a lot of shot specially 3 point shot.

Curry though is still in the bench, but let's see who the game will turn out to be.

GSW now in a big lead at the third quarter. A big turnaround when Steph Curry acquires his hot hands.
Bulls having a difficult time to see the plays made by Steve Kerr, I just wish they reviewed some clips about it or this game will be over if no one will figure out how to stop it.

Another big turnaround game is the OKC against the Kings. Up by 18 points in third quarter and suddenly OKC took it all back after a 12-2 run.
4th losing streak for the Kings while OKC now at 4th winning streak.

Yeah, another big game for Steph and the Golden State Warriors.

They've almost score 40 points again in the 3rd quarter, I like Payton Jr play though, he has his father's quick hands, not sure how many steal he got but I count at least 2.

Bulls has no answer, they are just playing horrendously. Not sure if they can even score 100 points in this game.

I want to say that the 3rd quarter dominance of the Warriors lead them to victory but it seems like they've outscored Bulls since the 2nd quarter already.

If you will see the Box Score at the official website of the NBA, you will see that all of the Warriors' players have contribution to the team either offensively (points and assists) or defensively (steals and blocks). All of them played to this game as well maybe because they got a huge lead at the 3rd quarter already. Still this just shows that the Warriors are very unpredictable because you don't know who will be their go-to guy that will shoot and shoot. Curry is always their go-to guy but a second shooter or a 3rd shooter that will help the team score if he is on the bench.

GP2 is a great addition to the team. His athleticism and his defensive skills makes the Warriors better defensively. Add also his highlight dunks (at least one per game). The Warriors are lucky to have him.

[cafucafucafu]

Warriors have proven that they are the real deal.

The Bulls are a good but they are definitely still building in my opinion. Despite their record in the East, they will not be able to make the ECF with the current standard of play.

They need a third star alongside Lavine and Derozan who can take more 3 pointers. Vucevic being out doesn't help.

[Velvet78]

I suppose that the biggest game of the night was Golden State Warriors v Chicago Bulls. GSW are the team that have started in the best way to the season among all teams. They lost only once before this game in 10 games. And Bulls also started in a very solid way after renovating their roster. To be honest, I was expecting a quite competitive game here. But it turned out that GSW gained a quite comfortable victory by a 26-point difference (119-93). And Stephen Curry was at another level again by scoring 40 points. He continues to carry his team to victories.

[Russlenat]

Dennis Schröder finally had a game that he proved he is worthy of a big contract.

He led the Boston Celtics in an overtime win by contributing    38 points, I guess this is his best game so far this season.
With this contribution, I think the Celtics will find a way to give Schröder more touches on the ball.

Dennis Schröder finally had a game that he proved he is worthy of a big contract.

yes, but that's just one game, he needs to be consistent so he will be renewed and will have a chance for a bigger contract.
I'm not sure if the Celtics had already max their salary cap, but if they want to increase Schröder, maybe trading Brown would be a good option.

yes, together with Tatum and that win really help Schröder as his effort would be useless if they lose.

Anyways, Curry is the real MVP and GSW will be the champion this season. I've seen enough, I'm convinced 100%

Celtics are not thinking of trading Jalen Brown yet, but if he is not playing based on the expectation and Dennis Schröder will continue to be consistent, then that could potentially happen.

Just to refresh how much Schröder gets playing with the Celtics.

ESPN reported the pending deal with Boston is for the $5.9 million mid-level exception. Schröder reportedly turned down a four-year, $84 million extension offer from the Lakers during the season.

He is and he is currently leading the MVP race now in the betting sites, so most likely he will win this season and that's not expected at all, I mean he is not even in the top 3.

I doubt that. It will still be Jayson Tatum who will handle their offense. Let's just say it's Schroeder's day.
In fact, he does this inconsistently so there is no way the Celtics will trust their offense on him. It's just the same as his Lakers and OKC time. He shines sometimes but then the next day he will be in the shadows again.
The face of the team will always be Tatum and they are building him just like how Kobe was built in his Lakers years.

Of course, it will still be Jayson Tatum who will be franchise player of Boston.

It's good to see though that Dennis has a break out game with the Celtics, he just need to be consistent though and really contribute whether he is the 3rd or 4th options in the team.

And if he remains consistent this season, maybe we can finally see a good salary that he is asking when he was still with the Lakers last year.

~ With this contribution, I think the Celtics will find a way to give Schröder more touches on the ball.

He must be pretty pumped right now and confident he could score against anyone. Not a bad idea to take advantage of his current form.

Odds probably dropped for GSW winning the title after a great start. Will you place bet on they once they have a losing streak? You'll most likely get better numbers when that time comes. Good luck.
