2024 NBA Season

[skscengeng]

After seeing Boston Celtics' performance against Golden State Warriors, I felt like that they would win a game very soon. Because they made really big difficulties for Golden State in general. And their next game was going to be vs New York Knicks. This was a very competitive game last night and Celtics really managed to be the victor by 114-107. There was a really good team play from Celtics.

Celtics are good at home and Knicks aren't really a great team like the Warriors. They needed that win because they have been losing games especially in the road and good thing they made it although it wasn't as dominant as what we are expecting from a home team.

Tatum, Brown, and Richardson, all 3 scored over 20 points and that was great teamwork from them.

Hopefully, Richardson will give a consistent production like what he gave in the succeeding games.

True, Celtics needed that win, and good thing they get the support of Richardson.

Before that big win, they on lose against the Warriors and 3 straight losses on the road.
Celtics now are only in the rank number 8 with 15-15 win-oss record, not their usual ranking compared to the previous seasons.


About the Cleveland Cavaliers, haven't we noticed that they are in a 6 win streak now?
They are currently rank 3rd in the East, and with 19-12 record, and with the possible struggle of the Nets without their main starters, they have a huge chance to be in the number 1 spot.

And if I'm not mistaken, I saw Kemba Walker was back in the rotation?

Wasn't able to watch the full game, only in first quarter but I never doubt that the Celtics will win this game. Randle though was even check by Tatum in the first quarter.

Not sure what happen to Randle though, it seems that he was really off in the last couple of games. There was a lot of hype around him last year with his performance but it was not seen this season.

Randle is very inconsistent, that's all I can say about him.

And yeah, I was surprised to see Walker playing, and he actually made    29 points but too unfortunate they lose.
Maybe after what he showed, we might see him getting more minutes in the coming games as long as he stay consistent producing a all star numbers.

I think what sets the Warriors apart from any other team is their team consistency and development. While star players of respective teams are expected to create and do some scoring, the whole bench of the Warriors also fulfill that role.

The best example that I could provide was the time Curry had an off-night. Though his FGs made/attempted were relatively bad, the bench did their respective jobs which managed them to snag the win.

That was Jordan Poole to be precise. Right? He did his job quite well on that moment that Steph Curry cannot find his rhythm. I think what the role players of the Warriors need the most is boost in confidence. Poole is a great player but there are times he is doubting himself and we can see that when they go beyond rotating the ball that should've been a free shot after 5-6 passes.
The same with Bjelica. I remembered the commentator saying he should shoot the ball more because he earned it after getting a lot of offensive rebounds but he just won't even though he is a good shooter. Like I said, confidence is lacking.

Brooklyn Nets have been facing covid-19 and injuries a lot. Last night, Kevin Durant couldn't play because of his ankle injury. And he is out for at least December 25 as far as I know. And James Harden was still ill. We know the Irving situation also. As a result, Nets played against Orlando being deprived of their stars. And Orlando benefited from this chance superbly by winning the game by 100-93.

We cannot just going back to normal, can't we? I especially started to follow NBA more after the pandemic and after almost 2 years since the start, even though we have games with the fans, corona still affects us and the league. Irving situation is of course huge.

Even though Orlando didn't win by a big lead, Nets without some of their important players was kind of an easy target. I wish we see those star players every chance we get.

[Vdecso]

There was a Raptors - Warriors game last night and I was favouring Raptors to win truthfully. The reason why is that Stephen Curry was having some rest and didn't play in this one. And Wiggins also was absent as he got a knee injury. Raptors got an important chance to defeat Warriors and didn't miss this golden opportunity. They won by 119-100 which was a really decent gap.

There was a time when the entire NBA community looked forward to the matchup of the Bulls vs Lakers.  I guess even as great as those two teams are, it is clear they are no dynasties.  You wouldn't have even known today's matchup was going on if you didn't look at the schedule...  Nevertheless, tonight's game is on NBATV and I'm not even sure who's playing these days with all the covid false positives and whatever other nonsense is keeping guys out of games this year.  I think it probably doesn't matter who is out anyway.  The Bulls are playing great basketball and the Lakers are trying to get by...

It will be fun to watch these two teams no matter who is going to play, these covid 19 problem does not only happen with these teams but with other teams as well, so we have no choice but to see what they can give. If I would gamble on this game, maybe I'll just wait for the game time and see if who are out so I could carefully evaluate my pick before placing it.

I just hope the important guys will be available to play.

There's only one way to find out, and that is by watching the game live before placing any bet. These days that it's very unpredictable on who are going to play, you have to be clever and don't trust the pregame betting odds, unless you have an inside info.

Is NBA 100% sure that they should continue the games as it is right now? I mean we are talking about people getting covid left and right, sure they could be feeling fine, reportedly nearly all the players who got the new variant are feeling fine and have no symptoms, so it is not life threatening as people assumed but when you have positive covid test, then that is it, you should be on personal lockdown and not talk to anyone and yes it is going to be a while before NBA gets back to normal but maybe start considering postponing some games?

I mean if they keep this going eventually it will go around the whole league and not like games are getting too much views neither. So, I am guessing that there is a good chance we may see revenue dropping if they do not postpone some games. Imagine the Nets vs Lakers Christmas game if Harden and KD is missing on one side, we know AD is missing and maybe Lebron and/or Brodie will miss too? I do not know what is going to happen then, who would watch that game?

Yeah, it was a good performance by Kemba, and he proved that he deserves a spot on the team's roster. Although I guess Thibodeau didn't particularly want to move Kemba back to the rotation. It seems to me that the coach was forced to make this decision because Derrick Rose is out at the moment.

Then this is a great opportunity for Kemba Walker to really stop up and bring a win to his team. If he doesn't want to get traded soon, he has to impress the management by putting that kind of numbers every single game, you know, he was a star back in Charlotte but he struggled a lot when he was traded.

[Yogee]

... but maybe start considering postponing some games?

They already announced games that will be postponed
https://www.nba.com/news/nba-postpones-5-upcoming-games-due-to-health-and-safety-protocols

It's an understandable move and I think that will be the strategy until the end of the season unless the latest variant will be declared as fatal. I hope none of the players will complain about load management if they play more back to back games so they could catch up.

They're getting a lot of new cases on a day-to-day basis. And I think that's very alarming for them and the live audience could add to those cases if they're not going to take it seriously. But if they say that they're isolated cases and they can handle it, well, they say so.
However, for the sake of everyone, I do agree that they should do a lockdown or quarantine for those that tested positive to avoid infection at least for the other players.

Even he's on the purpose of avoiding being included on the trading block, he can't his best if their Coach will not give him more playing time to prove that he still has that best performance. It will be a force act every time he will be put on the floor just to show he is still at his best.

Regarding his current status, even Kemba will put 30+ PPG, he's a good piece for trade. New York Knicks already started their goal of just getting young players. Kemba Walker will be an attractive offer to other teams.

You don't have to worry about their actions as NBA knows best compare to us. Before they are declaring a postponement or getting players rested because of healthy protocols, it underwent with a valid reason. They also experience before when Covid is at its peak and do such actions that are necessary. Let's just wait for their decision if a certain game will be pushed or delayed. They have good medical advisors.

NBA is doing good so far on their health protocols that even a star player is no exception.

Yes, Kemba Walker is back in the rotation and he was a starting player on that game. Kemba makes it clear, "if he's not be included as a starting, he won't play". He really takes seriously that decision of giving him fewer minutes on the floor. He was also asked if he wants to be traded and to conclude, he just wants to go with the flow as he believes in himself he still has lots to give in.

About Randle, he is good but there are really times sometimes he is on off-night performance. In that game, he scored 20 points but that was on 6 out of 19 field goals attempt. He also has that mentality on Kobe that even in the worst shooting, he needs to continue on it. Sometimes that mentality is not good as if a player feels off-night, then allow his teammates to cover that hole.
