2024 NBA Season

Miami Heat lost at the last position to Sacramento Kings, while missing 11 players. They fought hard considering that much of a missing players and the rookie Omer Yurtseven had a big night with 22 points 16 rebounds including 6 offensive reb. But Sacramento held on at the last minute. Thus, Miami is 23-14, .622. I really wonder where will they be in the playoffs and how far can they go.

They fought well considering how many players are missing in their roster. Butler, Herro, and Lowry paved the way but it's just not enough to defeat the speed and firepower of the Sacramento Kings. Omer Yurtseven. He performed good tonight and was filling the hole that Bam Adebayo left. 4th consecutive double digits in both points and rebounds while 8th for rebounds only. I can tell the future is bright for him if he keep this up and a lot of room for improvement for the Turkish player. Gain experience and respect from the officials because there's a lot of calls that was missed.

Omer Yurtseven, this guy really stepped up big time. I don't know him but when he played really well I can tell this future is bright, he is still young and I hope he will continue to play like this so he can be a big help to his team, due to this covid-19 cases, some players are giving a good playing time and their talent was unlocked.

Yeah and we've seen former NBA players being tap to play again, so that is the extend of what covid-19 did to the NBA. On the flip side though, we've seen not known players stepping up like in this case Omer Yurtseven who is unheard of by contributing big time and so his coach take notice of him and for sure he will be given more minutes in their next game because the kid has talent indeed.

LA Lakers didn't have a very comfortable game against Minnesota Timberwolves last night but they still managed to be the winner. It was a 108-103 victory for them and Westbrook's contribution also helped them win this one. Lebron was the most scoring player as always but this time he couldn't score more than 30 points. But in this kind of situations, Lakers need an extra help from the remaining players. Westbrook and Monk were there to be helpful for it.

They would not survive against a stronger team, they are still not a good team despite they win this game and their standing this season is very poor. I like to see them winning against a stronger team, not a team that will barely qualify in the playoffs. They will be playing the Kings in their next game, let's see if they can continue their win streak.

Raptors are completely destroying Knicks now. There is a point gap of more than 20 points now. Raptors really needed a this kind of win actually. Knicks are so bad at defending now. And so far, VanVleet has been the star of the night. He scored 35 points so far. And he has a 11/17 field goal made. This is his best performance so far in this season I guess. I saw him scoring 31 points the most so far.

Raptors PG VanVleet was really a the star during the game vs NY Knicks, he leads the team until the end and made 35 points in his 31 minutes play, ofcourse we can't deny Siakam's play that helps securing their win who also made 14 rebounds and 7 assists. Currently, Raptors are on the 10th spot of the Easter Conference and they really need to win their upcoming games if they really want to be in the playoffs this season. Their next opponent is against SA Spurs and I think that they wouldn't be having a hard time as they have what it takes to defeat to defeat the Spurs.

But the question is, can they maintain their effort and continue to streak? As the next 2 games after the Spurs would be hard for them as they are going to play against Bucks and Jazz on the same week.

Kings is a dangerous team just like the Wolves that they have a game. If not for their homecourt, I think they can lost that lead in the fourth quarter and collapse again.

The game will be in Staples against the Kings, but still this is not a sure win for the Lakers. Monk has been contributing lately and so is James having a NBA numbers in like in the last 5 games. But others need to step up, Russ should limit his turnovers and Anthony should shoot high percentage again for the Lakers to win against the Kings next game.

It must be mentioned a lot in here enough but nevertheless I can't get over how cool it was that DeRozan hit two buzzer beaters back to back in two days. He has grown so much this season as in being a very solid scorer and a very dependable player. Bulls are 24-10 right now. They will still get over the Bucks to get to NBA Finals and still, if they can get to the finals, the team from western conference will be a very strong opponent. I feel like a team from west might get the championship this year.

He is playing like when he was in Toronto where him and Lowry are the leaders of the team.
In fact, he is the first player in NBA history that did 2 consecutive buzzer beaters and to do that is very hard. It just shows how the Bulls are trusting him in the most crucial seconds of the game.

The Bulls is a playoff contender no doubt about it but I don't think that they are enough to win a championship. I mean there is the Suns team and another is the Bucks and another is the Warriors and the Nets team. Well, its too early to predict but what can I say is that the Bulls are just one of the most surprising teams right now alongside Cavaliers .

They are now in the conversation in the NBA Finals because they are really doing very well. DeRozan and Lavine, these two will be unstoppable in the playoffs, and as long as their teammates will also contribute especially their big man, their lineup is strong enough to beat the Nets and the defending champion.

I think I'll fade that Lakers that time, Kings beat the Heat, so their chances to beat the Lakers is high IMO. I am not yet impressed with what the Lakers are showing despite winning some games lately because before this two win streak, they were in a losing streak even against a weaker teams.

The only way the lakers can win this year is if ad gets healthy and they get Russ to come off the bench with Melo. They kept struggling against a short handed team. On the other hand, it will sure be difficult for Lakers to win the championship with Westbrook.  All I want right now is just need Westbrook to be good at moving the ball in offense and guarding at defense.

DeRozan has evolved a lot in the past few seasons and especially this season he has been amazing so far for the  Bulls. Scoring two consecutive buzzer beaters is no joke, neither is it luck. It's a pure skill in my eyes. We know that players like Curry or Harden are quite good in terms of scoring buzzer-beaters, but I don't think they have scored 2 in a row.

And the Bulls seem like a solid team so far this season, but I think GSW or Nets have a better possibility of winning the title in my opinion. But only time will tell how well the Bulls do.

DeRozan is just an underrated player, he improved more with the Spurs and now he is showing what he learned and bringing his team to success, and with good chemistry among his teammates, it's not impossible that the Bulls now will become a championship team. DeRozan and Lavine, are the splash brothers version of the Warriors Curry and KT.

[gagux123]

^Yes, good game for Melo. There's still a lot of cleaning up with the Lakers plays. I have seen a lot of bad turnovers that are hard to swallow. It's not the typical one where you could say it's because of the fast pace of the game. They got reckless especially on those last minutes of the game.
Lebron didn't have the 30+ points but he did great by leading his team. If this continues, they might get the chemistry that they wanted with him leading the way.
On the other hand, I have read some fans saying they just won because KAT and DLo are out but it's part of the game, and if ever they played it will also be a different Lakers that will face them.

Yes definitely!
Melo is helping the Lakers a lot, I even imagine he could play as a starter in some games.
Other players I would like to see stand out that were MVP level is IT and Drose.

Amazingly, but I believe LeBron will be able to lead the Lakers into the playoffs, maybe 6th, 7th or even 8th place.
I believe this is the main scenario for the Lakers these days.

I partly agree with the Westbrook case, as I have said, he is scoring his usual triple double, but they are losing games because of his turnovers. But if he can limit himself or stop like trying to do everything, as he no longer his prime. He can still drive with speed but this time, someone is going to met him up and most likely he will used his left or totally miss it (at least that's what I noticed him in Lakers uniform). And then we all know that he doesn't have a good shooting form specially his 3 point shot. Maybe him coming off the bench is a good solution or he should get limited minutes and let Lebron close out the show for the Lakers.

It was a decent game for the Lakers but even though they won, I think that there is still room for improvement. They have improved a lot after they had a terrible start to the season, but the chemistry needs to be more compact and fluid.

WB is giving away quite a few turnovers and he needs to work on it and Kebron is as always the goat of the team. Scoring, assisting, taking rebounds, in a word - doing everything everywhere on the court.  The game against the kings should be a win for the Lakers in my opinion. If WB and others can somewhat assist Lebron, they should not have a problem beating the Kings.

All they have to do is to maintain the consistency, without it, their chance to be in the NBA Finals this season will also be uncertain. They are a team that does not play with good chemistry, Lebron and Westbrook cannot carry this team as Westbrook is sometimes inconsistent, so it's hard to expect that they'll continue winning as I've seen in their previous games how they lose in easy opponenents.

Miami Heat lost at the last position to Sacramento Kings, while missing 11 players. They fought hard considering that much of a missing players and the rookie Omer Yurtseven had a big night with 22 points 16 rebounds including 6 offensive reb. But Sacramento held on at the last minute. Thus, Miami is 23-14, .622. I really wonder where will they be in the playoffs and how far can they go.

They fought well considering how many players are missing in their roster. Butler, Herro, and Lowry paved the way but it's just not enough to defeat the speed and firepower of the Sacramento Kings. Omer Yurtseven. He performed good tonight and was filling the hole that Bam Adebayo left. 4th consecutive double digits in both points and rebounds while 8th for rebounds only. I can tell the future is bright for him if he keep this up and a lot of room for improvement for the Turkish player. Gain experience and respect from the officials because there's a lot of calls that was missed.

Missing that many players is always very unfortunate and this type of result was somewhat predicted. But, I have to say that Heat gave the Kings a very hard time as the score difference at the end of the game was only 2. Omer Yurtseven had a very good game and I can say that he has the potential to go a long way.

I just hope that the missing players can return as soon as possible otherwise the Miami Heat will be in great trouble. Alongside Omer Yurtseven, Butler and Herro also had a good game but it was not enough for them to take home the win.

You know, that was such a flawless win for the Raptors .

VanVleet played just an insane game, not? What a lad ! ! The knicks were very lackluster in their defense and gave the Raptors a lot of space which is very disappointing.
Their next game is against Spurs and I'm hopeful that they will be able to win that one if VanVleet can hold onto his insane form .

But Sacramento held on at the last minute. Thus, Miami is 23-14, .622. I really wonder where will they be in the playoffs and how far can they go.

There's still plenty of time, the Miami Heat will eventually find a way to win and to stay in the playoffs spot. For sure they will not allow to miss the playoffs and with the ongoing health protocol impose in all teams I guess, they are not the only ones who are affect, other teams as well, so just relax, they'll bonce back for sure.

I mean the Heat has still a decent record isn't it? So there's no need for concern right now for sure every team in the NBA is suffering for the health and safety protocol that's why we seldom see a team really in 100% capacity. And I agree that this is just one lost, and for sure they have a lot of time to bounce back again and be in the playoffs this season with Butler still the leader of this team.

No team has been excused for the health and safety protocol, it's just a normal news this season. The Heat was having a 5 consecutive wins if I remember it correctly before they've been defeated against the Kings, and surely the Heat does really have a decent record and placed 4th in the Eastern Conference with a sure seat in the playoffs this season. Their recent match against the Kings was just a 2 points difference and it's not a very bad loss after all. Their next game is against the GSW, let's see how will they manage it given that they have a lot of missing players.

[agustina2]

They are now in the conversation in the NBA Finals because they are really doing very well. DeRozan and Lavine, these two will be unstoppable in the playoffs, and as long as their teammates will also contribute especially their big man, their lineup is strong enough to beat the Nets and the defending champion.

I think that was just too much for an upgrade.

Being a playoffs contender is different from Finals. I know and realized that Chicago Bulls are doing great this season but I don't want to raise my expectations to them. I still can't see them beating either Nets or the Bucks in a series match.

Too early to discuss their journey in Playoffs or Finals. Let's wait until the 3/4 of the season.
