2024 NBA Season

[mavines]

I think it’s just been a little rough for Bucks, I still one way or the other tip them for this seasons NBA. Though it’s been a bit tight due to injuries and all which Phoenix Suns are currently looking composed with Golden State Warriors also at a good time but still I still tip Bucks ❤️ And With Giannis I guess we should be good.

LeBron James passed Karl Malone and became the second most scorer player of all time. I believe he will finish first before he retires. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has 38.387 points and LeBron alrady has 36.947 points. He only need one more season to become officially the most scoring player and undisputed GOAT. We are lucky to watch him since his rookie season. We witnessed how he evolved his game and attitude towards years.

I confess that we have the privilege of seeing LeBron James play in the NBA. I have no doubt that before he retires, LJ will have a good chance of overtaking Abdul-Jabbar with more points scored.
I don't know if he's the GOAT, but I have no doubt that he's the best SF ever and also the best well-arounded player (of course, that's my opinion).

Denver Nuggets are hosting Boston Celtics tonight and Celtics are being favoured by bookmakers for this one. In fact, these teams have nearly the same amount of wins in the regular season. Maybe I can give a chance to Nuggets and place a bet on their victory. It would be fun to watch the game after that. Because I don't expect Nuggets to give up on this game easily. It would be a close one. And the most scorer could be Jokic I think. His performance has been superb so far.

Look, I think it will be a balanced and interesting game.
I believe the Celtics can win this game, but we cannot underestimate the Nuggets, because they have Jokic and the game will be at the Pepsi Center, I believe this can be a differential in favor of the Nuggets.

I definitely think that the Nuggets have a good shot at victory.

Jokic is going to show out against Tatum in my opinion and is going to dominate the paint for the Nuggets.

Jayson Tatum has been on a run recently though and he is definitely not to be underestimated either, but I think that he is still some way off before he can be considered to be MVP-calibre like the Joker.

It'll be hard for anyone to make the case that LeBron isn't the GOAT after he passes Kareem on the all time scoring list.  Jordan will always be the ghost he's chasing though.  When it comes to Jordan, you have to remember the guy missed nearly 2 seasons in the middle of his prime, then retired early.  There is no doubt in my mind that if Jordan were chasing points instead of championships, he would have been the leading scorer (gambling controversy aside).  

Seeing LeBron have great games and lose shows that the NBA is not only more competitive these days, but that LeBron isn't as far ahead of his competition as Jordan was.  Even Westbrook had a good game yesterday and they still lost...  Hate to see it.

There is no doubt that LeBron is the GOAT, and he has already proved it. At the same time, I agree that Jordan was clearly at a higher level than LeBron. By the way, MJ missed 4 seasons in his career, and if he hadn't been away for so long, he could have scored over 40k points. It seems to me that it could have been quite an achievable goal for him, given that he was capable of scoring more than 28 points per game before retiring from the league.

The impact without Stephen Curry is already feel by Warriors on there todays match, They are already behind by 9pts of Spurs with 6mins time remaining in the clock on the 4th quarter. RaiP to those who bet on Warriors with negative handicap without checking the roster. I’m surprised how the odds still set up high for Spurs even though GSW is is not complete. I’m very happy for my bet to Spurs. Celebrating in advance and hoping to not jinx it.

I don’t want to jinx you but GSW manage a 9-0 run against Spurs by the time you post this. Thy are already close and the momentum is the GSW side this time. Spurs seems in panic to stop GSW on there quick attacks. I’m with GSW on this match even without SC because thompson and poole is on fire on this match. Goodluck to your bet bud!

They've lost this one and though they were struggling, they still managed to turn things around in the last minute of the 4th quarter but still the Spurs win the game. They need to fix their rotation after this because if it's not gonna work with the team like Spurs, it won't work on other teams as well.

Just like the Warriors, the 76ers also lost to the Raptors in their home court and Harden spoiled their last chance to tie the game by committing some serious foul when attacking the basket. Overall, it was a tough game for both of them, and hoping to see more games like this in the upcoming days.

But Celtics had more firepower than the Nuggets and that's why they won. They have Jaylen Brown helping Tatum while the Nuggets team are all inclined to how the Joker will play. He may be the MVP but you cannot do it all alone.
Brown and Tatum both scored 30 points. That win means of a lot for the Celtics as they are playing on the road and stole a win and they are now tied with the Bucks with 44.

But it was an ugly game and GSW lost the game, what was the referee thinking in the last seconds of the game? Calling fouls after fouls, me thinks that they want to influence the outcome of the game?

It was a good comeback and then the whistle came, Wiggins was fouled with 3 seconds left, hitting the first one, he missed the second but on the ensuing battle for the rebounds the referee called a foul on Kevin Looney.

And then Keldon Johnson for the follow, he pushed Otto Porter but there was no foul called.

LOL, I was very anxious already  because right after I published my post above, GSW is already tie the score when I watch it back especially on the last 10 sec when the a score is tie while Wiggins has 2 free throws for a chance to close the game if both shot was successful . Luckily the call on Looney as foul during the rebound saves them and an aggressive rebound shot from Johnson seal the game for the Spurs. This turn of events is really a lucky event for Spurs since the game supposedly a GSW win if the refs don’t called foul on Looney. A win is a win.

The GSW just 2 points short against the Spurs.
Josh Richardson seems a perfect compliment for Murray and I guess this young San Antonio will become great again. This only shows how great coach Pop is.
I thought the Celtics won this multi trade for acquiring Derrick White who has been doing well for the his current team now. But Josh Richardson and the Spurs just showed how to handle this young talents.
Guess the Celtics and the Spurs just found a gem with that trade.

Hmm... look, I believe that this difference is also related to the change in difficulties and in the styles that each player is.

The NBA in the past (70's, 80's, 90's) is totally different from the NBA we see today.

There are different styles of games, different difficulty levels among other attributes.
They were very fierce games and competitions and for me, the level of the players of the past, were superior to the players of today.

I don't know yet, but for LeBron James to become the GOAT, he needs to have an extremely bigger impact on the team than Jordan had on the Chicago Bulls when he was in his prime.

It's very different because the NBA now is becoming soft, players could easily make flop just to get a foul... before it's not a technique because it's a bad one. Before the game are very physical, that's why it's more exciting because we would mostly see players driving the ball to the ring.

Lebron is only good in numbers but as to impact, he cannot surpass Jordan's impact, or even Kobe.

[püsür]

Grizzlies has won without Morant. It is against a considerably weak Rockets but Rockets had some good moments to shine also had momentum behind them for a time, but Grizzlies were just better. And Rockets also was missing Eric Gordon. I actually started to like the young Rockets a lot. They might have the worst record in the league but their young players like Kevin Porter Jr., Alperen Sengun and Kenyon Martin Jr seem promising. Memphis Grizzlies seems like will hold on to the second place in the west. But things are quite hard in the west, winner of 7th and 8th match up in the playoffs still gonna be a hard series.

That's what I'm thinking also because compared to his previous Jordan and Kobe, they are willing to take the last shot but Lebron, man... he loves to pass the ball and let his teammate take the last shot, in short, he is not a clutch guy but consistency wise, he is really good.

Memphis Grizzlies seems like will hold on to the second place in the west. But things are quite hard in the west, winner of 7th and 8th match up in the playoffs still gonna be a hard series.

Even if the will fall, they'll still have a homecourt advantage, and that is good for them as they never had that in the past playoffs IIRC.

Grizzlies is actually a very deep team.

The Rockets are still a very young team and I think that they have a long way to go before they can be mature enough to win games consistently.

If the Grizz matches up against the Lakers (given that they make the play-in and proceed to the playoffs), they could have some serious issues. Even the Clippers can be enough to cause some headaches.

The same for me. They edited the rules and make it softer as if they are doing it for the players and not for the fans. Before, it was savage. Like no blood, no foul. (exaggerating) I understand they want to protect their players as if they are Hollywood now but this is a physical sport and I believe it should remain like that.
For me, being a GOAT is to overcome that and I saw MJ does things players might not do now. He had been bumped, elbowed, pushed mid-air but it doesn't let it get to his head and can still perform better. Being DPOY is also a key factor, which proves he ain't just a sword but a shield too.
Lebron James is one of the greatest but not the GOAT. Greatest in his era is a yes, but so does is Kobe in his own time.

Of course, no one compares against the GOAT, there could be arguments for Lebron but it's hard to match what Jordan has accomplished specially in his era, there are no super teams, it's just him and Scottie to some extend and then the role players.

And Jordan did stay on one team only in his prime and you can see that even if players have rotated, he bring 6 championships with an era that has so many great players, but he all deny team the most important thing, that is to win a ring.

Its undeniable that Jordan is the GOAT he don't need to move on another team just to win a championship and he has a lot of achievements compare to Lebron. Maybe new people fan kids with Lebron is over exaggerating things and think about lebron is the best since he is famous right now. But if we compare him to Jordan we can say that he's still far to surpass him.
