2024 NBA Season

[OgNasty]

Fun game by the New Orleans Pelicans versus the Chicago Bulls.
The bench players' performance in the last quarter of the game made it look like it was a regular season. 
NOP 129 - Bulls 125

The Pelicans look great, and Zion looks good (I can't tell if some weight was lost). They are a solid team and their bench looks promising too with Willy Hernangomez who won the Fiba Eurobasket MVP.
If healthy, I think they have a great chance to make a top seed. They will probably be one of the favorites this season.

I don't usually watch pre-season games because they aren't serious games. But I'm also excited at how the healthy Pelicans will end up this season. Their line-up is already good so all they need now is to perform well. I heard that Zion is on a seafood diet. Hopefully, it's not a giant octopus or tuna per meal.

Yes, Zion losing weight is one of the biggest story this season. I think he listens to Barkley's criticism that he needs to lose up that belly, and in the end it will really benefit him and his team. They have a solid line up right now that is playoff bound with him and CJ in the side.

Not only with Barkley's criticism, but he listened to everyone's suggestion that he should lose some weight to unlock his full potential. Some people might have been starting to hate the kid for becoming so fragile after reaching the NBA, but I still believe he's not a bust and he'll eventually live up to the hype he once have after the draft night.
Hoping for him to bounce back and be as durable as LeBron.

I think he is not a bust, still very young although he was out last year, he still has a lot of potential to be the next face of the NBA like Giannis before him. And it's good that the kid listens to every critics of his, like Sir Charles and the rest of the basketball fans and analyst. And so with that new bod, for sure we will see a lot of improvement, he has the moves already and the shooting touch outside, he just need to be consistent and not injury prone and we wish we can see him play full season.

Definitely not a bust.  That's ridiculous.  When he's healthy he's one of the most if not the most dominant player in the NBA...

A lot of preseason games today but none on cable TV so I won't be able to watch any.  The only one that really seems interesting is the Lakers/Suns.  Tomorrow has a couple of good games though.  Heat/Nets should be a good one as we get another look at the Kyrie/KD/Simmons lineup.  Then on ESPN you have the Lakers and Timberwolves.  That one I will probably try to catch some of.

Yep, not a bust but he was just injury prone that's why we missed him last year, those high lights dunks from him. Wonder who will be his poster victim this season.

In any case, the Kyrie/KD/Simmons is a good look again and see if the chemistry is really there or if these divas will have some problems down the line.

He have no choice but to lose weight. It is specifically written in his contract. He should weight less than 295 lbs and that his body fat is monitored. He would not want to endanger his contract by going over his weight limit.

Now that he has lost weight, I wonder if he have done it if it is not in the contract. I remember when he got first injured in his first year in NBA, there are already comments about his weight and that he should lost some. I remember a doctor explaining that Zion walk the way he walk because of his weight. But he remained the same weight until now.

We will see in regular season if this adjustment will do great in his career and if he be less prone to injury. The more games he played, the better the ranks of pelicans will be. Hopefully, he would be able to finish a season this time.

[jossiel]

It may not be over but he's running out of time. He should be tougher than he was as his stance so that scouters will get him.

He is unlucky and undrafted but not every good player gone through in draft phase.

He needs to become thick so that he is ideal to any team that will want to get him.

Kai Sotto is still in his 20 years of age and surely he needs to build up muscles for other teams to notice him that much this he is bulkier than Golden State's Patrick Baldwin jr. and I think if he could acquire faster momentum and get used to his surrounding he can surely play like Kevin Durant in my opinion, and I think my boy Kai Sotto will surely improve so much because he still has a lot of ceiling to fit up too,

Yeah, that's what he needs to build up. Some muscles and adopt the quick plays so that the scouters won't have any doubt on him that he can go par with the other league's big man.

I'm thinking of him of becoming like the Nowitzki but he really needs to push some thickness on his body and practice more outside shooting. It's like going in and out the ring so that he'll be desirable to be taken by most teams.

Yeah to call him a bust at this point is definitely an over exaggeration at this point.  He does/did kind of have that Greg Oden could be a bust type of feel, but I have much higher hopes for Zion than I ever did for Oden ( Looked like he was 55 years old when he played for Ohio State). 

Watched some of the Bulls Pelicans game last night.  Zion looked solid.  Definitely looks like he did some great offseason conditioning.

The motivation for losing weight is probably 10% health and 90% money hehe.

....

In any case, the Kyrie/KD/Simmons is a good look again and see if the chemistry is really there or if these divas will have some problems down the line.

Problems usually arise among these "value" players when they start losing badly. I get it that Kyrie or KD also hate losing but a lot of players always looks for someone or something to blame for their poor results. Not really taking much responsibility for the loss.

He got damn huge potential even if he didn't meet yet the expectation of the fans. And he's body built is cool now that means he really work hard to get more better performance next season opener. He's performance recently is really great and maybe we can see him giving quality buckets to his team since he looks very healthy by watching play vs bulls.

Alot of players have their own prime time and also have their deform period, it's actually facts in the game and can not be changed. When a team loses, they points out blame to each other instead of accepting defeats and move on. In the case of Kyrie, he needs more time to get back into shape and having a regular playing time to improve his performance in games. We all know that he's one of the sharp player in his team and some managers can't afford to lose him to his opponents.

Indeed he will be one of the dominant players this season if he keeps that type of body because he will not be prone to more injuries anymore, especially his lower body which receives all the weight.
He can jump, he can shoot, and he is agile. It's not every day you will find a player who is multitalented like him.

Russell Westbrook just registered his first attempt in long distance and it was a score. Better, it was a 4-point play.
There's a change as I checked, he didn't jump too high. Whatever his training is, it's working.

[inthelongrun]

Have you guys watched the games today? The Phoenix Suns just won by 4 points after overtime against the Los Angeles Lakers. CP3 is still showing signs of his greatness. He is amazing.

The Lakers meanwhile are starting to get it together. Bron is back with limited minutes but was performing well. It is Westbrick that wasn't doing well. This guy needs to stop taking volumes of shots, this isn't OKC where it didn't mind losing games. AD as LA was able to ma hasn't played with an injury.

They just need to move forward and forget about that bad performances, as long as they are willing to let go and come back strong.

with regard to Nets stars, they are still part of the top NBA stars and with them playing healthy, winning chance still high
as long as they are aiming with same goal together, no more attitude issue just enjoy playing together.

[Japinat]

It's really looking like NBA will be another boring season if this is how it goes. Some teams have a huge cap problem, but they do not care and pay the luxury tax thanks to rich owners, and some teams do not even try to win, they just give up before the season starts.

So, we are going to watch maybe like 2-3 teams to win, and we are going to see the rest to be either tanking, or trying to stay in playoff spot, but not even have a contending chance. That's not going to cut it anymore, this needs to change, it has been like this nearly for 10 years, we really need teams that could rival each other, not move away from each other, it really sucks this way.

I think it's going to be a lot better than the years where Golden State had all of their current players including Kevin Durant, or when Lebron "took his talents to south beach" and he, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh all completely dominated.  At least we don't know for sure what teams is going to win, because for a while there we did and it was ruining the game of basketball.  At least for me anyhow.

I agree. The NBA was LeBron vs the Warriors for like half a decade. Before that it was a half decade of LeBron vs whoever gets out of the west. I have no idea who will be in the Finals this year, but I know there are a lot of teams like the Pelicans and the Bucks that have potential to create some matchup nightmares. Then there’s the Heat and Sixers who could stumble their way to the Finals. Out west is a little less competitive, but we need to see if PG and Kawhi are truly healthy and if the Lakers are back in championship form before handing the Warriors the ring.

That only shows how great LeBron James is on his prime years especially those time when he carried the Cleveland to the Finals, luckily the Warriors found the right players for the team and managed to match-up LeBron that's why most of the time, it's them against LeBron.

I agree with the Pelicans, Bucks and Sixers, and I heard that the Bucks is nearing to close the trade between the Jazz to get Jordan Clarkson, he will be a good additional from the bench. But Miami Heat? I know that they can get their way to the top but the problem with them is the consistency because eventually, Butler will end up carrying the team again.

[mirakal]

The game is not that interested when the superstars aren't playing because we can't really feel the intensity if the lead players aren't there. But these pre-season games are also good because the other players in the roster can establish their skills to the public and it's a good warm-up for both teams before the season will start, formally.

Also, just like what you've said, pre-season games don't really matter so it's not really embarrassing if Bucks or Grizzlies will get defeated. But speaking of embarrassment this pre-season games, it's hard not to mention the Phoenix Suns because they got defeated and bullied by a non-NBA team named Adelaide 36ers especially when the trio of the Suns was there playing. Can't really imagine what the Point God, CP3 felt after the game.

Yup! I really don't think much about the Preseason game for the NBA and It really doesn't matter for them to lose the game aswell but showing their bench players their ability for the team and putting up teams up that the team also isn't using much and seeing their chemistry as well,

Well that game is also a preseason and I don't really know if the Phoenix Suns intentionally lost to the Adelaide 36ers as I mention the Phoenix Suns also just using the bench players for this game it is like they are really underestimating the Adelaide 36ers, but the fans of the Phoenix Suns is not happy about them losing to a non-NBA team like that they should have put in the effort of just winning,

Right, that game is not that important and pre-season was created to give time for each team to establish their plan and to know if it's good or not to draw it again. Just like the game of Lakers and Kings, the Lakers lost the game but their starters played for just 15 minutes or less and then they let the bench players play right after while the Kings let their starting five play all the way. There's indeed a difference, people should know that it's not that important including the Sun's situation versus the 36ers.

[OgNasty]

Kendrick Nunn looked great today for the Lakers in their game against the Suns. He was the missing piece last year and healthy he’s a great addition. He shot 8 for 13 and 4 for 7 from 3 point range to get 21 points. I think LeBron is going to love passing the ball out to him this year. If AD can stay healthy I think they have a shot.

Yes, I think Nunn could be a good part of the starting five for this year, giving them solid numbers as last year I do agree that he could be the missing piece but he is not healthy. Just entertaining to see Pat Bev and Westbrook, their intensity though, bumping chest, Lol.

Still the eyes is on Westbrook, ft airball? but going 2 of 2 in threes if I'm not mistaken. Lebron one feet three? Is he developing a new shot at this arsenal?

It's true, but for me this is a good chance to see how the player chemistry is, and of course if they are going to win their new team mates. I remember last year with the Lakers line up, highly anticipated and we say that it is not that important, as the impression on them is just like half baked. But look at how the team turns out to be in the regular season, but we can argue that it was due to injuries to their franchise like AD and Lebron that really contributed to their downfall.

[freedomgo]

I still remember the time where it was Cleveland and Golden State that is playing in the NBA Finals for, I think 4 years or even more.
That's more boring that what currently the state of NBA is right now. At least this time, we don't know which teams will fight in west and in the east. The team that we keep saying will dominate are the ones who will be eliminated in the playoffs.

Right, there's nothing interesting in the regular games in that specific time because we know that it's always Cleveland Cavaliers or Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors will face each other on the Finals. At least now the upcoming season is much more interesting because there's a lot teams on the league now who can keep up with other stronger teams. There's a lot of prospects on which team will go to the playoffs and that makes things hard to say which team will survive up until the Finals.

[Vaculin]

I think the Lakers is not the organization that develops young guns but just acquires stars that will secure them championships immediately. They are not the type of team that wants to go through rebuilding.

Agree with that, they are a team that can afford to sign superstars, so why would they start with the young guns? They were able to do that with Kobe, he got O'neil, and when O'neil left the team, they got Gasol and Odom. Now that they have Lebron James, they'll make sure that he will be surrounded by great star players and they won't mess up again this season for sure.

Lakers are a big business organization, so they are capable of hiring and signing players and every piece that they are needed
to be there and be a good, competitive team.

Like both of you, we already did it before and they can redo things if they need to do it. We will see if how they will perform
this season if they will come up with good chemistries and good bond together.

With the new head coach, it will be a big challenge for all of them. Fans and critics are all watching with how they will perform.

No doubt, the Los Angeles Lakers is a kind of team who will exhaust its resources just to find that player they needed even if the contract will be expensive, they'll find way. For now, the management will be watching closely if it's time to rebuild the whole team again or anything that will increase their chances in participating the championship round and win it. The team is currently made up of point guards, let's see how would the new coach handle that and the expectation that he needed to meet.

They will surely observe and see how the fans will react to this current roster that they've got. Anything that can create good
impacts on their chance will be discussed for sure.

Not sure if the current squad is good enough and if how the new coach will handle the pressure, especially you've got superstars
that you need to work with.

More on how he will drive the team and how he will earn the respect of each player that will going to play with him.

Darvin Ham's situation is quite similar to the temporary coach of the Boston Celtics, but the latter is much more difficult because he need to duplicate Ime Udoka's performance or better than that while Darvin Ham's situation is how to get these team full of point guard to work as one while thinking not to overload AD's shoulder so that he could play much longer. There's a chance but coach Ham need to find that key.

They may face the same situation this season. I mean, we don't know when injuries will hit them, especially for Lebron who is getting older. The Lakers should try not to expect too much from him and do what they can to also lead the team.
Austin Reaves for example, he may not be putting much in the score sheet but we can see his presence on the court.
Offensive rebounds, steals, and defense, he is everywhere and will be a pest to every offensive player that he will face.
Davis though will be a big help if healthy for the whole year.

Lebron would not be easily injured if he will not be too offensive, I mean like driving the ball to the basket. His role should be the point guard, with that, he can just find his open teammates that will create the shots for the team. Lebron is not yet injury prone, he might be older already but Davis was way more injury prone than him, so there's nothing to worry, I'm more worried about Davis.
