2025 NBA Season

[LogitechMouse]

Goodness gracious, Denver Nuggets are so kind that they've given the first-ever win for the Lakers. Kidding Aside.
I thought that the Nuggets would be able to catch up with the lead of the Lakers but that's it, it seems an achievement and many are happy with this win for the Lakers.
We are wishing them that this should be the motivation on them to get their next wins.

Best game of Russ so far this season with 18-8-8. A close triple-double for him.
Lebron and AD are consistent in their 6 games though AD didn't play some games due to injury.

It's good to see them getting their first victory after losing 5 straight, and the whole Crypto.com Arena is very happy to see their team win. This is what I love with the Lakers. Their fans are still happy and still excited to watch their team even though they have so much drama that's been surrounded to them.

Looks like the performance of Westbrook this game is the turning point of this game. If he plays well all-around, the Lakers have a higher chance to win and vice-versa. I watched the game on live and I saw on Coach Malone's face just when the game is ending. A face of frustration and he just put his hands up high.

True, but there were scary moments, when they were leading 13 points in the last 4 minutes, suddenly the Denver team went on a 6-0 run. They almost made it even further, but they play good defense, stopping the run when Porter missed a ill fated 3 point shot, complete airball.

And that what they needed, play good defense, pass the ball around and not choke on the last couple minutes of the game.

So finally they had their first win, good thing I didn't bet on this match, thinking of betting for the Nuggets to win by handicap. So far the fans of the Lakers team, this is a relieved seeing them getting their first win this season.

yeah, good to see they finally have a win, but hopefully we will not anymore see a losing streak after this week. It wasn't really a dominating win, they still showed their weakness, but of course, a win is a win, and congrats to them. Next, they'll be up against the Pelicans, that's a tough team, sure it's not gonna be easy for them.

Yep, good to see that they finally have a W in their score, but it's just the beginning for them.

And yes, Pelicans just beat the other Los Angeles team, so they want to get a back to back win here. And Zion is back so it will be a tough match up for Davis if he will go against him in their games.

Still the microscope is on Westbrook, he still need to produce good numbers and not commit a lot and costly errors.

Their weakness is only in the offensive end. Because, defensively they are easily top 5 this season. They have worked harder on defense that they tend to forget how to score. When they become consistent in scoring shooting at a high percentage field goals and play defense like they used to this season, they'll become a tough team to beat.
They have celebrated Hamm's first win as a head coach like they've won the finals, well good for them they needed this kind of energy to start to move things around and start getting more W's.

Based on the highlights and the reply here, it seems that WB provide good game today,

Lakers manage not to choke even Nuggets did try to rally back and try to snatch this game from them.

Oh yes, Zion is back and he let the team feel his presence by adding decent stats today. The system is really working for
the NOP as they are sharing the ball, They are good both offense and defense..

Congrats to all who ride with both Lakers and NOP today, a risky pick, but the earnings are really decent.

[YuginKadoya]

Here are my picks for tomorrow's game

Washington Wizards VS Philadelphia 76ers

The stake odds for this game are 2.55 for the Wizards and 1.54 for the 76ers, I think the Wizards will be having trouble with the 76ers, but right now Joel Embiid is questionable if he can play, but I think the team will decide to let him play for me even without Joel Embiid my pick are still the 76ers,

Charlotte Hornets VS Sacramento Kings

The stake odds for this game are 2.00 for the Hornets and 1.84 for the Kings, for this match I think the Hornets are doing much great than the Kings, right now they are doing fine than the Hornets so my pick is the Sacramento Kings,

Toronto Raptors VS Atlanta Hawks

The stake odds for this game are 1.57 for the Raptors and 2.48 for the Hawks, Right now Otto Porter Jr. can not play against the Hawks, and might return on November 4, while Bogdan Bogdanovic can not play for the Atlanta Hawks and might return on November 2, for me, Bogdanovic is a big loss for the Hawks, so my pick will be the Raptors,

Utah Jazz VS Memphis Grizzlies

The stake odds for this game are 2.35 for the Jazz and 1.63 for the Grizzlies, right now there are 3 who can not play for the Jazz, Rudy Gay, Simone Fontecchio, and Walker Kessler, while Ja Morant is questionable if he can play, and there are many players that can not play for the Grizzlies, Danny Green, Ziaire Williams, and Jaren Jackson Jr. for me I like how the Utah Jazz is playing right now so my pick are the Utah Jazz,

You can really see that they are been hype for the win they got and looks like they win a a spot on playoffs for achieving 1 win today. For sure those win could wake up their spirit and they might bring the same energy on their next game. If Lakers can win for second time around against Pelicans for sure those people who doubt then think about that they might not reach in playoffs again will change their outlook towards them.

It is nice to see the Lakers get a W finally. They were led by Russell Westbrook having a good shooting night off the bench as the Lakers second unit destroyed the Nuggets’ all night. A nice picture of what the Lakers are capable of.

Yes! Actually, I'm happy to finally see the Lakers with that win from Nuggets. This is the game of Lakers that we want to see from different opponents and hopefully, this is the start of it and reversed streak.

I was also surprised to see the Warriors lose to the Pistons and go below .500 on the season now. Klay Thompson needs to get healthy both physically and mentally so he can return to the court.

That was a good start for the Warriors in the first quarter and in the second quarter, Cunningham saw the momentum. And for the third quarter, that was likely when they become confident that it was the moment that they should continue with the lead. Sad day for the Warriors, will they come back on Wednesday against Heat? For sure.

Maybe good but not the same warriors we saw before, Warriors are a good 2nd half team, especially the 3rd quarter so they usually win games. Well, they might have a bad start now but I'm pretty sure they'll be able to make the right adjustment to be consistent in winning again.

I also hope to see them win in their next game so that the critics will gonna moved on with other stuffs in the NBA because right now, most of the topics are pointing to them. Whenever they messed up, it will automatically the headlines and when they finally won their first game last night, they need to follow it up and gonna make more wins than losses from now on to keep moving forward and have a chance to enter the NBA playoffs this year.

[inthelongrun]

Crazy start of the NBA season. I'm losing badly once again with my bets. So far it's only the Milwaukee Bucks, Boston Celtics, and Phoenix Suns that are consistent. While Cleveland Cavaliers, Portland Trail Blazers, and San Antonio Spurs are to a great start although it is still too early to tell. Many expected top teams are struggling too with Miami Heat and Los Angeles Clippers at the bottom. If this trend continues, I expect more trades to happen before the deadline.

[wheelz1200]

Shocker from the Lakers, of all tas they beat the Nuggets.  I mean it was bound to happen let's see where they go from, from here.  Somehow they need to add a shooter to space the floor.  Lakers shot decent from behind the arc last night but they need that night in night out if they want to compete.  I'm not buying it.

[Japinat]

Another game tomorrow for the Lakers, still against the Nuggets, so we can assume that it's another massacre? I'm guessing, their losing streak will continue after this game as they have no answer on this good team, I hope I'm wrong because I want to see their cold streak end.

Had expected the same situation because they've been defeated by the Nuggets already in their first encounter this season but this time was different, it's like they suddenly found their correct routine and synch. Westbrook bounced back too and almost got a triple double coming from the bench, surely that's shocking enough. Let's see if they can repeat their play in the next game against the Pelicans.

[Vaculin]

It will be on Monday against the Denver Nuggets and this team isn't going to go easy on them as they also have a good run at the first games that they've got unlike the Lakers.

The Nuggets are a pretty strong team, and the Lakers will probably play without Davis again. So it will be quite expected if the Lakers' losing streak increases to 6 games in a row. Honestly, it's a pity that Davis is so prone to injury. He can really be an effective player, but he misses games due to injuries once again, although the regular season has just begun. This looks like an unsolvable problem both for himself and the team.

It will be another disappointing match if that's the case, and I agree that the Nuggets are a strong team and there's no doubt about that. The same with the Laker's struggle is the Brooklyn Nets which is having the impression of a strong team. Well, we're having super-strong teams that struggle in their early matches. They're 1-5 and that's one win lead against the Lakers. 

Glady they managed to break their losing streak but it was a tough challenge for them because the Nuggets is a strong team leaded by Jokic and Murray. Now the Nets and Lakers are tied in terms of their standings, Brooklyn Nets next opponent is still the Pacers. What do you think, will they defeat the Pacers this time? Or we might see another defeat?

[Kasabus]

It's good to see teams that are at the bottom last season like Orlando, Detroit, Sacramento and Houston getting their first win after 4-5 games.
It's also good to see teams that we know that are tanking this season having more than win like OKC who has now 3 and Utah that now has 4.

Seeing the Lakers, the only team right now that still has no win is a pain in the eye and seeing Davis getting injured again and didn't play against the TWolves is a problem for them. Well, looking at their roster alone is enough to say that they can't be a playoff contender and Lebron can't carry the team anymore which is understandable knowing he already is 39 years old. His aim this season is to beat Kareem's scoring record which is achievable.

I might disagree to what @Russlenat said that the Nets are way better than the Lakers. The Nets have way better roster than the Lakers, but they still only have 1 win out of their 6 games and currently they are at the last spot. I mean yes, the Lakers doesn't have a win yet, but it will not stay like that forever because for sure they will get a win. Many are rooting for the Nets to win a title this season because of how good their roster is, and they are the top 3 in the sportsbook in the teams who will be most likely to win the title and yet they are performing like this. It's my opinion only though and for me, the Nets are worse than the Lakers.

It's always expected of Davis to get injured, that's the thing he does, ever since he became a player in NBA he has always been injured, there is a way of his body that just doesn't compute with each other and that causes him to be injured all the time.

It's just not possible for Lakers to fight for a win with this roster, they knew this, they were aware that their team sucked, they realized last year that this team can't really win much, and even with that info they still ended up playing with the same roster for some reason I do not know. I know that it's not that hard, but I believe that trades needs to be done in order for Lakers to get better. They need to get rid of Westbrook for starters, that's the biggest problem.

That said, they should have another reliable big man that will replace AD whenever he's injured or to ease his load a bit per game because they surely know that AD is really prone to such injuries. He is still young but the built of his body is not very suitable in intense games especially if it's a consecutive games like playoffs, Conference Finals and Finals. They have a chance, but they couldn't reach far if one of their reliable players will be injured because LeBron now cannot carry the team anymore.

They need to bring that spirit and the teamwork for them to make another win. Today's game silent the critics, but for sure they are just
waiting for another loss from the Lakers and those hates will flow back.

Against the Pelicans where Zion is back, it's another challenge for the Lakers, though seeing the fun inside the locker room means a lot
for this team.

They are building good relationships and it can be converted to good chemistries inside the court, both offensive and defensive role
is very important in each game that they will play together.

That's a winnable game for the Nets.  I expect them to not go through long droughts.  They have shooters and scorers around the whole team.  They just need to get it together, the Lakers don't have that luxury so they will go on these tear of 4, 5 game losing streaks regularly.  But hey who knows its early still.

I would guess that it’s not going to be that easy to get a reliable big man. Dwight Howard is still free agent as far as I know and I do not understand why he is not picked up, for that case Melo is still free agent as well. Instead of forcing them to early retirement, they could just hire them and put them in the bench and even if they do not play any meaningful minutes, they could be getting like 5 minutes per game to keep fresh and always be there, which would give them a good training as well.

If any player gets injured badly, they would have a backup plan with these two, and they would come out and play 15-20 minutes instead of 5 minutes in case of an injury.

[wheelz1200]

Looking at the near term upcoming schedule for the Knicks it's gonna be a tough one.  They have a glaring hole at shooting guard.  Quentin Grimes looks promising but has been injured all year so far.  East looks wide open in tws of 3rd through 10th spots in the east.  Bucks are gonna ride the top but lots of mediocrity so far.
