2024 NBA Season

[mirakal]

If the Lakers go bad like this, it seems like the Clippers will come to mind when Los Angeles is mentioned 🤔
Miami may not be a bad team, but they lost to Utah and the Clippers in their 3-game away series, but they beat the Lakers.
In the Lakers' Miami match, LeBron James appeared to be far from the contribution he should have made. Maybe he made 9 assists, but the 12 points he scored caused the loss.
In Miami, 8 players scored in double figures and although Anthony Davis was the top scorer of the match, Miami won the match 96-110.
With this result, the Lakers suffered their 3rd consecutive loss. He will play at home against Memphis on Saturday. If he loses this game, the next game will be the Clippers game and that game will be very difficult anyway.

It's unusual to see LeBron score only 12 points in a game. It was clearly a bad day for him, as he couldn't make most of his shots.
Anyway, the Lakers need to find the reason for their failures and make adjustments to their performance as soon as possible. Otherwise, even an underdog team like the Pistons will be a tough opponent for them.

That was his lowest output this season for sure. So I checked some of his lowest scoring, and it seems like the last time he scored 12 points was way back 2015. (https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/lowest-scoring-games-by-the-lebron-james).. So this is really an off night for him. Although his shooting is quite acceptable, just 30% or 6/18 but it's very unusual for him that he didn't have any free throw in this game.

Spurs almost upset the visiting Bucks. It was a very entertaining game and a winnable game by the Spurs.

That block of Wemby on Giannis was sick, ^{I was trying to find the picture of it and will upload here but no one has uploaded it yet.}



Another big game by Giannis, he lead the Bucks and finished with 44 points and 14 rebounds, MVP number there.

Next game is Warriors vs Nuggets, ( will start in 5 minutes)

Have fun guys!

Wemby and the Spurs made it a lot of fun against the Milwaukee Bucks and I bet the Spurs fans had a happy night even though they lost the game.
I lost my bet for the Bucks as I took the -10.5 but that's one of the exciting games that I watched. Blocks and Dunks Fest. Wemby against Giannis. Lillard versus Vassell.
TNT picked the right game to broadcast.
Wemby made a lot of additions in his highlight reel tonight. That one dunk passing Lillard and against Lopez on the rim will probably be on the top 10 highlights of the week. And then the block against Giannis while he is trying to dunk the ball.
Giannis and the Bucks won the game and I bet Giannis' competitive spirit was once again boosted after meeting Wemby, that's their first meeting and it was damn awesome. Wemby was even forced to go beyond his minutes restrictions. 24 minutes was his limit, he played 26 minutes tonight.

Yeah, it was damn entertaining. It was an upset for gamblers. -10.5 was the starting bet for the Bucks and at halftime, it was -5.5 so, still not a win.

I don't usually write fast. Probably because of excitement man.  

Everything on the spread of the Bucks from 1st to 3rd quarter was a trap. I only saw the line in the 4th when Spurs were up 3 and the moneyline odds for the Bucks was 2.20. I didn't take it though because I already had my bet on them, was hoping it will reach to OT so Bucks would have a chance to cover the high spread, but Tre Jones missed a wide 3 point shot to tie the game.

That could have make the game more entertaining. Giannis got blocked? Hmmmm.. we can't see that all the time, and coming from Wemby, it should help him boost his confidence. Wemby has the touch though, they should have set up a play for him to shoot the last shot to tie the ball game.

Another great game between the Warriors and Nuggets. Nuggets are down by a huge margin entering the 4th quarter but the Nuggets also have their own big run, and the momentum was transferred to the Nuggets. I thought that game will end in overtime but Jokic end it with his long 3 point shot.

Congratulations to the Nuggets, they showed the spirit of a champion, they never gave up although it was pretty obvious that they weren't getting calls. For the gamblers especially those who had the Nuggets -3.5, it's unfortunate that you lose your bet.

I thought that the game is over, so I stop watching because the Warriors have build like 15 point lead in the last 5 minutes or so. But when I check the score right now, the Nuggets won by 3 points. So another collapsed lost here by the Warriors in their own homecourt, but as I had said before, it's already a end of the Warriors dynasty, we don't know if Green will be back as a Warrior and so is Klay Thompson. I think if someone bet on live, and get the Nuggets in the 4th quarter when they are down, for sure they are very happy to see that they got that big comeback and huge win for them.

That was a great game winner shot and what a win for Nuggets. Gsw was surprisingly good until the last minutes. When jamal murray was on the court from the beginning to the end of the game, the nuggets were always superior. Then Murray came to the bench to rest for a while and the score went up to 107-92. Gsw was even leading by 18 points with 6 minutes left in the game. Another very disappointing end to the game for gsw. 34 games in and gsw still out of the play-in pot. Because Green still hasn't returned to the team. the dynasty could be on the verge of falling apart this year.

D'Angelo Russell might be traded or  with (+ player). I think he isn't the same anymore, at least his impact aren't that great with the LA Lakers, Reaves was even more impactful than him, so if there's a possible trade that could allow D'Angelo Russell to be out with the Lakers, I think that will happen.

That could surely happen I thought that D'Angelo Russell would be great with the LA Lakers because he got a great start on his 1st day with the Lakers but he is inconsistent with that kind of performance and he is now consistent with what he showcases now, I am really disappointed and yes Austin Reeves I never thought that he could be something like this and become more impactful with the Lakers, and I really think he got a unique touch and he reminded me of Ryota Kise on the Anime Kuroko No Basuke I think he can copy some moves and it is entertaining for him to see that,

Dejounte Murray on the other hand, his stats are quite consistent, but we are still not seeing a big impact to the Atlanta Hawks. I think Hawks are better with Trae Young being the alpha and the rest are just role players. Actually, I believe they were better before Dejounte Murray arrrived.

For sure Trae Young is quite something and just like the Golden State Warriors their core revolves around Stephen Curry and they have made a roster that could help Curry win more rings, for sure if the Atlanta Hawks could apply this and get a roster that could help Trae Young with what he does best then that Core will surely be brighter, just like what the Indiana Pacers is doing with Tyrese Haliburton they incorporated a team that has height advantage and players that can make deep threes for Haliburton to make initial passes, on what ever range he wants,

Well, it is what it is.
Jokic hit the game-winner, and I guess we don't want to call it a lucky shot, eh? He's just that good to hit that buzzer-beater.

The Warriors outscored them in the 3rd quarter, but they also got outscored in the final quarter. TBH, it's good to see Aaron Gordon back in the court already after the incident that happened to him. Gordon, Jokic, and Murray combined for 89 of the total 130 points while it's good to see the Splash Brothers doing it on offense and scoring a combined 54 points. I guess the Warriors not having Draymond Green has little to no effect on them, especially on the defense.

Speaking of defense, it's just kind of surprising to see the Milwaukee Bucks being at the bottom right now in terms of defense. I mean they're one of the top teams defensively in the past years, but ever since they got Lillard, they're now 21st in that category. It's kind of funny how the Pacers always win against them, and this season, they won 4 games out of 5 against the Bucks. I will not be surprised at all if the Pacers will beat the Bucks in the playoffs because I guess it's pretty sure that the Pacers will clinch the playoffs with how they're playing.

That game was stunning!
The Nuggets truly showed the heart of a champion in this on! Being down 105 : 123 with about 6min to go and then let the Warriors make only 4 more points is quite an accomplishment. The Warriors has 44 points in the 3rd then and 4 points in the final 6 minutes, that really is some crazy stat I think!
Jokic's last shot will surely be in every highlight reel of his career. Normally he is always very collected and almost looks bored but after this shot he went into a crazy celebration frenzy as well.

The last part was stunning and it was an amazing play by the Joker himself because he just managed to make that crucial shot and you can clearly see on his face that he was so happy he made that shot for the win. It's rare to see someone who made that shot live especially when the game is tied and they only have a few seconds to take the shot. But that's not a wonder for the NBA because they cannot be given enough space or else they sink the shot in your face and win the game.

I just now saw the highlight of what happened. I turned the game off with a few minutes left because Denver was down by so much that I threw in the towel despite having multiple parlays depending on the outcome of the game. Now I see they made a miraculous comeback and got the win. Can’t say I’m mad at it. Joker came through in the clutch.

Wemby shows unselfish ball game, a good trust to his teammate who's more open compared to him, though he can force that shot if he
thinks he can do it, just so happen that the shot did not went thru a possible OT.

But that block from Dame and Giannis both are crucial and that 3 points to tie the game, just don't have enough player to match against the star duo
of Milwaukee.

But for sure those who take the handicap for Spurs and all the fans who watch the game all enjoyed what they've showed for today's game.

Yeah, everyone who bet on the Denver might have lost hope already with the Warriors building a double digit lead in the 4th. But Denver being the defending champion and obviously, the mentality to make this kind of comeback in the 4th quarter.

And also good game between the Bucks and Spurs, game is also undecided till the last seconds of the game. First good matchup between Giannis and Wemby, Giannis getting the win but that block against Giannis is the highlights of the game. Just show that Wemby is not to be intimidated by anyone, not even the Greak Freak.

So true! I am also amazed at how the Warriors shut down Jokic on that third-quarter run. Saric was the key player in that, he somehow managed to move his feet perfectly to dance with Jokic. Also, I am glad they know how to take advantage of their bench, I like how Steve Kerr rotated his players today. The Denver Nuggets bench was so bad so facing a good bench like the Warriors is a mismatch. The Warriors may have lost this game but they played way better and it's up against the reigning champion so it's okay. I bet Steve is happy with the results and now they will just need to learn how to keep their lead next time they meet.
That's against a full roster Nuggets so getting that 18-point lead and keeping the game close is good enough. I am a Warriors fan but I still made a bet for the Nuggets because I don't trust they could win this game.

Anyway, Jokic, that super amazing shot. It's a Hail Mary shot but it's still a basket to win the game. But their key player for today was actually Gordon, that chemistry between him and Jokic is so high that even if Jokic shuts his eyes he knows where Gordon will be.
I was actually expecting an overtime because my bet was -5.5 for the Nuggets. It didn't happen so I lost.

[wheelz1200]

I don't think this was as much of how well Denver played to how awful the Warriors were in the 4th quarter.  They ended the game on a 25-4 run.  Curry was 1-5 with a monster turnover at the end of the game.  Why in the world would he cross court pass to Wiggins behind the 3 when he had cp3 at the top of the key who shoots way better from 3 than Wiggins.  Just a dumb play almost karma that guided jokers heave in.  Up 18 with less than 7 minutes to go, ypu really have to try hard to lose the game.  This might be one of the early daggers in the Warriors this season.  I wouldn't be surprised if they are sellers at the trade deadline. 

[terrific]

It was just destined that Golden State Warriors will lose that game. Most of the shots made by Steph were like, let it happen what it should happen.
Better luck next time and this has given them another disappointment while on the other hand, a great motivation for the Nuggets. Still a pretty interesting and not boring game.

[el kaka22]

I still think that Wemby has a lot more to improve, but people need to realize that as a 19 year old kid, maybe he is not as good as Lebron when he was that age, but to be fair nobody was as good as Lebron at 19. I believe that Wemby has shown flashes of amazing plays, he is definitely a superstar in the making, he is going to be a force to reckon with, but he does have one problem.

The Spurs have absolutely nobody to handle the ball, no good floor general, which means that there is nobody that can help Wemby grow better, you can't just give the ball to some 7'5 feet tall guy and expect him to be great, he is not some Jokic type passer neither, Wemby is a scorer, and you need to set him up, when they do that, he is amazing, so this summer Spurs should look for some good passer.

[ingiltere]

Don't forget to vote for All-Star today. Votes count 3x.

I quickly picked Dončić, SGA, Jokić, Durant and Şengün for the West and Cunningham, Haliburton, Embiid, Tatum and Randle for the East.



I know some of them have very low chance but they all deserve it. Coaches will have though job about picking bench players. There are a lot of quality players and the competition is great this season. Statistics increased very significantly for most players.
