2024 NBA Season

[Ayers]

snip

The Mavs versus Hawks in this rivalry week was also entertaining especially to those who like watching offensive battles.
Luka Doncic with 73 points, Wow!   41 1st half points.
After a bad defeat against their rival Phoenix Suns, he poured everything against the other rival Hawks.
Embiid, Luka, and Booker.
Are we even playing defense? Well, it sure is entertaining for the new kind of NBA and I bet the Hawks fans are stunned with what happened.

Luka was absolutely incredible in this match. If I am not wrong, We also saw another 70 points from another player a few games ago. So it looks like now it has definitely become easier for the players to have an explosive performance like that. And remember I am saying "easier" compared to the past. Because it is still definitely a very hard work for a player to actually get 70 points in a match.

I am also pretty sure that the hawks fans are definitely very stunned after watching what happened. Let's be honest, if Luca had a little worse performance than he had in this match, it probably would have been a win for Hawks

Crazy games last night.  Another huge loss from Toronto.  Starting to look more amd more like the Knicks won that OG trade.  Big game on national television today between the Knicks and Heat.  Might be a good playoff preview.  Can't wait to see OG on Jimmy and see him lock him up.  Knicks 11-2 since OG joined quietly beating Minnesota, sixers by 30, Denver by 30+ while holding them to under 90 points.  This is another good test for them looking forward to it.

It isn’t just the scoring by Luka that was impressive. He nearly had a triple double while doing it and he did it on less shots than anyone else before him. The efficiency of his game along with other stats leaves room for the argument that this was the best basketball game played by someone in the post-Wilt era.

Crazy games last night.  Another huge loss from Toronto.  Starting to look more amd more like the Knicks won that OG trade.  Big game on national television today between the Knicks and Heat.  Might be a good playoff preview.  Can't wait to see OG on Jimmy and see him lock him up.  Knicks 11-2 since OG joined quietly beating Minnesota, sixers by 30, Denver by 30+ while holding them to under 90 points.  This is another good test for them looking forward to it.

On paper this looks like another win by the Knicks. However, I believe the Heat will make all necessary adjustment to get this job done so they would stop the bleeding as they are on a 5 losing sterak now. The Heat hasn't been winning games as usual since Jimmy return and Terry Rozier hasn't been playing as expected since he joined the heat. I'm guessing this could be the night for them to make that happen by betting the hot streaking New York Knicks on the road.

I thought this would happen, but I don't see his name on the list playing now, he could be a big help.

I just tune in live, and he's (JJJ) playing.

The Knicks absolutely torched the heat.  Outside of going down early they pretty much held set until the fourth quarter when they just leaned into them.  Another great win and now 12-2 since the OG trade.  On the downside julius randle got hurt late and looks like he has a dislocated shoulder.  Not good since they've been rolling.  Time for OG to step up as the #2 guy.

Almost the same way Steph Curry fumbled the ball on the last possession against the Sacramento Kings with a chance to win the game, Devin Booker did the same tonight as he lost the ball at the last possession of the Phoenix Suns against the Indiana Pacers. Also, that's one heck of a defense from Aaron Nesmith, he made sure that he would try to challenge the last shot of Booker even though there was not enough time.
I thought they would give it to KD but Booker was so hot with 62 points. Still, thumbs up to Coach Rick Carlisle, he called one more timeout because he tried to compose his players, they may have also predicted that it would be passed to Booker.
Obi Toppin made the winning shot, a lucky rebound, the ball fell right in front of him.  
That ended the 7 winning streak of the Phoenix Suns. Good job for the young Pacers team even without Haliburton.

luca doncic fantastic performance is able to score more than 70 points. maybe if you play in the right team doncic will easily win the NBA. for example boston celtic or buck. currently it may be one of the candidates to win the regular MVP. but if you bring dalas maverick to become a champion I think it's still difficult, maverick's squad is still not competitive to be able to become a champion

Mavs got a long way to go to become a top team.  I like kyrie's game a lot but not sure if the Luka/kyrie pairing is the best.  With Luka being ball dominant I think a top tier power forward or center is what the team needs.  The kid lively looks good but being a rookie he will need some time.  Not sure what direction they go but they should be in a win now mode with Luka playing at his peak.

73 points performance is impressive. Dončić is one of the best players in the NBA but currently Embiid is ahead of him for regular season MVP race. Philly also has a better record, Mavs is in 8th spot, they are not even in play-off picture right now. Mavs has a good roster but good is not enough to win championship. They got Dončić and Kyrie but side pieces are kinda mid.

Knicks just won 6 in a row. They play confident at MSG. They can extend this series because five of next 6 games will be at home as well.
It was a very strange ending. Brooklyn choked in the last quarter in a game they could've won comfortably and the Rockets almost won the game, but they didn't make the most of their last chances. They didn't take advantage of their chances a couple of times. Both teams are fighting for a play-in spot, but it doesn't look easy. Coaches have been fired recently and Jacque Vaughn's place is not secure.

[YuginKadoya]

Just wanna share that I'm watching today's game, Pacers vs Suns. Booker has already scored 29 points in the first quarter. It seems like this game is a tribute to the late Kobe Bryant as today marks the 4th anniversary of Kobe Bryant's passing. It's possible that Devin Booker could score 82+ points today. What do you think? Anyone watching the game today?

Edit: Luka Doncic is also dominating with 40+ points in the first half, while Booker has scored 37 points in the 1st half.

That's quite an exciting game! It's incredible to see players like Devin Booker and Luka Doncic putting up such impressive numbers. The coincidence of Booker's high-scoring performance on the 4th anniversary of Kobe Bryant's passing adds a poignant touch to the game. If Booker keeps up this pace, reaching 82 points would indeed be a remarkable tribute to the late Kobe Bryant. Luka Doncic's strong performance is equally noteworthy, showcasing the talent and skill of these young stars. I'm not watching the game, but it sounds like a thrilling match. Enjoy the rest of it what is funny is when a fan said to Luka Doncic that he was tired and get his ass on a treadmill,

Luka Doncic!!! He really wanted to break the post Kobe scoring record held by Devon Booker and he pulled it off tonight. WOW. 73 points and a victory. Between Joel Embiid’s performance earlier in the week and now this you have to wonder if this signals a bit of a change in how defenses are defending stars. Will anyone ever break Wilt’s mark?

What an incredible performance by Luka Doncic! Scoring 73 points in a game is truly remarkable, especially in the context of trying to break the post-Kobe scoring record set by Devin Booker. It's fascinating to see these standout performances from various players, like Joel Embiid earlier in the week. It does make you ponder if there's a shift in defensive strategies against star players. As for Wilt Chamberlain's historic mark, it remains a challenging record to surpass. The game continues to evolve, and these extraordinary performances add an exciting dimension to the ongoing legacy of basketball who knows maybe there will be a player that could someday break the 100 Wilt Chamberlain's legacy.

Check out this move from Wemby tonight!

https://x.com/worldwidewob/status/1751429360157143208

Pulling off a shammgod at nearly 7 and a half feet tall in an NBA game is crazy. I may have to admit that I’ve underestimated Wemby a bit. He’s definitely something we’ve never seen before. The defender did a good job sticking with him too.

[danherbias07]

Damn! Lebron is just too awesome! I am not one of his biggest fans but he is truly amazing at his age.
I love how appreciative he is at that post-game interview. He will definitely be written as the GOAT of his era.

Double Overtime in San Francisco!
Two of the best veteran players in the league clashing with each other. Lebron James and Steph Curry.

Sadly, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins were both fouled out in the 2nd overtime and that takes out the fun because it crippled both offense and defense of the Warriors.
Lebron on the other hand knew that so he attacked the rim at the last overtime to get a foul and then he hit both freethrows to win the game.
Another showcase here is Jonathan Kuminga, he somehow made some good defensive plays against Lebron and he is proving his consistency on the offensive end.

Back-to-back 1-point close game loss for the Warriors. This must be frustrating for the team but I think they are playing great. Chemistry is there, Wiggins finally stepping up, Thompson seems to be back to his old self, Draymond also making great plays on both ends of the floor and their bench is doing fine too. It's just a matter of time before they win. Maybe after the All-Star.

Nice, didn't know he had the "whip" in his move list as well.
Wouldn't it be nice if he finished it with a thunderous dunk instead the layup, I kind of expected it with his super long arms.

If he can do and show things like this in his first season already we can just imagine what we will see in the years to come.

Bodiroga would be proud!

[Viscore]

Lebron on the other hand knew that so he attacked the rim at the last overtime to get a foul and then he hit both freethrows to win the game.

I would say that it was a clutch move by Lebron, sometimes he'll just settle with 3 point shot or pass the ball as he doesn't want to take the last shot. But since he was hot during the 2nd OT, he should end the game. Honestly, I didn't expect that the two FT will sink, I mean, Lebron is not good in FT line when pressured, and he needed to make 2 to secure a victory, and good thing it happened.

I'm enjoying the game as neither team does not want to lose, and actually I bet on the Warriors hoping they'll bounce back from a disappointing lose to the Sacramento Kings, and here it happened again, it seems like they are not really good now in closing the game.

And Draymond, I'm happy he is back, and by the way, if you guys notice, the Warriors offense are flawless when Draymond is on the floor.

It's not a norm now and sometimes when a players scores a lot, it will ruined the chemistry of the team especially if he is doing that every game. It will become an individual build up instead of a team.

That is a possible drawback with teams that gives one player most of the shooting opportunities. It's good that Luka and the rest were making them but it could also ruin the confidence of teammates to take a shot. That may lead to predictable plays which makes it easier for the defense to limit their scoring.

Could be, because after that historic perfomance of Luka on the road, they played the Kings which is known to be a team with good team work and they lose. As usual, Luka was still the main scorer getting a triple double with 28 pts, 17 asts, and 10 rebounds. However, it's not the individual stats that matters now as they don't have a good standing, they need to win and should play with a good teamwork like the Sacramento Kings.

I thought this is a blowout win by the Kings actually, but good thing Dallas responded in the 4th quarter but they still fell short losing by 5 points only.

That was one hell of a game and the superstars didn’t disappoint with Curry and LeBron leading their teams in scoring. Draymond Green had a funny moment after the call on his questionable foul on Davis then mocking those who wanted it reviewed. In the end LeBron won it at the free throw line which is a bit disappointing, but an amazing game.

It was a very entertaining game, and although the Warriors lose, you can see that the fans are very satisfied on what they are witnessing. Curry showed that he is still here as a superstar in the NBA, and he is clutch enough to sink a shot when it matters most. The spacing of the Warriors is good with Green playing, so maybe in the next few games we will see the Warriors bouncing back after this successive losses.

Lebron doesn't look old at all, he is a legend, playing 2 overtime with huge minutes and you can't even see on his face that he was already tired. Also, Davis is great, he is a tough one, I thought he will not come back anymore when he exited after a hard fall, but he came back and help his team like nothing happened to him. Also, we can commend the performance of D'lo, made 3 successive mistakes but made a 3 point shot that give them a go ahead score. overall the game is brilliant.

The NBA has been pleasing its fans lately, with epic games happening almost every day.
The Lakers-Warriors game was really exciting, especially the ending. I wonder if the Lakers management will still be willing to trade Russell after this game. After all, he performed well and made a few crucial shots in this game, thus showing that he can be useful to the team in games like this one.

Rudy Gobert really looks small for sure in that clip while Wemby is becoming more like Wemby the days in his school career, for sure Wembanyama is getting used in basketball for the NBA, for sure he got a rough start this season but for sure because of practice he will be one solid player for the San Antonio Spurs, in the future that is for sure,

Damn! Lebron is just too awesome! I am not one of his biggest fans but he is truly amazing at his age.

The fouls on Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins in the 2nd overtime undoubtedly had a significant impact on the Warriors' performance, affecting both their offensive and defensive capabilities. Lebron's strategic move to attack the rim and draw a foul in the last overtime showcases his veteran understanding of the game, ultimately securing the win for his team.

It's encouraging to see Jonathan Kuminga making a positive impact, displaying both defensive prowess against Lebron and consistency on the offensive end. Despite back-to-back close game losses, the Warriors seem to have a strong foundation with improved chemistry, Wiggins stepping up, Thompson finding his form, and Draymond making notable contributions on both ends of the floor. The frustration of close losses might turn into victories soon, especially with their promising lineup. The post-All-Star period could indeed be a turning point for them.

That's true. As a Warriors fan, I was actually amazed at their performance, I didn't also feel that they lost that game because the entertaining factor was so damn great.
The only thing I had after watching the game was the "What if?".
What if Klay was not fouled out?
What if Podiemzki didn't shoot that three-pointer and waited for Curry to receive the ball? Because I think he rushed it, he came from the bench so he is cold.
What if Wiggins was also not fouled out? It could've been him against Lebron and maybe a clean defense could happen.
All of that is what's left of me but I am not unhappy about their loss. It's actually the other way around because I see they became a team again on their last few games. They just need one more push or keep this tempo and maybe they will win their next game.

But, the Warriors' next game will be up against the 76ers. Embiid didn't play today against the Nuggets but I seriously doubt he will miss that game against the Warriors. Tobias Harris and Tyrese Maxey also did not play but it was not an easy win for the Nuggets. The 76ers bench did show some good fight today.

I think this must be more frustrating for Stephen Curry because he is trying really hard to carry his team through almost every match. He actually carried his team in this match as well. But the problem is that his opponent team played really well. At least the Lakers played as a team and that's where the warriors actually lost the match. Well actually in this match his team did support him a lot but the support had to be better and the support that was given by his team was not enough in the end.  Must have been heartbreaking for Stephen Curry, But it is what it is.

By the way, the Lakers made a very good comeback in the 4th quarter otherwise this would have not been possible for the lakers to actually win.
