2024 NBA Season

[püsür]

Domantas Sabonis put up incredible stats but he wasn't selected as an All-Star. This could be the biggest scandal of this year. He's breaking record after record this year. He is at the top in double double and triple double stats. Sacramento is also in the play-off picture, yet Sabonis wasn't selected.
I'm watching him today against the Rockets, he's a very special player. He started the game well but then he lost his rhythm and made too many turnovers. The Rockets played better in the second half and it looks like they will win the game. Thanks to Şengün we watch Rockets games almost every night.

If the criteria was only the stats, sure he will be included in the all star, but it's not that simple, the criteria is more like a popularity contest.

As what we can read from this post.

These are the criteria.

**Performance and Statistics**
**Fan Voting**:
**Player Voting**
**Coaches Voting**
**Popularity and Media Exposure**:
**Positional Balance**
**Team Performance**
**Injury Status**:

On te above criteria, I think there's only one or two where he could obviously at the top 10.

I see the point but I don't agree. The players who got selected instead of Sabonis don't meet these criterias exactly also. There might be something else going on in my opinion. Some people thought European players got too strong and more dominant. Most of the biggest stars of the league are now european. This might be a reason that he wasn't selected. I think he deserved it though.

Rockets got an important win yesterday against Kings but Alperen Sengun was heavily injured in the last 30 seconds of the game. He left the court unable to walk. There will be MRI done on his leg to see how long he will be injured. This is horrible news for Rockets. They just started to get some wins. He left the court pretty bad but hopefully it will not be a long injury.

Alperen Şengün, who was on his way to the top of his career, suffered a serious injury in the last match. There is no statement about his condition yet, I hope he does not have a serious injury and he will recover and return to the field in a short time. It is very sad for him that he suffered an injury at perhaps one of the most important times of his career. I am very afraid of a health problem that will reoccur. I hope there will be no problem with his self-confidence and he can continue playing with his old performance

We all hope he's ok and nothing major about his bad landing. He was literally screaming of the pain and said his ankle f*cked up. I don't know why such a gruesome injuries happens in a not so crucial point of the game. He could've let Sabonis make that layup with just a minimal attempt to contest, they're still up by 6 if they let him make that layup with less than 4 seconds left in the 4th, then opt for a quick inbound to avoid full court defensive pressure.
Well, unfortunately nobody knows what's coming in every play they make. Hope he'll bounce back as he still has a very promising career ahead of him.

It's just a dramatic ending for him because he landed a nasty fall which clearly indicates that he won't be playing soon because of those injuries, looks like a season-end injury that requires a long process of healing in order for him to get back on the court again. Let's just hope that we will gonna see him again because injuries are meant to change the player's performance and we have seen such scenarios countless times before hopefully it won't be the case for him and he will be back without any decline in his performance after he is fully healed.

Big win for the Lakers earlier. Although it is given without Rudy Gobert and KAT for the Timberwolves. Antman cannot just shoulder everything and it's more difficult because he is battling against the Lakers who had been playing strong in their last few games.

Anthony Davis almost caught the 5x5 just like Wemby.
27 points, 25 big rebounds both defensive and offensive, 5 assists, 7 steals, and 3 blocks. He is 2 blocks shy of getting the 5x5. Still, a strong display of his dominant game under the rim. Those 25 rebounds were all incredible and most of his points came from an offensive rebound and then a putback to the rim.
This is the Davis that I want to watch every Lakers game. This is also the Davis that I saw during the bubble but back then he was consistent unlike now.
That win put the Lakers in the 9th spot of the West. They need more wins if they want to steal the next spot up from the Dallas Mavericks.

Yesterday's games had some results that I expected, but unfortunately I didn't place a bet. thunder who played against the grizzilies, managed to get a very easy victory. in the first period the thunder won by a difference of 14 points, it was a difference of points that gave comfort to the thunder who in the second period did not relax and won again, this time by a difference of 7 points, and in the third period the thunder won again by a large difference of points, there was a 13 point difference, but in the fourth period they relaxed and lost but by a 3 point difference and with that at the end of the game the thunder won with a difference of 31 points. it was a very easy victory

Another game in which there was another easy victory was the Cavaliers game against the Nets in which the Nets won. in the first period the game was very balanced in my opinion, with the nets having won but only by 1 point difference, in the second period the game became even more balanced and ended in a draw, it seemed like it would be a balanced game until the end , but in the third period the nets won by a large difference of points, there was a 15 point difference and in the fourth period the nets won again but this time by a small difference of points. In my opinion, the Nets' good performance in the third period was decisive for the victory they had.

Lastly we have the lakers game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, this was not a game in which there was a victory with a large difference in points, but it was a game in which the lakers won by a considerable difference in points, there was an 11 point difference. in my opinion it was a balanced game with the lakers in the first period having won by 4 points, in the second period the lakers lost by a difference of 3 points, in the fourth period the lakers lost again and this time by 2 points, in the fourth period the lakers won by a difference of 12 points, the fourth period was decisive for the lakers victory

This was a topic that I would comment on here too. Anyway, I hope Alperen Şengün recovers and that it's nothing serious. What made me worried and sad about this situation is that there was less than 1 minute left before the game ended and Şengün was seriously injured.

Is there any update on his injury yet? Maybe he had an ACL injury or something similar?

for real he said himself his knee done f***ed up I guess he figured out it might be some serious shit right here.
and the fact that as you mentioned its just 1 minute left before the game ends, i've seen it from the highlight also shown that he fell on his ankle so hard and he gets wheelchaired off after that probably hurts as heck.
however the recent news about the well being of hist ankle was that its severly sprained ankle and a bone bruise on his knee from bleacherreport so I guess thats the inujury. kinda horrifying seeing something that might end entire mans career though right now he need healing before be able to play again.

I had a bet on the Kings and was cheering for them but it was unfortunate that Sengun fell and got injured in the final minute of the game. Everyone is concerned with the injury including myself hoping it is not something serious.

But here is the good news just released a few hours ago, Sengun's falling on the floor caused a lot of injuries but none of them are major. This is great since everybody is looking forward to the young team especially next season. I believe the Rockets will become better next season and can get a solid top place in the playoffs.

When I saw that video of the incident when Sengun fell to the ground I thought it could have been something serious. I believe he said that because of the situation and the scare, and I also imagine the pain he felt. Overall, he injured his ankle and knee in a single fall.
Well, so far what has been announced is that Sengun suffered a serious sprain in his right ankle and a bone bruise in his right knee, but, depending on the situation, all of this could have been worse.

Saddiq Bey (Hawks player) suffers an ACL injury and is out for the remainder of the season.
What bad news, I hope that Bey, Sengun and the other injured players recover well and are back on the court as soon as possible.

22-point comeback. What a game in Ball Arena.

Toronto Raptors had the big lead but in the third quarter, the Denver Nuggets found their spark through their superstar duo Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic.
Jamal showed the bag of tricks that he had been keeping. You name it, threading assists to Nnaji, scoop layups, and more. The commentators said he got angry and that's the result of his anger.
Nikola Jokic on the other hand already claimed his triple-double in the early stage of the 3rd quarter and he ended with 35 points, 17 rebounds, 12 assists, and 6 important steals that helped swing the game to their favor. The crowd was energized thanks to those defensive stops. That is the Nuggets that I know, never giving up, and defense was also filled with energy.

Their next stop will be on the road up against the reigning East champions, Miami Heat.

What bad news, I hope that Bey, Sengun and the other injured players recover well and are back on the court as soon as possible.

Nowadays, even major injuries are possible to be cured, I guess it's something that science can be work out though depending to how a person will help and how dedicated he can be to bring the form back, or if not as healtier like before but something that can be work to complete his comeback, I like the possibility that Sengun manages towork on his health and play back, hopefully he can again survive and comeback more stronger.

Injuries is something that everyone can't avoid in terms of accident but maintenaing proper workout and diet might save them to prevent from suffering which they can't take and will end their careers.

Let's wait for the next update I like how this young big guy is bringing to his team, they are now being watch and support by their fans, a chance of bringing the old glory might happened when all the missing pieces start to fill up.

Based on Woj's tweet: LINK

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun has escaped major injury on his lower right leg, suffering a severely sprained ankle and a bone bruise on his knee. Sengun’s been one of breakout stars in the league this year, averaging 21 points, nine rebounds, five assists.

That's a big relief for the Rockets because their main big escaped that major injury. They are still 5 games behind the Warriors currently, but their chances of getting that 10th spot would be much lower if Sengun were injured for the rest of the season. He has been one of the go-to guys of the Rockets for this regular season. The question now is, how long will he be out because of that injury? Or will he be out for a short time because of that?
Anyway, I'm a Warriors fan, and to see Trayce Jackson-Davis posterizing Victor Wembanyama is just insane. I watched it multiple times and had the same reaction all the time. This kid will be the future of the Warriors, and will keep him for sure. The announcers are in a savage mode on this one. "he put the entire country of France in a basket"? WTF!!   Here's the video anyway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jDegrDZ4og

I agree it was an amazing performance by Anthony Davis. The outcome of this game is a prime example of how strong the Lakers can be when Davis and LeBron are healthy. I think it's obvious that if the Lakers continue at this pace, they could have a good chance at both the play-in tournament and the playoffs.

It's true, it was jus like watching AD in the bubble wherein he was healthy and they won the championship that time. And as long as both are healthy, although they are still way below the standing for a playoff berth, I think they can still make it in the play-in. The Warriors are in a struggle since Curry had injury, although they won, the Lakers is up 2 games against the Warriors. And as we have pointed out, gonna be close for the last 4 teams, from 7th-10th place in the Western conference. Just 4 games difference between the Warriors and the Suns (6th place).

I was out for a couple of days, didn't watch any game, but when I look at the final score and see this in social media?

Damn, TJD is really specially, another great catch by the Warriors and the more that they give him time, the more he is getting better. But we should give credit to Wemby as well, he is not afraid to be posterized. He will go and chase for that block whoever it is. Warriors needed this big win, to stay close with the Lakers at 10th position and at least a play-in chance.

He was posterized few times but this guy is leading in blocks and making history. Although people loved that but Wemby is still has to be respected with his achievement. I think even great players are also posterized, don't know but I think Lebron and has been posterized too once in his life, even AD I guess.

Anyway, the Warriors won this game and they were able to avenge their loss, now their ranking is at solid number 10, but I don't want them to end in 10, maybe improve a bit so their chance in the playoffs will increase.

They were struggling to inmprove their ranking from rank number 10. But since there are still plenty of games left, that is not final yet and they still have a chance to rise in standing. As long as the Warriors are going to hold on even without Curry still not playing, they will not slide down in ranking.  Also, them winning games will help Curry to to have more time o recover from his injury as he will not be force to return prematurely.

There will be lots of changes in the rank in the upcoming days, especially with the top 6th-10th place since right now, they are playing well and not giving any chance to others to get an easy win from them also we all know especially the Lakers, they wanted to regain back their chance that the Nuggets stole from them last year when they lost against them in 4 straight games. They need to exert all effort to take another chance to get to the NBA finals no matter what happens and they need to bet it all right here this season.

Is it just in my imagination or have big comebacks become normal lately?
Recently I really saw a lot of them. Sometimes a team is winning the 1st quarter by like 20 something points and then totally collapse in the rest of the game.
Or a team is going into the forth by 16-20 something points just to get ousted something like 42:16 in the last quarter.
Is the the increased shooting of the 3, or is the game faster recently?
Maybe it's also that players "basketball IQ" has become worse. I mean if you milk the clock a lot it's impossible to lose 20 point leads in like 6 minutes. Just recently we saw exactly that with the Clippers vs the Lakers. Leading by 22 with 11min to go and a tie game with like 4 or 5min left. It's crazy!
