2024 NBA Season

[Distinctin]

Houston Rockets are preparing to give a new contract to Alperen Şengün. If he gets a max contract, Alperen can earn $225 million in 5 years. Alperen, who increased his statistics this season, deserves to receive a max contract. It's not easy to find such a good center. If he gets this contract, Alperen will make history in Turkish sports. The Turkish athlete will be the one who earns the most. And he's still very young. He has already become a player who will write his name in history.

He will likely get a max because he plays like their best player and he is still young, currently at 21 years old. It's true, NBA doesn't have a lot of good centers so the competition isn't that high. This season he is averaging 21.1 PPG, 9.3 rebounds, and 5.0 assists, these numbers showed he is an all around player, a big man who knows how to pass, create his offense and very hard working on defense and grabbing the ball.

We don't know if it could happen since it's just a speculation for now, but if it will happen, we should not be surprise as he had the best season in his NBA carreer so far.

Zion is looking pretty good his last few games and helped the Pelicans beat the Clippers tonight. This is his second 30+ point outing in a row and his stats have been improving a lot lately each game. I’m half expecting him to go for 40 in his next game. I love to see him leading the team in minutes. He seems to finally be getting it together.

It seems that he already has a break on all cheeseburgers, fries and other greasy diet he has been taking a lot lately.

He manage to retain a very productive play for having a 26 points which is a little bit lower than before but still a very good score considering how consistent he is on his previous games before this consistent come back play. I’m not updated on him personally but I really believe that he is already improving his diet because the sudden increase on his stamina that makes him consistent will not gonna happened with his previous weight problem due to his unhealthy food lifestyle.

He needs to continue working on his diet, whatever his following now it's helping him to keep his stamina and also helping him to avoid having an injury, his performances really help his team a lot, with that numbers that he's prducing that brings more offensive arsenal and what we are witnessing right now only proves that his presence really have a big impact to their rally,.

Just need to keep away from any injury to help his team moving to the next round, still far but the team is really improving.

Not directly with the diet but Los Angeles Clippers just can't stop Zion Williamson on that night. It was pointed out by Tyron Lue after the game that Zion is not just an inside scoring machine but can also hit shots from the perimeter. Currently, Zion is still not concerned about his diet as long as he can perform well as for him, there's no problem lol.

If he cares about his diet now, there should be no clause about the mandatory diet on his current contract.

The first time I heard given for a player lol.

It's just good to see the key players of Pelicans playing for most of the season.
I already knew that a healthy Zion will change the whole team, and we are seeing currently as they are only 1.5 games behind the 4th seeded Clippers.

This is the reason why the Pelicans gave him another chance this season after years of having some problem with him like his diet, injuries, etc. With regards to his diet, I guess if he can't really change his diet then let's just hope that he will not get injured especially now that there are only a few games remaining on the regular season, and it seems like they will clinch the playoffs this time.

TBH, his stats jumped every single year ever since he played with the Rockets. From 9.6 PPG in 2021-2022 NBA season to 14.8 PPG in 2022-2023 NBA season to now averaging 21.1 PPG. It's a huge jump in terms of stats. Now is he worthy of a max contract? Well, the kiddo has future and can just be the reliable center for the Rockets for quite some time. He's been called "Baby Jokic" for a reason, so I guess he's worthy of it.

Shams is reporting that Isaiah Thomas is signing a 10-day contract with the Suns. I think this is a great signing because Isaiah has earned another chance in the NBA, the Suns lack a true point guard, and if this goes bad it’s only a 10-day contract. I’m really hoping it works out though because I think Isaiah got a bum deal in Boston and should have been rewarded for his loyalty and sacrifice.

Isaiah Thomas during his Celtics tenure within 3 seasons, is undoubtedly the very best of him in his entire career. He was considered to be at a superstar level as he carried the Celtics, became a 2x All-Star member, and first time to be included in the All-NBA second team.

But I don't think the Celtics should have rewarded him to be signed with the team this year because of his loyalty and sacrifice(?). That's a big word and I don't see on what part he showed sacrifice for the team where in the first place, it's the responsibility of the players to be better on their team as much as possible.

The Celtics should sign Thomas to show recognition for his contribution. After all, Thomas did everything and showed interest to return for the team, even just for having a jersey, and a short contract, for one last time. Imagine that for just a reunion. But the Celtics didn't make it happen even according to the report, they are interested in signing Thomas. I feel sad for Thomas that the Celtics didn't grant his desire even though he pleaded for it.

That's good to hear for the man to get another chance to come to the NBA and they should have at least given him a one-year contract but in this state of the NBA right now, he was just a lucky guy to land such a contract while other players are now playing in Asia because no one wants them so far. now he really needs to prove his effectiveness on the court and make other teams interested in getting him as well because he can still be giving them good contributions. Let's just hope the best for him right now and may it be a reason for him to get a good comeback in the NBA.

I hope to see Isaiah Thomas be back on his old form, or at least close to it if he can't anymore. Speaking of the Suns, I can't believe they loss to the Giannis less Bucks. I was thinking they'll get an easy win since Giannis was the best player of the Bucks and they could not without him, but turns out Durant was struggling with 11 points only, not sure but I think it's his lowest output this season.

Anyway, good to see Middleton is back and he played the same as he scored    22 points from an efficient shooting.

Phoenix Suns really need to step up their game as the NBA regular season is about to end. If I'm correct, there are only about 15 games left on average per team. Suns is currently at the 7th seed. If they stay with this seed they might not make playoffs this year and might end up playing Play In Tournament. Lakers and Warriors is dangerous team and have a great record in their last  games. I want to see in play in tournament Warriors vs Lakers, Kings vs Mavs. I'm not a fan of Luka vs Booker🤞

I mean if you cannot even consider playing in the playoffs up to the east Finals with a hip injury as a sacrifice then I don't know what is. It may not have turned out well for him but that is sacrificing his future of being unable to play competitively for the rest of his life in order to win the title that season.

No one is yet to talk about how that last shot and buzzer beater made by Kyrie against the Denver Nuggets today. 2.8 seconds left on that 4th quarter and the ball was in their possession. Score was tied up with both 105 but just one good shot and they'd end the game and Kyrie did it.

What's amazing on his shot is that it was a left hook shot or floater or whatever you call it from the free throw line. This is what amazing it is to watch some of these games when the game is too intense and they're on the verge of having an overtime but then, the other retaliates and don't want to prolong it.

A nice finish it is for the home court and this is going to be one of the greatest plays not just for Kyrie but also for the league itself. Wow.

Yeah, it was a entertaining game between this two great team, and this could be the best version of Kyrie that we have seen so far with Dallas. He is healthy, moving like he was still with the Cavs together with Lebron. But right now he is with Luka.

What a shot, a hook shot that we have never seen since maybe the team of all time great Kareem. It was a back and forth game, Murray, a dagger 3 to give them the lead, but Luka comes back with his own 3 to tie. And then Murray missed what could have been the game winner for them. But he missed Dallas called for a time out and everyone is looking for Luka to get the ball but it was Irving for the great left hook.

Oh well, that's a good point, if he already done managing his diet the claw in his contract might be updated already but since there's no update about that maybe he's just doing so well and it's really giving the team that good impact winning games, just continue what it is that preventing him from suffering with another hard injury and continue performing well I guess.

What a game for both teams, just so happened that only one can take the win but both shows up good competition and regards to that last shot, Kyrie got a lots of amazing shots I guess it was an intinct and a call to him as one of the super stars of the team, you can lean on him and he delivered it so well.

Whoa! That's nice. Finally.
That dude had been lurking in the shadows of the NBA and had been asking for a chance to play again. This is a great chance for him. He will need to show off his talent in a good manner. Make the Phoenix Suns win games and we will probably see more of him after that.

You are right, the Suns badly need a playmaker. They had been playing isolation plays and at the time when Booker was hurt, all the defense would do was double-team Durant and they could win their game. Somehow, a playmaker/point guard could change this. Thomas was a threat everywhere back when he was playing for the Celtics. Let's see if he can still do that same feat and help the Suns secure a playoff spot in their last 14 games. They are in the 8th spot and would probably tie with some team if they stay there. The 6th spot is the safest to avoid the play-in tournament.

It will happen, the kid deserves it. He works his way up to achieve the kind of level and intensity to consistently increase his stats . The Rockets better not going to make a mistake by not maximizing the opportunity to build a team around Sengun. One thing that's concerning about him currently is his injury. Everyone hopes it's nothing major that doesn't affect his performance when he fully recovers moving forward. I'm not familiar with some medical conditions and treatment, but a 3rd grade sprained ankle is not something as serious as a torn ACL.  I think it's fine that he'll miss the remainder of the season as they only have very little to non chances on making the play-ins.

That was against Jokic who is tall, Irving did it again with a game winner, I hope we will see more on that in the playoffs as he deserve another spotlight again. What I don't like with the Dallas is they were up but they allow the Nuggets to come back and even lead the game, since not all the time Irving could make a game winning shot, Dallas should learn how to protect their lead when they are up comfortably.

Also, they are lucky that Murray made a mistake that he didn't consume all the time before making his last shot, that 2 seconds was enough for the Mavs to draw a play that could give them a win. The same situation happened with the Heat where Adebayo made the game winner because pistons draw a bad play to shoot the ball early, or they panicked.

Yeah, wo would forget IT's performance when he was in Bostin Celtics? Although the Celtics has f**k him up as they didn't disclose the full extend of his injuries, I think it has healed completely after several years and he should be good to go. However, after that news, there are no teams that's willing to take that risk on IT. But it's good to see that the Suns are taking a risk on him. I do agree, when CP3 left, there's no true point guard for the Suns and they need someone who has the experience like IT. Suns is on the brink on falling in the ranks if they remain very inconsistent and I wouldn't be surprised if they land in the play-in tournament. The Lakers and the Mavs are trying to close the season on a strong note, so there's a lot of jockeying for position around the 6th-10th spot in the West.

Regarding Kyrie's winning shot, here is the reaction of Luka,

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RpATvB4duO8

I guess everyone of us here have the same reaction. I can't believed that he did it against Jokic with his left arm. That is crazy, Jokic's almost got a block, few cm and he could at least touch it to change the shot. Probably one of the best buzzer beater that we have seen in years. And if there is a best game winner of the year award, this could be it and I think everyone would agree.

That could be Irving's best winning shot. AFAIR, I haven't seen anyone who shot like that far from the basket, it was only Irving and that tells how talented he is. As long as he is health, hopefully this season he will, this team is going to be interesting to watch in the playoffs. Luka and Irving is having fun, and I like that Irving had already accepted that Luka is still the main man of the team.

You mean Kyrie Irving's winning shot.
That was one heck of a shot and he is using his left hand, the weak one. If I was his teammate, I might react the same as Luka did. I mean, that was one incredible shot, the finisher, we only see those magic shots to either Luka or Jokic.
How I wish there was time left after the shot, Jokic might also make some magic if he was given more time.
I bet for the Nuggets on that game so I was okay to let it go to overtime because I needed -3.5 to win my bet. I was shocked in disbelief, it's not every day you will see this kind of thing, so it was damn great. 

Mavs was not shooting well behind the three-point line in that game. But they are lucky they are still in a close game against the Nuggets. The offensive rebounds and the 2nd chance opportunities did help them to stay close and better, win it. I might watch the game one more time.
