2024 NBA Season

[Barcode_]

The odds payout offered by the bookmakers on Philadelphia 76ers to win the away match against Phoenix Suns is @4.30, I am kind of surprised to see the odds payout for Philadelphia 76ers to be so high as both of these teams are almost quite close to each other performance with their overall win loss rate results this season. Phoenix Suns have lost 3 out of their 4 recent home matches played and I think Philadelphia 76ers might have a slight chance to beat Phoenix Suns away from home.

I think that is because Embiid is still out with an injury right?  He's missed a ton of games now and his team hasn't been doing all that great in his absence, so I will admit I also bet against the 76ers vs the Suns tonight.  Not to mention that we are scheduled to get our first look at Isaiah Thomas in a Suns uniform tonight and I don't think they're going to want to let his debut get spoiled by a loss against a team without their star player.  I'm looking forward to seeing what Isaiah can do now that he's being given another chance in the NBA and hope he does well.  He was doing great in the G league.

One thing I do wonder is the Rockets, looks like they are on a great winning streak and getting closer and closer to Warriors, just 2 win difference, and I think that can be closed with how many players Warriors are missing. Could it happen? I do not know, they played some easy games, and the end stretch of their games looks like against weaker teams. If they can do that, it would be the first playoffs since a while, since the whole Harden era, and these are still very young players, so that would be awesome for them to get that experience.

Plus, Alperen may come back by that time, and if they do that then they could actually play well. Not saying that they will get the position, of course they may not, but at least it looks like we are going to see them end up having a chance, should be very good to see.

Was thinking the same.  At a particular point I thought no way they make up the gap but after watching them implode during the Knicks game I just don't think they are that good of a team.  My gut tells me there is enough in the tank for them to possible hold on to the 10th spot.  But then 2 games on the road to try to make the playoffs, they are cooked.

We are now close to the NBA playoffs and we are less than a month away, looks like they will gonna have a hard time doing that because the other teams in the number 7-10 spots are not giving any easy win to their opponent and that surely be the reasons for them to not climb no matter how hard they try this time. Unless some miracle happens that those teams will have losing streaks in the upcoming days and they on the other hand will win one after another and that surely makes them steal the spot and play in the play-in tournament instead of Lakers or GSW. If only their star player didn't get injured, this would be an easy job for them.

If they continue winning games and Warriors continue to struggle there's still chance that they can reached the play-in and yes it was way back Harden Era when they've last compete in the playoffs,  they added new sets of players who contributed well  though their rally might be not enough for the season but like what you said they are still composed of young generation stars and if they keep this squad and there's no changes that take place they can matured more and start moving forward for their chase to win again the title.

Well, Tyrese Maxey had been phenomenal in his 3 consecutive games. Those 30 points per game will be crucial in this battle against the Phoenix Suns. But still, I might not consider betting on them because once the Phoenix Suns superstar trio finds their rhythm in the offensive end, it will be difficult to stop them. Plus, they have Nurkic who can be effective against the 76ers who don't really have a good inside defender.
I am thinking Nurkic might get 15+ points + 10+ rebounds in this game. Also, that's the key to why the Suns will make sure they win this one, they have been losing in their recent game so I can see them forcing this one.
Take note that Tobias Harris is also listed in a questionable status. I will be bettting for the Suns -10.5 here.

I'm sure these two teams (Lakers and Warriors) will make play in tournament and only one of them will make playoffs. Hopefully its Lakers since i still really want to watch Lebron playing Playoffs. NBA fans saying that it possible Lakers and OKC will battle 1st round playoffs and they predicting that OKC will first round exit. I want to but look Lakers really struggling to make playoffs this year 😭

I would say that the Warriors are struggling to get into the play-in tournament as the Rockets, to my surprise, continue to win and are catching up to the Warriors in the standings. The Lakers are doing a little better in this regard, and I think they can compete for the 8th spot in the standings.

I can't see Rockets making playoffs or even playing in play-in tournament since Alperen Sengun injured and out of the remaining season. This last 8-2 games is just free win. Most of the Teams last games against Rockets are not even making playoffs. But yes they have a chance to make Play-in Tournament since upon checking their remaining game most of Team they can easily win against it.

[Yogee]

Another close game for the Heat vs. Cavaliers as they fight for position in the playoffs. Both teams also missing their key players so no wonder it's a low scoring game but I like the intensity.

Game update,
Heat with a narrow win. I thought the Cavs already had the momentum after taking the lead but Rozier came up big in the final two minutes.

I also don't see the Rockets catching up as the Warriors have built enough gap for securing the 8th spot. I doubt the Warriors will suddenly crumble and lose their next 5 games.

He hit that step back 3, yeah this game is full of momentum swing, every quarter was different. But in the last 2 minutes, Cavs where leading by 4. Unfortunately, they foul him and Rozier converted the 4 point play and that dagger 3 for the lead. Another bad lost for the Cavs, it's winnable for them. But with the experience of Heat specially Jimmy Butler, they will still be the darkhorse this season and maybe just like the last, they pulled a upset and might go to the finals. But we will see, the East is somewhat predictable with Boston at the top.

We will have to see how his injury his improving, initial reports looks good, but we all know that there are teams who didn't report the full extend of the injuries of their players. I think the Warriors is going full throttle in the last remaining games in this post season and at least extend their season with a play-in. And if they get there, then good for them, just take it a day at a time. Warriors need to win though, they are just 2 games ahead of the Rockets. At least they have control, just play solid games and since Curry is back, chances are they could be in the winning column again.

The Golden State Warriors have scored 137 points while attempting just 2 free throws, shattering the NBA record for most points scored on 2 or fewer FTs during a game. The previous best was the LA Lakers scoring 126 in 1980.

But the most important thing is that this is a needed win for the Warriors and they delivered. It's like the old version of the Warriors, wherein they make 3rd quarter their own, and when they do that it's hard to stop them.

Klay fought his shooting back, and it's good to see him shooting with the flow and not forcing it. And then the young Kuminga, the future of the Warriors and it's good that they don't trade him this year. But still they need to win as much as they can to stay ahead of the Rockets and get closer to the Lakers.

Warriors already won tonight's game, and so they kept a good separation between them and the Rockets with 3 games ahead of them. The thing with the Warriors is that they are not a road team, haven't check their schedule but if they are going to travel it might be hard for them to win, just saying.

Tonight's game is in their homecourt, and so they win huge double digit margin. But then again they face a team without Ja Morant and Memphis has struggled. Next stop for them is against the Wolves away from home. So very hard for them to win as Wolves is one of the best team in the West.

2fts, wtf? I didn't even pay attention to this when I watched the highlights.
Was it because of the refs just not blowing the whistle or did this happen naturally, taking outside shots and/or the other team was just super careful.
I think I have never seen such a stat line, not in the NBA or any other basketball league worldwide.

Anyway, happy to see the Warriors make a push now, if they survive the play in ( in case they have to play it, you never know ), they will be a hard task for any number 1 or 2 spot.
I don't see the Thunder beating them in a 7 game series, they are just too young. Denver though is a different story of course.

Yup, they need to continue winning if possible all the remaining games as we can see that Rockets is trying to catch up, and with also those young stars that starting to create their names in this league, it's very important to all the teams who wanted to continue to the next round to keep playing at their best to win their remaining games as it's getting closure to the playoffs,

we just witness the dominance of Warriors against Memphis though there's some commution during the game as Green messing up but he's known to that tactics, he's using it to boost himself and try to influence his team to keep playing harder, congrats to those who manage to take side for Warriors both ML and handicap.

I'm surprise with that 2 FT... but when I checked I was able to verified that it was really 2 FT only..This could be the lowest in the NBA, or did GSW made history on this?

Anyway what's important is that they win the game, and with that win they improved 36-32 still ranked at number 10, but they are sure gonna be in the play-in already as although houston rockets are already in 6 winning streak, I doubt they'll overtake the Warriors.

The thing with the Warriors is that they are not a road team, haven't check their schedule but if they are going to travel it might be hard for them to win, just saying.

Well then, the Warriors could really have some problems, as only one of their upcoming six games will be on their home court. By the way, it's worth noting that the opponents in these matches will not be easy. Likely, only the games vs. the Hornets and Spurs at the end of the match won't cause any difficulties for the Warriors.

It's not actually a problem since their stats says they are better on the road.

As you can see in here https://www.espn.ph/nba/standings.. Warriors currently have 36 wins, and these are the breakdown.

18-18 home record
18-14 road record, .. so what you have pointed as problems actually favors them.

Ya, the Warriors seem to have gotten over the road woes that plagued them a couple years ago with a horrible away record.  I actually think the Warriors are the most experienced team in the NBA right now, so it probably matters less to them than anyone else where they play.  They've seen it all in their run and while they might be at the end of their dynasty with heroes of the past coming off the bench now, they're still an extremely dangerous and experienced team that can beat anybody if they let their guard down.
