2027 NBA Season

[Maslate]

GSW did not made the comeback and worse, Lakers got better with 1-2 punch from Luka and Kessler. Also , is the GS line-up became smaller? Draymond is playing as small center agaid?

Now the Lakers already have a big man who can both shoot and defend. I thought they would struggle without LeBron, but look at them now, beating the Warriors by a huge margin. I think Luka can now really move freely as he no longer has to worry about sharing the spotlight with LeBron, he is now the leader of this team.

big lead for today:
Raptors beat Chicago with 43 points - Portland destroyed the Phoenix with 41 points. what a first game for them.

I missed this one, 26+ wins could already give big odds especially if parlayed. Easy x100 for sure.

TF is wrong with Wemby? 0-7 FGA at half-time and only contributing with foul score. I thought he would be a monster on this game since it’s their first game on their home court.

Spurs was down badly but I’m still looking forward to Wemby taking over the game to revive my parlay.

The jinx on the last leg parlay is real whenever I shared mine publicly. 

Yeah, I saw your bet mate, and that last leg really rekt your parlay, and then Aday Mara the supposedly Wemby stopper, blocked the Alien and then dunks on the other side and we can see the frustrations of the Spurs.

So it was really a big let down from the fans of Wemby seeing him having this kind of bad game from the start. Hopefully, this will wake him up and the Spurs learning their lessons on as they should have make a strong statement here.

Not a great start for the Miami Heat. The Giannis era is beginning 0-1. The Minnesota Timberwolves were running them around the court. Ant had a great game and LaMelo had some highlights.

"Running them around the court" is a good point. I guess we have all seen that instant viral Lamelo Ball 5-6 steps 3-pointer. I mean honestly, what are we doing here. The ref is standing 2 meters away with clear view and doesn't even consider blowing the whistle, that's crazy. Maybe I am getting old and don't like crazy changes in rules and stuff but this is really getting out of hand. I play basketball for over 30 years now and I can't recognize the game I love anymore.  

I think the ref must have been watching his feet to see if it was a three he was shooting and completely missed that he carried and gathered the ball 2 steps earlier than he assumed. One of the other refs probably could have caught it. LaMelo himself tweeted after the game that it was a travel. The players didn’t seem to point it out either. 

I don't know what the refs thinking at that time, but its really clear Ball made a traveling violation.

If you look closely this sequence https://youtube.com/shorts/cLprHKBlH5I?si=0d_GH9-nlY4vRmQ0 two refs are watching Lamelo, but none of them reacts with that violation.

But good that Lamelo admits it, since maybe he's just carried out with the flow of the game.

Ball and Edwards Duo seems promising, then they manage to dominate the supposed to be strong roster of Miami.

Luka got 13, these 2 star showing what a real one is. I expect this game will easily go over, over 230 should be hit easily.

Curry is having a good game but the Warriors seem to have weakened in the 2nd quarter, they were dominated by the Lakers and now the Lakers are leading by double digits, if the Warriors are still the same 3rd quarter team, we will see them coming back, and I'm hoping it will happen so we can see an exciting game in the 4th quarter btw the new guy Walker Kessler is also doing well with his new team, already scoring in double digits.

Lakers are in a good start the players are clicking lets see if they can sustain this throughout the season into the playoffs, the Portland are rolling and it seems Dame did not leave the team, also the addition of morant will be a thing to watch, will they be the same team or better this year, is a must watch and look at.
They have a great three point shooting in the start so if this will be one of their offense the other teams will need to watch those three's.

And that is why there are a lot of dark horse team that make the playoff and so we gamblers should look at those kind of team to bet because of a potential huge payout. Including that team is the Lakers, who others might not see do good for this playoff as it was complete roster now, without Lebron James.

And for the Portland too, it's more on Morant for me. We need to see how Ja's mentality now, that he is with a new team. And initially, he looks healthier and it he might have that kind of feeling when he just started in the league and then putting MVP numbers with Memphis.

LeBron and the Sixers playing against the Cleveland Cavaliers for the second game.  They really did work the schedule around LeBron this year.  I wonder if they were expecting this to be his final year...

The next good game to me looks like it'll be the Houston Rockets vs the San Antonio Spurs.  Wemby and Durant are both fun to watch.  It will be airing on Amazon Prime so it'll be an easily watched game for most.

The season is off to a good start for everyone but Miami it seems...

[Cointxz]

Ball and Edwards Duo seems promising, then they manage to dominate the supposed to be strong roster of Miami.

I made a comment about this in the past about the potential weakness of Miami line-up when it comes to quick team like the Wolves since Miami line-up rely on 2 big man that needs to position first for a better defense.

A team with a good perimeter shot and fast break can dominate Miami even though they are strong in paper. On day that Edwards on fire, I doubt Miami can beat this Wolves line-up.

I would not count out the heat after this loss, they might be still figuring out how to play together or they may be off night, as we know the heat always play better nearing playoffs over the years, so having a loss this early does not mean they are not a good team, its too early to count them out, there are still a lot of games, so this will not be a big thing for the Miami, they would bounce back next game for sure.
Lebron drawing a lot of viewership still making him one of the most watch player, of course the NBA will ride on it.

But this could be a good thing for the Heat, as they have been exposed early and so we all know that coach Spo will have to make the necessary adjustment specially if they are going to face a athletic team in their next games.

And it's good to see that LaMelo has somewhat settled in early wit the Wolves and ANT playing comfortably as he knows that he has someone of another team that can create and score and not just rely on him.

I play basketball for over 30 years now and I can't recognize the game I love anymore.  

I've seen many videos that are like that, and most of them are travelling indeed, and this isn't an exception because Ball had 3 steps still before having that "gather step or the zero step" that many are saying. Basically, as long as you haven't held the ball with your 2 hands, you're still free to have many steps even though you lifted the ball already. What a rule that is.

I'm thinking of an example. Let's say somebody lifted the ball already. He didn't dribble the ball from half court to near the ring, but along the way, he carried the ball with his one hand only. Is that still a travel? Because that's what is being shown from that video where you're still okay to make many steps as long as you didn't held the ball with your 2 hands. Crazy rules coming from a crazy league, eh? I just want the league to change something with this one, but of course we will only see change AFTER the regular season. I will not be surprised if many players will maximize this rule to their advantage.

Eric always make the tweak or adjustment when its needed, he is a student of the game he always make the proper game plan after watching a lot of replays and game, beside pat will surely help him when it comes to what should be the adjustment, for sure.
Its just that Edward was really on point this game that is why the team unable to capitalized, the duo of edward and ball really make plays and shot all night long, some players of the heat did not really contribute a lot in this game.

It looks like this will be LeBron's retirement year, judging by preseason statements and his own words. The King is tired, and I think if he has a good season, he will announce his retirement. He's still very determined and still a fighter, but his body will only allow him to go so far. Winning a championship is very difficult, but after the first game, they started making people wonder, "Can they even do it?" Every NBA fan has a special fondness for LeBron; I don't think they'll make any special arrangements, but they might want to give him a successful retirement year

I don't think that he is the only one that wants a ring. The whole Sixers team, that's why they build around him and acquire Jalen Brown. Yes, it might be very hard to become a champion, but at least they have a better chance with this kind of lineup.

So it will be a home game for them, against the Cavs. And their fans are very excited to see Lebron playing in his new home. For sure this is going to be a great game again for the King and his Sixers.

It might depend on how this season will be good or bad for him, I reckon. If the 76ers reach the playoff and have a good performance, and this implies a good performance is reaching the eastern conference finals, I reckon he might take the player option on his contract and try 1 more year heheheh.

In any case, my bets are on 76ers and OKC Thunders and tomorrow my bet is on the Boston Celtic! Also, how many years has the Lakers have much white players hehehehrhr.

[tech30338]

Cavaliers really always falling short on games where they have a big lead, they are unable to push the ball properly and tends to relax, I'm not sure if this is a coach issue but you have two star players who are unable to push the tempo of the game and disappears in late games.
Embiid and Brown made a great performance tonight with James and other players helping, embiid lose a lot of weight he should have done this earlier so that injuries will not always haunt him, every playoffs, this is one of his great shape, lets see if he can continue healthy lets hope.

What a game!
That was actually the Cavs' largest blown out lead resulting to a loss, and the Sixer's one if not the biggest comeback in their franchise history.
I don't know but does the Cavs trying to accomplish the biggest choker of all time? After they had a good game 1 against the Knicks in the playoffs, they blown out a 20+ point lead which caused their post season collapse and got swept, and it looks like nothing has change in their this year in their opening night blew out a much bigger lead. 

Looks like LeBron can finally put much energy on defense now that he have elite scorers just the way he played today which made a great impact on the 2nd half comeback run. And on the other end, it looks like some coach will be in big trouble now, lol.

There are too many people and pages hate teh Greatness of Lebron James. The King always step up in those criticism. Its always too early to say and boast as the ball is round and the clock still running.
Philadelphia 76cers prove it again and took the the second half to win the game. It was more than 20 points as the half time and put 3 buckets straight to start the third quarter.

[OgNasty]

SGA’s 20 point scoring streak has come to an end. It took 2 games with the new no push-off rules. Most fraudulent MVP ever… I am glad that sanity seems to be coming back to professional basketball. If they can get control on the traveling problems and stop the players from gambling on themselves, this NBA thing could take off.

I hope this page will update its prediction and admit that they were wrong about their expectations. As long as the game isn't over there's still a chance for a comeback and LeBron proved that with his team. I haven't seen this kind of performance from the Sixers. Just like in the playoffs when the Knicks easily dominated them but with the new additions of LeBron and Brown they have proven that they are not the same team anymore.

If this had been a high-scoring game that streak might not have ended. But despite winning OKC only managed to score 96 points. SGA also had a chance to reach 20 points but his poor shooting tonight prevented that from happening. He shot just 6-for-19 from the field and only had 2 free throw attempts. Has the NBA already adjusted the way referees call fouls on him?
