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...

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'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.
