2027 NBA Season

[SatsPH]

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.

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?

I think the NBA has adjusted already, there were able some physically between him and Aaron Gordon that the referee didn't call and so SGA was really mad at the referee. But it's good to see that they made that big revision already. So no more flopping from this former MVP.

He just had a bad shooting as well that's why his streak ended. Although he did have a chance to score 20 points but it seems that winning is more important on them than keeping a record.

The most important rule change the NBA needs to make is a re-evaluation of the traveling rules. At crucial moments in the game, a star player gets the ball, takes 6-7 steps, and dunks. Even though it's completely against the rules, nobody calls a traveling violation, making watching the game incredibly unpleasant.

First, the Eurostep rules were changed, then, to avoid spoiling the show, the concept of traveling was completely eliminated. We experience the same thing every game, and I find it truly frustrating.

SGA set a very difficult record; playing with such statistics for over 140 games was truly something incredibly difficult to achieve

If they can get control on the traveling problems

This is what the NBA should address. Some are abusing the loophole of the step gather. While there are really some uncalled travels, some are just using the step gather loophole so they aren't getting called. Just like what LaMelo did, since the ball is still moving/spinning, he takes a few steps before he gathers it. Giannis is also known for doing this. Richard Jefferson also explained it on his podcast, featuring a clip of Giannis.

If that is true then it's good progress for the NBA, it only shows that they listen to the fans as I don't really think SGA is NBA MVP material, he is just good at drawing fouls and I didn't like it when he won the MVP because I felt that Jokic was robbed of that title. So now, if they stay consistent with those calls, his chances will drop, maybe Edwards will have a better chance now.

Unfortunately, they will only address it after this season. If you will observe it, they're not making any big changes on the rules once the regular season has already started.
- They implemented the "Harden Rule" after Harden dominated the regular season with free throws and those stepbacks out there.
- They changed the rule regarding shove off after the season where SGA dominated the league.

We're just at the start of the season, and we're seeing this already. Funny how the league is becoming, eh? Well, I'm still enjoying watching the game anyway, but I just don't want some of their rules just like that "gather step" which gives an opportunity for the player to make 6-7 steps while they lift the ball. TBH I will not be surprised if Ball abuse this rule to his advantage, and the referees? They'll just act like they didn't see anything. Funny.

Both Philadelphia and LeBron have had a very strong start to the regular season.
Considering his age, LeBron has logged significant playing time in both of these games. In the first matchup—an away game against New York—his team secured a 106–100 victory, with LeBron contributing 14 points. Philadelphia, meanwhile, kicked off their season by defeating the reigning champions.
In last night’s game, Philadelphia took down Cleveland 114–106 on their home court. LeBron recorded 17 points and 10 rebounds, notching a double-double.
I’ve started to wonder in which game LeBron will record a triple-double. He is truly showing the whole world that he is a king in every sense of the word.

The Knicks SIGNED Dalton Knecht to a 2-way contract. That is probably his last chance at making an NBA squad. I feel a little bit bad for him as the Lakers grabbed him with some unreal expectations, but the Knicks are giving him a legitimate chance to make it on their squad without any expectations at all. We’ll see what happens.

Guy averaged 17points in college and was drafted in the 1st round of the NBA draft a few years ago. I think there is a spot for him in the NBA but the Lakers expect a lot from their players and maybe this kid couldn't adjust to the NBA as fast as he wanted. He may spend some development time in the G league but I think after a year of growing and adjusting we see him in an NBA uniform full time.

Good, at least we will still see DK for some guys. With the Lakers, he was not given any game time that's why some fans are not familiar with him. But during his college days, he was one of the best guys.

So yes, let's see what happens but he might be used sparingly though by the Knicks. Unless they want to explore his potential and needed a two way that can stretch the floor as he was a threat from the outside.

Wemby blocked at the buzzer to lose the game. Brutal. It has not been his year so far. Most surprising thing about the season to me so far.

wemby got blocked by Amen Thompson a 6'7" guy, lol...

Hey guys, is this your MVP?

Rockets weren't really wrong for giving Thompson a huge contract worth $208 million, it's worth it, that kind of winning play is what makes a player very important.
should we call him a clutch player now?

And the ironic part is that the two teams that face in the last seasons finals are 2-0. Just bad start for both of this two as there were high hopes that maybe the Knicks can duplicate their championship and then Wemby putting up MVP numbers.

I guess there is no perfect start of the season now, everyone should be treated as equal specially that many teams have upgraded their roster to really go after the championship. For Wemby, just bad start but for sure they will get their first win sooner.

LeBron doesn’t do himself any favors either. Being disrespectful during the national anthem for someone in year 24 is crazy. Maybe the media went a little too far with it, but he should be setting a better example in my opinion. Star athletes shouldn’t be having the President talking bad about them. LeBron needs to do better.

For sure every move of Lebron are going to be scrutinized by the media and this time he was caught and so the President call Lebron for this act. Yes, he should have known better to be respectful with their national anthem.

What LeBron did was absolutely wrong, and i support the President for calling him out, because I don’t see any reason why he should be practicing whatever golf he was doing there, it was absolutely disgusting and disgraceful to the American Flag, I’m not an American but it’s disgusting for an adult to be doing such thing, he deserves all the criticism he is getting, LeBron knows he has done something wrong and he admitted it was a bad day in office, I’m expecting him to apologize to Americans for his actions, but I don’t believe he is of no good, he should take responsibilities for his actions.

If you read articles about Rockets beat Spurs, you will see that Amen's block Wemby is been the highlight of their report https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25519630-rockets-beat-spurs-after-clutch-amen-block-wemby-box-score-stats-highlights-kd-top-players

And crazy to watch how Wemby perform so bad this season, although he scored double double in their second game, but that's not enough to help his team to win.

Seeing how Amen perform, Rockets didn't really made a mistake for giving him such huge contract. They manage to win 2 times in a row and it seems they are so promising this season.

Lebron should be criticise on this matter alone, well he did that very wrong and should not be tolerated and he is a big star and many kids are looking at him good. But that alone, well LBJ is being criticise everyday for being the king and the best in basketball even he dont do bad. He should be more careful now as people are watching him daily. He should know coz he do good or ba, the criticism is always there.


Wemby the Alien blocked for a winning shot! wow!

That will silence the doubters who believe that the contract is quite too much since the player is not even a scoring machine, but look at his impact, his defense was really evident and in this game he had 2 blocks and 2 steals, that's a big thing especially against a strong team. And his scoring is improving too, as he had 20 points and even grabbed 10 rebounds, now that's what a complete player looks like.

Amen Thompson is a beast on Rockets before he was forced to do the PG position since Vanvleet was injured and Sheppard is unproductive. He do a lot of hustle plays on both defense and offense like young Kawhi back in San Antonio.

This current roster is the Rockets best roster assuming there will be no major player who will be injured.

It’s a bad day to bet again for Spurs but at least we saw Wemby finally recovered from his bad performance on their first game against OKC.

Warriors Receive Bad News on Stephen Curry After Another Costly Loss

The veteran guard suggested he would probably miss the team’s next game against the Phoenix Suns, although a final decision remains with the medical staff.

Reporter Nick Friedell tweeted the following update.

“Steph on playing tomorrow night in Phoenix: ‘Probably not. But I’ll talk to the (medical) staff.’”

https://heavy.com/sports/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-bad-news-stephen-curry-costly-loss/

Bad start with 0-2 in the standings now, and then this.

The Warriors badly need someone to step up their game on their roster. It's not like everything will rotate on Steph anymore because there will be injuries and probably bad days when he will miss games. Draymond Green is not that much effective whenever Steph misses his games. Perhaps they could find a new duo for Green to make those same plays like what they do with Steph.

But truthfully, this season doesn't look good for the Warriors.

having a experience point guard in the floor with a champion caliber is a big deal and a big boost to the team, he can dictate tempo, he can reads the floor, the have better spacing, what they really need to take care like what you said is injury this will always be the problem of any team, and to be able to make the players healthy along the way can make the team reach deeper in the playoffs and could be in the west finals if they able to beat the top teams.

I watched the highlights of the San Antonio vs. Houston game. It was a truly great matchup. Alperen did everything he could to help Houston secure the win. I also noticed that both San Antonio and New York have had poor starts to the NBA season; neither team has a win yet.
The game between San Antonio and Houston was very evenly matched.
In the final seconds, a block by Amen Thompson on Wemby ultimately secured the victory for Houston.
Houston has started the season very well. My biggest concern, however, is that Ime Udoka might end up doing some nonsensical things down the line—at times, it’s as if he doesn’t even know what he’s doing.
