2027 NBA Season

[LogitechMouse]

Anyway, Yaxel Lendeborg is gaining a lot of attention right now due to his great performance against the Clippers. 37 points in 34 minutes with 4 rebounds and 6 assists. He is a rookie, and he set a record for the most points by a Warriors rookie since Steph Curry.

In the last 5 games, he has consistently made 20+ points except for just one game. I think this young forward can do a lot of great things, but the consistency must stay.
Yaxel was the 11th pick in the first round of the draft.

Thought the Warriors would lose that game as they didn't have Curry and Green, turns out they were still very dominant at home.

I lost my bet actually on this one, now I'm convinced that the Clippers will really tank this season as they can't even beat a team led by a rookie. I haven't followed this player much but with that kind of performance, I think coach Kerr will be happy to develop him and hopefully the Warriors can still be a playoff contender this season.

The Clippers are just a trash team right now. With no real all-star with their team, and add also the fact that they don't have any draft picks to build their team with, this team will just be a trash team in the next 3-5 years.

The Warriors still have the rookie which I voted for the "Rookie of the Year" BTW because... why not? I mean he has been playing really well in their first 6 games, and he's been the 2nd option on offense on the Warriors. Well, he can do this because Butler is still out due to an injury, but once he comes back, he'll be moved to 4 maybe or he might be their center and go for a small ball line-up with Tingus Pingus out still because of that mysterious injury. Coach Kerr usually hates rookies, but with how Lendeborg is playing, I also believe that he'll thrive under him, and who knows. He might be the another face of the team besides Podz.
Anyway, we will have ALL teams playing tomorrow, and I've already put my 15-leg parlay for it on BiggerZ

I will not list all of the teams that I put my bet with, and TBH, I don't have any faith on that bet. I risked a small amount anyway, so maybe some could try it as well just for fun. Good luck with your bets.

Jokic recorded his 200th triple-double last night. He became the second player in history to achieve this. Russell Westbrook leads the list with 209 but he retired. Jokic will surpass him in 25-30 games at max and take the top spot. It's crazy that he can put together these statistics so effortlessly.

There is no doubt that Jokic will be able to surpass that. If Russ is just 9 more with his triple-doubles, seeing Jokic as his peak right now it will be possible, maybe at the end of this season.

To understand just how absurd Jokic's numbers are, we can look at triple-double totals of a few other superstars. Bird 59, Jordan 28, Kobe 21, Durant 18, Curry 10.

People still don't see how mad this big guy is. He's very talented, all of the height he's got and how he plays. Looks not playing too hard at all the way he plays but certainly contributes a lot to the team.

I am late to see this but I gotta write something about him. I think it was unimaginable that a center could do this. He is really something else, an incredible player. It is a little bit an absurd thought but I consider him the goat, at least in the modern times. He should have won the Embiid's mvp that year. Westbrook's record was incredible and a center is passing him, think about that. His passing and his basketball IQ is also wonderous. Even though he is not a flashy superstar and cannot win games alone(naturally but also like in the national team level), what he brings to court always impresses me.

Yes, we see a huge potential from him. Have you guys seen what he said about flopping and how he is adjusting the league? I find that very interesting and he seems to be smart player. Can be great in the future.

I hope you hit that big one tomorrow. I've tried parlays many times but I had no luck with them, now I'm focused on bet builder and I find it better since you can combine your bets in just one game, but the sad part is that there's a limit on the odds so it's not as big as a parlay where even x1000 odds are possible. ( how much did you bet?, I wanna compute in advance )

Proposal for new forum thread poll...

With the NBA Cup now in full swing, that seems like the perfect opportunity to have a poll to see who the community thinks will win it.  Looks like it will be going on all month with the deciding game in early December.  Perfect for a forum poll. 

Not sure who I think will win yet.  I'll have to take a look at the bracket before making my pick.

Yeah, I agree with this. If OP is active, I hope he will see this. (Last post was October 17, but I think he logged in recently)

What a performance for him, seems the Golden State warriors finds another gem in the draft, i hope Draymond will not ruin it again like pole, he is still a rookie so he is still learning from the veterans but if he continue like this he will be the new star of the team, that is also if Kerr will not sit him or treat him like what he did with kuminga, this coach has been in love with small ball, but never make any tweak with the strategy making it obsolete, and already knew and scouted.

OKC will be playing the home team Cavaliers tomorrow who have never been defeated at home with a 3-0 record, and OKC has been struggling with 2 straight losses already, but this team has not experienced 3 consecutive losses since 2024, so I think it's a good factor to consider betting on them in this game.

Although their previous 2 losses do not look good, I think they'll bounce back strong.

What do you think about this? a go or a no?

I would say it's a no go, it's not about having a poor run of form, it's about being heavily shorthanded, No JDub, Cason Wallace, Holmgren and no Alex Caruso, it's basically just Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Hartenstein and a bunch of role players holding the fort, while Cavaliers have not been a team to depend to win even what should be easy games, I would say one might be expecting to much of the Thunder to still be half as good as they were with the number of guys they are missing.

Still on the OKC Thunder matters, the franchise have announced that they'll be retiring Russell Westbrook's No. 0 on February 7, meaning they're not bringing him out of retirement as asked by some reporter some days ago.

Lots of great games on tonight but for some reason the game that Peacock decided to pick up is the Atlanta Hawks vs the Indiana Pacers. Whoever at Peacock is a Hawks fan has absolutely destroyed their NBA coverage. They had one good set of games opening day and then nothing but garbage. I need to remember to cancel my subscription.

They are currently playing in the 2nd quarter and the Thunder has a slight lead. They really need to bounce back strong here as they are playing in their homecourt and they really need to get out a win to bring back that confidence.

Although we would understand because they've lost 3 of their best players to injury and only SGA is doing everything. But if someone can step up tonight, like Ajay Mitchell (who is leading them in scoring right now), and Jared McCain or Jaylin Williams, this might be a close game and could go down the wire.

For me that bounce back still counts even if the roster is short handed.Cavaliers 3 point shots and assists were insane compared to Thunder, was surprised the points difference is not that huge. It went down to the wire like you said, OKC won 117-112. SGA dropped 43 and hit that late 3, Ajay Mitchell also stepped up with 20.

Draymond Green choking Dillon Brooks seemed a bit over the top. Draymond is getting a little crazier each year it seems. Only a matter of time before he hurts someone (again). I think the league needs to do something about it this time. I’m expecting at least a fine and maybe some suspended games being announced tomorrow.

Sometimes we just have to read the line well, because if I were to consider what you said, then I would easily convince myself to bet on the Cavaliers, However, seeing the line with OKC at just +4.5 I would already presume that bettors would put their money on the home team, that's why I faded them and it paid off well. ( this time I was right, not sure tomorrow) 

[OgNasty]

^ Speaking of OKC, it seems like the rumors about them bringing back Russell Westbrook out of retirement to help the injury filled team were a little incorrect. They announced that they’re going to be retiring his jersey so I don’t think we’ll be seeing him wearing it during a game again. Good for Russ anyway. He deserves it.

What do we expect from him, he always want to be the alpha in the court but it always causing him and the team a lot because of his actions, he will never change he always wan't to be a bad boy in the court, if i were the GSW its better to trade him to get a young players that will not be a headache, its just business so there is no hurt feelings.
They have given him a lot in GSW, so its only fair, brooks not as aggressive before he learn from a lot of mistakes fines etc.,

He is already not relevant to the league being an ass is the only thing he can consistently do to remain relevant in the league. However, Brooks is the same ass player so I have no interest if Green was fine or suspended since both of them are a troublemaker that are not on the prime.

NBA is already evolving with this promising young rookie every year that carrying their team that break the stereotype old school all star players in the league.

Yeah, you were right this time, lol! Sometimes you've just got to with your guts! Congratulations on your bet!

I was heavily focused on the OKC Thunder problems and didn't pay much attention to the Cavs being somewhat inconsistent in these types of games, I mean if they can't beat an OKC side being this much depleted, I wonder what they're doing as contenders, they're always focused on putting 3-5 shots up under a minute with zero care of proper execution whether it goes in or not. Props to Shai for doing the heavy lifting, 43 points on a 40% FG and their record of not losing 3 straight games since 2024 lives on.

Thats right, on February 7, 2027 The OKC will retire the jersey of Russel Westbrook at Paycom Center, Oklahoma City. This might happen during the half time game show.
I dont see also Russ will make a comeback as he is not that type of person.

Another Win for the Philadelphia Sixer and now with Houston Rocket they are leading on their conference. An early question, If Philly will stay healthy, big chance for 75 wins ?

It might be, but we all know that Draymond has history of this kind of wild over the top fouls. How about him kicking players in their groin? It didn't happen once, but many times so for sure he knows what he is doing.

Besides, he might be out of the league for the next couple of years as I don't think that the Warriors will have enough gas to become a champion (sorry Warriors fans). I wouldn't be surprised if the commissioner will suspend him because of this incident.

Dominant win by the sixers they are really starting to take shape as a top team in the east, if this team will continue to be healthy and players will be consistent they will be in the playoffs for 3-4 years straight, Russ retiring was still a shock to other fans as he still can leaf higher, the problem is there is no team that is offering him that is why he decided to retire, the Thunder could have take him, and make a farewell tour to honor his service and commitment to the thunder sadly after wasting his career with OKC, they never did, but now they are retiring his jersey maybe they are pressured with the fans calling it, they have no choice.

He's long time tagged as trouble maker and its not surprising to see him doing such act, since he always do crazy things.

That's the reason why he receive to many technical.

Actually he don't need to do those stints, since if he just focus on performing. Then try to help their team, maybe they might get much wins. But he choose to be so crazy, then got an issue. This is the problem of Warriors, they always got an issue defensively. Once Green is out in their roster.

He probably needs a rehab either at Power Slap or he needs a debut in the UFC ring. If NBA hasn't gone soft with all these fines and whatnot, I think players would really be wild some of the time in the court, but we're in the soft era basketball already and what makes it hard for players are these fines imposed on them. I guess suspension and fine will be good but I doubt if he'll learn a lesson until there's someone who will probably match his energy to start a brawl. Anyways, I don't think he's that tough.
