2027 NBA Season

[stadus]

Looks like the Heat got tired because of their back-to-back games, I thought they would have a back to back wins.

Well, they lost to the Warriors, the first half was good, but in the 2nd half, especially the 3rd quarter, the Warriors dominated. (38-23)
Klay did not perform well this time and only scored 11 points, but worst for Wiggins as he was really underperforming in this game as he only had 2 points.

Curry was still solid though as he led the team with 29 points.

I saw a couple clips of Giannis looking lost out there. I think maybe he is struggling to learn the system or something. Miami will get it figured out eventually. It is surprising how bad they’ve been.

I'm positive he will eventually learn it, but the good news is that Miami is not really a bad team as they are still winning some games. Currently ranked 10th, so there's a big improvement, though it's not good if they just stay at this rank as they need to go through the play-in where they could possibly be eliminated. I'm not so optimistic, but I think Miami will easily reach at least 8th place by the end of the season.

Meanwhile Philly has been going crazy and LeBron leads the league in lowest fg% allowed on defense.

They will play tomorrow against the Cavaliers, and they already beat them this season as the head-to-head record is 1-0, let's see if they can win again, this time on the road.

Oh yeah, this new Warriors team is really scary.

Battling against their former teammates, Wiggins and Klay Thompson of the Miami Heat, the Warriors used their deep roster to win the game with Steph Curry on the lead. Yaxel Lendeborg is truly an amazing rookie, and he can play other positions depending on the needs of the Warriors. 17 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block. Steph may still be their captain, but the rookie is already showing something that the Warriors may want to preserve for their future.

Klay though was still welcome in the arena as he received a lot of cheers. Even Steph was really having some fun,

Their rookie though is really great as what you have said. Lots of promises and he could be the James Wiseman that they might have seen in the future until Wiseman becomes a bust.

As compare to Durant, Kyrie and Harden who are in their primes when they moved to Brooklyn. But then there are so many issues around that time that they didn't click despite a big hype on them.

Well, on the one hand, the Nets' failure back then was due to injuries. On the other hand, the reason the Nets weren't able to perform well at the time, despite having what seemed, on paper, to be such a strong roster, might have been the selfishness of those players. After all, Durant, Irving, and Harden all love to score, and personal stats were more important to them than the team's results; at least that's how it seemed.

I voted for the other and it's because I was impressed by two teams, Blazers and the Memphis. By how Memphis is doing right now, they don't have that extravagant roster and yet, they're making it good for their first games. Although they have two losses now compared to the Trail Blazers but, it's not that far with how they're doing with Ja and Dame. While for the West, Pistons has become consistent for every regular season.

Too early to say for Memphis, although it really looks impressive, but I would go with the Sixers. Maybe we can say that it's predictable as the they have not just big 3 but big 4. But they have been beating good teams and then making a huge comeback.

Lakers too, with Luka putting MVP numbers and leading the team with some unknown players and not that deep as compare to the Sixers. Portland too, with Lillard. But I will go with Sixers as not only impressive but I think they can sustain this run.

It's okay, and the season is too long for them to see that they'll end up with a better standing. But, can't deny that their start is impressive, although their first opponents weren't that great teams, let's just give that to them. Because we can see with good teams, they're struggling to have good results. 76ers are no doubt the good one because of their lineup, and it's expected that they'll do good for this season. No one will know and we'll have to see how all of these teams will do during the run for this year.

Definitely NOT Memphis. Sure, the have a lot of wins but as I have said before look at who they played. Sacramento and Utah twice (that's half of their games basically), those 2 teams are terrible and will go nowhere this season. They beat basically nobody that is half way a contender, not even close. Now they lost against NO and Indiana, also 2 projected garbage teams. In the end Memphis will be way below 50%, it's not gonna be even close.

I'm happy that I'm not the only one who thinks that the start of the Memphis is just a fluke, and at the end of the regular season, they'll just be a lottery team.

Like what you said, they even lost to the Pelicans and the Pacers who I don't think I can consider as a garbage team just like Brooklyn and Sacramento, but they're a lottery team to say at least especially New Orleans. I also looked at their next 10 games, and only 5 of them are against playoff-contending teams (OKC, Toronto, Denver, Cleveland and Minnesota). They'll be tested next month where they'll up against the top teams for the majority of the time. Like you, I also see them as a below .500 team, and at best a few games above it. A play-in team if they will surprise me, but the good thing about them is that, they'll have time to develop Boozer, and probably Ty Jerome then they can add some all-star in the future if they can.

Oh yeah, this new Warriors team is really scary.

They picked a good forward from the draft, Lendeborg. He's doing great while Butler is still out. So many teams pick 18-19 year old players, picking a 24-yo was looking like a gamble but it worked in their favor so far.


Sixers @ Cavs tonight. I picked this game to watch. It's a great joy to watch Sixers this season. It's also part of NBA Cup game, not that too many care about it but still... A cup is a cup. Last season Knicks won it and eventually they became NBA champion too.

Kristaps Porzingis really disappeared, popped back for a second to say he didn’t have HIV, then retired from basketball. One of the weirder endings of an NBA career that I can remember. I wonder if we’ll ever find out what all that was about…

This is what he posted last month,

And it was said a auto-immune system condition - Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).

So there's a lot of complications, and maybe that is the reason why he might have decided to retire.

[Maslate]

Sixers must have been tired in this game as I thought they would give the Cavaliers a good game since they beat them before on their home court, but this time it was different, at the Cavaliers' home court, they bounced back and made a statement by handing the Sixers their 2nd loss in the series, what a blowout (95-119).

He is dealing with this issue before, its too early for him to retire, he should ask for second opinion regarding his health, honestly he got a lot left in the tank, he can help a team beat other teams just like what he did in boston, he just need to be healthy, and for sure he can still score a lot.

You can't win them all, and yeah, the 76ers have been in a winning streak. However, when you travel, there is this element of fatigue and so it was a blow out lost and good to see that the Cavs has somewhat bounce back.

Luka with another monster game against Portland with 53 big points. He has been putting this MVP numbers lately and has been averaging 38.5++ points already and one of the biggest average in Lakers uniform.

There are gamesnwhich no matter how hard you try you cant win, that game with cavaliers is one of them, sadly the haters are xounting this as a way to yet again throw stones at lebron saying he cant carry the team, the guy is 41 years of age, and putting big numbers, but they will say, jordan will be able to make big numbers, that is too much , they will alqays find ways to say things like this to lebron.

I'm not aware of it until I read that he has this issues when he was still in Boston. But I guess it might have worsen as it's hard to fight his kind of auto immune disease obviously as there might not be drugs or something.

And it shows that it might affect him playing as it will degrade his auto immune and so it's not advisable to play basketball anymore. We can only hope for him to recover from this and who knows, maybe make a comeback later in his career.

yeah. the nonsense written and said about him doesn't change the fact that he's currently the best active basketball player. He's playing much more focused and much more efficiently this season. even on defense...

The problem with this people is they are so attach to old players , even though they see how great new players is , they will dislike them because they idolized the old players, they should drop this kind of act because people will be watching on

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), a neurological disease.

That's the guess of the media. He will be focusing on taking care of his health, and he will probably be out for a while. It was said that he had been in contact with the medical team of the Golden State Warriors and he made the decision to go away to take care of his medical condition.

Thankfully, the Warriors are doing great, but I think the NBA will give them some space for them to acquire a new player that fill the gap of Porzingis.

Second loss for the Sixers and i gonna say that it was a bad night, their field goals are bad and turnovers all around the court. They should bounce back soon and ii believe they can do that .
Their next game will be on Sunday night against Chicago bulls.

Luka Doncic performance this season is a monster! I hope he will stay healthy through out the season and make it to the play-offs.

[OgNasty]

Luka had himself a game last night. Now he’s having the best start of any player in the last 50 years. Looks like he’s going for an MVP this season…

Looking at the schedule today… Peacock is airing the Atlanta Hawks vs Brooklyn Nets game. Here I was worried I wouldn’t have the opportunity to watch all the Hawks games this year… Seriously, what was Peacock thinking?

[2stout]

Luka is off to an unreal start.  I wonder if he'll be able to maintain this for the whole season (40.1/ppg, 7.8/rpg, 7.7/apg).  Even if he doesn't but is close, he may win the MVP in a landslide, barring significant injury.  If he drops to 30ppg, you may have a competitive MVP race- always have to keep an eye on Joker.

if the Lakers had a roster structure similar to other teams right now, very different things would be said about both him and his team. however, the fact that huge success isn't expected from the team ends up being a source of motivation for his critics.
