Will they be hesitant when more calls will be against the offensive player rather than the D?
We may explore it more when Patrick Beverley confronts this named shooters. Grin

No idea of this, what's that new rule?

Meaning an offensive player attempting to be fouled by their defender while doing 3s is not a subject now for a sure call even there's a contact? Unless a clear and intentional foul. Like for example. Harden for three, fake, the defender will jump, Harden will bump the defender on air, foul!

No problem with Curry but for Harden, that's a problem. That was Harden's habit on Houston Rockets and he was always successful in doing that lol.

Yes, that's the new rule. It will be called an offensive foul if the shooter is the one moving forward after a fake or a hesitation move.
Harden will surely need a lot of adjustments and then Trae Young also with his sudden stops bumping to the defender behind him to attract a foul.
It's either the referee will not call anything or it will be against the offensive player.
I bet it will be a little trickier in the start but that is the right call. There have been signs that is being abused by shooter while they already put the hand check rule for them. That's too much "plus" for them, its time to stop it.
The new rule was discussed last year but will fully implemented now.

Lol, Haters gonna hate though, still early to conclude that there's no chemistry and that they are a good 7th-8th place team. Gonna love those haters, and we all know that Lebron just want some fuel to his quest for another ring and tie the GOAT Michael Jordan at 6.

Yep, let's see the regular games first.
They gave us a good chance to peek at their strength in this preseason and I can say these veterans sure have a lot of energy even with their age.
Watching Dwight move like he was still in his 20's makes me wonder if he will ever retire this game.
Blocks, Alleyoops, Switch, and Pick and roll, he can still do it and there is no trace of being a 35-year-old guy. Grin

While the Lakers have him, I am sure the rim will always be protected and so does the team with his bully ball style.

I think Dwight is really undervalued by the league, yes, he is no longer in his prime, but the most important thing he can provide is the intimidation and the psyche war, specially against big men.
It was so evident during their championship run 2 years ago, he was very instrumental to make Jokic very uncomfortable in their playoff series. And as you have said, Rondo and James alley oop pass and then totally destroying the ring. He will still be a big factor in Lakers if they are going to make it to the finals this year.

^ This Lakers team is full of experienced players like Lebron, Dwight, Carmelo, and even Anthony Davis. Their chemistry has been all over the place in the preseasons but I'm very optimistic that it will improve over time. And oh Dwight has been the cherry on top for them. It doesn't even seem like he is 35 years old. I just hope and pray that they get their chemistry right asap.

7-14 shooting from 3 point line, that's awesome but it's not special for Curry as he can make that every game he wants. He is gifted with sharpshooting ability, he will continue to score and carry the team, but if his splash brother will come back, it will be harder to guard Curry as Thompson could also do the same if he is not guarded well.

Even if I consider that this is just normal for him, when he does his moves on the floor everything seems to change. It's like a brand new Curry again that surpasses his own every year. You can't take your eyes off him when he starts holding the ball.

How much change will the defensive guy do to take advantage of the new rule that was provided by the NBA? I want to witness if that will change the shooting style of Curry and other shooters like Harden and Dame. Will they be hesitant when more calls will be against the offensive player rather than the D?

Players like Curry always have that caliber to adjust. He already knew that, right?

He's been the first one who experienced that adjustment from this new rule, but he didn't get the offensive foul, though
and coach Kerr smile since that play happened in front of him and that shots, if I remember it correctly, is a valid foul.

Curry was good at attracting defense but with these new rules, adjustment is really needed not to be annoyed if ref will not
call or if shit happens, shooters will get the foul instead.

Now we wait for Tuesday night to see the Nets vs Bucks & Warriors vs Lakers on TNT. I’ll be watching for sure… the timing seems perfect for Bitcoin to hit an all time high then as well. Sounds like all the makings for a great evening.

Lakers is -4.5 against the Warriors +4.5. I'm not sure who wins this game opening match, but a huge possiblity the game could go over 230. So, I guess betting "over" is most likely a good bet considering that these two teams have both offensive fire power. The GSW roster this year seems like everyone could shoot a three with a high percentage fg, and so the Lakers won't back down on scoring as well.

Lakers with -4.5 could also be a good bet. Who knows they could be a dominating team and way too different on what we have seen in the pre-season games.

Lakers are just warming up, preseasons got a lot of critics and LeBron love that it will serve as his inspiration.

This upcoming regular season will be the deciding factor to see if they are really aging or they are still the favorite to win this year's title.

We never know what LeBron is planning, together with his new Pal, though they are not new since he already played with them during the all-star / Olympics.

We will see more from this team and how they will adjust and make a good conversion from each game that they will play.

Steph was special tonight… Dame was out, but still. A great way to end the preseason. Now we wait for Tuesday night to see the Nets vs Bucks & Warriors vs Lakers on TNT. I’ll be watching for sure… the timing seems perfect for Bitcoin to hit an all time high then as well. Sounds like all the makings for a great evening.

What an anticipated game to start the regular season, I'll be watching these matches for sure. Well, happy for those who HODL from that $30k or below and we're really back up at the $60k. Looks like this is the best season for those who love NBA and Bitcoin, exhilarating.

Although it was preseason, but it was a Curry show all the way. The guy scored a huge amount of 41 points and took 9 rebounds. I felt like Curry was all over the court today. What a match for him! This indicates and I'm hopeful that he will have another great season, possibly maybe win them the conference? who knows? I personally am very eagerly waiting for the GSW vs Lakers game. It will be a banger of a match.

We all know how dangerous Thompson is, he can shoot a cold-blooded 3s, and many times he helps the warriors to win in a series, even if they are already down 1-3 in the series. however, the main concern of his "fan" is, if he could still be the same Klay that is one of the best 3 point shooters in the NBA and a decent defender as well.

The best for them is to reach the playoffs first and preseason was more like a warm up I guess for every team much more for the Lakers team imo. I think it's not only Dwight to look out for since Jordan is a massive feat too for the front court as well as Davis, they have the best versatile team to be honest and most are expecting them to get that ring.

I don’t think I agree the Lakers have been horrible. Sure, they lost all their games, but I’ve seen a lot of progress. Russell Westbrook and DeAndre Jordan working out their pick n rolls has been something to see… LeBron and Dwight looking great together also. It’s clear they’re working on specific things and not worrying about the score. Come the 19th I think you’ll see a different Lakers team out there really punishing people.

A lot of options really for the Lakers and they might be doing experiment on it this pre-season games.

Or maybe they are just trying to trick us, like Westbrook awful game and a lot of turnovers. And that pick n roll will be very effective and Westbrook loves to throw this kind of pass. And with DeAndre and Dwight, it could be easy 2 points for either the 2. So I'm expecting a different Lakers once the real games starts this 19th.

^^ Only two teams that I saw that happen, The Bulls 1995-1996 season (not sure if some of you have been born already) and then the Warriors 2015-2016.

Those two teams are great, they've been playing for years before they dominate the league.

So I'm not sure if Lakers with their current line up can accomplished it within one season. Not saying that they are not that good, but with the level of competition right now, it's going to be very difficult.

Lakers will not do it, they are struggling in the preseason already and that's an evidence that they will not do well early in the regular season. They will have to work on their chemistry first before I would say they have a chance, and remember, Lebron is not young anymore, he has some limitations that's why he chooses to play with the star players so his burden will be lighter.

I agree, it's hard to duplicate the teams that won 70++ games in single season, not Lakers or Nets this year. Lebron is still playing high caliber, but he is no longer in his prime and so is the majority of the Lakers team. They can go and run for the championship though, but winning a lot of games will be tough. Maybe 50 games is more likely 55++ is a stretch.

I would suggest you don't get your hopes up too high about Lakers. They're known for poor performances and constant disappointment to fans. Westbrook has been trying but not enough. I remember when the highlight of last season was about the big 3 of Brooklyn Nets. We all saw how it ended. Hoping they find their rhythm soon.

Westbrook needs to realize that this team is Lebrons team and he needs to be second player or even third player behind AD and that is going to be something very hard psychologically for him to accept but that is the only way.

Most likely, Davis will be the third player, not Russell. However, I agree that Westbrook should adapt his style of play to James, AD, and other teammates. Also, he shouldn't worry about triple-doubles during the regular season and especially in the playoffs if he really wants to win the first title in his career.
