Have you noticed the Eastern Division standings? 21-15 record from 4th to 8th place hehe. The playoffs is going to be more competitive in the East this season.

Quote from: EFS on January 08, 2024, 11:11:53 PM

Heat was better even without Jimmy Buckets. Balanced first half but Heat took control in third quarter. Herro and Adebayo did the job well.

Their roster has depth and they can play together so Jimmy's absence isn't felt that much but I don't think the team is better without him. Bench players like Jovic or Highsmith can fill his position from time to time but nobody can do it consistently. Even Robinson couldn't.

Quote

Jaime Jaquez Jr.'s development is going pretty good. He plays as he isn't drafted from 18th but top 8.

This is probably the result of completing college basketball before entering the NBA. The foundation is already there.

The Grizzlies are truly in a miserable condition upon knowing the medical report of Ja Morant having a shoulder injury that will sideline him for the entire season. We are hopeful that the injury does not have a career effect on the performance of Ja Morant. What I am aware of is that an ACL injury can end a career. The fate of the Grizzlies this season is blurry. They are done. They are a terrible team before the comeback of Morant, and they are again in the same condition.

Even at the start of the season, they are in bad shape as Morant has been suspended and Jackson and Bane can't carry the team. But when he did come back, they won several games, close game and Morant provided the spark and we thought that they are back in business.

Another frustrating report is the injury of Tyrese Haliburton. The official results of his MRI, which he will undergo, are being awaited. The Pacers are defeating the best teams of the league led by this multitalented point guard and a serious injury is a big blow to them.

Pacers won against the Boston Celtics without Haliburton, but it could be a bad sign for them as he gets injured. Let's see the MRI, hopefully it's not that worst as we expected. Although if I'm not mistaken, Harden has this kind of injuries before but he come back after that injuries and looks fine.

They actually bet the Suns on the road without Durant, however, I'm not sold with that though. I think I will agree with you, I'm not expecting anymore that they will make it to the playoffs, or even in the play-in as Morant is the heart and soul of the team.

I hope he will be fine though, just a sprain ankle and that he could come back. Pacers having a great season, with their standing and the trend so far, they will likely make it to the playoffs. So just like Morant's impact to his team, Hali also has a big impact.

They’re saying Ja Morant is out for the season with his injury now. Ouch. The dangers of making a star athlete sit idle for so long… It’s quite possible he’ll never be the same after this and it’s very likely the result of his suspension. Not the greatest look for the NBA.

What bad news, Steve Adams was also injured and now Ja Morant was also injured, what a bad time for the Grizzlies, anyway, I hope they make a good recovery and return as soon as possible.

Talking about injuries, was the hamstring injury that Tyrese Haliburton suffered was something serious? Any update?

That's sad, the shoulder injury could affect his shooting and since he is a very aggressive player, he could be prone to injury. I hope the injury isn't that bad though, but it's a season ending injury. I can't believe we will lose another entertaining star this season, now the Memphis are done.

The news about the injury.
Grizzlies star Ja Morant to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery after tearing labrum at practice

Quote

Ja Morant’s season is over.

Morant sustained a torn labrum in his right shoulder and is set to undergo season-ending surgery in the coming days, the Memphis Grizzlies announced on Monday night. Morant sustained the injury in a training session on Saturday, the team said, and an MRI confirmed the injury on Monday.

This injury will not only affect Ja Morant shooting but also his gameplay, more likely affecting his ball handling. It looks like what happened to Derrick Rose's basketball career might also happen to Ja Morant but the difference is Rose already won an MVP. Ja Morant season ending injury is a setback for the Memphis Grizzlie playoff hopes this year. It's disappointing when a key player gets injured. Hopefully the team can still perform well despite Ja Morant is out again.

It's really sad to hear this kind of story, specially on such athletic player like Ja Morant as he has to suffer a season ending injury. Although it's not in his achilles as this is more prevalent on players that jump high and then go down awkward, still it's a injury that can really affect him.

So we can only hope that he can come back next season fully healed so that we can witness Morant in his still prime years. And again, expect him to be back strong and think that his injury will not bother him.

It became clear that the losses in the Lakers were psychological.
Los Angeles Lakers, who lost four of their last five games, beat a team like Los Angeles Clippers by 106-103.
The Clippers were definitely the clear favorite in the match, but the Lakers won and got a surprise victory.
The Lakers will play two more games at home on Wednesday and Friday and will face Toronto on Wednesday. Toronto will be the favorite in the match. Because Toronto's away statistics are considered good. If the Lakers pass the Toronto hurdle, we can comment that the team is starting to form again.

I was surprised. They lost against weak teams and yet won against the strong Clippers. If you look at the statistics of the whole game the Lakers are also losing. Their turnovers are high at 19 while 14 only for the Clippers. They also lost at three-pointers and assists but they won the game by points in the paint. I think the in-season tournament championship just got on their head. It's time to win games again.

The Clippers on the other hand are already back to winning games again. They defeated the Phoenix Suns in a manner where you could really tell that they are a strong team. 138-111. A true show of their offensive power. If these guys can keep themselves healthy until the playoffs, there's a chance the Clippers will finally get a championship. The rotation of Coach Ty Lue is perfect, the pairing and combination make every player better and the ball is rotating better too. No one got a 30 pointer and they are more balanced.

How about the Utah Jazz? They won 2 consecutive games now. They have a healthy roster and they are trying to get back on the map. If they can manage to continue this into a streak then they might position themselves to the number 8 and steal it from either the Rockets or the Suns.

Utah has been performing very well in the last ten games. They have lost only twice in the last ten matches and will now play six matches at home. If they win all six matches, they will easily come to the seventh and eighth places.
Utah shows us the best example of team play. There is no basketball player on the Utah team that I consider to be a star, or rather I have never heard of before.
From now on, I will keep a close eye on Utah. An important team in betting games in my opinion.

Yes, that's true... I even dare to say that currently Lakers are an underrated team, but they could surprise everyone as i said before, I could even include the Warriors, but I believe that this NBA season the Lakers have a greater chance of making the playoffs than GSW.

They can really surprise everyone with their teamwork and they proved it against the Red Hot Clippers by beating them in a fair game. If only they could not lose some more games after this one, their chance to reach the NBA playoffs could rise, and Yes! they have a greater chance of making it than the current GSW today and now that CP3 is resting because of injury, they cannot get any more chances to win unless they will gonna come up with a working plan with their other bench player but as we know GSW dynasty on championship has already ended this season because of the way they are playing.

The Warriors dynasty ended years ago... I believe these are all phases, when Durant joined the Warriors, they became a super team, but slowly they dissolved, Durant left the team, Curry's and Thompson's performance was decreasing year after year and now GSW has this problem with Draymond Green...
Well, I believe that the Warriors need to reformulate themselves and adapt to this new reality to continue to be a competitive team and achieve a seed in the playoffs.
GSW's next game will be against the Pelicans, it will be a difficult game, but I have no doubt it will be an interesting game to watch.

It's really unpredictable as Klay is no longer consistent and without his production, most of the time they are losing the game, adjustment is needed
for this squad as most of the team are really competitive and capable in beating them.

No more dominance as even how hot Curry will be, without the good support from everyone it is still not enough in winning the game.

Not sure about the trade rumor for Wiggins but if ever that trade is true, they should hire a good 2-way player like him, someone who
can easily adopt and adjust with what role the team needs him to play.

Adjustment is really needed here and Kerr should not rely on his old cores since he's young players is doing better that's why he should give more decent minutes to those players who give more better performance on that game so that they can perform more better and get quality contribution. And if they feel that a player is having a bad day then lessen their minutes even if they are the star of the team so that they will not create a huge mess.

Kuminga is disappointed on their last game because of what happen in the game so to avoid getting this feedback to his players he need to adjust and do proper rotation on his players so there's no frustration will happen since this can lower down their morale.

They have to do something because if they don't, that's going to make them stagnant and will stay on their rankings forever. But I think Kerr will have to think of another roster on how they're going to be better by the next season. Just leave this season as is because they've been there at the bottom when Durant left them.

They still won a ring without Durant though, so not sure if it ended with him. But that was like 2 years ago and it was as different Warriors know. That time they really have a lot of good role players who's willing to do everything in the court.

But now with their issues like Draymond Green indefinite suspension and then Klay having his shooting slump, Curry not the same anymore and then their role players is not at deep as before, the Warriors might have ended their dynasty already this year and it's going to be very hard for them to make the playoffs.

Good thinking, I had forgotten that GSW won the 2021/2022 season without Kevin Durant. But I have no doubt that the best team in the history of the Warriors was the 2016/2017 - 2017/2018 season. From this season onwards, I believe that the Warriors' level has gradually decreased.
By the way, Draymond Green, he was reinstated to the NBA and will be active again soon... well, I just don't know if he'll remain with the Warriors or possibly be traded to another team.

If you look at the results of the games since the end of the play-in tournament, this is only the 4th win for the Lakers since that time. However, I think there is no doubt in anyone's mind that the Lakers are capable of competing with top teams, although they are still far from reaching their full potential on the court. By the way, even if the Lakers win the next game, it won't mean anything because the Raptors are still a weak opponent.

Yes, the Lakers are a very out-of-form team right now, but it would be a surprise if they beat the Clippers. Because the Clippers were a more fit team. The biggest factor in this is the way basketball players concentrate on the match. Since the Clippers are Los Angeles' team, the Lakers basketball players were more concentrated.
If they finish the Toronto match with a win, it means something is changing.
If they lose to Toronto, there is no change and the Los Angeles Lakers will play such unbalanced games this year.

A quick google search put me on a reliable website saying that:

Quote from: agustina2 on January 08, 2024, 11:58:11 PM

Although Memphis Grizzlies is currently at the bottom of the NBA standing, it's not that the absence of Ja Morant will have a big impact on them the whole season. Last season, if you guys remember, the Grizzlies were even better when Morant was out or should I say, their win-loss percentage with or without Morant on the floor is just balanced.

With Morant's long suspension and absence from several Grizzlies' games, their players are now used to playing without Morant. Though there is no doubt that Morant is the main guy in the Grizzlies, his absence can be covered by some of their good role players like Desmond Bane, Jaren Jackson, and Marcus Smart.

Last season was different.

At that time, even though they don't have Morant, they have Tyus Jones who played as their back-up PG at that time, and they really played well at that time. Now he's on a shitty team right now in Wizards, and the Grizzlies don't have any reliable PG to start with. Who are the PG's in their current roster. Morant, Rose, and Smart. Morant is now out for the season, Rose only plays limited minutes (I don't know why), and that remains Smart as their PG for the whole season. Smart isn't a real PG because his position is different when he's still with the Celtics. I guess the Grizzlies will use Rose more often now.

Last season is different from this season because of roster changes, and unfortunately, it's season over for them. Just look at how they played in their first 25 games. You will expect that they will have a record almost same if not better than that one.

Feel bad for what happened to Morant in his career. Aside from his problematic behavior and sometimes exercising his bragging rights, he's now facing a bad injury or maybe worse, as that shoulder injury might likely change his usual athletic playing style.

Heat was better even without Jimmy Buckets. Balanced first half but Heat took control in third quarter. Herro and Adebayo did the job well.
Jaime Jaquez Jr.'s development is going pretty good. He plays as he isn't drafted from 18th but top 8.

Honestly I kinda tired watching Rockets games every night. I memorized all of their plays. Probably national broadcaster pick Rockets games because of Şengün but lately they didn't spread games to all teams. Every night we have to watch either Rockets, Bucks or Celtics.

I love the Warriors but they arent at all st the level as they were before and i need to agree with you on that. Curry is only carrying the team and he cannot play alone. Thompson is just hot or cold and if he isnt on his game the Warriors lose most of the time. Green like you said is a serious problem and needs to leave the club as fast as possible. I think their biggest mistake was letting go of Poole i was thinking he was their future.

It became clear that the losses in the Lakers were psychological.
Los Angeles Lakers, who lost four of their last five games, beat a team like Los Angeles Clippers by 106-103.
The Clippers were definitely the clear favorite in the match, but the Lakers won and got a surprise victory.
The Lakers will play two more games at home on Wednesday and Friday and will face Toronto on Wednesday. Toronto will be the favorite in the match. Because Toronto's away statistics are considered good. If the Lakers pass the Toronto hurdle, we can comment that the team is starting to form again.

If you look at the results of the games since the end of the play-in tournament, this is only the 4th win for the Lakers since that time. However, I think there is no doubt in anyone's mind that the Lakers are capable of competing with top teams, although they are still far from reaching their full potential on the court. By the way, even if the Lakers win the next game, it won't mean anything because the Raptors are still a weak opponent.
