Zion Williamson is already out with his second injury of the season. This time it is his hamstring and he will be evaluated in a couple weeks. A shame he couldn’t figure out a way to stay on the court. He had the potential to be the face of the NBA and the guy to take the torch from LeBron.
Yeah, but he became an injury-prone player and that's not looking good for his future. Worse, he will be sidelined a lot of times and that might create a problem cutting his weight because of that injury again. I always loved watching that player make some highlights but because he had been missing a lot of games it's not that exciting anymore. The curse of the number 1 pick.

What a great night for Wemby scoring 24 points and 16 rebounds but falling short in winning their home game against the Utah Jazz. The Jazz showed their team strength with Markkanen at 20 points, Sexton at 23 points, Clarkson at 16, and Collins with 15. Let's see if they can continue this win with Markkanen back and using more minutes.

A very surprising start especially how they dominated the Warriors, seems that they really blends well just hoping that it won't be like how the Jazz performs before when Mitchell leading them, they always got a good regular seasons but never made any appearance for the finals, 10-0 is a good start and if they will play with the same intensity they might break that good winning streak though in terms of making their way to the finals then winning a title, that's too far to conclude.
They’re trying to keep the winning streak alive now against a low-ranking team like Brooklyn, but it’s a tight game. Brooklyn isn’t giving up, even after being down by double digits in the first quarter. Now, they’re actually leading in the third quarter. If the Cavaliers lose, it might just be due to fatigue… but even if they lose, their winning streak is bound to bounce back. Their strong start already proves their chemistry is solid.

And with that, I speculate that his time with the Pelicans could be hanging by the thread as he hasn't had the season that we all wanted him to see play in the NBA. He had multiple injuries already and if you are a Pels fans, gonna be disappointing as we have high hopes that he could be the one bringing championship as they build around this kid.

So it's either him and BI might be gone next season for a rebuilding.

We can only hope that his hamstring is not that season ending injury, although from what I understand, hamstring is a recurring injury, just ask James Harden about it or even Giannis.

Bronny likely to win NBA mvo this year yall think ?   I read earlier that they just announced that he would be playing in the G league when they are at home, and will alternate between the G league and the NBA. It must be nice to be King James son huh lol. This has never happened before and will likely never happen again.

So many are all butt hurt about it. Of course he doesn’t deserve to play in the NBA. He doesn’t deserve to play in the G league either ..but his Dad has done enough for the game that he deserves at least one year of getting to play w his son a few times. My guess, this is LeBrons final season.

Cleveland starting off hot but it's not like they have cruised on all 10 of their victories. They barely beat the Bucks in b2b games, Knicks game was close, everyone else they have handled pretty easily though. Magic, Lakers, and the Warriors twice. Let's see if they can keep up this momentum when they have to play Boston or the young high powered Indiana offense.
I didn’t expect the game against the Warriors to turn out like this... The Warriors beat Boston, but then got embarrassed by the Cavaliers, losing by 19 points... When Curry struggles, the Warriors really have a hard time. The Cavs did a great job defensively, although the game still ended up being high-scoring.

Curry with just 12 points and Hield limited to 3...it was like a complete shutdown on Hield. The 'Splash Brother v2' or 'Splash Buddy' didn’t work this time. Maybe it’s because they were tired as they only had one day of rest before this game.

Warriors fans is so hype with their past performance and no people really expect that they will get buried by Cavs like that. They are been totally dominated with no chance to recover back.

No excuses, but they really play lethargic in this game. It could be that they are really tired in their road games. But we should really gave compliments to Cavs as they really dominated the Warriors at both ends of the floor.

The Splash Buddies they called didn't work out as they perform so bad this game. Its scary how the Cavs perform this season and they are really well coordinated as a team. Their new coach bring some good impact for their team and he make everything works so great for Cavs.

Seems like we gonna see Cavs goes far this season and for sure they became one of the best team been monitored by people now.

It's because of the defense that they put specially on Steph Curry. Yeah, everyone in the team has chemistry, they have a new coach and probably the mentality of the players are very different. They have set a lot of records, including 10 consecutive win with at least 110 points or more.

And then the road Warriors 4-0, against a team that won 5-0 at home. And it's obvious that the home team won. Next for Warriors is another great team in OKC so let's see if the Warriors can bounce back.

Milwaukee Bucks won strong against the Utah Jazz. Giannis' return after a 1 game rest surely gave the Bucks an upper hand to win the match.
They're not impressive at this start of the season. Even if with strong ending against the Jazz, they still need to cover the other losses that they have made.

Looks an expensive team is having hard time in balancing their standings.

Jazz is not a good team though, so I must say that the Bucks could have been lucky in this game. Although I will give it to them, specially Lillard on how he tried to carry his team in his shoulders specially when then are down in the second quarter and I thought that they are going to lose this one against a team that also struggles like them. But Giannis and Lillard doesn't want this game to slip away.
I agree, they've been dwelling in losses so that's nice that they were able to pull that one.

Speaking of Bronny, tickets were sold out on his debut game.

It's good that he is in the G-league, no offense but we all know that the kid is not yet NBA material and really hard to see him becoming a great talent like his father in the beginning. He could just be happy just being a NBA player because of the influence of his father. Although we want him to evolved as well, but he will not get closer to the achievement of Lebron.
Yeah, he's not yet at that peak to be considered one of the stars in the NBA. But I think that Bronny is fine and doesn't complain at all, he knows where can he be and his place.

I just wish him the best.

Cavaliers become second NBA team to start 10-0 in 20 years with dominant 136–117 win over Warriors

The Cavaliers are really making headlines with their win streak… looks like they’re on a roll! I wonder if they can actually break the Warriors’ record of 24-0. If I remember right, the Warriors went on to win the championship that season, so if Cleveland pulls this off, they might have a real shot at the title, too. They’re not even in the top 5 in the NBA futures betting, so the odds must be high, which means lucky for anyone who bet on them early in NBA futures.

A very surprising start especially how they dominated the Warriors, seems that they really blends well just hoping that it won't be like how the Jazz performs before when Mitchell leading them, they always got a good regular seasons but never made any appearance for the finals, 10-0 is a good start and if they will play with the same intensity they might break that good winning streak though in terms of making their way to the finals then winning a title, that's too far to conclude.

The Phoenix Suns have been in great form lately, especially under the leadership of Kevin Durant. With Durant averaging a good scoring average and the contribution of Devin Booker, I think they have an important momentum on offense. The Dallas Mavericks are a threat on offense with the isolation play of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. They have also increased their intra team ball sharing lately. Especially the effective performance of new signing Klay Thompson gives Dallas an advantage. However, the absence of center Dereck Lively could pave the way for Phoenix to dominate under the basket. In terms of wins, the Phoenix Suns have the energy to keep the series going on the road, but I think the Dallas Mavericks can win at home with effective play.

The Phoenix Suns we are watching now are like the Phoenix Suns we watched many years ago when Steve Nash was playing. All players are on the field very efficiently. Their current squad is quite good and they are leading the conference, if they continue to play like this we can see a great team in the playoffs. I was a little surprised that they started the season so well, but we missed seeing Kevin Durant at the top Smiley

The Emirates NBA Cup is near. Yes, it's the In-Season Tournament.
https://www.nba.com/news/nba-cup-101
Quote
The Emirates NBA Cup 2024, the NBA’s second annual in-season competition, will tip off on Tuesday, Nov. 12 in team markets and culminate with the Semifinals (Saturday, Dec. 14) and Championship (Tuesday, Dec. 17) taking place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.  The complete schedule will be released in August.

The Emirates NBA Cup will consist of two stages: Group Play and the Knockout Rounds.

This idea never made sense to me at all, and still doesn't. I get that NBA is getting boring and the viewership is dropping, which makes sense and I understand it, while because of the inflation the teams are making more money than they used to, the viewership numbers are not what it used to be which caused NBA to try to figure out a way to make it entertaining again. This was the idea they had, plus with that play-in tournament before the playoffs was the part that made sense.

I agree that play-in was good but the in-season tournament makes no sense at all. It is not even that much of money for most of these players, I believe they are not going to care about it much neither. I always say, add in a 1v1 tournament to all-star weekend and you are going to get a ton of new followers without a doubt.

The Warriors are out of sync in the first quarter against the Cavs, and on the contrary, Cavs are hot in the 3 point area and they established a big lead from that. What's funny though is that there are a lot of Cavs fans when I visited a forum saying that they will established a new record at 74-8, Lol.

74-8? What a funny statement to make indeed. A 10-0 start doesn't mean they can maintain it until the end of the regular season. TBH, I don't think that any team can beat that 73-9 record unless the team is filled with superstars like the Warriors when they did that, but that 74-8 record really made my day. Cheesy

As for the Cavaliers, it's very surprising to see them starting like this on their first 10 games. I mean last year; many are expecting that the management will trade either Garland or Mitchell, and even Allen as well. Many are saying that Garland and Mitchell don't fit at all. Now with their new coach in Kenny Atkinson, he proved to the fans that they're wrong and we are seeing what we are seeing right now. I also like to observe how the Cavaliers will play all throughout the regular season because TBH, I didn't expect them to start like this since nobody's talking about them when we're talking the East.

Overall, a good start for the Cavaliers. Watch out Boston? Cheesy

Lol at that Cavs fans who think that they can easily break that record, we are still not even close to half a season, we just started and they have a good schedule on taking on light teams, either struggling or have new players and so it's hard to team. But I will still maintain that Warriors is going to be a dark horse team. They just had a bad start and wasn't able to recover.

The lead was too big entering the 3rd quarter, if it's just like 10 points or even 15, the Warriors might able to overcome that as they are known to be a good 3rd quarter team. But their woes keeps piling up, Curry and Hield doesn't have their usual shooting night and so they just give it up to the Cavs. But a win is still a win, so let's give the Cavs their props and see how they are going to fair against great West teams like the Suns or OKC.

What a game between the Suns and the Mavs, it was a back and forth and in was very exciting in the last 5 minutes of the games as Kyrie and Durant are exchanging basketball. But Nurkic goes big here with a follow up and then he hit 1 out 2 free throws which is enough for them to win by 1 point.

Luka though has a chance with 0.8 and I thought there will be Luka Magic, but it goes short. And with that win, the Suns leading the West at 8-1. Suns will be facing the Sacramento Kings next, so that will be another great game for sure.

Seems like the Mavs having trouble at the moment when facing decent teams. I am actually surprised to see them struggle that much, many praised them for their acquisitions this summer. I mean they got some ok players, and then they got Klay, which I still don’t understand. But u til now they are not very convincing, even though they arguably have the best back court in the whole league.
Something is missing there and I hope they can figure it out soon!

But there is no denying that they really look sharp as early and they are showing a lot of firepower and good defense too.

So let's see how they will do till the first half of this season, it might be a good indication, but crazy things can happen. Just like what the Mavs did last season. They are in the contention for a play-in, until they got string of consecutive victories and we didn't expect them to be in the finals.

Or even with the experience of Phoenix, it will be a great matchup as both teams are really deep, when they rest their starting five, the second stringers can still bring the best and push their opponent. I don't like to say this, but for now they look overrated, we know that Mitchell can score, but he has history of melting down when there are so much pressure. And I will compare how deep this team is like in the Jazz when he was supposedly to lead that team. They are complete and yet with it comes to playoff, they always have problems and was not able to get to the finals even though their teams are so strong. And most likely the weak Eastern conference might have something to do with it, Bucks are struggling, Sixers without Embiid. And you will be surprised that the Nets are in the 3rd place in the conference, behind Cavs and the Boston Celtics.
