Bronny played with his dad, that sequence happened and that was all they needed to be fair. I am not even sure if Bronny will ever come back, the kid is athletic enough to find himself contract somewhere, I do not know where that will be but he can play somewhere decent. G-League isn't really ideal for him, because everyone there is trying to break into NBA and they are making a very small amount of money at the moment and that means we are going to see Bronny not be passed the ball much.

Everyone will hate him for making the money he is making, an NBA contract, all because his dad is Lebron and Bronny doesn't even need the money neither, so all his teammates and all his opponents will just straight up hate him.

So the better place would be euroleague for him, he could develop there for a few seasons and come back stronger, or not even come back at all, euroleague is an awesome place and he could do great there. With a ten season career there, he could just come back and be a coach or just retire since that kid is already wealthy. I believe NBA isn't on his future, doesn't look like it would be possible unless he makes leaps of improvement, if that happens then I would be shocked but happy for him.

Nah, the Euroleague wouldn't be the best place for him as he would clearly have a harder time there than in the G League.
Anyway, let's see how Bronny will develop his skills in the G League and whether he will be able to return to the NBA someday or not. In the meantime, I honestly pity him because he is under a lot of psychological pressure from all sides. I mean, he is just a mediocre player with poor playing skills, but fans and media are paying too much attention to him and expecting something special from him just because his father is LeBron.

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.

^^ That's too bad, as everyone is looking for a great game between the Cavs and the Golden State Warriors, so without Green it's not going to be fair and probably that's why the Cavs now are 1.59 ML as per Stake because of this news.

Warriors are different because Draymond is their anchor as far as their defense goes, although they have like Looney as their center, it's different if there is Green on the floor and lately he has been scoring as well, hitting outside 3's just like in their last couple of games.

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.

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.

As for the games between the Warriors and the Cavs, yes, it's going to be a big test for the Warriors, as I have said they could be the dark horse this season. But it is said that Draymond might not play,

Quote

Unfortunately for the Warriors, they may have to battle without one of their most important players. Draymond Green has officially been listed as questionable against the Cavaliers due to a right knee contusion. Brandin Podziemski is also listed as questionable along with Green.

Well, it was quite an expected outcome because, as it has been said many times, his current skills are clearly not enough to play and progress in the NBA.
By the way, the Lakers have already played 8 games this regular season, and Bronny participated in only 4 of those 8 games. Just look at his stats for those

LeBron finally made the right decision for his son. He can't keep taking criticism while trying to protect his legacy, it’s not good. I hope Bronny improves, but right now, he’s not looking like a special player, so my expectations are low. LeBron will continue being great, though. The Lakers have been struggling, but they’re still ranked well, so hopefully they bounce back soon. At least now we won’t see as much criticism of Bronny being in the G League since most of us are focused on the NBA.

Yeah , that's a good decision bringing his son to the g-league, it's a tough one for him while trying to focus with his game he won't be able to disregard those critizm about his son, with that transfer he can be more focus leading his team, they've got a good start, they just need to refocused and find that rotation that will blend so well to regain the momentum, too early and there are many games to play during this regular season.

They've got the players and the system they just need to work more on how they will execute and make it working for the team to win games.

Steph is different from the rest of these guys. He can play until he's the same age as Lebron.

And that's because he's not mainly into defense and don't have to go toe-to-toe or head-to-head with the other players rumbling in getting the ball.

He knows his role and I think the next generation will be more with offense than defense and Steph has inspired them all for which his role could last longer than the typical superstars that we've got.

Yup, he's not force to provide that kind of setup he's more on providing offense the very reason why Steve Kerr continue using that system, the main defense is their offense they will keep Curry to take that long range shots and with that set up he'll be able to play longer and I agree that if he wanted to continue playing he can do that until he reached LeBron's age or more than that, unless a major injury happen and stop him to push for it.

And with his new buddy, Buddy, they're killing it.

That's a good strategy that doesn't get old in the NBA. And it has proven with so many championships that the GSW has got.

We might see him with more years in the NBA but it's up to him whether he gives up and wants to retire early or later.

That is definitely a good look for Warriors, compared to last season they are doing amazing. Steph Curry isn't really providing much defense that's true but he wasn't doing that when he was 25 years old neither, not like this is a new thing for him, go back and look at his old tapes and you will see that he wasn't that much of a defensive force back in the day neither.

What he does is being more efficient on offense than other team, and whatever you get scored on because of him, he brings that back twice on offense and there is very rarely any cases where he has been stopped as well. So, we know that he is going to keep being a good player at least few more seasons unless he gets a bad injury and his ankles do not look good.

Today is a big test for the Warriors as they take on the undefeated Cleveland Cavaliers. Buddy Hield has been living up to expectations so far and the Warriors have performed above expectations. Not as much as Cleveland though. The Cavs still being undefeated isn't something I would have guessed and we're getting one of those old fashioned Warriors/Cavs legendary matchups, even if it isn't the same without LeBron involved. Will the Cavs stay undefeated or will the Warriors give them another L?

Bronny has officially been sent to the G league. We’ll see if he can work his way back onto an NBA team. I never saw the great father son moment I was hoping for, but they made history so you have to be happy for LeBron. As far as having a dominant moment with a son though, I think he’s going to have to stay in the league until Bryce gets there.

They already made history, and we have been criticizing Lebron himself for pushing Bronny to play in the NBA bypassing college so that they can just made history. Now his son is going nowhere and as what to expected, he will have to go the G-league. Not a hater, but I doubt that he can make his way into the NBA again as what we have seen, he is still to young and doesn't have the build that his father has. There are reports that Bryce is better than Bronny, but let's see how Lebron will developed him, I mean will he rush Bryce to play in the NBA so that another history can be made between the James? Or just let him play and improved and get a college experience so that he can sharpen his skills even more.

Utah Jazz is still not playing great even with Markkanen and Clarkson back. They are on restricted minutes so I guess we will see their full strength in the upcoming games of the Jazz. Their next game will be against the San Antonio Spurs. If healthy, I guess the Jazz could somehow win.

Warriors are great, Suns and OKC are great too, they are really doing fine. One shocker is Rockets though, I did not expected to see them be this good this season. They are really turning that ship around, they had some bad years, got some good picks, built a team that is doing fine right now and they built that team from young squad as well.

Alperen, Jabari, Green, and many other players they have all raised there and been playing together for a while, and on top of that they added FFV and Brooks as well, so they became much better in the end. I believe they have a shot at getting much better as well, we are seeing them getting better and growing and they are signing contracts with these young players for long term too so they can get better for a while more.

FFV will really have to step up his game, as he got a huge contract after leaving Toronto. And it seems that they have matured as well, with everyone helping like Brooks and then Jalen Green whose trying to be the leader but he is too young.

Suns vs Mavs next game, it will be interesting to see those two teams, KD started very hot same with Luka, Suns though with a 6 game winning streak, but as far as betting odds goes, the Mavs is the favorite in this game. So very hard to predict if we are going to bet as they have superstars, one advantage of the Mavs though is that this game is going to be at their home court.

There's nothing will happen if Bronny would stay on Lakers and he perform like that, since he might gone on the rotation if he continue to perform bad and team cannot use him in crucial games. So its good that they decide to make Bronny go to G.league since maybe he can get more quality minutes there and improve his performance there. Feel bad for young man having those expectation that he became a better player same with his father. But guess this assumption is far to happen since we see him didn't give much impact to help Lakers.

Hopefully he could able to bounce back and improve since if nothing happen then maybe we could see a short career for Bronny in NBA.

For sure, OKC will bounce back after this game, they could have put this game into OT but the Nuggets play good defense on SGA and was block. So they are still very tough team to beat this season.

Westbrook didn’t start well with the Nuggets, struggling with his shooting, but this game was huge, he really stepped up when it mattered. I hope this isn’t just a one-time thing because there are still a lot of games ahead, and no timeline yet for when the two players will return.

I'm specifically talking about this game, he had a 3 point and made 2 as he scored the first 5 points of the Nuggets here. That's why it could be a good sign for them to win against the OKC and they did. Obviously, he had a lot of help from Braun as well and Jokic. But he had a lot of points scored and he his hitting his outside shot.

Quote from: Natalim on November 07, 2024, 06:25:16 AM

Now that they’ve beaten OKC, I have no doubts about their future games, even with the same lineup.

I think if Murray and Gordon will be back, WB will be coming off the bench. That has been the starting five of the Nuggets for years so I doubt that it will change overnight. And as what we have said, this is just one game because WB was given the chance to play in absence of their 2 key players.

Heck yeah he will have a hard time in the G League. I mean I have said it before, in the G league there are countless players that have wiped the floor with Bronny in the NCAA last season, and they will likely do it again. Unless he improves significantly I see no chance for him in any good league in North America, honestly not even in Europe. Guys with 4 year NCAA experience go to Europe and make a living, he has 1 year on his belt, is kind of undersized and has the burden of his name, which always comes with expectations and pressure. Not a good situation for such a young man.

Now that they’ve beaten OKC, I have no doubts about their future games, even with the same lineup.

Classic WB what a performance! it's so nice how Joker really maximize him seems that he was been used as replacement for Jamal hahahah, but that's really a team effort as they win against the top spot OKC, and adding to that, they win without both Jamal and Aaron with Jokic towering and mostly creating the their plays, those good pass for WB that's really boosting him to push more inside him.

Hopefully more good game for him, with that treatment might be possible to bring him in together with the core and add threats offensively.

People got surprise the way how Westbrook perform, If he sustained to provide that numbers then provably that we can see him and his team to became a better contender this year. Maybe he just need to be motivated each game so that Beastbrook would release and dominate in court. This is just one of exciting game played by Westbrook and let see if we can see more performance like this since Nuggets became exciting when seeing them playing good like this.

I guess he just need to be inserted on the role which he is comfortable to play and coaching staff should realize that so he can provide solid performance to help his team.

They needed the type of a player who can work well with Joker and the way WB display his willingness to take charge also fueled joking I like the combination as they benefited from each other, just like what you mentioned a trust from the coach giving him decent time playing plus the trust from his teammates giving him confidence to take his shots, he still have it and continue to force more to keep improving his stats while helping the team to win games.
