2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

It’s about time the bucks hit the road

Cavs somehow going to lose this game

Big shot by Levert to basically seal the game.

I just am not impressed with the bucks. They have no third option and Middleton looks cooked

[jpotter33]

The Bucks better hope that they can get some of these games at home, as the schedule the rest of the way for them is not kind, especially over the next little bit.

Tomorrow vs NOLA
1/29 @ Nuggets
1/31 @ Portland
2/3 @ Mavs
2/4 @ Utah
2/6 @ Phoenix
2/8 vs Minny

I think we'll see them end up falling to somewhere between the third seed and fifth seed by the end of the year, especially with NY's resurgence and Cleveland playing better and getting their guys back soon.

Third seed is fine, but I’d rather they not fall to four or five.  And ultimately that would be pretty surprising if they did.  It’s still hard ti make up four games on a good team in half a season, and the Bucks are likely to hold the tiebreaker over Cleveland and already have it over NY.

Presuming that Philly is at the second seed, third seed would certainly be most ideal for us.

That Luka was special.

I hope you're right.   Honestly I used to like the bucks, but not anymore.   Giannis has turned into a big baby, and I am not a big Dame fan either.  No way he should be starting in the all star game.  Shooting 43%FG/37%3p while playing zero defense.  He isn't that good that he should be a all star starter, fans are dumb.  Unless Doc can coach up the def, Bucks are in for a fall as the schedule gets a LOT harder.

Lillard has good stats tho

[SparzWizard]

Players are scoring 70+ like it's nothing and casual now. Luka the latest one to hit 70 tonight

Yup, and Booker with 62 in a loss.

With the modern game, you have to wonder if Wilt's 100 is threatened. I never thought I would say this....

Best thing for Boston is get the 1 seed for the entire playoffs. Having home court vs Denver would be big.

I want to see the Pacers, Heat, Sixers and Bucks cannibalize each other.

Celtics v Magic
Bucks/Sixers v Heat
Bucks/Sixers v Pacers
Cavs v Knicks

That would mean Boston gets the Knicks/Cavs winner in round 2
Philly v Bucks in round 2

Heat sent home.

Would it be fair to state that the modern NBA is about 133% scoring of the way the NBA used to be? Like a 20 point scorer today would have been a 15ppg scorer back in the day (looking at you Cam Thomas and Jordan Clarkson)? A 30ppg scorer is more like a 23ppg scorer? An when a guy scorers 70, it's really more like 52 points?

Don’t only blame the fans. Dame finished 3rd in the fan vote behind Hali and Trae. Media and players were so split on the next 3 (Brunson, Mitchell, Maxey) that Dame ended up winning the weighted average.
