2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

[Goldstar88]

Is Dame one of the more overrated players of all time?
I know the bucks are gonna win tonight and all but I truly feared them more with Jrue, and the fact that he is now on our team is so ridiculously sweet

If you want to factor in defense, I’d say yes. I prefer two way players like Jrue. Also, Barrett who is the Knicks 3rd best player was out due to injury and the Bucks barely squeaked out the win tonight.

I have to say, it's frustrating seeing Saric playing amazingly well on a minimum deal for the Warriors. I know that the western teams are always going to be more attractive lifestyle-wise, but as a contending team you'd think we could have convinced somebody more established to come here. Brissett and Banton as our big minimum signings? Come on! They can't even shoot!

The disappointing way the season ended, the unproven coach in Mazzula, the weird situation with Brogdon being on the roster but seemingly waiting to be dealt, the fact that the Holiday trade came at such a late point, it all seemed to conspire against us in filling out the bench optimally.

Obviously Brad will still make a move before the deadline, but it could have been so much easier if we had had a better pitch in the offseason.

Yeah, Brad has done a good job adding players before the deadline since he’s been GM. Hopefully one of Brissett, Stevens, or Quetta can carve out a role, but if not, I expect Brad to make a move.

He would have been a great fit here. I have to wonder if we really went after him hard too. All we kept hearing about was the Celtics were chasing Svi.

OKC robbed against GSW.
Draymond clearly interfered with the lay up of Steph that went in but was not called for offensive interferance..wow.

these Play in games though are makin it more exciting. Clearly both teams wanted to win a an otherwise no bearing game had there not been a Play in tournament.

Saric played nicely tonight, but he was also 8-29 over his first four games.  He’ll have an occasional nice game, but he’ll throw up a lot of clunkers too.

That was a clear goaltend by Dray. I don’t know if they changed the rules but he certainly had contact there.

I’ve never heard of the rule they cited, but the ball was off the rim before Draymond touched it and I don’t think made further contact with the rim, so I guess that’s why they said the basket was good?  I’ve never heard that called, but not many basket interference calls are reviewed, so perhaps the opportunity to have seen it called before is extremely limited.

I didn’t quite understand it as well. But how many times have we seen goaltending calls simply by touching the board, net, or rim even if the ball had no real chance of going in. It was really a bizzare call.

SGA didn’t even play, either. Can’t stand the Warriors.

This looks more like the Mavs team I know.

Last year everyone expected a Celtics-Nuggets NBA Finals.
This year I think it's set in stone.

He learned by watching Tatum.

i get why they are doing the tournament but as an older guy that court design is brutal. I watched a bunch of the games last night and this morning and the courts are just
