2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

[celticsclay]

Rui Hachimura with 36 points tonight, Austin Reeves with 22 points and newly-acquired Lakers Spencer Dinwiddie with 10 points. Smoked out the Utah Jazz on the road.

Don't look now but they're definitely molding into shape similar to last year again. Could be a play-in/low-seeded team that will give the top seeds a run and potential upset.

lol you want this so bad. The Jazz have sold off half their team to tank and have had three straight blowout losses. Outside of the pelicans they have been beating teams like the pistons, hornets and Knicks missing og and randle. If they actually play well against the warriors, suns and clippers after the break I will give them some credit.. should probably calm down about them till then…

[Who]

Another loss for Utah. Looks like they may be bowing out of the race for a play-in spot after trading away two important pieces of their rotation in Fontecchio and Olynyk.

That would leave them as a near certainty for a top 10 pick.

[Who]

Avdija may win the award for the most unlikely 40+pts performance of the season. 43pts 15reb tonight.

Mo Bagley got the start at center with D Gafford gone to Dallas. Richaun Holmes came off the bench.

Yeah Utah is definitely tanking now… I just don’t know what they will do with all their picks. We can probably put the silliness of the we gave up a top ten warriors pick to bed at least as rockets and jazz are aggressively dropping out of playin.

And they beat my fully-healthy Celtics at the TD Garden  And hung on tight with the Nuggets. They're 7-3 in their last 10

I think we all agree the Celtics game was a lot more about us than them, unless you are arguing they are such a juggernaut they are great even without AD or Lebron

Starting to think they could be better without Lebron. He didn't play last night either.

[Birdman]

Seems to me the lakers plays better without James

This is crazy:

they have a similar record, but James is still +5.5 in on off differential per 100.

Just what the Bucks need. Another guy who shoots 3s and can't defend.

[dannyboy35]

 Never wanted Gallo. If he hasn’t had a shot in awhile he’s throwing it up there instead of making the right play.

I don't know how good LAL can be or if LeBron and Davis will hold up.  But what I see is that LeBron and Davis, when healthy, are still two of the best players in the league.  I think it is foolish to think they would be better without LeBron.  They may or may not be a true contender with LeBron, but they are going nowhere without him.  You don't need any advanced stats to know this.  Just go old school and apply common sense.

Whose big man minutes will he take if he goes to the Clips?  They're already loaded.
