HUGE overtime win for the Chicago Bulls last night.  They are in a very dangerous territory with the playoffs coming up so soon and being in 5th place in the Eastern Conference.  Demar DeRozan went off for a huge 50 points last night to lead the Bulls to a must win.  Zach Lavine continues to struggle a bit which is of course extremely worrisome as they get so close to the playoffs.  Had they lost this game, I think they'd have been in dangerous territory getting close to a play in game that might be versus the Brooklyn Nets which would be a very scary proposition.  
I never thought that they are going to win against the Clippers . I have check the score from time to time and it seems that Clippers have been in control. I regret not watching the game because when I look at the score the last time it was an OT win by the Bulls. So for now, it was a good win for them, moving up in a clogged Eastern conference. And DeRozan is really getting all the experience from his previous stint with the Raptors and the Spurs as he didn't choke in this game.
Clippers were up by 10 points entering the 4th quarter, but Bulls work hard to come back in the game. DeRozan could have won the game if he has not missed the last free throw, but since he is really clutch, he take care of the business in OT and beat the visiting team.

THIS GUY DESERVED TO BE IN THE MVP CONVERSATION IMO.



Voted on the poll, (Pelicans - Spurs)

The 4th quarter run of the Bulls was a huge help.
DeRozan played his best to win the game, while Lavine scored 21 points but the FG percentage was very poor (5-17).

Bulls now are still in the number 5 position, as long as they keep that ranking, they'll be safe from the play-in.
Looking at the competition in the East, it is really very close, so it's hard to guess what would happen when the regular season will end.

Giannis did everything to get that win, it was an incredible comeback. It was like a play-off game, I hope to see more matches like these next days. Right after this game finished I switched to Clippers - Bulls and we saw another overtime. DeRozan played big and dropped 50. He could've finished the game early but missed one free throw in normal time. Still they played better in overtime and got the win. We watched two great final moments of these matches and Eastern Conference teams showed how competitive play-offs will be.
No more excuse for the Nets on this loss because Irving was already playing and Bucks still won the game. It's like a playoff atmosphere and I have a feeling that these two teams will likely face in the NBA Finals. At least, we can still see that Nets are not really a dominant team and they can still be beaten, for sure once the playoffs comes, things would be more exciting to watch.

Almost lost my voice in the last minutes of the game. Durant didn't see a big window for a higher chance to score. Goran Dragic. He was free near the basket with some spare time. He could release it very quickly after the pass. Bucks knew their play, he should've used that to become a decoy.
Dragic was actually expecting it if ever KD will pass.



That's the role most of the superstars that fans expect and loves to see and that's almost automatic down the stretch. It's always expected that the recipient to finish the game would always be the superstar.
I bet If that was LeBron, he could've seen him wide open for the three and pass it to him for sure. But then again, the narrative would be different when it comes to LeBron passing the ball during the dying seconds of the game.
Well, we knew KD is always gonna be the finisher and most likely not to pass when the game is on the line.
That's what KD is built for, he would always take the last shot, unlike Lebron who is afraid of taking the last shot. I didn't see this game but judging by the scorecards, I'm sure it was an exciting game and therefore I would not miss the highlights.

Taking the last shot even if it's a low percentage shot? I think that is wrong.

In the picture above, we can clearly see that there's an open guy who is also capable of shooting the ball, why didn't he pass the ball?
I think even Durant which is one of the greatest player in the NBA now could also make a mistake, and I'm sure they are already reviewing their mistake now.

The Lakers just have to be ready next season. It's fine to lose. They did their best after all.
Correct. I would not force it in this kind of situation. They might just become a trend, in a bad way. People now are not that easy to forget especially embarrassing moments of others. What more with a team filled with stars? They will sure be dissected in social media.
This Bucks vs Nets game is turning out to be a nailbiter. Giannis is having an impressive game and just managed to get his team a small lead. Durant is getting swarmed every time he touches the ball. You can see how Ben Simmons would be useful for bringing the ball up the floor. Watching this game it seems like the Nets are totally dependent on Durant collapsing the defense and then finding the open man. This feels like a playoff matchup and you can see that Durant and Giannis are a level above everyone else. I wish we got to see Ben Simmons in this game.

That was a very nasty double flagrant from Middleton. Luckily Brown fell straight and didn't get harmed. It may be a serious injury if he fell wrong.
Giannis is alone now despite playing a very good game with 37 points already. I guess it's over for Bucks. KD took the charge after Kyrie and scored some important points in last quarter. This Nets is scary for any other team in play-in. I don't think any teams want to match them.

I don't think that Khris Middleton has any intentions to harm Brown, the problem is that Brown slowed down a bit enabling Khris to at least catch up with him going upstairs. Nevertheless, it was a bad foul and the referee made a good call for flagrant foul 2 and kick Middleton out of the game. But did you notice that this serve as motivation for the Bucks to come back behind Giannis great performance again to win in OT?

Giannis is indees a beast by defeating back to back both the current favorite team 76ers and Nets. He score both 40+ points  in the games that result to a come back win in the last quarter. I remember Giannis is always playing like this whenever the playoffs is around the corner. Maybe is already waeming up on the remaining games so that he will be heat up once they face again in the playoffs. Giannis is proven monster before with a lot of physical games with impressive stats. I believe Bucks can still got this ECF slot.

What a monstrous game again from Giannis, a great escape against the healthy KD and Kyrie. It's indeed a back to back

exciting game from the Bucks and they escape both the hardship winning against very well-known teams that also favorite to win the

west side, though Nets still struggling, to position their place to the next round. But if they'll be given that chance, whoever will meet

them, will have a very tough competition.

Yeah, he is just showing who should be the MVP right now, against two best teams, specially against Joel who is the favorite to win the MVP race and then against the duo of Durant and Irving. Just a beauty to watch how Giannis turns out to be one of the best players of this generation. They are tied with the Heat on the ECF standing, but I think Miami will get the top seed if both of them ended with the same record.

I think it isn't necessary to foul Brown on that play since he already is clear for take-off. I just don't know why Middleton tried to swipe the ball even though he is already at the back and Brown is about to dunk it or shoot.

Either way, the Bucks-Nets match-up was almost the same as they played each other in the 7 game series last season. We might see both of them going with each other when playoffs come but who knows.

First the Celtics and then the Sixers. The Detroit gave an upset to these 2 teams this season especially the Sixers where they scored only 15 points in the 4th quarter. Harden didn't play well but good thing is Embiid is there still with 37 points. A complete upset :X.

What a battle that was (Bucks vs. Nets) with 13 lead changes and 7 ties. I was rooting for the Nets but can't do anything when Giannis could send the game to OT with a clutch three.

With that loss, it became harder for the Nets to catch 6th place Raptors. They will most likely settle for the play-in tournament and sweep the Cavs Grin Maybe it's too early but I cannot wait when Nets and Bucks meet in round 1.

That was a scary moment. Same with Durant getting his ankle kicked at the end there. The Bucks held on and won in overtime without Middleton. Giannis was just too much. That three to put them into overtime was something that he’s added to his game recently. I think Giannis might have shown himself to be the MVP with that performance. They just gave him the ball and got out of the way for that last play. Then he showed he could not only hit 3s, but he can bury his free throws as well. Good game for the Bucks. We’ll see this matchup again in the playoffs I’m sure. Hopefully with Ben Simmons in the game.

The Lakers need to trade Anthony Davis, not Russell Westbrook. Change the coaching staff, especially the head coach. I'd rather trade an injury-prone compared for a player that trying their best to win even how hard it is amid lots of negative criticism.
If I will pick between Davis and Westbrook into which one will be traded with them, I think I will go with Davis as well.
Being an all-star caliber is pretty much useless if you are injury-prone. We've seen many players who are all-star players but their career just got wrecked because of injuries. In Davis' situation, he is very injury-prone that I see him as a liability to the Lakers this season.

Changing the coaching staff will also help since the current roster and the coaching style of Vogel isn't match. Vogel is known for his defensive strategies and most of the players right now in the roster are more on the offensive one. The question though is if they will change him, who will be the new head coach and right after this season I'm pretty sure many will wait into what will happen to the Lakers in the off-season. Who will be traded and will Lebron leave the Lakers? Cheesy.
