Houston Rockets caught my attention yesterday. They had a solid win in an away game against Portland Trailblazers. The young players of Rockets seemed really promising for the upcoming seasons. Alperen Sengun had a really good performance offensively and also had couple of good highlights. Jalen Green also had good performance and scored very good. Both of them were born in 2002. Very promising for Rockets' future. They will probably have a good draft lottery also. I look forward to watch their upcoming seasons.

In only an hour, Suns are going to host 76ers and I believe that it is going to be a very delightful game also. Suns are already among the teams that have guaranteed qualifying for the 1/8 finals. And 76ers are very close to do this too. But in this game, their job is going to be really difficult. Suns would still not give up on the game just because they have qualified for that round. As they have the advantage of playing in home court too, I expect a very close game. However I'm still going to try my luck with 76ers in this.
Brooklyn Nets still have some chance to grab a secure seat on the playoffs without the need of playing more games in the play-in, they still have some few more games left and they needed it to win.
The sure seat on the playoffs is from 1st to 6th seed. They are behind 3 win games on the 6th and 2 games on the 7th. They might have a chance but it's hard to think that teams on the 6th r 7th won't be able to win some of their remaining games. Because of that, it's now safe to conclude and assume that Brooklyn Nets will play at the play-in tournament.
Not a problem at all as Irving is now there. It's just that, Brooklyn Nets need an extra step to be in the playoffs due to the absences of their superstars this season and not playing by 100% of their lineup. I'm sure they can get a slot in the playoffs.
I can really understand why Knicks and Pistons are far away from play-offs. They are very very bad. I had hopes for them as they have full of young players but even if they get something good from the draft I don't see any championship team sign in short term. I don't think rebuilding is done properly. There are some decent players who have some potential but without a team leader and at least two all-star level players they don't have any chance against superteams.
It would be much better for Kyrie Irving to stay at Nets. Because Kyrie Irving would start playing in home games at some point. And he is a very important part of this team now. He got some unbelievable performances in this season and I expect him to contribute to the team a lot in the playoffs too. I believe that Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are making a great duo now. I wouldn't like to see one of them leaving the team because it would lessen their strength a lot.
Well, he should really stay for the Nets for the next few seasons and just as @harizen have said, he already gave the Nets some few unforgettable troubles because of his beliefs and some tantrums that led the Nets to its situation now but the team have nothing to say to him but patience towards him of how he behaved, so it's quite fair if he will stay for some seasons.
Irving starting to play in most places do not really change too much if you ask me. They already lost Harden, and yes Irving plus Durant would be a good duo that can fight for a title in the future if they could get a decent third, not a superstar but just a decent player, but I honestly do not think that you could salvage this season. They are barely around the playoff levels right now and in order to recover the current situation, it would require a lot more than what we have right now.
I believe that we should not be expecting them to do something decent for this year. Maybe next year, after some good summer changes, we could see something getting better for them?

Irving also decided not to drift away from the Nets after his contract since he will not leave his man Kevin Durant to shine alone in the Team.
He really should as the Nets really have the patience to understand his point of view from the beginning. It's not just with the vaccine issue but there are many times Kyrie Irving hits with tantrums and the Nets just allow him to find his inner self lol.
Kyrie should know the drill and gives his best for the Nets to always win. He should be thankful that he was treated nicely even he's the source of the problem.
Now that everything now settled, at least (I hope), expecting Nets to be more competitive in the play-in tournament.

Now that Kyrie Irving can play both home games and road games, he should pour everything he got to help the team because when KD was injured he was also a problem to the team and surely those problems made the team fell in the deep spots. I think that's probably why Harden forced himself to be traded in the 76ers, just a thought.

Yes, Kyrie needs to realize that, after all those issues that concern him, Nets still hold and understand.
Hopefully, the bind between him and KD will continue. They are now forming a solid combination, a give and take duo that
will anchor the whole Brooklyn Nets.
With the players who surround them, they are now more competitive, maybe more on blending the right players to play
alongside and give enough rest for each important key to keep on winning the game.

<=>although I'm not sure what is the initial handicap for this match.
The line was -17 for the Nuggets based on https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nuggets-vs-thunder-odds-line-2022-nba-picks-march-26-predictions-from-proven-computer-model/.. Therefore OKC covered the handicap, both the pre-game and the live betting.
I'm not surprise with the line as we all know that OKC is already out of the playoff picture, so their games are already a no bearing game, but they came up a bit competitive in this game and the high spread is just a gift for the OKC backers.
It's a no bearing game but they keep it close though, they have nothing to lose, but Jokic put another monster number just to put them in the winning column.
So I guess OKC will have to go back to the drawing board again for next season, and hopefully Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be healthy for next season. They are a young team with a lot of improvement and maybe they can make to the playoff next year.
That's what the OKC need, they have to improve next season and try to have a healthy squad. Nuggets would always try their best to win so they can have the twice-to-beat advantage, after that win, they are now in the number 6 spot but still very close to the number 5 and 4 spot.
The OKC stands now 14-32 record and on the 14th spot, they have to figure out to strengthen their team this summer so that they will have a chance next season.
Currently, Nuggets is on the 6th spot as expected after they defeat the OKC today, they will face the Hornets in their next game, still critical for them as the Hornets are unpredictable.

Nuggets may be one of the greatest teams but it's all because of Jokic having a great day and it's not every day.
I will take the OKC spreads without a doubt. Covering it will be easy as long as they give them a hard time in both offensive and defensive ends.
Nets will be playing against the Hornets. I believe the Nets will try to sweep every game to avoid having a difficult time in the play in so Nets it is, to win the game.
Brooklyn Nets' next home game will be tomorrow and we should expect Kyrie Irving playing on their homecourt.
It's good news for Brooklyn Nets now that playoffs are coming. But having Irving playing is not enough as their teammates should also adjust.
It's expected to see them swift the next games and they might have a chance to snatch the number six spot if they still continue winning like we see last night against the Heat. Their next game is against the Hornets and that too would be an easy game for them. In that case, they will gonna just need to keep winning to secure their playoff spot.
Irving also decided not to drift away from the Nets after his contract since he will not leave his man Kevin Durant to shine alone in the Team.
I guess Kyrie needs Durant or the other way around to accomplished their goal when they joined together. Harden is just added to make sure their chances are going to win will be there but it wasn't meant to be.
Kyrie has the experience with Lebron already and so its Durant. And it seems that they are still the favorite to win the Eastern conference title as per odds.

Yes, their next two games will be a much easier game for them as they will play against the Hornets and especially the Pistons, respectively. Particularly now that Irving is eligible to play every game and not just road games so their chances to get a playoff seat is much higher than before and they are just 2-3 games away from the 7th and 6th spot.

The joker had himself a night tonight. Jokic scored 35 points on 13-15 shooting from the field. Insane… He also added 12 rebounds and 8 assists. As much as I’d prefer Shaq’s game to Jokic’s, you can’t deny that having a center who can pass the ball and play with finesse is a great piece to have on the team. I can’t think of another center to compare his game to, and tonight he reminded everyone why he’s a former MVP as he led the Nuggets to a 6 point win over the Thunder (who surprisingly still covered the spread).
Yeah, almost another triple double for the Joker, and he really seems to be calm in his game, maybe he knows he can take OKC because they are just down to 8 players, although I'm not sure what is the initial handicap for this match. Because I wanted to bet on them by -6.5 live betting, but the good thing is that the odds keeps changing so I just give up. But in any case, I would have lost my bet. But still a good game by the Joker, but I doubt that he can do back to back MVP, Joel Embiid for me is the MVP for this regular season.
