I think the Miami Heat - Cleveland Cavaliers game is the biggest one tonight. Heat are the current leader of their conference right now. And Cavs are at the 6th place by following them six wins behind. Heat might seem like the favourite team here but I won't lower my expectations from Cavs too. Because they also are having a solid season after a break like many years. They really want to do good things in the playoffs and their general performance has been great so far. Let's see what's waiting for us here.
We will just start waiting and see what Nets will do in the remaining games of the regular season. I mean that they started the season really strongly and they had a great long run. But at some point, things have started going really wrong for them. And KD's injury made them even more vulnerable for a long period of time. He is back now and Nets' new additions to them have given new hope for the team. But they might need some time to adapt to playing with each other nicely. After they have a good chemistry, they can go back to their old performance again.
Injuries and Harden hanging around is what went wrong. Dropping Harden was the best thing they could have done. Seth Curry fills the void that Joe Harris provided in terms of floor spacing. Now add a Ben signs who doesn't even need to shoot on this team and look out. I'm putting my money on the Nets here
I'd have to agree. The Nets are the clear winner in the trade. I can't believe they let Seth Curry go in that deal. I guess the 76ers were anxious to make a deal since Simmons was basically a liability to them, but Drummond and Seth Curry? That would have been a decent trade without Simmons with the way Harden has been playing this year. I do like the pairing of Embiid and Harden better than the pairing of Simmons and Embiid, but the loss of a backup center (who is a rebounding machine) and their best shooter (who trades a shooter with the last name Curry?) makes this a pretty bum deal for Philly in my opinion. I think last night's game showed that, even without Simmons. The 76ers might have a better record, but they're clearly not the better team. Can't wait to see Simmons on the floor with KD.

Again with Jokic's performance. Even though they just played last night, they still have the energy to battle with a team like the Warriors.
I don't expect them to win and they didn't, but that kind of performance is worthy for a big applause.
He almost hit another triple double despite resting for longer minutes in the 3rd which had been the crucial part of the game. It sounds exaggerated but it proves the Nuggets are nothing without him because they just let the lead be gone while he is sitting.

Not sure what's the plan of coach Malone letting Gordon and Jokic sits for almost the whole 3rd quarter,
Even the lead already been cut and Curry showcasing his talent outside the Nuggets just let that lead blown away, good for boogey
though but not a good result for this game, coming in the last quarter Jokic commits most if not all of those important mistakes
but he still have that magnificient stats almost another triple double for the running back to back MVP.
Just one shy of assist for another triple double game. For now, I cannot say that he would win the MVP because there are other players who were very consistent from the very start, Jokic just recently had great stats because Nuggets were struggling early.
As for - https://www.vegasinsider.com/nba/odds/mvp/.. Embiid is still leading the race.

The players that were added can also be called veterans and they have been playing in different teams already. As far as their stats are concerned, I think they are blending well with the team and therefore I can say that they have no hard time adjusting to their chemistry. What the Nets need now is to ensure that the superstars are healthy in the regular season most especially in the offseason so they can fight with full capacity in the playoffs. Durant and Irving are proving that could lead a team, so I have no doubt about the Nets' chances to be in the NBA Finals.

I mean we expected it already. The 3 things that I didn't expect to happen is:
1. The tribute of the Sixers to Simmons which is very opposite to what we are often seeing when we see all-star players being traded to another team. They showed to him his flaws when he is playing and his inability to shoot which I find embarrasing.

1) it was expected the were going to treat Simmons rough. He basically quit on the team and refused to play. We're they really supposed to pay tribute to someone who does that?
I have to say it was a good move for marketing. Fans will be more curious how Ben responds on the court.
I would have liked to watch the Philadelphia 76ers - Brooklyn Nets game if it wasn't too late for me. Because it must have been a really delightful game and a surprising thing happened at the end too. I didn't give much chance to Nets for winning this game. But they did even by a score like 129-100. I wonder what went wrong with 76ers players in this one. I watched the highlights today and really appreciated Nets' solid game plan. But they are still not very trustworthy until starting a decent form.
Yeah, i'm not sure either.
It wasn't even like that the Nets was doing well prior to this game. They were way below .500 in the last 20 games coming into this one.
I think that it's probably just all the rumours and drama having built up over the past few months releasing. KD with another very efficient performance, he's not going to let Ben Simmons down haha.
They were struggling for a while because Durant rested due to injury, and Irving wasn't consistently playing as well. Now, that Durant is back and Irving is with him, they make a better team already and of course, we cannot forget the addition of Curry and Drummond, they are also a big factor of the success of the Nets recently.

That one bad loss by the Sixers destroyed the great start of Harden. I understand that it's a 29 points win by the Nets, but man, no team is unbeatable in the NBA, even some of the good teams also have a bad game, and they lose by a huge margin, one good example is the Dallas Mavericks who lose to the New York Knicks in a score of 107-77.

Live betting is not for me, I can't really be bothered by staying awake that long (NBA games are after midnight for me) and watch the full game and take advantage of that. If I am not wrong, Stake offered live betting while also offering live watching the game on their platform as well, if I did stay awake for that long then I would have used that.
I do not know where you guys live, but it would require me to stay awake until like 5-6 am most of the time, even later for certain games and I don't think that it worths it. This is why I wager on them before the game starts, go to bed, and wake up to find out if my bet was good or not.

Yeah, I guess it's not for everyone, if you are in a timezone that you can't watch the game because it's gonna be late on your side then live betting is not for you.
But for those who are on the other side of the world, wherein it is morning to us, we can watch it live and then follow and see how the game progresses and make some live betting.

The game was so good, it makes me think that I'm watching the Finals.
An Eastern conference Finals probably because only one of them will go to the Finals. If that was like a Finals game, I would find it boring because it was heavily dominated by the Nets, a good game to watch is a close game, not like the outcome of that particular game.
The Nets routing the Sixers should be a good reason to never speak as if the result is already determined even before the game started just because they are "the best" or on a "good run". At least check the roster and see who will be playing. It's no surprise that KD and Irving could pull off a win since these two are scoring machines. They didn't put up big numbers but it was enough for a convincing win. Great job by Seth Curry too.
Instead of just one player scoring 50 points, a few players are scoring over 20 points, it's healthier that way. The biggest problem with the Nets was that there was more than one lead player on the team. But their game against the Sixers was pretty good, when Irving and KD can play together, we can watch great things. Seth was also very good in the last game
True, it's healthy that way, although its good to see players scoring 50++ and completely dominates the game like Durant or Irving.
Nevertheless, I like how Seth and Andre are going after the Sixers decided to trade them vs Harden. They have been tearing and helping the Nets to win and this is a big win against the hot and streaking Sixers. So I think they are back in the game with KD and Irving and just wait till Ben Simmons plays.
They have proved themselves in the Nets now, Drummond is so good and useful in defense or playing center while Seth is on the offense, getting assists and raining 3 points as long as he can. Their game against the Sixers is like a playoff game, throwing threes anywhere in the court.

You have a point but that biggest problem of them is also their biggest advantage to any team they will face. Instead of heavy guarding 1 or 2 players, the Nets rosters have many lead players and that makes them hard to guard because almost everyone can make sure shots. We can compare it to their recent game against the 76ers where the latter is having a hard time defending.
The game was so good, it makes me think that I'm watching the Finals.
The LA Lakers continued their bad course in the league with the Houston Rockets game. LeBron James outstanding performance also does not bring success to the LA team. The Nuggets team reflects their successful games in the last matches on the field and they caught a good series.
Yes, the Lakers this season took a very different route and looks like we can't see them in the playoffs this season. LBJ's talent and performance is still good but now that he is aging, he can't really bring the team to the Finals alone. They should take an early rest and figure out what would they do next season because investing and having WB is definitely not good for them.
Lebron James show to us what he got right now but I think it too that he can not carry his team alone and he needs a buddy or let say teammates 1 or 2 who can assist him or can carry a team too and them they will get the victory but for now I doubt if they can still play for the playoffs and have a chance to claim the Trophy.
I think lakers must have another star player to assist lebron in order to champ again.

If the Nets are complete, they are a championship team we know that but unfortunately they aren't and both Kyrie and KD only played 6 games together where they are 4-2.I think the Nets really has a high chance of getting the win against the Sixers and the boo's on Simmons? I mean we expected it already. The 3 things that I didn't expect to happen is:
1. The tribute of the Sixers to Simmons which is very opposite to what we are often seeing when we see all-star players being traded to another team. They showed to him his flaws when he is playing and his inability to shoot which I find embarrasing.
2. The boo's of the Sixers fans towards the players themselves. I mean they are playing at their home and yet they will receive boo's from their crowd? The Knicks fans didn't boo their players when they got blew up their 24 point lead against the Nets but them.
3. The outcome of the game. I expect that this game will be a close match since we might see a possible good match-up in the playoffs but what happened. Embiid and Harden shot 8/34 on the field. Probably not their night and I hope that if they will be matched together in the playoffs, it will not be like this again.
1) it was expected the were going to treat Simmons rough. He basically quit on the team and refused to play. We're they really supposed to pay tribute to someone who does that?
2) and as an avid knick fan they boo the team ALL the time. Knicks have sucked for a good part of 20 years. The team played like garbage and in cities like New York or Philly the fans will let you know. Cheapest seats were going for $200 the product they saw was terrible.
Lol you and your Knicks, I do feel bad for ya brother. I mean y’all have some talent but that’s obviously have nothing but regress over this past year. Not sure what Tommy T has been doing over there or if it’s really more so the fault of the players.
& yeah Simmons being booed was just absolute given. He’s not a likable guy at all.
