Philadelphia 76ers v Chicago Bulls is really like a playoff game. Each one of them is doing an amazing job in this season. And my expectation level from each of them is quite high truthfully. Especially 76ers are really promising for the playoffs and even the title. I also believe that Harden has made a huge contribution to the team already now. The Harden - Embiid duo is going to be really great in the playoffs too hopefully. And when it comes to this game, I believe in 76ers to destroy their competitor.

Right now the 76ers have all the advantages because they will try to win this game since they lost their last game without James Harden. now he is playing again and has 11 points in halftime. As the Bulls are struggling today, they continue to catch up not letting the lead reach up to double-digit at the end of the first half. Anything can happen in the last 24 minutes of the game I hope it would be a last-minute battle between these two current heavyweight teams.

Rough game for the Bulls, dropping their fifth straight game. However it was really a fair matchup. The Bulls were missing three starters, Vucevic, Ball, and Patrick Williams. Also still have Alex Caruso out. So they were down four of their best players and 3 starters, so not really a fair fight. The sixers are a damn good team though, but I can’t wait to see the Bulls play them when healthy.

Not only the Bulls, but the Warriors is on a 5 game losing skid as well, as they've lost to the Denver Nuggets tonight. Tough lost though, they played without Steph, Wiggins and Klay but they give the Nuggets a game, Jokic another triple double, and then Poole and Moody try to carry the Warriors without 3 of their starters.

After winning 6 straight games, the Bulls have lost 5 straight. It seems like the absence of most of their star players like Ball, Vucevic and Caruso is being felt. With their losing streak, they are now at the 4th spot and 4.5 games behind the top spot.

With the Sixers, they are 5-0 when Harden is playing with them and he is averaging 12.4 assists in his last games which is very insane. His gameplay really shifted from a prolific scorer when he is in Houston to a shooter and passer when he is in Brooklyn and he carried it now that he is in Sixers. I just hope that he will not get injured during the playoffs because it will be a huge loss if he will not play at that moment especially now that many are betting for them to win the championship.

Just to add, with the Spurs win against the Lakers, Coach Popovich tied with Don Nelson in the most number of regular season wins and he will surpass it this season so advance congratulations for him already.
The Kings have had their 16 losing seasons in a row and that is the longest in NBA history: LINK

I confess... this season is crazy! Tatum scored 54 points, Durant 37 points, Jokic 46 points, Ingran 38 points. It is in fact several players have evolved a lot of a few years now, including, some of them are taking responsibility for themselves.

How about Ja Morant's and Lebron James' 50+ points. Although normal to have that points, Ja Morant is a young player, and seems not usual for his age to have that contribution and Lebron James is almost close to retirement but still doing that kind of numbers.

The game really changed today. Almost everyone can shoot 3s.

There are only a few players where the majority of their points come from inside plays.

We have seen some big individual performances last night. Jayson Tatum with 54 points in a win against Nets with Durant. Khris Middleton with 44 points in a win against Suns, a very big win. And last but not least, Jokic, with 46 point and a triple double, 11 assists 12 rebounds. And a win. It was again a superb performance by Jokic. That guy is unbelievable. If he continue like this, he seems like will be one of the greatest players ever. These individual performances affected the game in a way that they almost surely win the game or just gonna play better till their team is ahead. Especially Jokic and Nuggest are doing everything they can to get the 6th position in western conference. And it will probably happen.

I bet that at the end of this regular season, several teams and players will do their best to get a spot in this season's playoffs, especially Nets and Lakers who both are in 9th place.

There are other games worth to watch other than Bulls vs Sixers. We got Jazz against Mavs and Warriors against Nuggets for example. I expect scores in both games to be high and they could cover the over 230 points total.

Sixers also looking for a rebkund after losing to the Heat and they will protect their home court.

Sixers are a healthy team, so they should have an advantage in this game.

However, the Bulls are on a losing streak, so for sure they'll play hard enough to stop the bleeding and if that will happen, we will certainly see a very entertaining game. For the Bulls, looks like Vucevic is not going to play while Ball and Caruso are still out.

The most interesting game of the night is 76ers - Bulls to me. These teams have the same amount of wins now. But Bulls' recent performance is really terrible. They lost their last four games which is worrying for them. They will want to put an end to this bad streak here but this is not the game for this I think. 76ers have been incredibly good recently and Harden's joining the team improved their performance even more than ever. 76ers are the absolute favourite to win this game and I think they will make it too.

We are going to experience a playoffs atmosphere with this game, however, I'm just a bit confused on the betting line, why is the Bulls +7 when the Bulls also have a good standing? Maybe because the Sixers are very impressive with Harden? I'll just find it out though, but I'm pretty sure this should be a great game and I expect a close one.

What do you expect? he is the reigning MVP and usually just like last year, he step up after the All Star break and produce numbers worthy of an MVP. They are in the brink of defeat, down double digits in the 4th quarter, make a comeback, force OT, down in the first couple of minutes and then clutch after clutch plays from him. I will not be surprise if he won the MVP again but it's going to be very tough, with Joel Embiid performance with the resurging Sixers and then we have Ja Morant.

It's going to be a tough competition for this season's MVP. I know that Jokic is also a good contender for repeating the award, but with

the way Embiid and Morant both are also very capable of winning this title. It's really exciting to see how those players perform and how

they impress the fans. The winner deserves it and no doubt if one of those three mentioned name will win the award

they all give their best!

It is not just about Rockets being bad on the roster, it is also bad that they do not have the system they require to get better as well. That is the difference between football and basketball, in football you see like Barcelona having a system and they actually play with that as long as possible, even if the roster changes. In basketball, we have coaches and coaches have systems and Silas haven't found his all that well just yet.

It means if you put someone like Phil Jackson or Pop on top of Rockets today, they would be a team that would be a lot better, not great (given how Spurs are not even playoff team right now) but at least a better system. That is why people are shocked when they win a game, specially against a team like Memphis.

They are in the 6th seed with 2 wins away from the 7th seed which is Timberwolves. They got near because KAT was playing great and now at their 4th winning streak. But I doubt Jokic will let them pass as that guy always plays at his best whenever he steps on the floor.
That's a MVP performance for a soon to be back to back MVP if all goes well and his health will be intact.

Oh speaking of MVP. Ja Morant superb games made him enter the top 5 Kia MVP Race. That's amazing for a young player like him.

You have to understand that he is still a rookie, and therefore he is bound to make mistakes and this first season is his learning experience. He should be better in the next season if the Rockets would still give him a chance to play more minutes. Green maybe not delivering our expectation, first the favorite in the dunk contest, and he lose, and it looks like he would also not gonna win the ROY.

Yes, I agree. Green has a lot of room for improving and he is just starting that. Gaining experience and soon the consistency will be there.
Rockets is actually a strong team but they are young, prone to mistakes and bad choices during game time. I wish Rockets management will build on their trio, KPJ, Sengun, and Green. Let them have their chemistry and not trade them for anyone.

That lineup is not enough to be a championship team, or a playoff team, just my personal opinion though, but I think they need a real all star to join them and lead the team. This team is used to be a good team, they had Harden, it was a playoff team but later Harden was traded, and WB as well.

So not much expectation for the team now, but let's see how the management will experiment to improve the team next season.

Don't make a quick judgment yet, who knows, they might surprise us and be in the playoffs next season, at least getting in the playoffs is already a big success of this team that does not have many high-paid players. If there's still room for their salary cap, maybe they can just add some players without letting go of the role players of the team and the starters.

Personally I also don't think that the Rockets will improve under the current lineup, they need to add or let go of some players if they want to improve. They have the whole season already and they are at the bottom now in the West with 16 wins and 48 loses, so it's hard to expect a sudden big improvement in the next season.

You also have to look at how young the Rockets are, they are too inexperienced and that's one reason that they are in the bottom. They need someone to lead the team, so it's going to be very difficult for the management as well to get the right personnel, and spending big money to acquire that superstar. They have done it before, getting Harden and Chris Paul and it almost work getting a championship if not for Curry and the Warriors.

They need to start scouting role players and a veteran star that will help them to guide those star rookies.

We can't foresee how the next season would be for this franchise, but if they are aiming for another playoff birth or a contender
season, they need to adjust and bring home good players.

There's no doubt that this current lineup is not enough to compete with super teams from the west side they will continue
to suffer and keep losing games.

"Desperation." Said Lebron James while being interviewed.
Yes, I think that's the right word for it, and what better team to win a game is against a struggling Warriors. Lebron put a show with 56 points 6/11 behind the arc. He almost did it all because they badly need a win after their long streak of losses.

It was really clear though, indeed desperation is the right word to describe him today. I was really shocked and amazed that LeBron really pushed the limit just to carry the team and win against the struggling Warriors, and actually they really need a win on this one and to more upcoming games if they want to get a seat on the playoffs. Other than that, I really admire Austin Reaves because aside from LeBron, he is also doing and giving his best every games and he is really hungry to win.

Yeah, that's how we describe the Lakers predicament now, they are indeed very desperate and I would say also pressure at this point that they have to win regardless of who the opposing team is. And it just so happen that the warriors are in a slumped so they become the victims of Lebron James monster game. I think Reaves is one of the most underrated players in Lakers because every night you can see this kid trying to improved at both ends of the court specially in defense.

Indeed! Well, in the first place it is their fault because they are being inconsistent almost every game and relied heavily on their superstars. They really felt the difficulty every game to win especially when AD was still injured earlier this season and WB was still trying to knock some sense (or so I thought). Yes, Reaves is underrated but if you look closely he is really efficient in defense and can also shoot 3's and long 2's.
Tomorrow they will face the Spurs, and if they can't even win this one then it is really too late for them to get a seat in the playoffs.

LeBron is putting on a show right now against the Warriors. He is playing center tonight and already has 51 points with 6 minutes left. Westbrook playing well tonight also. This is the Lakers play they need to be winning games. It looks like this game is going to come down to the wire and I wouldn’t put it past LeBron to try and go for 60. It’s turning into a three point contest, so the Lakers might have their work cut out for them… I’d get to a TV if you can to see the end of this one.

It was good seeing LBJ with the Lakers roster play like they did today, that was the kind of performance the fans have been wanting to see. The King made 56 points and 10 rebs, it was his three straight 3's was the turning point of the game and their first lead in the 2nd half. WB also did well as I didn't saw him playing selfishly and of course Carmelo for the rebounds and 3's he made. Hopefully they'll be consistent these days so that they will be secured in the playoffs and not in the play-in tournament.

Seeing Lebron be that awesome is something I could not believe. I mean this dude is 37 years old and he still managed to get that many points in a single game. I am pretty sure that there were other players that scored more during those years, but he is really playing like insane.

Remember, this is the age where Kobe literally retired, sure he had a 60 point game on his last game, but that wasn't really that much of a real game and he had like 50 shots that day, Lebron did it at the same age, while averaging nearly 30 points per game. He is averaging nearly 30 ppg at age 37, can you imagine how hard that must be? Probably the highest average at that age, haven't checked but I am 99% sure about it.

Still Lebron gives an impact to the NBA game because he is one of the legendary like they are trio of the legendaries with Kobe, and Jordan so i guess if Lebron makes a retirement it feels something lack in NBA heart, well its still good if he still can to play we know its passion and full of commitment we can't remove this into a humans hobby so he will continuously play and give a good performance to its team and audience. Looking forward for more games!.

No, it's okay if Lebron will retire because we already have Curry who is the greatest shooter in the planet. Besides, Lebron is not anymore dominating the NBA unlike when he was still younger, his stay has only a little stay on the team but he can continue to cement his legacy for individual achivements he could still have while still active as a player.
