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!.

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.
Aside from OKC, I think the Rockets is also tanking this season as well to get better draft picks in the upcoming draft.
Another thing too is that, there is nothing to expect from them because just by looking their roster and you will already know if they will be a championship contender or not. Like I said, they are tanking this season so that they can get better draft picks.

With regards to their current line up, I think they are developing Green and KPJ for years and maybe they might let Wood stay because he is an efficient big that can shoot outside as well. If they fail to develop these 2 players then they really need an all star to led the team but as of this moment, they are developing these 2 because these will be their all-star players Smiley. Lets just give them some time then we will see if the risk was worth it or not.

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.

They had a good start but could not finish the game with a win, it's already good to see them competing despite not having their 2 superstar in the game, what more if they have Paul and Booker, the outcome could be different.

The game was expected to see the Bucks dominate the Suns since they don't have their star players and the other player left cannot stop Giannis and Middleton's tandem. No matter how you look at it, it's gonna be a one-sided game and that would be the same if the Bucks are less of those two and the Suns are complete. they will also dominate the Bucks and bury them with a double-digit lead in the 4th quarter.

Cam Johnson was also out, I guess he was exhausted from the big performance against the Knicks and the game winning shot. He could've been a big help if he was present.

Nah, that game is for the Lakers fans to remind them who bought them another championship after Kobe.
Remember how the home crowd boo'd Lebron during the match up against the Clippers? They seem to have forgotten what LeBron brought to them after more than 10 years of struggling to even make it to the playoffs.
However, this doesn't change the fact that the Lakers are still in a bad position. LeBron can't do it every single night. WB needs to step up, and everybody in the Lakers roster need to step up their game.
Reduce turn overs, enhance defense, and be more efficient on the offensive end.  They still have like less than 20 games left, but If they could start winning, they can still chase the 7th spot to avoid a more dangerous position for them.
Winning the play-in won't be enough for sure.

Yes, that's something to be remind but seems that it's long been forgotten.

After that title, Lakers got high expectations from the fans, but due to injuries last year they were unable to defend the crown and lose
in the playoffs, this season another high expectations since in papers they are really strong but looking from the actual performances
they are not and fans again are disappointed. They need to continue winning if they are still chasing for another title, not just LeBron.
but the entire cast of Lakers.

I agree. The way you look at the Lakers roster from the start of the season. They looked like a 70-12 team, but it turns out the other way around lol.
Real fans got disappointed but do not boo their own player on their own home court. Real fans supports his team whether they losses or win.
Prime example of a real fan is Nav Bhatia. He has been a fan of the Raptors since 1995, I don't think he boos on his team or any player or the roster.
I guess those people who provoked LeBron are either a casual Laker fans or a bandwagon lol.

Sometimes Green is also inconsistent so it's hard to trust the Rockets to win, in fact, I think they would really struggle this season and I'm not wrong. however, they are also surprising sometimes and this win is a big statement that they are not a bad team and could still compete against the playoffs teams in the NBA.

Anyone seen the Rockets vs Memphis game?

The Rockets surprisingly defeated the hotly Memphis team tonight, 123-112. Houston looks solid at both ends, and their 3 best players, Wood, Green and Porter Jr, combine for 81 huge points for the team. They didn't allow Ja Morant to have that explosive game as he was held down to a measly 22 points.
Rockets vs Memphis is indeed a team that is quite full of surprises, and fun...the difference in points is quite a lot, for me it's a rare moment to watch their match, we know the details of the match going like that during that time, fortunately Rockets won, if luck was not on your side maybe the points that have happened will shift some of the teams behind them to advance to the round that rockets currently wear. Jaa Morant is a figure who scored a record last year complete here


It was luck but the Rockets did play hard in that game, so give credit to them. They were down in the 1st half but they came back strong in the 2nd half and beat the Memphis by 11 points, I can say that it was one of the biggest win of the Rockets. Congratulations to them especially to the rookie who played well to help his team.
That's something that Rockets need to keep developing, that performance from the rookies.

Give them more exposures and allow them to move around and build good chemistry, if you keep them all and surround
them with experienced players.

Even not a prime player, but someone who can guide them and give them more confidence playing in this league.

Congrats to gamblers who made a win from the Rockets.

I thought Suns is going to steal that game against the Bucks but they are undermanned so I guess it's okay to lose sometimes.

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.
Yes, Austin Reaves, that guy doesn't put much in his stat sheet but you will feel his presence on the court.
But that day against the Warriors he did put a defensive stat. 3 steals, 2 blocks. Those numbers are critical for a team like the Lakers that is being branded with soft defense this season. They should think about giving him more minutes, like that game where he posted 34 minutes.

Lakers game result was very very interesting to me that even though it was a high scored game (124-116) Lakers were able to keep up with the high score and they were good offensively, thanks to Lebron's inhuman performance with 56 points and 6 of 11 from the three point line. And he is 37 years old! He was born in 1984,man. That is crazy.

Warriors tried to keep up as much as they can but without a good Klay in the game, they are usually struggling hard. And also Russ Russ contributed with 20 points, not bad. Then the Lakers were just too much for them. Interesting win for the Lakers. Can't say I'm optimistic about their future though.

I am definitely not optimistic by any stretch of the imagination.

The Lakers are incredibly old and this is going to show as the season drags on. It took a once-in-a-lifetime performance from an ageing LeBron to just win by a close margin against a not very good defensive Warriors team.

The best case scenario for the Lakers is to hit the .500 mark by the end of the season, but their schedule is rough coming up.

LeBron was unstoppable in this match, but I think it's not normal when almost half of all Lakers' points were scored by one player. Anyway, it was a very important win for the Lakers because they broke a losing streak of four games. So let's hope this unbelievable performance by LeBron will motivate his teammates to play better in the next games.

If that performance will wake them up, the chance is still there for the Lakers.

But most of the time it's just a one game then they will start losing the chemistry again, no doubt that LeBron still has that
intensity, but he still needs help from everyone. We will see if they will be able to continue performing great like this.
Hopefully, they will start being motivated and build a system that will give them more wins.
