By the way, there is also news that the Lakers decided to sign a 10-day contract with Isaiah Thomas. Honestly, I'm happy for him because he finally has the opportunity to return to the NBA. Let's hope coach Vogel will allow him to prove himself on the court.
I think he still deserves a full contract in any team in the NBA but this should be fine for him. His performance at the world cup definitely created some attention. If he could do a double-double on the few games he'll play, his agent will have an easier task of putting him back on the top league.

I have no doubt to Isaiah Thomas skills right now after he stepped down to NBA spotlight. He shows an impressive performance on all the minor league and Olympics. The problem is the team he will gonna enter again. Lakers right now is full All star team that struggling on there own respective role. I want him to go on underdog team so that he can show his full potential without relying on star player like LeBron and others.
After showcasing his skills with that 10-day deal with the Lakers,
For sure interest from other teams will come up, I believe that he still has the capabilities, like how DRose managed
to return Isaiah also has that potential.
Just be in the team who can give him enough minutes to play. Let the Lakers start them all and Isaiah will do the rest for his career.
Kevin Durant and Blake Griffin are enough to lift the Brooklyn Nets up and win the game against the Philadelphia 76ers. KD 2 assist shy to record a triple-double and Griffin was the one who put the dagger and bring the game to a close. Nets rookies are also doing pretty good to help out while their stars are healing.
The Suns also had a big win against the Wizards. JaVale McGee!!! Again!
16 minutes, 17 points. 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals. 
He found his home in Phoenix and he doesn't waste every minutes given to him.

16 minutes, 17 points. 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals. He found his home in Phoenix and he doesn't waste every minutes given to him. I didn't watch the Suns game, but I've read that yes, Javale has a big game and help the Suns built the commanding lead early with his good hustle as well.
For the Nets game, yeah, Griffin can still pull the trigger, hitting that big three to close the show and then guarded Joel on the other end and make his miss the shot with this body and tough defense.
Looks like we will not see Klay in their Christmas games because base on a report that I saw on Facebook (NBA Buzz), the team said that he will return to the court on December 28 and that is the earliest possible against the Nuggets. Well, there is no reason for the team to force him to play because they are at the top of the standings right now.
Another report that I also saw from Facebook (NBA Buzz) is this:
We already knew that Coach Thibs removed Kemba from the rotation because they are playing far worse when he is in the court and that is true base on the statistics. Well, it turns out that he isn't the only problem of the Knicks. Just by seeing that picture, am I the only one thinking that Coach Thib might be the problem for the Knicks that is why they are below 500 right now?

That's a hard no. Thibs isn't the reason they are below. I am a die hard knicks fan and watch every minute (if not live I record it). They have had early big man issues with injuries and knicks have been susceptible in the paint. Second part of it is that thibs is actually giving the young guys some run. Why you ask? Kembas +/- is -6.8 when he is on the Court. That's terrible, early on guards have slaughtered him and if you can't play d, thibs ain't playing you. I can respect that. All in all knicks lack someone who can punch in points in bunches if Randal is off. One of these kids ( Iq, obi, qg, or duece) has to come up big and be that next star...
BTW duece with the most minutes he's gotten this year tonight= 9 assists, 15 pts and 4 steals...iq 7-10 from deep. That's what the Knicks need. Then it takes the pressure off thibs.
Yeah as you know Wheelz I think quite a bit of Coach Thibs, being a Bulls fan I've seen this guy do a heck of a lot without any superstars (maybe minus DRose back in those times) so I personally don't think that he is the issue with the teams latest struggles. I am kinda surprised that he took Kemba out of the rotation but otherwise not watching the Knicks a whole lot (other than when they are losing to my Bulls
) ~

Isaiah Thomas is a good fit for a team really needs to have a point guard who can score and pass. I think he's not gonna be a good piece for the Lakers. I mean the Lakers are so stacked. They have a lot of guards who could basically do what Isiah Thomas can do.
Well, I might be too quick to judge, but ok let's see what he can do to save the Lakers from having a really bad season.
I'm also happy seeing him stepping inside the NBA again. If he'll provide significant impact to the Lakers he'll most probably going to get a contract.
I agree, I think IT has still some good basketball left in him and nice to hear that he was given a chance.
The Lakers are still looking for that missing piece and maybe IT could be the one. They only have Westbrook and Rondo to play guard but it seems the management is willing to entertain another guard that might chance their game before the all star break. So let's see how it goes.

That's the problem when they want to pin it down to one player only or with one coach. I assume this ain't Tom Thibodeau's decision for taking out Kemba in their rotation. It's from the men above. The truth was set free and they will now realize it ain't Kemba but someone on that team, coaching staff or maybe, it is the management problem from not putting any efforts what are the locker room cases.
If I am Kemba Walker, I would agree with a good offer for a trade as fast as I could. Something is wrong in that team and if he is aiming for a championship, it might not be there.
Kevin Durant and Blake Griffin are enough to lift the Brooklyn Nets up and win the game against the Philadelphia 76ers. KD 2 assist shy to record a triple-double and Griffin was the one who put the dagger and bring the game to a close. Nets rookies are also doing pretty good to help out while their stars are healing.
What a performance from KD
The man really proving something, This kind of lift the Nets needs from him as the main man. It will only show that even without Kyrie, KD and Harden is more enough to help this team.
They almost have it last season, seems that they are trying to push and bring that chance back and a possible to reach the finals.

If Joel Embiid will play, chances they can get a win against Brooklyn Nets. In the latter's last game, they struggle to win against the Toronto Raptors. Kevin Durant did double work to push on a win. A tough challenge for the Brooklyn Nets is Sixers will play healthy in that game.
But I doubt we can expect a healthy Sixers as Joel Embiid still plays last night even with a minor injury and late 4Q on that game, he took a concerning fall but was able to get up with no problem, I supposed. He was listed as questionable on tonight's game.

Game isn't over but the Nets are up 17 in the second. Obviously long way to go but betting against Durant as an underdog in his own house is usually never a good bet. Watched some of it and sixers look lazy and Nets are lighting the score up. Sometimes shaking up a roster isn't a bad thing. Benches come out with energy.
The game became a really close one in the 4th with several lead changes but Brooklyn Nets were able to pull clear with just some minutes left on the clock, big clutch time performance from Kevin Durant and Blake Griffin. Especially Durant playing with four rookies on floor for several minutes and they were still able to deliver, although some calls that didn't go the way of the 76ers in 4th could have made a huge difference imo, and Embiid and 76er's coach both kept expressing their frustrations.

Not sure about the chemistry though, they are still in the 6 place in the West but winning 3 straight already. But the big test for the Lakers is to face the top 3 teams and see if the chemistry is there, otherwise they are good only to win games against a low team, just saying. And they almost lost to a team without their best player, so I wouldn't say this is a good gauge about their chemistry.
Yeah, the Lakers still need to improve their team chemistry. However, it's worth noting that they began to play much better after LeBron's full recovery from injury. By the way, there is also news that the Lakers decided to sign a 10-day contract with Isaiah Thomas. Honestly, I'm happy for him because he finally has the opportunity to return to the NBA. Let's hope coach Vogel will allow him to prove himself on the court.I was happy to hear he got signed and will get another chance in the nba. He deserved it after balling out in the G league. Lance Stephenson has been putting up some numbers in an attempt at a comeback also. With the Lakers having some issues getting it together I wouldn’t be surprised to see something crazy happen with their roster soon.

Austin Reaves already had a hot hand and managed to score the winning point. The biggest mistake here was that Dallas couldn't manage to foul even though they could have. I think that it was no different than a nonsense that they double-teamed Lebron. And it cost them really big.

There is a great game tonight which is between Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers in Barclays Center. But Nets' condition with missing players doesn't seem very good. There are seven players who are ill due to covid-19 as it seems now. Harden is also among them but he might have a chance to play. But still, I don't expect this game to be played tonight. The Toronto Raptors - Chicago Bulls game has already been postponed and this game also seems likely.
I didn't hear this game would be postponed. I still have the Nets at -1.5 to win the game. So long as durantala is on the floor and the Nets are a small favorite I'm taking them at home. Hopefully the game goes off, all of these postponed games are going to cause an end of year nightmare for back to back and even 3 games in a row some with travel.
