An even game for GSW and LAC in the first half. Anyone watching? It's quite an okay performance for both PG and Steph but I expect both of them to explode in the second half. I'm leaning towards a GSW win since they have more "firepower" unless Bledsoe or Jackson does something.

You're right, it's been quite an even game so far, although Clippers were in lead for a longer period of the half.

I don't think the Warriors would lose this game.

You are right, GSW has a good run at the start of the 3rd quarter, with 11-2 in favor for the GSW, let's see if the Clippers will be able to respond from that run as when the Lakers are in a big lead, they will likely continue it until the 4th quarter and just dominate their opponent like that.

Curry already had 20 points now.

Warriors and Clippers having a great matchup right now. Halftime and only 2 points separates them. Steph has been making some impressive highlights. I don’t believe it’s nationally televised so many people might have to wait for the highlights later but if you get CSBA then I’d recommend tuning in for a bit. It’s a good one.

Lebron is not what he used to be,

Lebron has only played 10 games this season, and he has scored an average of 25 points per game. Of course, he is not in his prime anymore, but it's still great stats for a 36-year-old player. By the way, the Lakers will play against the Pistons tonight, and I hope they will be able to win them.
p.s.
What do you think about Stewart? Will this guy try to take revenge on Lebron for that moment in the previous match?

I don't think he will do that stupid thing, he was already suspended for 2 games because of the incident, so he probably learn his lesson and be cool in this game if they want to win against the Lakers. I also want to see Lebron apologizing to Stewart as he was the one who started that fight.

Refs should be watching them carefully as Stewart does not believe that Lebron's elbow to his face was not intentional, so if he takes his revenge, we might see a brawl, hopefully not. here's the statement of Stewart.

“This is going to be my last time addressing it, I watched the film, me personally, like I said, I didn’t feel like it was an accident.”

Right, at least now we see where the problem is, the turnovers of Westbrook per game are killing the Lakers and not AD getting weaker or soft or Lebron making bad calls and bad shots.

If somewhat Westbrook can minimise his passing errors which are intercept now because players are anticipating that he is going to pass because of assists stats for his triple double. And then he is also missing a lot of shots, good looks but horrendous shooting form specially in 3 points wherein some teams are allowing him to take it.

^^ I agree, the most consistent player right now is AD in Lakers. While the rest is very inconsistent and then the turnovers are killing the Lakers chances of winning a ballgame. If they can manage to reduce their turnovers per game, for sure they will have a good chance to win those close game they have.
Westbrook is number 2 in most turnovers ranking this season, so I think he is the main problem if we are talking about turnovers as the main reason of their struggle. https://www.teamrankings.com/nba/player-stat/turnovers

Lebron James will always be the Lakers main guy and he will always take the last shot.
He has the freedom to take the last shot but sometimes he pass the ball if he feel pressured, IMO, he is not a good finisher.

Lebron is not what he used to be, westbrook is still getting to know the team, everything seems a little off in that team right now but the biggest problem is definitely AD. If they do not really get it together, I can see them eliminated at first round very easily.

I'm sorry mate but I don't agree with you that AD is the biggest problem of the LA Lakers. Stats don't like mate, maybe we can check again and compare it to the previous season without Westbrook yet.

Another Lakers loss! Even the trio (LJ, AD and Westbrook) scoring above 20 points was not enough to beat the Kings.
Interestingly, Sacramento's reserve players played well, and everyone scored

ps: this is another game that Melo performed well, scored 16 points and played over 40 minutes.
Lately I see Melo is very consistent in this season's games!

In the Suns vs. Nets game, Phoenix won.
I was really surprised because I would imagine the Nets could beat the Suns quite easily.
Phoenix has 16 straight wins, let's see if they can beat the Warriors on Wednesday, despite the game being played in Arizona

Well... what do you think about this, guys?
It is mainly because AD is not playing that well. Right now he has averages as lowest as possible, in history of NBA (depending on shots taken) and that is just not acceptable from the second best player in the team. He is still getting shots up in numbers that would indicate he is a superstar, but he is not making them all that much, which means that results with horrible stats and inefficient shooting from Lakers.

They could've win that one in the first overtime If LeBron didn't take over too much. I mean he had the ball the whole time. He's shooting zero percent three point attempts, that could've been converted into a score If his teammates got involved with it.

What if he drained a shot on the gameplay? Lebron has no space for many people now. If he involved his teammate, others will say he should design gameplay for him and have the guts to shoot the ball. If he did not involve his teammates, others will say he should design a play for his teammates. He knows what he doing. Just unfortunate that the game went to triple overtime and they lose.

Well, If you were watching the game you'll probably understand what I meant. There's a time to take over and there's a time to give a good play for the teammates to get involved.
LeBron took too many of those three point attempts when he can actually bulldoze his way to the basket for a score or kick out pass.
Yeah I bet he knows what he's doing,
but it's not just unfortunate lossing to a team who has not made the playoffs for the last 15 years.
Their team quality is already in question, and most probably Frank Vogel might be in a hot seat lol.

They can still make the playoffs If they remain above .500
Let's see If Ariza and Nunn could stir the Lakers situation or not.
Yeah you're right there's still hope, besides the Lakers aren't fully healthy yet.

Glad I didn’t put a whole bunch of coin down on this Chicago Bulls vs Miami Heat game. As a Bulls fan it’s been a bit difficult watching this game as most everyone is having a pretty poor shooting night. Luckily the Heats star player (and of course former Bull) Jimmy Butler isn’t having a great game himself.

It was really a close between between the Bulls and the Heat, 5 minutes left and a tie score. But then Vincent and Lowry make there three's but the Bulls still try to come back but Jimmy Butler hits crucial shots. He isn't having a great game, but he was very instrumental on the win because of his assists. So good win for the Heat at the road against a tough Bulls.

Looking for the Suns vs GSW on Dec 1, this is gonna be huge and it will be on Phoenix homecourt so they will have the advantage here.

Yeah that game ended up close which I guess I could be happy about but man playing at home I would expect them to play a but better. One of the Bulls biggest glaring issues is not being a good 3 point shooting team. If I’m not mistaken they are at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to 3’s made.  We need a sharp shooter !

Yeah the Suns Warriors game is going to be lit !

Personally, I am for GSW and my bets are with them throughout this season. I do hope that they are a playoff caliber team given the fact that they lack Klay and Wiseman on the offensive and defensive side but they still manage to come out on top.
With the current lineup and how they are playing, you can expect that they will be in the playoffs and they won't do an early exit. Although Thompson might come back soon we should not expect so high since he is coming from a long layoff and he might need more games to bring back his confidence again.

I love klay for being a 2-way player. If he's not converting, he will help with the defense.

The way GSW play now, it shows that everyone is playing according to their respective roles, it's not just Curry but the whole
squad are participating in winning the game, with the returned of Klay these dynamic duo will again tower the offense.

They are fully equipped lineup, everyone deserve to have some time playing and showcase their capabilities.

Competing for the title is not far to happen if GSW continues dominating the game.

The game between the Nets vs Phoenix ended fairly tightly with the latter taking its 16th consecutive win! I am so excited for Tuesday since the Phoenix Suns will be facing the best team on the west, which is the Golden State Warriors. Currently, both teams have the same standings, with the exception of the Suns having 3 losses (17 wins both). We will now see a glimpse of the future- two teams battling for the playoff spot where they will be showcasing their team development and talent.

That's because that game went to triple overtime and that was yesterday. Today Lakers had their rest and will be up against the Pistons tomorrow and then Kings again on December 1 and this time it will be in Sacramento Golden 1 Center.

The biggest scoop today is the Suns defeating the Nets and continuing their streak at 16 and there's the Heat with an intense game versus the Bulls.
I think the difference of the Suns is they can prevent making turnovers thanks to Chris Paul handling the ball. 20 for the Nets and only 12 for the Suns.

Quite disappointing for the Nets in today's game, Harden recording back-to-back turnovers, to those who actually tuned in to the game, he even got Nets fans booing at him for being sloppy with the ball, I really feel bad for KD, he can't carry the team on his own.

Kyrie is probably laughing because he chooses not to play and see how the Nets would do without him. Harden also is not as good as he was before, he needs to level up his game if he wants to help Durant, Suns is a hell of a team, there's no way they can stop the win streak if they'll play like that.
