The Warriors are playing right now without Klay but they are 15-2. What if he comes back?

It doesn't mean they will have a better winning rate. If Klay's comeback, Steve Kerr needs to modify the rotation of the players. That will affect the productivity rate of those players from the bench that also show some improvements while the Warriors do have a good record of 15-2.

On the other hand, if that changes will be made, Klay just needs to fill the hole on those bench players which not be a problem as he is explosive and consistent. But I'm not expecting that he will go back right away at his 100% performance as he will work on catching up on his early games.
Well, that might be correct but it seems that these bench players are expecting that to happen right? They know that Klay will comeback thus, their productivity rate will decline and they know it so they're ready for it.

Nobody is expecting for him to be 100% on his comeback and nothing is Smiley. After all, it happens to all players who incur injuries in the past. Injuries like Torn ACL will take time and even though you are ready to comeback, there is still a chance that it will happen again (hope it will not happen to Klay). With regards to rotation, I believe that Coach Kerr is ready for it. I know that he already created a new rotation when Klay comes back.

Well, as I've commented before, I'm surprised by the Warriors, and I would never have guessed they were performing like that.
Let's see how GSW will behave with Thompson's return to the team!

Yes, Howard had a relevant performance, but a positive point I'm noticing about Melo is his consistency, he's always been able to help the Lakers.
Melo vs Pistons (Melo scored 18 points)
Lakers vs Celtics (Melo scored 13 points)
Lakers vs Bucks (Melo scored 10 points)

I sincerely hope he continues with this performance, because he is proving to be a good player on the bench who is helping the Lakers a lot

I think these dirty style plays from LeBron are going to become more and more common as his aging lowers his play level to be below some of the young guys in the league. I don’t he’s going to have an easy time adjusting to him not being the most dominant player on the court. When I start seeing stuff like that, it makes me think he should start considering retirement before he cheapens his legacy.

People are just overreacting to that single situation happen on that game. Lebron's dirty plays? Before that incident, when was the last time Lebron make dirty plays? He is not a dirty player. The case that happened on that game was isolated and people just have to move on. Smiley

A dirty play is an intentional action. Different to what happened in that incident.

I'm sure coach Kerr already knows what to do,

they are practicing with Klay and those players who are stepping up right understand the value of Klay,

even he is not playing yet, but they know how it works once he steps out from the bench and starts playing with them, the core of GSW still intact and they are one of the best when playing together.

15-2 and with how they are enjoying the game, the chance of making another history is very possible.

I agree that Lebron didn't meant what was done and there is no intention behind it.
But, he pulled his arm way too strong when there should be no contact that should happen. It's like Stewart just needs someone to hold unto when Drummond box him out. It's his fault in the first place that's why Stewart acted that far.
I am reading some NBA player comments and some of them are hilarious.  Grin One of them is from Gilbert Arenas.


I can't find his Twitter account though. This is just circling around everywhere.
Seen this one as well but nah, it wasn't on twitter it's from his Instagram account and twitter wouldn't allow that block of texts from one single post. The post was really that hilarious and some NBA players right now was like getting some more popcorn. He has some caption on it "Gone in 60 seconds".

Here's Gilbert Arenas Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/no.chill.gil/

I agree if these dirty games from him keep on going on. He should've settled and retired and that's better for his reputation. I hope that he goes better with his next games.
Because if not and this continues, there's something wrong with it. It's just surprising to see that someone like him goes on rage and it's very unusual watching him being like that.
Guys, LeBron has only been ejected 2 times only, all the other dirty plays he did were either mild or he simply got away, I'm not a LeBron fan but he's not a dirty player, call him more of a flopper when the NBA were stupid enough to make those calls, but I really think he deserved to be ejected. may it be because of the heat of the game but you can see how irritated he was when he elbow punched Isaiah Stewart, the Lake show got the win anyways and I got my bet just right thanks to Russ.
I tend to agree, this just been some escalating moment but it does mean LBJ will be treated like he was a dirty player, which he isn't. He even tried to make an apology on what just happen if we tried to watch the clip on different angles, he kinda sorry on that. Was retirement really the solution, I guess not for God's sake, that shouldn't be if he can still play and his body can still handle it then let him play, I don't think he's below on the young guys.

I just read the news that Klay Thompson has started full practices with the team and the Golden State Warriors will have him in uniform playing games before Christmas. This team is going to be scary if he comes back anywhere close to where he was when he got injured. The thought they still have another starter in Wiseman that’s due back soon and I’m starting to think the Warriors might have another shot at reigniting their dynasty.
Welcome to the 2014-2015 Golden State Warriors but this time, they are better (at least for me).
The Warriors are playing right now without Klay but they are 15-2. What if he comes back? I know that he will not that efficient in his first few games and that is normal but there will be a time that he will come back the same Klay where he is just catching and shooting threes.

Just seeing the Warriors played today against the Raptors and that shows how great this team is. Steph, who is their main scorer scored only 12 points but Poole and Wiggins stepped up with a combined 65 points and won by 15 points. This just shows that anybody can step up to the team and can lead them to victory. It isn't only Steph who can lead the team because there are some who can fill what he is doing if he has a bad night. With Klay coming back, they will be stronger.

The game between GSW vs Toronto Raptors showed the deep development of the bench of the former. Poole and Wiggins are those players that definitely stepped-up on their recent games. While I had my doubts on Wiggins, his continuous and consistent scoring games made me think otherwise on the past statements that I mentioned. Those two players had a combined score of 65, in which Curry was feeding the ball to them.

The game between Lakers vs Pistons was also a controversial one, due to the fact that Lebron somehow elbowed Stewart on his eye. I kinda got scared that it might be the Malice in the Palace 2.0 but officials know what they are doing now to prevent another disaster from rising.

Agree with you, that's a sign of frustration that he cannot be dominant anymore, plus his team now is struggling and I really thought they would lose against the Pistons but I'm surprised they bounce back really strong in the 4th quarter. They had struggled against a weak team, so they have no chance to beat a good team especially in the playoffs if they won't adjust and Lebron acted like he began to doubt himself.

Or he could be feeling insecure about this young guys because he is disrespecting him. And if I may recall in this game, he was really frustrated, he was blocked twice with no fouls. It was clean block though so maybe this really fuel James attitude in this game specially a team like Detroit. Yes, he is not a dirty players, but this time he really went overboard and it was a cheap shot.
This years season has started last October and yet LBJ is starting to get rusty on his recent plays and not so dominant like the past years or should I say that he's not on his prime anymore. This one is the famous this season giving a cheap elbow-shot to Stewart in the free-throw line, and that is a pure disrespect to a co-player and yes I see that he's insecure that the young generations isn't afraid of him head-to-head.
LBJ should retire next season. He ain't so exciting to watch this time. Poor Stewart getting his career in danger while LBJ just got ejected without any penalties.

But I totally respect LBJ but maybe he's just frustrated on their run this season that's why he can't handle his anger well.

That only tells that he is a human, we sometimes cannot control our emotion, but Lebron has to understand that people are looking up to him, he has a huge number of fans who sees him as a model, showing bad actions in the court will not make the fans happy.

Related to the incident, according to the article below, they are predicting that Lebron will be suspended in 2-3 games.
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/predicting-lebron-james-suspension-history-suggests-2-3-games-for-closed-fist-hit-on-isaiah-stewart/

He should be suspended, otherwise, people will question the judgment of the NBA and think that there's favoritism happening, and the rules are not for everyone. At least we see this from Lebron, maybe it will be the first and last and he doesn't want to aggravate his problem that a future Hall of Famer has been suspended a number of games.

There's no official report yet but from what we can read online, there's a lot of speculation that Lebron will be suspended. Let's wait for a few more hours, for sure we will read the official news regarding what happened.
yes, there's no official report yet but we can already expect that a suspension will be served.
Look at the incident on Jokic, he was suspended for hitting Morris from behind, and in this incident, it's more serious as you can already see the blood coming from Isaiah Stewart's eyebrow.

How about Isaiah Stewart? what would be the action of the NBA on his action that he is trying to fight with Lebron?

he won't be facing a suspension, that's according to Dwayne Cayse.

I totally enjoyed watching the Detroit Pistons - Los Angeles Lakers game last night. Actually, I wasn't expecting a this much competitive game here. I assumed that Lakers would become the victor by a big gap. Because Lebron James was also back in this game. But it transformed into a really interesting game. Before the last quarter, Pistons were 15 points ahead. And I thought of the possibility of Lakers' making a comeback in only one quarter as quite low. But they showed an insane performance in the last quarter. The quarter score was 37-17 and Lakers managed to win this huge game by 121-116. At Pistons, Jerami Grant was the most scorer of the game (36 pts) but it wasn't enough for a win. At Lakers, Davis and Westbrook carried their team to the victory. They were both nearly making even a triple-double.

Well there's a possibilities that he is insecure knowing that he dominate the league for so many years and now he's almost out of his prime then those young talents can able to dominate him and this is totally can hit his pride that's why we see a bad game last night towards them.

But I totally respect LBJ but maybe he's just frustrated on their run this season that's why he can't handle his anger well.

I now have a doubt that the Lakers would still be a championship contender team, if their leader can't handle the problem, then their good chemistry will never be built. As for the Latest odds on the NBA futures, LA Lakers is now ranked at number 4, previously at number 2, here are the odds.
