I thought that they dominate again the 3rd quarter like they are always doing but it seems that they didn't did it but they did it in the final quarter.

Those 3 threes by Curry at the start of the quarter is the reason why they gained the momentum all thorough out the whole quarter and they just let the Cavaliers score 8 points. I mean only 8 points?? After battling toe to toe with the top team from 1st to 3rd, they will lose their gas coming to 4th and score 8 points. It might be too early but it seems that Curry is on the road to get another conference MVP award with how he is playing right now. He is the top leading scorer per game with 29.5, a 1.1 point difference between him and Durant which is second. What do you think? Will he get another MVP award this season?

Reaching to his skyf*ker level is not brand new for him but he is getting older and people expected him to be not as great as his MVP season. He is looking like he is once again close to getting that MVP and if Warriors success goes like this for a long time then I am pretty sure that he would actually win it.

Warriors is like a well-oiled machine and they are playing with talent but more importantly they are team playing which is the greatest threat to every team. They are so good all together that you forget about CURRY, which I know is insane but watch them, everyone wants to defend Curry then they play the ball around so much that you forget to check Curry for a milisecond and dude is running around so much and finds open space once again. It is really something amazing to watch, it is basketball as it should be played and I really love to see their musical play style.

It's now Curry - 1st, Durant - 2nd, Giannis - 3rd, Jokic - 4th, Doncic - 5th.
A big change from what was expected before the season starts where Luka Doncic was on the top. But I am still waiting for the Luka Magic. He is still there and may need to just step up his game a little bit when he comes back from his ankle injury. Average of triple-double with his points at 20-30 per game. Although, if he really wants to win the Season MVP race, he will need more than that. Because Curry is trying to lengthen the gap between them with his monster games.

Unless Steph gets injured, I don't see him stepping down from that 1st place.

I think that whilst Doncic is still doing really well with the Mavs, their record is just incomparable to the Warriors.

Plus, Doncic is actually averaging less points in this season than his overall career, which is definitely strange.

Curry is +250 now, I guess it's still a good odds to take as Curry is doing effortless basketball this season and the only way he would lose in the race is if he will get injured which as a fan we don't hope will happen.

https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/news/nba/updated-mvp-odds-after-nets-vs-warriors-curry-shortens-250/

I can't remember anymore the opening odds for MVP but I'm sure Curry is not even in the top 3.

What do you think? Will he get another MVP award this season?

This is one of the best season of Curry and his performance is superb, not only that, the impact to the team is always good as the Warriors are currently sitting at the top now, so no doubt that Curry could win another MVP award as long as he keeps himself healthy this season.

Curry is gaining the crowd and if he continues to win it, there's no chance for Luka to win the season MVP.

Look how great Curry playing with his teammates, it's not surprising if he will win this one again, though it's too early for that to conclude

as everyone from the top 10 can still rally and snatch the title, the season is still far and knowing how great all those stars; they are really

more than capable, it's just a matter that only one can win the title.

The warriors are playing a good season, thanks to Curry's MVP performance in every game. No doubt he will win the MVP this season because not only his stats has improved but the impact of his stats on the team is very evident, making them the number 1 team now. Although it's too early I already predicted he will win as long as he is healthy because he is very consistent, dropping 30 points ore more from him looks effortless.

^^ One thing about the Warriors is that you can't really count them out. When we think that they might lose against the Cavs, they come up big in the 4th, with Curry hitting those back to back 3's.

And then also put up a show on defense, just allowing the once hot Cavs to just 8 points in the 4th. You can really see what really happen in this game on the reaction from Kevin Love's face when the game is over. They let it slipped away.

P.S. He made another history again as he has made 85 3pt FG’s through 15 games this season. That marks the most 3pt FGM through the first 15 games of a season in NBA History!

And the most impressive part is that everyone contributed to a big comeback while they are making Curry take care of the points. I love to put a bet every time the warriors played, but this time I learned that live betting is also profitable especially if you bet on the Warriors when they are down.

Definitely profitable to bet on them, for sure those who bet on the starting line at -9.5 thought that they've already lost their bet.

But maybe there are gamblers who still bet on the Warriors when they went down 10-12 point. That will be huge odds.

Lesson here is not to bet against one of the hottest team, specially they have Curry to carry the team with his phenomenal outside shooting.

I think their biggest deficit was 13 points, you can review the play by play in https://www.espn.ph/nba/playbyplay/_/gameId/401360048.
Even if it's 20 points deficit, the Warriors will still be able to come back because Curry is there and as per report, Curry is playing with bothersome hip and yet he still score 40 points.

Love to see their confidence this season knowing that they come from huge upset last season so this really show to their bandwagon fans that they are capable of huge comeback and have higher chance to win the champ this season. Although its early to tell but for sure once we see they are complete in the presence of Klay which is nearly coming back for sure they will have more additional fire power which can help them more on their run.

Cavs seems to have a fighting chance against the Nets or is it just the Nets are having another bad day?
That third quarter was when the Cavs almost got near the lead and I saw Harden being really bad at his position as point.
You can see obvious dimes that was always intercepted by the guy defending him. I think Coach Nash should change some of his strategies.
Harden should not always handle the ball whenever he is on the floor. Mix it up to lessen the turnovers. Make him shoot more.

Cavs would have had a better chance with mobley under center as well. The 7 foot kid is going to be a star in the league, he has a good feel for the game. Nets were too much for them without mobley.

And knicks what a terrible couple of games. 6 games in a row they came out in the third quarter and got outscored. How can they not come out of half fired up, the energy just isn't there. Their second team with obi, q and drose has been much better than the starting crew. This needs to shake up this team.

I didn't noticed that Mobley was not there. Yeah, maybe if he had been there it would be a different ending.
Just checked it.

Quote

Mobley (elbow) has been diagnosed with a sprained right elbow and is expected to miss 2-to-4 weeks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

He had a good game against the the Celtics with 4 blocks and lead the team with points. I think he overexerted himself during that game that's why he is out. The Cavaliers roster is in a bad position. Upon looking at the injury reports most of their offensive player are listed to be out.
Markkanen, Allen, Sexton, and Mobley. I don't think Garland can shoulder all that weight without those big names.

I believe the Cavs still put up on a show even with their starters out, Garland put on quite a show as he delivered along with Rubio, Wade and Love, they were doing great but weren't consistent enough to go on par with the Warriors as Curry exploded in the 4th, I really think if Curry didn't gave out back-to-back 3pointers on that 4th, the game will be a pretty close match, they defended him well but Steve Kerr's offensive plan is just really something out of this world right now.

You can call it's a desperate move by the Lakers management to get all this veterans and put it on one time and then can't find the perfect fit to all of them.

Somewhat though, I remember the discussions about them in the pre-season games where the Lakers lost a lot of games and we say that it is not that important. But now it seems that we are seeing that even today, they are struggling to win and now that Lebron is out, it is far more evident that the veterans are not jelling as they supposed to.

I am rooting for their wise perspective about the game they love. All they need is time to figure out how they can use all their skills to make each other better. Then, they also need to at least afford the 8th seed or better 7th for just 1 game to win in the play-in tournament and take a spot for the playoffs. When that happens, we might see upsets that will break NBA records again.

Speaking of records, Nikola Jokic halftime record against 76ers 27 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and there is still another 24 minutes left to be played.
That's the stats of a star player who played 48 minutes already.

And he ended with 30 points, only 3 points scored in the next 24 minutes.

Obviously, they won't win if that is his stat in the second half. While the Sixers played solid the whole game even without their best man, Joel.

Sixers are a good team even without Embiid, that's because they have good chemistry and everyone on the floor can contribute.
Jokic is no doubt a great player and will likely win an MVP this season but their inconsistency is here again, so I must say they really need Murray to be back in the lineup again as he can be consistent in helping Jokic or even lead the team.

Funny how you said that since what happened was more like they built a team that can still win even without Lebron or when he's injured. You don't "build" a team around your superstar and fill the roster with mostly veterans. It's not balanced and it looked like a desperate move after what happened to them last season.

They are not desperate, they can still be a championship contender even if they didn't get Westbrook.

I understand what the Lakers did, they just want to improve their lineup by bringing all the friends of Lebron James, lol.
Unfortunately, they are struggling now because Lebron is injured but he'll be back soon so don't worry too much.

They might need more time to still figure out how a have the right chemistry, and what matters is that they are still in the playoff standing.
