The big NBA Cup game is upon us. Will Giannis and Dame be able to carry the Milwaukee Bucks to a victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, or will Shai and the underdog boys continue over performing and take home the cup this year? I’m leaning towards Giannis and the Bucks, but we’ll see soon enough.
I thought that the Heat is going to win as they lead by 8 down with 2 minutes and I said that I've won my bet on the Heat and it was a nice comeback. But suddenly Hardaway Jr hits 3 consecutive threes to give the Pistons a 1 point lead. And it was just enough for them to take the W as Hero misses his 3 point shot attempt.
I didn’t watch the game but I’m happy with the outcome because my Pistons were +4 in that game, and I just needed them to cover the handicap, but they ended up winning outright. The Pistons are quite unpredictable, but they’re no longer a lousy team.In their past games, they almost beat the Bucks, unfortunately, one player missed two crucial free throws that could have sealed the win. For me, that was their best game this season, one I won’t forget.
The Detroit Pistons have actually been really good this season in my book,, they’re a such a threat now to almost any team in the west, If their star player Cade and a bunch of their good additions to roster could stay healthy for the season, then perhaps they could hope for post season appearance, they had 14 wins the entire of last season, while they have about 11 already with only just 1/4 of the season gone.
And with that there are a lot of speculations as well,
- going to be traded
- has foot injury
But the reasons given is that he has to tend for "personal matter", so we should rule out injury already. And the word "personal" might really connote something is going on with Lebron right now that he needs to step down in the last couple of days and not play to clear his mind and so this conspiracies has surface, but who knows, it could be true. And maybe the authorities has really had the P Diddy video and it shows Lebron there?

Even if there is a video of LeBron at these p daddy parties, it's unlikely fans will change their attitude towards him in any way. I mean, his basketball accomplishments and records won't go anywhere, and he'll still be the GOAT for most fans. However, it can't be ruled out that his media reputation may suffer one way or another because of this case.
He already cleared that out and he says that it's because of his foot injury. And it was the doctor that advises him not to play and so he missed games. And he added that if he was to decide, he will not want to missed games as it is very important for him to contribute.
So I guess the rumors though about him in the P. Diddy won't die as there are a lot of sports celebrities and starts that has been drag in the drama and speculation specially about Diddy or Jay-Z being accused of rape.

Lakers won with LBJ returning to the lineup. But it was AD who carry the team with a huge 40 points and 16 rebounds performance. The Lakers open up as much as 20 point lead in the second half. And if you are fans of Lakers, you will be a bit nervous on how they will perform and in the 3rd and so that was a concern as they let the Memphis team cut their lead.
But they were able to gold the rally, and for sure the fans of Lakers are very happy to see LBJ back in their lineup and it seems that he energized his time with dunks and his signature chase down block shots.
As a fan of Lebron, not a huge fan but I do like him, I have to say it's sad to see his last years in such a team. I normally like them a lot and I think he is good and he could win another ring if you build a decent team around him. But seeing how they are doing this season, aside from the first few games where they were very dominant and looked awesome, they have been just decent this season.But they were able to gold the rally, and for sure the fans of Lakers are very happy to see LBJ back in their lineup and it seems that he energized his time with dunks and his signature chase down block shots.
This is why I believe that we are not going to see Lakers win the league at all, and this is causing a lot of people who are fans of Lebron like me to feel sad about it. They may have won this game, and it was a good game without a doubt, but we need to remember that it was just a game and they do not look great overall if you look at all of the season.
Actually they have decent team right now. Those people around him is great players in the league. The problem is they didn't get a perfect system that will work to anyone of them that's why they struggle to hit what they want to get and end up losing from other teams.
But if they could get a good coach that can facilitate each players talent and they won't rely only on Lebron or either Davis then provably that there's huge chance for them to get another championship again. Also its early to say something negative on them and they have lots of games to play, so lets just see if they can get advance to playoffs since its so bad for all of them if they cannot advance for next round and they totally flop in this season.

Crazy game between the Miami Heat and the Detroit Pistons. Pistons leading by as much as 20 points, and the the Heat started to cut down the lead with threes from Hero And Duncan Robinson, and then they force a OT.
I thought that the Heat is going to win as they lead by 8 down with 2 minutes and I said that I've won my bet on the Heat and it was a nice comeback. But suddenly Hardaway Jr hits 3 consecutive threes to give the Pistons a 1 point lead. And it was just enough for them to take the W as Hero misses his 3 point shot attempt.

Tim Hardaway Jr. became the hero of the Detroit Pistons helping defeat the Miami Heat in overtime! Wow. The Heat had a 6-point lead with 2 minutes remaining in overtime and the Pistons badly needed some threes to cut the lead. Two consecutive three-pointers, that's what Tim did to help the team get close and then take the 1-point lead. Somehow this gives the Pistons fans something to look forward to when they watch their home games.
That broke my parlay but that was definitely one heck of a game from the Pistons. They didn't give up until the end and it's worth it.

There are rumours about Lebron actually not being injured but trying to make some defense about what's going on. Too many celebrities are under scope right now regards to P Diddy parties, and Lebron is a known participant of those, and that means that we are seeing some tough future for Lebron. He has spent 20+ years in his career all clean, he has that clean image and he has never been involved with any type of scandal before, he hasn't even said anything political all that much neither, soft stuff, not enough to make anyone angry over.
And right now, suddenly, after 20+ years, he is getting the biggest news and that's why he needed to give a break to basketball and try to figure out what else he could do, that's the most important part for him, to keep a clean image. He is back now, and won the game but that break was suspicious to me too.

Yes, finally, AD performed well. He had been playing like shit in their past games and maybe it's Lebron's return that boosted his confidence back. Field goals, 15/22 FG. That's something the Lakers badly needed to win. That says it all, the Lakers is in need of a playmaker whenever Lebron misses games. I mean, Lebron fed AD and this is the result, but when he is not around, it's DIY for AD. But they were able to gold the rally, and for sure the fans of Lakers are very happy to see LBJ back in their lineup and it seems that he energized his time with dunks and his signature chase down block shots.
DLo is not that playmaker and Austin Reaves too. But I think it's because the chemistry between the two is so strong that they can understand each other just by looking at their eyes. Still, Lebron is aging, he needs to pass the baton to someone.
They move differently in this games, AD and Austin Reaves, and even Cam Reddish as well. So I do agree that Lebron being in the lineup and shooting good as well might have trigged something with this player as it was the usual Showtime Lakers that we are expecting them to be. Lebron is moving so well, with dunks, steals and a blocks so everything is good with him.
And it's not an easy team to beat the Memphis as Ja is present and Jackson guarding AD. But the Lakers have no problem with Ja as he can't take off and somewhat being check in this game. Overall, it's a good win by the Lakers, but it's the question whether Lebron will play or will choose to sit out the next game because of his name being dragged in the Diddy case.

Nobody might be talking about him anymore, and what's his solution to it? Making something that will make him more popular. 
Just a few minutes ago, he made an ankle breaker against Payton Pritchard which make the crowd go "Ooo", and he even pointed at him, which is a bit disrespectful, but he didn't convert it into a three-point. Some might not find it funny, but he's Jordan Poole. Here's the link of the video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxYb1D3EHNI
For me, he's the modern Javale McGee.
With this, it will give more opportunities for their shooters to shoot. Having a deep depth is very helpful during the playoffs, and it seems like they will be clinching the playoffs this season just by basing on their performance in the past 20+ games. As for having a big depth, the perfect example on this one would be the Denver Nuggets when they won a title. They had a very deep roster on that one and that helped them win their first title.

I mean adding a good defender is definitely a good move by warriors. Dennis Schroder is a good perimeter defender and they needed one, and Draymond, even at his late stage of his career, still spends way too much time at centre when they go towards small ball, and they do that often as well.
So, this means with Dennis on the floor, they can spread better as well and he will help with perimeter defense. Obviously he is a bench player, but I can see him do like solid 20 minutes as well, feels like he can definitely get there without a problem. I believe with this type of move, they are planning on making the depth a bit more so that they can do better during playoffs, could be a great help when you have a big depth on the roster.
Aside from the fact that he's a great perimeter defender, what's good about him as well is he has passing abilities, and we are seeing it this season since he's averaging around 6.6 APG. Being a great defender is a plus already, but his passing skills is what the Warriors made him get.

They already have a good perimeter defender in GPII, and I think Podz too is a good defender. Perhaps it was the ball playing, initially they got Melton to do that, to help ease that job from Curry, unfortunately, he go injured and so they will have to find another one.
So he will play along Steph for sure in the closing minutes, the one that will make the decision and bring the ball for them. So that at least Curry can preserved his energy on the 4th, or he can take a rest in the first couple of minutes without them having problems taking the ball down and still have a good scorer in Dennis.

Just in: Dennis Schroder going to the Warriors. I didn't expect this, when there have been other names tied to the rumors, Dennis was the man. 
Warriors in advanced discussion to acquire Dennis Schroder
The deal has been reportedly completed as per Shams Charania on twitter. Warriors in advanced discussion to acquire Dennis Schroder
I don't know the Warriors have done this but it's probably their biggest win of the season so far, given up just De'Antony Melton who's out for the season and 2 second picks for Dennis Schroder who's definitely one of the best guard in the league this season, he's one of the core player and leader for the much improved Brooklyn Nets this season, it does feel like the Nets do have a whole of other pieces in their roster, but still it's a big loss for them imo, and the Warriors seem like the immediate winner of this trade for me.

Warriors in advanced discussion to acquire Dennis Schroder
This is indeed a great move for Warriors for getting Schroder in their team. He has a lot of experience especially a well known good contributor for each team he plays.
Just curious about what's going to happen now since they have so many guards on their rotation https://www.espn.ph/nba/team/roster/_/name/gs/golden-state-warriors But let see how they gonna rotate their players and if they could find a good chemistry with their new added player.
Nobody expect them to come up with this trade but guess Warriors surprise their fans for adding Schroder in their team. But still this is a good move made by Warriors since somehow they add valuable player which potentially can bring good contribution to their team. Schroder could also score if he will get a license to do that, so let see the adjustment done by Warriors in their current rotation since they have so many ball handlers in their team.
Also let see if Giannis will dominate in this cup since somehow OKC is not an easy team so for sure they will get a hard time with OKC since this team is young and full of talents.
A very quiet negotiations about that trade for Schroder, I'm just hoping that Green will not messed with him knowing that Schroder also have that mentality that he can lead a team, let see if how he'll work with GSW system, though I think he's okay with it as he also have a good outside shooting plus the fact that he can penetrate if Warriors coaching team will permits him.
Too early to conclude it's a matter if how him and the team will adjust to link him with how the system works for the entire team.

Yes, it's De'Anthony Melton and three second-round picks. I think it's a good deal for both team, a win-win situation. Melton got injured and so they didn't get something out of him although there are high hopes on him when he join the Warriors as a guard.
And we all know how Schroder is, if he wants to score, he will, if he wants to just a implementor inside, he can do that as well. So he is a well rounded point guard and who knows, maybe a good compliment with Steph and maybe we can see good passes to their big man as well.
Even though I am a big fan of DS I think 3 draft picks (and D. Melton) is quite a big price for him. Under normal circumstances it's go but Schröder is on an expiring contract so he is an unrestricted free agent after this season.
I can imagine he wants to resign with the GSW if the price is right so maybe they already have some kind of understanding about this, who knows.
Anyway, I think he is a great addition to every team. There is a reason why he was the MVP in the FIBA world cup last year and this season in Brooklyn he also showed them. Coming from the bench he can lead the 2nd unit but also is a solid starter if necessary. Also his defender skill really have improved over the years!
Hopefully the deal gets done so he finally might have some sort of chance to win something in the NBA.
I think it's 2 second round picks in total not 3, the trade states, Warriors gets: Schroder and 1 2nd round pick, while Brooklyn Nets gets: Melton, and 3 second picks. I guess one of the picks will be a swap for a certain year.
In my opinion, given how little valuable 2nd round picks have been for the last few draft class, it's not much that Warriors have given up for an immediate return, I'd agree that with Schroder having an expiring contract could change things a little, because it could all come down to how well he's able to settle into the Warriors team.
