Heat vs Spurs and then Wizards vs Lakers are the most interesting match tonight, a must win situation. Wizards winning streak is also snapped, but Lakers is back with Anthony Davis on the line up already.
On the one hand, the Wizards have won 8 of their last ten games, and now they need to win every upcoming match to keep the opportunity to get into a play-in tournament. On the other hand, the Lakers also need to win this game because the Mavs are closing the gap. So yeah, this match will be interesting.

Big game tonight for the Knicks.  They dropped a winnable game against the suns.  Randall has to have a big rebound game he looked off against the suns.  The east is tight with around 10 games to go and a long west coast road trip ahead.  They can easily slide into the 8-9-10 spot with a couple losses. 😬

They are definitely more hungrier, as their winning streak has ended. So for sure they wanted to win against a lowly Chicago Bulls. I don't think that they can slide to that position though, they have good lead at 4th spot right now in the East.

There is only 2 games separating 4th and 7th which is a play in game.  The Knicks end the season on a deadly west coast trip.  Lakers, clippers, suns, Memphis, etc.  Those will all be tough games.  Some of the teams behind them have softer schedules.  If I had to guess, Knicks end up in 6th.  But would be happy if they sat in the 4/5 spot of course

Let us not forget that Dallas are winning even without KP, maybe they can trade him in the future to get a more durable (not prone to injury) player to play with them and help them to improve their defense, Luka needs some big help as he can't handle the big teams alone come this playoffs.
He's supposed to be a good trade asset on the team but for his current situation many team ownerd will dou t about his health since they might not use him if he will be injured again although his a good caliber player still the mindset of team evolves now mostly teams looks for young healthy stars to be added on their rooster.
Other teams know how much of a injury problem Porzingis is as well, if he wasn't this much injured he would have been a great asset but we all know he is. If Mavs ever want to trade him, they are not going to get too much for him, sure they are going to get some, but not too much. This is why I think they are keeping him for now, maybe they will drop is contract because of all the injuries and in that case they could get a lot more chances to get something. Even few first round picks from a low level team that is tanking would be insane, they could get someone from draft that will compliment Luka and they could play for a lot of years.

In any case, having Luka is a problem, why? Because he is good enough that he carries the team to playoffs so missing good draft position, but he is not good enough to get a championship all by himself, this puts Mavs in a difficult position.

I wasn't expecting that Mavericks would win that big against the GSW. Too bad I wasn't able to put a bit on the high odds like Mavs winning 11+ or more, that should have been a jackpot. Hopefully next time, I can spot a game like that,  Grin

You can already see how serious they are now,  GSW and Mavericks are not ensured yet with their standing, so they need to play hard to win here.

With that win earlier they secured their spot on the number 6 in the playoff in the western conference. If luck is in their way, Mavericks can give you the best play you can watch. especially when you see Luka Doncic doing his thing in a game.

Let us not forget that Dallas are winning even without KP, maybe they can trade him in the future to get a more durable (not prone to injury) player to play with them and help them to improve their defense, Luka needs some big help as he can't handle the big teams alone come this playoffs.

If there are open opportunities for the team to trade him, I agree that Luka needs someone who he can rely with.

It's hard for KP since he's not getting any younger plus those many injuries that he have, Dallas have a bright future with Luka's leadership, management needs to give role players who can jive with him, just how they offer good players around Dirk before.

Early. If he does his thing early.
I have seen him play badly in the first half and it will end like that. But when he establish a good start and warmed up, it's not easy to stop him anymore.
They will need two men to force him in passing the ball. He proved it last night. He just needs to play 28 minutes with 39 points because the lead was unreachable.
Golden State Warriors really played a bad night. This Friday against Timberwolves is a must-win for them.

He's supposed to be a good trade asset on the team but for his current situation many team ownerd will dou t about his health since they might not use him if he will be injured again although his a good caliber player still the mindset of team evolves now mostly teams looks for young healthy stars to be added on their rooster.

He hasn't proven yet actually, he is not a big deal anymore on the team, due to his inconsistency, it has affected the team's rotation and probably the chemistry too. Look at Dallas, they started winning because they have adjusted on KP's absence, but the moment he'll return, they need to adjust again and they'll be inconsistent.

porzingis is a decent player a star, you can't predict the injury everyone came across of it, no one can escape, Dallas has a good shot this season for the west finals, I just don't know if they can overcome the Lakers this year, if they can they have a good shot at the championship against the nets, also if Luka will not encounter another injury in the playoffs its a blockbuster faceoff in any team in the west.

I'm looking at GSW vs Dallas, I'm going on GSW here at (-4.5), if Curry exploded with 40++ points in this game I think they can covered the spread. Dallas is also on a back to back games, they've lost a tough one against the Kings last night.
Sadly, you lose this one bro.
I was also looking forward for the Warriors to win that game to be safer at the 8th spot.
Curry was doubled every time he handles the ball. He can't make that explosion he use to do whenever his running off the ball.
Dallas Mavericks also need that win after a bad loss against the Kings.
GSW won only with assists but had a very low percentage in shooting. They ended the 1st quarter with just 12 points and 29 at the half. That's the worse performance ever this season.

Yes, I wasn't able to watch the full games, just a glimpse of the 1st quarter wherein the Mavericks already built a huge lead that they didn't let go. And I was looking for Curry, but he can't even touch the ball in the 1st quarter alone so I said that it will be a very difficult task for the Warriors to overcome that huge lead and that's what happen here. Good bounce from Dallas after losing a game against the Kings.

That is really high shooting percentages for any game, and to have that from both teams at the same game shows how little defense was there from both defense.

Disagree, mate. There's a defense but it's just that field goals are getting in. As Popovich said, "We couldn’t stop them and they couldn’t stop us.”.

And during the final minutes in the regulation and overtime, you can see most points by players are in the paint area. There's always a defense on that zone. You will also see how Bradley Beal muscling his way close to the rim and still getting those shots even with a hard defense.

Yep, Wizard is a high octane team and they will run and score on every opponent in the quickest possible time. And that's where Russ strive and at the same time can dish out good assists for quick score.

I think they played good defense, but their offense is the fuel for their game. Unfortunately Beal wasn't able to hit that 3 to send the game into OT again, wish he had because I have Wizards on ML.

I guess some of the teams in the NBA will auction their own NFT's soon If the GSW will successfully sell all of their NFT's.

Looking at the bids, it's already a success. There are still a few more days left on the auction so I think some collections will breach over $10,000. Just wondering if the ETH used on previous bids will be converted into its current price as the price increases for a few days now.

I'm really stunned with those GSW collections. Damn! Tongue

The Lakers, Spurs, and Celtics can follow too. These teams do have several achievements already in the league making it more options for collections.

I was surprised to find out the news that the Warriors have become the first NBA team to launch NFT-collection. At the moment, there are several NFT auctions available on opensea. I guess it might be interesting for ardent fans of GSW.
https://gswnft.com/

I've checked one item which is - Edition 1 - 2017 Warriors Championship Ring NFT & Physical Ring

The price of it is crazy $7,389.37 as the current bid amount.

Will never have a chance to owned one here. Grin

Cool stuff! I'm pretty sure GSW fans would love to participate in the bidding hope to get one of these collections. Though the bidding price is so expensive, only the rich fans would be able to get one of these collections.

I guess some of the teams in the NBA will auction their own NFT's soon If the GSW will successfully sell all of their NFT's. This will be a good alternative to cope up with the business income amidst the pandemic.

@SquallLeonhart... Wizards are a high-scoring team, spurs also have shifted to a high-scoring game as what they've told us before this season starts, so it's normal to see this high-scoring game but in the end, it favored the spurs. Both teams badly need a win to at least ensure their rank to be in the top 10, it's just lucky that Spurs won this game.
