It will be tough for the Suns as they will be facing the hottest team next, New York Knicks. Although they are still the slight favourite base on the current odds.

It's no wonder the Suns are considered favorites, but the Knicks have nine wins in a row, and they will play at home. Anyway, it will be an interesting match, considering that these teams will meet for the first time this season.

It's a tough challenge for the Knicks, but that's alright, they are on a winning streak, they will be more motivated to win as they would like to take this opportunity to improve more as they suddenly became a good team in the playoffs. Imagine, two NY teams will be in the playoffs this season, it does not happen all the time.

Tough challenge for the Knicks as Suns came from a loss after meeting KD and the rest of the Nets.

Booker played well and Ayton keeps finding mismatch against him, if this two stars continue this kind of momentum the chance of breaking the winning streak of the Knicks is very possible, plus not to forget that CP3 always love the challenged he might bring this game to his shoulder.

But like what you have said Knicks is really hot taking that 9th winning streak they've developed good chemistry.

What's funny is if. LA Clippers vs LA Lakers will meet in the WCF and Brooklyn Nets vs NY Knicks will meet in the ECF. Grin

That might be great securing the city's finals appearance! Most fans expect that last bubble both LA will face each other but didn't materialized!

I believe there is much higher chance Lakers and Clippers will met in the first round. They can be 3rd and 6th or 4th and 5th.

Only 3 weeks left. Utah is the only team already in playoffs. Huston and Minnesota only teams out of of any chances. Next week will be crucial!

I think the lakers will come out victorious when they meet in the first round, not that the clippers are weak, but they always choke, last year I believe they have a chance to make it to the finals but they throw it away, clippers have the tendency to over confident, at George are very inconsistent when it comes to playoffs if they really want to win George really need to step up every game.

Nope we cannot assure that we see how weak the lakers is when AD and Lebron is out of the picture, they really need him to give them a energy to win the game but for what LBJ experiencing now I don't think they can assure to win since even if LBJ is back still he's not 100% ok since he is suffering from serious injury. We see AD struggle when he came back he only produce bad numbers in the game. But let see's Lebron performance if he can able to get up quickly after that injury.

LeBron's presence is enough for the Lakers to win games even If he's not scoring like he usually do. Because he's a good passer, he can split defenders and he can draw two man from the opponents defense that will lead to an open man.
From there on, we can see how vital Drummond could be for the Laker team once they have a healthy roster.
I'd love to see a healthy Laker team as well as the championship contender teams from both conferences. To make things short I'd love to see a fully healthy teams in the post season, but I don't think that'll happen this playoffs.

Big win by the Warriors, that block by Curry was a big one.
With that win, the Warriors are still hanging at the number 10 spot, while the Pelicans really need to win more so they'll catch up.

Once the Warriors compete, they should not be underestimated as Curry likes to be in this kind of situation, he is a champion and that cannot be taken from him.

That Suns vs Nets game was a good one. Devin Booker and DeAndre Ayton had great games but it wasn’t enough to stop Kevin’s Durant and Kyrie Irving in the end. Blake Griffin was pretty efficient too. The Nets efficiency from the field is hard to stop. When they’re outshooting people from the 3-point line by more than 10% I don’t think they can be beat.

Ayton take advantage of a lot of mismatch and he did score a lot of points close to the basket.

But Kyrie was hot and then some glimpse of Griffin as he has a good game as well driving to the basket and had some three point as well.

It will be tough for the Suns as they will be facing the hottest team next, New York Knicks. Although they are still the slight favourite base on the current odds.

KD and Kyrie both are playing well, they take the challenge and prove that they can beat strong team. I like how KD bring that 14 points in the last quarter.

Also noticed to that game, Griffin are now more comfortable he's taking more shots now and helping the Nets in terms of offensive attacks.

Looks like CP3 forget their old memories taking that charge to Blake without a call and get a basket.. Grin

I didn't monitor the injury update of Durant, I thought he would not come back but I was surprised he played in that game, it looks like he wasn't injured, he is playing very well in that game, congrats to the Nets, they are now a bit ahead from the 76ers.

That's his personal opinion, I just love how he scream and most importantly, I love how he is wrong most of the time. Most of us are wrong actually, Knicks are not expected to be in the playoffs, but now they are holding a good standing which already guarantees them a playoff spot as there are only few games remaining to play.

I agree. Those commentaries that he does made him famous. I'm amazed though with how he admits his wrongs. You won't see much tv personalities who does that. They'll just keep on fighting with their pride.

No matter how their standing will end, as long as they will be in the playoffs, they have a huge chance of making a repeat.

I think this is their goal right now, at least stay in the fifth spot and try to grind it out till AD be back on his usual self and minutes playing and then James comeback as well.

It's the play-in tournament which I worry if ever the Lakers won't win their next games and Mavs taking their spot.
Fatigue will be the enemy. Instead of resting their bodies, they will be playing the tournament then directly to the playoffs.
Let's see if AD could put more minutes. 28 is fine last time versus the Mavs but it's not enough while Lebron is still out.

I think no matter what position in the playoffs the Lakers will win that, there will be a small competition with the clippers but I don't think if they will face each other the lakers will win that one, but as we heard James will be playing so I'm excited that final three players will play although I think there will be time restriction.

Remember guys this is the team with Lebron James and Anthony Davis, playing at their best they are the best team in the league proven by their championship, whereas right now 1 of them is missing and the other is on minute restriction coming back from an injury, obviously things may look bad right now but they are 100x better than current situation when everyone is healthy.

We can never forget that as that's the first championship of Lebron and AD, this season is just different as they suffered some injuries and the other teams are just improving, however, I still believe that they can be back healthy again before the playoffs and of course they will certainly qualify in the playoffs.

That championship team last year has been broken already, Howard, Javale and Danny Green are no longer with the Lakers so it's really different team now,not just the injuries they suffered for this season.

The Lakers seems making a huge adjustment from Davis' return.
They had indeed a terrible defense, and AD's poor shooting percentage was adding to the burden. AD was completely inefficient in his return from both games against the Mavericks.
They should've owned the paint with Kristaps' absence, but no they got destroyed by Powell.
AD needs to find his rhythm before the season for them gets worse. 3-5 more consecutive losses will send them down to the bottom and worse a post season elimination.

I believe that is not a problem at all, for two main reasons ; first of all AD came back from a long injury which means it will take time for him to get better again, it is not going to be easy, it will definitely be better though, he will definitely get better without a doubt, however he needs some time before he can get better.

The second thing is, there is too many game difference between them and the bottom, they can not only start winning soon, but also they can lose that much, become 7th and then climb back up as well.

We cant fasten up the time but it would really come when their main players would really back in track in terms of performance or their casual gameplays for now we can
see on whose lacking and who came back from an injury which it isnt really surprising for AD to have that kind of performance but they shouldnt really let the situation
comes worst because panic would comes next when they do know that they are already on the bottom and on the risk of elimination.

Lakers has a good lead, and just like you, I thought that they can pull the win against the Dallas. But Dallas played good defense and then pour in the points. Davis has an extended minutes but it was obvious that he still need some game or at least they need to win with Davis playing high level tennis again.

Luka Magic seems to never lose his composure.
He was at bad state at the first half but he never gave up. At the end, he was the one making all the plays (assists to Powell) to give the Mavs a huge lead and secure the win.

They are meant to be in the playoff this year with their current skills in the court as a team. only a few teams in the history of the NBA can get 9 straight wins before a few games to get to the NBA playoffs. it means that these guys are in their prime mode. It will be nice for them if they will play together with Brooklyn Nets in the NBA playoffs.

I underestimated this Knicks team when they didn't even try to get KD or Kyrie for their team. But now they are proving that they made a good decision.
They even said before the season starts that they are rebuilding and I can still remember Stephen A. Smith (Knicks fan) stating they won't even touch the playoffs.
Look at them now. Their chemistry is so high and winning every game isn't that difficult anymore.
Let's see if they can also beat the Phoenix Suns.

Whatever Stephen a Smith says typically goes wrong. He just screams at the TV trying to make it sound like he knows what the he'll he is even talking about. How he is on TV as a sports analyzer is beyond me.

That's his personal opinion, I just love how he scream and most importantly, I love how he is wrong most of the time.
