So New York Knicks upset Dallas in their home court. Knicks really play good defense down the stretch and Luka's magic was late, while Randle taking care of business with a double double, 44 10 tonight. So the streaking Knicks is still very hot W5. Also Wizards with a OT win, Zion fouling Westbrook with 1 second left and hitting the free throws.

They already build a good lead in the fourth that's why Mavericks found it difficult to close the gap and even if they hit three's, Knicks response back as well. And the Noel's block, ohh, what a defense, easy two for Dallas turns out to be a point for the Knicks.

We also have a close one with Portland winning against San Antonio, lots of body banging during the dying seconds, but the refs didn't call a foul as compare to Zion's on Westbrook.

I can hardly believe, Lamarcus Aldridge needed to retire because of this problem in his heart!
He is still young (35 years old), and i know, he is not too young, but I feel bad that this problem happened to him.

Guys, do you think in future, if this problem in your heart softens or improves, there are still chances of Lamarcus playing basketball again? (maybe in 1, 2 or 3 years?) or i'ts impossible?

He will not get a ring, he will be out of the team because he cannot come back anymore.

https://www.nba.com/news/nets-lamarcus-aldridge-announces-hes-retiring-from-nba

The word "retirement" means he is out for good.
Thank you Natalim. That's clear to me now and maybe for others who doesn't know about it too.
So its just the traded players that has a chance to get a ring. Players who still played for the team even for just seconds or just signed for hours before being traded again.
Like this guy.

It's still the team managements decision if they will give a ring to him.
The Nets management could create their own ring for Aldridge if they want to. But the value of it will just be the ring unlike with other players.

Anyway, how about let's discusss the Knicks vs Mavericks game, Knicks on a roll. what do you think, are they gonna win against the Mavericks here?

I guess I'm gonna ride my money with the Knicks here, I'll bet on the moneyline as they are the underdog and I think they have a chance since they are in a win streak. I'm getting 3.37 betting on the NYK in https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/basketball/usa/nba/dallas-mavericks-new-york-knicks-6059757fc57dd8176dc7a7ae....

Luka did the magic last time, not sure he can do that twice in a row.  Grin

Knicks are undoubtedly good but there's a reason why they are an underdog in this game, one of the main reason is that they are a bad road team. They have a record of 12 wins and 17 loses on the road, so that's probably their problem here but I'm not saying they'll loss in this game as they won a road game against the Pelicans, so let's see.

Well it will depend on what team they are facing and for that match up seems knicks are in trouble but we cannot just point out who will win since still knicks are a good team now but I believe Dallas has the advantage against this match up. But lets see if they can beat the ass of Luka in the road since its a great boost if they win this game.

Mavs are in their home court, bookies give them -6, so obviously they have an advantage, but hopefully this is a exciting game to watch, Knicks is just having a good season so winning against a good team will improve their reputation as a good team. Luka vs Randle, I like to see who will perform bettor,  but usually everything is easy for Luka, a double double is possible here.

I love Knicks chances against Dallas, they are in the winning streak so chances are the team are in high morale and they are well rested as well. Dallas has been inconsistent lately, if not for that buzzer beater of Luka, they could have lost that game.

Knicks is also a good defensive team, they are 3rd in team defensive efficiency, so this is going to be a close game. And the ML for Knicks is very attractive, so a small stake wouldn't harm us if we bet on Knicks tonight.

Zion Williamson has been going off lately, averaging nearly 30 points per game and his fg% is off the charts.  He's the #8 leading scorer in the NBA now and his recent games would have him at #3 if he went at that pace all year.  I guess when people expect a lot from you, they don't show much appreciation.  This kid is having a major breakout season and it seems like nobody is talking about it.  I think next year his stats will be so good that he'll start entering the MVP discussion, then maybe people will starting putting some 'spect on his name.

He is not talk in town since the focus of media is the current happening on the teams like changing team of stars,the nets,lakers and also with lebron. And seems the efforts of Williamson has been layed off maybe he needs to create a sound on social media so the attention of people will go to him.

I guess thats quite a good numbers already to enter the discussion but pelicans need to advance maybe in playoffs which is near to them or in finals so that the name of Williamson will be possibly included to that list.


People already expecting him to do well in his career since he is a top pick of the league, zion is already a talk in the NBA world and also in the side of the fan, it's just the media are focus on the teams that have a potential to be in the finals, LeBron is in the same spot where zion is, you will be in coverage if you bring your team in the playoffs and in the finals, what you have observed is normal, we talk about zion how good he is, we even collecting cards because we know he will be same as LeBron in the future.

Maybe because he is still too young and he does not have a good season last season.. well, if his team will be in the playoffs this season, then he will be in the discussion especially if they will win even in the first round as probably that woudl be an upset to the higher seed.

Not everyone sees that as they are just strong teams, but like I said, if they'll win at least one round this playoffs, then his name will be in the list could possibly be one of the starters in the next all star.

This wont be an easy game for Knicks but considering they do have 4 win streak then they might able to pull it through but against Mavs? that would be a hard one.

Mav's does have 7-3 in last 10 games even though it hadnt streak out but i do have high hopes that they cant beat up Luka's ass.  Cheesy

Im with Mav's on here.

Mavs won last game against Knicks so Knicks might want revenge. Mavs also did not play well in last few games. But on the other hand Mavs desperately need wins if they want to end on 6th rank and stay out of play in tournament.  And whole team is healthy now. So 2:2 fro me. Maybe overtime will be needed.

Too bad LaMarcus Aldridge retired early but health come first. I wish him good luck on his journey after his successful NBA career.

It's time to spend time with family now. He probably already has enough money for his next 5 generation grandchildren.

Financially wise, he already had it if he is not a heavy spender. He had some good contract with the Portland and Spurs.

Here's the list of his salaries in a yearly basis _ https://hoopshype.com/player/lamarcus-aldridge/salary/
You'll be amaze how big it is, and I think living a simple life would already make a person financially free with that kind of money.

That's good to hear that he is financial stable, unlike those superstars who retire or quit, but due to their excessive lifestyle, all their NBA income has been spent on things like cars and houses, without any future investments.

So we can say that it was really an easy call for him to retire and take care of himself and his family and not force himself to play just to sustain his lifestyle. Yeah, probably he can have a management role in either Portland or San Antonio if he wanted to.

I was just assuming though based on his salary, but we never know what his real financial status now, or how he will spend his money in the future now that he is already out or has retired from the NBA.

Making sure that everything has been taking care is very first thing most NBA players are going now, learning from the past experienced by those old stars,

They are now doing the right thing, investing or managing their finances carefully, I used to remember Pippen and his controversial
mistake with his finance adviser.

With ALdridge case, it's better to take care of his health than to force himself playing and risk his life, having enough savings from his long journey inside this league can sustain his family, good thing to retire now.

Greg Oden. Yes, that was a waste. High expectations for him to dominate the centers of NBA. If he was healthy, I bet his offers will be hitting the roof.  Grin
In case of Aldridge he already played a lot of hoops and I think that is enough to prove he is also one of the best forwards in the league.
He didn't get a ring but he's still one of the elites that will not be forgotten.

I was also shocked about the retirement. It was a big surprise.
Just out of curiosity, will they give him a ring if ever the Nets win the championship?
He has been dealing with his heart condition for a while, I know that his retirement could have been a bit shock to anyone who didn't know about that, but even the ones that knew it would basically be expecting him to do that eventually, even if timing could be a surprise, it was definitely expected anytime in the last 2-3 years.

I am a spurs fan and we knew this for the past few years, it wasn't as bad as making him retire, so he kept playing, but it really didn't help that much for his fatigue and rest, because of his condition he couldn't train as well as other people, he had to basically take care of his body and not overuse it, which caused him to play lesser and lesser minutes and have higher and higher fatigue.

I guess he called it game and just left it at the table. About the ring deal, I don't know if they would have done it in any other situation, but since this one is health related and basically a very great PR move, they will give him one for sure.

Yeah but this kind of people who dedicated his career in sports will not gonna be contented by just sitting and watching other players playing the game he once enjoying.

It's sad to see an early retirement for him. I hope that he can find another opportunity for his career to be use.

If he will just be positive despite of his problem, he can find a good life after basketball.

We never know what lies ahead but if we trust God and trust ourselves, anything we like to achieve could happen, his basketball career is over but not his life.
