Next to watch is Brooklyn's big 3 playing together.

With this good update, Nets’ Kevin Durant is close to returning from hamstring injury

That means we will see him soon.. actually it looks like people does not miss him because Nets did not struggle with his absence, but of course, we still want to see a complete line up of the Nets, specially the big 3 and we will see them soon.

Finally, that's very good news! Nets have been doing great even without him. But things will be so much better for them after KD's return. I can't wait to see KD, Irving and Harden playing together in the coming games. If we see a nice team play, I think there will be really no team that can stand in their way. Their toughest opponent is Lakers and they can actually give them a hard time. But my favourite for the championship is still Nets.

Yes, that was really a good news, with KD back, Nets will be stronger.

76ers already had Embiid back, his first game back against the Minnesota Timberwolves was a winner, he tallied 24 points and 3 blocks that block is huge, means he is healthy because he can play a good defense.

76ers also back in the number 1 spot, despite a 1 score with Nets _ https://ph.global.nba.com/standings/

I think Nets are having the wildest of years and they are definitely going to be doing great in the near future as well but the fact is that they are just way too newly gathered and they are a bit on the older side and they have a coach that is brand new to the work and they lack chemistry for now (even if you think it is good, it can get better) and they have too many people keep missing games constantly.
With all of the problems they are facing right now, they managed to get the top 3 spot as of this moment.

A brand new coach?? Maybe but lets not underestimate Coach Steve Nash. Yes he is just a new coach and now he is coaching a bunch of an superstar players and has a 41 total all-star appearances but we are seeing that he is capable of coaching them right? Chemistry is the one that they are lacking probably but that will change overtime the next games go by. The acquisition of these all star players put them as a candidate for winning the championship alongside Lakers. These might be their wildest year because of their new roster but if they will stay healthy in the next years and will stay intact, A back-to-back championship for them might happen.

I'm just browsing the social media minutes after and I just saw the Raptors-Warriors game and.. I don't know if I'm the only one who is shocked for a few seconds and browsed it and the lead is 58 as of this moment 128-70 with 3 minutes remaining. A quick search in Google and the Largest deficit that the Warriors got is 63 against the Los Angeles Lakers’ 1971-1972 and they might broke it today. Curry and Green didn't play though Cheesy.

Yeah, I bet on Warriors ML, only to realised that Curry and Green are not going to play, ouch!!

And I have seen that from the first quarters, the Warriors will be losing the game. But I didn't think that Toronto will build such a lead more than 50++.

For Harden's injury, it will be treated as day-to-day basis. His been playing MVP levels for the Nets, so the team has to readjust their rotation again.

Lesson learned, always check if the starters will play or not, it's just sad that both best contributor to the team did not play, sometimes things like that happen and we have already put our bet and we cannot undo anymore, maybe hedge early but its not gonna happen if the lead is too big for the opposing team.

Yes, in their last game, both of them played so I thought that they are going to start in this game.

No worries though, it's just the flow of the game, you loss some, you win some.  Grin

With what Brooklyn Nets currently have I don't think missing 1 all-star in their starting line-up could affect what they are doing. That is why we see they are ok with Kyrie Irving taking breaks as well as KD having an extended break for his "recovery" since they are already comfortable on where they are and I think they are more preparing in the playoffs rather than having a lot of wins in the league right now where everything will be on the line for the championship.
Overpower.
Harden can sit down and complete that recovery he needs. Even Kyrie can do the same and they will still have a strong roster that can compete with strong teams.
I think that golden era of GSW is already long gone and it should never be forget and for that they will have my respects even if I'm not a fan of the team. However, last night it was clearly that GSW will lose the game because they are having a much more tougher and important game coming next against Hawks and I think they will show up in full force.
It's done without Klay.
Their roleplayers are inconsistent. Wiggins is inconsistent. Draymond is also on and off.
We can't expect anything from them this year. They may fight in the play-in tournament and even lose there.
There are news circling around though about Klay already back with his short trainings.
Klay should not play this season even if he can, at the same time limit Steph playing time, as preparation for next years campaign, it will be worthless if you let him play with high minutes in the court if you want those two to compete for 100% next year, a wing and a center also is needed, Draymond need a partner under the basket, for me GSW should just tank this year.

^^ Just watch Durant's highlights prior to the injury, damn, he still has that deadly jump shot and his length really gives the opposing team a lot of mismatch. This could be the most anticipated comeback this season and see how Durant is. But for sure, he will only play when he feels that he is 100% and the timing is perfect because the regular season will be over.

At least entering the playoffs, his body is already warm out for the tough games ahead.
If Durant is healthy and also Kyrie and Harden, the chances of them winning the championship is very high. With their current roster right now, it looks like Durant is in the Warriors where he won 2 championships there. The only problem with him is the injury that he suffered years ago but when he's healthy, he's deadly in the court. We know how great he is.

They will enter the playoffs for sure. It would be better if they will just sit in the remainder of the season if their spot is secured already.

I guess this is the worst loss of the Warriors this season and the best perforance of Siakam. If I'm not mistaken, Siakam was criticize last season because his performance has decline after receiveing a max contract, but now he is coming back and contributing as to the team as expected.
This season, yes it is the worst loss of them but overall it isn't. I thought for a second that their worst performance overall will be beaten by this game but luckily it isn't. Raptors won with 2 of the Warrior's star out. It would be a different scenario if 2 of them are playing. I'm also surprised by how Raptors are playing right now. They still got some great players in Siakam, Van Vleet and Lowry and they are below 500 at this moment (19-30).

In the absence of Curry in the starting five, GSW were totally demolished by Raptors last night. It was really an embarrassing result for GSW surely (130-77).

I really liked Siakam's performance that he got 36 PTS, 7 REB, 5 AST.
I guess we have to set our expectations low for Golden State Warriors already. With all of those straight championship that they've made, I think that's enough already for them.

There are other stronger and better teams this time.

If they only have a healthy Thompson, they could be more competitive, Curry sometimes have injurt problem so it has affected the entire performance of the team as he is the main man of the team. They actually have a good start, I'm seeing them in rank 5 to 8, but now they are already in rank number 10 with 3 wins only in the last 10 games.

What do you think of this kind of decision guys? I think this is the dumbest thing he could ever do with his NBA career unless he has someone who gonna pay him more to change to another team after the end of his current contract.

Very much possible and for me that's no dumb decision. He'd be under utilised by the years and that will spoil his market value if he becomes a free agent, some of these mouth watering opportunities aren't developing for the player...

Maybe he is waiting for other teams to make a move on him, we have this article that Bulls are interested on him, probably they can offer him a better contract. https://www.nbaanalysis.net/2021/03/31/bulls-expected-to-consider-signing-dennis-schroder-in-free-agency/

Just because of Lebron having some injury, the stat made became lower for the Lakers. No doubt about the Nets and the Jazz.
There's no question on them being at the top. I think that list is fair enough if we're going to look at their matches and stats.

That's a weekly report, that could change next week or the succeeding weeks, but one thing is sure, as long as no injury in a certain team, they will not easily slide down on ranking, Nets is already consistent despite of some injury but Bucks and Jazz will remain consistent in the following weeks.

BTW, let's look at the Nuggets, they are in win streak now and Gordon is a big piece of their success.
That really will change if no one gets injured. Those teams are strong but with their superstars taking rest and being injured, they will only able to boost their teammates just for being at the bench but not contributing to the game through points.
Nuggets is another one that's interesting to look at that only a few notices, thanks.

There's no pressure for him to the point that they can already win the champ with the current rooster what they have but for getting the title? Well thats a big questionable to him since we don't know yet if he aims to become a mvp of this team since it could rise his marker value but for having a great teammates well provably he will struggle to get that title.

In addition, he will not feel the pressure since he is surrounded by all star players, it's okay if he can score at least 15 points per game because Harden and Irving will do the rest, they manage to win without him, more so if he will be back, not only that, he will be playing with new co stars, LA and Griffin.

That's just sad and a waste of money.
That happened to me before when I was too excited to bet on the next game that I forget to check why the sportsbook came up with such odds.
Since then, I always made sure to always check on the news in the NBA from the upcoming match up to make sure I'm not betting at the wrong team.
It's a lesson learned indeed.
