^^ Definitely, Philly and Bucks will be the biggest test for Nets in the East. Joel playing MVP level (although is he injured), and then the resurgent Bucks with Giannis again playing very good basketball as well.

It's just the spotlight on the big 3 of Nets right now, initially many thought that it won't work with Harden and Irving playing together, but so far they prove as wrong, although their winning streak might be stop today by the Orlando Magic.

I'll take Phili as the biggest threat in the east for the nets, if Joel will be 100% healthy until playoffs this be for sure it will give trouble for the nets, we see how they push the raptors, without the lucky bounce by Leonard they would have been in the finals, and I think they have now more experience on how to handle and play in pressure, embid will be hard to stop underneath Jordan can't handle embid for sure.

What can you say about the Nets vs Magic game? Orlando snapped Brooklyn's winning streak. It was really a good game, Kyrie Irving is back scoring 43 points, but Orlando responded with Aaron Gordon's 38 points. I thought that Magic will come back as they have cut the deficit to single digit many times but Gordon, Vucevic and Fournier keeps them in the fight and responded.

I am also guilty of my bad speculation with Nets management.
I thought it won't really work. But why did it work? It's actually Harden that shifted his game style.
Less dribbles more passing and focus on defense. Although we can still see the habits of the Rockets style Harden, it's lesser now.

I do agree it is the 76ers they must be careful with.
Looking at how they perform without Embiid is scary.
127-105 Win against Bulls.
134-99 Win against Spurs
99-96 Win against a defensive team Knicks
Before losing against the Bucks.

This may also seal the deal that Danny Green is a lucky charm. Grin

I see that coming! if Sixers win the title then it's him really.

Just like how Robert Horry whatever team he went he'll get a title, Rockets, SA and Lakers. While with Green he already got it
from SA, Raptors and LA. If Green win this one again it will give him his 4th ring with 4 different teams. He'll break Horry's 7 titles
with only 3 different teams..Hehehe, Moving back to Nets, Harden really adjust and let the coach decide unlike with Rockets where
he's running everything. though I just assuming,.

Winning the title already an achivement but if he also win the coach of the year award that's really something every
new and old coaches desires.

Too early though to talk about that even they are performing and making history for the franchise by now, but there are many things
to consider since it's still the first round.

Hopefully they'll maintain this winning form upto the second round or if fate declare them to the finals then so be it. Wink

That's just an individual appreciation if Steve will win something as coach of the year and that means that he's the best for this season. That's it, they have to maintain what they've shown well for this early of the season. If they have shown great performances for the past matches, they only have to become consistent on it. Early to talk about championships or not, we fans usually talk about it even before the season starts.

Winning the title this year is above 50% for the nets, in my opinion, if those three players are healthy in the playoffs there will be no doubt they can be in the east finals, I'm just concern for kyrie, he has a history of getting hurt every playoff, when he's in the Cavs uniform, every year, I hope he will not be in another playoff resting, in the bench.

Durant has a history of injuries already. Harden has too and even Kyrie has. In short, all 3 of them have a history of injuries already. This year yes they are the favorites in winning the championship right now but if only one of them will suffer injury, the chances of them winning will be drop significantly.

All of our eyes are towards the Nets right now but we don't see other teams too like the 76ers or the Jazz right now. Do you think that they have a shot too in an NBA championship and can compete against Brooklyn??

Yes, their chances are huge this season to win the championship.

Harden is playing very good without Durant and Irving. To be fair with Irving, he keeps on pushing his body because he is the go to guy with Cavs and Boston during that time. That's why he goes 110% on playoffs, but this time with Harden and eventually KD around, he won't take the load, his handling of the ball will be lessen since Harden can bring the ball down. And for scoring, we all know that KD and Harden can explode 40 points in again. So let's hope that this year, Irving and the rest will be healthy entering the playoffs.

If all of them are healthy for the whole season. They have what it takes to be at the playoffs and soon the finals.

Maybe this time it is going to be a different season and that's why we're wishing them to be healthy until the season ends.

We have good game today.

Dallas vs Portland.

This is the battle of great teams in the West, both are playing well in the their few games, especially Portland who beat the Pelicans twice in a row.
Portland at home and still underdog, what do you think guys, why they are underdog in this game?

Yes, it's surprising to see them as underdog against Dallas who went 1-1 in the last 2 games, while Portland 2-0, Lillard dropping 50 and 36 points respectively. They are rank 6 against Dallas in 8th.

I can only think of the reason why they are not the favourite is that Dallas beat a strong team last game, the Clippers. Not bad to stake some for Portland ML currently @2.x.

Portland played yesterday and Dallas got to rest. That's the likely reason behind the strange underdog odds. I think when they have their rematch of this game on Sunday things will probably look different. I wouldn't put it past Dame giving his team the edge, but most people might take the young well rested team against the back to back old guys.

Thanks @OgNasty for the information, however, I would still go with the Blazers as back to back seems not an issue in the NBA, unless they traveled while in this case, they played on the same court and for sure they have rested well before this actual game.

Nice suggestion, Portland is playing great and they have CJ back in the game already so I guess that's another big factor to consider. Dallas are complete also therefore we can expect that it will be a great game but if the game is turns out to be a close one, the +3 could be big enough to help a bettor win.

I guess I'll bet on the Dallas Mavericks to win this game. Both have an impressive record but Dallas have more rest here than the Blazers and I can see that it's the reason why they are the favorites even on the road. We will also see here the game of the potential MVP this season, Doncic vs Lillard, this is such a great match up.

For awhile we should also talk about how great the coaching staff of the Nets, Harden is not this good when he was still playing with the Rockets while Steve Nash just unleash his true potential so Harden has become a better version though he already played as an MVP caliber.

It's overall praise including them. No one gets left behind when a whole team is being praised. And when it's about the talks for the MVP, that's when fans are going to be divided with our thoughts. Tongue

It's just amazing to witness if Nets will win the NBA championship and Steve Nash will get his first award which is the coach of the year, that is gonna be a big achievement for him because he never experience a championship when he was still a player but getting a championship win as a coach and coach of the year, that is so fulfilling.

Hopefully that he'll be getting the ring for this year. Nash is determined and being part of the team, he's also contributed who shall be part of the roster and decided to choose those main players that we're seeing with him right now.
It's really fulfilling if the team gets the ring and he's also awarded as the coach of the year. He deserves it.

Nash even joined Kobe in the Lakers hoping they can win a championship but it's not really his fate but good thing he didn't give up in basketball and he became a head coach. IIRC, he will be like Steve Kerr that won the coach of the year during his first season as a head coach of the Warriors, the only difference is Steve Kerr won a championship when he was still a player of the Bulls.

That was one of the best teams ever that failed to do anything at all, Kobe literally injured himself trying to push that team to playoffs for a hope that everyone would be healthy, and he had to retire earlier than he hoped for with last 3 years being nothing. That team was Nash-Kobe-Artest-Gasol-Howard and that was great, everyone assumed they would win, sure they didn't had much bench 6th player with most minutes was steve blake and 7th was earl clark, but that starting five was amazing.

All the above, I think we could say that Nash deserved a ring for his career for sure, and he had 2 MVP titles as well which is not an easy task, I think he could have been much better if they were a bit more luckier, injuries did caused that team to keep losing, similar to lob city clippers. I think with this team he could actually get a ring.

LeBron vs LaMelo turned out to be a good game. The Lakers took home the W while LeBron out scored LaMelo 37 to 26. Both players had great games though. The rate at which LaMelo Ball is improving is scary. He looks like he’s going to be an all star very soon.

LaMelo is absolutely one of the rising stars we have to watch out. He plays safely and make sure that every play he will be making is a sure score. We rarely see him make a mistake and that is one good player. He still scored double digits despite playing against a team with great defenders and as long as he keeps his head down and hopes high, he will surely get the respect of everybody he is playing with and its a good thing that his dad is not meddling with the kids business anymore.

His dad could be just waiting for the right timing, lol.. .

LaMelo's dad said he would beat MJ in one on one game, fans will never forget that.

LaVar Ball Says He'd Beat Michael Jordan 1-on-1 with 1 Arm Tied Behind His Back

Hahaha, Lavar really is a different guy but now Jordan basically owns his son. Its also Lavar's upbringing on why LaMelo is a great player because of his experience with playing better players at a young age. Its also Lavar's fault on why LiAngelo is not on any teams at the moment but I hope that some teams would give him the chance despite his past.

Lavar should really try and stop interfering with his sons because its bad media for them and the kids dont want anymore flak from known players/past players.
