Harden put up a crazy 30 14 & 15 tonight in their overtime win. Most impressive is that he didn’t have a single turnover. The entire team only had 5. That’s a pretty encouraging sign that they’re getting their offense together. Especially given the extra playtime and closeness of the game.

Impressive as well is Bruce Brown, scoring 23 points. But it was a hard fought match, need OT to settle against a depleted Spurs. Very sluggish start from Spurs but they close the 4th with a 10 run.

I do agree that Harden has settled down with the Nets and helping the team to the second spot in the East. They have a good 8 winning streak already, and now they are on the road to make a new one.

While I think the Golden State Warriors need someone to set a good offense and defense and I think they are marking Jeremy Lin to come back again in the team but Lin is cut short in signing into GSW because he needs a letter of clearance from his team in the Chinese Basketball Association, which didn't make it the deadline but I think in the next season the Linsanity fever will come back again, and while waiting for an NBA comeback, Lin is playing in G League's Santa Cruz Warriors right now.
I love to see Jerimy Lin back again in NBA. He is really eager with his goal to play again in NBA, if he will be given a good playing time, I think he can contribute with the team, particularly in the offense as that is where he is good at.

The Linsanity fever was a short lived, Melo ruined it and later Knicks traded him because they did not see anymore their expectation from Melo.
After that, Melo was not anymore playing like his old self until he has given another chance with the Blazers.

I really love to see him back as well and to help GSW to be a great team again because Jeremy Lin is a good team player and  I think he will be fit to the GSW again and if it doesn't for that injury he had back then I think he will still continue in playing for the Golden State Warriors and that Linsanity outbreak was short-lived because of the selfishness of Carmelo Anthony that only wants to hog the spotlight to himself because if you want to win champions you will need to sacrifice once play style and get it done with the once that fits on the team.

Schroder did not have his feet planted on the ground and was in motion, Curry threw himself against him (it was clear), and it was still a bad flop.
Nowadays it is normal for players to flop to win free throws. And some players even deserve to win the award for best actor lol

Actually, it's not about the possible flop but there's an extended elbow of Steph Curry that hits Schroder's face and that's why he is pissed off.

Flop is now a part of the NBA's today culture but since there's physical contact, it's a different story. It's an accident of course but Schroder got the foul.

Watching the  replay and yes it's an extend elbow that land in his face.

The very reason why he's pissed since instead of getting that call it turned to Curry's favor. For sure Steph feel that and trying not to admit and keep pushing Schroder to lose his temper. It's a natural way from the players to keep trying to piss other player to take unnecessarry action, though Steph didn't succeed as the Lakers camp move Schroder away to cool him down.

That's was an unexpected turn of the event but you need to know NBA is so much unpredictable when it comes to their games and sometimes those underrated players have the ability to turn the table especially when they're given a chance to play some more minutes and this happened earlier with the New Orlean Pelicans vs Utah Jazz. Some key players help their star players to beat the current best team in the league. truly that was amazing, especially when competing with the current number one team in the NBA.

I remember when I saw Sabonis, Adams and Kanter playing together in OKC in mid 2016/2017 (i guess), and several people said they would both have a promising future in the NBA ... yeah, how time flies!

Wow I'm impressed, are you a fan of the OKC or Sabonis?
Honestly I can't remember anymore that he played with OKC but I do remember Adams and Kanter playing on the same team.

All I know is that Sabonis started with the Pacers and slowly developed to become an all star.

Yes, he played for a while at OKC. But I think he had more contrast when he played for Pacers.
True, little by little he was improving his game and he is at the level he is today.

Yeah, now that I saw the elbow in detail, I think it wasn’t on purpose, it’s a game thing.
Depending on the referee, he would have missed an attack, but it was not a flagrant foul

mostly if its just a small part or not too much contact star players mostly get away with it, this are some of the advantage of this players and also contacts with them are often called, even if its not that hard, on the other hand, if they eritates the refs they will get a lot of calls against them, I find these new refs so sensitive.

Sabonis was enhanced more in the Pacers. He was part of the starters and he played with more minutes which he didn't get in his OKC days. He maybe the next face of the Pacers and he deserved an All-Star spot.

Same with you, I'm not aware too that he is a former OKC and played at the same time with Steven Adams and Enes Kanter, and with Russell Westbrook.

Look, if that wasn't an offensive foul, the judge could have appplied nothing.

By the way, I was happy that Domantas Sabonis was chosen for the All Star, in my opinion it was deserved, each passing day, he is improving his game
Based on what I've read.

He's going to play and replace Durant who's been injured. Congratulations to him, very good guy.

3rd time for the all-star right?
Yes, you're right!
I am happy that he is having this other opportunity to show his work.
I think that over the years he will improve his skills even more.

Having a legendary basketball player for a father definitely gave him some opportunities, but he’s risen to the challenge and proven himself an above average NBA player. I think he benefits a little from being on a weak team that gives him more chances to gain stats, but he’d be a welcome addition to any NBA team.
Yes, @OgNasty well minded, Arvydas Sabonis was an excellent player for the Blazzers.

Most probably,  Pacers has not been playing good this season, they are already out in the playoff standing and I'm a bit surprise since they are suppose to be at least in the top 6 but now they slide down to top 9 and already in 3 losing streak. Anyway, I can't complain, good for him and hopefully he will show up more in the All star, bring the East to win.

It was clearly and offensive foul and looks intentional for me, Curry might be offset that they are down big, but good thing Schroder remains professional and able to control his emotion so he did not get any technical or flagrant foul if he give Curry a shot too.

But people should move on with that. It's an action that players mostly do for a chance of getting a foul by their defender. If the league doesn't want to see most of this, then they should lecture their refs to become more vigilant at this type of plays.

When he gets it going, it is almost impossible to stop him. The only strat you can possibly run is to cover the whole paint and box him out, leave him to take jumpshot.

It's not the case on that game. The Clippers can stop Giannis. The game was close in the entire 4Q until the buzzer sounds.

The problem is, several clutch shots where it most needed were missed by LAC'S Paul George and Kawhi Leonard. Milwaukee Bucks were able to maintain the slight lead and snatch a win at the end.

as you can see Stephen Curry has done only a little thing at the 3 point line today.
They're already aware on what he's capable off and does have experience on past seasons where boxing him out will be the key
on stopping their offense on bigger scale knowing those 3's are really dangerous if they do let Curry open.

Good thing that coach Kerr made this statement giving some light to all the fans,
might need some rest but the good thing is the injury is not that bad to bench him for the entire season.
Thats indeed a sure thing because Draymond does really have a big role to be handled, not only on defense but also with ball rotation and penetrating the paint.
Losing him the entire season could really fucked them up once again.

The Linsanity fever was a short lived,

There will be no Linsanity again. Those days are over. Jeremy Lin underperformed after those days. He was never seen being a good contributor from there. And there are issues we don't know. He is healthy during the Raptors championship season but never been used for several minutes overall.

As a veteran, I think it's better to play on his native country (he is a US citizen but I'm talking about China) until he retires. He was special there compare to NBA. At least he has an NBA championship ring although he's not happy with it because he was on the bench most of the time.

I believe Lin definitely got the short end of the stick because of Melo because Melo couldn't handle sharing the light at that time (for the past few years he has been begging for a few minutes per game and teams didn't even gave him that until blazers).

However we are in a situation where Lin is not that much wanted neither and he had to leave for China, not like he moved away from New York and became a superstar and just ruled over NBA after that, he played a bit and got injured a lot and eventually he was not even signed by any team in the league, you do not see any decent player to be not signed, even "worst player in nba" is in nba right now, which is why I believe him not being in the league is clear proof that he is not really going to help any team at all, he could be decent but he is not going to change anything that much hence I believe people are overreacting to his return.
