Mavs and Nets having a good exchange now. 64-68 Mavs lead at the half.

Nets lost.

Mavs won.

115-98

That's such a huge lead for the Mavs. Who among of you have bet for Mavs on this match, you've won.

No Durant and Irving and only Harden was to carry the team and it's not enough. Then we have Kristaps Porzingis coming back from injury to help Luca with 18 points. And it seems that Nets are really tired after that amazing run they have, 8 game winning streak. Nash told that Irving's injury is not that serious and expects him to be back next game.

Nothing to reason out, Nets winning streak already been break after this lost.

Without KD and Kyrie against the team who really in need of winning, the determination is far better and yes, Luka find he's big bro
inside the court and now contributing, coming from that injury Porzingis needs to show back strong, he didn't disappoint the fans and with the rest of the team play well they've got the win with a good edge.

The game is different if Irving is on the court since imagine how big the contribution he can brought up if he is playing but the little injury hit him and I'm sure those lose is not a big deal to them as they can win back the next game when Irving is on the rooster again. Nash expect kyrie to be in their line up next game so provably they will bounce back after that defeat.

Porzingis performance today is so impressive after coming back from recent injury and hope Mavs will not trade him since they are good fit with Luka in their line up.

Now that's what you called "teammates". I thought it was really Sabonis been offered for the replacement but I was in awe when I found out what Butler really did, well, just been curious with the news I've seen around Facebook and it was indeed true. Check the link above.

Well, I confess, was an interesting game, Mavs knew the advantage he had because the Nets were without Durant and Irving, Dallas took advantage of that, despite, the Mavericks players played well, and guided to win.

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

Most likely Giannis will create trouble for his team in the playoffs as his performance is not good in the playoffs compared to the regular season. Last time they exit in the 2nd round I guess, I don't know this time, maybe 1st round? Sorry but I don't trust Giannis anymore, he can't carry his team in the playoffs, period.

I wouldn't say that he had a bad performance in the previous playoffs because he scored an average of 25 points per game, and his team played in the conference final in the 18/19 season. Also, we should consider that he was unlucky in the last playoffs because he got an injury in the fourth game against the Heat.

Most likely because the other players have now successfully know how to counter his euro step. This season his shooting low percentage shots in the 3 point line which not good for them. No wonder they can't get through the playoffs and can't head to the NBA finals last two seasons. Now they need to change tactics in order for them to get through it if ever they will have a chance to compete in the NBA playoffs. It should be not a one-man team, they should work together as a team to get to the NBA finals.

He have been exposed with his Euro step already, defenders know how to counter him. Yes, he did try to improved by shooting a lot of 3's this season, but it wasn't as effective as before. I don't know but I'm not seeing the same fire before on Giannis, he seems to be contented with passing the ball to his team mates instead of taking over.

I have a bad feeling after this season or after 1 season he would likely ask for a trade, Gsw for example have express that they want another star player, and draymond showing signs that he would like Gianis in the rooster, having not to be in the finals is so frustrating I know he wants to have a ring before he retires, and GSW can give that to him since they have what it takes , just by adding him, just my opinion but he is showing that expression

But it's the East so he can still dominate in that conference unlike how difficult it is at the West.
Giannis can provide but Bucks is still a team. He needs help from every roleplayer to achieve their goal.
Just like how it is when Lakers got a championship. It's not all Lebron who carried the team.
AD was there and Howard also stepped up against a strong Nuggets and Miami to take the championship.

The thing is they are also different in the regular season, they are only in the number 3 in terms of standing in the East, but they were in the top in the previous seasons, so hopefully it's the opposite in the playoffs.

I understand where this is coming, maybe the expectation was too high for him as every time he tries to win in the playoffs, he always fall short.
Being an MVP, you can expect that people are expecting him to play better in the most special situation in boxing, but expectation does not happen.

From 10th to 5th(apparently the same position before becoming the champions of the East)... Team Heat got their 5th streak on the win yesterday.
Butler was 2 assist away from another triple double. Great gameplay from Erik's drawboard.

One more win and they'll be having a tie with the standings of Raptors. They've moved from the standings quickly and if they will keep on playing consistently, they might be one of the next favorite teams of most fans. Tomorrow they'll be having another match.
It's Hawks versus Heat.

Being number two doesn't really mean anything that bad, if you are number one and the number two has a chance to go to finals that means one and two will face on conference finals, if you are first that means you will face the second and if you are second you will face the first, that is why it doesn't really matter if you think both sixers and nets will be fighting in conference finals, how they get there will not matter at that point.

Plus sixers is not the only one that should fear Nets, we still have Bucks and they are a great team with one of the best players in the league as well, Giannis will create trouble for any player in any team, so it looks like we are going to have to see teams fighting it out on East, do not remember last time when East was this powerful, Celtics and Miami looks great too as well, there are so many great teams on east now, after Lebron left whole conference became such a powerhouse.

Most team turn on the gas when playoffs time, I think lebron already knew that they just have to secure the playoffs spot , because its in the playoffs that matters, your right when davis returns it will be a different team, I like how they are planning for the playoffs, its no use to play Davis in the regular season now, reserving him for the playoffs is the best move.

Okay, lets say that they do have that kind of strategy but it would it be better if Davis would be playing rather than on having that kind of plan?
Nothing beats out when you do able to play the entire season rather than on having some break just because of that reserved just for the playoffs.
I doubt that they wouldnt be able to hit up the ranks if they do continue to lose more but well its really true that it doesnt matter if they are on the
top or not but rather just on getting in with the playoffs.

It is well known strategy that a lot of experienced team utilize. Like Greg Popovic that used to rest Manu, Duncan and Tony Parker right before playoffs starts. SAS were regular in playoff contentions and almost always make it to the Conference finals. Similarly, A lot of players just turn on the gas and implement new team strats in playoffs. Like how Bucks dominated the regular season but when it came to playoffs, they fizzed out because good teams knew what they had to do to stop them. Just didn't want to implement that before playoffs. Since it took too much effort out in a regular season game. LeBron James in playoffs is a different beast. Curry, Durant, Butler, Lillard do not play their 100% in regular games unless absolutely necessary. Just to make sure they do not get injured and that even shows when it comes to star players minutes in game. LeBron would play 43 mins in a crucial Playoff game but would play on average 34 mins in regular season.

It's obvious by now, the Lakers are weak and they have been exposed big time. Lebron is not getting any younger although he can still play like it used to be, sooner or later that wear and tear will come into the picture. So no rest for him, means more trouble for the Lakers until Davis play.

It's true that Davis being injured means more play time for Lebron, but looking at the current minutes played per game, on average he is spenging approximately court than the previous season, and with every passing year he keeps lowering the minutes, which is logical since he is not getting any younger. This season average is 34.8, last season 34.6, so not a significant increase.

Quote from: TravelMug on February 26, 2021, 07:03:41 PM

I think they can still make the playoffs, but they are going to drop in the standing and will not be the favourite to win back-to-back.

There is no question whether Lakers make the playoff, but from which sport they will start the playoff. I don't really think that they can go below 3rd position as Suns are kinda overachiving at the moment. All this can change though is Gof forbid LeBron gets injured. But as long as they are healthy when playoff starts, it's pretty much all same for them, no matter the spot.

lakers are in trouble this year they are heavily relaying on LeBron, playing him in every minute possible because Davis is currently out injured for at least four weeks. Now they cant rest LeBron for the playoffs.
and if they rest him the Lakers would drop down in the standings quick. They’ll prob rest him for a game here and there but they need him now more now than ever they risk not reaching Playoffs rather then just rest him for good.

It's obvious by now, the Lakers are weak and they have been exposed big time. Lebron is not getting any younger although he can still play like it used to be, sooner or later that wear and tear will come into the picture. So no rest for him, means more trouble for the Lakers until Davis play.

I think they can still make the playoffs, but they are going to drop in the standing and will not be the favourite to win back-to-back.

This is the mid season lul, when AD gets back and Lebron turns it up a notch like he always does people will start singing a different tune. Lebron always does this mid season, and people talk about him not being able to "hack it". I'm far from a laker fan (knick fan here) but this is how lebron roles. He is in mid season cruise control right now.

He's been in the league for many years and I also observed the same, even in his team before, his team does not necessarily finish as the number 1 overall best team in the league but in the playoffs they are dominating, so we will probably the same scenario this coming playoffs but I believe without Davis things are also different from our expectation.

Most team turn on the gas when playoffs time, I think lebron already knew that they just have to secure the playoffs spot , because its in the playoffs that matters, your right when davis returns it will be a different team, I like how they are planning for the playoffs, its no use to play Davis in the regular season now, reserving him for the playoffs is the best move.

If I was Frank Vogel shoe, I would make some changes do it slows down the pace down to let LeBron rest that way he wouldnt burn and have something to show off in the playoffs.
The Lakers are going to have to win games with the defense. Caruso, Gasol , Morris, Cadwell Matthews and Morris need to hold down on the defensive side while all of Schroder, Kuzma and Harrel will need to help LeBron on the offensive end. But it will be more likely to waite and secure the qualification first then rest LeRon for a couple games to recover
