Orlando had a nice start in the first quarter and looked like it was going to be a challenge for the Nets but, since the start of the 2nd quarter, Harden and Irving just switched it on and they are blowing past the Magic. the first quarter ended with Magic having 4 point lead but the 2nd quarter ended with the Nets having a whopping 18 points lead. Nets scored 41 points in the 2nd quarter alone while the Magic got 19. Looks game over to me.

Yeah, that might be it.
Nets are already securing their win by putting more points on the scoreboard.
Harden and Irving combined are just too much. Grin

Then, there is Joe Harris that will make it an overkill.
20 points away will not be easy to come back especially when it is Brooklyn you are playing with.

I also think the same but not that it will last throughout the season since chemistry can form along the way and while in progress, there are some adjustments made like Irving consider Harden as a point guard, Durant advising Harden that it's just a new curriculum (since Harden isn't used to being traded) and many more.

I just hope that all teams have a fully healthy lineup once they reached the playoff's contention so no reason at all when being eliminated.

More like they're grinding to that chemistry well enough but here's the catch, they're 5-5 when Durant is playing while 7-3 when not do you think the team chemistry get scrambled while Durant is playing? Somehow the positions aren't good when much of the time there three players on the floor act like they're the captains, you know these 3 can handle the ball well.

Same here, but still have some doubt's it's early to assume we might notice it playoffs or west finals, or maybe they have figured it out to co-exist as a team and forget their ego, and just play the game with great teamwork, if they can play the game like they were doing, maybe they will be in the finals, but still bother they are losing to a lower bracket team, and not a bit consistent they should score like 20 points consistently each for a couple of games, hope they were also healthy like what you said to watch a good game every time for us viewers.

I agree with you on that Nets are doing an amazing thing now. They manage to defeat their opponents even if one or two of KD-Harden-Irving trio doesn't play in the game. This shows clearly that they have a great chemistry.

Early I thought that the Nets would have some problems throughout the season with team chemistry and sharing the ball on the court after Harden's trade, but it looks like Nash found the right way to manage this big trio.

They look unstoppable at the moment offensively. I can't believe Harden got so comfortable quickly being the playmaker and adjusted to Kyrie's playstyle. Joe Harris and other role players have keyed in and stepped up during their 7 game win streak. Also credit to Nash, he must have atleast found the right mix of plays to allow their offense to run smoothly. They still have amazing isolation scorers, but when you watch them closely, the others aren't just ball watching like what Harden had in Houston. Instead they still move the ball somehow and have two amazing closers in crunch time. Can't wait until KD comes back.

The success was more on Harden and Irving because Durant is sitting, we can only say that the TRIO have an an effective chemistry once Durant come back and they'll continue winning consistently as what they are doing. AFAIK, they are the team with the longest win streak now.

Yes they are in a win streak now, currently at 7 and Durant is still out in this game per the news.

They have down winning even without KD, I think they will continue rolling tonight, it's their 2nd game at home after a long road trip which they then won all the games.

The Lakers played as bad tonight as I’ve seen. They are being exposed badly for their lack of size. They need to pick up Cousins, Whiteside, Drummond, or Howard if they want to make it past the first round of the playoffs. I still have no idea what they were thinking when they decided to overpay for Harrell instead of get a steal on Howard. I blame Rich Paul.

Drummond will be a big addition if they ever acquire them. It was really a mistake to get Harrell and Gasol to replace McGree and Howard.

Harrell was really playing above average when he was in the Clippers uniform, but with the Lakers he was exposed as undersized when AD got injured. As for Gasol, I will say that he is not a perfect fit for a running game like the Lakers. He is used to set up picks when he was in Toronto but with the Lakers it was different role for him that he wasn't adjusting.

Ya, I really think someone should be fired for thinking Gasol's over the hill ass along with Harrell's underachieving ass could possibly fill the roll of 2 of the most athletic big men in the NBA. Then they were talking about getting Pau to join Marc... They need to waive Harrell & Gasol and try like hell to get Howard, Drummond, Cousins, or even McGee. They will not win another NBA championship with the front line they have now. They'd better work some magic before the trade deadline.

The Lakers could also get Hassan Whiteside. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/nba/news/hassan-whiteside-a-possible-target-for-lakers-as-a-demarcus-cousins-reunion-is-unlikely-per-report/amp/
I don't think Cousins could be different than Marc.
The Lakers really need to find a legitimate big man who could help Davis in the paint. There won't be any repeat for the Lakers this year If they stick with this current roster.

They are doing well with the current roster at the start, the problem only occur when Davis was injured. Lakers is not done yet because Davis will soon come back and they'll start winning consistently again, the faith of the Lakers now relies heavily on the health of Anthony Davis, just frankly speaking.

Their game tomorrow may not lead them straight to the number 1 standing because the 76ers are up against Mavericks.

No doubt it will be a win for the Nets.

~snip~

I agree. Nets have a superb form right now. They have won 7 times in a row and they are in a great shape. On the other hand, Orlando are one of the worst teams of their conference despite winning three times in their last five games. Nets will increase their winning streak to 8 games.

Stats wise Nets have a better chance than Magic.

But don't forget that there are some incident where heavy favorite loss the game, especially that we are still in the elimination round, there's also some off night from the players. We can assume that Nets can take this win again if they also play as solid like those previous games even without KD. Best of luck!

Nets 21-12
Magic 13-19

Then you can really tell the difference in numbers and there no doubt that Nets could pull this off.I wont say that it would be easy though but they shouldnt
really be that getting too confident to play with low tier team and as said that even heavily favorite could be defeated.Neverthless,
its not good to underestimate Cool

but still Nets all the way.

It is the 76ers which will have a difficult time to snatch the game against the Mavericks.

It was all thanks to Harden for changing his style of playing.
Less dribbling, more shooting and making good plays that rewards him with assists.
He could easily make a triple double now and even without Kyrie before he could still manage to lift the Nets.

I am a Warrior fan but don't get me wrong because I am seeing Brooklyn Nets is doing great right now and may top the standings if the 76ers may lose one game if you would look at the Nets winning pattern now they are winning consistently and winning 7 consecutive games right now and if they would win against Magic tomorrow that would be 8, I know this is not a big deal because there are teams that are doing this kind of things like the Golden State back then, but I think that the team is now playing in sync right now in my opinion,

This shows clearly that they have a great chemistry. They could even finish the Eastern Conference as the leader. But the main question is whether they will keep up the good work in the playoffs also. But in my opinion, they have the power to make it to the finals and even become the champions.

How about the All Star snub of Devin Booker. I thought he deserved to be in. Phoenix still isn't getting any respect around the league, but they're beginning to earn it. I suspect a playoff run this year will change things.

Hell yeah! Why is everyone not talking about Devin Booker, this guy deserve an all star slot, Phoenix has transformed from a shitty team to a serious NBA championship contender although that was when Chris Paul entered the team but still it would not be possible without Booker.

I'm sure if they'll have a good run in the playoffs, by next year fans would already vote for him.
Honestly, I'm excited to see what they can do in the playoffs, as long as Chris Paul is healthy, I know they would pass the first round.

Devin Booker is really one of the most disrespected NBA player currently playing because most people are still not recognizing him as someone who can carry a team. Even though we saw what he did last season in the playoff bubble, you really have to admit Booker is All-Star worthy but now that Anthony Davis is only benched in the All-Star game, he will be replaced by Booker. Im really hoping for a good All-Star game.

Good thing Davis does not miss the entire season, he will be back soon and hopefully Lakers will still stay at the playoff spot.

He will not miss much. After all star if there will be postponed games played it will take a week or two that will bring us to second half of March and he will be close to returning to the game. They cant lose playoff spot. If they plan to win the championship then it does not matter if you start from 8th rank or 1st.

Lakers has the ability to win, even though they'll be in the number 8 spot but Davis is healthy, I think they will still be the favorites to win the first round as they are the defending champ. If it's Lakers vs Clippers, I think I would go with the Clippers, but if it's Lakers vs Jazz, I'll go with the Lakers.
