I hope he will not blame Kuzma for the last shot, lol.. Lebron sometimes makes bad decision especially on crucial times, that's why although he is getting good stats but he is not one of the clutch NBA players that I admire.

That won't be necessary. Grin

Kuzma just got the offensive rebound and tried for a last shot.
Lebron can do impossible shots but at that moment he needs to be the facilitator to get a better percentage to shoot the ball.
And of all the players, it's KCP who can make it.

Knicks fan first time watching in MSG.
I think the Knicks players are also being boosted by it. 4 point lead halftime against Warriors.

Looks like Dallas is trying (and denying) to trade Porzingis to the Warriors. I don’t blame them for contacting Golden State. They’re the only team that could use the spacing and veteran big man. I don’t think it’ll happen though. 150 million dollars and a five year commitment to an injury prone player doesn’t seem like something the Warriors would do, especially after all their injuries lately. Even if Porzingis is a “unicorn.”

Kuzma and LBJ were missing their shots in the 4th quarter which lead them to lose this game and they could get the win since they force overtime. Those free throws in the 4th quarter were really crucial for both teams but they missed it and lead them for OT. Finally, the Wizards took control of the game and managed to win this one.

That's their 5th winning streak and they're doing good so far.

Lakers do really look bad when AD isnt really on the court.We arent saying that they are bad but those gameplays do really sucks.They really missed out lots of crucial shots
which can possibly for them to win up the game.

They do need to adjust but well, everybody could really have a bad night but losing in a row isnt really appealing to look at for Lakers.If they would continue
like this then they would really be on that verge dropping to even low rank.

If Davis was there, he can always take the last shot as I remember he did during the playoffs and Lakers gets a win, I think that was a 3 point shot from him. That's the good thing with Davis as he can also shoot the 3 point, not only a threat inside but on the outside as well.

Honestly Lebron is not the type of guy that will be mad about a play, Green missed a very important last second shot last year in the finals yet he was still not mad about it and defended the guy as well, he never blames anyone for trying and failing, he only gets angry if you do not even try, this dude was the teammate of JR Smith so you can be certain that he wouldn't be mad at Kuzma.

Yeah, I remember all of those crucial moments but we will never know what happened in the locker. But with his attitude towards the game, we'll never know how he has reacted off screen or during the meeting of their team. But being a professional, I guess you're right.

I hope so but there's still professionalism, he understands how important the chemistry and relationship of him to his to teammates so maybe, he won't.

Are rumours that Ian Begley a reporter covering the Knicks started about Mavericks talking to Wizzards about Porzingis trade real or that is just Knicks thing to do?

https://sny.tv/articles/gauging-trade-value-of-former-knick-kristaps-porzingis-mavericks-have-reached-out-to-warriors

Cuban said no. But that is what he should say in any case.

However this whole week proved to the world that unless AD plays, Lakers is basically a very mediocre team at best, sure they would probably beat Wizards 8 out of 10 times and this was a fluke even without AD, but I have to say Lakers are nowhere near finals level without AD, but obviously all teams are horrible without their superstar yet AD is very injury prone. If AD misses the playoffs with an injury, Lakers are not becoming champions 100% guaranteed, not even Lebron can save them.

Lebron missed the FT that could have give them a win, damn, Lebron choked on that one, I can feel it, hehe. Also, in the OT, his shot was too strong, it doesn't even have a good line, he should have given that ball to a more reliable 3 point shooter, I don't know why he made that bad shot.

Very bad decision.
He knows he was doubled. He shouldn't forced that. A playmaker does things better and he had the experience to see what's the best option out there even without a timeout.
A lot of time left in the clock and Kuzma even had one more shot after an offensive rebound.
I am thinking of one thing on why he did that. The Caruso miss last time.
Maybe he don't want that to happen again and so he put the decision to his own hands.

That's their 5th winning streak and they're doing good so far.

The current Laker roster looks awful without AD and Schröder.
I don't blame LeBron for not making the clutch free throw, but I blame them as a team for lacking defense like they usually do when they're healthy.
Quinn Cook has been waived, and there are 2 open spots from the Laker roster. I'm hoping they'll get a legit big man, Gasol doesn't seem to be helping the Laker anymore.

They should really get a good big man just like last year, with McGree and Howard giving them quality minutes and you can see that there is chemistry between those big man. They just down grade when they get Gasol which seems to be out of his form with the Lakers team. And without AD, it will be tough for James to just lead the team every night and win.

I guess Harden really is the main reason why this team has been so consistent now.

I understand how you were so impressed with Harden's performance, but we can't just say that it's all Harden, before Harden was inserted to the line up, Nets are already playing well with Durant and Irving, he just added to the fire, but it's all team's effort, including their new coach Steve Nash.

Besides Harden putting up incredible numbers on great efficiency since joining the team, the entire offense changed a great deal. Before they were relying on isolation plays almost every time up the floor. That's why Kyrie was quick to say Harden is the point guard. It was obvious from the first game that Harden would be the controller of the tempo. Kyrie in my opinion isn't a leader and Harden brings another leader to join KD, which I think they needed. Kyrie is the third fiddle on that team for sure.

This is the first time I saw Kyrie is happy with this team, I love him when he believe on his teammate and play what the coaching designed him to play. I knew it, if they only have a good chemistry this team will be unbeatable, even better than the Lakers and we've already seen the result now.

Who knows how long he'll be able to stand that before causing trouble.

Hopefully these 3 will stay longer in this team, and they'll be champion this season.

I do indeed hate Flopping too and that one made by Harden was pretty obvious.In previous days, this issue pointed out on Lebron and now with Harden.
It do really give out some lost of respect kind of vibe everytime i do saw on what player had done and the decisions had been made.

I have said before that since James Harden's flops work most of the time, we will see it always.

But why such a thing is effective? It's because of the wrong officiating. Flops won't work if the referees themselves have a strict approach to that. Not just in flops, but there are lots of games today wherein refs ruined the game.

Anyone who has watched the game or even the highlights can easily see that Kawhi did not foul Harden, not even close, not even remotely explainable, and you know what's worse? They actually reviewed it, because it was challenged, and they still stick with the call instead of changing it because changing it would mean that they made a bad decision to begin with and they can't accept that so almost all obvious calls that gets challenged usually stays the same.

IIRC, they didn't review it.
Clippers is out of challenge at that moment but that's under 2 minutes so it can be reviewed but refuse to.
I think it was the view of the referee that made it a wrong decision.
He's view was at the back of Harden and didn't see the arm clinging to Kawhi which is why he tried to take it off with a little push.
That's a reaction of someone being grabbed while going to the rim.

This happens a lot unlike before. i.e. 80's and 90's
I guess we will just have to live with that and maybe they could find a new rule to go against it.
Some suggest to give one more challenge in case the first one was successful.

James Harden back to his old self with not just scoring but drawing fouls. Nets look unstoppable and can only imagine how good the team will be with all of the Big 3 in form. Shouldn't be long that we see Durant back in action. I have no doubts that Brooklyn Nets will top the eastern conference. I'd like to see the odds that sportsbooks provide for it. Could be an interesting prop bet.

With the new form big 3 from the east.

It's very possible that they'll be able to dominate and bring this franchise to the top. They are just one loss away from Philly. If they continue playing as a team, then KD comesback much healthier. The very chance to see them in the finals is really exciting, either
Lakers or Clippers they are capable to compete, too far for that though, let see how they'll continue this winning streak.

They haven't put KD in the court yet since they winning the game continuously without him. Damn, Brooklyn has some sort of outstanding players in the court and they were really lucky when they acquired James Harden from the Houston Rockets. there's no doubt that they are the ones who won the trade. The guy is so good with Kyrie Irving and Yes, if KD goes back to play, they will become unstoppable again but they need to fully rest him so that there will be no problem in the future.
