Hmmm, I am grateful for this information, guys! Thanks
I also hope that AD will return soon, because he is an important player for the Lakers.

I still say that, it is important that he comes back 100% recovered (even if it takes a while), as it is dangerous for him to return to the games sooner and being 80% or 70% recovered, as this may cause another injury

Nets 112 - 108 LA.Clippers
It was a really tight game where the Nets couple (Kyrie Irving and James Harden) did a perfect teamplay and we could even say that they didn't miss to much to Kevin Durant for that game. KD missed his fourth-straight game with a strained left hamstring and they worried about he could be not able for the next Nets games. Just a reminder that KD is averaging 29 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists and they are top number and stats for a team like the Nets. Let's congratule the team since it is an important loss in my honest opinion and they are winning the latest games.
KD will not feel the pressure because his team is winning without him, Nets are on a win streak, per standing in the East, they are already in the 2nd spot with 6 win streak, and I guess that win streak was without Durant, correct me if I'm wrong.

Therefore, Durant does not see the urgency to play here, he can cheer for his team while he will continue to rest so he can get back 100%.

I know Durant would always love to play but he is currently not 100% due to some minor injury, don't worry, we will see him back in the court soon but I hope that the chemistry will still stay and they'll continue winning. Irving seems to have adjusted well in the line up, he is here to win and help his teammates by sharing the ball well, and Harden as well is so smart, he is very unstoppable and he knows how to get his teammates involve.

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

You are right into that sentiment on how NBA did really turn out after all these years.Even though we want for those ref's to be replaced butt the association/management would really be always have the final call.

For us fans or supporters cant do anything but to deal with it, even if its obvious on how things becomes soft and doesnt really look right then making complaints wont change a thing.



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.

Nets vs Clippers game is exactly what's wrong with NBA right now, they are so soft on players, everything is a foul, there is also no defense anymore and everyone just chucks threes. I am not an old timer who hates the game and wants the old game back or something like that, but when referees decide on the game result that is something wrong.

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.

I am sick of it, we need all these refs, and not just one or two, all of them to be fired together as a union, and a new NCAA or something else, or even foreign if you freaking have to, to be called all together because this can't go on like this, NBA views dropped significantly like crazy as well all because game is getting to a referee game very quickly.

Clipper vs Brooklyn Nets. I think we have some good game today, what team do you guys think will win?

I Like the Brooklyn Nets, they are having a good run now even without Durant, I guess they'll continue winning?
Clippers stopped Jazz win streak, are they gonna stop the Nets win streak tonight too?
I love to hear your thoughts on the game.

Honestly Clippers are getting a lot of points from the odds makers so I think there is more to this game than we know.  At first glance I'd say the nets should at least play this tight, they are playing really good right now.  Even with Durant out if kyrie and harden are playing I dont see why they should be getting 6.5 points.  In my eyes maybe 2.5 but now watch the clips win by 20 lol.

I was not able to reply right away but I put my money on the Nets and I won. I'm glad that I'm on the other side and this game was really close, so even if Clippers won that game, I'm sure Nets will cover, it's just bad that I don't put a bet on ML, that would have been huge.

Nets have a sloppy start, but slowly they take over in the fourth quarter, there is no way Batum can handle Kevin, I would have put Leonard to Kevin in the fourth quarter, but it's also too much for the clippers Kyrie hits three-pointers in the last four minutes George nowhere to be found on defense, great start for the clippers they just can't seal it in the end.
Tyronne Lue sat him down.
I don't know what he is thinking or if there is something bad Paul George is feeling.
He is just standing on the sidelines but they won't let him in.
There must be a deep reason behind it.
They need a shooter at the last second of the game and they refuse to put him in.
Jeff Van Gundy (commentator) also doesn't have a clue why. PG13 could've made that shot instead of forcing it to Kawhi.
PG has just recently got back from injury, probably PG was feeling something so he was pulled out in the game, otherwise, Ty Lue was too stupid to not play his one of the best players in the team, and the management would question his decision.

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.
Exactly, they will be better if Durant will return, but that flop was not really good to see from an NBA star, people hate that for sure.
Nets beat the Clippers and the Lakers, these are the teams that are favorites to enter in the NBA Finals, so I guess we will have a great NBA finals this season.

Harden should be nominated in Oscars for best actor, he clearly flop on the drive of Leonard, that's suppose to be a foul by him and +1 and in that position Clippers had a chance to win the ball game. Damn, I lost my respect on Harden, what a flopper? Lebron James Flop, James Harden Flop, Damn.

I was also surprised to see that it was an offensive foul on Leonard, Kawhi just own his body enough, but it couldn't be call an offensive foul in my opinion, and I agree that it was a flop on the side of James Harden.

Clippers could have won this game if not for the "best actor" Harden. And obviously Kawhi and the Clippers are not happy with that call.

Unfortunately clippers ran out of coaches challenge that time, they can't review the foul and it was already ruled as an offensive foul. We see how angry Leonard was, that was suppose to be a game winner for him if Harden was called of a foul in that play, damn, Harden adding weight but he was easily thrown out in that play? unbelievable.

They should have not hesitated to shoot the three when they have the chance in the last seconds of the game instead of going to the rim to catch that offensive foul. The game was so tense when the Clippers manage to tie the game in the last minute and too bad they didn't convert it to win the game because of the poor decision of Leonard. If he kills the time and somehow shoots the three behind the ark, they could have won it but man, that's just the way it is. At the end of the day, no matter how good both teams competing with each other, there should always be only one winner.

That's what happened because they rely too much on Lebron, well, that's the Lakers brand, Lebron alone can't make this team succeed. Lebron almost hit a triple double, but that was his normal, what is not normal here is he only hit 1 from 8 attempts in 3 points and he has 5 turnovers.
That's true and you can see it with every play they make.
Unlike their roster last year, they are full of life with Howard and McGee on the bench.
Their contribution though was fruitful when they fought against the Nuggets giving Jokic a hard time below the rim.

Speaking of Nuggets, they lose against the Hawks today.
Another good performance from Trae Young and now achieved his 51th 30+ points of his career. Amazing.

Not good for them, last bubble lineup is really deep.

unlike now where if you put AD or LeBron out you'll see the struggle, back in the bubble where big men and with Rondo and Green
they'll able to bring something even this two superstars are resting, Lakers needs to push it and find this replacement to work for
the team and not just watch LeBron taking everything in his shoulder.

Lonzo Ball has been playing like a man possessed since the trade rumors about him started heating up. I think it would be a shame for the Pelicans to let him go. I think him and Zion could do big things, so it’s weird they’re pursuing a future with guys like Ingram and Bledsoe. Almost seems like they’re expecting Zion not to sign an extension from his rookie contract to test free agency, which he should.

Hello guys,
Could anyone tell me about the injury Anthony Davis suffered in his calf this past week? Will he really be away for 4 weeks? Or will he be able to return to the games sooner? Is he having a good recovery?

It seems he will indeed be gone for 4 weeks or even more. Achilles injury is tricky and I expected them to not rush AD to get back in the court. It's also a good thing Lakers are number 3 in the West and can sustain their position but this is going to another adjustment for Lebron. Although Lakers are a solid defensive team, they will still miss how good AD scores especially in mid post action.
