I don't understand what it means about Frontcourt and the Backcourt of both conferences. Based on this site, Alex Caruso has a million votes in Backcourt of the Western Conference which is really surprising since he has more votes than other players that are also doing well in the season. He's not being talked about that much but this proves how great of a player he is if these votes are accurate.
Well, i can understand a little bit, but frontcourt players are considered to be the big players, example SF, PF and C. And backcourt are the smaller players, SG and PG.

I confess, Caruso had these millions of votes because he is very beloved to the fans and also because he is a "meme player", because sometimes someone makes fun of him or something like that.
Caruso has improved a lot lately, and I believe he can improve even more.

Here's the definition of front court players and back court players so you will not be confuse.

Quote
Frontcourt Positions
The small forward, power forward and center are collectively designated as a basketball team’s frontcourt. Typically, these players play near the baseline, which is the out-of-bounds line under each basket. On offense, these players constantly move from one side of the key to the other in an attempt to free themselves to take an open shot. When used in relation to these players, the term frontcourt usually refers to their offensive responsibilities, but also carries implications to the players they defend.

Quote
Backcourt Positions
A point guard and shooting guard are collectively referred to as a basketball team’s backcourt and are commonly the players that advance the ball into the side of the court on which their team is attempting to score. The shooting guard is typically responsible for scoring the most points between the two guards, while the point guard is expected to create plays by passing the ball to open players, such as the forwards and center. Usually, these responsibilities vary based upon the type of defense the opposing team uses and on the strengths and weaknesses of particular opposing players.

Thanks for that but should they really use this in an all-star game? I mean they could just let the people choose the players they wanted. Their roles or positions don't even matter as they would just adjust and do things for the watcher or the supporters to enjoy the game. Well, winning is different of course since both teams want to win.

Good comeback by the Lakers who were down 11points at a point in the 4th qtr. LBJ with 28 points and Harrell taking advantage of OKC not having a strong center and got 21 points. Lebron got his triple double with 28points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists.

We have seen an awesome game really. Lakers were 56-60 behind at halftime. 3rd quarter was also so close. In the last quarter, Lakers dominated it and had their the most points of all quarters, 34. They succeeded in defeating Thunder after overtime with a 119-112 result. I liked watching Lebron the most in this game. Lakers maintain their incredible performance. They were the victor in the last 5 games.

Mostly Lebron will choked, but this time he did not, good job for him as he again carry this team. Lakers missed Davis because everything is easy with him, Gasol seems not so productive as a center but good thing they have Montrezl Harrell whoa re contributing to this team as usual.

Another triple double, good for James, that will again add on his achievement and he will continue to rise in ranking.

Currently he is rank at number 5 for "Players with the most triple doubles in the NBA all-time as of January 2021" according to.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/695594/all-time-nba-triple-double-leaders/

It was a close game that leads to overtime that was a crucial game for Lebron and the others because AD was not playing today. Most of the critics think that without AD Lakers is nothing but they proved it today without a doubt they are one of the contender team even though without AD. What more if they made AD play today and the reasons they were trailing because Kuzma's shot from the ark was not successful. Thankfully the other teammates have done their job well and they are now 1 win away to 20 wins.

Los Angeles Lakers 19-6

It's okay for Davis to just rest for awhile, Lebron will take care of the team and there's no pressure on them since they are still the number 1 in the West and in the league in overall I think (not updated with the list yet). Congrats to them, a big win for them because it went into OT and they proved that they have the composure to stay calm and win the game.

Bad decision by Draymond Green.
He thought he will be fouled but no call. That's a lot of time and should've just run the play for Steph.
The Spurs won the game against GSW.

How about this guy? Dejounte Murray.
Almost a triple-double in a different way. 27 points 10 rebounds 8 steals. Wow.
I think he just broke a record for steals made in a game.

I think that so much intensity every time he plays makes the injury more serious, if you see all his performance was out of this world, I have seen the reviews, and that put pressure on the muscle, he could have been like LeBron if he chooses plays only when needed, but what can I say he doesn't want to hold back every game and put an amazing show for us, maybe he can be an assistant coach or coach in the near future for rose?

He was that good and unstoppable before the injury has happened to him that made him a bench player nowadays. Injury after injury and they've missed the playoffs those past years. I think he needs he can have a chance again to play in the playoffs if the Knicks will hold that position right now until the playoffs. Derrick Rose has something to prove when he gives all his best in a game especially when competing with the contender teams. He jumped like there is no tomorrow that's the way he plays his game in the past.

DRose can bring intensity to the whole team once he started to spark, just like an engine when got heated he's going to bring great performance.

I'm a DRose fan but we have to accept that there's no already spark in him. He is inconsistent for several seasons now and it's understandable. Feel sad for him that he ended up being traded for several teams. If there's a spark, then he won't be considered trading at all.

Knicks just accept the trade as maybe because DSJ doesn't really fit on their chemistry. That's the problem too why he was being traded from Dallas to Knicks. He's always acted as a leader even Luka is performing better. Maybe ego because DSJ was drafted first.

Rose was once an amazing player.  It's messed up what happened to him, but I am with you on the spark.  He's been checked out for a while now and while he did have that one game winner a couple years back where he put up a ton of points, those moments may all be in the past now.  I think he would have retired 5 years ago except his contract with whatever sponsor he had required him to be in the NBA and that contract dwarfs the amount of money he makes as a player now...  So it's a unique situation where the guy has to be in the NBA to keep getting his advertising payday, even though NBA teams are getting reluctant to even pay his relatively low player salary.

I don't think a player can act whatever he want, his job is just to follow orders from the coaching staff, let us stop speculating, we never know what's really happening inside and those trades are for the best interest of both team the fact that it happened and both mutually agreed.

Derrick Rose back with the Knicks, he and Thibs will be working together after Chicago, Minnesota and now in NY.

Interesting to see how this trade plays out for both the team and Rose, Knicks definitely have a shot at the playoffs in the East, currently holding the 8th spot.

Plenty of guards at Thibs disposal, i just hope Quickley doesn't get his minutes reduced as he has shown promising things thus far, Knick fans can attest to that.

Oh, Dennis Smith Jr goes to the Pistons, part of the trade.
I do not get why Derrick Rose was sent for DSJ and a pick, like yes Rose is a good player but we are talking about a young player who is not that bad plus a draft pick to get him, Rose is way too old to deserve something like that. He played only 15 games so far and he averaged only 14 points in those games too, not that he is a bad player that is good and DSJ played only 3 games with only 3 points so I know he is not good but he was a player who had 14+ points for a while, he is still 23 years old and could get better, whereas Rose is 32 already and on the downhill of his injury ridden career, I doubt he could make any impact on any team.

I understand teams wanting him, specially teams who want him as second PG on their team, that makes perfect sense, but wanting him for Draf picks doesn't really make sense. Both New York and Detroit are bad teams anyway so this shouldn't matter much.

Dennis Smith was never going to get burn on this team with thibs.  Quickley is next in line, and thibs already shows the kid trust.  I think the move is for them to compete this year but also provide that vet guidance to quickley and the younger guys.  I dont think this eats into quickleys lile like it will to burks.  Quickley is only getting 12-13 minutes a game it think that stays the same. No point just leaving him on the bench for the year

-Snip-
I bet they will also try a small line-up here.
Considering the health of Rose, he won't be taking a lot of minutes. It will be Quickley and Payton that will be hit by it.
Yeah, they have a lot of guards and if Thibs could use that as a strength then I bet they might increase their chances for even a 7th spot in East or better.
Then, there's Austin Rivers which could adjust to SF.

They've got something to work on, player like DRose can bring intensity to the whole team once he started to spark, just like an engine when got heated he's going to bring great performance.

Not young but being paired to right people sorrounds him and support him would be good enough to let him play the way he wanted to.

DRose might not get that minutes but for sure quality time to showcase his talent, good enough for  his
loyal fans knowing that Theb continue to believe what DRose can contribute to his squad.

He was planed to go play in G League bubble. So I guess that plan will change now. I wonder if he will get any play minutes at Detroit. We should not forget he was 9th pick in 2017 draft.

will durant in squad team versus ex-club GSW in the next Friday?
Yes, but that will be on the road, per report he will be back by that time but since he is in quarantine before that, I doubt he is fully prepared for that game.
Anyways, they have irving and Harden in case he'll struggle a bit.

we know he suddenly out while playing versus raptors in cause covid 19contact  issue. at this time not even 14 days yet, I guess He still in quarantine and he will see the nets get a lose again at home.

That was a protocol to follow, Durant has to be taken out though it doesn't look good, especially in the eyes of the bettors who back the nets to win.
Let's see if Harden and Irving could deliver a win in a Durant less Nets in the next 2 games.

Hmmmm, thanks for help me @stadus, i understood these concepts a little bit, because in my country where I live, we rarely use these names.

Sadly he merely a shadow of himself since the injury. Still pretty explosive with his footwork and drive to the basket but the league have become a lot more athletic on average, than the time Rose was the MVP.

Rose was the best, he made history, he was the ROY and the MVP and he was only 21 years old that time if I'm not wrong. That's so special, even the legend admire him and was amaze by the way he play, unfortunately a serious injury ended that, and although he is not anymore on his prime but people are still happy seeing him in the league.

If I'm not wrong, Derrick Rose won the MVP award at the age of 22, but he was the youngest player in history to win the MVP award.

I am sad to know that he is no longer the same, because of his injuries, but I have no doubt that if he did not have the injuries he could be one of the greatest players in the NBA

Another player, came in my mind now, and that his performance dropped a lot because of injuries was Isaiah Thomas.

Guys, a have a question, do you think in the future, Derrick Rose and Isaiah Thomas can improve their performance and return to being the star of the team?
