I think trying to blame Gasol isn't right. Very clear from the video (not so much from the pictures) that the foul was committed by LeBron. Multiple replays and professional officials confirmed that. I'm a LeBron fan, but if this shit starts happening as he ages as a way to protect his legacy from posters of him being dunked on, he's no better than Grayson Allen. LeBron needs to do better and I'm sure he will, but this play is indefensible from a moral standpoint.

I agree.
Just because he is soon to be a HOF means he can do bad things like that to avoid humiliation.
Worse, he didn't even feel sorry about what he had done.
I have watch Lebron so many times that I always see him helping those he thought he might have hurt.
Not this time. Almost looked like there is hate building up.
He's near retirement and he doesn't want any stain on that jersey that will be lifted up.

Lakers is a good team, if this will be realized, his chance of getting a championship will be close to 70% as the Lakers are the favorites this season.

I like the Clippers more, they are not changing their roster now and they are improving as we can see. Lakers maybe felt that there are still lacking in the line up, so they are trying to get an all star player and a good 3 point shooting for the team.

Westbrook soon will be the leader of the team, Wizards will become an old OKC where westbrook getting triple double for stat padding. Grin

I also think about LA Clipers and LA Lakers gonna be close to the NBA finals, but don't forget the Nets guys, If we have a concentrate Kyrie Irving with a good Harden and Durant versions, I bet they will be into the finals for sure. By the other hand, pay attention on Utah Jazz, they are pushing hard and a very nice performance in the latest games.

Nets despite winning games but they are not so convincing, they have a weakness and that is their defense and rebounding.

Lakers and Clippers have already corrected their weakness, their line up seems to be a championship ready, so I'm backing on them than the Nets.

I loss my confidence on the Nets when they have a back to back loss against the Cavaliers, but I'm happy to see that they are already in the winning track, having a 3 win streak after the 2 heart breaking loses, I think they are really to come back and start a good run of win streak.

They have an easy game tonight, they are heavily favored in this game against the OKC, so I hope I will not be disappointed here.
I like to see a win, a very convincing win, not a win coming from another OT.

The Lakers expressing a desire to trade for Bradley Beal to form a big 3 of their own. Analysts are saying it would be the best big 3 in nba history. While I think that’s a bit premature, it is fun to think about. The finals are going to be great this year.

https://www.silverscreenandroll.com/2021/1/28/22255124/lakers-trade-rumors-bradley-beal-wizards-clippers-woj-report-espn

For me, I think it's no necessary anymore, they are still the best team in the NBA for now.
Even if they are not anymore rank at number 1 but their chance is still high to win in the West and to win the NBA Finals.

I don't know what still they need more, their role players are very effective, others just need more time to blend well to the team.

If they get Beal, who are gonna be traded for him?

They are best for now but that's not enough the other teams are building their own super team especially the nets if they complete to get either Javale,Love or Drummond well they are so dangerous opponent to face on.

Also in terms of trading talks kuzma's a name is always inserted also maybe they will add other player or pick to make this planned deal done.

I'm following this rumor, we will wait what's gonna happen overtime, if Beal will be destined with the Lakers, then be it, but he has to play the role under King James because Lebron will always manned this team, it's very different from his current role now.

That's the most interesting part there if beal could really be fit on the team where dominated by james since it's a big adjustment for him if he will be successfully transfer in LAL.

That's why they are working to get a solid defender to fill the slot where they are so soft and if they can acquire either Drummond well possibly they will be the most dangerous team in the east.

It could happen. The Lakers has become interested to Bradley Beal since 2018 as the article also says. But they have landed a much bigger star Anthony Davis, but with a huge constellation in Brooklyn, I guess the Lakers management will make their own move as well. I've also heard Beal was interested in joining the Lakers before AD landed in LA.
We all know the Lakers franchise is really good at maintaining the quality of their team and the number of their championships they got speaks for it.

If the Lakers is really interested to this trade, this would involved Kuzma, Harell, Schröder, KCP, and THT any of these guys could be sent away.

It is normal if they want that guy on Board, He is the leading scorer in the championship and it will be great see that guy with James & David, even better than 'the threes Nets - Harden, Durant and Irving'. I think Lakers will be in the NBA finals or really close to them and no matter if Bradley Beal comes to Los Angeles but definitely they will get more posibilities to win the NBA championship if he joins the Lakers team. Let's see the next days what happen!

Hello guys, as you know, the Clippers just won 109 -105 over the Heat and they are still without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George due to the NBA's health and safety protocols. They had six players in double-figures for points doing an amazing job since they didn't have their main stars on board. I have been reading some tweets about they could be ready for the next match, Orlando, but it is not confirmed at all. It will be great if someone has any idea about their COVID status and can share it right here. Thanks in advance.

If you read my post, I state that if it were the other way around Embid would have been ejected. I also stated that LeBron deserved an ejection. I didn't say he was ejected.

Embiid claims that if it's him, he would be ejected is too much. He just needs to state what he feels about Lebron, not the whole organization.

Even his Coach Doc Rivers said that he didn't think either play (the later flagrant with AD) should have been called for a flagrant at all (not an ejection). Not a Lebron fan here but in his whole career, he's not known for doing a dirty play.

I don't like that the Heats aren't playing like the defending conference finalist... Some player not being in the game shouldn't affect the entire team spirit. Too low! Can they even make the playoffs this year tho🤦🏽‍♂️

I don't think they will be competing in the playoffs with their current situation as you can see, the other teams in the east are battling hard to get to the playoff tree. Now the Miami Heat are struggling too much and the NBA Finals last year might not be possible again.

As you can see in their records they're losing streak is too much, they need some winning streak instead of a losing streak right now.

Update: I think this is one of the reasons for their losing streak. I hope he will be back soon.

What do you guys think about LeBron’s foul against Embid last night? Is Embid right to say if it was the other way around he would have been ejected? It was definitely a dangerous play and probably the first time I’ve seen LeBron do something that deserved an ejection. Seemed like he was ready to hurt Embid to avoid being put on a poster. You usually don’t see that sort of pettiness from LeBron.

Watched the replay on Youtube and man, that was really dangerous.

IMO, Embiid's opinion if it was him who committed the foul, he could have been ejected is exaggerated. He think that the official only call a flagrant foul on James because of his status but forget to realized that he is too, a star in the NBA. I've seen lot of hard fouls on the NBA but seldom see an ejection.

Lots of funny comments, people are not happy about the call. I thought it was Gasol who fouled him but when I watch the video again, it was clearly an intentional foul when Lebron is not anymore after of the ball but just to push Embiid to prevent him from dunking the ball.

This is so TRUE! Can't blame the Haters.

LeBron and D-Wade: Darling Of NBA Refs Everywhere

After watching that replay, I also think that it was Gasol who made this foul worse, if only that push from LeBron it won't be like that. The push is just to avoid the dunk.

But haters are haters and it can't be changed, it isn't the intention to hurt that much but just to move Embiid not to complete
that possible dunk, considering how heavy this two players you can't just do it slightly but to add force to stop or to really move
that dunk.

lakers managed to hold their horses whereas all the other big teams lost, so lakers got an "easy" win. This year it feels the same, I don't know if big teams will be awesome but I think every team has a chance to actually contend again.

The bubble was one of the most challenging part of the NBA history where the players played with their hearts and passion despite the fear of covid and playing away from their families, and battled with a lot of emotions. That wasn't an easy win for the Lakers If you have to open your eyes wider.
The Nuggets played very well, as well as the Heat played very well. That's why they beat those team (big teams as you say) which everyone thought to play in the Finals.
If you're an NBA fan you shouldve know that underdog teams always have a shot at beating powerhouse teams and advance to the finals.

Have you heard an 8th seeded team advanced to the NBA finals?

You do mean about New York knicks defeated Heat in five games?
https://www.nba.com/magic/history-no-1-vs-no-8-nba-playoffs-20200810#:~:text=In%201999%2C%20the%20New%20York,to%20the%20San%20Antonio%20Spurs.

I do agree that underdog teams can really have a shot on beating off those powerhouses.Come to think that Heat on last season where
even myself didn't anticipate for that to happen.It was unbelievable considering on how many much more better teams along the line.

playoffs are when players especially the 8th seed for example have nothing to lose, so they go all out while the other team is thinking they are easy to beat since they were just the eight seed then they were shocked, and also sometimes with luck, that's hard to stop when 8 seed team shooting low percentage in regular season then suddenly shooting in the playoffs are off the chart that's really hard to stop.
