Atlanta Hawks played a home game against LA Clippers last night. Hawks beat Clippers 108-99 despite being behind at the end of the first half. On Hawks side, T. Young got 38 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists. D. Hunter got 22 points. On Clippers side, R. Jackson got 20 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists. I. Zubac made a double-double (13 points, 10 rebounds).
Clarkson is a decent player, it's just that the team that he been have already star players that is why he is not given much time to play and have to be a supporting cast, but when given a chance he can still pour points, that's what I like with this player, type like this always have room on other teams, if he can improve more this year he has maybe given a starting role on the team but he needs to fight for it every time since other players are targeting it.
Nice game by Utah Jazz. I thought there win streak will be broken but even with a bad start, they were able to dominate the Knicks in the 2nd half.
This is the kind of game I like to see, a team that is fighting to win, they never give up and their win streak is now at 9.

Newyork Knicks was not a bad team but Utah Jazz this year is unstoppable and as you can see we need to see the match between them and the Lakers. The western conference is surely hard this year I wonder who will gonna climb up the ladder between those 2 teams. I think that a big-time contract with RUDY GOBERT was worth it and they are taking every fruit right now. I hope they continue playing like this until the end of the season because it is nice to see a semi-contender team slowly climbing to the top like the Golden State Warriors years ago.
What actually made them different this season is they are complete, the team are healthy and Clarkson is also very comfortable playing with the team. They really are a tough team to beat this season, they are all maturing and they surely have learn from their mistake in the playoffs and they will make that as an inspiration to improve as a team.
God forbid the injury to happen for this team, I think they have a shot in beating Clippers, Lakers and Nuggets.
Clarkson has really improve, his minutes is almost the same last season but his stats is really improving, he also signed a contract this season and I think he is really motivated. I'm proud of this guy as he is our "kababayan", and his stats are really impressive for a six man. https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/clarkjo01.html
He signed a 4 year contract worth $52 million in 4 years, probably his biggest contract so far but not so big enough compared to his previous salary with the Lakers and the cavaliers as we can see in the summary https://hoopshype.com/player/jordan-clarkson/salary/.
Maybe if he will continue to be consistent, he might get a better contract once he got renewed by the Utah Jazz.
He will be 32 years old once the contract expires, and I think as long as he is healthy, he can still get a better salary at that age.

Utah Jazz won 9 matches in a row. Impressive performance by them I believe nobody expect from.
I normally wonder if they continue this run and find a good spot before play-offs.

They are looking strong, but we still far from the play-offs so we really don't know what spot they are going to finished. The thing is that they really look solid and deep, even if Donovan Mitchell had a bad game, everyone contributed specially Rudy Gobert and O'Neale.

I am not sure if Luka will be capable of surpassing Oscar Robertson in the triple double statistics. Dude is a marvelous player and he definitely deserves all the praise he gets, he will definitely be the MVP of the league one day and become the first player to be the euroleague mvp and nba mvp, however passing that record Oscar Robertson has is a very very tough thing to do.
Let me explain how hard it is this way, Russell Westbrook had 3 WHOLE SEASONS averaging triple double and he is still 40+ games behind Oscar Robertson, and I know Westbrook wasn't like this on his early career which is his biggest disadvantage but we also do not know how long Luka can keep this up.
Hence I think Luka will definitely be in top 10 very soon, and he will probably be in top 3 or so when he finishes his career, but beating that Oscar Robertson record will not be easy, he will need to stay healthy and keep this type of talent up for 10+ years without interruption.

Looking at the poll, the Lakers seem to be getting close to clinching the first to 20 wins while the 76ers have gone 5-5 in their last 10 games. Still good enough for the top spot in the east, but I think the Clippers are looking like the only real challenger to 20 wins first.
That would be tight since Jazz is a tough contender too and right now they just clinched their 9th straight win against NYK and now they are tied in wins with Clippers. I don't doubt the Clippers to get that but I think the one that will get it first is either between Jazz and Lakers. Is this Jazz win streak gonna continue and just found and interesting information on google about streak wins, might be good for the Jazz but are they that of a Finals contender at the moment? Well they just still at the half of that good omen and one more thing if they got 7 more wins then they'll beat the record of the past 1996-1997 Jazz if they could or they got that double digits straight wins again. Who knows but I think the odds are on their favor.

The NBA's longest winning streak in history is 33 games by the 1971-72 Lakers. Win streaks of this length are a good omen for playoff success — seven of the 12 teams to win 18 or more games in a row in NBA history have gone on to win the NBA title.
I cant really just avoid not to be amazed with Doncic breaking out records on this early regular season.
Even though they lost this game but still able to make triple double. What an awesome player!

He is really amazing, he has been improving and him being the PG of the team is really a big factor for their success as he works in every angle in the floor. His timing is good, he just need his teammates to working hard as well, but it's okay to see this loss since they are not complete and the game was tight and you'll take that as a good loss since Denver is a great team as well.
Even when he is in Slovenia Luka is already a star player, I have to be honest when I saw him in the draft I just thought that it is going to be hard for him to play with other NBA players especially LeBron and curry, but all of that changes everything when I saw him compete with those players and others he really is a special player, and continue to improve every year he keeps on getting big games and is very consistent of it.

Nuggets won against Dallas.
Murray ejected at the 3rd quarter.
stepped up to give the Nuggets a win with 30 points.
Doncic on the other hand made amazing stats once again. 35pts 16asts 11rebs
I think it's his 5th triple-double of the season.
This dude and Jokic will be breaking a lot of records someday.

Mavs still have 4 players out because of covid-19. One of those would definitely limit Michael Porter Jr. performance. Beside that rebounds make the difference. Mavs did great in last 3 weeks without covid-19 team. Tomorrow against Utah it is suspected 3 guys will return. so Kleber will be only one out. Hopefully from now on Mavs will be healthy. That will make them totally different team that they were in last 3 weeks.
Dallas needs to win again, their 2 losing streak made their rank in the number 10 now, there's a lot of competition in the East so they need to get back in the top 8 if they want be in the playoffs. If they are complete, Dallas seems to be a good team, so I'm hoping roles players will be back again, and now that Porzingis is back and slowly getting to his old self, I think they can be more better, better than last season.
when it comes to their last 3 weeks games than on this upcoming one. I cant really just avoid not to be amazed with Doncic breaking out records on this early regular season.

Its been a year since Kobe's helicopter crash. RIP KOBE 
snif...
snif...
And many are still missing him, even though he is retired and all, we fans are sure devastated from his tragic loss, and that trademark color of purple and gold will sure remind everyone of us of his memories when he is still playing on LA Lakers,
well, I got a friend who painted his car in the dedication to the black mamba the color of purple and gold, and it ends up pretty cool, RIP Kobe and Gianna Bryant.
When in talks of Kobe then there are several monuments that had been built.

One in staples and one is on china. Dont know if there are others existing but this do proves out that he's someone that wont be forgotten.
LeBron with the big night tonight. Seemed like he wanted to do to Cleveland what Anthony Davis did against Chicago. Nice they help each other out on a show for their hometown fans. Kind of funny really.
Looks like LeBron had some extra motivation heading into the 4th quarter that led to his 21 point outburst in the final minutes of the game. Great to read stories like this. You typically hear this sort of thing about Larry Bird and Michael Jordan. It's great LeBron is so comfortable in this league. It would be so amazing as a young player to have a teammate like that to learn from.

"I felt like he was just a little bit too excited about seeing me miss," James said afterward, declining to name Hillman when asked who caught his attention. "He was really excited about me missing that shot. A little bit more extra than I would have liked."
Time will come that he will surpass the number 1 in the list, he is still young and he still have more seasons to play.
It's pretty amazing to see him playing on the floor and to tally a high number of assist, currently he is the number 2 in assists leaders, next to Harden.
Soon as his good performance will continue, he might be all over in the stats leaders.

It will happen someday.
Number one on the list is still Oscar Robertson with 181 triple-doubles.
Next is WB (Russell Westbrook) 141. But he is soon to retire.
Jokic on the other hand already had 41 and he is still young.
Doncic is still way far from those numbers but I bet he will break those while wearing his healthy smile.
