What are your thoughts on the Pelicans, can they turn their season around after 5-10 start?
I believe they can still make it, it's still early, just like the Nets, this team is also struggling but once they adjusted to the new system and figure out how to win, then I think they'll continue winning. It's a new system under a new coach, adjustment is normal but it's still early and what's important is Zion is healthy who has been the main man for this team and very consistent with his contribution.

What are your thoughts on the Pelicans, can they turn their season around after 5-10 start?
I had the Pelicans make the playoffs this season, they have some really nice young players, an experienced coach, decent offseason signings in Bledsoe and Steven Adams. Beat in preseason both the Bucks and Heat, won 4 of their first 6 games...i mean what happened after that, just 1 win in their last 9 matches, and what's worst, they are simply not playing well. I've heard rumors that players are not really meshing with their coach (Stan Van Gundy) and his slow-paced offense. Last season Pels were top 3 in assists per game playing exciting basketball, this season, bottom of the table, a lot of ISO plays for Ingram and Zion and that's it.

^^ He could have surpassed it easily much earlier, and it just been delayed because of his injury.
I remember one Youtube channel predicting when is Steph going to break the record of Ray Allen. In any case though, he can be the all time leader once he retire. 400 shots can be done in just one season. And if he can play straight for at least two seasons, then the record will be his.

If you check his all-time stats, you will see that he made more than 400 three-point per season only once. It was in the 15/16 season.
Anyway, you probably right, and Curry will pass Allen within the next two seasons.
Finally the nets won a game after two losing streak.
Durant got 31 points, Harden 12 points with 11 assists, and Irving had 28 points.
That's because we have the thought they are a superpower team. Durant got 31 points, Harden 12 points with 11 assists, and Irving had 28 points.
4 point lead to end the game with 3 stars.
Losing twice against the Cavs is unacceptable and so does if they lose again.
I have a feeling the management is now regretting some of their trade choices.
Let's see if they can stay consistent this time.
it's likely to be achieve next season, in my estimate, Curry is making an average of 3 to 4 3 point shots per game, that's regardless of the result of the game, so if he will stay healthy and of course consistent then breaking the all time record is not a problem. However, his record is also not hard to break as the game now is more on 3 point shooting, we also have players who are shooting that average on a daily basis and they are still young now.
That's the result or influenced by him itself. After that dominance from the last few seasons Steph and Klay changed the game, now it's more on taking 3's than penetrating, more on offense to be your defense than protecting the basket.
He deserve to be known as the best rainbow arc administer. Bringing this type of game to this league after Reggie Miller's era, surpassing Miller already a success but it would be more delighful if he'll break the top seeder and put his name to this legacy.
You look at teams and where they shoot from these days and you can see that (except spurs maybe lol) most teams are either shooting from very close, such as layups or dunks, or they shoot threes, there is very little midrange shooting these days in the NBA. Which is why I think it is a bit about steph and klay winning that many rings shooting threes, but it is a bit about analytics as well.
I was busy watching fights last night and it looks like Anthony Davis had his best game of the season against his hometown Bulls. You have to wonder why he doesn't put on a show like that every night if he's able. Missing that consistent killer spirit is why he's never been able to carry a team. I hope he learns how to go out and destroy defenses every single night the way his teammate LeBron does. He would be a bad man if he wanted to be.
Finally the nets won a game after two losing streak.
Durant got 31 points, Harden 12 points with 11 assists, and Irving had 28 points.
However, I'm not impressed with this win as they did not really dominate a shorthanded Miami heat, they only won by 4 points, how much more if they'll face a complete team like the Lakers, Clippers or the Jazz?

The point difference may be low but does it really matter? They won the game despite Harden's poor shot percentage. It's important to get wins as Brooklyn Nets is still in 5th place. They should be in top 2 before play-off starts or they will lose a possible home court advantage if they reach conference finals.
Also, congratulations to Curry for passing Reggie Miller. As long as he plays injury free, he will be number one in that stat category.

At least they already have won for the first time since the 3 playing together. This is a good start, there will be more test to come, but since they all have the experience and the talent, they can give their opponent a tough game all the time. Their next game is still against the Miami Heat, so probably still the same result.
Looking at their schedule, their possible toughest game IMO will be this coming February 2 against the Clippers at home.

Joe Harris did score, 23 points to contribute to the Big 3. Other than that, Jeff Green with 11 points, so still majority of the load comes from the Durant, Irving and Harden. And still this is a bad sign for the Nets though, they need someone other than the Big 3 to contribute.Durant got 31 points, Harden 12 points with 11 assists, and Irving had 28 points.

And I agree that if they face a tough opponents, they maybe in the third game losing streak by now.

Now that he is getting close to surpassing Ray Allen, that will sruely make him one of the best NBA legend when he retired. Those Championships are already a big contribution but to make his own personal record is something. I hope one day he surpasses Ray Allen because I think he deserved that too. Right now he is playing his old game but that would be changed soon when Klay Thompson returns to the court and that will make Golden State Warriors one of the best contenders again.

Last night Stephen Curry became the second player that have all time high 3-points made record. He passed the legendary Reggie Miller.
Ray Allen is at the top for this statistics. I think Stephen Curry will pass Ray Allen before he retires.
Definitely, no doubt about that, Curry still has more seasons in the NBA and I believe he is more matured now and he can keep himself healthy. Ray Allen is at the top for this statistics. I think Stephen Curry will pass Ray Allen before he retires.

He needs over 400 shots in 3 points and I think it's easy considering he can shoot anytime he wants.
If he can't make it this season, surely the next season it will make him sit in the number 1 spot.
Ray Allen is at the top for this statistics. I think Stephen Curry will pass Ray Allen before he retires.
The guy is breaking records and I think even this season or the next one will see he breaks this stats. 2015-16 season he got 400+ 3P made which I think not a doubtful stat to break it, he averages 4+ 3PpG and considering season just barely started that might goes up or that might give him some more motivation to break it in.

That's what Brooklyn Nets ended up as there are no consistent players now on their bench unlike before.
But that's just a season game and as per news, Nets superstars are now analyzing what's wrong recently. The problem has shown up already so they can address it in the next following games.
I'm not really thinking about how Brookly loses but rather I think of those gamblers who bet for Cavaliers. They surely got a good profit in that 2 games.

If they bet with the specials in betting on points, than that's a big odds of winning.
They win 6.5 under but they won by 12 points, I think prior to the last game that was +9.5 and still nets won by 11 or 12 points.
we can based on the game today between the Wolves and Pelicans, Wolves are +9.5 points.

Im not really that too known on kyries behavior when it comes on having that alpha characteristic but if they want to have some good coordination then one of them would really give the way.
But im not really closing up my mind for the suggestion on trading him up since Durant+Harden is already enough for the team of Nets. They do need much better defensive guy?
Wondering on who would be the one to be worth on exchanging Kyrie's spot? Just mentioned that we are just on the early time of regular season.There would be still some ample
time to change up those flaws or problems.It isnt really just enough nor convincing that he should be traded with just 2-3 games that didnt give out some good result.
I would say if there was a way to trade Kyrie which I doubt that other teams would want him, obviously he is a great player when he plays and wants to contribute but when he doesn't want to dude is just a flat earth I am at home not coming to game type of guy so it could be hard to trade him. However if they really want to trade him, wouldn't it be shocking if they traded him for westbrook?But im not really closing up my mind for the suggestion on trading him up since Durant+Harden is already enough for the team of Nets.

I mean wizards got westbrook just recently and gave John Wall for him, which is not really a nice move by Wizards since Wall gave his all since he was drafted and suddenly was gone, but let's assume they just gave Westbrook away, that would require Deandre Jordan to leave too I guess to cover the difference, but if teams could somehow agree to it, with some picks and all switching hands, I would say that would be hilarious. Nets having westbrook+harden+durant together. It is not impossible, it could totally happen "if" teams want to, mathematically and cap reasons, it could happen.

~With kyries attitude? I doubt he will adjust on the line up since he always want to be the first option in terms of scoring so it's hard for both 3 stars to facilitate theirselves when they are together so best to trade him since we already see the combination of harden - durant without kyrie they won the 2 games and with kyrie they lost 2 games with many turnovers acquired. So I think this is enough already and they should try to acquire a defensive guy to fill the gap on their team.
