Warriors do look like they may have some trouble and if they do not end up doing better then they are going to end up missing the playoffs. To be fair they are at a stage where they could start being bad too, people are expecting way too much from them. Imagine a team that is doing this much, it is really important to realize that you are not going to end up with anything that would be crazy, it should be as normal as it gets and not have anything that will change in the end.
I hope that people could see that possibility as important, and we are not going to get anything marginal out of this. I hope to get it made one way or another, and should consider the fact that we are going to get something good from other teams being better.

Nah, the Warriors dynasty are long gone. Their small ball play don't work anymore. Now, they are on the brink of being eliminated even in the play-in tournament. The Rockets are red hot winning 9 of their last 10 games and now they are on 8-game winning streak, while the Warriors are on a 2-game losing streak. The Rockets could've surely make it if Sengun wasn't injured, but I also think they can actually make it to the play-in this year. The Warriors have a tough schedule ahead that could potentially extend the number of losses.
The Lakers on the other hand may have already secured their spot in the play-in after winning 3 consecutive games and established a comfortable lead ahead the Warriors in the 9th seed.
Well, I'm a Warrior fan, and I will also say that the dynasty is over already. The Lakers on the other hand may have already secured their spot in the play-in after winning 3 consecutive games and established a comfortable lead ahead the Warriors in the 9th seed.
The dynasty gave the Warriors 4 titles so, I guess that's a huge achievement for them already. Small ball set-up still works, but with the current rosters of the team today, it's hard, and the Warriors had a small line-up, but their offense is one of the best a few years ago, and Green is their best defender at that time, and he's an excellent defender of the paint that's why it worked for them.
Currently, the remaining games of the Rockets are somewhat better than that of the Warriors, and as much as I want the Warriors to at least stay on that 10th spot, it seems like their chances of staying on that spot is slowly withering away, and the Rockets are coming to take it. Right now, the Rockets have the momentum with their winning streak while the Warriors on the other hand, is on a losing streak. I hope that they will recover from this slump, and gain some momentum again with only 12 games remaining.
Offensive battle, LA LAkers versus the Indiana Pacers. What a score! That almost went to 300 points total. 5 points shy.
And because of that, the stats of every player are filled. And thanks to that I won this.
Crazy stats for Anthony Davis 36 points and 16 rebounds, he dominated the painted area and underneath the rim, that is where he got most of his points.

Even with monster stats of Lakers including AD it’s really surprising to see that score of Pacers is just 5 points lower than Laker.
It is kind of frustrating that the Lakers just won by 5 points. They had a big lead; I think it was around the 3rd quarter when they subbed Bron out. I actually did not watch the game after that since I knew it would be a sure win for the Lakers because they had a big lead. Then hours passed when I saw the result: the Lakers just won by 5 points. It is one of the Lakers issues that they should fix, especially since playoffs are near and teams are unpredictable when playoffs come. But anyways, it was still a good game for the Lakers, as 5 Lakers scored in double digits and 4 of them scored 25+ points, and this is the first time the Lakers scored 150 in a single game after many years!
I hope they can continue this pace, win the play-in games, and be tough in the playoffs.

Pacers score aside from Siakam is just below 20 points that shows a team effort to counter the aggression of Lakers star line-up monster performance. This all the Lakers get with that AD total control on the paint.
Haliburton just score 12 that shows how important to create a play instead of personal stats just to win the game.
Nice win on your bet with that long betbuilder bet.

This is the kind of AD that we like to see in the playoffs, seems like they'll make it to the playoffs as they'll likely win the play-in in case they'll not hit the number 6 rank. It was a high scoring game, fast pace and the 3 point shooting is very accurate, 50% for Indiana while 48% for the Lakers.
We also have to notice Dinwiddie as he had some great game here, 26 points from 8-11 shooting is pretty much impressive.
Can't wait to see this team in the play-offs and I know it will happen so I'm backing them all their remaining games.

But the Pacers also have Siakam who had been phenomenal in 3-point plays using the attack on the paint.
Still, the Lakers won the game, and that made their standing get near the Dallas Mavericks. 39 wins for the Lakers, and 41 for the Mavs. The Lakers would need to win every possible game that they can.
The Warriors on the other hand sure played well in the first half but Naz Reid kept on countering them with his precise 3-point shooting. If not for him it could've been a blowout game because Antman cannot find rhythm early in the game. Wolves won at the end of regulation.

Lots of games left and there would be a lot of changes to happen that's why we cannot be so sure on the result since there might be changes to happen on top 9 and 10 on standing. But we can say that rockets still kicking since they are doing an impressive performance and there's huge chance that they can replace the 10th seed on the west which is the struggling Warriors. If they can able to win 2 more games for sure they have good chance to enter on play in. Don't know what happen to Warriors this season and it seems their current rotation is not effective anymore so maybe they need to change their strategy since they always got defeated nor struggle each game they played. A lot still believe that Warriors can get into the playoffs but I think the chances for that to happen is so low now that they losing and that can affect their morale.
I guess I know what is the problem with the Warriors. They should sit CP3, or just limit his minutes because he isn't helping a lot. He still has the passing ability and a little bit of shooting but he is a big liability in defense. I'm sure a lot of us here remember that the Warriors were on winning streak when CP3 was sitting, so he should start sitting now as they can't afford to experience another loss.
Although the game between the wolves was close, they had a good lead but allowed the home team to cover and that they loss in the 4th quarter.
They are not the same anymore because there are player/s in the team that just live on his name but not on his actual contributio.
Just like uncle drew said " he got a million dollar move but 50 cents finish".. LOL
There chances are getting slim, how many games we have left? 12-13? If they don't start winning and then the Houston Rockets continues with their winning streak. It might be over for the Warriors this season. And that experiment of having 30+ big 3 or big 4 if we wanted to call it with CP3, it's not working for the Warriors.
And they should have peaked as we close down the regular season, but the 2 weeks of March was brutal to them, Curry misses some games and they continue to struggle against top and defensive team. Houston though also had a tough schedule in their last games left so it will be interesting to see them playing great specially if they are teh underdogs.
They've got a good lead during the first half but the home team made a comeback rally in the 2nd half and take another home win, I agree with your observation, CP3 still have his skills but in terms of defense with taller and quicker players he became a liability, bringing him and Curry together is a risk that the oppossing team may take advantage, though they can guard up but the 2nd chance points that where the competition, Gobert take that advantage as he has a double- double performances here.
No offense with CP3 the chance of having a ring with the Warriors might be too far or the chance is slim, as even the play-in is not secure yet, Rockets is shadowing them and the chance of snatching the last spot can happen.

As for the Rockets, they are continuing their winning streak, and looking at their remaining games, most of them are against bottom teams already compare to the Warriors that has a harder schedule than them. TBH, I'm thinking that the Rockets might end up getting that 10th spot or even the 9th if they continue to play like this. Surprisingly, they are doing this without Sengun. I guess it's a blessing in disguise for the team because players like Jalen Green and others are stepping up, still fighting for that play-in spot.
It is indeed very surprising that they are doing this without Sengun. I find it almost incredible that how these players are playing now, compare to 1-2 months ago or even last year. It almost seems like something magical has happened. That being said, they were up against some relatively easy teams and managed to got the Ws but they are in the mood now, they will probably continue having a streak. They play with a different tactic without Sengun, which is very normal. There is only one reason for their new success, and that is that they started to made threes. Last month they shot so badly that it was very difficult for them to win games in the nba.The Warriors? I guess I like to bet on them to make it to the playoffs, if there's an odds, I like to see. Also, I checked the championships odds in the last few days and I see the Warriors having an odds of x45, guess it's very attractive, what do you think?

Let me check the odds for yah.. Here (https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/basketball/usa/nba/nba-23-24-6490d1eb11281ad1f2fbdce3).. you can see that it's already at x46.. it has increase by 1 after that loss probably. Now is the time to bet on the Warriors if we feel confident they are gonna win the NBA Finals.
Aside from the Warriors, I also love the Maverics to win the title with x31 currently. They are just a great team now, I have nothing to say against their performance and I liked them more because they are healthy.

Rockets are likely to make the play-in anyway, Warriors will be out. The Warriors can win very few of their remaining games. The interesting thing is that the Mavericks are very decisive here. Both teams will play the Mavericks twice. The Rockets and Warriors also play each other. It's almost certain that the Rockets will pass the Warriors.
They win with VanVleet and Green without Şengün. Jeff Green is also making the maximum contribution from the bench. We've watched so many Rockets games this season that we have memorized the team's game. They found a way to win even without Şengün. 8 wins in a row is a great achievement and it will probably continue.

At least it will be a great opportunity for the young team. Jalen Green has been playing great in their winning streak and becoming the new leader as far as scoring goes.
There were even memes of him that he became Michael Jordan when he is ordered to pay for child support, Lol.
But let's see how the Warriors will respond, if they didn't make it to the 10th and fight for a slot in a the playoff, there could be big changes for them next season.

Last month they shot so badly that it was very difficult for them to win games in the nba. Meanwhile, how about the Rockets continue the surge, they won today, win streak improved to 8 and they are very close to the Warriors in standing.
Yeah, the Rockets are becoming a problem for the Warriors. By the way, the Rockets will probably win the next game the same way because they will be playing vs. the Blazers, while the Warriors' next opponent will be the Wolves, which means the Warriors will have a hard time winning.
That would be hard for them tomorrow, because even if the Wolves loss KAT, they are still playing great, 6-4 on their last 10 while the Warriors are 4-6. Right now, it's only the hope that the Warriors will be in the playoffs that is keeping them and we think they really are good since they were a championship team but we have get real here, this team is struggling especially against a good team, so I think Warriors will loss again.
It's an important game for the Warriors since the standing for the 10th position is now close, a game away from the Rockets and their next assignment is against the Wolves who we are seeing great improvements, as even KAT is not around Edwards and the rest of the squad is really bringing the damage, they are complete in terms of players who can provide good help for Edwards, while with GSW, they are doing the same system and it will be depends from how the core players will play.
Still got the numbers of games that might change the whole standing in the west side, teams who have that strong desire to move in the next round will need to push their way in winning their remaining games.
Bol Bol got the best of Wemby tonight. I think Bol is underestimated and deserves more minutes. He got a funny clip tonight too… Phoenix is going to be dangerous in the playoffs.
He's been getting good minutes recently, looks like he already found a team that had unleash his true potential, but like i mentioned above,Well then, forget about that but as long as he's there in the Suns to play for them and his contract not yet expiring soon. That's what's important as of now.
I believe Luka and company will make them cry...
