Warriors won again in a thrilling game.

I like how they mature, they can come back anytime and win games.
Congratulations to them, for another win.
Most important thing for Warriors is that they managed to win the game despite Curry having a horrendous game. You won't see shim shooting 2-16 and Warriors wining anyway too often. They showed some good team basketball, with 7 players being in double digits.



Gotta vent a bit in regard to my countrymen Zubac and his situation in Clippers. After Doc Rivers got replaced with Tyronn Lue and Montrezl Harrell left them for Lakers, I kinda expected that this will be his year and that he will finally get some decent minutes but unfortunately I was wrong. Once again he is 2nd option behind Ibaka, who is obviously  better defensive player, but Zubac is young, can score and is a great rim protector. He should have been treated as a future of Clippers and not some rotation player.

In the last shot of the Raptors, I can't believe why the play was on Siakam to take the last shot..  Cry
Warriors got a lot of lead in the 3rd quarter but the Raptors took it to close with the 4th quarter up until they became the leading in the score.

The last remaining seconds was intense. It's for Raptors until the foul was called which gave points for the Warriors, I thought that Siakam will get inside the ring for the last remaining seconds and not a shot. Well played for both though.

The best part. They already surpassed their delusional father.  Grin
The moment they got to NBA that's the moment they surpassed him (fact), the best thing is his sons aren't talking that much, unlike their father that looks like a clown with some of what he says.

This is amazing.  Him and his brother have both been the youngest players in NBA history to score a triple double.  Lonzo did it to pass LeBron James as the youngest NBA player to record a triple double.  I'll admit that I didn't think the Ball brothers would make it in the NBA based on their Dad's delusions, but these 2 are killing it.  A shame Gelo hasn't had the same luck.  It's all been downhill for him since the China stealing incident.
Bad start but now getting better.
Expectations are being proved correct now.
I like this kid. He put effort into making great plays for his teammates.
Yeah, he might be one of those rookies that could do all around positions. More like Doncic.
Even with his bad shooting style, he can shoot 3/5 at 3 point line. Nice.
He's different, he may surpass his brother soon.

The winning catch is most of its players are contributing to the game and averaging 10+ points for their seven players, looks like Draymond Green has most of its contribution just one piece of the pie he'd got that 3ple-double. Looks like a wrong play they've executed they should have let it to Vanvleet or Lowry (why the heck Lowry did the inbound?) but that shot was good it but not enough as it rolls out on the ring, it should have been a top play if it has been counted.

I really start to believe that Bulls can make the play-offs this year as the city itself seems to have a new fresh air when it comes to sports. Look at NFL right now , Bears are playing after such a long time into play-offs and it wouldn't be a surprised if they win the game. So why can't Bulls reach the play-offs aswell ? They have a strong and skilled team , with a good coach and the biggest fan support around the world and also a great start of the season besides the previous ones.

Bulls are going to be one of the bottom teams.  They really don't have a good team at all.  Maybe they win some random games but over 70-80 games they will end up with 2030 wins.  They will most likely be underdogs as far as moneyline (or w/l) for the whole season and should be.

That's nice for the bulls backers as they have been giving good fight against any opponent. In the last 2 days, the faced the toughest teams in the West, they all lose but they cover the spread, it means it's very profitable betting on them.

LaMelo Ball had a career night. He is the youngest player to do a triple double in NBA history now at age 19 years and 140 days. While their team Charlotte Hornets beat Atlanta Hawks 113-105, LaMelo Ball had 22 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists.

Previous record was from Markelle Fultz at 19 years and 317 days. Fultz closed the season after his knee injury two days ago by the way. Sad
Well, this is an expressive number, I would never have imagined that LaMelo would be "able to fit" into the NBA, even break the record and become the youngest player in NBA history to perform a triple double, he is playing very well in the league.

He was able to adjust after a bad start and it looks like this team now has become a playoff team. They are underdog in their last few games but they still keep winning, soon enough they'll get the respect of the people and the bookies if they remain consistent.
Yes, I agree with you @Ziskinberg, Hornets have great potential and can grow in the future.
I don't know if Hornets is already a playoff team, in my humble opinion he needs to improve a little more to be a competitive team.

We'll see how Lamelo and Hornets will perform during the season.

Bulls currently ranked at number 12 in the East. (https://www.nba.com/standings) Honestly, I don't think they'll be in the playoffs this season, Lavine is good but some teams have 2 or more superstars, if they'll get into the playoffs, I'd say that's because of luck here. They are playing well, we can see that, but playoffs is a different story.

It's early to check standings. Only 10 games are played.
2 more wins get you the play-off spot.

I was just saying, yeah, I know it's too early but bulls are not really getting into the top 8 spot in the last few seasons, maybe if they started strong, like the Suns are doing now, I might be convince they have a chance to be in the playoffs. Other team which are out of the top 8 now that I believe will be in the playoffs is the Rockets and they have a different case with Bulls, it's my personal opinion only by the way.

It seems covid stroke Dallas Mavericks. Already last game 3 players were missing since they needed to quarantine.    Dorian Finney-Smith,    Josh Richardson and    Jallen Brunson. Now there is news also Maxi Kleber will have to quarantine. Together with Porzingis this are 3 first unit players and two that usually fist come from the bench. If it will continue like this, soon even Mavs 2-way players will have to show what they are made of.

Spurs have been playing really awesome this year, they are already 5-4 and they have shown that they are a changed team all together. I personally am a fan of them so it may sound like I am biased but I have said not too many nice things about Spurs last year, whereas this year they look like they are doing very well.

I think young players are developing amazingly, specially Dejounte, but it is still mainly LMA and Derozan and Mills that brings the team into a high gear, without them we would be nothing, however we would have a huge contract void which would be filled one way or another. I think if spurs continues with the go inside and dish out system for longer, I am sure they will get somewhere, offensively we are doing ok, but the defense was the most important thing that improved this year and this success is definitely because of that defensive hard work.

^ Yup, LaMelo has been balling thus far, he almost got a triple-double vs the Pels and his brother the other day, was just one assist shy, i guess it was only a matter of time before he gets his first, and given that he is a natural at rebounding, there will be a lot more to come.

2020 draft class might actually be a pretty good one with Edwards, Haliburton, LaMelo, Wiseman, and a few other kids that are showing potential.
