They will be back soon, they might miss some games but if they are healthy most of the regular season, I think they'll be a tough competitor in the playoffs. Sixers had a good start under Doc Rivers, I'm feeling so positive for them this season, they might be in the NBA Finals as they have the talent and a great coach.
Oh, I was not updated with the trade. So Embid is already at team sixers. Well, he has shown and done well at Milwakee and I think it is better for him to try another team that might fit him in or could make a lot of help from other players especially in crucial gamed and time play. Embid was one of the great players in the basket after other superstar players like Lebron. Hopefully he will be able to get what he want this season like getting a  championship game.

He was never traded, he is a franchise player of the sixers, he played with this team from 2016-2017 season until now.

you can see his record in https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/e/embiijo01.html

It doesn't look like the 76ers team without Embiid or Simmons on the floor.
Then, you see Howard and Danny Green out there. It's just different.  Grin
They tried to hold the Nuggets with their second team but not enough.

Regarding the stars of 76ers missing the game.
76ers' Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons to miss game against Nuggets due to injury
Good news: Tested negative with Covid19.

I want to see those people compete in the court with their complete players but right now, they cannot do that since the others need to be quarantined. I thought this whole pandemic thing has already done last year, it looks so bad when we are not even getting close to 20 games and this is what happened to those players. I think they need to tighten the security because if the whole team don't play in a day, that would be a problem that so much to handle.

I guess Ty Lue is about to get fired again.
Blame game once again.  Grin
They won't admit it was the players who have problems.
Maybe they just can't work with each other. Well, it's still early. If the same thing happens in playoffs then I bet they will also overhaul their roster.

A new season-high for Tyler Herro with a win against the Wizards.
It was an exhausting game to watch for the Wizards but I could see their efforts. Great game.

Yeah it's the blame game, and we usually blame the coach in case the team is not doing better but credit to the players if the team is successful, where's the justice here? Tyron Lue has a championship experience and he won a championship, so I guess this guy is really capable of running a team successfully.

it's a very challenging task for him as Doc Rivers is one of the best coach in the NBA, and he replaced him.

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

This is impressive number by the young ball and he deserve to be placed at starting line up since for sure he can contribute more to the team if he will replaced graham.

Also its really tragic part for Markelle fultz to suffer that season ending injury since he is in his best season so far and his performance became good compare to the other season but now he's been stopped due to injury hopefully he can recover and can able to get back in good shape next season.

I'm happy for this guy, at least we are not wrong with our expectation, his brother has disappointed us but he is showing how to play the right basketball. I believe he is very comfortable of getting triple double even every night, and I'm sure the coaching staff have trusted him already.

Out of all the games tonight I lile 4 of them:

Detroit at home +8
Knicks at home (now) -2.5
Golden state at home +6.5 (think gs played them tough before this one im considering a ML with real nice odds)
Sacramento at home +5

Heavy on the first three, less on sac.  Thoughts??

I also like the knicks game under 211.5

Riding my homerism  Cheesy

3-2 tonight.

Starting tonight will make 5 picks a night and see how this goes for 2 weeks.  Will make all even bets, minus vig will see how this goes.

Starting tonight am 3-2.  Tomorrow is another day Smiley

Today's picks.  Thoughts?

1)Heavy on Bucks -12.5 (I'd take this one up to 16 i think this will be a blowout tonight)
2) under Bucks game 221; hedge against the spread.  If the Bucks have a poor shooting night and don't cover than I have the under as the hedge
3) Dallas -6 at home against the magic. 
4) miami, wash game over 230.5. This one is going to be a run and gun game i think.  Can see a 125-115 kind of game
5) pacers -2.5 at home.  Suns are good i just like pacers at home on this one.

2week streak: 3-2


1)L not by much and giannks was listed out after the pick.
2)W
3)W
4)W
5)L

3-2 today and 6-4 last 2 days.  Will pick another 5 tomorrow.

I guess Ty Lue is about to get fired again. They already had a couple of a very bad losses this season, and had the worst record in a halftime deficit. I guess everyone was right about how the Clippers was built, just to beat the Lakers, in the opening night lol.
While on the other hand, Steph Curry is looking great early this season. His game is slowly becoming mature as he is attempting to carry his team on his back with Klay out of for the season.


Ty Lue won't be fired, Clippers still have a good record despite of the loses, not a good a idea to fire him for now, they just have to learn and learn until their team matures and will be consistent especially when they are in a big lead, I believe the guys playing are just talented enough, it's the coaching job is the problem.

Yeah that's the problem, the coaching is the problem. When your team is as good as the Clippers and you can't even hold on to a big lead, or even worst down by 50 points at the half. Man, that's a terrible coaching. Regardless of how good their record is, that's already expected because again these players are talented.
I don't know, but If Doc Rivers was not a good coach for the Clippers, then I guess Ty Lue is even worse.

Well somehow, you're right they needed more time to gel out everything and work as a winning team. Let's see how he handles the Clippers.

Ty Lue  has one season to prove that, he was just an assistant coach of Doc Rivers and took over, just like when he took over the Cavaliers when David Blatt was fired and they won a championship but in the next season the team struggles. We don't know, maybe Ty Lue will help Clippers win a championship and then got fired by next season, haha.

What about the tandem of KD and Irving. They are once playing against each other in the championship game from Cavs vs GSW. I did not expect that they will going to team up each other in a team. However, I do not like their tandem. I would better have Irving or KD rather than two of them present in the court. Both guys just wanted to shoot and score. Irving has lot of miss baskets and KD also had gone injuries and I do not know if he can still win a championship game. Hopefully they will going to work together.

You're right that both want a score, and they will throw the ball as much as possible. In this case, Irving and KD can have some problems sharing the ball among themselves. Also, the Nets' coach is Steve Nash, and it is the first season for him as a head coach. I mean, it's hard to manage two top players on the court.

The main players are new, they need some adjustment and I'm sure they can do that, we are just in the early stage of the regular season, I think it's possible for them to adjust and build that good chemistry for the team. While Nets are still struggling wit their chemistry, I think betting against them is the nice thing to do than complaining. Grin
A wise suggestion and i agree on that observation about not really good on chemistry of both main players but as mentioned we are still on the start of the new season which means those kind of problems or flaws
that can be seen not only limited to KD and irving but other players as well then they would really be making up some adjustments later on.

Chemistry and entire team cooperation or harmony cant really be get in few plays and this will really be needing some time for them to collaborate.

If they would both do able to adjust when it comes to passing and shooting taking opportunities then this tandem isnt really something that you can let pass.

It's also necessary that coach will be able to adjust here, as mentioned coach is new as well, therefore a lot of adjustment are necessary, maybe we just got hype because of their good start in the season but here's their real situation, they are still very unpredictable.

I hope the Nets can improve and have a better knowledge into the team and also, Wesbrook "fits well" in Washington Wizards!!

It's just a 1 point game lost so I don't think that word "improve" should be used here for the Nets. It's just unfortunate that Irving and Durant missed some clutch shots.

Treat is another common game wherein even the considered underdog team can also win.

And it's entertaining as well as we want that intense on that game.
well, yeah, at that point i agree with you @chaser15.
But I think that in the future they will improve the clutch shots, they came back from an injury, and they also stopped for a while because of the coronavirus.

In basketball anything can happen!!

Yes, that's true.
I don't understand what happened with the Clippers.
Is the GSW team really better than them or are they still not synchronized?

New coach, some new players especially Ibaka which could absolutely help in their chemistry but it's like the star duo are really hard-headed.
I am not concluding it yet but it looks like they are strong individually and not as a team.
That is why they are defeated by GSW as a team.

I guess Ty Lue is about to get fired again. They already had a couple of a very bad losses this season, and had the worst record in a halftime deficit. I guess everyone was right about how the Clippers was built, just to beat the Lakers, in the opening night lol.
