What a great game from Mavs and Nuggets.
I thought Dallas already won that from the last shot of Maxi Kleber downtown but Jokic won't just give up taking the game to overtime.
Doncic just lack 1 more rebound for another triple-double game.
Jokic scored the same with 38 points. These two teams are really fun to watch.

Exactly, Jokic bring the game to OT and his teammates reaction is like they won the game, haha.. unfortunately they lose in the overtime, Doncic did a great job of carrying his team for a win, and I like what Dallas are doing even without KP, so more to expect when KP is back.

Jokic is special, he is in the top 5 in assists and rebounds this season.

It's pretty rare to see a big man who are good in assist, Denver lucky to have Jokic, and though they seem not consistent thus far in the regular season but as long as they will enter the playoffs, they'll be a tough team to beat.

The motivation for the players is likely to change knowing that their franchise is about to be sold very soon. But as long as they are under a contract and they are paid for those contracts, I think they should only think about the league and not about the franchise.

Disagree with the first part but agree with the following one.

I don't think a player's motivation will change for that kind of issue. They care for their career and being a professional one, they need to play their best at whichever team regardless of the plan in the future. Players build and improve their stats as a part of their career profile and that issue shouldn't affect their performance.

Selling the franchise will not totally rebrand the whole team if decided. It's just a change owner and most likely, not much changes will be made by the new owners.

Correct it's just a change of ownership but there's still a risk that big changes will happen, hopefully players are still comfortable despite knowing that their team is for sale or will be sold to a new owner. There are some teams in the NBA that was sold before, and I guess they are still doing good until now.

If the salary stay the same even the franchise change it's ownership players will continue to play.

They are hired to play and to entertained, nothing to look upon as long as the onwers are paying them the right amount, the entire
squad should actively provide what the owners are asking them, it's a give and take work from both side.

Paul George definitely plays like he wasn't affected before the shoulder injury, but after the shoulder injury he hasn't been really himself. We all know his year with OKC where he got MVP votes, he wasn't even close to being MVP but he got some votes at least. Whereas since he came to Clippers he sucked big time so far, we all joked about the side board shot too, which is why I think its quite important to find what type of injury affects, dude broke his leg in half and came back awesome, had a minor shoulder injury and sucked.

Also let's be honest with each other, Fultz was never really as good as the guys in the list, Derrick Rose? That dude was youngest MVP in history of NBA, how could you compare him to Fultz? And all others on the list played very well too. Just because Fultz were seen as a potentially good player and got injured few times doesn't mean he was ever good, he just had potential to be good.

I dont think they were comparing his game to those guys just that those guys returned to be able to play (rose never the same albeit dude was nasty pre injury). But the kid is only 22 years old and has raised his pig and assists pretty much every year. Hope for a speedy recovery for em, hate to see carrers get shortened by these things. The league is diluted enough.

Just like a popular team that went through passive and became weak for seasons, time will come to them that they'll also be recognized again. The lineup could be fine by now but still, that's not enough to bring home the bacon. Well, if Glen has to sell it for himself, he'll do it. That's part of his investment and business but as long as there will be a willing taker for the team and to have new management for the franchise, the team shall keep moving.

Hopefully this will be sold soon, it does not help to a team knowing the owner is selling it, it does not help build confidence and feel secured on entire team's side. Though this is just normal, there's still an indication that the team are not selling anymore, reason the owner sold it already, and we can understand since the timing is quite unquestionable.

The motivation for the players is likely to change knowing that their franchise is about to be sold very soon. But as long as they are under a contract and they are paid for those contracts, I think they should only think about the league and not about the franchise. Although we understand that some of the players might be thinking of a stable stay on the team and that's why if it changes it hands, there's a chance that there will be an entire shuffle.

It was amazing seeing Markelle Fultz lead a team to victory finally. What happened to his jumpshot is one of the strangest mysteries in sports. I've never seen someone suffer from such a mental block, except maybe Charles Barkley when it comes to golfing...

So sad to see Markelle blew out his ACL and will be done for the season now. He was just starting to find himself again and look like a top draft pick. At least he signed a good contract before this happened, because with his mental struggles previously I'm not sure how he'll be able to handle recovery from an ACL. A lot of people are never able to get back to near what they were before, with one famous exception being Dominique Wilkins.

I'm seeing another Drose in Fultz. I agree, Markelle is quite starting up again after the shoulder issue. I watched some of his recent games and yeah, I could I say he's back. Tough loss for the Magics but greater hurt to him, He'll be missing the remainder of the season and most likely half a season next year or worst he'll be advise to sit out for the rest of 2022 season as well.

We'll tbh, He could ask Drose for an advise for this as they have now both experienced the same injury. I think Rose, would be a great help for Fultz (given that they're from different team) but advises makes a difference.

Hoping that he could bounce back again on this one.

Lots of serious injury we have witnessed already but some players able to come back. I don't know the exact injures but I can name some of the players that we thought they are done after a serious injury.

1-Paul George
2-Gordon Hayward
3-Kevin Durant

These players are playing like they did not get injured, I mean they are not affected a lot if there is.

Oh yeah, I forgot about them George and hayward's injuries are a mess. But yeah, I'd agree those players still dominates the league. High hope still for Fultz.

I also, remember Livington's injury in '07 and yet still plays a lot better years after that gruesome injury.

It'll still up to Fultz to motivate himself after this.

Livingston was a miracle he even played again. He had the goods to be one of the best before that injury. Height skills and his game was silky smooth. Real high in too always made the right play. Orlando was looking good too. Not saying they won't continue but this is a big hit for them. Never like to see a kid go down like that especially with how his career started and where he is now. Hopefully next year he will be right where he left off.

Philadelphia 76ers played a home game against Washington Wizards last night. 76ers beat Wizards 141-136 and it was like we watched an All-Star game. 76ers ended the first half 15 points ahead (82-67). Wizards tried to make a comeback and played quite good in the second half but that wasn't enough for winning. On 76ers side, J. Embiid played really good and he got 38 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. S. Curry got 28 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. B. Simmons made a double-double (17 points, 12 assists). On Wizards side, B. Beal was awesome and he was the player of the game surely. He got 60 points (career-high), 7 rebounds and 5 assists. R. Westbrook made a double-double (20 points, 12 assists).

You see how balance the sixers now, Curry has been a big factor already, they have good 3 point shooters, Curry and Green really are a good addition to the team. Their offense are good but at the same time they can also play good defense, I'm seeing this team will lead in the East, better than the Bucks for sure.

It's just too bad we won't see him anymore this season, he was contributing to this team and his stats are very much consistently improving.

He is still young, he can recover so we can expect him to come back soon....next season, but that is soon.

Although the Washington Wizard was dominating the play in the first 3 quarters, the Philadelphia 76ers manage to snatch the win in the last minutes of the game. Joel Embiid displays a very promising performance. also, Beal got 60 points from this game despite their loss.

Indeed a great performance for Beal. Last time was Curry with 62 points.
Monster offensive games for these guys. Expecting Beal could keep that up and I am sure they will get a win next time.

It's just not good that they didn't win. Another notable player was Gordon Hayward, he scored 44 points and gave his team a win against the Atlanta Hawks. We thought signing him was a bad move by the Hornets, but it looks like he was a blessing to the team.

That's a championship contender and favorite team to watch this season I'll never doubt they can be a top team in the East this regular season maybe by coming months when there's lot of games already played. Brooklyn is just 2nd from Milwaukee in Points/Game with a team averaging 119ppg. Maybe if we see 20+ or 30+ games.

I think I have said it before.
It is not just about Durant and Kyrie in there. It's their roleplayers when they are not around.
LeVert and Allen proved it even with a defensive team like Jazz. I am now ecstatic about what will happen in the playoffs.

Houston NEEDS to start winning i think they school pacers in a blowout (over 8 point win),

I believe that, I got them to win at 11+ with a decent odds, so I'm counting on them, after a loss, I think they'll bounce back hard and they'll have a win with some big margin, good luck bro, let's get it on.

Good catch, as houston loses with only 7 points margin.

They'll still losing their games seems like harden is no longer interested in winning, he's far from those stats when he still as scoring
champ! Wall can't carry this team as the ball needs to rotate to Harden without he's scoring mentality even Wall will triple he's productions
it's tough for the team to win the game.

That was a bad catch, lol... Rockets didn't win and they got schooled. haha..

How about the Warriors. Clippers seemed to made a great job to defend Curry, after exploding it the last 2 games, Curry only manage to score 13 points in the game against the Clippers. the formula seems simple, limit curry and they'll lose.
