Well the knicks are finally looking like a competent basketball organization. My over 23 wins for the season is looking good so far. They have won some great games along the way so far, 20 point win against Bucks, beat the hawks, and beat the pacers on the road. Cant believe im saying this but they just might be a .500 ball club Cheesy

Hopefully this is a good season for them, they have a good start, an improvement I should say but let's hope they'll show some consistency all throughout the season, this team has been a shitty team for so many season, maybe they'll be a complete changed team this season.

Agreed. Finally a coach that is holding his team accountable. He gets in everyone's face if they mess up, he doesn't play favorites. These games have been the best defense I've seen the knicks play in 15 years. Play defense and you always have a shot. Mo way they can just out offense everyone. Excited finally for their future.

As expected Lakers took the win too with this one and manage to get their 3rd straight win. it was a tough battle since Memphis is not backing off either. the last quarter was intense both teams are getting score until the last minute and the Lakers took control though Lakers need to works on their offensive play since they are missing some open shots in this game. maybe just little miss communication from players but overall they've done a good job beating the Memphis to get their 3rd straight win.

No God or Kings, only BITCOIN.

What a performance displayed by Kyrie Irving just for the first quarter of the game "18 pts, 3 reb, 3 ast, 7/7 FG & 4/4 3P". Looks like the clutch Irving is back, do it Uncle Drew.

There are some news about potential Minnesota Timberwolves sale as longtime owner Glen Taylor is negotiating with buyers and estimate sale price was $1.5 Billion in November 2020.
Minnesota is now in very bad form, lost last four and now they play with Denver Nuggets.
This should be easy win for Denver Nuggets.

Here's the article. (https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2021/01/latest-on-potential-sale-of-timberwolves.html)
Very sad to know for the team that the franchise is for sale. The owner is hoping for it to see a higher value soon. But if there will be someone to buy it, for sure it's another popular name that we know.

Maybe this team will improve under a new ownership, so it's okay to have a new owner as this might be a fresh start for them. This team has now tank based on what I see, KAT give some hope to this team but he needs more talents to help him, and it didn't happen.

Houston Rockets played a home game against Dallas Mavericks last night. Rockets got their first home loss this season (100-113). On Rockets side, Harden made a double-double (21 points and 10 assists). C. Wood got 23 points, 7 rebounds and E. Gordon got 20 points, 5 rebounds. On Mavericks side, Doncic was awesome and I think he was the player of the game surely. He made a triple-double (33 points, 16 rebounds and 11 assists). T. Hardaway got 30 points and 7 rebounds.

Just when everyone is bashing Curry and saying he can’t lead a team... Wow. He now has a higher career high than LeBron, Giannis, Harden, Kawhi and many others. What a perfect time for him to have a breakout game. Too bad Klay had to get injured. As others have shown though, great of him to immediately congratulate his brother. Great night for NBA basketball.

Man I have to agree with the hate Curry had when he lost both Durant and Klay on their normal rotation. But yeah he needs to step up when all matters now. He's been the face of the franchise since Monta Ellis. Actually, this year will be a good year for Steph, he gets the chance to prove the doubters wrong, and is capable of carrying his team to secure a playoff spot. We'll just hope he stays healthy all throughout the 2021 season. Though the Western Conference are stacked with a great team, but securing a playoff spot would be a great accomplishment for the GSW.

I'm surprised with the Warriors performance, they were so dominant in the last two games.
Won by 31 points against the Kings, that was really impressive, and the better news is that they are already back in the playoff ranking spot.

I wish they'll continue to play this kind of basketball, this is their brand, they should be consistent with this.

Curry only made 30 points in this game, but it's alright as everyone was contributing.

Yeah, we were wrong, Curry is the same Curry that brought the GSW to the NBA Finals and won. You see how fun they are playing, they have a good chemistry now and I can see the same old warriors who are moving the ball very well. Hopefully they'll be consistent all through the season, and prove the doubters wrong by getting a playoff spot.

What do you think are their chances?

This dude broke the records of three pointers and then some like nobody has seen. Before Curry started to make three point shots something very common and can be done in huge volumes, Ray Allen was the person with the most threes in a year, and that was 269 threes in a season, you know what Curry has? 402, yes that's right, he not only took 269 and broke over 300, he broke over 400 at the same time. Even James Harden who is a big time three pointer now, couldn't get there, and this dude has 3 of the best three pointer seasons in the top 5, HALF of top 10 as well.

So, I think we have to give him the fact that he was and still is one of the best players in the league offensively, sure he may not be awesome on defense, but when it comes to scoring, there are rarely any players who can score like him, but also draw defense to him as well, he starts to get defended by half court, when gets closer he gets doubled or even triple teamed. That's talent.

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

They are that of an "improved" team I suppose and yeah I do agree that every losses they get they'll improve so do these other teams, losses are part of the game, there just been some rooms of mistakes been caught by the Nets. Westbrook tend to lift a team but let's see if he could bring the Wizards to playoffs this year 2021 as it already missed 2 consecutive appearances.

Big win for the Warriors.
Are they back? Even without Klay?
Looks like they are forming great chemistry now.

I see the Draymond pick and roll with Steph and giving a lot of options with wide open 3 pointers.
23/43 in the three-point field. That's freaking 53 percent which is high.
41 assists. That just means the ball keeps on moving.
Now the question. Can they keep this up?

I was surprised when I learn that LeBron and Harden's career high was only 61 points. Kudos to Curry for doing 62.
That's cause he's the only scoring option in Warriors now, no Durant, no Thompson. He can use ball all the time. His good field goal percentage made this score.
We might see more from him this season. There is no expectation for Warriors, no pressure for Curry.

I wouldn't characterize 61 points career high as "only" as that's quite a lot actually.

All-time list of career high can be misleading. If you exclude Wilt Chamberlain and his crazy numbers as that was completely different era and on top of that he was by far most dominant player, and if you exclude last Kobe Bryant game when he scored 81 but that was more like an all star game than serious competitive game, there aren't many games in which players scored more in modern times. Beside Booker scoring 70 and Jordan 69, all others scored maybe few more points in the last 30-40 years.

I do agree with the other part of the post, it is nice to see Curry back, and therefore Warriors. If Thompson didn't get injured yet again, they would be formidable force this season, but without him even playoff would be success and then whatever happens, happens.

The Philadelphia 76ers have been outstanding on their game today where they continue to maintain their record as the best team in the Eastern Conference or probably in the whole NBA this season. I think Dwight Howard's addition to the team was good enough to make them one of the best competitors in this season.

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.

Yeah right! consider this as an ordinary game where luck didn't backed them up.

Good game for WB as he showcase his capabilities to bring good blends with Beal and Hachimura, if they continue playing like this there would be more games to win, the season still early it's just a good blends of players to play together and win each games.

Yeah, it's just one game and a very close one, probably the breaks didn't go on their way. But definitely, Irving and Durant are playing high level basketball so I don't know if there are things that needed to be improve as Durant has comeback just like he didn't have that "career ending injury".

One thing though is that as early at this time, teams are really pushing very hard, they know that the the regular games have been reduced so they started to play hard so we might see a lot of close games.

Brooklyn Nets played a home game against Washington Wizards last night. It was a so close game and the last minutes were really exciting. Wizards beat Nets 123-122. In both teams, there were 3 players who made double-double. On Nets side, Irving got 30 points, 10 assists and 5 rebounds. Durant got 28 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists. J. Allen got 14 points and 11 rebounds. On Wizards side, Beal got 27 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. Westbrook got 24 points, 10 assists and 5 rebounds. T. Bryant got 21 points and 14 rebounds.

Hmmmm, thank you so much for this information @ILuckyGuyI.
I just watched part of the game and I missed some moves.

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

^^ And they have the best sports doctor out there, so no doubt that it will help a lot during his rehab and recovery. However, there are athletes that didn't really recover despite in the advancement of sport medicine, maybe everyone react differently.

@yazher - I agree, the Warriors are really a different team now, so they really need a lot of help and hope that Klay will provide that again.

Yes, don't doubt that, NBA sports medicine is certainly one of the best in the world. But recovery does not depend only on doctors, other factors interfere, as each player has different recoveries.

What did you think of this game, Nets vs Wizards? Kyrie and Durant could have turned the tables on the last few moments, but it didn't work, could they improve in the future?

Definitely they'll improve, Durant and Irving have a look and attempt to win but they didn't shoot the ball, that's normal in a game, at least they played a really competitive game which is very entertaining to watch, don't worry they are still in the playoff picture.
