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.

Nets aren't consistent, yes it was a close game but it also makes nets suffer on their 2nd losing streak, after a good start, and we are seeing this? Fans are sure disappointed with this. Philadelphia 76ers is the most consistent team in the East so far, with only 1 loss and 5 wins, they top in the standing, while I'm a bit shocked that Milwaukee Bucks are setting in the 8 spot which we normally see in the top 1.

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.

^^ 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?

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.

I was also amazed by Steph Curry's big 62 Points career-high but leading a team can't be singled out in just one game.

But I'm concerned about Curry putting up big numbers like that. It really means that the Warriors will have a hard time throughout the season as Curry needs to double his loads on every game which is not his usual compared to Warriors when the time their good role players are still there.

His teammates should try to ride the hotness of Steph Curry on every game. In their recent match, some of the Warriors also did a good job. But unfortunately, Draymond Green just made 1 point throughout in 28 minutes of his playing time and playing with no defense. Maybe still adjusting after recovering from Covid-19.

The 62 point creates huge noise in all media outlets as well in social media networks and this is a big slap to the person who doubt his capabilities and curry proves that he's still the best shooter in the league.

I'm also worried about curry since seems like they don't have any other option in terms of scoring since wiggins is seasonal player and doesn't have an impact. The game is different when curry is setting in the bench that's why his teammates should step up since if they will make curry take all the loads he might get a serious injury.

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?

Curry got a new career high with 62 points and it helped to win against  the Blazers who dominated them in their previous game.
Wow!, Curry is really back, his shooting is very precise and when he has a hot hands, it keeps going and going and in this game, he was really unstoppable.

https://www.nba.com/warriors/gameday/20210103/recap

Did anyone bet on the Warriors after the previous match? It would be interesting to know what the initial odds were for their victory.
Anyway, Curry's performance looks great, but Green was more useful with 1 point (I'm kidding). Grin


Green had 8 assists, that department is one of his strength, he is good at it and he is also a good defender, so he doesn't need to score to be effective in the court. I'm not sure what the odds for the ML but they were +4.5 AFAIR.

But this one is a good odds.

Looks like the Lakers got their 3rd straight win with Memphis, Do you think they are already synchronizing to each other when they play on the court now? It seems like everything was going well for them this season. just look at the score.



Some NBA fans say the Lakers roster before was better, which I automatically didn't agree. Though they started slow by lossing against their rival city Clippers, but I don't think that does define how the Lakers would play this season.
Infact, the Lakers looks really scary this season. They have a good starter, and have almost equally good bench players.
Harrel and Schröder acquisition is enough to say the Lakers has a huge shot on back to back championship.

They have a lot of good addition this season, as we can see, they are rotating their players very well, and that makes them very productive. Mark Gasol played 23:40 minutes, and Harrell 20;00 minutes. Also, don't forget they got Wesley Matthews which is a good shooter, he was 4-6 from beyond the arc in this win.

He broke Klay's record, and Klay is happy, there's a positive competition between the two, they are even competitors in the 3 point contest in all star, so you can really tell they form that bond and they are close.

I was watched the game and I saw the old Curry, he was shooting 3 point effortlessly, and it sunk most of the time.

Blazers were good but they had no answer on Curry, and this is a big win after they loss by over 20 points.

I just read that Harden wants to be traded to Nets to join the "dream team" that they're having there, however, the chances are kinda slight to none as Nets don't want him and Houston cannot hold him anymore so it will be funny to watch where Harden will finally go. In my opinion it might be a team that doesn't fight for the play-offs...
I read that yesterday too and I saw a lot of reactions from different people including his former coach Mike D'Antoni.
It might also be the reason why the trade will not happen anymore.

Bad start but they are now getting some progress with their chemistry.
Lebron and AD are just too much to handle.  Cheesy

It was an awful moment for both Houston and Harden.

If he won't play that hard then for sure this team will be out of this season as early as expected. They needed to settle this or trade him, for me Sixers will be a better destination for him if they can offer good compensation or a good deal for both parties.

Harden's decision might change because the Rockets is playing well so far, John wall had a 2-0 start this season and I hope Harden appreciate that, take John Wall as a teammate not a competitor, if he is looking for a good team, I think it's already here as even the young guns of the Rockets are performing beyond expectation, Christian Wood has been a key for their success also.
