Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant is back but they got a big loss against Hawks at home. One more time we saw this small rotation would not be enough for Brooklyn this year.
They have to bring more veteran players to make squad stronger. They get almost no help from bench players. I think they need at least 2 good shooters in bench. All work can't be done by starting 5.
You need to look at their stats! They had a terrible 3-point shooting performance, and I think that it is one of the main reasons why the Brooklyn Nets lost this match. Durant and Irving made only 4 of 18 from the 3pt line. Undecided

Golden State Warriors played a home game against Portland Trail Blazers yesterday. I must admit that I wasn't expecting a game like this. Warriors was demolished by Portland (123-98). On Warriors side, S. Curry got 26 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. On Portland side, Lillard got 34 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists and he was so close to making a double-double. McCollum got 28 points and 4 assists.

Warriors lack of defense is pretty evident, they are not the same warriors anymore, this team has started from the beginning again and I don't know if they'll improve this season or will qualify in the playoffs as they have a lot of games already that they lose by a big margin.

All league is in like they are start from the beginning. One day they win by 30 points and next game they lose by 30 points. This is the strangest start of league I can remember. There are more games that ends with 20 points difference than games that end with 5 points difference. Hopefully after a month things will settle and we will be able to enjoy games more.

This post doesn't make any sense because when both Irving and Durant are sidelined for the season Brooklyn Nets as a team are winning games and because they infused their stars suddenly they are losings games. Before Dinwiddie got injured and will be out of the season he was the 5th option for the starting 5 and last season he was a 20 ppg player now he barely makes 7 points, this kind of adjustment for such a quality player is not what you want to see. I know you have 2 stars in the team but it doesn't mean they are the only options for scoring buckets but that is what the Brooklyn Nets did.

At first, I'd admired their good start this season. But after a few games, the same analysis you've made is what we can see for their team. We've thought that they'll be consistent from these few games that they have.


They'll adjust, it was a tough loss but what's important for this team is to be in the playoffs which for sure they can make it. Atlanta Hawks has improved, so we cannot underestimate them, but for sure Nets will bounce back with a big win.
Yeah, the Hawks are also a good team. They have a good standing this time.

But who do you think will be a good addition to them?
They're good already, they just need to improve the chemistry.
They're good but an addition would also help them out to be a stronger team. More games to come to them and also their other teammates needed to be discovered.

What a crazy game was in NBA last night with most of the favorites losing the games or even worse , losing the game at a such higher points difference that makes you look like a college team. Also most of the teams this year are having great players that will make NBA kinda balanced this year with a lot of midfield team having a chance to climb into play-offs ( hawks , kings , suns ... )

Things like these isnt new even the good teams do really have a bad night! Few games doesnt indicate that they would be easily be wiped out by those midfield team that you had mentioned.

Amazed on the win of Wizards without Westbrook. I agree on that word above that why not on letting him rest for more? The team do really able to win without him. Lol

Im bit excited on what would be the next game outcomes for this current season.

I hope you all have a great New Year.
I did.  Grin
Didn't watch any live games but I did spend a lot of time with my family.

Wizards did great despite losing against the Bulls.
But now they proved it. Even without WB they can win.
Twolves lacks the firepower to defeat them. Defining which team had a better trade will be difficult if WB and Wall wont play with regular minutes.
I guess we will need to wait.

Nice game, Clippers vs Utah Jazz. Seems like Mike Conley is showing his value, he lead this team to win with 33 points and 7/14 shooting from beyond the arc, I thought this guy is over. I hope he will continue to contribute like that, it's needed especially against a championship contender team.

It was an exciting game earlier, Clippers tried to snatch this game.

PG and Kawhai creates a good run but like what you have said Conley did well. He hold the ball and attack getting fouled and make
those important FT, Those crucial 3 point shot form PG really intense it was so close but still Jazz holds and win this game.

Finally Washington Wizards got their first win. It's a 21 point win, that was really a good win, congrats to them, hopefully this is a good start.

Funny that they rest Westbrook in this game and they had their first one, maybe they'll rest him if they keep winning without him. lol

Another NBA player who has recently suffered an ankle injury was Ja Morant, it was not very serious, but he will be away for a few weeks
I hope both players recover soon!
Yeah, that wasn't really good, but good thing it was not serious. The team has to adjust now that he is out, hopefully they can still win some games.

Yes, sure, they will have to play without a good player in the team, they need to adjust to not lose many games in the future.
I hope everything goes well with the injured players.
I think that would be their initial plan, not to lose many games without their star player. But it's hard though, we all know how teams are competitive these days and if they know that you are missing your franchise player then they are going to attack you.

Ah, I think that soon Klay Thompson will be able to return. I hope he recovered 100%
I also suffered an ACL injury while playing basketball and I needed to make a good recovery before I started playing again.
Hope he can return the soonest, GSW needs him as the West is very tough conference. We will see how Klay can recover and again, hope he will be back with his shooting.

It's quite tough for the side of Grizzlies to be honest. Ja serves as their ace player. So without this young gun, they are on the verge of losing all of their 11-18 games. They are at high risk. But just wat like others said, I guess they are still lucky that he only had a not very serious injury.

Anyway, I'm wishing you a fast recovery mate. Next time be more careful on playing because your knee is vulnerable than ever. Take it easy, god bless Smiley.

......
He was trying to change his shooting style or maybe someone is trying to change it like trainers.
It was not cleared who made it that way but it resulted badly.
Whatever change he or his new trainers did during the off season, it seems to be working now. Good for him and the Orlando staffs.

...........

Rockets vs. Kings round 2 will be up next. The first round was a thriller and I never expected it to be a high scoring game [over 232]. I'm not interested on who is going to win but what do you think of the total score this time? I'm planning to bet on under 232 since they could be a bit tired hehe.

LMAO, Cleveland Cavaliers new year's resolution is hilarious.

Lower demands on a Kevin Love trade

This has some point though, I think Kevin Love will just stay at Cavaliers because they think Kevin Love is a defensive liability and he is constantly injured, so no more team would be interested in getting him and he'll finish his contract with the Cavaliers.
