No one is yet to talk about how that last shot and buzzer beater made by Kyrie against the Denver Nuggets today. 2.8 seconds left on that 4th quarter and the ball was in their possession. Score was tied up with both 105 but just one good shot and they'd end the game and Kyrie did it.

What's amazing on his shot is that it was a left hook shot or floater or whatever you call it from the free throw line. This is what amazing it is to watch some of these games when the game is too intense and they're on the verge of having an overtime but then, the other retaliates and don't want to prolong it.

A nice finish it is for the home court and this is going to be one of the greatest plays not just for Kyrie but also for the league itself. Wow.

Yeah, it was a entertaining game between this two great team, and this could be the best version of Kyrie that we have seen so far with Dallas. He is healthy, moving like he was still with the Cavs together with Lebron. But right now he is with Luka.

What a shot, a hook shot that we have never seen since maybe the team of all time great Kareem. It was a back and forth game, Murray, a dagger 3 to give them the lead, but Luka comes back with his own 3 to tie. And then Murray missed what could have been the game winner for them. But he missed Dallas called for a time out and everyone is looking for Luka to get the ball but it was Irving for the great left hook.

But I don't think the Celtics should have rewarded him to be signed with the team this year because of his loyalty and sacrifice(?). That's a big word and I don't see on what part he showed sacrifice for the team where in the first place, it's the responsibility of the players to be better on their team as much as possible.

I mean if you cannot even consider playing in the playoffs up to the east Finals with a hip injury as a sacrifice then I don't know what is. It may not have turned out well for him but that is sacrificing his future of being unable to play competitively for the rest of his life in order to win the title that season.

Shams is reporting that Isaiah Thomas is signing a 10-day contract with the Suns. I think this is a great signing because Isaiah has earned another chance in the NBA, the Suns lack a true point guard, and if this goes bad it’s only a 10-day contract. I’m really hoping it works out though because I think Isaiah got a bum deal in Boston and should have been rewarded for his loyalty and sacrifice.

Phoenix Suns really need to step up their game as the NBA regular season is about to end. If I'm correct, there are only about 15 games left on average per team. Suns is currently at the 7th seed. If they stay with this seed they might not make playoffs this year and might end up playing Play In Tournament. Lakers and Warriors is dangerous team and have a great record in their last games. I want to see in play in tournament Warriors vs Lakers, Kings vs Mavs. I'm not a fan of Luka vs Booker🤞

That's good to hear for the man to get another chance to come to the NBA and they should have at least given him a one-year contract but in this state of the NBA right now, he was just a lucky guy to land such a contract while other players are now playing in Asia because no one wants them so far. now he really needs to prove his effectiveness on the court and make other teams interested in getting him as well because he can still be giving them good contributions. Let's just hope the best for him right now and may it be a reason for him to get a good comeback in the NBA.

I hope to see Isaiah Thomas be back on his old form, or at least close to it if he can't anymore. Speaking of the Suns, I can't believe they loss to the Giannis less Bucks. I was thinking they'll get an easy win since Giannis was the best player of the Bucks and they could not without him, but turns out Durant was struggling with 11 points only, not sure but I think it's his lowest output this season.

Anyway, good to see Middleton is back and he played the same as he scored 22 points from an efficient shooting.

Isaiah Thomas during his Celtics tenure within 3 seasons, is undoubtedly the very best of him in his entire career. He was considered to be at a superstar level as he carried the Celtics, became a 2x All-Star member, and first time to be included in the All-NBA second team.

But I don't think the Celtics should have rewarded him to be signed with the team this year because of his loyalty and sacrifice(?). That's a big word and I don't see on what part he showed sacrifice for the team where in the first place, it's the responsibility of the players to be better on their team as much as possible.

The Celtics should sign Thomas to show recognition for his contribution. After all, Thomas did everything and showed interest to return for the team, even just for having a jersey, and a short contract, for one last time. Imagine that for just a reunion. But the Celtics didn't make it happen even according to the report, they are interested in signing Thomas. I feel sad for Thomas that the Celtics didn't grant his desire even though he pleaded for it.

Not directly with the diet but Los Angeles Clippers just can't stop Zion Williamson on that night. It was pointed out by Tyron Lue after the game that Zion is not just an inside scoring machine but can also hit shots from the perimeter. Currently, Zion is still not concerned about his diet as long as he can perform well as for him, there's no problem lol.

If he cares about his diet now, there should be no clause about the mandatory diet on his current contract.

The first time I heard given for a player lol.

It's just good to see the key players of Pelicans playing for most of the season.
I already knew that a healthy Zion will change the whole team, and we are seeing currently as they are only 1.5 games behind the 4th seeded Clippers.

This is the reason why the Pelicans gave him another chance this season after years of having some problem with him like his diet, injuries, etc. With regards to his diet, I guess if he can't really change his diet then let's just hope that he will not get injured especially now that there are only a few games remaining on the regular season, and it seems like they will clinch the playoffs this time.

Houston Rockets are preparing to give a new contract to Alperen Şengün. If he gets a max contract, Alperen can earn $225 million in 5 years. Alperen, who increased his statistics this season, deserves to receive a max contract. It's not easy to find such a good center. If he gets this contract, Alperen will make history in Turkish sports. The Turkish athlete will be the one who earns the most. And he's still very young. He has already become a player who will write his name in history.

TBH, his stats jumped every single year ever since he played with the Rockets. From 9.6 PPG in 2021-2022 NBA season to 14.8 PPG in 2022-2023 NBA season to now averaging 21.1 PPG. It's a huge jump in terms of stats. Now is he worthy of a max contract? Well, the kiddo has future and can just be the reliable center for the Rockets for quite some time. He's been called "Baby Jokic" for a reason, so I guess he's worthy of it.

Zion is looking pretty good his last few games and helped the Pelicans beat the Clippers tonight. This is his second 30+ point outing in a row and his stats have been improving a lot lately each game. I’m half expecting him to go for 40 in his next game. I love to see him leading the team in minutes. He seems to finally be getting it together.

It seems that he already has a break on all cheeseburgers, fries and other greasy diet he has been taking a lot lately.

He manage to retain a very productive play for having a 26 points which is a little bit lower than before but still a very good score considering how consistent he is on his previous games before this consistent come back play. I’m not updated on him personally but I really believe that he is already improving his diet because the sudden increase on his stamina that makes him consistent will not gonna happened with his previous weight problem due to his unhealthy food lifestyle.

He needs to continue working on his diet, whatever his following now it's helping him to keep his stamina and also helping him to avoid having an injury, his performances really help his team a lot, with that numbers that he's prducing that brings more offensive arsenal and what we are witnessing right now only proves that his presence really have a big impact to their rally,.

Just need to keep away from any injury to help his team moving to the next round, still far but the team is really improving.

He will likely get a max because he plays like their best player and he is still young, currently at 21 years old. It's true, NBA doesn't have a lot of good centers so the competition isn't that high. This season he is averaging 21.1 PPG, 9.3 rebounds, and 5.0 assists, these numbers showed he is an all around player, a big man who knows how to pass, create his offense and very hard working on defense and grabbing the ball.

We don't know if it could happen since it's just a speculation for now, but if it will happen, we should not be surprise as he had the best season in his NBA carreer so far.

Great game so far between Rockets and Cavs and I think Rockets will win today because they rarely lost back 2 back games against Cavs on home court + they play amazingly tonight so that is another factor in their favor.

Next up , I have my eyes on Lakers vs Warriors because both teams are looking for a win tonight to keep those play-offs spots safe. Grin

Golden State Warriors managed to win the match in which LeBron James played great by scoring 40 points. In fact, the match was going quite evenly, but GSW played better in the 3rd period and they took the lead thanks to the points they scored in this period. LeBron's effort fell short.
Anthony Davis needs to get better soon and start playing better. He plays a huge role in why the Lakers are losing right now, the team needs his support and they have a hard time winning games without him

Well, the Rockets managed to beat the Cavs, and now they have their winning streak extended to 5 games. However, they still don't have enough win percentage to get into the play-in tournament.
As for the Warriors-Lakers game, I would point out LeBron's performance. This "old" man scored 40 points and was close to making another triple-double. Unfortunately for the Lakers, it wasn't enough to win, and also Davis dropped out in the first quarter because of an eye injury.

When I turned on the TV, Anthony Davis was already gone. So, that's what happened.

Lebron is a monster. At that age, I was really amazed at how he performed on the basketball floor. 40 damn points. Wow! He carried the Lakers and tried hard to shoulder the offense but with the Warriors and Steph Curry back, it is not that easy to win the game.

The Warriors still won the game and Jonathan Kuminga scored 23 points. Man, this young guy is also amazing. Efficient and consistent.
GSW is lucky to have him because he can score and can defend too. We are witnessing how he grows in this industry and I bet he will be one of the stars someday as long as he can keep up this kind of energy and love for the game.
I bet the Warriors would not even dare trade him someday. He might be the next face of their team if the oldies starts retiring.

To bad for Lakers for losing Davis at that game since they lose a great defender and scorer which can be a game changer on that game. But its already happen, we can see the result if he's out on the rotation. What truly amazing there is Lebron continue to left his team despite of his age we can say that he's still a monster for performing and contributing huge number for his team. We can see that age is just number for him so provably we can see more from Lebron this or in upcoming season.

If you mean trading Kuminga no for sure they won't do that since there's a lot of potential for that guy and Warriors would surely develop him especially that Curry,Thompson and Green may leave on their team soon since we know they are not getting any younger anymore.

I don't think that Joel Embiid will be even back in the playoff if ever the Sixers made it. So this might be also a season ending for the Sixers. Although they can extend it and go to the playoff and used it as a experienced for them, but I think they have surrendered already to that fact that without their leader, they will be having a hard time against the East.

The 76ers are currently in eighth spot in the Eastern Conference standings, meaning they still have a chance to make the play-in tournament and maybe the playoffs. The 76ers need to at least maintain their current spot in the standings, as there are optimistic rumors that Embiid could return in late March or early April.

Aside from the experience discussion that was mentioned, I do not think that they have any reason. Plus, Embiid is a great guy but they never really put anyone decent around him that stayed. They keep trying, they get a lot of players, they got Butler, they got Harden, they used to have Simmons, like they are trying to put someone next to Embiid, just like how Jokic has Murray, but they keep failing.

I honestly thought that Harden would be the one, he could actually do something and he could win with Embiid, but turns out Harden is washed and he doesn't care much anymore at all. This should be the most important part, if Embiid doesn't get better this year that's fine, but if they get no one near him, then next season will not be too different.
