The poll has been change knowing that NBA started again. In this case lakers still has the fans vote to win over the championship game. Well, it is because of strong line up course lead by lebron. Their team were really big and both do good inside and outside perimeter. They had really the great chance of winning.

They don't only win in the poll here, for sure in the poll outside hosted by other websites because Lakers is the heavy favorite now to win the Championship.

It can also be check in the betting odds from this site - https://sportsbet.io/sports/basketball/usa/nba/outrights

However, the ball is round and we could not also be little the clippers lead by an MVP Kawhi Leonard.

Leonard is always underrated, the Clippers might beat the Lakers in this season, who knows...
They have all the tools to do that and they are complete, healthy and can surely compete well with the Lakers.

There head to head this season - https://www.landofbasketball.com/head_to_head_gl/lakers_vs_clippers_game_log_season.htm

Clippers won 2-1.

So it might not be true.
Guys, be really careful with what we read. There is too much fake news out there or just made for attention.
Always do deep research.
Just reminding so we can have the best sources as always.

Thank goodness! Because if Harden was infected as well then there's a high possibility for them to have a lose streak and not get a good momentum after the game resumes.

With regards to fake news, you can avoid it just by simply on sticking on their own website of course (NBA) or other reputable sites like ESPN, FoxSports etc.

Breaking news, Westbrook tested positive with the virus.

He still have time. He'll be able to get back before nba orlando bubble with few days of conditioning. He's fine though a bit late.

And I had also heard the news that Harden was also infected by the virus.
But, I am still looking for a legitimate source since most of the news came from sources that are not reputable yet.

According to the NBA in this source.

Quote

Houston participated in their second practice at the Walt Disney World bubbled without Westbrook, James Harden and Luc Mbah a Moute, who is in his second stint with the Rockets after signing with the team on Jul. 7.

So it might not be true.

Here goes the problem, other players will have to check themselves and be cautious to avoid physical contact with others. Each team management has to add more precaution to avoid uncaught infection of their players.
Godspeed to Russell.

That's really the problem if they have been in contact with Russel they might be tested positive too and might not be able to play on the opening of the game. Though it's possible he will recover in no time there will still protocol to be followed about those who tested positive of the virus and he'll have to start practicing again for the time lost because of the contracted disease.

I haven't seen anyone stat padding worst than Harden.

Harden? Noh, there's one worst that him and with that he won and MVP, guess who? Russell Westbrook.

A triple double guy but on a stat padding way. lol

Both stat padders playing at the same team, I wonder if they can win a ring together. Grin

Here's a good video that explains on how westbrook padding his stats and on why the guy can't win a ring.

This Is Why Russell Westbrook Will NEVER WIN A Title

Would miss him if this is the Rondo of the Celtics

. Rondo now just serve as a back-up PG to Lebron as he is now facilitating the plays for the Lakers. Just don't have the data right now but i think the point production of LBJ decreased while his assist increased, that may be the reason why he urged Davis to joined him in LA.

Rondo is still useful coming off the bench. The Lakers has no other pass first point guard but Rondo. Though LeBron could facilitate on the offensive plays, but he still needs to rest otherwise he'll drain out before the 4th quarter.
Anyway, hope Rondo will get well sooner.

I haven't seen anyone stat padding worst than Harden. I mean this guy would literally grab an open rebound from his teammates during the last second of the game just to reach a double digit rebounding. And he can throw as many bricks as he want just to break a single game points made. Lol

I think we will not miss Rondo a lot as Lebron is always there, he is playing the PG position now and we know that this man can play even with little rest just to make sure he can contribute all he can for the team to win. Rondo is always vital to the team, but he is very limited now as they have a similar position with the KING JAMES.

We can see on his minutes played that results to a drop of stats.

He just average a double-double this season so far, his points are down but just a bit, and I think of the 3 seasons he played until now, this season is his best season as he was very efficient in all aspects.

If he can maintain that stats in the playoffs, Lakers should be a very dangerous team as he always got Davis on his back to support the scoring.

And lastly, it's not stat-padding.

A bad news for Lakers fans out there.

Lakers guard Rajon Rondo out 6-8 weeks with fractured thumb.

Bad news for Lakers, Rondo is very effective for the 2nd unit of the Lakers, this should affect the Lakers chances, and 6-8 weeks is a long period of time as that would also mean he will not be active coming to the most awaiting moments in the NBA season.

I just hope other players can fill the gap while he is resting or out.

We got Quinn Cook and Pope, let's see what they can contribute.

This will really hurt the chance of Lakers, Rondo contribute not just in the court, but off-court wherein we have seen him giving pointers to young players because we all know how experience Rondo is and him gone for the next 6-8 weeks will be a big blow for them. I don't know if Cook or Pope can cover Rondo but they have to step up their level of playing.

He still have time. He'll be able to get back before nba orlando bubble with few days of conditioning. He's fine though a bit late.

That's so sad to hear.

He'll probably miss some games before he gets back on the court. Too bad, all the upcoming games are crucial at some point. I hope not to see Harden choke again, when Westbrook is out for fee games, as it happen sometimes when playoffs is near.

I'm sure Westbrook can still play if he is allowed, this guy is super human, he might get tested but it should not affect him.

According to some article that has been posted recently, a player that will be infected with covid-19 will be out at least a minimum of 2 weeks, and of course it would not be easy to come back as training is necessary for a player to get back in shape, it's just bad for Westbrook but anyway at least this happened before the resumption of the season.

I'm not that excited with their matchup for the playoffs or Finals but I'm more excited to the face-off match on the resume of the game this 31st of July.
Western Conference Finals is too early to tell but I think these two teams has the momentum to get there.

They were the heavy favorites, obviously. So people like to talk a lot about between the two. Either way, it is very early to tell now as you say so Grin

, even teams who seemed to have a decent roster gets upset by a very least expected team you thought would be able to pull it off. Anyway, I am excited too - can't wait to see those players on court who have changed shape drastically. I mean, I'm very curious though.

And one more thing, these incoming remaining games would tell a lot about their fate in the playoffs. If they can still perform well just like the regular season they had after their long break, then they're going to be fine in a very tense round.

Other players that could defend Lebron.

1- Montrezl Harrell
2- Marcus Morris Sr.

I think we can add them to the players which I previously mentioned, they would surely give Lebron a hard time.

Bro you are talking like the Clipper only needs to defend Lebron in order to win a championship but the truth is there are other Lakers that can also be a scoring threat if they decided to shutdown Lebron since there is also Davis who can be a scoring threat for the team and I think we've all seen that Lebron has dropped down to a more supportive role rather than the main scoring option for the team. Yeah the Clippers might shut him down in terms of his scoring but the truth is Lebron's play style isn't really about scoring first right now but feeding the rest of the team with some of his good passes.

Oh yeah! There was the Brother Morris too. Grin

I forgot about him.
But I will reserve Harrell for Davis, Mcgee, and Howard. Let him stay below the rim. He is one hell of a good defender down there.
If summarized, Clippers is one of the teams out there which have a larger percentage to win against the Lakers if ever they will face round 2 of the playoffs or the Finals.
