Still flawless, suns won again.. the streak is still alive as they continue to climbed, they beat the Sixers at a score of 130-117.

Booker led the team again with 35 points, this is insane, they'll make history in the bubble as this only happened once.  Grin

Tied with the Blazers now, https://www.espn.com/nba/standings

if Blazers will lose, they might have better chance than the Blazers.
I seriously thought this was the day the suns would finally go down. Had them on a parlay with the under and the celtics to win at 2.75x so would of been nice even with the suns to win with 4.56x odds combined but ah well. Roll Eyes


Just don't... don't back against the Suns as they are freaking hot.
But unfortunately, it looks like their effort will be wasted as the Blazers keeps wining also, Lillard is taking this team and he is playing in a different level.

I'm not sure right now, but I think I'll bet on them if they will face the Lakers, I'm looking for a big upset.

That way there might be a chance the Grizzlies will clinched that spot for the 8th seed if ONLY they can win the game with Bucks without Giannis.

Suns > Mavericks - Suns win with them but that was a tough one last 3rd of August
Spurs > Jazz - There still hope for Spurs but if someone wins from top I think they wouldn't get it, simply by percentage.
Blazers > Nets - Blazers are on a 2nd win streak but Nets was on its 3rd win streak. Talking about fire.

Friday is surely an exciting one to watch.

He will not win the MVP this season because of that, lol.

Giannis was supposed to be a good example for the fans, headbutting his opponent because he got heated is wrong, now, coaches knows his weakness, they will exploit him in the playoffs and I don't see any chance Bucks will advance in the finals, sorry, that's because of the headbutt.

Meanwhile, have you seen Lillard goating again? Damn that guy should get an award being an MVP in the bubble.

The Suns are always like that they go down early in the first quarter. I was able to get their handicap down to -3.5 when they're down by 9.

I knew they'll come back hard next quarter since the Sixers have a lot of injured players plus Embiid wasn't playing.  

They might go down on their next/last match though as they play against the Mavs once again.

So.....

Spurs won
Suns won
Grizzlies lost

Blazers-Mavs match still ongoing and it's a close one.

Nobody's getting eliminated yet. The battle for 8th turned out to be more intense than what I was expecting  Grin
Blazers and spurs still fighting for the 8 place to get the into the play offs. Yes, it could be more interesting but when you will going to compare the players then pretty sure there could be some changes in the options. My bet to rank into 8th place between blazers, grizzlies, suns and spurs then pretty sure my chose will goes to blazers. I am a big fan of Carmelo Anthony with his talent and skills in playing basketball that he could carry the team. And there are other good players too in blazers too like Lillard and Brown.

Blazers with a close win, 134-131 and Dame was on fire, as he drops a 61 point performance and gets the last spot.

He and Wilt are the only two players with 60+ point games in the same season.

When I saw 61 pts for lillard, I had to do a double take and check to see if it was from doing a double overtime match or something.
But it was just during regular time which is insane in it's self for a freaking double in the bubble match. Cheesy
Crazy just a crazy game with the Mavs is all it came down too. Grin

That was a monster performance from Damian Lillard to keep blazers playoffs hopes alive! 61 points! Great 3s, Flawfless free throws.... Not to under value his teammates efforts and performance, but he literally carried them today, imho

Nobody's getting eliminated yet. The battle for 8th turned out to be more intense than what I was expecting  Grin

Crazy stuff! I still strongly believe it's going to be Blazers or Suns, I'd rather have the former, though but Suns are just super hot, the best team post covid19-break!
Liliard is too strong in the NBA bubble they beat the Mavs because of the consecutive 3 points of Liliard. He proved that he it is not just talk big because there is a recent issues in the IG where they are trashtalking with Paul George and Beverley. It is crazy to see that Liliard really improved during the quarantine period, you can also see that he has a mamba mentality and it is the reason why they win over the Mavs. I'd like to see Liliard to score 60 points again in his next game and for sure it will written in the history if that happen.

 Keldon Johnson is just having his best game ever probably, Spurs are definitely winning this one up, lets see what the other teams will end up doing, tonight is one of the best nights to watch NBA in a very long time, we are talking about 4 teams even 5 teams fighting for 2 spots, and 8th seed is even more important because if you win just one you go to playoffs, if you are 9th you need to win 2 in a row.

 Suns and Sixers is about to start, and I think that could be end of Suns chances as well, they have come thus far incredibly and nobody gave them any chance at all but at this point I think it is quite possible for them to just end the streak right here. However I should remind that Embiid might be out, so that means the best player is gone and Suns could still continue to strike.

 All in all there is a HUGE chance that 8th and 9th will be decided on the very last game of the season.

^ Well, all four teams will end up playing once again today, which will make things change a ton in the next 10 hours or so (or whenever all 4 games ends). Spurs playing rockets, suns playing sixers, grizzlies playing celtics and portland playing mavs, all four teams have a chance to be in the playoffs right now, it is super exciting to watch however if you tell me that all four teams will lose today I would totally believe you.

Not that it will happen,  I am sure at least one of them will end up winning, however it really looks like all four are facing teams that are better than them, closest one looks like blazers versus mavs, but even they have a difference. I don't know how "fun" it will be, but it will be interesting for sure. And I call an end to Suns streak, sixers will probably get this game.

Back to my crazy opinion. Suns will be playing against OKC.
Melo and CP3 are good friends right? Really close.
Do you think CP3 will do everything to stop this Suns from getting another win?
I mean, that could mean a lot for Melo right?


OKC doing everything to lose, haha.. Suns won by 20+ points. You have a point man but I think even without that friendship, their job is to win, but they lose in this game, which makes the race more interesting.

Hahaha. Well, now my craziness is over.
That was just yesterday.
Luckily, Suns will never meet Lebron in this whole 8 games. I hope you know what I mean and it connects with my craziness again.

Suns and Blazers might have the difficulty to win this game this time.
Blazers against Dallas and 76ers against Suns.
But both those teams are already secured. Could they just let the two win this game?  Huh

OKC was once a great team with KD, westbrook.and harden but they are persistent in getting titles that resulted to part ways and join other teams that has high potentials in getting championship titles. KD has already won championship but Harden and Westbrook still playing for it. If ever they get the chance to team up again in OKC high chances that they can win a championship game that if the three guys are in good shape.

It will be difficult to achieve by now.
They part ways. They now have new teams on their own.
I bet OKC fans will also hate WB now, just like what they did with KD even though it should be their own decision of whatever team they will choose.
Since they are stars, a lot of offer will come in.

Maybe this is also the best chance of Harden and WB to get a championship.
Harden is in high amount of focus now. I think the WB addition gave a large boost for them.

Suns continue to played solid and the quest to the next round still open for them, there's no friendship that can stop Suns to win and it shows from the result after this game, Booker solid game has been backed up by his entire squad, they are really collaborating and the blends of each players are very nice to watch.

Article was made April 15, 2020. After lockdown before NBA restart.
I don't know if something change the mind of those names who voted for them.
PS: I can only cut thru that part. Use the link for the full list.

With this results coming from staff  (former NBA players) we are seeing a glimpse of who might be winning the award. Remember that NBA awards are voted by a panel of sports writers and analyst and not all of them have played in the NBA so showing these kind of picks coming from staff of people working in the in the NBA media industry. And judging on where it stands I think Giannis is the one the media is favoring to win the MVP however all of this will change during the playoffs and if Giannis fails to perform I think they might shift their heads towards Lebron.

They are great but their coaching staff didn't facilitate them well as they didn't succeed when those 3 big names mentioned are in one team. But for now westbrook and harden in new team seems promising as they can possibly get the champ if they will help each other and they will let the ball rotate on their teammates.

But I don't think those 3 will join in 1 team since provably their salary cap will be a burden for that matters, but things will change if one of them will give way and accept a lower compensation.
