Hawks tomorrow is given +12.5 against the Raptors. @ 1.85.
I will take the bet.
That is some huge handicap given.


I don't trust hawks on the road, but since they won their last game, maybe they can bring that momentum to this game.
Who knows, maybe take the ML as well, Toronto is a good defensive team but if Trae will again have a good game and will explode, we might see a close game.

As if Jazz are not an ordinary team, please don't over react with this lose, Rockets are also a team that is capable of winning so they deserved this win.
With what Gordon have showed in this game, they should give him more minutes and more opportunity to shot the ball.

This man scored 50 points which is usually done by Harden, so if the Rockets will share the points with him, I think they will become unpredictable.
Whose doing defense against Gordon?
Sorry I didn't watch the game but just looking at the scores and stats.

I can't believe the Jazz loss against the Rockets.
Are they rigging this game, Rockets without Harden, Westbrook, and Capela and yet they manage to win on the road, unbelievable.

Maybe the Jazz is just having an off-night, or perhaps Gordon played like he is the superstar of Houston, scoring like James Harden's number.

Donovan Mitchell and try to keep the game close, but they missed a lot of three points (12 out of 42). They are usually a good shooting three point team, so that's one reason why they lost this match against the depleted Houston Rockets.

Me choosing the Jazz to win by 10 points does not like what they are doing, I was thinking they are going to dominate early but it was the opposite that I witnessed.  Maybe sometimes we have to bet against the public as Jazz was obviously the public pick knowing their big 3 is out.

Maybe the Rockets management should look into this, they are not utilizing the talent of their other players, instead they fully rely on the combo of Westbrook and Harden which only makes them very predictable, if Rockets are playing like how the Jazz are playing, they sure have a decent chance in the playoffs, sorry, but this Rockets now seems to be weak compared to the rockets before.
This is one of the times that opposing teams get blindsided by the offense because they did not anticipate the output coming from the supporting cast of rockets. They know Rockets play when their superstars are playing but since they are out the play is different. Add that to the poor performance of Jazz.
Jazz are also vulnerable losing to a weaker team, but they just have to learn from their mistake.
I like Jazz but I think the most stable and the strongest team right now is the Bucks, they also keep winning and proving that they are almost unbeatable.

 Rockets reached to a peak point where they know what they are capable of, they know the talent in the team and they realized that long time ago. Nowadays they are just trying to get by with as minimum effort as possible and trying to just reach to playoffs without any serious injury so that they can start playing at the %100 level. Remember last years when Lebron was in Cavs, there was times they finished at 4th I think, maybe even 5th I can't remember and thats on east conference as well, they still managed to reach to Finals without a trouble because Lebron would just carry them there easily. Same goes on here, Rockets knows that they will be in playoffs for sure, there is nothing to work for or even want to play for outside of that, up until that moment they will just cruise. The moment they are on playoffs we will see a whole different Rockets for sure.

The question here is the consistency of those Rockets players who showed up against the Jazz. They can have a good night or two but carrying the team all through out the season is a different story. Good thing they hold the port while the two main man of Rockets were out plus the fact that the Jazz have a poor night of basketball which could happen once in a while.


I think there is no consistency in their plays if they don't have their superstars. Yes they could win games only by surprise but not on a consistent basis unlike when they play with their main superstars on the court.

This is just one of those games, where underdog wins, they were simply more aggressive. Eric Gordon played game of his career + Rockets had season high 49 free throws, and  out of that Gordon had 20. Seems like he learned thing or two from Harden.

While  in the Jazz team no one showed up except Bogdanovic and Mitchell. Add on that atrocious 3 pts shooting (12-42), and once again non existent bench and you get this unexpected loss. But as i said, that's just one of those games, like when Dallas Mavericks without Luka Doncic stopped Milwaukee Bucks 18 games winning streak back in December 2019, when not even 48 points of Antetokounmpo wasn't enough.

That's just a matter of getting into the groove. The main gunners of rockets are out but the support of each individuals to win the game is what matters in this match.anyways it seems really unbelievable that the rockets win this game but if they have their superstars playing, they seems so vulnerable and lack on defense.

hahaha, I can feel you mate, lots of us got burn today because of that Jazz vs Rockets game.
Jazz was too good with good teams but has become a shitty team against the Rockets today, and they never even have a lead within the game, (correct me if I'm wrong).

Wow, that is something else if the stars ain't there but we cannot say it is rigged.
Maybe just a really bad night.
Did Eric Gordon really just made 50 points?
A new career high for this man. He made something possible with their offense even without Harden and Westbrook.
Looks like he was pushed to his limits by Mike D'Antoni. Grin

CP3  and Doncic are both out I guess, they are the stars of the team so can we still expect an exciting game?

Dallas can still find their offence even without Doncic, while the OKC will be playing a faster pace without Paul, that's what I'm thinking so since we can't trust on which team would win, I think talking the over 225.5 for game total would be a wiser choice.
Dallas manage to win but the scores didn't favor your pick as it's ended up with low scoring game. Luka once again carry his team with leading the
scoring stats. While Schröder unable to lift OKC as CP3 is out for this match.

I'm still trying to convince myself that "this is not real". I'm hoping it's just another fake news spreading as usual in social media. I've seen first some of Kobe's links about the tragedy on my social media group chats that's why I think it's just another day of fake news. But when I browse my news feed, oh my, this is f**cking real. I was shocked as just recently his name was on the sports news as LeBron passes him on the all-time scoring list.

We are not related to Kobe but as a long-time NBA enthusiast and witness his greatness during his prime, we really feel the pain. Just imagine how much more to the one who was inspired by him and keeping in touch with him.

No words can describe what's the feeling. Much painful to Bryant's family that not even the head of their family, but a young girl, full of dreams, was also killed.

Big condolences too for the other family that dies on the crash. I can't imagine the pain they are dealing with.

#legendsneverdie
After reading this. I cried again.
I have the same thought when I read it. I see it all as fake news. I don't want to believe it.
I thought I was okay this morning having a good night sleep from all the crying yesterday.

Anyways, Kobe will want us to move on but never forget about him and all his lectures for the world.
His inspirational phrases for working hard with everything we do specially the ones that we love to do.

Quote
"When we are saying this cannot be accomplished, this cannot be done, then we are short-changing ourselves. My brain, it cannot process failure. It will not process failure. Because if I have to sit there and face myself and tell myself, 'You're a failure,' I think that is a worse, that is almost worse than death."
Of course his acts too, inspiring those young basketball enthusiast to pursue their dreams and never let it go just because of one failure.
I would love to see new players with the same kind of love for basketball just like him.

Even after a day after his tragic death, people still mourn about what happened. Come on guys let's move on..

Am I reading this right? You use the word "still" mourn even it's just almost a day when the accident happened? What do you want? People should not mourn since its almost 24 hours since the incident? You want people to move on already? Are you sick on reading some of the comments here about what happened? There are lots of threads outside to play around.

Just allow people to mourn. Of course, people will move on. We will be there soon. But don't expect that to happen overnight.

I hope you just mistakenly constructed your statement.
Was supposed to say the same thing and its just normal for people to mourn yet we know that a Basketball legend had died.Its impossible for the entire basketball community to move on in a matter of day?

How can we move forward in a day when NBA players like JT who was inspired by the Black Mamba?

See how Doc Rivers sobs during interview? It's really hard to move on, there are NBA games today but I'm sure the whole atmosphere is still sad because of the passing of Kobe.
