Ariza seem to find a team that values him, good job by the Blazers.

In his first game, he already took the starter role and scored 21 points in 35 minutes of paying time.
Unfortunately they lose against the Mavericks.

But, will the Blazers improve when CJ comes back?

Of course they will, I think Ariza fit well on the blazers system of basketball and that's why he gained the starting line-up. Maybe if CJ comes back, he will have his regular role that would beat benefit the team.

No more team Leberon or Team Giannis?
They are going back to the old thing?

NBA cannot think of something new by now? Maybe we should start suggesting some styles for the All-Star next time. Cheesy

What a roster for the West. Those are monsters that needs to be separated.

That's the final that was just announced recently. The West sure is an all star hype roster and it's less than a month now til' we see the match. I guess the bookies are getting ready for this match now. Everybody will be betting for the West, who's with the East here?

I think I will also go with the West roster.

I don't need to explain myself since everyone here would be also siding with me with this pick. I love Giannis, still a fan of him but this is all star so, I will go with the West. Speaking of West, what is happening with him lately? Heard Bron will be helping him get into Lakers?

Hopefully because he'll be able to help Lillard in the offensive department.

What Ariza has showed in his first game gives some hope to the Fans although they lose, eventually, their chemistry will improve and once again they'll be playing in the playoffs, but this time around they will be a more dangerous team.

If Ariza would remain efficient and will score at least 20 points per game, that would be great for the Blazers fans.
Also he is good in defense, in his first game, he already got 2 steals and his 3 point shooting is very efficient at 4-6 while total FG is 7-11 compared to 7-21 for Melo.

Zion was suddenly forgotten. Grin

Thanks to the All-Star?

Yeah, it is just the list of the secured names which will participate.
But regarding choosing sides it will still be Lebron and Giannis which can choose their team mates.

Luka and Trae. Yeah.

Ask the NBA about it, of course West team are beast since they have most of the superstars in their conference. I think NBA all-star should be better be the old school all-star game unlike the previous one. West vs east, this way the fans will get to see superstars in their conference fighting for the trophy. Anyways, it's no big deal for me since it's only an exhibition match and almost no tight defense is showed during the game.

If you notice the replay you'll see that their defense against Zion isn't really what you normally see on Coach Pop's playbook, usually players like him won't be left unguarded. They might played differently against him either because they don't want to be the team who will re-injure Williamson or they just want him to get a good NBA debut of his rookie career. Other things I have notice is that Williamson isn't driving that much to the basket and he wants to spot up a shot as fast as he can, he might still be worried about his injury and doesn't want to be careless as well.

I think they are playing against the weakness of Zion which is outside shooting. They cannot just let him dominate the paint so they gave him the outside shots. But it didn't work because Zion did not miss a 3.

The captains are still Lebron and Giannis because they topped the voting for their respected conference. After the supporting players for the all-stars are announced, the two will pick their teammates regardless of their conference. It is still Lebron vs Giannis team and not totally West vs East.

Actually it's fine with me to go back with the East-West thing so that at least on the name of their team everyone got fair spotlight Grin

. I mean, for me it sounds biased if a certain team is named after an All Star Player because you can't remove the tendency that some people might only think that Lebron is the strongest there and the others (especially those who are not an avid basketball fan) are just supporting blah blah. I hope you get my point guys Grin

Hahaha, indeed. They are solid as rock dude Grin

. Actually, now I'm wondering how Giannis and the rest will win against them. But who knows, maybe Luka's magic will be effective and the Freak will be in rage mode when their game starts.

Zion surprised me on that last quarter and it almost took them on a win. If ever that's happened, a big name ZION will spread all over the news. He just exploded in the last quarter and he is really nailing that shot. Although to what I noticed, those three-pointers made by Zion aren't guarded properly so I blame Spurs here for their poor defense. But in the end, they still managed to escape that rally by the Pelicans.

Noticed also the passing skills of Lonzo Ball. That's his main forte' even back on Lakers.

If you notice the replay you'll see that their defense against Zion isn't really what you normally see on Coach Pop's playbook, usually players like him won't be left unguarded. They might played differently against him either because they don't want to be the team who will re-injure Williamson or they just want him to get a good NBA debut of his rookie career. Other things I have notice is that Williamson isn't driving that much to the basket and he wants to spot up a shot as fast as he can, he might still be worried about his injury and doesn't want to be careless as well.

Good strategy for coach Pop, give the Zion to shine in this game and he actually did, scoring 17 straight points and hitting 4 out of 4 in three points. Too bad though that he won't get the ROTY.

But at the end, the Spurs win the game, so it's really a "win-win" situation for both of them, props to coach Pop. Grin

This is something really enormous for New Orleans.
When was the last time they went to the playoffs?
Oh it was just 2018. I forgot they got Anthony Davis back then. So confused now with a lot of trades. They even got until conference Finals against GSW.

And looks like no playoff appearance for them now. I even offer a bet on it but unfortunately, no one accepts it.

Also, another year again to Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball without playoffs.

J.J Redick will surely disappointed at this. He never missed playoffs for 13 seasons and even throw a joke at Zion not to screw his playoffs streak lol.

Haha. Redick will be watching Riddick of Vin Diesel while resting without a playoffs game. Grin

Young guns though are really unlucky going to different teams and then not even having an experience for a playoffs game.
They must really try it once, they will surely know how hardcore it will be unlike the season.

Oh! look at this.

New Orleans Pelicans -3.5 (1.94) vs Denver Nuggets +3.5 (1.88)
That fast?!!!
Is Zion really that huge of an impact that it went thru Vegas? Grin

They are starting to be emotional.

But they wont compete with the big boys just yet they need some of these young guys to get more consistent and keep zion healthy.

Not just Zion but Pelicans should make some move about acquiring a big man or those who are reliable under the paint either offense or defense. They clearly lack of it. They don't need that many players who are pure perimeter gunners within the rainbow area.

Pelicans should not waste the talents of their young guys. They should not repeat what they did during the Anthony Davis era where they didn't do anything to surround Davis with decent players for several seasons.

I agree, they should wake up that one isn't enough to lift the team or they will end up Zion finding a contender team few years from now. It's not bad having lots of perimeter gunner as long as it's getting in and they are consistent. If not, then the management should give another way to fill in the lack like you've said reliable big guys inside the paint. Anyway, i've read an article that Lonzo and Zion could be the next Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp, what do you guys think about it?

I think Washington can win

I'm scouting on them for their next matches. Latest will be against Cavs but I think it's late for me to bet for this one.

I'll try to get in with their match next week for Monday and Wednesday but for the Wednesday's match, I'll go for Bucks.

I also see that Spurs is not forcing to guard Zion, it is like that they are wanting him to have a good game or having a good debut in the NBA.

I can't agree with you, otherwise this league has become an obvious rig.
Him scoring that much is nothing new, he is really good that's why he was the number 1 overall pick this season, but one game doesn't prove much, we want to see if he is consistent enough in the next few games, and if he still getting that good points, then he can help this team to rank up.

Sure he will be a good player as long as he stays healthy but I am also scared dude will be expected to be a great scorer from everywhere of the court.

It is pretty much expected from every star to score from everywhere in the court. That is how the game is evolving. It is not enough for a star to just being dominant inside the paint, they need to have outside shooting as well. If they don't evolve their game, they will be shutdown come playoffs.

Yes, but with the injuries at hand, he can't just force himself all over the court. I also see that Spurs is not forcing to guard Zion, it is like that they are wanting him to have a good game or having a good debut in the NBA. I don't know but that is what I am seeing, whay do you think?

It's a good point and it might be worth them trading some draft pick assets to get someone like an andre Drummond in the middle. That would be a solid team right there. I dont know what their cap space looks like but veteran leadership journeyman type players are always good for the youngins to rely on as well.
