Great win by the Suns over the home team Detroit. I thought that they are going to lose this game as it is a very very close. But KD took over the 3rd and the 4th quarter and it looks like he is on the mission right now.
First game by Nick Richards who was acquired from the Hornets and he had a immediate impact on the game, with a huge debut finished with 29 points and 11 rebounds. While KD and Booker combine with 71 big points, as KD had 36 and then Booker with 35.
They are still way below in the standings though, with the Kings, them and then the Warriors supporting with a 21-20 record.

Reports say that Jimmy Butler will be back to play with the Heat against the Nuggets.
It will be interesting to see how the team or how he will perform tonight as there was a lot of drama on Jimmy and he says that he is not enjoying his time with them. And so there could be some tensions in the dugout.
So let's see how it goes, they are facing a good team in the Nuggets and they are somewhat the underdog in their homecourt.

Denver Nuggets managed to win the game. Miami Heat is not very strong this year, it was good to see Butler supporting the team on the court again. But the Denver Nuggets played very well, Jokic and his friends came out willingly as if they were in a playoff game.
Butler contributed 18 points to the team in this match. His remaining statistics are not very good, someone who wanted to leave the team could only perform this much
With Jokic back on Nuggets plus full line-up I guess Heat even with Jimmy Butler can’t handle Nuggets with their current roster. They even put Highsmith and Robinson as starter on this year line-up while they failed to beat Nuggets before on much better line-up and on fire Jimmy Butler.
It’s a complete mismatch. However, it’s indeed good to see that Butler is using his remaining time on Heat by helping them since he is getting paid which might backfire him in the future in case he will be traded.
Butler is a professional. He said as much after the game in his postgame interview. He said even if he doesn’t get traded by the deadline, he is going to come out and play his best every night. At the end of the day the guy already has plenty of money. He’s playing for his legacy at this point and he wants to be out there doing his best.

One game cannot change anything and if Zion will be consistent to perform like that maybe they might think twice for trading him.
He just need to prove that he's not pure hype and Zion still a reliable superstar on their team.
They better keep Ingram and McCollum since they are good contributor for their team. Maybe what they need is to build solid role players. But let see what will happen to Pelicans this season if they would really do a big move and start on rebuilding their team again.
I think it has already been proven that he is pure hype. We never saw him have a really big game consistently unlike when Lebron and Carmelo were hyped during their rookie and sophomore years. Those two showed something that is hard to explain. At an early age, they already shook the NBA and the expectation was so damn high afterward.

I am not even watching the Pelicans anymore after injuries happened to that young guy. He has the talent and the skill, there's no doubt about that but all those injuries are his curse and that weight problem seems like a difficult thing for him.
Anyway, let's face it, they won't make the playoffs. 11 wins out of 43. We are now halfway and there's no spark coming out. They may have defeated the Jazz but they will not defeat strong teams. Perhaps they will need to recalibrate their team.
I agree to that, when both LeBron and Melo begin their respective careers they really shown up greatness I use to remember those years when Melo challenging Kobe it was a nice competition from a rookie, he's not backing down and really challenging the black Mamba and same deal with LeBron as he manage to carried his team to win the east side a rookie sensation who created his legacy during his first season inside NBA.
Zion's hype was done long time ago, like what you've said even they win some games and even Zion will play decently the chance to move forward is no longer possible, the next ound is nearing and those super teams are now working harder to get that chance to move to the playoffs winning against them will be a tough task to accomplished.

We can’t really blame him considering his massive body size and his unhealthy eating habits. Only Shaq physique is a generational class while Zion is just pure hype that can’t last in long games. It’s very hard to become consistent if your body is high maintenance while the player itself doesn’t maintain it properly.
Looking at his thoughts that he gets a lot of rebound means he receives a lot of physical contact and pressure on his legs just to keep jumping with his body size. I think he need to cut some weight in able to achieve consistency with his body.
He is a glass cannon that explosive when he is in the condition but fragile when use full potential.
Rockets on their match today is a little shaky because they are just following the rythm of Kings. They don’t have a good defense on first half. They just awaken on the 4th quarter when it’s already too late but nice game to watch.
To be fair Fred Vanvleet was missing, and that looked like the biggest difference maker for Rockets. While I know he is not the top scorer for the team, he is definitely a good playmaker and spreads the floor very well too, so losing him definitely hurt their chances and that's why they didn't win. Obviously they didn't suck or played terrible, if they started the game a bit better then they would have been better, but defensively they weren't that great neither, 132 points isn't good, it looks alright because they scored 127 compared to that, but they should have better defense at least.I can see them getting better without a doubt, we are talking about a huge deal here and because of that I am not really seeing how things could change with one game, they will be fine and will be in playoffs and they will probably do alright. They don't have any playoff experience with this squad, so it is going to be fun for them to have a better squad without a doubt.

Zion Williamson was back at it tonight giving us another great highlight dunk as he posterized some poor soul. Check out the clip here on X: https://x.com/thehoopcentral/status/1880451961079885915
It doesn’t look like the Pelicans are going to do much this year. If they trade Ingram and let McCollum go, they’d better hope to get some great prospects or the Zion era will be completely wasted.

He was all over in this game, as it's good that he is back. And with this kind of games, nots sure if the Pelicans wanting to trade him. I guess they will have to stay with him and see how it goes. I'm still seeing a potential on Zion, it's just he needed to be more discipline and hope that he won't get injured.
Keep Ingram and McCollum too, it's their core, trading either one of them might affect the team's chemistry unless they will get someone of the same caliber as Ingram and then instantly connect with the Pelicans.

We have seen Zion has the potential to be a great player no question about it. It's just his body is not cooperating with him. As we have seen in that highlight dunk, just one wrong move and he will be injured again.
Ingram and McCollum is a good player for them, but from the looks of it, they could be in a rebuilding phase and more willing to trade anyone, including Zion if things doesn't look good for him this season.

This would be really bad for the Miami team because it will effect badly on the team after what Butler said before. He didnt get a trade and now wants to play again if the rumours are true. Still he will be a good addition for them because he was the leader of their team but after all of this i dont know what effect he will have on the team
He will most likely have a negative effect on the team. Since Butler had previously soured a relationship with the Heat management and wanted to leave the team, I wouldn't be surprised at all if he misses shots on purpose and performs mediocrely.
In any case, the Heat vs. Nuggets game has just started, so we'll find out now.
It was a good game for some players and to butler also as his game with NUggets.
It was too much for them tonight with the good team of Denver. If you will see the Team stats of the Miami.
If you will look on the Percentage of their FG and the Turnover, The Heat is good but not enough for todays Nuggets.
Jimmy Butler will still be a good addition for the team.
But there could still be friction here, and, "We don't want him back," as sources of ESPN told them. So for me they already have the rift, Butler no longer the team's main offensive weapon, I think it rest on Hero right now and Bam.
And approaching trade deadline, I wouldn't be surprise to see him on some other uniform after the All-Star Break.
We just don't know where Jimmy will be traded.

Pistons being this good this season is the biggest shock of them all. There are few teams that got better over a season, like Rockets who finished 11th last season on the west, now being second place, Memphis certainly improved a ton compared to last season as well. However, none of them had a huge change like Pistons.
Because, Pistons literally broke the losing streak or something last season if I remember correctly, we have literally seen them be a mockery and they ended up being 50%+ this season so far, that is not something I expected to see. I assumed they would be a little bit better, like get maybe five or ten more wins this season, but going from 14 wins to now having 21 wins at half of the season is a huge success.
I guess having a new coach is a new beginning for the whole team that's why we are seeing them playing better right now compared to last season where like you said, became a mockery where even Pistons fans are saying that the team needs to be sold.

They've got better players right now as well. Not that good, but players like Beasley, Hardaway Jr., Harris, and having a new head coach made them good. Of course, Cunningham is a given and will probably be an all-star this season, but overall, they're playing better right now. I guess let's not talk about playoffs for them because I don't see them competing against the top teams TBH, and they might end up getting swept. What I will just say is that they're on the right track. Develop, and maybe get a 2nd superstar, and they might compete.

Reports say that Jimmy Butler will be back to play with the Heat against the Nuggets.
It will be interesting to see how the team or how he will perform tonight as there was a lot of drama on Jimmy and he says that he is not enjoying his time with them. And so there could be some tensions in the dugout.
So let's see how it goes, they are facing a good team in the Nuggets and they are somewhat the underdog in their homecourt.

Jimmy already played though, so there's no question that maybe coach Spo wanted to still get the best out of Jimmy Butler although he wanted to get out of his contract with the Heat. It's just too bad though that this has to go this way for Jimmy and the Heat, but everything has been said and done.
Currently, the Heat is down a against the Nuggets, not saying that it's Jimmy's fault or what.
But they are facing a very good team and most likely they might lose this one unless Jimmy turns to his old version, the playoff version of him wherein he carries the team on his shoulder and winning even if they are a big underdog.
