Tatum is really amazing.
He did an amazing performance for this match. The Clippers managed to take a 4-point lead but it quickly retrieved by a three-point shot. The last 20 secs of the first OT was intense. I thought that it would be the last play for the whole remaining time.

But, that three pointer of Shamet decided to give it an OT 2 still Clippers won the game after that OT.

I agree, Tatum is somewhat elevating his game as a Celtic and quickly mature to become the next star of the team. It was a crazy game I thought it will go on another OT but Celtics put the game away.

As long as Tatum is healthy Celtics will be a difficult match up for any team in the East, except the Bucks.

For James, post-prime? He is genetically gifted, and together with hard work then can continue to drive and make that spectacular dunks that we can't even think that he can still do at his age.
It was and we usually see this kind of match few times. Everyone does love to have this kind of setup during matches. Who would have thought that it will go for an OT2.

I was already expecting during that time that it's the end but it's not. Anyway, we have to move forward because the match is done and we should look for some other interesting matches again.

 I am rooting for Howard, dude was the superman back in the day and he was one of the most entertaining dunk contest participants ever, I know there were better dunkers, thats given and I still think best one was probably MJ dunking from the free throw line (which probably can happen now but that was another whole level back in those days) but at the same time Vince was great in 2000 as well, even with all of that the most "entertaining" was Howard because dude knew how to really get everyone hyped like no other, dude literally went into a phone booth and changed to superman and came out, he was literally like that. I bet he won't have the best dunk tonight, sure he may not win as well, however I bet %100 he will be the most entertaining participant for sure.

I really missed the all-star weekend. Last night wasn't a big night, tonight will be a great one, we will watch dunk contest and three point contest, usually dunk is the best one out there but I really think three point would have been better with dame in it as well.

I am putting my money on Derrick Jones Jr, that dude can fly really really high, Aaron Gordon is definitely one of the official favorites everywhere since he is a great Dunker but I feel like playing in the NBA for so many years now, his body may became more sore and may have troubles being as high flying as when he first came into the league, look at Blake Griffin for the same type of playing.

Howard of course will be a fan favorite for just giggles, I doubt at his age he could actually compete against such high flying acrobatic Dunkers but of course he has a chance with right marketing and PR moves at the stage when it comes to dunking. Sad story about it, Kobe agreed to be Howards partner on dunk contest, if he was still alive he would have helped Howard tonight on his dunk Cry .

I think for this season, Lakers has the highest probability of winning.
You are not the only one who think of that, actually the public thinks Lakers has the biggest chance to win the championship this season.
These are the odds for that : https://www.oddsshark.com/nba/nba-futures (lakers with +225 to win the NBA finals).

Even though there are super rookies all over other teams, they wouldn't be enough to beat Lebron's team for this season. Golden State is already showing that it wouldn't even have the capability to make it even in the playoffs after having Steph and Thompson injured and Durant moving to Nets. Giannis may become a rival to Lebron and we are all excited to see them brawling in the Finals for the championship, same thing for Russel and Harden in Rockets which can be a scary combo for a team since they are two MVP candidates often.
Not Enough to beat Lebron, maybe... but Lakers now are not only about Lebron James, they have Davis which as good as Lebron and he was a good addiction to the Lakers based on what we are seeing now.

I'm betting tomorrow for Wizards against Knicks.
Hehe.

This was the game that I'm asking you guys yesterday and that was a victory for the Wizards. I think I'm starting to have an idea to bet with this kind of team rather than the known ones.

But, there's no guarantee win on it.

Good job, try to do experiment and keep winning, sometimes it's good to make your own unique way of choosing the games.

For me, I choose games which I believe I can see a value to win, regardless if it's a popular game or not.
Not that much mate.

But I think, I'm for this kind of game. The underrated ones are the likes of me and I think luck is with me upon checking these games. I don't have an actual strategy but I'm only basing some from their stats and with their other past games.

Then you should start making your own strategy but you are not oblige to share it here.
When I was new in sports betting, I love to experiment on different strategy but eventually I found the right for me, and my experience really helps a lot.

Who is watching, Boston vs Clippers went to OT.

it's an entertaining game so far, both teams showing their real offensive power, and hopefully my Celtics would win this game.
117-119, clippers on the lead now.

Tatum is really amazing.

And yeah, Boston Celtics won. It is so amazing until the end and Jason Tatum is just amazing to watch. Every time I see him every game, all I can remember is that past season dunk of his over LeBron James, I will never forget that. Marcus' shots and Tatum's performance really gave an impact tot his game, it is really entertaining.

They are stronger now and we have seen Tatum's real skills in basketball because they chooses to dump Irving which does not really help them to improve as a team, look at them now, they beat the Clippers which is one of the best team in the NBA, so we can expect that this team will continue to be better and they have better chemistry now.

LeBron has a super human durability, and excellent balance and body control that he can able to absorb a possible career-ending injury.
So, I just realized how important durability  to one's career.

He is just too smart in the court, he wasn't as aggressive during his early days where most of his points are from driving the ball inside, now he has matured, he improve and has become one of the best point guard in the league now which this season he is leading in assists with 10.8 apg. and he is also not behind on points as he average 25 ppg, so basically he is averaging a double double this season already.

Maybe we will see him playing for another 10 more seasons? and probably will become the oldest active NBA player in the history?

is it possible?

Actually I'm picking Kevin Durant will be the next, not a next LeBron of course but the next player who is consistent in acquiring good numbers every year even at their post-prime period. I don't know if he will still be the same Durant once he came back so let's see. Right now, I also include Giannis to be the next one. His body that was built from scratch to bulky, looks like he will not be prone to injury like LeBron. I'm not seeing too that he will show any signs of slowing down once he reached his post-prime period.

There are actually a lot of superstars and rising superstar who can consistently score, assist, and rebound even at their veteran year, that has been devasted with severe injury. Tmac, Brandon Roy, Bynum, and Drose. These are just a few list of players who's career was totally ruined by injury (though DRose seems recovering, but It's quite different on his MVP year). LeBron has a super human durability, and excellent balance and body control that he can able to absorb a possible career-ending injury.
So, I just realized how important durability  to one's career.

Final Score: Team USA 151, Team World 131
Most Valuable Player: Miles Bridges, Hornets

actually I am not so familiar with Miles Bridges, maybe because he is from a shitty team, but anyway, since I have time now, I'll watch the highlights.

Yeah I agree, I remember watching him when he first entered the league, seems like forever ago.  Dude has been killing it for almost 2 decades and hasn't lost a step.  It will be a long time i think before someone does it as consistently as he does for so long.

No doubt. Honestly, that was expected by most NBA analysts the way LeBron played on his early seasons. After Kobe, LeBron seems to be the only player in the league that can still produce decent numbers on their veteran period or so-called "post-prime".


And Steve Nash.  Wink
Taking a 2 time season MVP at his age of 32-34. It is like a late prime.  Cheesy
I have even laughed at some of the jokes that when he becomes 40 years old he will be better than being an MVP.  Grin
They really put an effort on making themselves healthy to entertain basketball fans.

Same goes for Kobe but that Achilles is really one of the weakness of players. His body won't just work anymore even though his mind still want to play.

I still can't believe that on his 17th season in the league and when people on his draft all retired or just playing lesser minutes for bench time, Lebron is still playing and leading the league in assists. Dude has over 25 points per game avarages and also has over 10 assists per game, that is seriously amazing considering his age and how well he has played for so long. He reached to conference finals and even finals during his fist stint at Clevland at 2007!!

We all know he went on to win multiple championships and had a record breaking finals at our era and now after all of that, after 13 seasons from his first finals, he is still playing so well that they may or may not see the finals again but he surely does everything in his power to go to finals yet again.

Tatum really brings his greatness to the next level, knowing his potentials and building his credentials it's nice to him keep showing improvements from time to time,. Today he showed that he's really aiming for the ball and keep shooting and bringing points that they've needed.
Congrats to those who support the home team, nice game for both teams.

 Its really cool to see these new talents bringing so much to the game. Celtics have two of them, Jaylen Brown and Jaysun Tatum and there are plenty more, Doncic is an mvp candidate, Trae Young is somewhere at top of scoring (and second in assists), Donoval Mitchell is loading the Jazz on his back. For some of us who are at an older side, we remember players like Allen Iverson coming into the league and now he is a retired old dude, so we are seeing some new people constantly, all the "young new players" from that moment to today are always different in some ways and they always shock you, you never expect anyone to be "as good as the old guys" but than they just make a huge difference to the game and becoming so great that you just watch them in awe.
