Nice win by the Dallas against the Spurs, this time they really make sure they'll win although have some small rally.

The scoring balance of the Mavericks is very impressive.
look at them.

D. Powell 11
K. Porzingis 13
D. Finney-Smith 13
L. Doncic 24
T. Hardaway Jr. 17
D. Wright 12

I think it's the first game of Luka which is back from injury.

Whoa! Nice!
So he is back and already got 24 points. It almost look like he did not came from an injury.

Here are some good bets tomorrow with a risk. Grin

A lot of risk.

Cleveland +13 vs Celtics -13 Moneyline is +700 for the Cleveland. Shocked

Atlanta Hawks +11 vs Bucks -11 @ +500 for the Hawks.

I might take the Cleveland bet rather than the Hawks. Wink

I don't think I'll follow that bet, it's too risky IMO, Bucks and Celtics are the two best team now, so I will pass.

Portland tried their best against Utah but they couldn't win this dream team.
Lillard scored 34 points and McCollum had a great performance as well but still they lost the game...

That shot of Melo was a bad shot, he thought he was fouled, if only they give that ball to Lillard or CJ, there's a possibility that it will be properly penetrated.

Yes, it's his first game back from injury and he seem to be alright as this game, he almost again tally a triple double.

Welcome back Luka, hopefully he will not be injured again so the success of Mavericks will continue.

Nope, their players are fine, it's just that the quality level of it's opponents this last few games is high. Bucks, Nuggets and Clippers were no joke but of course those losses does not mean that the Lakers is a weak team, they just need to adjust on their weakness the next time they face these teams again. BTW, Kuzma is back and he will help the Lakers to get back on the winning track.

4 consecutive defeats the coach must immediately evaluate the Lakers game. I think this will affect their mentality in the future. Yes, I understand that it is impossible for a team to win continuously. However, if you experience 4 successive defeats I think there is a big problem that occurs

Well, they are still human and I don't think they are fed up with their wins, it might be the pressure they are having. With the win streaks they had, a lot of people are expecting great things from the team, even expecting a record by the GSW. For their game with Clippers, as far as I know that is a personal matter for Beverly.

People in the organization of LA feared that LBJ must take this injury seriously.

Exactly because they really so much on Lebron to win.

However, I think we can also see that in crunch time, he does not want to take a shot, he prefer to pass and fans doesn't like to see like that.
Lakers are winning because they have AD and they'll and their duo is good but the decision making of a PG which is Lebron currently taking that position now, should be smart enough to give his team a win especially in winning time, i don't see that more often this season by Lebron.

I agree, LeBron really lacks of winning mentality, down the stretch to be specific. But, in fairness, his court vision is really good that he could make a good assist.
This is one thing that separates LeBron from Kobe, Jordan, Durant, and Leonard. These guys doesn't afraid to take the last shot and would never hesitate nor thought of passing it to anyone.

Really? Lacks of winning mentality? How about gathering another star for the team? How about giving a lot of advice to teammates pre/during/post games? How about passing the first option to AD? Tell me, how will you call that lack of winning mentality? Don't blame the man, look at how Lakers' run during this season. Best in the conference, had the first best winning streak next to the tandem Shaq and Kobe. The reason why they lost this Christmas for the sake of the argument blaming LeBron is because of his groin injury. People in the organization of LA feared that LBJ must take this injury seriously.

Come to think that becoming a Legend on NBA wont be just like that if he do have that lacking of winning mentality yet he had already prove out on what he's capable of.

In regards to his injury,i can see that it is somewhat really that serious yet his recent game with Clippers isnt really that outstanding which you can really saw that he's not on the
condition.

The next game would be on 29 against Blazers, lets see if they would make such changes.

Losing several consecutive games really is nothing in the world of basketball since a lot of factors can contribute to the reason why like Lebron not playing some of the Lakers' games as well as them not being 100% if they are fully allowed to play the game. So really the slump they might be having is from their previous team mates who I think is hoping to get their groove on as well. Lebron started ok for the Lakers and now he is just facing a little injury bug which I think can ne quickly fix.

4 in a row isnt really that matter.How about on trying to look on what happened to Warriors? They are now on 3 wins in a row i guess and even beat up Rockets
in spite of the stats deficit which basically means that adjustments would really be there.I did expect for Lakers to win their 2nd game with Clippers but it did
result oppositely.They do really need adjustments and even Lebron is there, it seems he isnt really that 100% well.

I still don't understand why people think Ben Simmons is a super star, dude is a 14 points per game, less than 10 rebounds and 10 assists, bad defense, non shooting small forward in a time where almost all small forwards are going for that super star level where they defend amazingly (even Lebron started defending again this year at age 35) and shoot the ball very well and focus on one part of the game on top of that like Giannis rebounding or Lebron passing etc etc.

Sixers were lucky and they are 100% not as good as Bucks and it is too obvious now, if you look at the teams and their stats and how they are playing, you will see that Sixers is not as good as people imagine they are, it is narrative and nothing more, they will most certainly be eliminated in second round before reaching the conference finals.

I was thinking that the good start by the Lakers will help them get out of the losing streak but they choke in the 2nd half, and if you saw the last turnover by Lebron James, that was really not good, that's why people call him a choker sometimes because he does not take over and he was hesitant to take the last shot to bring the game into overtime.

Why are you saying that? Why are you discrediting the defense of Beverly into Lebron choke? It is just unfair that you put the blame on Lebron and blatantly disregarding the tough defense of Beverly on Lebron on the dying seconds. Beverly should take credit on that. Clippers won because of tough defense and good offense. That is it.

They caught Giannis and Bucks off guard...
I think that the next time Bucks are going to face Sixers they are going to be more prepared and they will have planned other ways to make Giannis score more. Better to lose such games in regular season in order to be prepared for the playoffs.

Most probably adjustment will be made, Sixers are also a good team so let us not look only at the Bucks side.
In fact, with the line up of the Sixers, they have more stars compared to the bucks, and it's just like Giannis vs the Sixers which they will lose that way.

Oh c'mon. Middleton is out there providing good offense.
31 points is not a normal NBA player would do. He is a star too.

It is just that, 76ers had been better this season. With the trade of Butler there is no more dramatic player on the floor.
They could easily create good defense and so does offense.
Tobias and Ben have been really stepping up and look at Embiid, he learned his lessons from the lost against the Raptors.
He is now serious.

He hesitated that's why he got read pretty well by Beverly, he should have took the last shot, win or lose, at least he tried.
Being a king, he should lead his team especially in tough situations, I can't even understand why he needed to wait until 3 seconds before he shoots the ball when he can make a 3, take the offensive rebound if it missed, and AFAIR, prior to that turnover, Lakers still have 2 timeouts left.

~snip~

The Final 3 minutes defines who's the real killer between LeBron and Leonard. The mentalities of this two superstars speak up when they are playing in the final minutes of the game. Leonard surely wins the fans as he wanted to keep the ball in his hands and keep trying to convert while Lebron stay the same always finding someone to finish the job for him.

Yeah I'm glad Kuzma is back at his game. The Lakers needs him to lead the bench in scoring, because that's one area they need to fill since Lakers is amongst the team with low bench scoring.
Lakers will be fine this season, those losses doesn't mean that much as long as they keep being competent and resilient. They will soon figure out how to improve and beat teams above .500.

Kuzma was leading the team in scoring in the first quarter and it's good to see that his confidence is back.

I want to bet for the Lakers. But at the end I was very doubtful and ended up only betting 0.017 eth. And it's true they lost again. Are their players injured? I don't really understand why they keep losing later. Is there a decrease in performance or have their games been read by opponents?

Nope, their players are fine, it's just that the quality level of it's opponents this last few games is high.

And Lebron James is not 100% yet, so that's one of the reason why they lose in the game.
Lebron vs Leonard in that game, it was Leonard who was so clutch and was very consistent even with his 3 point shooting, while Lebron shoot poorly and made bad decision in the game.
