Spurs is not a team to beat. They are even playing at their worst this season.
Cavaliers winning that game is not because they are lucky. It's a clear upset and congrats Cavs for that.
A 9-15 Spurs and a 6-19 Cavaliers do have a large distance?

This game is like what happened to Miami Heat vs Atlanta Hawks last December 11, 2019.

The whole team Atlanta Hawks thought the game is over when they lead 6 points in the last 1 minute. But the Heat comeback a win in overtime.

I think it's different because in this game the Spurs are the favorites and they loss.
In the game between the Hawks and the Heat, it was the Hawks who are in control in the game but then they allowed the heat to come back and they beat the hawks in the OT and also covered the spread, I'm sure bettors are so happy with what happen.

Spurs vs Cavaliers - underdog won
Hawks vs Heat - favorites won.

Luck or whatever you call it, a win is a win, period.

Cavaliers are desperate to win because they are in a losing streak and they got it today, give them some credit for making the right plays and spurs losing to a bad team doesn't mean they are now a bad team also, it is just like that, a player experience an off time, same with the team.
Even if the spurs are heavily favored, it doesn't mean that they are not vulnerable of losing.

It was Sexton and Clarkson stepping up.
But the special mention goes to Kevin Love.
Again with his strong game. Looks like the healing process is over.
30 points with 17 rebounds. Not all forwards can make that kind of number but this is just a normal thing with Love.

Last game against the Rockets was 17 points and 11 rebounds. Despite coming out from an injury he is still playing strong. No signs of mental issues.

it is his second triple double this season

No its not, he already has 8 triple double this season per https://hashtagbasketball.com/triple-doubles/lukadoncic
Also, his current average now is almost a triple double.

points 30.4 rank 3rd
rebounds 9.9 rank 13th
assists 9.3 rank 2.

https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/3945274/luka-doncic

For such a young age but full of talents, I watch the game earlier and see him enjoying with his teammates. He's been well rested from the third quarter and explode again in the fourth, with Porzingris they have a very well chemistry together. Young Luka have a high IQ plus his shooting range really killing
his opponents, he's really become the big asset of the Mavericks franchise.

True that and he will continue to improve as he gets a max contract with the Mavericks.

This is the kind of star that they should keep, he has a good chemistry with his teammates and at the same time, this young hungry team are crushing their opponent, so it's almost a sure thing that they will be in playoffs as long as Luka will remain healthy throughout the season and with his style of play, he will be less prone to injuries.

Doncic was magical for Mavericks last night, triple double with 41 points, to secure win over Detroit, it is his second triple double this season

i see him as one of the best players of all time in a few years period, despite all the effort and performance, he is still on the each game

Dallas will kick-out Clippers easily, if they both hold second and third position prior to play-off, it is just a beginning...

What an upset, Cavaliers beat the Spurs in their home court.
Finally Kevin Love getting some love from his teammates through their contribution to the team.

Sexton and Clarkson both contributed well with 28 points and 25 points respectively.

My question now, are they just lucky to win or they really realize that they need to compete?

One win doesn't mean they are strong. Of course they need to compete since they are on the NBA, it's just that they are also lucky to get the win from the Spurs. The Cavs still got lots to prove and they are showing what they can do with their young core.

.. it's just that they are also lucky to get the win from the Spurs.

Cleveland Cavaliers winning that game against the San Antonio Spurs is just a lucky win? LOL.

Did you guys just look at the scores? Spurs almost win that game but they made an error during the last seconds that results for Kevin Love finding an open spot and pushes the game for overtime. And in post-regulation, Cavaliers now owned the Spurs and sealed a win.

That's not luck. It's pure performance and team effort.

Anyways before anyone got overreact, my statement is limited only for the Spurs and Cavs game. Don't take that win, in general, like, "yeah they are just lucky but they will not enter the playoffs, yeah they are just lucky but they must show that in every game, yeah they are lucky but still not enough to be a contender" , etc. It doesn't make sense to involved that in the discussion on that win.

Of course, with their roster, it's really hard to compete because of the teams upgraded themselves. But if they just point their hearts on and Kevin Love be the center of their offense, I'm sure they can be a decent team again.

Well, they need to prove that by starting to win games, it's just one game and we should not react on that automatically.
Bad teams can also win but they will end up with a bad record by the end of the regular season, not expecting the cavaliers would still make it to the playoffs or even in top 10.

Is there or will have any chance that the Bucks will break the Warriors' record?

Me, Maybe if Giannis has a teammate like what Curry has when they made that record.

I will take Middleton as one of the good helping hand for Giannis. He is consistent. He can really score even with an isolation kind of game.
With Bledsoe also healthier by now there is a higher chance that they could break the record.

We saw it when they defeated the young Pelicans.
Middleton, Bledsoe, Lopez and Ilyasova combines is a real threat to every team they are against.
They are being dragged on how good Giannis is. This is also to tell that they can win without him although it will be easier when he is around.

The upcoming match between the Lakers and Bucks is really worth to watch. Everyone is excited. Everyone was hyped. However, whoever wins here, it doesn't mean they are the best team in the league.

~~The best team in the league is Dallas Mavericks (don't take this seriously, I'm biased lol).~~

Haha. I can read that.
Of course, because I know you are a full Mavericks fan.

It will be more profitable at West though. Grin

Lakers and Clippers taking the top seed while on the other hand we can see them suddenly losing to a lower seed team unlike in the East. It does not happen much there.

So if this standing will not move, (just an if, dont bash me please Grin

) Lakers will be meeting the Suns which have defeated strong teams like the Clippers and 76ers. They are unpredictable or should we say inconsistent. Grin

They might win or they might lose.
Next is the Clippers against the Kings which won against Mavericks, Rockets, Thunder, Nuggets and the Jazz. It is almost the same as the Suns. Unpredictable.
Love to bet with low seeds, my hobby actually is betting always on the losing team. Grin

Hobby or sickness?

Imagine making 73-9 record and 3-1 deficit NBA finals and still loss. They just made their team a Meme Team.

I like the hype because this gives a better odds if you bet on the opposing team.
Just like last playoffs, I lose my bet on the Bucks because I was riding with the hype and underestimated the Raptors, this time if they ever get to the Finals, I will not hesitate to bet against them. Lakers or Clippers are my bet in the West to win, and they have two stars in the ring, so they'll have the edge but the hype makes the Bucks he favorites.

He might mean claiming the first seed on each conference which is really a big possibility especially when you think about how both of them are far apart the 2nd best team on each conference respectively.

First seed or top seed, once playoffs came, they will all start at 0-0.

Bucks will surely top the Eastern Conference this season but the competition there is tough. I didn't even consider Bucks as a dominant team in the East. I like the status of the Eastern Conference today unlike in the previous season where you can only sees top 1 to 3 as a contender.

The hype is now at its highest peak with these two teams. The Bucks are now in a winning streak in the East while the Lakers are the ones who are dominating the West. I'm excited too with this match up but whoever wins this game will have a higher momentum. I want the Bucks to win on this since they are having a winning streak right now Cheesy

What momentum are we talking about here? This is just the regular season, not the playoffs. They are not playing in a series. You can get 73-9 in regular season and can still fail to get the ring.

He might mean claiming the first seed on each conference which is really a big possibility especially when you think about how both of them are far apart the 2nd best team on each conference respectively. And yes you are right having the best record is not everything but it does tell a lot on how dominant you are during the regular season sadly GSW didn't convert it to a Championship since Lebron beat them with an incomplete Cleveland Cavaliers. But what we are seeing now this early in the season might still change especially when the trade deadline is not until Feb of 2020 and a lot of things can happen especially upsets from the Playoffs.

Exactly. It's like records don't matter if your team didn't make a championship in that situation.

Imagine making 73-9 record and 3-1 deficit NBA finals and still loss. They just made their team a Meme Team.

Agreed, and I'm sure if you ask any player what they would rather do, break the regular season wins records or win the nba championship while going 41-41 in the regular season it would unanimously be to win the ship. Great being a #1 seed as you have home court advantage throughout just got to win those games still. Playoffs is a whole new season really.

Basing on what that Logitech guy been talking.Its clear that he doesnt even know whats the difference between regular season and playoffs. Numbers doesnt cant guarantee championship
but at least we already have the initial glimpse on what teams do have the potential on getting to finals.We cant conclude but we can already saw hints.
