And now that Kawhi is coming from being a champion, Clippers will really notice on every action they are doing on Kawhi. As reported, Kawhi has an injury so Clippers are safe on that load management excuse.

Yeah they do have now. Anyways, that will affect their tickets sales so we dont need to worry about that. If that is what they want controlling the numbers of game Kawhi will play then so be it. I think they have the confidence to make it in the playoffs and that is why preserving him is a must.

Anyways, Paul George will likely to return in the court for the Clippers next week.*

Oh great. But I want to see the duo play. PG13's defense and another on the other side with the long span of Kawhi.
While Beverley is in the middle doing trash talking to keep the opponent out of focus. Grin

A great addition to the offense of the Clippers. Maybe they could win against the Suns next time.

I'll be damn surprised if they will apply load management to PG as well when he gets back to the court.

If they are still holding a playoff spot, I think they will do the same to PG, at least this one looks credible as PG is coming from an injury.
Hopefully he will really come back as per schedule, I'm tired of watching the Clippers letting their star sit every time they face a good team.

The Bucks might win. Kawhi will not play again because of load management according to some articles, however, other news articles say that he has an injury. What is the real story? Fake injury hehehe?

The Clippers might be breaking players resting policy if it is load management.

That's to avoid further injury.

Load management is just a fancy term for resting. I really think that's BS. It's just a shame how young he is to cut off his work load just to avoid injuries. Lebron is on his 17th year and didn't even had a load management before. So, I guess durability is included in the goat talk then? Something that younger generations is hard to keep up nowadays.

It works for the Raptors so Clippers is doing the same.

It's just that last season, only few expect that Raptors will win the chip so it's not noticeable that this team is taking care of Leonard's health so they can go in a full force at playoffs and it pays off.

And now that Kawhi is coming from being a champion, Clippers will really notice on every action they are doing on Kawhi. As reported, Kawhi has an injury so Clippers are safe on that load management excuse.

Anyways, Paul George will likely to return in the court for the Clippers next week.*

I partially understand the use of load management (for the player's health condition) and yeah It works for the Raptors. But I just didn't get used to this kind of excuse. The Spurs was being fined $250,000 in 2012 for resting Duncan, Parker, and Ginobli for the same reason as the Raptors and Clippers are doing for Leonard (avoid further injury and go full force for the playoffs). That's like cheating, you let your key player to play selected games though he's still suffering from a minor injury, thus use it as an excuse to let your player rest on the next games and avoid fatal injury, while the rest of the team is risking all their players to any possible injuries.

I'll be damn surprised if they will apply load management to PG as well when he gets back to the court.

That's a good news, at least when Leonard is out, we have PG to rely on.

Now, it looks like they are still fighting hard against the Bucks, they had a good run at the start of the 3rd but buck also rally so its just like nothing happened in the 3rd quarter. We will go in the 4th now, and this is the time that Clippers needs to have a goo run if they want to make this game a close game and have a chance to win.

A bad moments for Golden State Warriors to face Houston Rockets they really don't need another lose in this time! Everybody know that Rockets are really strong with James Harden and Russell Westbrook they found always solution to make other teams suffer in the deffence, well it's too easy to bet for Houston Rockets to win this game.

They don't need another lose this time but still, they lost to the Rockets 129-112.

Rockets have a strong lineup but for me, they are still lacking on chemistry. Its just the Warriors right now are really short-handed. Their star players are not playing. I'm not saying that their line up is not that good but with their star players not playing, it will be hard for them to get a win.

Might. That is the correct word right now because even Kawhi is not playing, they are still a strong team . If I remember correctly, even Kawhi is still in Raptors there are times where he doesn't play for some reasons.

Lol, they just make things complicate here, yeah this is just 'resting' per se, nothing is fancy about that.

Clippers though has the lead after first quarter. Bledsoe lead all the scorers with 9 points. Of course if Kawhi is resting then there's a possibility that Bucks will just steam roll Clippers, but so far they are keeping it close in the first quarter and even takes the lead.

It is just the 3rd quarter now with a 10 point lead from Houston Rockets.
The 2nd quarter of GSW is really the worse. They will need to step up if they want a win.
Their chemistry is not really there.
Clint Capela and PJ Tucker are almost double double by now. While Harden is still dominating everywhere.
I guess GSW needs something to stop Harden from making those shots first. He is heating up.

The Bucks and Clippers game could be a trap for bettors with Kawhi out, everyone will bet on the Bucks to win but we have seen many times in the past that the team with their star player out doesn't mean they will lose the game so I think it is a danger game to bet on. I think the Jazz can get the job done tonight so I have them in a 3 team parlay with two College basketball games.

Yeah that does seem like a trap game but without Kawhi I'm gonna give the bucks a punt. 6 points is nothing for them. I plan on losing though lol. What college games you got? I really like virginia on the road at -3.5, they are going to be fired up...also like ohio state at -5.5...and I like most of the unders as college seems to start slow with teams getting in rhythm.

I'm sure they can make it to the playoffs with Booker leading the team but I doubt that they can content to this stack up West division.

We can expect this to happen but its a big achievement for them already and I am not expecting they can beat Lebron or Leonard in the playoffs, they are still a young team that needs to improve more but once they are in the playoffs even if they will be eliminated, it will help them gain experience.

Exactly and I hope they remain healthy the whole season. The weakest team in the West last season now considered as an underrated team.

They finished the worst record last season so from what they are showing today, they are really creating a noise.

Being included in the Top 8 of the West is difficult and that's the challenge they need to face.

Clippers-less Kawhi tonight is quite just the same as the Clippers squad who gives a headache to the healthy Warriors last playoffs. So still we can expect that Kawhi-less Clippers will give Milwaukee Bucks a good close game.

I really like to see a healthy Clippers vs a healthy Bucks on that match as Giannis seems do have a revenge mindset on Kawhi as we saw how aggressive he was during their match against the Raptors although Kawhi isn't there now. Take note, don't take the word "revenge" literally.

They are fun to watch so I hope they can keep this up. Its definately early though. Plenty of seasons where the first 2 weeks didnt pan out like the rest of the season. 82 games is a marathon. The west is definately a lot stronger than I thought with some of these teams like dallas and suns looking better than I thought they would be. My money is still on Denver to come out of the west. The Jokic/murray combo is sick. Through in harris/millsap/etc and that is a tough squad to keep down.

Yes they are. I think that Booker right now is MUCH MORE capable in carrying the team from long stretches of the game. So, that 82 games marathon is no longer a marathon for him. Well, he's not a rookie anymore and I think this might be the time when the fire of his prime will be lit. Is Phoenix west? I'm really not sure because Phoenix is not the team that will be part of the playoffs everytime that's why it's hard to say.

I agree that Denver has also good combination of players. As they have the Joker and Jamal, both at young age and both guys could be franchise players. Not only them, but they also have Harris which is a great three point shooter and Millsap, although he's aged, but he's also still playing like a great stretched four. I just don't know why they were defeated by Portland last playoffs lol. They have a better team for me.

Let's see how it goes for the Phoenix Suns, I would say that Booker is still under rated but I would agree that he can carry his team, he has mature enough and learn how to adjust and play high level basket right now that's why the Suns is fun to watch specially beating those other high caliber team in the West.

I'm sure they can make it to the playoffs with Booker leading the team but I doubt that they can content to this stack up West division.

I don't really need to buy a streaming service because I live in a country where NBA games are closer to morning than night, usually around 03:30 or sometimes even 05:30 if it is east time for USA. I usually watch the highlights the day after on youtube (which is sad and I would rather watch live games but I can't be awake at those hours). So, it could be fully free and I still wouldn't be able to watch it.

I would rather send D'Lo eventually if the "Curry-d'lo-Klay" lineup doesn't work, right now we all know Klay could play at small forward easily, D'lo could be a great SG given the chance and Curry is the best point guard in the league right now. They can however trade him next year or so when they try those 3 players together and see that they don't fit, if it is not working then they could trade him to some other team, if it is working they could keep him, that is why I would rather wait until next year.

Though this is a "team" team not just individual talent team so they could get 2-3 role players instead of just one D'lo and that is not a bad idea neither.

I'm with you. I don't think they beat the 6ers if Embiid plays though. I actually think Aron Baynes has been the difference so far. Especially considering Ayton's urine mishap. Not to mention Josh Jackson's antics resulting in a wasted 1st round pick.

I actually think that they can beat the 6ers even though Embiid is up and playing. Look, they even managed to defeat the crowd's favorite team for championship, the Clippers and made a big UPSET. I don't know about you guys but I think Booker stepped up with his games this season. Scoring not going down to 20 and made 40 that night. What I'm really waiting for this team to match up with is in November 13 versus Los Angeles. This could be the time we can see if this team could bring upsets to teams that are most likely to get into playoffs. If they do, I'm sure with Ayton's return they could get in the playoffs.
