One of my most anticipated games will be Buck vs Clippers but my excitement died down when I learned that Kawhi is not playing because of load management. It would have been exciting to watch the reigning MVP going against the Finals MVP. In just 8 games, Kawhi has already missed two matches because of load management. What do you think guys? Ain't load management depriving fans of exciting games?
Coaches strategy to make sure that the players will be keep healthy, it's a long season to watch maybe not for now but this two will be facing each other's and it's nice to see who's going to step up.

Two MVPs who both have best attitudes toward this game, sorry missed for the fans as Doc have other plans for Kawhai as he will be staying side watching.

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.

Agree! Trading DLo might be a regret in the future. The Warriors just got carried away from the injuries they have this season. Russell seems a useful piece for the Warriors when the whole team is gonna be healthy specially next season when Klay will be back in action. Actually, I really think DLo's acquisition still makes the Warriors an NBA finals caliber team without the injuries.

That is true.
But they have a plan already ever since they took DLO in.
He was just took by GSW for something better. More like an Ace for a good trade.
Somehow, I dont know it will stil work and that is because of the injuries that had happened.

If they will trade him in December it could be crucial for the team since they will start a new chemistry.
There will be a possibility that they will not join the playoffs this year if that will happen.
This roster now will be much better for a chance to take a spot in the playoffs.

Too much talk about the warriors, but is there anyone talk about how the Lakers are piling up wins home and away games. Lakers won against the Bulls which is a thrilling game again with LeBron leading the Lakers with his triple double.

what the warriors needed is a reliable bigman to help them gather more rebounds and second shot opportunities.

Warriors never had a dominant big man who can dominate the rebounds against its opponent, they just have an average big man and they are satisfied as long as the big man knows how to defend and to rebound, besides they have a more talented player which is Draymond Green who can also penetrate inside and willing to fight for the ball.

The strength of the Warriors are more on the offense, they are very efficient and they are moving the ball really well so people forget their weakness.

So what happen? now, that their 3 reliable shooters (Durant, Klay, and Curry) are not playing, they were expose and that's why they suffer badly.
What's best when KT is there he can help to play defense, allowing both sides not to have a gap. The system still there but the players who are filling is not the same consistent. Unlike when KD and Iggy still there they can play both sides. The big 5 of GSW before all know both defense and offense that's why the system is so effective. It will take time for them to rebuild those spaces that being left by KD and Iggy.

The golden states may took a long time before they reclaim their top spot in the playoffs. Western conference  is becoming tougher every year. I think they need to rebuild their roster and retain thompson, curry, and green. They badly needed a dominant big man as you said.

They won championships without having a dominant big man. The main core still consists of Curry, Green and Klay. Specially Curry and Klay they carry the team scoring wise and then we have green and those role players. Similar to what the Chicago built in the 90's, but since all of them are injured, then obviously they have been exposed. Although the good thing is that the young players was able to snatch a win, but I don't think they can continue their runs specially when they face a tougher opponents.

They don't play well if the three will play together on the court. Why? D'Lo and Curry has the same spot and their team composition on the court will become smaller. Which I think cannot match up with other teams with big cores like the Lakers. I think, what the warriors needed is a reliable bigman to help them gather more rebounds and second shot opportunities.

They have Green and Glenn Robinson III by now which had been really helpful below the paint. Robinson who almost took a double double against the Hornets getting 16 points and 9 rebounds.
The good thing is, there is help already and I bet Green does appreciate that.

The Lakers may have the roster of big men but it could also slow them down for many times leaving a hole in their defense.
Once they are against agility type teams they will need to substitute those big men to try and stop the bleeding.

Houston might be the one of their problems next time.
We will see that in January 2020.  Undecided Too long too wait.
 
How about against the Phoenix Suns next Wednesday. Much better.

This sounds like a service for all NBA bettors

NBA releases $6.99-per-month streaming service for live games and shows
https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/05/media/nba-tv-streaming-subscription/index.html


I'd rather take this than looking for free streaming in Google.
I am having a difficult time looking for those live videos and it seems like they are closing it down everyday.
Bookmarked one and then just now it is gone. Good offer for me.

Who agrees that he should be traded?
I dont.
Why trade him specially if he is already understanding how the GSW plays work.
Consider also the what ifs. If Klay Thompson will be there with DLO. It is going to be huge.

I think they should let DLO, Klay, and Curry play together first and if they don't blend well, that's the time they will make a decision of trading DLO.
It's just an easy decision to make as the Warriors currently are struggling and there is no assurance as well that whoever players they will receive in this trade are the missing piece to make the warriors a great team again.

And besides, we should not take this seriously as there is just a rumor, there's a lot of rumors out there that was just created to create a buzz in the NBA world, and the Warriors management is not stupid to trade him right away without giving him a chance to prove what he can bring to the warriors.

As for DLo sides, I think he will sign with the Warriors as definitely he will improve once he get used to on their system, let's always consider that DLo now is still studying how to fully fit to the Warriors system.

Chicago bulls with 2 wins and 5 defeat will face Los Angeles Lakers with 5 wins and one defeat, well Chicago Bulls are suffering this season even they lost against Cleveland Cavaliers and New York Knicks, they are soo bad! In the other side Lakers team show us a great performance especially from the duo LeBron James and Anthony Davis, I will bet for Lakers to win this game.
If there's no coaching strategy that will happen, and the whole Lakers squad will play it surely additional dominating game for Lebron and the rest of the Lakers team. Bulls is struggling still not finding the right combinations to  compete with stronger franchise.

Interesting handicap -5.5 @ 1.71 for Lakers not bad to place small bet. Good  luck.
If you managed to jump on at the right time you are good cause they beat the bulls 118-112 late into the game. I saw they were catching up to them in the 3rd quarter being down at the half.
Lebron ended up with 30 pts so he must of turned on the engines in the 4th to win it in chicago.

Yeah, Lakers rally from a 19 point deficit and won, while the Bulls collapses.

Kuzma and Cook provided the sparks scoring 15 and 17 points respectively, while James had a 30 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds, 3rd consecutive games that he had a triple double.

Sorry lost for the Bulls, I thought they had this game already, Jim Boylen takes responsibility,

I thought that this game will end up a loss for the Lakers but they rally, and once again they proved they are a well improve team this season.
I think at one point the Bulls were up almost 20 points in the game, so I was thinking, hey! why I didn't put my money on the bulls ML, but since it ended up a loss, then its okay.

Lakers improved to 6-1 now, still the number 1 in the west.

LA Lakers are struggling at this very moment down 13 at the end of 3rd quarter and they are trailing double digit since the 1st quarter. This might not be a good time to bet for the Lakers with (-) point spread. Seems an offnight for the Lakers, lucky if they will step up in the 4th and escape with a W.

But we all know that this is just one game that they got to showcase their talents because they might not be as lucky as the next one.

Lucky? That GSW win is a pure effort, not a lucky win.

If ever they will win again next game, still it can't be considered as lucky. They are just playing good.

Warriors should not be on the topic but the Blazers who are much more of a dominant team compare to them. Blazers didn't perform well that's why they lose, no other reason for that such as Warriors are just lucky.

Also, the handicap given for the Portland Trailblazers was +11. That was very close hehehe. However, I reckon the sportsbooks knew the Warriors would play hard despite missing their most important players.
