Whats the odds for this man's MVP? I think we missed that.
Yeah, we really miss that. his odds according to https://www.thelines.com/odds/nba-mvp/ was +3300

That's a great odds if we have  beat earlier because now I search in my sportsbook, NBA futures for MVP is not anymore available.

Well the lakers are looking a lot better than last year that's for sure. Davis and Green seemed to have fitted well so far. For Lebron and LAL haters out there, this current roster may run pretty deep in the playoffs if you base it on their recent games. Lebron may have finally built the team he's looking for to win a championship in the west. Coach pop honestly don't have all the tools yet to be back as a title contender.

They are way better than last year. They have champion players like McGee, Danny Green, Rondo and Lebron. They acquired an All-Star in Davis and Howard and they are a very tall and physical team right now. They are already a contender when they acquired AD and now they are surrounded with experienced players. That makes them even more dangerous.

Dallas is still strong for me considering they fought well and even put the Lakers in that kind of position giving them a difficult time to win the game.

Dallas showing consistency and just win simply today by 20 points against the Mavericks, and we got Doncic again going a triple double in this game.
Congrats to the management of the Dallas Mavericks, they just form the future of Dallas that might deliver them another championship.

I think you have typo right there. Dallas against Cleveland instead?
The acquisition of Doncic in Dallas is a huge win in the draft pick. That kid has been playing with the pros when he was still 16 look at him right now he doesn't look like a 20 year old going against the worlds best basketball players. Dallas should keep him for the rest of his nba career.

Sorry, that was a typo, it was against the Cavaliers.
Doncic was already telling before that he is so comfortable playing in the NBA, and although there are fans out there who are not convince him to be the ROY of year last season but now he is proving it, this kid is cool, he gets better and better and kudos to his team for surrounding him with good players.

It's easier to say and criticize than to be in the actual situation though. That might be one of the lapses from the coaching staff.

I'm rooting for Mavericks on that game but not blaming anyone especially the coaching staff. Of course, we as a viewer can think of a good way out of that crucial situation however we aren't pressured compare to those people who are actually on the court. These guys are professional but sometimes there are really times that they can't make a quick decision, not because they didn't think of it but actually they have another thing in mind.


Right.
Pressure in game is really way different than just watching the game. We can all see their errors but that is the camera view. Coaches don't have that luxury. They just have their eyes and their mind to use in game.
You cannot see everything that will happen out there and that is why he have assistants and other staffs.
Somehow if one of those people missed to tell the coach what could be the idea then it will still be the coach which is to be blamed.

Dallas is still strong for me considering they fought well and even put the Lakers in that kind of position giving them a difficult time to win the game.

Mav's primary plan is not to foul as they already had a 1 position lead. That's either an overtime or a win. I bet nobody thinks of fouling a Laker and use the foul to give in the first place. That situation was quick and It's already late for them to react as the ball was on Lebron's hand leaving his defender. The help defense from the Mavs to defend Lebron while driving the lane in the dying seconds is somehow unnecessary. Lebron will never take that shot knowing they need 3 to tie the game.

LeBron transcended from a small forward to an all around player. Spurs will definitely find ways to stop LeBron but right now, he has more reliable teammates than before. I think the Spurs will have their hands full against the new Lakers line-up.
I don't see a player who has the skills like Leonard in the spurs, so no one can stop him.
Most likely its Rudy Gay that will take charge of Lebron but with Lebron's size, I think he will just dominate that match up.

Also, Davis, he will be guarded by LA which was getting inconsistent, so let's see who will win that match up but for me its definitely AD.
Green is a good shooter and he play his old team, hopefully they'll not regret trading him.

That will be seen in the tape afterwards. So let us not give all the bad thought about their coach.

Yes it will surely be addressed and they will charged it to experienced.

Sounded like a Lebron hater. Grin
I dont like him but I dont hate him neither. I love other players than him.

Indeed a hater. I dont understand why people needs to put a hate to a player if they just simply dont like them, hating ain't necessary. Funny how he call him LeBroke when his bank account is so fat  Grin


Cases like that happens and that depends on the coach on how he will react in an instant. It aint a simple job specially when in those kind of situations.
Mostly we can see their errors but they cannot while the game is being played. That will be seen in the tape afterwards. So let us not give all the bad thought about their coach.

Another new challenge for Los Angeles Lakers tonight when they face San Antonio Spurs in At Center, both teams played 5 games,
I believe that LA Lakers can pull this off as well. Their All Star Players are enough to conquer Spurs. (most probably). On the other hand, DeRozan and his team got a homecourt advantage tho which can add up to their self cofidence Smiley. Let's find out.
Lakers had the momentum, they are in a winning streak so they probably continue that here.
Spurs are known as a good team which knows lebron really well, but this is a different Lebron because he does not only elevated his game, he also trust his teammates a lot which I think they will again dominate the inside, Spurs will definitely feel the inside Presense of the Lakers.

both teams played 5 games, they win four and lost one and both teams have a great performance and both teams lost their one game against Los Angeles Clippers !
This is a clear sign that Clippers (Kawhi to be more specific) is their kryptonite. Change my mind Grin.

Gonna wake up early  to watch Clippers vs Jazz. Few days ago Jazz managed to beat Kawhi-less Clippers, but he will be back for this game. I am thinking about taking   Clippers at -4.5 tonight and to add Pacers  at -1.5 against Bulls.

Spurs vs Lakers might be interesting as well, but i think I will skip that one as it might go either way.

Did someone watched the game of Detroit Piston against Chicago Bulls yesterday? I mean it's Derrick Rose and it's his hometown. He get's standing ovation from Bulls crowd to chicago return, that feels of how much they love D. Rose and a sign of comeback in chicago continue and end what you've started on us.

You should know that Derrick Rose only loves the city of Chicago not the team itself. Remember that they are the ones who lost faith in him that is why he got traded away which has started him to become a journey man in the NBA, his injury ruined his career but the team itself ruined his heart. I doubt that he will return to the team without any kind of organizational changes for the team, remember that when Coach Thibs left the team and went to Minnesota he was quickly recruited in there to play, and he was really the one who he is chasing. Without him or any kind of familiar face in the Bulls I don't think he will be wearing their uniform any time soon, maybe in his retirement or so.

Yeah that always a do we or dont we play.  Up by 3 and defending straight up or foul right away.  I dont think the odds are much different each way.  I would always foul in that instance though and hope they cant execute a foul shot and a miss shot and the rebound.

Indeed, wise coach will maximize types of advantage like this, though we don't know what's really behind last play, but there's a lots of lapses from that last play, Howard holds Curry and it's noticeable can't find any reason why the ref would not call that foul. But moving on, Lebron have a high
night from that game playing like the same old King, showing Luka and Kristop that he still got it.
