It was a win for Dallas if they use their foul to give! I think that was really a big blunder on the part of the coaching staff of the team. If they only foul Lebroke at the time he hold the ball, then, its all been over!!
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.
It's not his fault. There is no bitterness to the fans of Chicago.
They loved him for taking them to the Finals and almost getting that trophy again after their last with MJ.
But he needs to show what he is once again. He is still young and got a lot of future ahead. He can now jump so high again but for now it would be for perimeter shooting.

Could the trade for DLo be forfeited because of the Curry injury? Probably.

Another loss for the warriors, this time against the hornets. I don't think this warriors line-up can even make it to the playoffs. No superstar to play today because of injuries, even Russel is not around.
That's what I was saying about from the start of the season " GSW won't make it to the playoffs"
Even with Curry and DLo in the line up I still doubt them.
Now, Half of the team were injured, this will save them from embarrassment from being an invincible team to a huge turn around.
Curry will miss half of the season, coming back and fall behind 8 spot is a very hard mission to catch up.
GSW dynasty has officially ended. There will be a new team in the West who will play in the NBA Finals.
Yeah, probably we will see GSW not even in the playoffs because of the injuries, specially from Curry. I'm not saying that we wish them bad this season, but other teams are going to step up specially Lakers, Clippers, Houston. I wouldn't say that the dynasty though has ended, maybe next year when the team is full and healthy again, they might content for the finals again.
What's more impressive is the Pistons winning over the Nets. I can't believe that the Nets will lose to the undermanned Pistons. No Griffin, no point guards and they still managed to upset the Nets.
Irving holds the ball too much that he doesn't know how to involve his teammates. This is the problem too with the Celtics that is why they got lost to the Bucks 4-1 and this will be the reason too if the Nets will lose in the playoffs if they can clinch.To be honest, they're too overrated for me. Durant can't play this season so they will rely much on Irving but that is the problem with him (he doesn't know how to pass). Yes there are times that he pass but most of the times he doesn't. He must adjust his play style if he wants to be a leader with this young team. Just my opinion.
The underrated team right now for me is the Suns. They don't have an all-star player (Booker isn't an all-star but he can cope up with other all star players) but they are doing well in their first games and they also defeated Clippers with Kawhi.

GSW seemed to be cursed. All their stars are out because of injury. It is just a bad year for them. I bet no one can enumerate the starting line up of Warriors in the Hornets game from memory.

They beat a good team which is the Rockets and now they loss to a bad team, they are really unpredictable and I don't like to back teams that are unpredictable as they might have a problem inside that affects how the players contribution to the team.
Is this about Kyrie Irving being labeled as the problem for Nets? I do not think he is a problem but he still needs to prove that he can lead a team, inspire his teammates to be more than what they are right now.

Nets are overrated, they won't be a contender without Durant, and Pistons although undermanned they are still a good team as they don't heavily rely on their stars, and in this game, they are playing at home, so that's their only advantage but since Nets are inconsistent, things like this happens and I am not surprise anymore. Somehow it is a good thing for me. Being unpredictable and then winning against strong teams.
All they need is to reach the playoffs.
The Nets are in the East so it can easily be done although I am not doubtful with other teams which also have chances to get a spot. It is just that, when faced with a rival they can lose it.
What I mean also is they are in the West, which is fully packed with power teams.
Again, the Suns crushing the Grizzlies. If you look at their numbers, the points are distributed fairly.

Without any stars to help them up the chance is too small for them to reach even playoffs. The team will take a break for a while, same with what happened with Miami and Cavs after Lebron left them. There's a need for GSW to have an additional player to help them if they are still interested to reach the 2nd round. After the all-star week it will be a deciding factor whether they will stick to this line up or get someone to help them.

Hornets is already one of the worst team now, warriors are even worse now that curry was out. Warriors keep losing like this, I think the Fans will be upset, Curry won't be back soon, he will be back months so it means months of struggle for the Warriors.
Just forget them at this time, let's focus on other improve teams like the Lakers and Clippers, and not to mentioned the Sixers.

Another game went on the line between Philidelphia and Blazers. The Blazers lead all night, as large as 21 points only to be snatched by the sixers on the dying seconds. That clutch 3 points by Korkmaz with 2 seconds left bagged the win for the sixers. Sixers are still undefeated with 5-0. It is impressive that they have won without their star center Joel Embiid.

That buzzer beater by Green saved them.
Hats-off to Green as well, hitting that 3 in the corner to send the game into overtime.
Great fake he did on that shot he made. Also, nice assist from the king. Despite of the less time they have, he managed to have a calm mind and found Green for that OT shot. Let's appreciate the performance of Luka guys, he made well also on their match.Right, Luka did played very well and even Lebron James acknowledge that. The guy is still young and I'm sure this kind of experience (with a lost), will make him a better player in the next coming games. Green says that James really read the defence on the tee that's why he has all the time in the world to hit that three sending the game into OT and a win for him.
Hat's off to both teams. Doncic proved where he belonged going head to head with LeBron the entire game. The kid's going to go a long way. With the right attitude, He's likely going to be up there along with Dirk as one of the best players from Europe. Bron showed tremendous leadership as well especially during late game. If we continue to have games like this both from LeBron, AD and the lakers, the West playoffs would be really interesting.
I'm liking the Magic to cover the spread tonight, they let me down last night but I think tonight they cover and even win the game but I always take the spread as its safer then ML. I'm going to play a small parlay with the Magic to cover, Suns ML and Warriors to cover.
Well I hope you had the Magic +4.5 or else you lose.
Magic fall short behind just four points. I personally thought they'd make it to overtime, they might have a huge chance to win if they have forced it.
That's a good performance anyway, despite the fact that Jokic wasn't scoring in the paint during the 1st half of the game.

I have watched the dallas-la game and I feel like the dallas situation can't be sustained for too long unless it is addressed. It was so obvious that Luka was trying to play like a superstar, we all know he is a superstar in the making or even a star right now but that doesn't mean he should be playing like one when he has a teammate who is also another star.
Maybe Luka thought that he can out duel James here, that's why he did try to play like a superstar, but James has the last laugh at this clamped them down in the OT, just allowing them to score 7 points. And James is not ready yet to give Luka his time here.
