How could warriors handle it now without the splash brothers? I mean it's really tough and hard for warriors to play for that 45 games without the 2 time mvp.

They will have to make do with what they have right now. They are not expected to win the western conference anyway and even some are not considering them to make the playoffs. It is the best time for them to give experience to their young players while the stars are injured.

Lots of good team contender are right now in the west such as: Dallas, Timberwolves, and Lakers that it is really way harder for warriors to make on top 8 without now steph. I'm still not losing hope for this team as if we know that their path is clear. Hoping for fast recovery for steph.

Edit: While I'm typing this D'Angelo Russel scored now 25 points for their game today versus Spurs. Still half of the minutes in the 3rd quarter.

Have a quick break Smiley. End of first half and the score is 48-58 in favor of Mavs.

Porzingris and Dincic are doing great however I'm a little bit bothered because Doncic already got 3 personal fouls. This foul trouble might hinders him to maintain good defense on the remaining quarters. On the other hand, Lebron seems carrying his team again Grin. His hands are starting to get hot, let's see if it was enough to win this game.

What factor do you consider for selecting Mavericks in this match bro? For me, i go opposite of your selection as i see that the Lakers' superstars have more experience than the duo of Luca and Porzingis though home court advantage may work well for them.

Well, the maverick is on the lead right now. I think most are underestimating the mavs because their roster is young but I think they are a qualified contender and can beat the Lakers this time.

Knicks nearly gave Celtics a scare. Didn't thought that Knicks will keep up with Celtics till the end. Would have gone to the overtime but thanks to the 2 pointer from Jayson Tatum at dying minute of the game to record a win over Knicks.

Dallas Mavericks will face Los Angeles Lakers in an exciting game to watch, both teams played 4 games they won 3 and lost one game, and they search for the fourth win to be in top of the table. In my opinion Lakers are stronger than the Mavericks and with LeBron James and Anthony Daves they will win this game.

Yeah so much stronger that sportsbook set the same odds for them at Moneyline.  Cheesy

Lakers are much stronger in terms of Big Names - they have Lebron James, Anthony DAVES, etc. to their lineup but not with the performance.

I'm with the Mavericks here.

Past performance and my Instinct. Lakers will be the favorites by most people here. They have big stars, but ever wonder why sportsbooks set the same odds for Moneyline with Dallas.

Not with the experience, but the way Mavericks played on their first 4 games, I didn't see them having difficulties in building chemistry as a team. They should be 4-0 now but got a little problem on their Pelicans game. Just my 2 cents.

22-11 Dallas as of now.

Warriors' Stephen Curry undergoes surgery, out at least three months

Though it's not a very long time to wait unlike on Klay Thompson's injury, but still it is a very big loss for the Dub Nation knowing the fact that they really need him most especially in these crisis times. Let's hope he recover as soon as possible because I really doubt that Russel and Green could csrry their team Cheesy.


I might say warriors would be on a tanking mode this season after this unfortunate situation and probably will just prepare for the next season.

The Warriors will play 45 games over the next three months; they have 51 more games before the All-Star break.

Spurs played not bad neither but their turnovers was a big problem
It's the clippers that can cut the winning streak of Spurs. Yes, they didn't played bad, they even outmaneuvered the opposing team with threes at the first quarter. I believe in the modern NBA that if you can't shoot 10 threes per game, you can't win the game. I'm not saying that Clippers are bad in shooting threes, it's just that, it doesn't come off when they do.

Man, Kawhi showing dominance in every game. If you're wondering what's his stats, he's only 29.2 points per game shooting 50% from the field Smiley. What comes more when PG will play, this will get more exciting as it is right now.

Kawhi did not dominate the whole game, he only end the game and that's what he is made for. To bring his team when it mattered most. The Spurs just had no answer during end game. As what I said the Spurs played with their system while the clippers played a hero game where they rely on their main superstar during endgames.


Scoring 38 points sounds pretty dominant for me though. And his defense was pretty evident as well. If this is a preview of things to come for the Clippers, then I think they're well on their way deep into the playoffs. Probably a better finish than the CP3, Blake era. The Spurs, even with the loss, I think will be a better team this season as well.  As you've mentioned, Pop did a good job in maximizing their strengths, at this time it's their shooting. Hope we see these two teams in the playoffs, though the Clippers for me are bound to get to the conference finals.

Regarding the scandal of Timberwolves and Philadelphia. I also think that Simmons isn't a peacemaker, it's visible on the cam that he choked down Towns. As we can see, Towns tapped out on the floor which indicates that he's choking.

Actually I'm not seeing that game as Kawhi dominated the whole Spurs. Kawhi made that big points out from 32 attempts (career-high FGA). Anyhow, still, close at his usual average.

Both teams showed a less average than their usual in terms of field goals made overall. Both teams also established lots of fouls that Popovich even got mad to what happened. In other words, both teams are sort of struggling during their offense. That means both teams show an impressive defense.

Clippers win is not because of only Kawhi. That's the whole team's effort. They made a good rally that turns the tables around. No dominance happened or whatever.

Spurs played not bad neither but their turnovers was a big problem, Clippers have a great defense so the Spurs had hard time playing their own style, which resulted with Spurs having 80 shots in the game versus 91 of the Clippers, both teams didn't play that amazingly on offense to be honest, when you shoot 11 more times the difference usually is not 6 points, for comparison clippers shot 91 times and scored 103, spurs shot 80 times and scored 97 which as you can see means teams usually score more points than the FG attempts they have and just 11 more shooting with only 6 point difference means both teams weren't that efficient.

Clippers is still great but I feel like they need PG back for offensive help, they need to find a better and more efficient way to score.

It will usually be baked into the spread by the time the public finds out leonard is taking a day off.  Most people will lean strong on betting against the clips on that day.  I always like being on the opposite side as vegas usually wins out, when people lean hard one way, the odds end up skewd too far.  So there is no steady: if X happens than Y will be the result.  It's all a gamble

Backing against the public, this strategy is also effective, however this requires some research as the line could be tricky, we thought we are betting against the public where it fact we are backing the public plays. In obvious games maybe its easy to determine but doing this strategy from time to time, it will only make you choose a limited number of games.

Are they going to tell that Kawhi will not play before the game even begin?
I mean that will be a lot of bets from that time since he is their superstar and without PG13 its like the whole team had been injured.

Let us see it one more time once they do this kind of trick or whatever they call it.
But with the Clippers roster being boosted with just the presence of Kawhi it could mean a lot of bets.
Stil too risky for me. Does Vegas have a part of this for the bets to go against the Clippers? Hmmm. Fishy.

Yeah usually the teams will announce they will be sitting g a player.  The NBA discourages teams surprising by benching a superstar because it sucks for people paying thousands of dollars to come to a game only to find out the player you came to see is benched that night.  And if you are wondering about vegas hedging their books with their own bets sure.  They dont like being so exposed so I would image this happens for sure

 Load management is BS, the commissioner must do something about it.

That's what I am concerned of. I mean the guy like Leonard is still such a young player but wants to cut down the workload to avoid injuries. This is making the NBA became more softer and softer. It's a damn shame most of the players in the NBA today claiming they got bigger and stronger than the dudes in the 90's when they feel like they cant even play the damn whole 82 games.

Preserving the strong ones.
It looks to me like the NBA also want to make more money by not letting their superstar to have a lot of injuries which could lead to them not playing anymore. They are like babies now which entertains a lot of people.
Yeah, it might be a good investment but as you said, they are getting softer.
They did this too with AD when he was still at Pelicans. Keeping him safe so that the Lakers will get him fully fresh without a scratch of injury.  
We might seeing more of what they call a "strategy".
