I thought the clippers were gonig to be strong favourites... Somehow they lost to the worst team in the league with the Suns. Big Lol.

Congrats to all of the players who bet moneyline on the suns, I guess. Clippers are likely to going to have games like these without PG13, but Kawhi should have really done a better job today given the circumstances.

This also makes me think that Suns are going to be vastly improved, they're 2-1 now and I don't think that's by accident.

Probably Clippers just having off-night and Suns playing good basketball and wanted to show everyone that they are no push over this season.

It was a galant offer on Clippers though, it was not as easy win for Phoenix as Clippers was still pushing in the last five minutes of the game. I guess Phoenix is the better tonight improving their record to 2-1. Still early to say that they are going to be the worst team or Clippers being the best team.

I watched Jazz vs Kings last night, this game reminded me of Jazz from previous season- team basketball and a lot of assists. Their offense looked much better with Bojan Bogdanovic being back after light injury. He scored 26 pts in 24 minutes, on very good shooting, he is establishing himself as 2nd scoring option after Mitchell. And Conley looked better tonight.

I am looking forward to Blazers vs Mavericks tonight, it might be an interesting game.

Pelicans and Kings at the bottom standing both at 0-3 in the West.
While in the East are Knicks and Pacers.

So it looks ike what Knicks management wanted doesn't seem to work.
They want to build young guys but did not took into consideration into getting a good veteran to teach the young players.
A leader is always needed with one team.

While Indiana is still waiting for Oladipo's come back, they still have Turner, Holiday and Brogdon to find ways to win. Still they lose against the Cavaliers with a large lead.

Who would have thought that Suns will give the Clippers it's first lost of the season?

Score: 130-122

Suns lead as much 15 in the fourth, before Lou Williams ignited a run, back to back three's but it was not enough for them to recover in time. I thought it was going to be an easy win for them, since Clippers man handled Lakers and Golden State in their first two games.

Clippers fans beating Lakers and Warriors without PG: We're the best of the best team.

Suns fans beating Clippers without Ayton and Rubio: Hello? Cool

It's hard for any team to sustain the same level of intensity in each game. This is why you see games like this, a seemingly weaker team (Suns) beating a superior team on paper (Clippers).

Few games in and you can already determine the worst team in the league?

For sure no one expected that as well Grin

. On the first 3 quarters Clippers can still hang on, actually they're alternating on getting the lead but in the few minutes before the end of the game they began to fail. Their shooting accuracy fall down and they also give plenty of counted fouls on the other team. For me that's the reason why they lost. Anyway, 2-1 is a good standing afterall. Better luck next time.

I have not seen the game live, and I cant say the Clippers have an off night since there were like 4 of the Clippers scored double digit including Leonard. The Suns may have Excell more than the Clippers and played very well. That's not so surprising in the regular season though. Everything matters in the playoffs anyway.
Props to the Suns for beating the most favoured team this year.

One more thing that I noticed.
Seems like Russell is trying to be the star of the team. Although he is shooting quite well they must execute the play to avoid being predictable.

It would be difficult for him because The Beard always have the heart of Houston fans. And besides, he is newly traded there and it will take some time for him to be appreciated despite of being an All Star player already.

Quote from: Reid on October 26, 2019, 02:28:42 AM

That is how GSW plays and it works for so many times. Rotating the ball and finding the man which is free then back to ISO.

Yeah! I wonder if they can still reveive their "Strength in Numbers" Spirit because that is where they became popular — teamwork at its finest. But honestly, I'm getting a little bit skeptical about it because their current roster is not on their optimum level.

On the other hand, I think Draymond was really affected by the sudden change in roster and rotation, he was like the source of hype before.

Just like the Lakers when they loss in their first game and we judge them but they come back strong to win in their 2nd game and it was Lebron who took in charge of the scoring.

About the Warriors, they are a champion team and they have a pride, one loss is not enough to judge them this season although they loss Durant permanently and Thompson temporarily, I am pretty sure they will adjust and bounce back so check them out in their 2nd game.

Let's see if the GSW still has the caliber they once had before. Most of the team adjust to the way they play against the warriors but they seem to be relying still on their type of plays. I think GSW needs another play aside from living and dying on threes.

Pretty much every team in the NBA right now are all shooting 3's as much as the GSW team in general.

I really have a doubt for the Warrior this year, though D.Russel's acquisition somehow fill the lack of offensive fire power when they lost Durant and Klay injured. But, I really think It will never be enough. Maybe this is just the start of the regular season, but I saw how Steve became frustrated at some point in the pre-season, and It really is something that will bother and worry him in the regular season.
I'm not hating, I'm just stating my opinion.

Are you watching the game between Rockets and Pelicans right now? Do you think that the game has a bad officiating? For me it is. After the second quarter ends, James Harden showed his frustration in the game by bouncing the ball hard. Although it's a little bit funny since he hit himself off of that.

Anyway, the Lakers young core before showing dominance in the game. Lonzo with nice shooting motion and he's like the Lonzo from UCLA. I really thought this gonna be a blowout.

Houston Rockets vs New Orleans Pelicans, with the duo James Harden and Westbrook Houston became strong and can win the NBA title, well it's will be an easy game for the Rockets. I will bet for them to win this game.

Phoenix Suns will face Los Angeles Clippers in an easy game for the Clippers, with Leonard Khawi and Williams Clippers became so strong they even beat Lacers and Golden State Warriors, I will bet for The Clippers to win.

I like both of these teams to win as well but the Rockets hurt my parlay the other night losing to the Bucks but I do think they get the job done tonight and I'm thinking that they can go on a nice run over the next week. For some value I have also added the Hawks to cover the +2.5 against the Magic.

What a game for Los Angeles Lakers! They managed to take down Utah Jazz. I don't know about you but, I am a guy that uses more of my time surfing on the net and looking what's funny in social media. At one time, I saw that people are counting shots of LeBron that was blocked. I believe at that time, it was only 16? And at this game LeBron was blocked by Donovan Mitchelle with some anger. On an interview on their last game, the reporter asked LeBron James what was the problem with the first game? He just answered that there were no problems. And there you go, the second game says it all.

Although there are a lot of turnovers. They even managed to get a 22 point lead but it was down to 13 when LeBron stepped out his foot in the court. Almost a triple-double for him though. I hope that they can keep up this type of game. And Troy Daniels, wow he's a good addition to the Lakers with his three-point ability.

Bad decision for the Jazz to trade their players for Mike Conley, he is an aweful shooter now, he shoot 3-11 in this game and I think he shot a very bad percentage in the 1st game as well.

It is way too early to say whether this trade is good or bad for Utah Jazz, sample of 2 games is simply too small to make that kind of evaluation.

Mike Conley is a quality player and decent shooter despite this bad start, trade Jazz made to get him made sense and there is plenty of time to fix all the issues. After all, not all players adjust to new teams at the same pace, some need more time, and Conley might be one of those players.

They've lost against Bucks so it's likely that they are hungry this time and wants to take one win from their next match. And this could be with the Pelicans but do you think that these boys will simply allow themselves to be dominated by the Rockets?
We will see it but this is an exciting game and I also think that Rockets will show a great performance.

I think Utah is not as bad as people make them out to be, it was just a bad game, they will have good games as well. Mike Conley is also a profilic defender, he always has been and matching him with Gobert inside they are the best one-two defenders in the league.

Defense is making a good comeback this year looking at how Clippers literally have 3 of the best defenders in the league out of 5 positions and they look to be the contenders. I feel like injuries will decide this year for sure, whichever team has even one more injury than the other team will be eliminated. People say clippers are great, well they do look good but if they lose even Beverley for the playoffs their championship would be in trouble, let alone kawhi and PG which would be certain.

You can parlay this two games if you believe that both teams can easily defeats their opponents, ML is not that much for both line so in order to make it much bigger profits parlaying this two games or you can bet with chosen handicapped.

Houston coming from the upset by Milwaukee needs to win, while Clippers still undefeated will be test by this young Suns.

You can't blame Jazz in trading for Mike Conley. The dude is a 15 pts+ a game and it's still the first game. Anything can happen in the next games.

Conley is not yet as productive as he was before traded and this is bad for Jazz. However, their loss is not only because of one man, it's of their mistake since they stand as a team and take responsibility on what would be the outcome of their game. Aside from him, what I see why they lose against is their lack of defense. If you noticed, James and Ad can easily connect inside and as well as Howard.

It's not that the jazz lacks on defense, they just cannot keep up with the plays the Lakers are giving into them. Of course the jazz will adjust their plays to find solutions on balancing their offense and defense. I thinks James and ad is too much for the to handle though.
