of course you can rely on Lebron on that kind of situation as his been in that kind of situations many times in his career.
That was a great win by the Lakers, they bounce back after a loss from the Mavericks, and guess what? they are going to start a long winning streak again. Grin

This man who we called the King has been in NBA finals many times and has won a lot of championships in 2 teams, so you can trust him in to end the game right. Lakers prove this young Nuggets that they are the better team in the west and they will continue to prove to be the best team although they lost against luka but that wasn't so bad as the series was even now. Luka is sensational but he does't have a playoffs experience yet, so its always possible that the Mavericks with him will struggle in the playoffs.

They have the better roster. That is all I can think about the reason for their win.
But when it comes to plays, Michael Malone is something else specially when it comes to defense for the Denver team.
That is what they lack. An offensive strategy. He needs someone on his coaching staff which could provide that.
Jokic, Millsap, Murray, Barton and Harris had already created a better chemistry than any other team that is why they can somehow prevent the Lakers from getting a huge lead. They just really lack a good offensive play.

Sure the Lakers have a better roster, Lebron and Davis alone is already expected to produce good numbers in any game, that's how good they are.
However, we've seen that Nuggets don't easily give up, slowly but surely they have improve their team and become a legit contender in the NBA finals, yes, I believe on that because they compete well which means they can win and playoffs are in 7 games series and anything is possible, called it an upset but it could happen.

I'm watching right now the Lakers vs Denver match. 4 minutes left and I think this is going to be an overtime but it still depends on how Lakers will take care of their 3 point lead.

From 7 points lead to 3 points.

Edit: 102-96 few seconds left.

Congrats Lakers.

The Lakers did managed to escape the threat of Denver in their late minute storm. In this kind of game, we can see the composure of a more veteran line up than a line up with no all-star. It's a more or less like a playoff match that goes down the wire and what matters is the decision making in the end game where LeBron is good at.

of course you can rely on Lebron on that kind of situation as his been in that kind of situations many times in his career.

Lebron gives the lakers the leadership that they've needed after Kobe retired, he's experienced leads them to escape from the threat of this young Nuggets. They are already have the skills and the right blends and they will continue winning if all the players will be healthy. Another start for another sets of winning streak better to follow them if you are into sports betting.

Congrats Lakers.

Something like this.
That is the Lakers team with addition of AD and Green while on the other hand Denver had not much improved their roster. Just the players.
But I cannot believe Denver was given -2.5. That was bad and I never bet on it.
Final was 105-96 in favor of Lakers.

Yeah, I forgot to edit since I already thought that game was finished with that score. Actually it was a close game and the run-in score by Denver was impressive, I really thought that they'll par on the score within the last minutes.

But well, they've lost and the momentum was with the Lakers.

Just seen the videos of the highlights, it was really a close game, Anthony Davis really did a good job playing defensively and then scoring 25 points. Lakers avoided back-to-back lost with this win.

Nikola Jokic was absent in the first half and I don't know why he doesn't want to shoot the ball though, maybe it was really a good Lakers defence on him. But he came aggressive in the second half, but not enough.

The Clippers have a good home record, however. If you want to bet against them, they should be playing as the favorite on the road with the bookies giving a good handicap for the underdog. +6 and above it hehehe.

I will bet against them if they will against one my favorite teams. Like Denver Nuggets maybe or the Dallas Mavericks.
+6 might be enough with this team or better they will win it.

However, you should not bet against Kawhi and Paul George together in home court. I reckon wait for load management news hehehe. There might be one because they are playing the Bucks on the road after Portland.

If you have some kind of hatred for power teams then you might really want to bet against them. Grin

One example is me betting against the Lakers team. I just really love being on the losing side and then a sudden win will happen. Grin

Bad habit of mine.

Clippers though is difficult to predict. They win against a high seed team and then lose against the low seed. One example is the Phoenix Suns.
Also, there are player absences that happens before the game starts, I don't really like that kind of method.
I don't want to be keeping up to date for every player just because they have a diarrhea. Grin

I might go against the Clippers if they will give me a good advantage like a large addition to the score of the team they are against. (which mostly happens)

The Clippers have a good home record, however. If you want to bet against them, they should be playing as the favorite on the road with the bookies giving a good handicap for the underdog. +6 and above it hehehe.

East once again sucks in my eye, Raptors managed to win the championship last season all thanks to many injuries but this season I feel like nobody on east is powerful enough to beat anyone on the west even with injuries. Bucks have Giannis and a great system (Coach Bud has been primed under Pop and improved at Hawks, he is a perfect coach for a team like Bucks) but in the end Clippers/Lakers and even Rockets are waaaay too powerful against Bucks. Them being so high on the list all due to scheduling and how east teams play mostly east teams whereas west teams play west.

The only shocking thing so far to me is Dallas keeping up so good, I mean we all know Porzingis and Doncic would have been amazing together but didn't expected them to mesh so well together on the first ever year together.

Huh? Milwahki is every bit of their record. Beat houston, beat the clippers, beat utah once and dallas twice. They didnt even get to the golden states, new orleans, etc of the west. They will be almost even odds against any western team if not more. They dont get as much tv burn as the clips and lakers get, but dont mistake that for weakness.

If they will be in the playoffs this season which is likely to happen, I might bet on them to win in the NBA finals, imagine how big the betting odds for that as mavericks are still undervalued.

I doubt that. Yes, they could absolutely compete in the playoffs, but experience proved to be the most important asset the player or a team must have to win a title. That happened most of the time.
If this Dallas team will stay intact next season, or they can add more pieces to make the team even more solid, I'd surely bet on them to win a title.
Doncic is a real deal, that kid is a future hall of famer, and I can say that even at this early stage of his career.

If this man would able to patch up those weakness then no doubt he's already unstoppable.When it comes to paint scoring then theres no problem on that but for outside and specially with freethrows you can actually see on whats lacking.

Because that's not his usual gameplay. He focuses on something that he is used to and that's effective. Also, the reason why he is popular today and able to grab the last year's season MVP. It's just that there are really cases where there a team who can think of a plan on how to slow him down.

He is working on his perimeter shooting as part of the adjustment. I do amazed at him that he is now taking lots of jump shots now. But for me, no need to focus on that much if he sees he can always penetrate on defense during a certain match. Let his teammates fill the gaps and just do that adjustment when necessary.

Yep, i agree on that line which its not his usual gameplay and come to think that this guy is still 24 years old where theres soo much time to improve even more.
Versatility in all possible positions is what i like to see. Each player has its own strength and weakness though but i wont be surprised if he would become the next LBJ on next years to come.

Honestly, I also want him to improved his shooting and I did mention that before here in this thread. He is young and there are lots of time to improve.e

However, he is currently at his peak and his strong built is following accordingly to what he wants to do. So instead of focusing too much on improving jump shot or taking 3s, take this as an opportunity to maximize more his ability to penetrate on every defense so that those strategies or attempts of other teams to slow him down will be ineffective. He can literally destroy a strong defense and only a few players can do it now. His shooting will surely be improved while on the progress even he will do it frequently so that when the time comes that his body is not that agile and athletic as before, he can now shift into perimeter shooting.

Either way, Clippers and the Lakers are two most anticipated to meet at the WCF but for me, my dark horse would be the Dallas Mavericks since they also played well this season and they showed they can beat both the Lakers and the Clippers.

yeah, let us not forget about the Dallas Mavericks, they were beating good teams and their last game against one of the best teams in the NBA is a win, they beat the Lakers in a very convincing win, they loss to LA Clippers big time but they bounce back a win to another LA.

If they will be in the playoffs this season which is likely to happen, I might bet on them to win in the NBA finals, imagine how big the betting odds for that as mavericks are still undervalued.

The Bucks now is leading the league in most wins this season. Though only up by 1 win against the Lakers, I think they have in the good position to be considered as top contender for the championship. That is if they don't choke in the playoffs.

Despite all this, i doubt that we can consider Bucks to be main contenders. I set them in the finals tho, for that they are certiainly main favorite in the East conference. Overall, for me Clippers and Lakers are the main contenders, and whoever if those 2 wins west conference will win the title as well.

But of course, all this can be easily changed in case of some injuries, we saw last year how that can mess you up.

Injuries can really change the rotation of players in a team and also change to momentum of the team towards their goals. The game changes as playoffs is on its way. Either way, Clippers and the Lakers are two most anticipated to meet at the WCF but for me, my dark horse would be the Dallas Mavericks since they also played well this season and they showed they can beat both the Lakers and the Clippers.

That was a disrespect for Raptors' achievement. Others really considering that as a reason why the Raptors won the championship. Warriors are really the expected team to win there and all NBA analysts, fans, enthusiasts, troll, bandwagon, know that a healthy Warriors is way too much for the Raptors but we are just speculating here at the end. Even with the Warriors healthy lineup, all speculations will just lead into "WHAT IF?".

As for the East, we must not close the door yet that no one from that conference can match the much stronger West. I don't know what's the basis but I can't even see Lakers and Clippers as the teams that are close in getting the championship this season. NBA today is unpredictable and teams are balanced compared during the Warriors era that we can predict already who will the championship right from the start of the season.

I think it will either be celtics or bucks for Eastern Conference. And even though LA teams have the biggest advantage, you cannot say that they are automatic champions. Celtics and bucks can give them a good fight. You can see how the Celtics gave the Clippers a good fight even with Hayward sidelined.

When no injuries for the team like the Clippers and Lakers then they have a great chance to win in the NBA finals, last season it was the Warriors who are the heavy favorites but injuries made their line up weak and the Raptors took advantage to that, Raptors fans were even criticize clapping when Durant was reinjured in game 5 I guess.

Injury is part of the game that is why you can see some teams try to rest their stars when the playoffs are near.
