Dennis Schröder had a good debut game with the Brooklyn Nets as he helped the struggling nets to cut their losing streak.

He had a double double with 12 assists and 15 points. I think this is what the Nets need, a good point guard that could make everyone spread the floor effectively. Looking forward for more upcoming wins for this squad, they are fun to watch now with a great ball movement.

Final score of the game, Nets 123 - Spurs 103.
Top scorer nets : Thomas 25 points
Top score for Spurs : Wemby 21 points but only had 4 rebounds.

DS sure is under appreciated in this league in my opinion. There is a reason he was the MVP at last year's world cup and he shows it often enough why. If he gets a job with enough playing time he can be a valuable asset for any team.
Sure he sometimes makes controversial statements but he just says what bothers him because he is a real team player that also wants to win. If the locker room is not clicking he will say so.

Another thing, the Dallas Mavs. Man they looked insane against OKC. The 2 new additions, Gafford and PJ Washington immediately delivered big. They really can be the missing piece for a deep playoff run. If Kyrie and Luka stay healthy they will be a force in the west I think.

Curry, time and time again. How does he do it? His range seems limitless. Almost a bad pass from the rookie turns into a turnaround and shoots perfectly into the basket, by Curry. Taking Warriors up by 1 with 0.7 secs remaining.

That was insane, Curry did it again, a game winning shot and it seems like the Warriors are back into a championship form. They aren't outrebounded already but of course they still rely with their 3 point shooting and Curry could not miss in a game winning shot tonight.

Wiggins fouled the Suns player during their inbound. It is a tricky situation now.

That's fine, I think that was the instruction too because they have foul to give. The last play was just easy to predict and Durant could not catch it clean with 0.6 sec remaining in the game. Lakers won by a point, if Curry miss that Suns could win and cover the spread.

I wouldn't get too excited if you're a Nets fan. They did beat the Spurs who really aren't a hot team thus far. Not saying the Nets can't turn it around by any means, but they cannot really count this win as anything more than building chemistry. Actually a perfect game for Schroders debut.

Trade deadline has passed and I don't see any news about Lakers doing something about it. While they've lost against the Nuggets, I think that it is good that there's no trade for them.

Most of the fans have heard about D'Lo getting traded as the rumors weeks ago. But now, that the deadline is done then that only means so much for him but he also said that he don't want to focus on it.

Kyrie back to Nets, for real? I was surprised.

I haven't heard Kyrie going to back to the Nets?

I've just seen it likely from the rumors.

Quote from: LogitechMouse on February 09, 2024, 09:19:57 PM

Russell played very well in the remaining days before the trade deadline and that might be the reason why the Lakers chose to let him stay instead of trading him.
Lebron wanted to win a title on the Lakers but TBH, the current roster of the Lakers isn't enough to be a playoff contender. I might be wrong though, but I just hope that they will not get swept again in the playoffs if they clinch.

Yeah, IMHO. That move of Lakers was a win for their good players that have shown them good performances. While it's very likely that he'd be traded, good decision from the management that they didn't pursued it.

Quote from: LogitechMouse on February 09, 2024, 09:19:57 PM

As for Kyrie back to the Nets, I don't know if the Mavericks will like it. I mean the Nets don't have enough assets to attract the Mavericks. Maybe if they will include Mikal Bridges in the trade then it's possible, but aside from that, the Nets have nothing.

Gone are the glory days of the Nets when Kyrie and other companion of his were still there.

So how about OKC acquiring a veteran in Gordon Hayward in exchange for 2 future second-round picks, Tre Mann, Vasilije Micic, and Davis Bertans? Hayward is already past his prime and too injury-prone but maybe he can at least boost the team during the playoffs. It will be very exciting how OKC fares during the playoffs. The team is too inexperienced at that level.

What is most surprising to me is the Lakers are unable to bring another star before the trade deadline. There's still a few days remaining but it's becoming silent so far.

I agree that it didn't add any value for the OKC in getting a post-injury in Gordon. As you have said, he is already past his prime, he might be just another pawn here and maybe he will be traded again.

As for Spencer playing with the Lakers for free? They are already loaded with players at that position, they have D'Lo and Reaves already.

But maybe why not take him if he can log few minutes a game and see if he can still play like when he was still with the Mavs.

Lakers have little to nothing to offer in return. They are in a bad spot with 2 aging stars amd little room to trade high value draft picks since the first one they can offer is theor 2029 which no one is interested in. People probably inquired about DLo but the packages they offered back were probably uninspiring and it's worth Lakers just keeping him.

The Lakers ended up getting Spencer Dinwiddie for free. They didn't even have to give up DLo and now they get the old teammates back together. Not a bad move for the Lakers, but I doubt it's enough to get them to the NBA Finals. It's clear they aren't interested in giving up anything at this point. LeBron is going to have to pull off a miracle or wait for next season as the Lakers will probably shake up the roster a bit after the season is over and they begin preparing for a post-LeBron era in Los Angeles.

Yeah I figured he was gonna go there I think he is an LA guy to begin with. Problem is him shooting under 40% and even worse closer to 30 on 3s. Sometimes a change of pace and a new environment will do him some good like it was for rj barrett. If he shoots the same splits he will just end up riding pine though. Last thing Lakers need is a chucker.

How about the Wizards staying with Boston Celtics and even taking a lead?

Jordan Poole is playing good tonight, there's something in him in this game that is very different, his moves the way he take his shots. His like the version of him when he was still with the Warriors.

Any of you smelling a upset here?

Edit: Celtics won, 133-129.

WOW! Talking about returning back the clock after that hilarious game against the Cleaveland Cavaliers getting zero points from that game and even getting ejected out of the game, to returning to his slick movement maybe this is him redeeming himself because of the bad performance on the Cleveland Cavaliers game, but still even though he got great performance and slick moves in the game against the Boston Celtics managed to win that game, with a close score of 133 - 129.

Haha, Thanasis showing off his game.
Too bad he can only highlight it when they are up big in the 4th. Still is shows he has confidence even though everybody always laughs at him. Gotta give it to him for that.

I wonder how Beverly will squash his beef history with Dame. They had a bad relationship in the past, now that they are team makes maybe they will be best buddies. Grin

I really think Thanasis Antetokounmpo should have the same training regimen as Giannis Antetokounmpo, and well 11 points might not be that big he is still getting Giannis Antetokounmpo Comparison it is not going to be better for him if fans would compare them, I think heading out and changing his team will show him good respect because he finally manages to leap away from his brother comfort.

Quote from: livingfree on February 10, 2024, 09:09:32 AM

If there are people who have been debating who's the goat, I bet that everyone is going to agree that Thanasis is the goat right now. We all need this entertainment value that he brings not just for his team but also to us. Cheesy

Let's just give it to him as he's truly enjoying his entire career and look at his brother with that drive he made, proud Giannis on the bench.

Who knows if there will be some good contracts he'll get through shoes endorsements. Cheesy

Getting the Sarcasm aside well this is the 1st time seeing Thanasis Antetokounmpo making 11 points toward the game, it was really amazing but maybe he is training with his brother who really knows, as all Antetokounmpo brothers are just game fodder or bench warmers but maybe he will change we can surely never know.

Hornets has always been a bad team to be fair, never see them do well. Michael Jordan was one of the best players in the world and even if you do not think that he is the best ever, it's in everyone's top three, it means you have no idea about basketball if you do not put him at top three.

However, he has been a terrible owner since he bought the team, he talked a lot about owners being responsible for championships and how they should pay the players and build a good team back when he was a player, and ever since he owned a team he realized it's not that easy. Plus, he is not cash liquid owner like Warriors owners for example, so he can't pay the luxury tax all that much, it's already a costly thing to own the team as it is for him, so he never build a good team.

Wait a minute, don't conclude yet that he is the GOAT of entertainment.. It's not only Thanasis now as Beverly had already joined the club. Both of them are going to be the energizer of the team, while Pat Bev on the floor, it will be Thanasis job to take care on the bench.

Enough for Thanasis, I think it was a great decision that Beverly was acquired in a trade. I'm sure the Bucks are more interesting to watch especially if they'll get Beverly some good minutes as he can do some hassle in the floor that is vital especially on close games or when they are trying to rally.

Spencer Dinwiddie, a free agent after being traded from the Brooklyn Nets to the Toronto Raptors and then waived. He was there watching the Lakers game beside Rob Pelinka, President of Basketball Operations of the Lakers. According to the news, Dinwiddie already met with the Dallas Mavericks and it looks like they are interested even after they got P.J. Washington (Charlotte Hornets) and Daniel Gafford (Washington Wizards). But him (Dinwiddie) being there means there's no contract yet. I guess he has an asking price and as the Lakers badly need a guard that will handle the ball especially when D'Lo is injured, they might take him in and aim for that championship again. The Lakers badly need more speed as their big men are filled, Jaxson Hayes is getting better on both ends of the floor although it needs more polishing, they have Davis and more.
Rob Pelinka will probably push this one to sign Dinwiddie.

And D'Lo says with his former team mates in the Nets that they will know Spencer later, meaning he could be in the Lakers uniform? But I do agree that is one of the best games of the Lakers and then they set the record with that 119 points scored by the starter. All records at least the Lakers top 5 belongs to 80's era, now they set up as 2nd place so good accomplishment by team.

All of starting five scoring 20 points+ so that is huge. But hopefully they will be consistent with this kind of game. Also the Boston Celtics was only able to dispose of the Wizards in the fourth and it give bettors a bad taste as they are -10.5 if I'm not mistaken and they allow Washington to come back in the fourth and win by a close margin.

They need to be consistent to continue the chase to push forward for the next round, in terms of acquiring Dinwiddie Lakers can extend if they really aiming to bring him, as per report he was been waived so he can negotiate with any team that wanted his service, and like what you mentioned D'Lo might be giving some hint that the possibility that Diwiddie might sign to Lakers.

On that game between Boston and Washington, it was anticipated that after the 3rd quarter Boston will cover the handicap but they allow Wizard to comeback and close the gap.

Where do you think Dinwiddie will end up? He was traded to the Raptors in exchange for Schroeder, but ended up getting waived by the Raptors after he was traded there. He was seen in the Dallas Mavericks game, where the Mavericks faced the New York Knicks. He was also at the Laker game versus the New Orleans Pelicans. He was sitting beside the Lakers' GM, Rob Pelinka. Dinwiddie went to the locker rooms of both teams (the Lakers and Mavs), according to the reports. Sources say that Dinwiddie is leaning toward signing with the Mavs, as he played there from 2021 until 2023. But with the recent comments of D'Lo in his post-game interview, he said that "y'all will get to know him soon." Is that a sign that Dinwiddie will sign with the Lakers?

Regardless of what team he signs, he is a great boost on offense, especially if he is on the bench. But for me, I would like him to sign with the Lakers. With the absence of Gabe Vincent, Dinwiddie is a good replacement for him. It is much better to have nothing. Also, it is just a small risk for the Lakers, as they did not give up any of their assets just to get him. He also played with D'Lo way back when Russell was still in the nets, so I think chemistry won't be an issue here.

I really like Dinwiddie. He was a nice scoring punch off the bench when he played with the Mavs. Actually I didn't like when they traded him and Dorian Finney-Smith to Brooklyn and getting Kyrie in return. Back then Kyrie was inconsistent and on and off the field. Nowadays Irving is back his old self and a solid player of course.
First it will be amount money, who can give him more. But also it's a bout playing time so that you can present yourself in a good way for future contracts. I think with the Lakers he will see more minutes on the field, mostly of course because of the many missing players.
Mavs of course make sense because he knows most of the players already, the trade is not really a long time ago.

Where ever he goes he will be a strong asset, whether if it's in the first or second unit.

I think he'll have a better chance if he will go to the LA Lakers. They need someone like him who are consistent in scoring, and with his playoffs experience, he can certainly help the Lakers in the playoffs. His stats with the Dallas were good, averaging 17 points a game, and I think that's significant enough if he could deliver that with the LA Lakers.

Lakers had some great defense, it's very evident but they don't have real threat outside, I think Dinwiddie is an outside threat, so they should go with him while keeping D'Lo since his game had improve recently.

Time for him to experiment with other teams, it's not nice to come back to the Dallas when he was already traded. That already happen before when he was traded to dallas (IIRC) from Nets and then he was sent back to the Nets, although this is just purely business but he should choose a game that has a high potential winning a championship. Last season, the Lakers went to the WCF, it coudl happen again this season as long as their ranking will improve, or at least qualify on the play-in tournament.

As for the current standing, Lakers are sitting at the number 9 spot, they are safe in the play-in at the moment but it's nice if they could improve their ranking. Lakers are 6-4 on last 10 games, so we can say they are improving a bit.

With the absence of Gabe Vincent, Dinwiddie is a good replacement for him. It is much better to have nothing. Also, it is just a small risk for the Lakers, as they did not give up any of their assets just to get him. He also played with D'Lo way back when Russell was still in the nets, so I think chemistry won't be an issue here.
