The bad news (AGAIN) for the supporters of Warriors, because they couldn't see D'Angelo Russell play until the end of November because he had suffered a thumb injury. The team announced today that D'Lo has undergone an MRI and as a result, he experienced a Sprained Thumb, during the match against the Boston Celtics.
GWS again and again Cry

GSW can't catch a break. Another player added to the injury list. This is truly a bad year for the warriors. Their first season in Chase Center is not looking good. That is just a few weeks anyway. Hope he gets back stronger.


Anyone else noticing that Giannis is slowly improving on his 3 pts percentage? He is 32% this season, way ahead of his 25% last season. If he continues to improve his 3 points shooting, Bucks will be a monster team offensively.



Too bad for the Warriors, I guess they won't make the playoff this year.

As for Giannis, yes he has improved a lot on his 3's. I remember we had a lot of discussions here about his shooting percentage, airball 3. And that is one area wherein his basketball critics is making fun of him. I'm sure during the break after last season, he went on to the gym everyday or probably hire a shooting coach to help him improved his 3's so that he will be more of rounded player and very hard to stop inside and outside.
There are still many other matches to come, meaning that there is still a chance for the GSW playoff and today the GSW successfully won 108-100 against Pelicans. It's a good result to improve player mentality.

Giannis? he has everything, pure talent! Will he become MVP again? Let's see

Hi guys any thoughts on the upcoming match of La Clippers and Oklahoma City Thunders? OKC isn't that weak team but some betting contest give them huge plus on odds. Like our prediction group in our Local, OKC has a + 8.5 score points against Clippers.

I know somehow Clippers will triumph since their team has really have some advantage over OKC. Also, we dont know if Leonard will play on this match. I bet on OKC knowing this team can always caught up in a deadly match but not expecting to win on this game. How about you guys? Any thoughts about this?

I know that Kawhi Leonard is still questionable for this game but if you see the Clippers team overall with PG you know he can handle OKC. They won against Atlanta by 49 points and they themselves are not a bad team what more if Kawhi becomes available. Both of them playing together for LAC would be a disaster for Oklahoma even if they have a good defensive team. My bet is with the Clippers side even if Paul George would be the only one playing in their duo.

Finals will be the hardest for Lakers, even harder than actually beating whoever comes from finals. Celtics are once again very good because they got rid of Kyrie Irving who was creating problems and got Kemba instead who is amazingly happy to be in a good team but no matter who comes from East I feel like unless there are injuries like last year the team that comes from west will win it all.

Clippers is still awesome but they are not playing "awesome" so far or at least not as well as they could, we haven't seen a 100% healthy clippers all year. Lakers versus Clippers with no injuries on both sides for 7 games in a row would be the most fun series we had in years. Hopefully, both teams could handle the load management and get their teams healthy into playoffs.

High risk, high profit.
We don't really know what could happen.

OKC is not my kind of team and that is why I dont bet with them.
But if you are doubting the strength of the Clippers then OKC might really have some chance.
I dont think Kawhi is going to play. But PG13 is already there playing.
The odds skyrockets when that happened. Clippers might really win, it is the +8.5 which have chances at garbage time.

Just one wrong move which they make could lose all the efforts of taking the 1st spot or the 2nd spot in the season.

The Lakers are already winning, we can't question their consistency now as they are holding the best record in the league, Lakers had never had this kind of run last season so its expected that they will be in the playoffs.

Maybe there are possibilities that they will miss again this season if Lebron James will be injured and will not be able to play for like months, but hopefully it will not happen and based on Lebron's history, he never had any serious injury so let's rate that as "less likely" to happen.

The Lakers never had a record like that since kobe was about to retiring i think that was 9 years ago. Very much sure they will secure a spot in the playoffs all they need to do is be healthy for the rest of the season and they might as well do what the clippers is doing with the load management for their superstars.

It's been a while, after the Lakers won a championship with Gasol, Odom, and Fisher, the Lakers were never an exciting to watch anymore especially when Kobe got injured and decrease his production. Now, we are seeing a healthy team with Lebron and AD and LA are so lucky they have 2 super teams in their city and these 2 also are the heavy favorites to win an NBA championship this season.

James had another monster games against the Hawks, almost getting a triple double with 33 points, 12 assists and 7 rebounds, and six other players in double digits. Blistering start for them in the first quarter, I thought that Hawks won't score at least 10 point in that quarter.

They try to get closer when Bron in not playing inside and trim the lead, however when he return, he restore the lead again. Good win for the Lakers the score 122-101.
Very impressive appearance from LeBron and in this game there is a special guest at the Staples Center today, Kobe Bryant coming up with his daughter watched the game in front and had a handshake with LeBron during the match.

I was thinking, If Kobe is 5 years younger and still playing in the NBA today, is it possible for LeBron and Kobe to play in the same team? Specifically in LA Lakers. I mean the NBA trend today is like having a constellation of stars on one team. Teams who have 3 or 4 allstars. And if LeBron and Kobe both played in LA, can they beat a healthy 2018 GSW team?
that could have happened because in his interview LeBron admired Kobe and Kobe was an example of a true lakers player. but that seems difficult, it's become more exciting if one is on the clippers so that the competition between the two players and club more higher lol

It would have been interesting to see Kobe and LeBron playing at the same time in Lakers. It is known that LeBron was Kobe's successor. But 5 years younger version, Kobe is around 35 which is old and past his prime. I'm afraid the salary cap won't be enough too unless Davis is not joining them. I still think old Kobe plus LeBron and Davis aren't enough to beat that healthy KD-Curry-Klay combo.  
I don't think its gonna happen, Kobe would demand the ball and the Lakers will loss, lol..
Let's give Kobe his retirement, he already past his prime and he retired because of ankle injury which limited his capability in the court.

To lead the Lakers, it should be Lebron because we are already seeing now that they might be a championship contender.
Agree to that, Kobe even he can contribute but his age and that ankle injury will limit his capabilities. We already seeing another championship
contender being formed by Lebron and Davis, if they both continue to have healthy conditions they probably can bring Lakers to the top and
chance to compete for the title and win.

Let Kobe rest and enjoy watching his successor to bring his team back to the champion caliber team.

Lebron makes it more entertaining carrying 33 points and those amazing 3's. Lakers have a good blend of chemistry, they are enjoying the game
and they are sharing the ball, the system is really working with Lebron creating the play and making good space to his teammates.

That Handshake with Kobe shows respect from Lebron, And that acknowledgement from the crowd Kobe really being love by the lakers fans..

Lebron if he could bring championships to the Lakers will also get the same acknowledgement from the Lakers fans, Magic and Kobe seems to be the favourite today but I'm sure Lebron will have his team if he can bring another trophy for the Lakers fans.

Yup, it was really an impressive show by Lebron specially his outside shooting. Speaking of Kobe's daughter, just watch this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3F9zB-t1cHQ.  Grin, taking a fadeaway just like his dad.

It's an early celebration for their coming championship this season.
yeah its too early because the real battle is in the playoffs.


Just one wrong move which they make could lose all the efforts of taking the 1st spot or the 2nd spot in the season.
It wont matter anymore and wont be written in history.

This is also why they are saving energies of their superstar and somehow keeping them safe to avoid injuries.
They are already preparing them for the playoffs even though it is still far away.

The real value of Lebron James will be seen in the playoffs, once he is in the playoffs in the past few season, he always get to the NBA finals, just last season he miss the playoffs so probably he would be in the Finals this season too, however, the journey would be harder because he is the West, if he was able to dominate the teams in the East when he was still playing with the Heat and the Cavaliers, in the West its gonna be a different story.

The Bucks is still an immature team compared to more veteran team, they will most likely choke during playoffs or even in a crucial matches. I think they will reach the finals only if they can acquire veteran players who can lead them during clutch times.
A little bit harsh but true anyways Grin. Actually, I still can't believe that Raptors able to beat them last year's conference and I know some of you might agree with me. Well, that's normal but I hope they are now growing further. For me, Bucks don't necessarily need veteran players, they can be veterans on their own instead.
After they loss against the Raptors, that's the time I was convince that they are not a championship caliber team.
They loss against the Raptors because Leonard was better that Giannis and he proved that by beating the Bucks easily, once they got scouted, they can't adjust anymore and Giannis was not effective anymore after they won 2 straights at home.


I know most wont agree with me but these 2 team dominate the game when they want to
And I'm one of those people (peace yow Grin).Okay that's the spirit! But I wonder why Nuggets? What do you find special from them aside from Jokic? Smiley

It's not only because of Jokic, if you look at the scoring you will be convince that they are working as a team.
This is their 2nd season that they are doing well so that chemistry keeps improving helping them to win games.

His jump shot in general, guarded or not he seems to be on the target on this game. I thought that he had a triple double. Anyways, Lakers line up really looking comfortable with James on the floor as play maker. He can still go to the basket and dunk even at his age.

And then Davis with his own fade away, Green hitting corners three's and Kuzma finishing the game with outside shooting. It feels like Miami Heat version of James is in the house that night.

yeah its too early because the real battle is in the playoffs.

Though it's too early to tell, we can really see how the Lakers handle every game and with LeBron running the offense for them , I don't think they would miss the finals this season.
If they will be in the Finals this season, just expect already that they will win the NBA championship.
The strong teams are in the West, if Lebron will battle the Bucks, I can tell that it might not be a long series but if Lebron will play against the Clippers in the West Finals, we will see which the better team and for sure its not gonna be for them.

PG and Leonard if they build their chemistry together, for me they will be the best team in the west.
