I still think and see that Harden is still the leader of Houston up to know, and I think Russ knows his place in his team. Although there are glimpse that he really wanted to take over, he doesn't because he has mature enough.

I agree. I really thought that WB could surpass Harden and become the leader of the team or even become the franchise player just like he did to Durant. But, little did I know that was only the first game. Great game to the both of them though. They both had a nice scoring runs and took half of the score.

Maybe Russ is taking 3's because he really wanted to show his detractors that he can really shot. But we all know he hasn't improved, not yet. But as far as assists he still has it. Speaking of the game:

You're wrong. The reason why Russ is taking 3's instead of his bread and butter shot(mid-range shot) is that Mike D'Antoni only created a roster that are only shooting threes and shooting in the paint. This is why they added WB since he can create openings that can put a lot of guys to take an open shot or destroy the rim at his drives. Can't expect less from a force of nature guy. This is why CP3 learned that process the hard way. CP3's best shots came from the mid range.

Celtics played amazingly even without the Hayward part of the game, Spurs looked not good at all on offense. They were not good on defense neither, Dejounte came back this season and he did had some great games but he doesn't look like the old himself when he became an all-NBA defensive player, this dude is young and we can give him some slack to come back from a season long injury to become like he used to be.

However, there is no reason for Lamarcus to be this bad, he had literally 2 good games all season and he looks like a shell of himself, I understand he is older but dude is playing horribly, Bellineli plays horribly as well and Derozans play style is not right for the league anymore, Spurs will need to rebuild hard on their 3-4-5 spots to actually find players that are younger and more suitable for the current NBA systems. That may take couple years at least.

Wow clippers and lakers have near votes I really like those two teams and they are both have team work. But Im not change my mind In solid fan of Golden state warriors and I think this 2020 NBA Season this team will be grandchampion and Stepehen Curry is the MVP but for sure there is a lot of teams now who are have a good background in basketball so for sure it will be exciting.

Golden state probably wont even sniff the playoffs this year. Wouldn't be surprised if they are picking in the top 5 of the draft this year. Klay ain't coming back this year and by the time steph is healthy he will probably be disinterested as they will be so far down the board. Maybe next year but 2020 is a guaranteed losing season for the dubs.

I guess you are not yet aware of what's happening to your favorite team. The Warriors could be out of playoff contention even before Steph Curry returns from a three months layoff due to his hand injury. You should be ready to be disappointed as your team loses most of their home and away matches.

I don't think Kerr can produce magic for this team with Green and Russell leading their young roster.

The West is filled with power house players, they would be better to adjust now and win games if they still want to enter the playoffs.

They can't do that because only rely on D'Angelo Russell for the team's scoring, this guy made a good scoring nights in the last 2 games but still they loss in those 2 games. Even if Curry will come back, there's only a small improvement that we can expect from this team, so basically, they are likely to be out in the playoffs since they are not produce a win now.

Warriors are rank last in the west, with 2-8 win-loss record, its a complete opposite compared to their past seasons.

Actually it is different with just the presence of Steph. They become a monster all of a sudden.
The guy just have that kind of energy that could make the team look more awesome.

He is the 2 time season MVP of the league and he is still young for me.
Bad things really happen, specially with stars. That is why I talk healthy here, who wants their idols to be in bed for a long time? I dont think that is how we think here.
But as I say, shit happens. And the GSW team is now in a shitty moment.

Warriors are over this season. Curry will just have to take a rest for the whole season. I mean they came a long way winning 3 championships and I think this is the perfect time for them to rest and be back next season strong.
This whole GSW roster is enough to win a title if they are all healthy next season , they only need to have a dominant big man.

As much as I want to think they will be tanking this year, but It doesn't make sense. They already have traded their 2020 first round pick to the Nets' sign-in trade.

The season is not yet over but the way the GSW played recently, yes it might be over for them. So I guess they should work on the rebuilding side rather than aiming for the championship this season.

If there's no changes that they've going to do after the all-star game, probably they will rest and no longer interested to compete for this season, I agree that the squad will be more competitive with the healthy line up.

With KT and Curry they will have a better chances to have a good streak. Time for the management to assess whether to bring someone in or wait for the next season while building a much stronger team.

On the eastern conference, Celtics is still leading the group but with Hayward's latest injury, they might not become as dominant just like their first eight games.

Broken hand, no timeline," said Celtics coach Brad Stevens. "[He's] going to get with the doctors tomorrow and decide if he needs to do surgery or not. It sounds like should he decide that, the surgery option might actually be a better timeline. So we’ll see what that all plays out to be. Who knows? It’s too bad.

Anyway about the Celtics, they've been playing really well and Hayward was a big contributor on their success but with this injury, their ranking might go down as he is vital for the team, I'm just thankful that the injury is not so serious and for sure nothing will change, he will be back with full confidence once he is healthy to play again.

My God! Hayward had an injury again. I hope he will recover soon because I'm scared that he might lose his self-confidence and his momentum on playing.

I agree that he is a big loss to Celtics but I don't worry too much because there are still players on their roster who could carry their team. There are still Walker, Brown, Tatum and Smart; I know they can do it

. Just look on the result of their match against Memphis, they able to pull of a 20 point lead until the end of the game. See the consistency?

That's being loyal to your team but I'll tell you frankly, your GSW has no chance to win the NBA finals this season, even their playoffs chances now are so dim due to the injury problems on their main scorers, curry and K Thompson.

Yeah, I am also a fan but reality can be seen now.
They have been losing road games and even home games. It is not a good look anymore.
Being loyal is fine but when it comes to predicting who will win the Finals, they might be out of the list.
Their main men is gone and if there will be a losing streak, it will be even harder to take a spot for the playoffs.

With their recent dominant performances and still leading the west with only one loss, I expected Lakers to be the clear favorites in the poll but that's not the case after 49 votes.

There are only few of us who voted here I guess, at the moment, I only saw a total of 47 votes, I don't know why we aren't seeing the same.

I had to check again and it's 47 lol

Yeah, it's part of the game but it sucks to see players getting injured while they are playing really well. He'll probably be out for a week or two.
Let's see how Celtics will adjust without him, they still have a decent line up.

Harden and Westbrook combined for a total of 68 points, 11 assists, and 17 rebounds. Harden almost had a triple double as well. So much talk about those two not going to compliment each other because it looks like they have been well already and leading the Rockets. Capela has a good game also, 16 points with 20 rebounds. West are going to be exciting to see in the playoffs, although it is still early, but teams are stack up and match evenly.

Westbrook and Harden has the same kind of mentality, they both want to win on their own, without much help from the team. Harden's field goal percentage is the evidence.

You nailed it dude! Both of them got very high ego. I still remember how Westbrook able to pull off triple doubles so easily when he was in the OKC. I've watched a video before and learned that the secret why he can make it that far is he even snatch the rebounds which is already supposed for Adams'. Base on my perceptuon, he is somehow "greedy" in numbers ~ change my mind Grin

He can make an assist because he drives and he can pass the ball, that's his strength, actually he can shoot the 3s but the question is the consistency.

Westbrook's athleticism could be a huge advantage for the team if he knows how to facilitate and orchestrate on the offensive end. If his basketball IQ is equal to Doncic, he could have been brought a championship to OKC.

Speaking of the game:

Bulls - 72
Houston - 90

Fourth quarter already, 10 minutes to go.

They will surely win this one with a great margin, and if you bet, bet should cover after this game.
