A blow out loss for the warriors this time against OKC. I think there is something wrong with how the warriors are playing. It seems that they don't have that championship grit that they have the previous season.
There are obviously many problems on the Warriors team at the moment. in these first two matches, the Warriors received a painful defeat. Game 1 they lost to the Clippers with a final score of 122-141, and today is worse. "The reality is that we fu***** suck right now," admitted Draymond Green after losing 28 points to the OKC today.

Did Draymond said in the past that they don't need Durant? lol.. look what happen to the team now.
That's a worst start for the Warriors, we are not expecting they will be a champ this season but either, we also don't expect that they will start pretty bad.
After watching this game I've thinking about the end of erea of Cleveland Cavaliers after the gone of LeBron James, Kyrie Irvings and other stars.. The same thing this season repeated with Golden State Warriors they will miss Kevin Durant a lot! As we see they are suffering a lot in their game, Curry try to play alone to make the difference but he can't do it alone, they will pay hard.
and now they lost Curry too. Stephen Curry suffered a broken bone in his left hand after falling and was crushed by Aron Baynes during today's match against the Phoenix Suns. This will be a hard season for the Warriors, especially after starting the season less efficiently. With this, only Draymond Green and D'Angelo Russell will remain as Dubs leaders while Curry and Klay are absent. Injuries are quite worrying at the point of Curry's career at the moment because they have missed several matches last season because of Sprained Ankle and Sprained MCL.

This game, curry was not shooting his usual numbers, he only scored 9 points while D Green had 4 points, I think there's something wrong with their system.
he's playing with a broken left hand, he can't do anything, he just want to stay in game and help his teammates as much he can.

It is just normal for Curry to have off nights. This night is one of them. Apparently, they still do not have a solid system that works for their new line up. It will take some time before Kerr figures this all out.

Phoenix Suns beat the Clippers as well, I think they are a legit contender now.

Well, it is too early to tell but they are starting strong. Let's hope they can keep this level of competitiveness throughout the season.

I said that the Suns would upset the Warriors tonight but as I said to play it safe it was best to take the Suns to cover the spread which they did easily. I can't believe that the Kings were the only team to screw up my parlay as I had them to win at the ML along with the Cavs to cover and Magic ML along with the Suns to cover. Oh well I made a nice profit on the Suns with my single bet.

Easy win last night for Jazz vs Clippers, but is not a surprise as Kawhi decided to sit out this game due  load management. Conley finally decided to play, 29 pts last night, with standard good performances by Bogdanovic, Mitchell and Gobert. Jazz continues to be top defensive team, no team this season scored more than 96 against them.

This is what i meant when i said that  regular NBA season should be a bit shorter (5-8 games, not more) as we are 1 week into NBA and it seems that biggest stars already started with "load management". Schedule is simply too hectic and biggest starts are pacing themselves, risk of injury and ruining NBA season is too high,and i am not surprised that they are doing this, i would do the same if i am at their spot. But it sucks for the fans of the game.

Look at the Warriors, we thought they are back after they won convincingly on the road, but back home, they loss by double digit to the Suns and still they did not tally one win from home, hopefully the fans will not be disappointed with this team.

Phoenix Suns beat the Clippers as well, I think they are a legit contender now.
Of course, I will never forget that, and that was a Clippers with Leonard playing, but I actually don't think that was a big deal since they are playing at home and the home court advantage is a big factor in NBA.

This game, curry was not shooting his usual numbers, he only scored 9 points while D Green had 4 points, I think there's something wrong with their system.

Yeah, very uncanny for Curry to shot very poorly at home, they are very inconsistent to say the least, I think their system is not working as design so back to the drawing boards again for Kerr and see what went wrong.
I am watching the highlights right now and I saw how great the offense of the Suns, they are not afraid to take shots and most of their shots are really going in. They had a very comfortable lead early on and that's enough to avoid losing this game from a big comeback in the warriors in the last quarter.

Celtics won to Bucks with an ending score of 116-105.

What a double-double game for G. Hayward and G. Antetokounmpo. This is what Celtics is looking for a healty Hayward. He's much better right now and got nearly back all of his confidence.

The shift between in the 1st half and the 2nd half was insane. This is what a Brad Stevens coaching style and 5 of Celtics players scored double digits.

Hayward needed to step up and help kemba to rebuild the conference chances of Celtics, after Alford and Irving left this team expectations that it will also lessen the interest of the fans but with how things ends up today, it's another way to speak without using any word of mouth. Hayward Tatum and Walker with their lineup behind still have the chance to reach the conference finals.

Hayward really showed up today and I hope the consistency of his playing remains. M. Smart as well was literally huge in every aspect, K. Walker did a great job to sealed the game, and what a props and overall game for J. Tatum

1. GSW wont make it to the playoffs

Someone raised the possibility that S. Kerr could still be experimenting on his team's line up/rotation. He may come up with a strong one after maybe ten games. Let's reassess again later.



HIgh scoring game between Rockets (159) and Wizards (158) with Harden coming up big (59 points). I haven't watched the game yet but I can only assume some great offense and lousy defense from both teams.

Golden State Warriors will play against Phoenix Suns in another harf game for the Warriors, the Suns do well this season they even beat the Clippers with Khawi and Williams and they lost their last game against Utah Jazz with 1 point difference, I expect that Phoenix Suns will win this game. I will bet for them to win.
Now that the warriors have already find the way to win, I won't bet against them until they loss another game.
Warriors did not have their first home win yet, so they might have it tonight and -5 is not hard to cover especially if they again explode in the game.
I'm expecting another triple double from Draymond Green if they win this game.

Well I don't think it works that way anymore in the NBA. It's not the GSW with Klay and KD wherein they can win 10 straight games once they're in the groove. And as you've said, even the Clippers, heavily favored as they are, lost to the Suns. The teams at the upper to middle standing are pretty well balanced. The Lakers seem to be picking up pace with AD rampaging but I don't think they're capable of steamrolling through the playoffs.

2 things that are more likely to happen :

1. GSW wont make it to the playoffs
2. Both LA teams in the WCF.

Although, the Lakers may not steamroll their way to the playoffs like what the GSW did before who almost sweep every opponent in the playoffs , but It's almost a guarantee for them (Lakers) to make it to the NBA finals. Kuzma isn't playing yet but he's close to returning. Lebron playing the point guard position is a -1 against the defensive end for the opponent.

Dallas vs Nuggets

Luka and KP struggle on their Field Goals but the bench came to rescue. And for the record, only 1 Mavs player established below 10 points. That's a good contribution from the bench while their 2 stars are struggling on the field.
It ended up with a 109-106 win in favor of the Mavericks.

Jokic made a triple double again and a good game for the Mavericks as 9 of their players scored in double digits and the highest I think is 14 points only. The offense is balanced for them this time. If they will continue to play like this, they are underrated team at this moment but they can clinch the playoffs for sure.

Trae Young injury update: Hawks guard (ankle) improved, could be back next week, report says

What an unfortunate event! The kid is starting well this season and this happened. Good thing nothing serious but still, it will affect his gameplay once he came back for at least a few games. These injuries really always destroy every player's good run.

A hard hit for the Hawks.
He is the front liner of their offense and now this injury.
I hope it is just a minor and it is real that it will take just a week.

True, injuries could change the pace of the game for one team.
We speculate here for each team as if every player is healthy. They are always prone to legs injuries since they run and jump.
Now, where will Hawks get their offense?

I'm actually liking the Suns tonight to upset the Warriors but to play it safe I took them to cover the spread and I also took this same play in a parlay with the Cavs to cover, Kings ML and Magic ML.
