Daang Nuggets! They are losing big time on Mavs on their home court. I think I will start to forget my bet for them even though they still have time.

I never thought that they will choke on this game. My high hopes turn into disappointment. Cry

I was also disappointed because I bet on them to win at -6 but that's the life of a gambler, we don't know if our bet will hit and cover.
They have been doing well in the 1st 3 quarter but Mavericks rally in the 4th quarter while only allowing the Nuggets to score 18 points, their lowest in 4 quarters. In this game, Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis struggles but they got the full support from their teammates which is 9 of the Dallas players scored a double digit in this win.

Yeah. Nuggets choke in the 4th quarter. We have the same bet -6 nuggets. I really think about betting on Mavs +6 last night but my hopes for solid nuggets team kicks in then tempted my mind to all-in to them.
How much you lose dude? Mine was 0.01BTC, Supposedly a parlay to lakers match with grizzlies. But I think even lakers will lose today. What bad luck on sports betting this season. First on Clippers vs Lakers lose and then
today Nuggets lose. 0-2 so far. Undecided

Dallas has a lot of younger players but they have a lot of smart players, I think if they will continue to show that they've shown lately, they might be able to reach in the playoffs this season. It's unexpected but its possible, they are not just relying on their star players like Luka and Porzingis, they have a lot of players that are ready to step up when their star players are struggling.

Lol.
Dallas is one strong team now.
It wont be the same bets as last year. Grin

Although the chemistry of the Nuggets is still looking good, Doncic and KP are also working their skills to be improved.
It is difficult now to predict who will win.

But the players are still heating up.
One example is the GSW who just made a win against the young New Orleans Pelicans.
Glad to see Steph boosting his young team mates after the win.

Brooklyn Nets - Kyrie Irving can't carry the whole team (even though their 2 losses is just behind by 1, almost a 3-0 good start)

If only Irving nailed buzzer-beater against Timberwolves (he slipped) and almost a win against Grizzlies (they did a buzzer-beater), they should be at 3-0 now and the NBA critics will now say, IRVING IS REALLY GOOD EVEN WITHOUT DURANT. But unfortunately, their team's effort looks like just a waste to others because of that 2 lose and now conclude that Irving can't carry the team. I think those people didn't watch the whole game and just looking at the result.

You can't really expect Kyrie to carry the Nets. He's scoring 50 points dude. The guy's an exceptional player and there will be points in the game where he can make all the difference. The past two games ended up with the brakes not going their way. As you've said, they could've easily gone 3-0 and that's even without KD. One player can only do so much for his team you know.

I reckon another test for the beginning of the season for the Clippers is their game on friday versus the San Antonio Spurs. It might be a harder game than the Lakers hehehe.

Beverly should not steal Kawhi's role and let Kawhi lead hehe.

Well, I don't like the Pelicans because of Lonzo Ball. This kid doesn't have the will to win and he is over hyped by his father and they just said after he left the Lakers that they won't win another championship. Look at now, it's karma for the Ball family and he will never win a championship in his career.

Too much hate for Lonzo because of his father. But to be fair with Lonzo, he is improving even under tremendous pressure because of all the trash talk and hype created by his father.

That's the best way to retaliate against all the critics made by his father since the very beginning of his career. It would be better for his father to shut up and let his son's game do the talking.
Pelicans is a team to beat in the future, they're still so young and couldn't figure how to win this year. If this team sticks around in the next 3-5 years, I bet this will be a team of an allstar.

I've noticed in general, that most speculations are based on that few games played by each team.

Example:
Clipper defeats Lakers - Clippers is more dominant and likely to be a champ this season.
Warriors with a 0-2 start - Warriors are now done.
Brooklyn Nets - Kyrie Irving can't carry the whole team (even though their 2 losses is just behind by 1, almost a 3-0 good start)

You nailed it brother. Most of the speculators are like that and base the finals speculation on the last and current performance of a team. It isn't enough if that's the only basis and the league is still on its way far from the play offs. But we can't blame the others for being like that, honestly I'm also like that whenever I've watched a great performance of a team that I like and even those teams that I don't like. As long as the performance is impressive.

Unfortunately that's how people judge and that is the basis of the odds marker to change the odds a bit for the future NBA champion.
I am not sure if that line is still available until now but as long as its still up, there will be a continues changes especially if the team are performing beyond expectation.

This is the proof that Lonzo Ball playing for three seasons in NBA improved. Numbers don't lie. Projections will be 1% per year field goal improvement. That makes him 55% FG accurate in 20 years. That's a great accuracy rate to retire.

No offense but that isn't a good basis for predicting his future stats line. No doubt, he is improving and we somehow noticed that. However, he needs to works on his "hesitant" behavior that I've noticed even back in his Lakers day.

I'm talking about their loss against the Rockets recently, few seconds remaining in the clock (I think around 6sces.), downed by 3, he should have that courage to take that last shot because he is the only one capable of doing it during that time as his other teammates were trapped in a close def. He turned things into difficult play by passing it to Josh Hart and makes a screen instead. Even Lonzo missed that shot, it's fine at least he did some effort.

Anyways for us to see the big the changes from him, let see it after the whole season. It's just a few games indeed.

The bright side is finally the warriors won a game after they loss in double digits in their last 2 games.
People lose their hope on the warriors but they bounce back today by winning double digit too,

Honestly, people lose hope for Warriors because of that 0-2 starting record?

Lonzo is actually a very talented player but people only care about scoring these days and how much you provide for the offense.

This kid has been one of the best promising playmakers of the newest generation along with Trae Young, Lonzo also has good defense and blocks/steals as well and a good height. Dude just doesn't have a clue how to shoot, he is a terrible scorer, dude has the same percentage of layup success as curry as at three pointers, you literally can't be a layup missing player on a starting 5 yet he is still used because he is athletic, good passer and a good defender, he just sucks so bad on scoring that is all, he even rebounds pretty decently.

However, Pelicans bad start is not just attributed to him, they are not a full team yet, with a good center and Zion coming back I am sure they will be better. Just give them 3-5 more years and they will be a force to reckon with.

What game are you watching? LOL. Have you seen that this kid is showing that he can prove that he can shoot three? Yes he was overhyped by his father but, why should we blame the kid for overhyping his father. Not to mention, he is having a greater defense as he grows older in the league. There's more to expect from him. It's just that, past is past and we should move on for the mistake his father did.

Lol I dont think stats work like that. Does that mean someone who increased their fg% from 40% year 1, to 45% year 2 and 50% year 3, mean after 10 more years he will shoot 100% for the year Cheesy

. Yes improvement is good but you cant say that he will increase 1% a year for 20 years straight. He needs to prove his leadership, as a ball handler you have to have the respect of your teammates, once he gets that everything else will fall into place for the kid.

People lose their hope on the warriors but they bounce back today by winning double digit too, actually if they are the old warriors, Pelicans will be dominated hard when the lead ballooned to 20 points, but Warriors allowed a run but still good that they end up winning in this game.

congratulations to the warriors for winning.

People are already seeing the difference with the absence of Durant with the Warriors the team isn't really what it supposed to be even Patrick Beverly called some shots that they have “cheated” when Durant was on the team. But on the bright side the last offseason from trades, drafts, and the freeagency it somehow balanced all the teams in the NBA. Even if the Warriors are sucking now other fans from other teams finally have the chance to see some more Ws in the season.

His progress should plateau at some point. We just hope he has the discipline to continue practicing and improving.

Although it might be true let us not do that to the kid.

He have his own life and he might become one of the best players in the NBA if he wanted too.
Sure, he had been hyped because of the family name but he is still an individual when he is the basketball floor.
There will be no family member that will pass him the ball and rebound for him. He must make his own chemistry with his team mates and so on and forth.

The kid is maturing. Somewhere near his prime he might become one of the top player in the league. We just dont know that yet.

Let's focus on the player's performance and not his family. Right now, he is putting up some decent numbers for the Pelicans.
How do you know he'll never win a championship? You got a crystal ball?

That's right, if we look at his stats this season, we will see some major improvement.
https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/balllo01.html

He was improving in PPG from 9.9 last season to 13.3 this season, also, his assist has improve as he is now taking care of the ball much.
One noticeable improvement as well is his FT shooting, from 41% last season, now he improve to 75% already.
