What a game from the Celtics against the Raptors, this will the eastern conference finals for sure. Will like to see a 7 game series between this two teams. We saw Uncle Drew going back at it with 43 points and Leonard with 31 Points and 15 rebounds, they will most likely battle it out to see who gets owned by the warriors in the finals unfortunately.
Who watched the 76ers game versus the Utah Jazz?
Adam Silver was there with the commentators and it was a long talk during the first quarter of the game.
He explained about the transparency of the officials and also tried to justify about the the issues of the softness of the game.
He says it was not really soft they are just calibrating the game now.
Before they hug every offensive player and it was a lazy move to defend one player. Now it is better.
Will watch it again for I did not get some of what he talked about but that is one important explanation since they may be losing viewers because of those kind of news.

Apparently, this is what Draymond said to KD.
Knowing how sensitive KD can be at times, with all his burner accounts and the need to respond to every troll on twitter, it is safe to say that things will never be the same between him and Dray. More importantly, it will have a negative effect on the entire team. Love me some Warriors drama. lol
Carmelo Anthony is a top HOF candidate no matter what. I do not understand these people saying he is bad and all that. Yes he got old, he had to carry two teams all his life and as soon as he left for a team that doesn't require him to be the scoring option he started to show the affects of old age. Dude is a top 20 in scoring, how many top 20 in scoring people won't be in Hall of Fame. If you are good enough to be scoring as much as he did than there is no way he won't get in.
The problem with Melo is that his one dimensional player. Never did try to make adjustments in his career that's why he did get old overnight He chooses team badly as well, while Lebron and Wade and Bosh chooses to team up because they know its better to have a ring at the end of the end.
Yes, he has been playing bad lately in the past 2 seasons but Wade has been playing bad for far longer and nobody cared about his decline. Dude literally played horrible during his chicago and cavs terms and now we are talking about what a great player he was. Just because Melo never got a ring doesn't negate the all great things he accomplished as a player.
So I'm not sure about his HOF chance though, and it really looks like he has nothing to offer so it might be the end of Melo train.
Speaking of blaming, ever read or heard about the statement Erik Spoelstra made to Lebron James? He is praising Lebron's previous coach Dwane Casey and told Dwane did nothing wrong but because of Lebron, a lot of people were fired including Dwane. Do you agree with this? I mean I think Dwane is a great coach but do we really need to blame Lebron? Is this really Lebron's fault?

Looks like some typos are made, Dwane Casey never coached LeBron James.
Honestly, coach is not the problem why the Raptors always struggles at the hand of LeBron James but since Raptors management want a changed, then they fired out Casey eventhough on his last year as the Raptors coach, he became the Coach of the Year and All-Star game head coach which is a difficult title to achieved. LeBron is just too much to handle on the East.
Anyways, there is a time when Casey defeated LeBron James. He is the assistant coach of the Dallas Mavericks when they won a championship (2011). LeBron acknowledged Casey's contribution on the Mavericks defense as he really stuggles on that series that's why later on James worked hard to improved himself. He admitted that.

Yeah! I've watched that game and they outscored Golden State Warriors. LOL that curse joke! haha. This will affect his rating and probably his upcoming salary based contract. I'm sure that he'll find a new home but it will be hard for him to be on the tier 1 teams.
No hate for him, I just wish him all the best. And if he finds a new home, he needs to show his true potential. I don't know the real story inside the court and bench for him. But I'm pretty sure that he will be adopted by a new team that look towards him.
Maybe one thing more that affected the Warriors is the drama between KD and Green. I saw a while ago that Green said to KD that the Warriors doesn't need him blah blah (can't remember some). No hate for him, I just wish him all the best. And if he finds a new home, he needs to show his true potential. I don't know the real story inside the court and bench for him. But I'm pretty sure that he will be adopted by a new team that look towards him.
No true potential for him anymore because his career is now over. No hate but its just the truth and I believe many will agree with me
. If he will be going to another team, maybe he can go to a underrated teams right now so that he can show his "TRUE" potential. Sad to see that there is a post here how Butler played for the 76ers even though they lost the game rather than seeing post about the New Timberwolves winning against the Pelicans. Just as expected RoCo and Dario Saric already contributed immediately with the team even though they just arrived at Minnesota without a proper practice yet. I see that the defense improved immediately and KAT and Wiggins is showing their true potential without the Super Diva ehrrm I mean the superstar of the team.
To add D rose was just in the sideline due to the soreness of his knee, imagine if they have a healthy rotation this team will be deadly in the west. Really hoping to see an improvement with their 3pt shooting with the addition of RoCo, possibly creating more open looks, and D Rose getting his shot back I just want them not to be left behind when it comes to 3s.

I am still in confusion if Sixers really did made a good choice of getting Butler instead of letting Saric stay. That is one of the pain in the ass for other teams since he can shoot threes and can also penetrate.
Imagine having three pointers waiting on both sides. That means Ben can move freely on the middle and also Embiid can have more space for post up plays.
With Butler though. We may really have to wait to see if they will be adjusting game plays for him or will he just go with their flow.

Does anyone have an idea on where he's going to transfer after he's eligible to sign for a new contract with another team?
That player has a curse (kidding). Anyway, its a good move for the rockets management to trade Anthony to another team. Now the question is who will get him. Based on his performance this season, its obvious thay he didnt help the Rockets but he is a burden to them. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25287539/carmelo-anthony-part-ways-rockets-playing-10-games

Melo needs to be in a worst team like the Suns so there is nothing to blame anymore.

Yeah I was reading the same article just now. Well if there's a someone out there that is willing to take him then he can land to another team, or it could be an end to his NBA career. He has so much potential however, he didn't want to adjust his playing style and we all know that NBA today is not the same when he first drafted back in 2003 if I'm not mistaken. As NBA fans, its really sad to see players goes out like this so let's hope (Sixers?) we can still see him play for the rest of the season.
has evolved to a team kind of play, just like the Warriors and any other good team who makes their players very important in every possession.
He still has the name and I don't think his career will just end here.

That is the spot that they lack in, defense. That is the reason they are needing the man like Chandler. He is the one needed in the team and we can see the result of him being in that team. I am not saying that Lebron James and his teammates suck at defense, they don't suck in defensebut they are lacking more defense the reason he is a great help to them.
At some point, those anti-Lakers (lol) became silent because Chandler did really contribute to the defense on this past games. A good backup to McGee or even alongside with him. When Chandler is being traded to the Lakers, you can see comments like "being old" "will not help" etc. even without giving this veteran a chance to play first before judging him.
Still can't move on his clutch block against Trae Young. I've put money on Atlanta Hawks moneyline @6 on that game and it's almost a win. Yes as usual, I really like playing with high odds so even the percentage of winning is much more to Lakers, I played on it.
Lakers won again btw, they are 4-0 on their last 4 games and I know it sounds crazy but I think Chandler has a lot to do with it. Bigs just destroyed Lakers but now they have at least have a big body down there.
The Lakers has not a lost a game since the arrival of Chandler and it seems that he is a lucky charm for L.A . Chandler though not so young but still very capable of manning the center and provide an intimidating presence and it has something to do with that win for the Lakers. We can't deny the fact that before the arrival of Chandler, the Lakers lack the bigs for defense purposes in close games. That is the spot that they lack in, defense.

I see that the defense improved immediately and KAT and Wiggins is showing their true potential...
As I've noticed and everyone else, even without Butler on the floor, these 2 guys are inconsistent. Yes they are both strong, no doubt about that but sometimes they played soft. But ok, let's see if the departure of that Super Diva you are talking will really make those guys more dominant "regularly" on the floor or else I will stay on my view that they are overrated.
Ok so LeBron James is now the 5th All-Time Points Leaders after passing Wilt Chamberlain. I think he can nailed closed to 1st spot if he will played his usual while aging more. No signs of him slowing down at age 33 (turning 34 next month).
Dirk Nowitzki still not playing. He just need over 200+ points to passed Chamberlain. A good record indeed before retiring next season (probably).
