The nuggets have fell off the wagon and do not look like they will be any good in the playoffs. Jovic looks like a joke out there and where is murray with those three point sinkers in the final minutes of the game?
There last two games they failed to score more than 100 points in a game. They cant blame it on making it through to just stroll past in the regular season. Very disappointing for their home fans to see them in their next game. Undecided

yeah whatever it is because itnis very clear to now that the team who manages to reach thr magic 4 in easter and western conference will be the same in this season. GSW has a lot pf good players and definitely they still.has the high chance in winning again the overall championship.

Anyway, there are many good teams to consider so whatever the result is when there is a championship game and it will.involve GSW then i should not miss to bet on GSW again like lasy year. Betting takes the win whoever the team wins the championship.

Anyone seen the Warriors vs Wolves game? A lot of controversial calls in that game. Well, first off, Curry led the team from 9 point down in the last 1.5 minutes hitting threes. But prior to that with 5.8 seconds left, Durant hit a three and get fouled. I thought it was going to be a four point play and give the Warriors the lead by it's waved by the referee, to my surprised. Then Curry buries a three to tie the game with 0.5 seconds. The only possible way to score at this point for the Wolves is to lobe a pass to KAT, it was long. However, the referee called a crucial foul on Durant for pushing KAT, very controversial. KAT made 1 out of 2. Giving the Wolves 131-130 win. What are you thoughts? Is it a right call?

I don't know. Maybe it's the referee's way of getting back at Curry taunting one of them after he made a three in 0.5 seconds. Although the ref didn't see it because he has his back on Curry, but the other two might witnessed, that's why the controversial call.

I have to take a review because I don't know if that is the same referee that he taunts that made that call. I still remember though Duncan, he was ejected, by just laughing in the bench. Grin

NBA referees nowadays are too soft to those calls and these unwanted fouls are the one that's so frustrating on behalf of the players. I watched the game and it's indeed GSW vs. WOLVES and the REFS.
Kevin Durant already released a 3 point shot behind the arc and he's in the shooting motion before the referee calls for a foul but the Ref. didn't count the bucket instead calls for a regular foul but luckily Steph Curry made a 3 point shot but then again the Ref. was on the move and they called a soft foul on Durant and KAT made 1 pt. game winning free throw. It was Rigged!

I was thinking a couple of months ago about these calls the referee make during these games and they seem to be out of no where. There are officials which do favor certain players and teams so you never know about these type of calls which can cost the team the game. Especially by one point. Undecided

it's very controversial indeed, calls which can let go and allow the overtime to decide the game, but it's a referees decision as it is, and even players contest that call it can't be change if they've seen a contact, but for viewers like us this two calls will be a questionable one both for durant, a winning
shot and this foul without moving opponents.

Usually though refs are letting go of fouls specially in the last dying seconds because they wanted to avoid controversy. But referee's decision is final though. But just image if this is playoff time. I'm sure that there will be a lot of media backlash. Is this a sign that referee are going to be extra tight in playoffs specially it can spell the difference between a team winning or losing?

EDIT: After watching the replay, it looks like a legit call by the referee, imho.

I don't see anything wrong with the play, I'm sorry to disagree with you guys.
I saw the replay, the first shot made by Durant was a foul before the shot, there's still plenty of time so why would he catch and shoot on that?

The last one which was his foul, he clearly get physical to KAT, and refs saw a little push.

This is not new, that's why some says NBA is rigged.
I believe there's a big money betting on the Warriors in this game or the public money is on the warriors, so they let the Wolves win the game.
For pure fans, we will not appreciate this, but for gamblers and fans at the same time, we already understand this.

Right, I guess players like who went into this kind of gruesome injury should also go to psychologist and help the players to recover their mind and attitude.

We have seen players able to come back from worst injury and play like PG but there are players who can't maybe because of the big mental barriers they can't overcome and they are not the same self after that injury.

The healing technology now is more advance, so he could come back as normal.
When we say out for the remainder of the season, that is huge, and it could be yourself is your biggest enemy when you come back.
This season, we have 2 good players who got serious injury, IIRC, we also have Victor Oladipo, and this one is the latest.

I would agree that the technology is advance now and players are taking advantage of it and can comeback. What I'm saying is that it should be a holistic approach, not just your body but your mind need to be healed as well. And I think NBA teams should also implement this one, if haven't done so and I'm also not sure if they're already into it.

Harizen has pointed out a good example in his previous post, Hayward, he got injured at the start of last season If my memory serves me right, came back this season, but wasn't his old self. Maybe his body healed, but the psychological trauma that might have created in him has not recovered that's why he can't perform better after the injury.

Maybe we can say that to DRose as well. Got injured come back, play subpar but slowly regain his confidence (I'm assuming without any help, specially from Chicago Bulls). Just some minute details that a NBA team should offer to their players to really help them recover not just the physical but the emotional aspects as well.

Pop said that "Without Manu, there would be no championships." Well said by pop and this one is very true.

I just finished watching Manu's jersey retirement ceremony. If you missed it like me last night, NBA has it uploaded to their Youtube channel - here.

He was such a creative/unique player to watch, highly competitive dude with tremendous accomplishments throughout his career. Just to list a few of them: 4x Nba Champ, Euro League Champ and probably most important/memorable one is the Olympic gold in Athens vs. team USA.

Last night's ceremony is/was a well-deserved moment for him, his family and for all of the San Antonio Spurs fans.

Manu was such an intelligent player both offensively and defensively. He and the other European players also had a great influence to the Nba, So I might say, hes really well deserved for the retirement ceremony. We'll never gonna see another team who have as solid as Manu, Parker, and Duncan for a long time.

No worries. We can't just judged a team based on their recent performance.

Once season ends, it will be 0-0 at the start of playffs. From there, a team will be matched on a "same team" for a minimum of 4 consecutive games at the first round.

Again, "against the same team" in 4 or more consecutive games. It does mean that, their performance in season games will surely be changed once playoffs come since they don't have to adjust for every different teams like what they are doing during season games.

Enough for Nurkic discussion.

Let's discuss the Bucks vs the Rockets game, it ended up a win for the home team, bucks beating the Rockets (108-94)
and although Harden had a double double tonight but he did not score 30+ points, and we know what will happen if their main scoring machine is limited with that score only. Harden is consistent scoring 30+ points every game but got limited tonight, the defense of the Bucks are making it possible.

Bucks had a great game on that. I watched them defended the rockets pretty good. And the best part is neutralizing James Harden, the scoring machine of the team. I hope that they can expose rockets by this type of defense. Well, bucks is the eastern team I'm rooting for.

Would you look at that? I am right. Here is a video showing that Bucks exposed rockets by the defense they played. Here is the youtube video by Heat Check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_LO8qFEFMM

Hayward is still not the Hayward back then. I believed he is still dealing with his "mental" part which is usual. And like I posted here recently, Paul George took one season to get back on his shape (or maybe because no Melo curse now on OKC lol) and we already seen him putting up big numbers in most of their games.

This is how Hayward is hurting the Boston Celtics. He's clearly not in his shape until now and it has to do with his mentality. And for Paul George, he's having his best season for me.

I have been with injuries too and I can say that mental problem is real base on experience.
It is hard to run now coz I am still thinking of my knees once I start the jog.
I cannot even sprint without thinking about it. Once I do sprint I run like an idiot with the injury still intact.
That is how mental issues really hurt this players. They are still thinking that it can happen anytime. Those must be erased.

Congrats Manu. You deserved it. NBA fans will not forget you.

Ohhhh. What a lovely quote from Pops and it will be remembered too.
Who would really expect it? He is the 6th man of the team from the start and until the end.
But without him San Antonio wont be remembered also. Hell, even Duncan cannot create history without him, and so does Parker.
How I miss watching Manu play.
Although I am loving the unusual moves of Belinelli, it is still way different with Manu around.

... and how those previous players like PG and HAyward able to
comeback and still healthy enjoying the league, if he will mentally willing to comeback with the help of those new innovated technology he can manage to do so, he's still young and there's still lots of things to happen with his career.

Pointing to Jurkic, the most important thing for now is the recovery. Dealing with his mentality will start once he came back on the live court so better just wait for it.
