Boston Celtics, we witnessed how great they are during their playoffs run even without Kyrie Irving on their lineup. Almost outplayed the Philadelphia 76ers and sruvived the sudden death against the Milwaukee Bucks. Now with Kyrie, let's see if that's really an advantage to them.

Big question here. Are they going to have a better game with Kyrie around or will it just worsen them. Brad Stevens might want to change his rotations here if they are losing some games in the first round.

Terry Rozier is one of the key players why Celtics ended up good in their last year's playoffs run. The absence of Kyrie gives him more playing time during the season. He blends well with other young cores like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Now with Kyrie, we all don't know if the same setup will be given by him by his coach Brad Stevens.

It's pretty strange to bring Bogut back to the Warriors line-up. But maybe that's what they really need as this point and maybe Cousins case is something that we need to look at specially that he is also playing very well.

Maybe Golden State is looking for a backup, the East has strong Center and perhaps they want to offset them by getting Bogut again, specially when then face a team like Philly, although Joel is injured, there are reports that he maybe back in the line up next week.

Bogut doesn't used much during his tenure in Golden State Warriors because of his injury and weight problems. Don't know what's the purpose why Warriors acquired him recently but it's a good backup for Cousins although having a Centers today doesn't have any impact now in the current league situation.

YEESSSS! I told you guys, Lecry will cry because he will be elimated! Hahaha I put on this topic before that Lakers will not be going to the playoffs. They are better last year without Lecry! lol

That's too bad for the team.

They didn't made it to the playoffs so their option is to become better next season.

But here is one good thing that could happen. They might be facing their ex-coach in the playoffs battle.

I wouldn't necessarily call this a good thing if I were a Raptors fan. Tongue

Pistons would be the one team I wouldn't want to meet in the first round. Playing against your ex-coach means he knows his former players' strengths and weaknesses in detail and will be extra motivated to prove himself over them and the GM who fired him. As an example, these two teams played against one another a couple of days ago in a highly competitive game that went to overtime. I'm sure Raptors fans would rather face Heat or Hornets.

I wonder what would have happened if Lebron stayed at Cavs? Now don't get me wrong I still think east is weaker than west but east top 4 even top 5 spot has been playing like mad and we have seen Lebron not making the Lakers any better, this Lakers team without Lebron is by far better than cavs team without Lebron so if we put Lebron on Cavs instead of Lakers this year, would they make the playoffs?

Yeah, I think they probably would but could they go to finals again? I am not so sure, even on east Lebrons power is not enough to beat all the great teams east have this season no matter how much he tries. Look at what he is doing at Lakers now, he is trying his best on offense (he is humiliating on defense) and still can't bring his team to a win when they really need it.

Toronto Raptors is known for choking in the playoffs or some people say, that's because of LeBron. Now with Kawhi Leonard on their lineup, Im expecting a different Raptors on the upcoming playoffs.

So they have Kawhi now. Will that change the choking playoffs of this Raptors team.
They dont have DeRozan who is one of the real chokers. Lowry though have been great in his past playoffs games.
Also a new coach.
But here is one good thing that could happen. They might be facing their ex-coach in the playoffs battle.
Let us see when the standings changes.

Boston Celtics, we witnessed how great they are during their playoffs run even without Kyrie Irving on their lineup. Almost outplayed the Philadelphia 76ers and sruvived the sudden death against the Milwaukee Bucks. Now with Kyrie, let's see if that's really an advantage to them.

Milwaukee Bucks, their improvement is greatly seen this season. And honestly, this team is underrated prior to season opening. They suffered a sudden death match loss against the Boston Celtics last playoffs and Im sure they will not allow to happened it again this time.

Bucks might be facing Miami so it could be a sweep. If that happen their second round could be the real battle. Pistons or Raptors. Although Pistons is almost below the standings, they have been better and they should not be underestimated.
Just a prediction though, the matches could change a little bit.

Jordan would have an even higher scoring average if he didn't return to the Wizards and lower his PPG.

If I was starting a team from scratch and I could choose prime Lebron or Jordan I would pick Lebron. I think he is just a better all around player and is much more athletic. He is super versatile and can play point guard or power forward

Lebron is going for the all time scoring record to pass Michael Jordan as he faces denver tonight.
note and he passes him

He is going for it, 1st half is over and he already got 17 points.
I believe can beat Jordan in scoring but in terms of legacy, he can't, his team now is down again, they have 17 points deficit entering the 2nd half.

Absolutely mate,the legacy that Michael Jordan brings to the league all those years will always be remembered and accounted onto his name that Lebron James will never achieve,specially in attitude being a player for his team and the whole conference.JORDAN fever cannot be get over by any players now and the future maybe.only the scoring part will be passed by Lebron but not a person being player

MJ played only 14 years in the NBA with 32,292 points.
Lebroke played for 15 years to surpass?!

Look at the comparison. If only MJ did play more years with an average of 30.1 points per game!

GOAT is always been Michael! No one else!

Jordan will always be remembered as the G.O.A.T despite arguments in-comparison with him and Lebron. Although the stats do not lie, the legacy that Jordan left will always linger from rising stars that aim to be just like him (or even better).

Golden State Warriors apparently just giving the teams in NBA a look at what could possibly be their dreams for a little while but I have noooo doubt that they will gear up in playoffs and destroy anyone on their path, these regular season games are a bit boring for them considering they already made the playoffs with ease and they do not have to work too hard, they will have to work hard on playoffs anyway so they are basically actively resting.

I feel like the re-acquisition of Bogut to their team may be due to Cousin's toxicity and attitude to the team. We cannot deny that he plays good but sometimes I see that the chemistry is off. The Warriors said in a statement that despite the strong start that Cousins played, the chemistry is not working yet. Hopefully in the future they resolve problem as they can be unstoppable at this point.

He already surpasses Jordan because he has 31 points in the game. However, they still lost so there's nothing to celebrate at Lakers Land. They come closed and erases the 20+ point lead by the Nuggets but again fall on the 4th quarter. I thought the win will put the Nuggets in the number one spot and because GSW losses the other night. Unfortunately, GSW still holds a one game lead against the Nuggets. I don't know, but Kobe is number 3 in career all time scoring list so I don't know for sure if James can still surpasses him in the next 1-2 seasons (assuming James can still play).

Some crazy game in Chicago with the bulls beating phila 76ers 108 -107. Some are asking why chicago dont they want zion? Cheesy

People left the game including the players but now the refs are calling everybody back because of a tip ball by Lopez on the bulls to put 0.5 secs left on the clock. Roll Eyes
