How in the hell does dwanyne wade hit two three pointers to beat golden state warriors?
He fumbled the ball and just threw it up and hit the buzzer beating three pointer when gsw looked as if they had this game with their close finish. Huh
Vintage wade, he can do stuff like that easily.
He still got something big to offer for his team and we will really miss this guy as he will be retiring this season.

Warriors were the heavy favorites but haven't you notice that they struggle lately?
No doubt they can win but not convincingly, heat just rewarded their backers big time with this win.
For risk takers who loves to bet against the favorite this game is a big hit for them, Wade just simply amazing he wanted for fans to remember what he've
contributed for this franchise, glad he able to returned before his final season from this league.

Not sure if what is happening with the warriors but consider this lost as an ordinary game to move on, anyway, they still have the west  number one spot.

WTF, he was blocked but managed to throw the shot again and made it. And per interview, he said that Kobe was his inspiration when he pulled a similar three on them. And I think he is talking about this one:

Next stop for Miami is the Rockets, so another tough battle ahead of them.
I thought there was an error with the video because I saw Kobe instead of Wade.
Now, I'm getting interested in this, was not able to see them playing but let me check the highlights of this game, Wade made a buzzer beater, needs to see this.

Is dirk nowitzki's going to retire?
It's not official yet since he has not announce it yet, you can read this article entitled Is Dirk Nowitzki going to retire? The NBA is acting like he is and gain more information. He is on his farewell tour like Dwayne Wade but I think this would be the last season of wade as he is set for retirement.

Dirk had already contributed a lot of entertainment in the NBA, he gave one championship to the Mavericks so he is a fulfilled player which has nothing to prove anymore.
Yeah that's what i think, and the NBA communtity was acting like he's going to retire that's why it comes to my mind but since he's one of the oldest NBA player now it's ok for him to retire besides he even got a championship. Win Win.

This will be the first year Lebron misses the playoffs ever and I don't know how to feel about that, I mean we have talked about the GOAT debate so much that we forgot what MJ was capable of doing at those ages and now Lebron is missing the playoffs. If this actually comes true I am certain nobody will ever see Lebron as the GOAT ever again, his name will stay as a superstar and a generational talent but it won't be in the GOAT discussion ever again.


The thing with his 8 consecutive finals appearance is that he only won 3. Will Jordan went 6 out of 6. So I don't know if we should debate on who is the GOAT.  Grin. And I think that Lebron also know that when he moves to the Lakers, he knows the possibility that it can ended, but he is willing to take that risk, imho.

.................so the rest of the games they would need to go 12-2 just to be in the playoffs which we all know is impossible.

I bet they cannot do this, yet it's impossible as the way they are playing now is they still lack of chemistry.
That hype is not real, Lebron not making into playoffs this season is real, I'm sure he will be criticize and the Lebron haters will celebrate.

Im impressed on how Denver Nuggets works this season. Currently sitting at the 2nd spot in the West and looks like they can maintain it until the end of the season.
LOL I thought I'm the only person that noticed that. At the very start of the season, they have been treated as not so good team. But they are showing that they are improved now and they shouldn't be treated easy by most of the big teams.

They even surpassed those favored teams, they are doing well for this season. What they need to do is to maintain their place and if they can't come up beating Warriors at the top spot, they have a chance to make it to the finals.
They are underrated this season, people did not noticed them as they want the Lakers in the playoffs.
Not only that they will secure the playoff spot this season but I guess they also have a shot to beat any team in the west.

I'm also rooting for the Nuggets to win, good betting odds for this team to win.
True. People are looking to Los Angeles Lakers from the very start of the season and now that their chances of getting in to the playoffs is too low, we are starting to notice on how great Denver Nuggets is on this season.

Looking to a new team to get in to the playoffs, to semi's and even to the finals is a very interesting part of the season. We're used to see rivals from each year but now it's different, wishing Denver Nuggets the best for this upcoming playoffs.

I have read on reddit that Lakers will be facing a bit of mathematical challenge from now on, it looks like they need to win at least 16 games from now on to be in the playoffs and their last 8 games are against teams like OKC and Warriors and such so they will need to at best go 4-4 in that schedule so the rest of the games they would need to go 12-2 just to be in the playoffs which we all know is impossible.

This will be the first year Lebron misses the playoffs ever and I don't know how to feel about that, I mean we have talked about the GOAT debate so much that we forgot what MJ was capable of doing at those ages and now Lebron is missing the playoffs. If this actually comes true I am certain nobody will ever see Lebron as the GOAT ever again, his name will stay as a superstar and a generational talent but it won't be in the GOAT discussion ever again.

With those numbers it would really an impossible thing they would able to pass through.Imagine going for 12-2 is really hard to believe but who knows? If he would able to carry that thing.
If he would missed the playoffs on this team then there would be surely lots of criticism to the team of LA.  Grin

Is dirk nowitzki's going to retire?

Think is too early for us to get the actual news of Nowitzki's retirement. If this will come we the fans will miss the fun. Fingers across to await the news.

I don't think there has been any announcements yet lol. Though i came across a video of doc rivers calling a timeout to call out dirk. Such class. The guy could hardly contain his tears. Though i think it's a little premature but a class act nonetheless.

Why is new york all the sudden winning their games when they were doing so miserably at home.
Werent they going for the number one draft pick along with phoenix or they just want to prove to everybody they are still a team to cheer for this late into the season.
Watching their game last night in the fourth quarter all their shots were landing which was a very strange thing to see coming from this team. Maybe the trades they did before the deadline boosted their confidence level a bit.

Last season, I remember they are fighing to death in the last playoffs spot and had a sudden match against the Minnesota Timberwolves on their final season game which they are loss. But this time no worries now about being kicked out from the playoffs. I was expecting Nuggets to be a playoff contender this season but not to the point that I will think they can sealed the 2nd spot.

Their last playoffs appearance were way back Season 2012-2013. Their last playoffs 2nd and conference finals appearance were way back 2008-09. That was really a drought and all these absence will now be erase this season. Great performance by the current core players of the team.

Yes. Jokic seems to have made a lot of difference too. He seems to have improved a lot.
Their chemistry is stonger.
Add up the will to win by their pointguard Murray who plays like he is always excited for the game.

I remember him always for his clutch shots. I think those also made them think tey can really win games.
With improvements, here they are now.
There is not much change in their roster and yet the change in statistics grew so much.

As we speak they just did, surpassing the OKC and add another win to their stats, though the league still games to play before the playoffs
maintaining the second spot can give them a good chance to make it in the semis, same thing with other comments the team is not getting
much attentions as they don't have the name/s of well known star/s.

From what they are showing right now, who knows they can also build the same concept like what warriors did before.
I have watched the game and the OKC thunder rally, but the Nuggets has matured as a team and they are already good now in closing games.
They will certainly become one of the team to beat in the West and they have an home court advantage as they might end up as the no. 1 or 2 in the west.

People are cheering on Joker as their MVP, an announcer said that he is underrated because people don't like big guys to be an MVP. lol

Underrated team, they are getting less attention maybe because superstar in other team like Lakers are more famous. Hope they will play better in playoffs as we all know, plays in playoff is kinda different. Look at Rockets they are good at regular season but outplayed in playoffs.
They are currently tested now against the OKC thunder, game is very close but I think they'll win this one at home.
We will see if how good they are if they will keep beating good teams, like teams in the playoff spot already.
Being underrated team will make them even more inspired to prove that public that they are also here.
