You know Golden State will win it when they made that 51 first quarter points.
They are all in good condition. Klay Thomson got the hot hands adding up 4 dunks in a game. Curry making those impossible shots and Durant contribution.
Yes, and the announcer was like "How many dunks does Klay usually does in a game, he has 3 already" and then Klay just dunks again, crazy.

It will not be easy to tie the game if they are in that condition.
Congratulations to them for making the 5 consecutive winning streak.
Of course the complexion of the game will be different, but then again they blew off the Nuggets right from the start and never game them the chance to even get closer that 10 or 15 points if I'm not mistaken.

Warriors started to be streaking again and they will be in the stage that they are unbeatable again.
For them, game is so easy, they are just playing without pressure because they trust each other, I hope Durant and Draymond Green are okay now.
But I still want Durant to leave.

Durant is okay for me as a backup offensive player whenever the originals are injured. Problem is, it happened mostly.
Curry, Green and Iguodala having those mild injuries which seems to also reflect on their ranking.

Now they need most of the win they can get before hell happens again and Curry will be out which is like the heart of GSW. It aint GSW without him. They are a whack team.

As a long time Mavs fan, Im happy that they able to get a good spot on draft pick last season acquiring Smith Jr. and consider as one of the face of the franchise in the future. And the following draft pick, the arrival of Luka Doncic which strengthen Dallas firepower.

But while on progress, I have noticed that Smith Jr. and Doncic didn't have a good blend. It's not about the chemistry I guess since the numbers of games they played this seasoin is enough to test the waters but I think "something is going on".

And the result is, Dennis Smith Jr. is currently on trade plan list by the Mavs.

Anyways for those who didn't know, the NBA trade deadline is on February 7 so we can expect major and minor changes on a certain team or even a surprising blockbuster trade prior to that date.
Doncic is the main man for the Mavericks now and I did not seen the excitement in the past during the time of Dennis Smith Jr. and I'm not really interested with this player and Mavs was a shit team before Doncic's arrival. What I like about what's happening now is because Doncic is an underrated player but he prove himself that he can compete in the NBA even if he is just a rookie.

Some says, that European players are slow and I like the fact that Doncic prove them wrong.

Regarding the trade, I would agree with the Mavs to trade Dennis Smith Jr. , and welcome someone make the chemistry better.

Warriors and Nugget game was extraordinary. If you decide to watch only one game this month, make sure it is this one. Warriors played so well they were like a well oiled machine and they destroyed nuggets like hell. I mean considering they will add another superstar center on top of this game sounds insane. They will have Demarcus cousins at this line up. I mean as it is they are incredible and adding someone at that caliber sounds like unfair already.

I know we all talk about how warriors are destroying the league and winning every year but at one point I was hoping for them to eventually lose but clearly its not going to be this year, actually it will never happen until they break up themselves, I don't know when and how it will happen but with this roster there is no one even remotely close to their talent.

That 10 three's in the first quarter was lit. Just goes to show how overpowered this team is when curry, klay and kd caught fire all at the same time. What's even more scary is the fact that boogie is set to return so these guys would likely have more room to roast other teams from beyond the arc.

The easiest game for Today was the Warriors vs Nuggets, betting on the Warriors to win makes you feel relax while watching them.
Warriors are gonna win this game as they have a very large lead right now, Curry and Durant both have a good shooting night and Curry is very amazing as once again the 3 point shooting of his remains hot.

Who among you here bet on the Warriors to win? The line was Warriors -2, so it should easily win at this point.

Damn. Warrior's first quarter points in 51? That's insane. They also made 10 three point shot in that first quarter, setting a franchise record. And the win put them back at the driver sit and top of the Western Conference once again. That make's GSW a really difficult opponent for everyone. They're really unstoppable if all the shots are falling into places. Cousins hasn't played yet, so let's see if he perfectly fits on the team as it is reported that he is going to play on Friday.
They showed how good they are, most likely they will achieve more success and will break another record, the big 3 of the Warriors (Durant, Curry, and Thompson) are all good 3 point shooting, so if their opponent will not close them out, they will just keep shooting especially when at rhythm.

And also looks like that the Warriors is slowly peaking at this time, before the All-Star break and the put the pedal before the end of the regular season and take the number position in the West and show their detractors that they are still the team to beat.

Yes the big 3 poses a lot of problem specially if all of them will click in a game, just like we witnessed today. Thompson and Curry has 31 points each and KD added 27.

Wow! Harden did it again, 57 points against the Memphis Grizzlies, I think I find my new MVP at him, probably a back to back for him if he continue to play this way. This is a complete example of carrying his team by himself to win, he is responsible for the 50% of the total scores his team made tonight and almost perfect at free throw line with 17-18,  that area is really where he is good at.
Let the season end and let the stats decide if he's going to be the MVP for this season. No doubt that Harden is such a very versatile and great player, every game he plays his performance is always the best.

The complete example of carrying a team that I've seen before was with Lebron James, I still have faith with LJ but I'm also starting to like the games and performance showed by Harden.

Harden is good right now but has not proven yet to be a great player, Lebron IMO is better than Harden, because if he like to just boost himself, Lebron can do it and he will be a better candidate compared to harden as he is not good in offense but also good in rebounding and defense, that's what harden's lack to be in line with great players like Kobe Bryant, and Michael Jordan which are the most popular in basketball history.
And that's how MVP should be, not only an offensive competitors but more with defensive stuff, harden already proven his greatness in terms of being an scoring machine but yet lacking in defense, and just like what you have said, he needs to improve on that part to be consider and line with what MJ and Kobe already proved and still being hold by lebron in terms of flexibility. just my own sense..

They are too different players but IMO they shouldn't be compared to each other. They have their own greatness and performances, I admire both players and there's no need for me to argument on who's greater or the best.

Lebron is unique in a way of being a flexible player which other players doesn't have and like what you said. Michael Jordan is a legend and if its about the best plays of all, hands off to the man.
We cannot avoid but to compare because as a fan we want to see who is the best and between the two, we have our own pick
based on what we see on their performance in a game. It's just lately that Harden is playing very good but Lebron were able to maintain his stats until now.

For sure James Harden is one of the strong contender for this season's MVP race. The team rely most of the scoring to this man and that is my worry come playoff time. He must be healthy always for their team to advance deep in the playoffs and he should also involve more of his team mates in scoring because come playoffs opposing team's defense against him would be much tougher.
Memphis Grizzlies didn't expect that Harden will be doing all of the hard work for his team that's why they didn't get prepared for what they would do to him. Even though they double team up Harden it means they give another opening for the other players, it is not just Harden will do the scoring if they double teamed up him. It is just their plan doesn't go as they have planned.

We cannot just see an MVP basing on points only. It is the overall stats.
Yeah he did great creating those high points but there are players who have been doing almost a triple double every game and they are consistent with it.

If average will be calculated I will still go for Gianis. He is like a machine who does it all to push his team to the top 8.
I still dont like how Mike DAntoni is doing his offense now. It cannot be always Harden on the frontlines. He needs to use every single player of his team.
Well it really depends on the Panel (which are Sport Writers and Commentators who really don't know the game) who will be voting in the NBA awards again, and based on my observation all the panelist see are just numbers and who is popular in the league also they all have their personal biases on voting but I know they always go for one of the most popular players who has good stats behind their name, just take a look at the last two winners of the MVP award you will see that they always go for the best stated player, they really don't care about win shares or TO what's important is his team reach the playoffs.
