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.

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.

Well yeah other pointing to Barnes but take note that he is one of the key factor why Mavericks is in the lead until the less than a minute of the game. Although it's really an almost win, Golden State Warriors really played a game at it's best. A good game overall.

That's how people react, they only see the mistake because they are so focus on their Luka baby..
It's almost a win for the Mavericks but that game proven that they are not yet matured enough to manage plays in crucial time.
Would have been a great win for the Mavericks if they were able to pull out that win and the Luka sensation will continue, this kid really has a big future. I saw in the stats when I'm watching it live, he is in the top 3 of the mavericks player who scored at least 20 points per game, if I remember it right.

Luka is still young for NBA and he isn't strong enough to bring Mavericks over the 3 times champions. As expected that GS would win the game but not bad for Mavericks, that's a game and someone would win.
Cury have a big shoots for this and take the lead until the end. He could find very comfortable in this game and it's no wonder that would possibly happen.

I think after another year of this if Lakers really see no improvements at all and this is what Lakers is without Lebron, they might really start considering trading away the young guys for a better piece for a big push this year, they could have gotten Kawhi for some of the young guys they have and that would have been much much better for a title run instead of trying to keep the young guys for the future.

They have hopes for Lonzo and Ingram since the beginning. They are the "keys" in Lakers future , as they say.

But how much time Lakers will give these two youngsters just to become an "asset" in every game? Yes they are both good, no doubt about that but my concern is inconsistency. Cavaliers is on 12 game losing streak, worst road record this season, worst defense this season and yet Lakers lose.

Lakers are now 3-7 without LeBron James.

In the game between Dallas Mavericks and Golden State Warriors, Im really amazed of what Mavericks did. Take note that Golden State Warriors just got the lead in less than one minute of the game after Mavericks steal the lead in the last 5 minutes (GSW leads the Mavs coming from the half all the way to 5min. mark of 4th quarter). What does this mean? Mavericks is really improving this season both offense and defense and despite of the MVP mode of Curry and good performance by Kevin Durant still they managed to give the defending champ a difficult win.

Well yeah other pointing to Barnes but take note that he is one of the key factor why Mavericks is in the lead until the less than a minute of the game. Although it's really an almost win, Golden State Warriors really played a game at it's best. A good game overall.

Lakers lost AGAIN. This time to CLEVLAND. Jesus Christ how horrible do you have to be to lose to Cavs ?
I mean I understand that they have a lot of injured players but their young core of Lonzo, Hart, Ingram, Kuzma all played this game and they all sucked so so much, they literally scored 95 points to a team who got scored 130+ points on average in their recent 5 games.

Their defense is not horrible and they are fine on that part but they really need to get their shit together on offense, how can you be so bad on offense that a team that gets 130+ points scored on average allows you only 95 points fro a whole game, that is like third quarter numbers not end result.

I think after another year of this if Lakers really see no improvements at all and this is what Lakers is without Lebron, they might really start considering trading away the young guys for a better piece for a big push this year, they could have gotten Kawhi for some of the young guys they have and that would have been much much better for a title run instead of trying to keep the young guys for the future.

What a game.
GSW vs Dallas Mavericks.

Defense is high for both teams and offensive shots are being done with hard plays and always contested.
This is NBA. I hope they all play like this one.
48 points for Steph Curry. Again, he showed the caliber of a MVP and a champion. On the other hand Dallas also showed how strong they are by now. Really love how they play and Doncic at 26/6/5. What a great player. I just hoped I have seen more Doncic time at the end of the game.

That turnover by Harison Barnes! This is the reason why Golden State Warriors Traded him. Lmao. That turnover is not acceptable (KD didn't even defend him well).
If Harison Barnes made it maybe they in the overtime but I didn't spec that this gonna be this so crucial.

He's traded not because he makes a lot of turnovera but because he has a big salary for a bench player. Now that loss of Dallas is acceptable because they show the whole NBA world what caliber they are now. They can compete to the highest level and is a contender for a playoffs berth.

That's right, they needed to open salary to have more caliber players, barnes turnover is crucial but it's not the finals yet and with how they played today only showed that they have the chance of improving more, in the other hand, curry showed how tough he is when it came to competition, what kind of a great player he is, deserve to be an MVP and place his name on the line of top players of the league.

He is not clutch, the ball should be in the hand of Doncic, there's a chance that the game will went into OT,
his step back 3 is very dangerous, but that's the game, accept and move on, where did you put your bet by the way?

A loss of the Mavericks but the game was close, glad I was able to put my bet on Dallas because my bet covers.
There's still plenty of time and I think Dallas will improve, getting into the playoffs this year should be their goal because with Doncic this team plays like a real playoff team.

If Curry played like an MVP caliber, I'm sure you guys are also impressed with how Doncic play, let's award that ROY trophy already.

Neither hart nor KCP is remotely as good as Klay, klay not only has an insane catch and shoot level (the most three pointers made in a season who is not named curry) but also an elite defender who can lockdown any opposite player.

Klay is in different level because he has proven to be a clutch player especially in big games, he is one of the big reason on the success of the Warriors, his outside shooting is really good especially he gets hot.

Quote from: raven7886 on January 13, 2019, 11:31:13 AM

If lakers could get Klay on their team, it is basically game over. Warriors would be losing Klay in their team and Draymond is getting worse while Cousins will surely not be in the team next year so they will be only left with Curry and Durant whereas Lakers will have Klay and Lebron on their team with a much better roster.

That would good for the NBA organization, their will be a balance of good player and the warriors may loss their starter but they are still the team to bet. Klay and Lebron, that's good, there will be some major adjustment but will certainly lead to a good improvement.

Quote from: raven7886 on January 13, 2019, 11:31:13 AM

I don't doubt Lakers could beat everyone with Klay on their team not because they will be that much better but because they would also bleed warriors at the same time improving theirs. Of course there are players like JJ Reddick or Buddy Hield who are both amazing three point shooters but since Klay will be still in warriors in that scenario Lakers wouldn't be even close to them.

Just like when we predicted prior to this starts that Lebron will make the Lakers great, but it was not an easy journey, at the start they struggle and currently they are still a mediocre team in the NBA, they haven't proven yet. So, if Klay will land in Lakers, it's still not certain that our expectation will happen.

This season, we have seen how the Lakers struggle without Lebron so they never change, it's like a Cleveland Cavaliers team, Lebron is really a big factor in the team, if it is compared to a pie, he has the biggest portion, maybe like 90%.

We'll see in their division who will go to the finals. I bet Lakers will change their going to the playoffs. That's where we could see the changes when LeBron will play his a-game.

Looks like the OKC will take their revenge today, they are already leading in double digit and it's already 11 minutes in the 4th quarter.
Westbrook did not score much but the bench of the OKC give some really big help to win.

Congratulations to the OKC!
