I didn't expect the Heat will dominate the Boston, game is not yet over but with 4 minutes left and and the Heat having a comfortable lead, I think it's hard for the Boston Celtics to come back and win. Wade is vintage, he still has that scoring capability, he already had 19 points now at 19 minutes of playing.
Great display for this team, No Dragic but it seems like it's not a problem for them.

Betting on the Heat is easy, looks like the money is on the Celtics in this game.
The Heat are good in their home that is why they dominated the Celtics that easily. Vintage Wade as always Smiley. They have no all star caliber players but they are playing great right now because of their teamwork and the experience of Wade help other players too. I think having Dragic in their lineup will give them a spot into the playoffs.

Anyone watched San Antonio Spurs against Oklahoma Thunder? What a classic game! LaMarcus Aldridge dropped a career high with 56 Points, 9 Rebounds $ 4 Blocks on OKC, that's insane. While Russel Westbrick got his 4th career game with 24 Points, 13 Rebounds & 24 Assists. Insane numbers right?
24 Assists, that's not normal, any player with a star quality can make 50 points or more but that number of assist is just insane.
Unfortunately, OKC loss in the game despite of WB's effort, and LaMarcus Aldridge is really improving a lot, he is the reason why the Spurs are having a big success lately. Maybe we should include him as one of the MVP candidates, big man with a great shooting skills and now the heart of the Spurs.
If he will continue playing constantly then why not, but if he will play good one night then the next day will be lacking of dedication, maybe he will be far from those constant stars, the game really intense the fans and that exchange rally from both teams really make the game worth to watch, 24 asst from WB might be the beginning of new style from this MVP expect more to come from OKC.

Is still someone here who can't get over with Giannis quick pass that was blocked by Harden's face? Actually it's still playing on my mind and keep on pressing the replay button. I can't remember on how many times I replayed the button. I'm not making fun of that scene but it got me thinking if it was intentional or Harden's just in a bad position. I'm a fan of Giannis and he's one of the best rookie that I admire but that very small play is trending right now.

Miami Heat won Celtics 115-99. Wade scored 19 points in the win. They were hot in the three point department hitting 18 three's. Maybe this is one night wherein we see the old DWade, they also had 33 assists.
Good for Wade, I think he is on his way to retirement but still shows some skills of an MVP.
Lebron is better than Wade in statistics but Wade is clutch, so I like Wade and he could be one of the Hall of Famer in the NBA.
Big win for them, they showed they will bring good competition in the east as they beat Celtics which is one of the best team in the NBA now.

.Even myself didnt expect for Rockets to lose up or maybe im just confident too much with Harden? lol

With the @2 odds for the Rockets ML, it attracts some bettors to bet on this team. With a 8 wins from the last 10 games and James Harden's continous monster performance with an average of over 35+* points, people considered this as reference.

However, almost the same winning stats is posted by the Milwaukee Bucks in the last 10 games but we all know that media and sports analyst makes the most hype to the Rockets. Also the fact that the game were held at Toyota Center increasing chances that Rockets might take the win.

Story short and moving on... Milwaukee Bucks won and Giannis set a record high of 21 rebounds making him a much strong contender in MVP race.



Remember this is Lebron James' team now and as far as I know no one is untouchable in his team except him. With a loaded free agency season he will be looking for star veterans and not young players with potential.

That is the common statement of those against at LeBron. Speculations after all since the beginning.

Don't buy that mate. We have no insiders here right directly at Lakers room. Smiley

Finally we see Lakers that could be great in the future. Kuzma played like a superstar and even tough its still inconsistent and he averages a lot less than what he could be he is still quite young and was drafted low for someone who can score 41 points in Lakers uniform.

You would expect a superstar doing that and that is what he is moving towards. Carmelo Anthony is a guy who used to score a lot of points but wasn't really a good defense guy and that is why he was cut this year, Lonzo is exactly the opposite, dude steals, defends, rebounds and does everything amazingly but has no scoring mechanism at all, he misses freaking layups that a 55+ year old with a beer belly can score.

Josh Hart plays his "hart" out Cheesy and he has the hard working skills to make him a viable SG one day hopefully and Ingram has been in the league for years now and still haven't shown the progress he should but in couple more years we will know for sure if he is good enough to stay or gone. I love this youth core and feel amazingly happy when they win.
Let us not hope too much that everyone in the current Lakers' roster will be the same for next season. Remember this is Lebron James' team now and as far as I know no one is untouchable in his team except him. With a loaded free agency season he will be looking for star veterans and not young players with potential. He is a aging star and he has not time left to see this young players develop into a team he wants to be 3-4 years down the road. If Kuzma, Ingram, and Ball could all stay I'll be happy for the team but just not expect a championship from them next season.

Lucky bet for Blackmamba, he won again and the Hawks almost steal this game.
Warriors having a hard time with the Hawks but they won in the end, on the other hand, hawks loss but they easily cover the spread with is over 14.5
Blackmamba is on a winning streak right now, hard not to tail him as he just gave me the first win by tailing his bet.

I won but I still regret because I was planning to make a bet in a winning margin for Raptors which is Raptors winning margin 1-5 If I win it's x10 or 15 something. Too much regret here that I didn't go to with  that feelin. Anyways, my NBA Betting Journey is now 3-0. And for tomorrows game I made a bet in Houston Rocket with a moneyline 2.01 against Milwaukee Bucks  1.88 odds.  I chose Houston Rockets because it's a homecourt advantage for them. Any thoughts about this match?  
Oh well, you've got your first loss here mate, even harden played like a monster again but he didn't lift the rockets against the best team from the east, this is really exciting to watch out, how giannis will lead his team to the playoffs looking forward for them for new competition in the other side of the league.
The ball is round and these things do really happen. I've been tailing mambas bets and this gives really a loss on his streak.Even myself didnt expect for Rockets to lose up or maybe im just confident too much with Harden? lol

Denver Nuggets  VS LA Clippers   TIP Millsap 11.5+   odd 1.77 BetCity

Since he came back from injury Millsap played six matches and on three occasions went over 11,5pts. Mostly he started on the bench but it wasn't the case in the last game where he played thirty minutes and scored 12pts. I hope his minutes won't be reduced tonight and personally expect him for thirty minutes in play.  Garry Harris is questionable for tonight so it means more minutes for others. 12 pts sounds reasonable for Millsap tonight. good luck

The DRose dilemma now.
Yes that might happen. He is at risk now but theh still need to finish his contract or else they will be breaching it.

For that amount of time everything could change and I do think DRose knows about it already.
If he does he might be going through now with hardcore practices to get back what skill that he had loss.
That way, if Twolves does not really want him then he could still get a better offer on other teams.
I bet his 50 point game made some scouts to consider taking him again.

Twolves, can easily waived Drose, knowingly that they only invested on him for a year and I doubt if they'll renew it again. On the better side, "let's take his 50 point game" as a credit, and it might be a good thing to consider. But, The only thing I see on how Drose can boost himself out on the market is if he could complete this season without having major injury that could limit his playing time. As I see right now, his doing well though there are some missed games due to minor injuries but I think this won't make an huge effect.


Well drose is a tragic story with so much talent hampered by injury. Take away the games he didn't play thus season and you get an above average statistics, from a guy many have given up on. If the wolves waive him, it'll be another teams' merit.

Noel got injured really badly, I really hope its nothing serious. He dropped badly and his neck seemed like it moved way more than it should. I think it is great that his arms and legs moved afterwards which means his brain is still sending signals to his body which means he will not be paralyzed most probably but it was really bad and I hope it is not a brain injury.

It also shows how a player can ruin his career so badly, he was drafted by Sixers and demanded money, he didn't get the minutes and money he wants from there so he moved to Dallas where he rejected the amount that was offered and sit on the bench, now he is on OKC and trying to make a comeback (at least he is young) but he got this injury now. You can think you worth a lot more but if you say no to money offered to you there is always a risk of not getting even that amount with one bad fall.

He didnt have the right body to go against a bigger one. There is no balance in mid air and you could just rely on a good hit so that you will land better.

He landed bad and his head bounced to the floor like his neck have no bones.
Darn. I hate to see those kind of injuries. This is one problem also with high flyers. They tend to focus only on going up but never thought of their way down.
Ouch for Oklahoma. A good player indeed and getting more minutes.

Inplay betting gone right , at one point of time I wanted to bet on Houstons ( after 3rd quarter actually ) but didn't and it worked out well . I wish I bet higher ( things gamblers say)

That was an easy pick, congrats mate, though the Rockets loss the game, you were still able to make money betting on them.
I got the opposite, I do bet on the Bucks live with "Milwaukee Bucks @ 2.05", and I enjoyed a little win, there's really money in live betting especially if you are watching it.

Noel got injured really badly, I really hope its nothing serious.
For a second, I thought it was Joel Embiid, it's the first name that came in my mind and thanks I just misread it because I don't know if the Sixers still has a chance to enter into playoffs without him. Here's some of the link http://www.nba.com/article/2019/01/08/nerlens-noel-stretchered-vs-timberwolves, for those who haven't watch the game like me.

Injuries cannot be avoided in NBA due to the physicality of the game but I hope for a speedy recovery of Nerlens Noel.




Was able to watch the game on TV and it was really a scary fall because his head literally bounce off. Good to hear that he is ok with no serous injuries whatsoever.

Yes, the game was evolved so much that sometimes injury can't really avoided. It was a good win though for the Wolves with their interim coach, youngest coach ever but I think it will be a good move if they hire someone with experience, imho.
