Now that Thibs is gone chances are D Rose will leave Minnesota next season but I hope his here to stay and he have developed some kind of relationship with the other players. The owner, Glen Taylor, had made it clear that he is not satisfied with his decision making both on and outside of the court. He even fired him the most harshest way possible right after winning big against the LA Lakers and even replacing him with a inexperienced coach, Ryan Saunders, as the interim coach for the rest of the season. It seems like all playoffs hopes are gone by now and tanking for Zion is the next option  Tongue
That's a big move by the Wolves management, though they have been winning lately but we have no idea what's happening inside.
Compared to Thibs record when he was in Chicago, I think he did better when Bulls was still one of the teams to beat in the East, maybe their expectations was not meet that's why they fired Thibs and try their luck with a new coach, like you said an inexperienced coach, let's such see what will happen.
New coach new combinations and new blending, the chemistry between players and how the new coach will adjust and let the team play together, we will see the results of firing a coach and how the replacement will work to continue being one of those competitive teams inside the league, DRose and Wiggins with KAT, Gibson and Saric with their new coach, how far this team will achieved this season.

I don't think that Saunder will be their coach long term. Maybe just an interim for now and I think they would hire someone to be the "head coach". Usually firing of coach brings fresh air to the team to let's see how it goes for the Wolves. Although this year was really tough, they are still in the position to get a playoff spot.

@LogitechMouse - Yeah, I think at this point Harden is unguardable, even though you know his moves, its really hard to keep pace with him because of his quick first move.
Tomorrow seems to be their first game with the new coach, let's see how things would turn.
They will be on the road and will play the OKC which is coming from a big loss against the Wizards, so I guess the Twolves will struggle in this game.

Coming up! Denver Nuggets at Houston Rockets home. I want to bet on the silent and understated Nuggets but it looks like the whole team in the NBA right now aren't really doing well playing on the road except maybe on the Raptors. So i'll be betting on Houston. Denver got a 4 or 5 win streak if I remember correctly including two wins at the road. What's your say?
The Nuggets are on a 5 game winning streak and the Rockets  just ended their 6 game winning streak against the Blazers. The Rockets are good on their home but the Nuggets are good too on the road. Its very hard to bet now on this game because both are performing good right now but I think betters will bet on the Rockets because of the Home Court advantage. I think this will be a close game but the Rockets will win.

Streak are broken, just like how the pacers lose their 6 game winning streak to the raptors this morning. Maybe the rockets will pull this one too in a close game.
Yeah the streak of the Nuggets are broken now that they lose against the Rockets 125-113. As always, Harden got a double double and that ankle breaker against Murray:D plus a foul for a 4 point play. I'm thinking right now that what some analysts are saying is true that Harden is truly unguardable at this moment.

My opinion in the Timberwolves firing their Coach is that I think after the All star, some of their players will be traded to other teams. Many players are affected with what happened especially DRose.

I didn't make a bet for today's matches so that I will decide to make a bet for tomorrow's game which I choose to bet into Atlanta Hawks with Spread +14.5 (1.97) against Toronto Raptors with -14.5 (1.92). My NBA betting journey standing is (2W-0L) hoping for 3-0 for this bet. lol 
Good luck on that bet, Raptors have been playing superb basketball despite some injuries in the squad.
This game is played at the Raptors home and I believe they can win this game but -14.5 seems very high for them to cover, I think I like your bet.
It's a game that the public are expecting it will be an easy win by the Raptors, so how about bet against the public and put some bet on moneyline too?

2019 pre season is such an amazing season for nba. Rockets deserve the win after that brutal out of bounds miss on KD.  40 points, 15 assists, 10 rebounds, 57 flops, 5,928 ft. traveled but it makes me pissed off, Rockets getting hosed by the referee, How did they not see Durant step out of bounds on that save in the recent game? lmao

Some hardcore gaming again from the Raptors. Lowry is back and the team got more lively.
Green with his high percentage at the 3 point line and how about their bench scoring. Norman Powell and Delon Wright 5-5 at three point line when combined.

The team is developing more with their great plays. All are being given a chance when their stars are out. Last time was Siakam and now this guys.

Siakam could get the MIP but there is KCP also that have been giving a lot of improvement for the Lakers to survive while Lebron is out.

Lakers once again got beaten to death by wolves. It is really scary that they look like a g-league team without Lebron. With Lebron all of a sudden all of them starts to play better but without him they go back to previous years and start to play so badly that I am sure Lakers without Lebron could play in gleague and have hard time winning championship there, they are the favorites of course but still wouldn't be a breeze through that league.

It is sad to see that since I am a big Lakers fan but the smallest hope I have left for this team is that they will play together for the next 4 years with Lebron and get better, considering they are just 20-22 year old type of players by 4 year contract ends they will be 24-26 or so and by than they will be much better, if not than Lakers is really screwed.

James Harden is the best player of the world!!!
Hahaha many James Harden fans celebrated the game yesterday and it was an amazing game for him and very intense. He became MVP and we have our different basis on what it makes to be the 'best' in the world of basketball. Many disagree to your post as he's not the best for them. That winning shot made a turn around for the whole home court of Golden State Warriors, I've read someone said its the karma that the ref's didn't called out the out of bounce pass.
No doubt that Harden did really give an amazing game.No questions on his moves and performance but concluding that best player then I highly oppose to that one but well as said we should respect anyones
opinion because we do have our own favorites.
Let's move on discussing about his statement. We have our own "favorite" players and we do acknowledge their greatness up to the point that when they do something extraordinary or when they were the one to win that game, we are assuming that player is the best. It's an opinion and there's nothing wrong on what someone thinks about that player. I respect him for having that belief with James Harden so let's proceed to other games for this month.

So we won for betting on Utah Jazz against Detroit https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.49058996. Our standing is 1-0 (W-L). For tomorrows game at this time I will take a risk, I bet on Atlanta Hawks [3.06] (Homecourt Advantage) against Miami Heat [1.43] also I bet 0.002BTC instead of 0.001 BTC as I said that we only bet 0.001 btc per game. I know that this is not a great idea because we all know that Atlanta Hawks is one of the weak team than Heat and in Eastern Conference but once speaking of Eastern Conference, this team are both Eastern Conference which is battling for a playoff seed. Atlanta Hawks will push this game to move there standing in Eastern Conference. That's enough! Lmao.


They will play at Hawks home which is a bit of an advantage and only Bazemore is only one who will not play but the Heat have a 10-7 record on the road which is a good for me. This is a bit risky if I will bet with this game but high risk = high reward as they say. Good luck with your bet Smiley . If I will bet on this, I will choose point spread rather than moneyline Cheesy.

I won again! 2-0. See if you go with my bet you could also win. I don't have any bet for tomorrow but once I already put a bet I'll edit this post. Stay tuned.
You're a great capper man, maybe I should start tailing on your pick Grin
have a great day on your day off and enjoy your winnings, maybe you should post more bets in a day if possible.

That would bring more fun!

Yeah I see that the Hawks did a great job on their home winning by a huge margin. Too bad I don't have funds in my cloudbet account at this moment but I will put some in the next few days and will bet Cheesy.

I like this Siakam dude, he is improving slowly and really complimenting Leonard at the scoring end. I do hope he continue his good play and I'm sure he will be running for the Most Improved Player this season. Bucks lost its touch didn't rotate the ball that much and their defense become questionable as well.
From the start, I know that Siakam will be a candidate for the Most Improved Player with what he is performing this season compare to last season where he is a bench. If he will continue how he is playing right now with offense then I think he has a big chance in getting that MIP award.

Yes, he could be a getting that MIP award if he continue what he had shown so far. He is even now a threat from the outside, which we never seen last season for him. And he can dribble penetrate for an easy two because he is very athletic. Might need some improvement on his defense though specially like blocking shots.

This season makes Siakam enters his prime state (I guess), Helping the raptors all the way he could brings out the best of his athleticism this season. He surely is a candidate for MIP, but I'm rooting for D.rose this year (Haha) funny but Rose did have an epic comeback after all the struggles he went through in his career. Going back to Siakam, he may be also a candidate for DPoY not only that Siakam has a good offensive rhythm but his defense is also his greatest strength, This guy can easily switch in defending a guard and/or big guys.

This could go either way, so bet based on your instinct.

Rockets are good at home Denver is having some great record as well, I agree that they won their last 2 on the road but it's against a not playoff team which are the kings and the suns, I guess this time it will be harder for them to win against the Rockets. Just want to touch this, Rockets loss to the Trail Blazers on their last game, so going back home and having their first game after 2 road trip games, I think they will do better.
