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?

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.
Based on the stats coming from this site, https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/siakapa01.html -he has a good improvement this year.

You can see his average points for this season so far, it's in double digit already compared to his past season in the Raptors, clearly there is a big improvement because not only his offense but all areas have improved. Maybe the reason is because he earn more good minutest that's why he was able to show his talent more.



That's right, earning more minutes means confidence build-up and lead to an increasing stats. Now that DeRozan was out of the raptors, it's time for some new blood getting the minutes and one of it was siakam gaining confidence. Even with green and Leonard was added, they are not the type of players to demand playing time, that's why other players can join the roation on the court.
I don't think it's because of DeRozan why he was not build up before, it's a coaching decision and they have a new coach which is Nick Nurse, and he is doing pretty, obviously you can see that in their current record. When DeRozan was out, they receive Leonard and Green, both are starters for the Spurs who played under a defensive style of coaching and they bring that energy here in Toronto. If they are the current team that faces Lebron in the last playoff, they will not be swept for sure and they might win against the cavs one man offense, Leonard will give Lebron a hard time and he has proven that when they beat the Heat way back and earned his first Finals MVP.

I think part of the reason why Giannis is playing so beastly is that the team is finally built around his talents. Jason Kidd was just trying to force the team into playing like he wants them to play. Bud instead makes the team play the way they want to play, that is the biggest difference.

Brook Lopez for example is a big that can shoot threes a lot better than many bigs in the league and when he is outside that means someone has to go outside to defend him and it can't be a small dude so he leaves an opennes inside for Giannis to go in, same with Middleton and others, when you have shooters outside it is impossible to stack your defenders inside so they take advantage of Giannis moving in, if people collapse on him, he can dish outside.

Sometimes they don't and he has 43 points like this. Plus Lopez not rebounding too much and instead focusing on offensive side helps Giannis to have 18 rebound type of games. This team is probably the best Giannis could hope for.

It is a sad loss for the Milwaukee Bucks.

They are full of energy at the first half getting a big lead against Toronto but they changed the way they play in the 3rd and 4th.

Leonard, although not scoring much on the first half showed why he is an MVP. Bombarded them with three's and Siakam also helping with the offense getting a new career high.
Congrats to Toronto though, a great come back.

Giannis Antetokounmpo's did have a monster game scoring 43 points with 18 rebounds as well. 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.

Good for him, he is surely be part of the MVP candidates this year but having a monsters game and you were not able to give a win to your team is not fulfilling in their part. He really showed his maturity also but he needs help from his crew to win especially against one of the best team in the NBA.

Watching this game is like watching a possible NBA eastern conference finals.

It is a sad loss for the Milwaukee Bucks.
I'm happy because I'm with the Raptors in this game. Grin home court advantage does not work this time.

They are full of energy at the first half getting a big lead against Toronto but they changed the way they play in the 3rd and 4th.
The Raptors also come out with full of energy, they just match the energy of the home team because they needed that as the crowd is against them.
3rd quarter was actually the different maker, if you look at the box score.
Leonard, although not scoring much on the first half showed why he is an MVP. Bombarded them with three's and Siakam also helping with the offense getting a new career high.
Congrats to Toronto though, a great come back.
The Raptors won because they showed what team work is, they share the ball very well and it resulted to a balance scoring night for them. Ibaka is also a big factor in this game, they step up and they do not rely on Leonard, unlike the bucks that relies heavily on Giannis.

I don't know what the Houston Rockets will do without Harden. In the Golden State Match, we can say that the team is called a backing. Is there an effort to become a legend?

Nuggets are really playing well this season, they have a shot in the playoffs once they enter and tonight Jokic is just playing so good with 39 points.
When your center plays like this, it will bring easy success for the team, nowadays  big guys already shoot 3s and Jokic  is one of the good shooters in the NBA. I wonder if you guys consider this young fella in the MVP conversation.

Remember when you have a dominant center in your team like Shaq and Duncan, who can pass, grab easy rebounds, and can create space to score in the paint. The team could be unstoppable. Lets just see if the Nuggets could maintain the performance and chemistry that they have right now in the playoffs.

I love it on how some underdog teams are performing well. Denver Nuggets and the Clippers in west while the Bucks and Indiana Pacers in the East. It would be a shame if those multi superstar teams get owned this coming playoffs.
Specially in the East. When Lebron moves to LA the conference opens up for a lot of team to step up and now we are seeing unfamiliar team taking the number slots like Bucks, Raptors And Pacers. For the West though, I still think that GSW will remain the team to beat.

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.

Instead of creating a new thread like others doing I'll post my bets in NBA here every day. Only 1mbtc per bet. For tomorrow game I choose to bet between Utah Jazz vs Detroit Piston.

My pick (Moneyline): Utah Jazz 1.82 against Detroit Piston with 2.06 odds.

My money goes on the same team and lets see if it would pass through.GL
Aren't you guys interested in this game? Denver Nuggets vs Charlotte Hornets.
They were the one who will play first before the Utah Jazz vs Detroit Piston. Who is your bet between those two?

Denver Nuggets is on a streak, I'm sure the odds are already on them. Could they remain undefeated against Charlotte Hornets? I can't say yes and i can't say no too because it is up to the team on how they outsmart their opponent.
The game is already finished, they won the game, final score 110-123.

He's just a quite fellow who really can play the game smartly, I just remembered how Dirk played before, a big man who have the ability to take advantage of his shooting percentage, with Jokic continue playing this way, nuggets will have the advantage just like how they easily defeats their opponents today.
