Is Anthony Davis being controlled? I have noticed that he only played limited minutes on their recent games and even sat out on the whole 4th quarter.

The reason:
" The center will likely not see action in the fourth quarter as the Pelicans continue to protect themselves and try to limit the risk of any injury to Davis for the rest of the season."

Anthony Davis:
"I mean, I think everybody wants to play the fourth quarter. Obviously it is frustrating. I've never, like I said before, been a guy who has been able to sit out the fourth, but I just play and do whatever I can, play as hard as I can for the minutes I am on the floor."

Alvin Gentry (head coach):
"He's fine. He's not frustrated at all. Everything that we've done has been totally transparent. We sit down and we discuss it and we talk to him and we try to do what we think is best for the franchise and he understands it, so there's no animosity at all toward it. Obviously he'd like to be playing. But I think we've got to look and see what we feel like is best for us at this particular time and move forward."

I understand that New Orleans Pelicans "might" give up now on their playoffs race because of the sole purpose of marketing a healthy Davis off season. But this is somehow unprofessional.

Unprofessional. Yes, that is the right word to it.
Look at them being transparent into their greed.
That aint funny at all.
They made NBA look like its all about the money now. Which ai do think is.
They are losing a lot of fans because of this kind of move. It aint just the management of New Orleans that is affected but the whole NBA.
It is disgusting.

The lost of Denver Nuggets today doesn't affect their standing, they are still ranked #2 in the Western Conference.

Match for tomorrow is between East's ranked 1 Bucks vs crowd's favorite Los Angeles Lakers.

Bucks won't have any difficulties against Lakers. LA Lakers are more weak that the Bucks squad and I think that it will be just a show game with high scoring points from both teams. The most interesting part would be again seeing Giannis and LeBron in the same pitch and dunking around!

Well it sucks when you have reached a point where you have to sit your player for the most important part of the game because you consider him as an investment.
That's not what sports should be about.

The the Nuggets win they could have taken the no. 1 spot again but that is not a big deal actually, nuggets entering in the playoffs is the big deal here.

Yeah, I'm sure I'm gonna watch that one, also I would put my bet on this game.
I'm thinking of beating against the crowd favorite, Lebron vs Giannis is good to watch, I'm expecting that it will be a close fight.

Durant and Curry was just smiling after that Wade shot.
It was a lucky shot and they did not really expect it.

A good game though for both Warriors and Heat. Those are the kind of games that you really want to see. A 4th quarter game where both teams are getting the lead back and forth and you just dont know which one will really win the game.
That was fun to watch. I can see the faces of the Warriors fans. They may have a face with an open mouth in silence. Grin

They werent smiling tonight when they lost against the magic in orlando.
Except durant sat out because I think he was embarassed too much from the previous lost he just didnt want to play tonight.
With them losing two games back to back it looks like they have run out of steam and others now have a chance to upset them in the playoffs seeing the kink in their armor in which cousins was going to fill in the void.

And with that lost, Nuggets is on the number 1 spot in WC. I think they needed this lost to somewhat wake them up. I don't think they ran out of steam here, maybe they're just having trouble closing out games. But I'm still expecting them to be the top seed here and be the favorite to retain their championship this year, so let's see.

No, they are not, nuggets also loss today so nothing changes.

They loss against the Jazz at home and I can say that the Jazz is always a team that has a chance to advance in the west.
I'm looking forward at the playoff race now and it seems like Lakers still has a slim chance to make it, for the warriors, it doesn't matter if they'll
go down, they will find a way to win just like last season.

It's time to back them in the next game, the warriors never lost 3 straight times this season IIRC.
Their next game will be against the sixers which is also a good team, still this is a road game but I like to back them here as they have time to relax before this game.

You can really feel up the thrill into these kind of times where the scores or gap is too close and the time is running out.You can feel up the intense since both teams
are doing their very best to score and avoiding opponents team to succeed and with these lucky shots, it can really happen anytime even me didn't expect for that wade buzzer beater shot.
Warrior fans reaction is just normal Wink

Eventhough GSW loss the game still fun to watch seeing Wade made that buzzer beater. I'm a GSW fan but I ain't mad for that last shot. Actually i'm happy for to see it and I guess the same with other NBA fans. Maybe because of respect to this man, you won't hate it. The reaction is priceless.

Dirks is a good choice because he is barely running anymore, he still has the talent but his body is not allowing him to play

I agree Dirk should retire after the end of the season. Watching him "run" up and down the court I have the feeling that at any moment he will literally break. It's that bad. Even Adam Silver was joking during All-Star break that this would be Nowitzki's last season.

By the way, Dirk only needs 68pts to surpass Wilt Chamberlain in the all-time scoring list (moving to 6th place). Mavs have 21 remaining games, so he will need to avg around 3.2ppg to get it done. That's doable imo.

Looks like Dwade can be a candidate for 6th Man award this season if he will continue to be like that until the end. Always showing a good performance "coming off a bench". Playing like he's not on a retirement season.

That buzzer beater by Dwade will always be remember by Golden State Warriors; a remarkable final game against the Miami Heat with Dwade on the floor.

He will really be missed.

Vince Carter also had an insane pump video, he was almost dunking on KAT today when KAT fouled him and he changed his dunk into layup midair to get the and one. Can be seen here ; https://streamable.com/7b5ls

Dude is just not getting old. It would be weird if Vince continued for another year, like he realized he could still play as a role player and can still bring it when needed instead of trying to reap the benefits of his old superstar days and now thanks to that he can get like 10 minutes a game if needed and coach wants to and can still contribute that way. He is in no manner a game changer but he can still give you decent bench minutes.

I am sure Dirk and Wade and Vince will be retiring at the end of the season and Dirks is a good choice because he is barely running anymore, he still has the talent but his body is not allowing him to play, Wade could become like Vince where he is a good bench player that helps out the team when needed if he wants to, like instead of retiring, just continue giving 10-15 even 20 minutes a game for the team and he will be fine.

How in the hell does dwanyne wade hit two three pointers to beat golden state warriors?
He fumbled the ball and just threw it up and hit the buzzer beating three pointer when gsw looked as if they had this game with their close finish. Huh

WTF, he was blocked but managed to throw the shot again and made it. And per interview, he said that Kobe was his inspiration when he pulled a similar three on them. And I think he is talking about this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8Tk_AK45eA

Next stop for Miami is the Rockets, so another tough battle ahead of them.

I thought there was an error with the video because I saw Kobe instead of Wade.
Now, I'm getting interested in this, was not able to see them playing but let me check the highlights of this game, Wade made a buzzer beater, needs to see this.

I'm sorry if I have confused you mate. Wade said that this one shot of Kobe against him somewhat stuck into his mind and the winning shot he made against GSW tonight reminds him of that Mamba mentality, it's not over till it's over. Grin

Vintage wade, he can do stuff like that easily.
He still got something big to offer for his team and we will really miss this guy as he will be retiring this season.

Warriors were the heavy favorites but haven't you notice that they struggle lately?
No doubt they can win but not convincingly, heat just rewarded their backers big time with this win.

For risk takers who loves to bet against the favorite this game is a big hit for them, Wade just simply amazing he wanted for fans to remember what he've
contributed for this franchise, glad he able to returned before his final season from this league.

Not sure if what is happening with the warriors but consider this lost as an ordinary game to move on, anyway, they still have the west number one spot.

That was a lucky shot by wade, the warriors would have won that game if wade was not lucky, of this game could have gone into OT if Durant shoot the last 2 free throw. There's a lot of surprises in NBA and that makes it fun to watch, games like this will always be in our memories because it's also done by a soon hall of famer.
