The warriors are winning but they are struggling lately, they are not the same dominant team who can easily beat their opponent.
Their last 3 games at home are won by single digit only and on the last 2 games, against sacramento and Miami Heat, they only win by 2 points, these 2 teams are not a legit playoff contender but they cannot dominate even at home. I see they are a different team this season and the Rockets might be the next champ.

I don't know about the Rockets being the next champ. Maybe the Warriors are really struggling, yeah, they might not be the dominant team as we have seen them in the last 2-3 years but I think they can still pull it off in the Western conference and face a tough and physical East team so it makes it more interesting.

We don't know but if you will ask me, I would love to see a new match up again, Harden has been playing really well
and he deserved to be in big stage. The warriors are still the same team, they maybe struggle now but they are still the favorites in the NBA to become the NBA champion. Faried is a good addition to the Rockets, he can be very useful during the playoffs and Paul should remain healthy as his points are back now.

A big loss for the Golden State Warriors.
Even without Harden of the Rockets their role players seems to be doing good.
They are in hype. They did defense and offense and all are like excited to play.
The GSW though had a bad night. It is not like them. They are not pumped up.
Green got a strain injury at the 3rd by stepping on Cousins.
All in all Tucker, Gordon and CP3 did a great job and a hand of applause for Faried, he made a lot of difference for their game winner.

Trading rumors should be set aside while the season still on, they two young guns needs to prove their worth.

The trade deadline is over, so does the trade issue with the Lakers. Magic and the Lakers management was too smart not to trade these young guns, since there were a lot of superstars that will become free agents next year, they could atleast land 1 or 2 superstars.

That would be big but aren't they concern with their chance to be in the playoffs this season?
With the way they are playing and the competition int the west, I'm afraid they will not reach the playoffs this season, it would be embarrassing for the king since he consistently bring his team to the NBA finals and not able to enter the playoffs with his new team.

Moreover, have you seen how Davis perform lately, he is not as intense as before, and today they loss after being up by 20 points.

LeBron will definitely bring the Lakers to the playoffs this season. The pride of the king will remain untarnished that every season he would enter the playoffs. It would be difficult to bring it to the finals though.

Hasnt he been to the playoffs every year since 2010 even under different teams he has been with? I remember him with the heat and cavs bring them to the conference finals time and time again.
I know he has made it 13 out of the 15 years he has been playing.

I think Lakers veterans are there for the season, they are not there for the long term, so if they could just get a superstar I am sure the young kids of that team will come off from the bench and the veterans like lance will be gone. They will not sign those veterans until they are sure that they will not be capable of getting any superstars.

If you look at the free agents this summer you will see that there are not many people Lakers could get, I mean there are some people who are good but won't make Lakers a championship team, I mean if they could get either Durant or Kawhi that is great but that is doubtful and won't probably happen they "may" get Kyrie but Kyrie getting back together with Lebron is unlikely as well.

Aside from Cousins that would help their center position aside there is no one left in that free agency that would make Lakers a championship caliber team. Hence I think free agency will not be the place where they will go for becoming that good, they will have to do trades in the end.

Team world loss guys, 144 - 161, a very high scoring game.
For a while, I thought they had a chance but the team USA is just too good tonight, they are shooting well.

I'm waiting now on who will be declared as MVP, it's probably Kuzma IMO.

Wow, I thought Team World will take this one, but Team World was shooting poor specially in three points category and had more turnovers. Simmons lead them with 28 points, while Team USA had Kuzma with 35 points.

So he takes the MVP this year. Hats-off to him. It will also bring more confidence to him as a Laker.

It is a remarkable time for kuzma showing his capabilities, knowing that the game is composed of pure rising Stars, the future of NBA new legends, with that dominations he will be remembered and fans will delight him more, though I voted for Team World, I still adored and congratulate the team.

Can't wait to watch what would be the outcome of the rivals between team Gianni's and team LeBron's.,

All eyes is on the Lebron's vs Gianni's now. I'm sure every NBA fans wanted to Lebron's team to win because of its firepower. Anyways, here is a good article specially the stats of both teams.

http://www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/nba-all-star-2019-team-lebron-team-giannis-by-the-numbers-dwyane-wade-kevin-durant-anthony-davis/sv3vkvdqasw61mo234t70cdyj

Funny! How sure you are that people like Lemonkey team to win? He cannot even make free throws!? He cannot even make the Lakers into the playoffs. It's Harden who's making the NBA fun and should be the captain of the team!

I rest my case. hehehehe. I'm sure you have watched it and Lebron's team make a comeback and win the game for the fans. Well, its a total team effort as Durant won the MVP but Lebron did contributed. Grin

. Better luck next time, Harden making the NBA fun? with his step back un-guardable step back three's? And who just lost to the Lakers? Grin

High chances but not a guaranteed thing for Lebron to carry Lakers to playoffs but basing on their current performances there would be still some light that they can push through.

Lakers vs Rockets. Another interesting match, I'm sure you guys remember the Rondo-Chris Paul fight. I'm interested to see them face each other again, lol.

I'm watching it live now, the Rockets are leading in double digit and I think they'll pull this win.

Lakers pull an upset and stun Houston, but there are some dodgy calls specially in the dying minutes. But you can't take anything from Lebron as he try his best to lead this team. Paul and Harden, both fouling out, hard defeat for them as they lead as much as 19 if I'm not mistaken, but they have missed lots of three point and together with poor defense, allows Lakers to escape with a win.

It's unusual for this two top players to be fouled out together, lakers got lucky snatching this game out from the rockets, got a good lift from
kuzma and ingram together with lebron chances of getting their way to playoff still alive.

Trading rumors should be set aside while the season still on, they two young guns needs to prove their worth.

The Lakers got some big help from the refs, clearly they got dominated early but the refs ruined their momentum.
Best players are both fouled out, and the coach receives a technical foul, it's very clear that they don't like the officiating of that game.
Capela was back in this game but hasn't shown his beast mode yet, first game from injury is always touch as you will be trying to get back your confidence.

Indeed, that charging fouls against Harden was really questionable, and thus throwing the Rockets offense that time and that help the Lakers pull a upset. Anyways, not taking anything from the Lakers but they really work very hard that's why they got the win, but as you guys saw it, those crucial calls ruins Houston chance of winning the game.

We just hope it will happen, they are out of the playoff picture right now and therefore Lebron needs to work harder.
He should be more aggressive as it will bring energy to the team, right now he is the captain of the team so his young teammates rely's on him.
If he will trust this teammates, good things happen, just like what happen against the Rockets.

Yes, I think all the veterans contract is just for 1 year so it will open up some space.
Question is do they need more space to provide for a new star or they will just rely to this veterans for being a 2nd stringer and also giving good advices to the young stars which I think is working.

Kuzma should stay and so does Ingram. He is becoming more like Durant. Long arms with also high percentage of perimeter shooting. That will be hard to block.

Much focusing on offense would really have corresponding risk or putting up a hole on the defense and this is the case I have seen.Just the same on others presumptions which I thought
Lakers would lose this match after seeing that 19 point gap.They didn't able to sustain that lead and missing out lots of shots until the gap closes.

I thought Lakers will lose on that recent game against the Rockets. Not even watch the update anymore from 3rd quarter where they are down as many as 19. Hard to imagined that Rockets didn't able to maintain the lead. These are unusual.

Looks like James Harden magic soft foul didn't worked on this game and surprisingly, he was fouled out lol.

DeMar DeRozan will comeback at Scotiabank Arena (or formerly known back as Air Canada Centre) for their second meetup against the San Antonio Spurs. As everyone is expecting, looks like DeRozan will received a standing ovation or some recognition by the Raptors fan. For what it is, better watch the game later on.

Lol, whoever believes Lebron can't turn on the switch is so wrong its deadly funny. Look this dude managed to turn worst Cavs team ever into a finals team, look at Cavs right now, those guys are dead last in the league and playing so horribly that we don't even know whats going on out there, they could literally be just staying away from playing any game whole year and we wouldn't even notice it.

Lakers without Lebron is much much better than Cavs without Lebron, and Lebron will be playing this stretch with one goal in his mind, staying in the playoff range. When a guy like Lebron decides he wants to do something its very very difficult to keep him from doing it, specially if its as easy as reaching the playoffs, hell dude managed to beat a 73 win team "almost" by himself (of course Kyrie helped a bit) and getting Lakers to playoffs is silly comparatively.

Zion seems to be injured. His shoe exploded while he was running which made him try to stop at a weird angle and seem to have a knee injury now. I am not going to go into debate of how these NCAA players are risking everything and getting paid none must be a crime by now but I will talk about the future of Zion that probably didn't change at all.

I mean this is one of those injuries that even though its bad that it happened after all its an injury but scouts like it, because it happened with a misfortune thing like shoe exploding and it just means that Zion didn't get injured for something small like derrick rose or Greg Oden who gets injured all the time.

Zions injury wasn't like that and he will probably get back to playing soon or at least keep himself out until NBA. Dude has one of the most NBA ready bodies I have ever seen on anyone and with NBA help from coaches and trainers dude can become a modern day Barkley.

Yeah there are funny tweets about this by now.

It is a good sign for the Lakers and also an addition for their confidence specially their young guns.
Kuzma and Ingram have been doing quite some good stats every game and their donations for the team seems to go way far.
I bet Johnson is now doubting trading this two on the next season.
They aee their new game booster that also pulls viewers.
