The Bucks are relying heavily on Giannis that they forgot to help him. I think its like what Lebron is doing in Cavs last season but one game is not enough for them to say that they are not strong when Giannis doesn't play. They are still the best in the East and with the recent trade they got, they got stronger. More 3 pt shooters + a good defender on the paint. I think they will bounce back on their next game

.

It's what we really can see with Bucks, Giannis contributes well to the team and we can't remove that fact when he's not in the game Bucks will literally perform bad. What will be their position if Giannis decides to go to another team.

Or if a better team offers him decent contract and has some teammates that can help him grow with his entire career? I think he's not yet to that point like what KD did but Giannis is like the precious hidden gem for Bucks before but not anymore. I hope he'll grow with that him and get some necessary help with some roster shuffle.

That's the problem with this team, opponents can easily predict where to place their hard defense, if giannis can be outscored the team can be easily
dominated, with how ixers build their line up right now, giannis really needs some help the management needs to think about the future of this team
and try to bring someone who can help giannis, else, he will just like Anthony Davis playing hard but still lack of support.

I agree, he could be a Anthony Davis in the making, not that we are down playing his strengths, but he is just a one man scoring machine for the Milwaukee Bucks. They needed another scoring options, so that they can spread the floor. They can't just go for a fast break every time and Giannis is the anchor. Come play-off time, teams are going to tighten up their defense and for sure they're going to put everything on Giannis and they could really be upset in the 1st or 2nd round by a stronger defensive East team.

That's it, more support is what he needed most. One day the right blend would be added to the line up, we'll see that the crowd would shout for this team. Bucks has only one title AFAIK and it's already from a very long time, so if this team got boosted with some proper support they are going to nail it.

Jesus Christ what a horrible game from both teams last night. Both Lakers and Sixers didn't play any defense at all, I understand new direction of the league is playing less defensively and that is one thing but on the first quarter it was something like 40-39 or something and then the game ended 143-120.
.

Lol, that is how game goes in the NBA today. As you notice, its rare to see a score below 100 after the game. Not only because players in this era did a lot of 3 points attempt, but also with a weak defense. It seems like they put all their effort and strength on offense. And also the calls on the fouls were too soft, one thing that trigger the player not to play hard defense.

Golden state almost lost another game against a bottom of the barrel team. First against Phoenix the other night and then against Miami yesterday.

That's their advantage. They have a lot of superstars in their line-up that can contribute in the crucial stretch of the game just like KD did.

Quote from: rdbase on February 11, 2019, 11:51:43 AM

If it wasnt for Durant with the last three pointer they would of lost because Miami scored more three pointers in the first half then they did with 11 out of 21 going in.
I dont know what the final amount of three pointers heat had for the night but they might have put in more then the warriors by the end of the night which is unusual for golden state to be dominated in this category.

I haven't check the stats as well but it would be interesting if indeed they're outshine in that category. Maybe it was just a off-nigh for them, but a win is win and GSW is still in top of the West division.

They are not dominant now, the dominance has taken by the Bucks already.
Though the warriors are not covering games lately but they are still heavy favorites in most games, I would say this team is overrated now.

It could be another loss for them, last time I remember killed them in the end was during Rockets match up this year I guess, it was Harden who nailed the 3 points game winning shot. Their roaster is messing up now, when Cousins sits, they have a better chance in defense, actually they have all offensive powers in the floor, they just need to tighten their defense inside.

I respect Westbrook more than Durant, at least he didn't go and join a 73 win team that was already loaded just to get an easy path to a championship ring.

Ohh! That was harsh but true Grin

. We have the same sentiment, even though Westbrook is boastful inside the hardcourt (I just don't know if he is the same outside) I still appreciate him because, first he is really strong and definitely got a talent so boasting is not an issue since he support it with good performance which sometimes even beyond expectations; and second, he remains loyal to OKC through the years and retain his pride wirh his team unlike KD who go to GSW just to have a greater chance of becoming a champion.

Correct.
Boasting is one of the characteristics of an NBA player. Even Jordan does and so is Kobe. It aint new anymore. Whats with other guys here having issues with that?
Stealing rebounds? That aint easy. Are you guys really playing basketball?
How the hell are you going to steal a rebound from a six foot 9 center?
Does it mean Jason Kidd also does steal rebounds?
Be real guys. He is just more of the agility type guy and loves to be on the paint and help with the rebound thing.

You cannot question those types of players.
I am a pointguard but I do love playing on the inside. I am not the Steve Nash type who will just wait for the inbound or the rebounder to get the ball and pass it to me.

Pffffttt. He deserves those triple doubles and I will support that. Although I hate him sometimes for boasting too much. Just a part of the game.

I don't mind showcasing offense because it usually looks great and when you do defense these days its mostly perimeter defense but seriously they had zero defense at all. Whoever had better field goal day basically won. Lebron never really went all in on regular season so I am use to it but basically all of the team didn't cared about defense neither.

Embiid played amazingly and I felt like chandler or Mcgee could be a bit help for Lakers but he just had 2 moves that killed whole Lakers all game, he either faked a three pointer and went in or he actually shot the ball, that is it and he had them every single time. The game needs to evolve back to defense or it will become such a boring sport soon.

Well there are bound to be games that's more similar to an all star game than a regular season game every once in a while and this happens to be it. Though it seems that tobias harris has an immediate effect on the sixers and they really can contend for the east. Another thing, if javale or marcus closed down on embiid, he might just be forced to get down inside where i don't think the two laker bigs would be enough to stop him.

HAHA, that Ricky Davis attempt is legendary status

Don't think that rebound even counted so it was all for nothing.

He steals rebounds from his own teammates

If I had such an athletic player at the point in my team, I would literally let him grab every d rebound and leave him push the pace.

It's a different case with Westbrook, he is clearly doing some stats padding and we all know that.
Try to search the words "stat padding" in google and you'll westbrook all over.
I'm just curious that he is consistent with double digit rebounds while their center is not achieving the same, it's not supposedly his job.

I know his teammates are just letting him do it as they understands how bad Westbrook's ambition in chasing the NBA hall of fame. shame on him. Shocked

Well it's pretty obvious that he is just stat padding specially after he broke the record of the great Oscar Robertson.

On the other hand, his team mates has benefited a lot of by scoring that much and increasing their point average and looking good as well, so I guess they are ok with how Westbrook or even James Harden play today.

Make yourself useful and ask google whos amongst leading offensive rebound point guards?
I guess opposing teams are boxing out for him too. kek

As long as he does not join 73 win teams, form or join multiple All-stars to chase a ring, requests a trade with 2 years left on his contract or any other bullshit, Brody has my blessing to stat pad his way into avg a triple-double for a 3rd straight year. (If it was that easy everyone would do it...done only once almost 50 years ago).

Celtics lost another game when they were leading 20 points at one point, that is back to back for them.

Unfortunately, they are the new "choke" team.

Quote from: guoyu78 on February 10, 2019, 11:19:14 AM

On a period when raptors are getting stronger with trades and bucks are making good moves as well and Sixers are miles ahead of everything getting amazing players during trade deadline, Celtics really dropped to 4th favorites now.

It also shows that the East is making every move to be very competitive in their division and obviously the wanted to challenge GSW and the rest of the West powerhouse.

Quote from: guoyu78 on February 10, 2019, 11:19:14 AM

They were the conference finalists last year without Kyrie and Gordon and now with them they are not even the favorites which shows how much NBA can change in just couple months. I think seeing how they play right now and how all other east teams play I think its easy to imagine Sixers could be the finalists this year.

Probably just a case of bad luck. Kyrie is really pushing his body in the last 10 games or so and wanted to bring Celtics to the next levels. But other teams are going very competitive as well. And in just a couple of months they are one of the favorites and now Bucks, Sixers and Toronto are fighting or the top seed. Hope though that Boston and Kyrie will not choke when the play-off starts and this is where the team elevate their game so lets see.

purposely passes instead of shooting when he is close to a triple double

First time I hear someone blames the point guard for deciding to pass instead of taking a shot, especially given the shooting slump he is in right now.

There are many times that in critical times during the game, the point guard should take the shot on him instead of passing the ball to someone else. This is the reason why players in these positions need to have players that have experience and are calm mentally.

Well, I assume you guys are discussing about James Harden's very obvious stat padding game against the Nuggets. It was a blow out game, superstars and other important pieces shouldve been sent to bench to avoid unnecessary situations may happen in the remaining minutes. IMO, im not really impressed by the numbers that a player will make after the game, Id rather be impressed by the player who made an impact throughout the game. There were a lot of underrated players out there that deserves more recognition than these stat padding superstars.

refuses to take half court shots at the end of the buzzer.

Well hey, because 40 feet contested shots have an insane chance of going in, right?. Unless it's the 4th quarter and your team is down with a second or two on the shot clock, these shots shouldn't be ever taken. They are absolutely meaningless.
