I was really hurt about this.
I am a pure Oladipo fan. Darn it. It was his steps trying to stop Siakam. He lost control of his legs and made a bad landing with his knee.
I really hate to see that kind of event.

Since they are one of the best defensive team, it could also affect the bets since Oladipo is one of their stars. I guess we could also use this to our advantage.
The odds will surely change.

People always undermine the playoff Lebron. Dude finished the league like at 4th or something seed last year and still made it to finals. Between, they didn't went to finals that easily, he had a team of nobodies in his team and no one else helped him out at all and look at Clevland right now without Lebron. That is the best way to check the teams and compare them.

Last year Lakers finished the league with 35-47 which is a bad record but not as bad as Clevland who is at 9-40 right now, that means if only they go 26-7 from now on (impossible) they will be better than last years Lakers. It means Lebron took a Clevland team that is probably like 15-67 or whatever and took them to finals, and here we have a Lakers that added Lebron, Rondo, Lance, Mcgee, Tyson, and god knows who else I am forgetting and still keeping the young core and you can see why Lebron could take this team really further then anyone can imagine. Lebron on playoffs is different then anything else you can see.

Hahaha. That is a rare situation where an all star player will be on a Shaqtin a Fool because of 2 fail plays. I can't stop myself from laughing when I watched the video .

Anyway, its expected that the Warriors will dominate on the road because the Lakers doesn't have some of their players like LBJ Rondo and Ball. Now that they are gone for the meantime, Kuzma, Ingram, Hart must step up right now. Zubac is stepping up already and they give him more minutes at this moment. He can help in defending inside the paint if he continues how he is playing right now.

Damn, after Paul George and Gordon Hayward injuries now major injury again happened in Pacers roster Victor Oladipo: https://www.facebook.com/kamotegamingph/videos/1985114361544446/

That's what happens to every NBA team when it losses 2 players from their main squad. Same results will happen to GSW if they lose Duncan and Curry from injury, or if Buck loses Antetokounmpo. The teams are built and carried from the stars as they take the majority of opportunities to score and leads the team in hard times during the game.

All they need is just to reach the playoffs, with Lebron in the team, this young star will again play great.
They do not have their leader now but they've been showing good basketball despite Lebron's answer, so I'm sure once Lebron is back, they will be in the  playoff spots again.

Yeah, let's wait for the Shaqtin a fool. 

Klay was on fire that night, if Kerr didn't replaced him he could have made more three's and break another record. But it's a good move to rest the first five and let his bench warmers play since they have taken the lead anyways.

As for the Lakers, they will keep on struggling without their leader and I don't see Kuzma or Ingram can carry the team at this point. They are now at the 9th spot and unless Bron comes back, its going to be a struggle just to keep them on the 8th spot for now.

Oklahoma Thunder was the highlight game of last night.
With Russell Westbrook dominating the game and Lillard. Where he told him "He has been busting that ass for years!".
Which was hilarious to watch cause you can clearly see what he said without hearing him(no mics close by) and the look on Lillards face is priceless at the free throw line.

You can see a highlight of the dunk in the video below which proves at 30 years he can still contend with the 20 something year olds and he still has the spirit to make a run in the playoffs.

I had them to win last night and made my parlay a nice one!
Just wish I had put the btc I lost to the raptors single bet on them instead.

Thanks Westbrook!

Here's another story highlights that I will follow while February 7 trade deadline approaches...

After playing 10 games with the Houston Rockets, Carmelo Anthony is now released from the Houston Rockets. He is traded to the Chicago Bulls but we can't expect him to play for the team. Bulls likely to used him for another trade or Melo can stay on this team if he wants.

Anyways, we can just expect a clear and good information about what will happen once trade deadline comes.

I havent read much about this Conley and Gasol being released and I hope not. Conley had been great ever since and still have the touch once heated up.

About the release though, it could be any reason but I do think it is not just about their great again.
The other side could be the profits of the venue. They might pull some stars to get that back, like one of the all star players just so they could make some money once again.

I do always think about that and that is one reason we should start to consider.

Apparently Memphis is looking to send Conley and Gasol away now. Not for nothing but they are willing to start tanking, they feel like it is time. First of all this team is by far the best team defensively in the league, even this season after all the grit and grind years you would expect them to start dropping but they are literally at 100 ppg scored on them on a league where average is over 110 ppg scored so they are 10+ ppg better on defense then any other team.

Why they would want to start over I have no idea. We know they are not going to win a championship anytime soon but why not keep on going with the vets you have and improve the young people on your team and just hope that you make profit instead of starting all over again with Sixers style and hope that it will work out for you, its a risk vs something known and I will always go with the known one instead of taking a risk.

I imagine any site where live betting is available.
The odds shown is dependent when the bet is placed being this high.
They must of just hit being ahead of them by 27 points. But from this point on it gets lower and lower the closer the opponent closed the gap of their points deficit.

Should be a lucky bet if the Warriors continue to dominate the Lakers.
I would like to know if only sportsbet are offering that kind betting odds, what other sites gives more offers?

Lakers are still really young, even with Lebron back they cannot win against the consistency of the warriors, no ball facilitator, that is also their big weakness. Warriors always do the revenge, remember when they loss against the Portland TrailBlazers at home, they also made their revenge by dominating the TrailBlazers on their home court.

After that Curry slipped, Kerr decided to rest his main squad later on to prevent possible injury. Almost a sure win with a big lead. This also stopped Klay from doing more points. This was also mentioned by the commentators right after the slipped that Kerr needs to rest his squad now as the important is winning and not for a record (I believed Klay don't want to sit early lol). Only DeMarcus Cousins remained on the final quarter as part of the main squad to help him interact with other GSW rosters.

Supposedly a good winnings if you nailed that.

Well for me it's not about being young why those two didn't able to carry the Lakers against the Warriors.

Even those 2 young guys played on their max performance, Golden State Warriors is just too much too handle for them and they also played at their best. Their shooting is good, their rotations and plays is good, their defense is good etc. which makes them dominant the whole game.

Ouch that hurts.
Garbage time took too long and that is why it gets to that point where the lead have a lot of change.

Thanks for the tip though. Because of that, I am now considering calculation of the garbage time. 3rd stringer players should be seen too if they could prevent the opponent from slicing the lead.

Sorry for the lost though.
Again a dominating GSW is stepping up. It could have been nice if Lebron is there to play.

With Klay Thompson setting the league record with 10 made 3 pointers and they took him out of the game because he accomplished enough for the game and were up by enough to put in the garbage crew afterwards. Then the slip by Curry looked as if he step on a banana or something. What a irresponsible thing of Steve Kerr to do with one of his star players when they were up by 26+ points.
LA showed they can not compete with the top team without a leader and Ingram wasnt that leader whom the players can rally behind. Like a Harden or Curry can do for their team.
The Phila game was alot more exciting to watch then the Golden state one was.
Muscala blocking Tucker at the rim and an old time player Corey Brewer messing up with Harden's game was priceless to watch and they held the Rockets to 50 points at the half and under 100 points for the whole game was something to watch over and over again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r48TRaH92Lw
The game was entertaining because everybody had a little piece of Harden and it wasnt a blow out game even if they were up by 27+ points when it was over. They took out Harden early on in the fourth cause they knew they lost but he still had 27 points in the first half and ended the night with 37 points.
I bet on the 76ers to beat the rockets and the odds were 1.55x and also had them under 224.5 and it hit. Also had the warriors game on over 232.5 and got it too but only because Klay Thompson scored so many three pointers and ended the night with 44 points. With so many star players Curry wasnt utilized like he normally is in their games and think he scored his first three pointer late in the third quarter.

I mean to begin with even with full rosters Warriors is by far the better team, not even remotely close to each other. However, considering all rondo, Lonzo and LEBRON was missing the game, it wasn't a shock to anyone that Warriors won. I am never a fan of thinking any team will win at any given night because even the most horrible tanking team could give their moneys worth to Warriors on a regular season game but lets be honest with each other Warriors is not losing these small games, it matters for home court advantage.

I think if anyone wagered on warriors last night on Moneyline it would have been easy profits, not like its different other nights but Lakers missed a lot of crucial players to begin with. If its by 26+ like you did then there is always a risk involved since 26+ is really a whooole lot of points

That's right, without lebron and rondo the team will have big problem competing with GSW, I remember the last time they played lakers was able to survive even lebron needs to bench out because the injury, rondo was able to command the game and got the chance to win that game, today w/out
them and Lonzo lakers struggles but I commence the rest of the team as they tried to make the game close before the 3rd quarter showdown of
thompson.

TBH, without LBJ and Rondo, Lakers are really struggling, now that Ball is also out too. Kuzma and Ingram are still young to carry this team though, kodus, to their efforts as they stood out to be the leaders of the team. On the other side, Klay did relatively do most of the damage in this game, shooting first 10 attempts beyond the arc with 10-11 3PFG%, he's literally on fire. What more could they do if Curry did the same (though he has an off shooting 3-12FG, 2-10 in 3pt line) but still he'd able to dish out 12 ast in this game plus a ticket to Shaqtin.

Yeah! He's the lead scorer having 44 points, what an outstanding performance . It seems that Warriors get even stronger after Cousins is now able to play for their team. They are now completely an All Star Team (looks unfair for other teams but they can't do anything about it). Let's see if Lebron and the youngsters could be able to stop them in their next match, I can't wait to watch it.

Does somebody laugh out loud after Curry's slip and 3 point miss? For sure he will be a candidate for Shaqtin a Fool .
