Who else watched Washington Wizards come back from 12 points deficit after the 3rd quarter to defeat the New York Knicks by 101 - 100. Although the wizards were the clear cut favorite ( I also had a bet on them to win with -4.5 points) to win the match but slump to 10 points behind after the 1st quarter, the 2nd quarter end draw and the lost the 3rd quarter again by a two points margin, but were able to stage a complete come back in the last quarter to win the match by a single point.

That's how good team respond to the situation, NEW YORK KNICKS desperate needs a win but they did not able to upset the Wizards on their home court.
4th quarter was the only quarter the wizards work hard to win the game, in the 1st 3 quarters, they struggle to take the game close but they got lucky in the 4th, home court really brings advantage as the crowd helps boost their confidence to still get back in the game and win.

Looks like defenders are confused on how to deal with James Harden. If they gonna get close contact on Harden they will be called on foul (even some of them are not really a foul). If not an aggressive defense, Harden will just go for a push or do a step back rainbow shot or 3s.

I'm that's how defenders think, Harden just master his style so much and we've seen improvement year after year.
Harden is a good shooter and knows how to fish foul by driving the ball inside most of the time, he will make more shots if he continue to bring the ball most of the time, and so far they are still doing good with their 6-4 last 10 games record.

Harden is doing the right thing base on his current doing. Might be annoying to anyone but his style is effective.

That's what he does, some will hate, some will appreciate, just like Mayweather in boxing, his style is annoying but that's where he is effective at.

On the other hand, producing 30+ or 40+ points in a streak is really a difficult task. That's how good the last season MVP is.

And he'll probably continue to produce this score now, I'm guessing 30+ average is easy for him going forward to this season.

Nets won thanks to Dinwiddie playing amazingly on the fourth quarter and the OT. Dude had 8 points going into fourth quarter and than ended the game at 33 points, that equals to 25 points in the fourth quarter and over time. That is an amazing performance by him and basically carried the whole team on his shoulders to a victory.

Harden continues his 40+ poing average games, he is about to become the second longest streak of 40+ points averaged after ... well of course wilt chamberlain. I think harden has a chance to beat kobe's 23 game streak, harden is at 19 right now, 4 more games close to or over 40 points and he can beat it unless he scores very little in the next games.

No matter what happens this has been a great year for him, without CP3 and any other help he managed to carry rockets back to where they belong, without Harden rockets are nothing. To think that he was at OKC and got here years ago, he turned into a superstar maybe a bit slowly but he worked hard and continued on his path to success without a break.

Interesting statistic for today's game between the Rockets and the Brookly nets.
Harden total FT attempt 23 ==>>> Brookly nets team total FT attempt is 22 Grin

Winner Nets - 145 -142

Harden does all the work for Rockets. On the other hand, sometimes other players need to take some attempts in order to rest him a little bit and keep the flow of the game as normal. Sometimes, after a huge streak of Harden and when he can't find a way to the basket Rockets seems to be helpless. I believe this is the role of Harden in the team however they don't have a full roster to support my thinking.

In this kind of scenarios, CP3 will be there to catch up and lift the team but right now he's not around and like what you have observed the rest of the team are all relying with harden's next move, they need to excel and keep the game running as a team and keep rotating so harden would need to lift
the entire game from his shoulder.

Amazing comeback win for the Brooklyn Nets. Down by 10 or more in the last four minutes was able to get back and tie the score. And again during the OT they are down, but played defense and hitting big time shots.

Harden's though has another 50+ point game but the Nets ruining it. Spencer Dinwiddie played very well today hitting three's during their comeback run and also in OT. Future All-star, or likely candidate for 6th Man.

The Nets had improved a lot this season, in the past seasons, they were one of the weakest teams in the NBA like the Sixers and the Phoenix Suns.
Now, they are competing and looks like they have a chance to be in the playoffs again, with these young team after they rebuild has finally found the success like the Celtics, in the past these 2 teams are involved on the Garnett and Paul Pierce trade but the Nets as the recipient were not successful on that trade that's why they also choose to rebuild.

As a crypto enthusiast I'm happy to know that Spencer Dinwiddie is the top scorer for the Nets in this game because he publicly said he is investing in crypto.

You know Golden State will win it when they made that 51 first quarter points.
They are all in good condition. Klay Thomson got the hot hands adding up 4 dunks in a game. Curry making those impossible shots and Durant contribution.

Yes, and the announcer was like "How many dunks does Klay usually does in a game, he has 3 already" and then Klay just dunks again, crazy.

Quote from: Reid on January 16, 2019, 02:28:08 AM

It will not be easy to tie the game if they are in that condition.
Congratulations to them for making the 5 consecutive winning streak.

Of course the complexion of the game will be different, but then again they blew off the Nuggets right from the start and never game them the chance to even get closer that 10 or 15 points if I'm not mistaken.

Warriors started to be streaking again and they will be in the stage that they are unbeatable again.
For them, game is so easy, they are just playing without pressure because they trust each other, I hope Durant and Draymond Green are okay now.
But I still want Durant to leave.

Durant is okay for me as a backup offensive player whenever the originals are injured. Problem is, it happened mostly.
Curry, Green and Iguodala having those mild injuries which seems to also reflect on their ranking.

Now they need most of the win they can get before hell happens again and Curry will be out which is like the heart of GSW. It aint GSW without him. They are a whack team.

As a long time Mavs fan, Im happy that they able to get a good spot on draft pick last season acquiring Smith Jr. and consider as one of the face of the franchise in the future. And the following draft pick, the arrival of Luka Doncic which strengthen Dallas firepower.

But while on progress, I have noticed that Smith Jr. and Doncic didn't have a good blend. It's not about the chemistry I guess since the numbers of games they played this seasoin is enough to test the waters but I think "something is going on".

And the result is, Dennis Smith Jr. is currently on trade plan list by the Mavs.

Anyways for those who didn't know, the NBA trade deadline is on February 7 so we can expect major and minor changes on a certain team or even a surprising blockbuster trade prior to that date.

Doncic is the main man for the Mavericks now and I did not seen the excitement in the past during the time of Dennis Smith Jr. and I'm not really interested with this player and Mavs was a shit team before Doncic's arrival. What I like about what's happening now is because Doncic is an underrated player but he prove himself that he can compete in the NBA even if he is just a rookie.

Some says, that European players are slow and I like the fact that Doncic prove them wrong.

Regarding the trade, I would agree with the Mavs to trade Dennis Smith Jr. , and welcome someone make the chemistry better.

Warriors and Nugget game was extraordinary. If you decide to watch only one game this month, make sure it is this one. Warriors played so well they were like a well oiled machine and they destroyed nuggets like hell. I mean considering they will add another superstar center on top of this game sounds insane. They will have Demarcus cousins at this line up. I mean as it is they are incredible and adding someone at that caliber sounds like unfair already.

I know we all talk about how warriors are destroying the league and winning every year but at one point I was hoping for them to eventually lose but clearly its not going to be this year, actually it will never happen until they break up themselves, I don't know when and how it will happen but with this roster there is no one even remotely close to their talent.

That 10 three's in the first quarter was lit. Just goes to show how overpowered this team is when curry, klay and kd caught fire all at the same time. What's even more scary is the fact that boogie is set to return so these guys would likely have more room to roast other teams from beyond the arc.

The easiest game for Today was the Warriors vs Nuggets, betting on the Warriors to win makes you feel relax while watching them.
Warriors are gonna win this game as they have a very large lead right now, Curry and Durant both have a good shooting night and Curry is very amazing as once again the 3 point shooting of his remains hot.

Who among you here bet on the Warriors to win? The line was Warriors -2, so it should easily win at this point.

Damn. Warrior's first quarter points in 51? That's insane. They also made 10 three point shot in that first quarter, setting a franchise record. And the win put them back at the driver sit and top of the Western Conference once again. That make's GSW a really difficult opponent for everyone. They're really unstoppable if all the shots are falling into places. Cousins hasn't played yet, so let's see if he perfectly fits on the team as it is reported that he is going to play on Friday.

They showed how good they are, most likely they will achieve more success and will break another record, the big 3 of the Warriors (Durant, Curry, and Thompson) are all good 3 point shooting, so if their opponent will not close them out, they will just keep shooting especially when at rhythm.

And also looks like that the Warriors is slowly peaking at this time, before the All-Star break and the put the pedal before the end of the regular season and take the number position in the West and show their detractors that they are still the team to beat.

Yes the big 3 poses a lot of problem specially if all of them will click in a game, just like we witnessed today. Thompson and Curry has 31 points each and KD added 27.

Wow! Harden did it again, 57 points against the Memphis Grizzlies, I think I find my new MVP at him, probably a back to back for him if he continue to play this way. This is a complete example of carrying his team by himself to win, he is responsible for the 50% of the total scores his team made tonight and almost perfect at free throw line with 17-18, that area is really where he is good at.

Let the season end and let the stats decide if he's going to be the MVP for this season. No doubt that Harden is such a very versatile and great player, every game he plays his performance is always the best.

The complete example of carrying a team that I've seen before was with Lebron James, I still have faith with LJ but I'm also starting to like the games and performance showed by Harden.

Harden is good right now but has not proven yet to be a great player, Lebron IMO is better than Harden, because if he like to just boost himself, Lebron can do it and he will be a better candidate compared to harden as he is not good in offense but also good in rebounding and defense, that's what harden's lack to be in line with great players like Kobe Bryant, and Michael Jordan which are the most popular in basketball history.

And that's how MVP should be, not only an offensive competitors but more with defensive stuff, harden already proven his greatness in terms of being an scoring machine but yet lacking in defense, and just like what you have said, he needs to improve on that part to be consider and line with what MJ and Kobe already proved and still being hold by lebron in terms of flexibility. just my own sense..
