What a game.
GSW vs Dallas Mavericks.

Defense is high for both teams and offensive shots are being done with hard plays and always contested.
This is NBA. I hope they all play like this one.
48 points for Steph Curry. Again, he showed the caliber of a MVP and a champion. On the other hand Dallas also showed how strong they are by now. Really love how they play and Doncic at 26/6/5. What a great player. I just hoped I have seen more Doncic time at the end of the game.

A loss of the Mavericks but the game was close, glad I was able to put my bet on Dallas because my bet covers.
There's still plenty of time and I think Dallas will improve, getting into the playoffs this year should be their goal because with Doncic this team plays like a real playoff team.

If Curry played like an MVP caliber, I'm sure you guys are also impressed with how Doncic play, let's award that ROY trophy already.

Neither hart nor KCP is remotely as good as Klay, klay not only has an insane catch and shoot level (the most three pointers made in a season who is not named curry) but also an elite defender who can lockdown any opposite player.
Klay is in different level because he has proven to be a clutch player especially in big games, he is one of the big reason on the success of the Warriors, his outside shooting is really good especially he gets hot.
If lakers could get Klay on their team, it is basically game over. Warriors would be losing Klay in their team and Draymond is getting worse while Cousins will surely not be in the team next year so they will be only left with Curry and Durant whereas Lakers will have Klay and Lebron on their team with a much better roster.
That would good for the NBA organization, their will be a balance of good player and the warriors may loss their starter but they are still the team to bet. Klay and Lebron, that's good, there will be some major adjustment but will certainly lead to a good improvement.
I don't doubt Lakers could beat everyone with Klay on their team not because they will be that much better but because they would also bleed warriors at the same time improving theirs. Of course there are players like JJ Reddick or Buddy Hield who are both amazing three point shooters but since Klay will be still in warriors in that scenario Lakers wouldn't be even close to them.
Just like when we predicted prior to this starts that Lebron will make the Lakers great, but it was not an easy journey, at the start they struggle and currently they are still a mediocre team in the NBA, they haven't proven yet. So, if Klay will land in Lakers, it's still not certain that our expectation will happen.

This season, we have seen how the Lakers struggle without Lebron so they never change, it's like a Cleveland Cavaliers team, Lebron is really a big factor in the team, if it is compared to a pie, he has the biggest portion, maybe like 90%.

We'll see in their division who will go to the finals. I bet Lakers will change their going to the playoffs. That's where we could see the changes when LeBron will play his a-game.

Looks like the OKC will take their revenge today, they are already leading in double digit and it's already 11 minutes in the 4th quarter.
Westbrook did not score much but the bench of the OKC give some really big help to win.

Congratulations to the OKC!

We can see that Kuzma has the talent needed by the team but what's lacking is the catch and shoot guy like Klay. Talent wise, yes Kuzma has it but with the addition of someone like Klay would make the Lakers a much different team than they were now.

Hart is the closest one that could catch and shoot like Klay from the Lakers. I know he aint that consistent with his 3 point shooting and sometimes he had a poor shoot selection, but give this kid a year or two and another year to fully develop his range. I really love to see this Lakers team for the next 4 years. This team is stacked with young talents.
Or we can add KCP as well, there are news that he is working with a shooting coach and it's evident that his shooting has improved as well. Of course this young prospects need to develop and I'm sure they will developed themselves in another year or two.

I strongly agree with that.

If I were the Lakers management I would really keep the three young guns. Ingram, Kuzma and Lonzo.
They have a lot of future ahead and we could already see that.
Just combine them with veteran player just so someone could teach them something and also control them when the game is heated up.

Lakers lose once again. This team is incredibly inconsistent without a true leader. Lebron is still out and he is by far the best playmaker they have and create so many offensive chances, without him Lakers look like they have no idea what they are doing. Rondo is out as well and he is normally a genius that could at least unlock the other teams defense and help his teammates realize what they should do in order to win, Lonzo got into early foul trouble so he wasn't really effective neither.

Just like I said in my previous, even though that Lakers is performing very well at times without Lebron, the team really needs his leadership on the court. They needed his basket IQ and basketball minds to create a lot of offensive chances which they obviously lack today. This is uncharted territories for the young team right now so it's a big challenge for them. So far they have been inconsistent though.

Put Donovan amazing game on top of that and you get yourself another loss. I just really hope Lakers will get better with time but seriously it has been years of tanking and young guys improving and we still don't have anything to show for it, they must be getting a bit better by this time around, I am not expecting them to be amazing, they could still lose a lot of games but not being able to score and have no clue how to is not really acceptable at this level.

For a Laker fans, yes it's frustrating to see them tank for years now. There's a lot of hype around Lonzo when he enter, but so far  we haven't seen any significant changes. I'm sure they are not panicking, but I guess we really need some time to see them back in the groove and wait till Lebron is back. They are still holding the 8th spot (23-20).

Not yet, I guess he will drop from top 10  because he got expose tonight.
The Utah Jazz just simply dominated them, Kuzma played 36 minutes and after making 41 points in their previous game, he was held for only 11 points today. No 3 point shot made in the entire game and had a very poor shooting at 4-18 from the field.

Clearly, that one game against the Piston was just a lucky game for Kuzma because they are playing a struggling team too, unlike the Jazz who are doing well.
I can agree with this. He isn't that good enough to sustain how he plays in their last game against the Pistons. He is inexperienced unlike other players that can play superb performance in consecutive games. One thing more is the Lakers are not that good in  road. They are only good in their home but not at the road.

It's obvious that the Lakers are not good at the road but maybe if they add up one three point shooter, then the taste of their game would be different. Another thing is, they don't have the king at their disposal right now due to injury. So let's just see when he comeback, and ohw, he is willing to invite Klay to the Lakers this summer after his contract expires from the warriors. This would be exciting.

Lol. Kuzma scoring that much can also be attributed to lebron not playing 🤣 the kid does have good potential and talent and can excel given the right opportunity but still has a long way to go.

Anyone noticed the chemistry of Lakers?  Cool

They are getting better at passing and they always knew where their team mate is.
Kuzma getting 41 points for just 29 minutes. 9 players of Lakers played the game and 8 got points on their stats against the strong Detroit Pistons. What's better? Doing it without Lebron and Rondo.
Now they are getting fun to watch specially Kuzma. I am a big fan of this young player.
I also admired how this young rookie played, we've heard a lot from different rookies in the league but this boy have it's own way to be recognized and be noticed, I see him before LeBron's transfer and looking forward to see him improved and with how LeBron treat him there's a lots to expect with this young superstar.

You guys noticed that Kuzma is already in the top 10 in the All Star voting?

I guess the NBA and the fans are noticing that this kid is something special and he has a lot of leg room to improved and could be the potential Lakers franchise players.

Of course they are better if Lebron is on the court, but I don't see any differences whether he is playing on the court or not. Just fun to see Lakers and the chemistry they build specially with this kids.

Clearly, that one game against the Pistorn was just a lucky game for Kuzma because they are playing a struggling team too, unlike the Jazz who are doing well.
Indeed, he has to learn how to pace himself out. Or the Jazz really scouted and concentrate on him that's why he as a awful night. Could be they got tired as well, or just have a off-night. Nevertheless, Kuzma is a big potential and I'm sure that he is learning a lot from James and Rondo on how to handle setbacks.
Not all performances of each player would really be the same on each team that they would face-off. Even superstars cant even show-off anytime when they are on the court against team
or simply doesnt shine or do have odd performance and for a rookie like Kuzma then its not different at all but he do really have the potential.We can clearly see on his performance.

Lebron trust him that's why his confident was boosted.
I like him because he is consistent, it's the coach decision to give him more opportunity to shoot and he has not waste that opportunity.
Tonight, they have a game against the Utah Jazz, let's see if he can continue his high scoring, I know it's gonna be tough because Jazz is a defensive team.
