Lympo (The Mark Cuban coin), sponsor of the game between OKC and Dallas :

I think he supports cryptocurrency with what he is doing right now and its not only Lympo that he is a sponsor of it. Cuban is also an investor and an adviser in one project named Current.

Mark Cuban is a businessman, so it is not a surprise if he explore on cryptocurrency. Just like ordinary people, businesmen also hink of some ways on how they could invest. The only difference is the assets each has. Like Cuban, he can afford making new coins or even buy shares through ICO in which he think could profit his investment.

Westbrook literally played horrible against Mavs as well, like it wasn't a different team and than they played with Mavs later and so forth.

Dude is so inconsistent that he played with Mavs and played horribly and sucked all game and they lost, after that he comes back he plays against Mavs again and this time he goes 32-11-11, like what the hell? Are you westbrook that bricked all his shots or are you the 114th triple double westbrook.

You never really know what you will get with him. However after seeing Durant getting rings with warriors, harden getting MVP and get 400+ points in 10 games and westbrook averaging triple double 2 years in a row, its obvious how much OKC screwed up, these guys were all in on the same team and will always be the biggest "what if" in the NBA history.

Westbrook-Harden-Durant-Ibaka-Adams , that was their starting lineup if they didn't break it up, thats much much much better than anything warriors have right now.

He changed when George came and also the sudden trade from Carmelo which made it worse.

I am guessing it is the age, although he still got the speed.
Or it could after he made peace with Durant.
Have you ever seen a mad Westbrook again after that?
He suddenly became a peaceful player with no boasting thay comes from his mouth.

Or is it the defense of Mavs? If Doncic will defend you then it will be a big problem.

Lympo (The Mark Cuban coin), sponsor of the game between OKC and Dallas :

I've seen that logo multiple times this season. It's not Mark Cuban's coin (although he has backed up several blockchain startups thus far), rather some sorta partnership between Lympo and the Mavs.

Thanks for the clarification, now I know that Marc Cuban has backed a lot of coins.
I also know that he is part of the board for the current project, has joined in their bounty campaign but this project has not been release in the market.

Anyway, let's talk about the games today, seems like the Raptors are gonna win today, they do not have 2 starters to play with them but Leonard is unstoppable.

Raptors already won as Leonard scored a career high 45 points, also Siakam did contributed as well with 28 points. Leonard had one of the exceptional shooting and on the 3rd quarter alone he didn't missed any shot. They are still in the second spot overall in the EC behind the Bucks.

They deserve to be in the no. 1 spot, I think they'll reclaim that spot sooner.
Good thing with the Raptors is they have build a good chemistry of a team work, some of their games are played without one of the starters, like Leonard being out, and now Lowry and Jonas Valančiūnas were out, but they are still good, they could be the best team and will be champ in the East if they are complete.

Russell Westbrook made up his game and they avenge their loses by dominating the Mavericks at home.
After a poor shooting in their previous game, Westrbrook come out hot with a tripple double tonight (32pts, 11 ast, 11 reb).
He is monster tonight, he proved that they are way better than the Mavericks especially at home, big congrats to him and to the backers.

Westbrook went at it right from the start. And he is very much aggressive in the offense and hit those beautiful bank shots. They already build a comfortable lead going into the second quarter and they didn't relinquished it even though Dallas has been hitting 3's. Good revenge win for the Thunder.

Easy win for them, they need to win consistently at home so they can use that advantage comes playoff time.
Westrbrook is always been aggressive, with his athleticism, you can expect he will give everything he has, but sometimes, even how good you are, you will experience some off night, but tonight, he showed up really well.

Exactly, easy win because Westbrook got to a good start. Usually he doesn't shoot that much or score early and contend to just share the ball with his team to get them going. But after the lost, he decided to change everything and took it personally to get the needed win against the team who just beat them a couple of nights ago.

Now, Luke Walton will have an idea on how to rotate his team and not just Lebron as always getting the higher minutes than others.

We are talking of the Sacramento Kings here, not a real playoff contender, if they can beat this team with the current line up of the Lakers, of course without Lebron, I don't think it already make them a better team. They are just lucky they played well in the 4th, but not really that good considering they did not dominate the game.

I would say they've improve if they can bet good teams, like the Spurs, Boston, or the Raptor, with Lebron sitting.

They do really need such time to improve themselves and its hard to deny that Lebron do really have big contribution on each team he would tend to join up. Sad to say but this is the
truth where coming to a point that you can really rely on his performance and letting him sit will already be a big loss on teams performance. I agree that they aren't really good enough.

Westbrook-Harden-Durant-Ibaka-Adams , that was their starting lineup if they didn't break it up, thats much much much better than anything warriors have right now.

This line up would surely be a championship contender. But how about the salary cap in which the team management would suffer. Besides, freeing those ball hugger like Durant and harden will surely benefit the team as well as they can get more reliable pieces with low salary. It's just sometimes players get a bad night just like what happens to Westbrook lately.

Yes, and as far as I can remember, James Harden didn't re-sign the contract that's why he was traded. So technically Adams and Harden can't be in the same line-up because when Adams arrived, Harden was already in Houston. It is also good to note that Victor Oladipo once played at OKC at well. And Oladipo became a great player after leaving OKC as well.

You said it right, though it's really enjoying watching them Sharing the game to each other, but you've got some point there, Sacramento is not that competitive compare to playoff contender's team, we can test them indeed when playing against those opponents who also have a caliber and ambitious to win the title with or without LeBron.

Lakers won even without Lebron and Rondo against a rookie team that is getting stronger.

Hart worked hard and also the youngsters of LA. Lebron had fun watching them on the sidelines.
Ingram donated a lot with some good stats in assist and rebounds.

Congratulations to them getting another win before the year end.

That team effort really give them a good competitive game against the kings, hart played well together with Ingram and the rest of the team, maybe this adjustment coming from Luke Walton really bring them to have a good blend, looking forward to keep seeing them enjoying and have a great run even without Lebron and Rondo, those young bloods really creating for the team making them competitive and not a Lebron center team.

Yes. Love watching new players too going all out for the team.
This is the the kind of game that I love watching and not those who protect their players just so they could go on playing the next game.

Now, Luke Walton will have an idea on how to rotate his team and not just Lebron as always getting the higher minutes than others.
I think they are complete by now. They just need plays that will make good shots.
I see that they lack at those types because they are not used to it. Somehow it just worked out against Sacramento.

Rondo wasn't really that much of a big name in this Lakers team to be honest, putting his name with Lebron looks a bit weird.
Yes, he is a mentor and he is one of the smartest players to play in this game but his talents are lacking compared to his mind, if his body would do things his mind is capable of than he would have been the greatest PG or at least in top 5.

Please don't forget Lance on the list. lol. We don't know what Rondo is doing off the court though. Maybe he really is a mentor and giving valuable tips to the young Lakers.

Quote from: justspare on December 31, 2018, 10:47:04 AM

On the other hand Lakers already lost to teams like clippers and kings without Lebron and that shows that Lakers still lacks a lot without proper players, young players are still good enough for tanking and probably won't make it to playoffs even if they tried.

Hence. this win against Kings which is arguably one of the worst teams in the league, Kings is improving but nowhere near the level Lakers want to be so if Lakers want to be great they really need to squeeze in that little time Lebron has (probably another 1 or 2 seasons) and get him some help.

A W is still a W. Again, this is a young Lakers team, and I'm sure that the management is having a short and long term plan with or without James.
