Another great game between the Warriors and Nuggets. Nuggets are down by a huge margin entering the 4th quarter but the Nuggets also have their own big run, and the momentum was transferred to the Nuggets. I thought that game will end in overtime but Jokic end it with his long 3 point shot.

Congratulations to the Nuggets, they showed the spirit of a champion, they never gave up although it was pretty obvious that they weren't getting calls. For the gamblers especially those who had the Nuggets -3.5, it's unfortunate that you lose your bet.

Well, it is what it is.
Jokic hit the game-winner, and I guess we don't want to call it a lucky shot, eh? He's just that good to hit that buzzer-beater.

The Warriors outscored them in the 3rd quarter, but they also got outscored in the final quarter. TBH, it's good to see Aaron Gordon back in the court already after the incident that happened to him. Gordon, Jokic, and Murray combined for 89 of the total 130 points while it's good to see the Splash Brothers doing it on offense and scoring a combined 54 points. I guess the Warriors not having Draymond Green has little to no effect on them, especially on the defense.

Speaking of defense, it's just kind of surprising to see the Milwaukee Bucks being at the bottom right now in terms of defense. I mean they're one of the top teams defensively in the past years, but ever since they got Lillard, they're now 21st in that category. It's kind of funny how the Pacers always win against them, and this season, they won 4 games out of 5 against the Bucks. I will not be surprised at all if the Pacers will beat the Bucks in the playoffs because I guess it's pretty sure that the Pacers will clinch the playoffs with how they're playing.

D'Angelo Russell might be traded or with (+ player). I think he isn't the same anymore, at least his impact aren't that great with the LA Lakers, Reaves was even more impactful than him, so if there's a possible trade that could allow D'Angelo Russell to be out with the Lakers, I think that will happen.

That could surely happen I thought that D'Angelo Russell would be great with the LA Lakers because he got a great start on his 1st day with the Lakers but he is inconsistent with that kind of performance and he is now consistent with what he showcases now, I am really disappointed and yes Austin Reeves I never thought that he could be something like this and become more impactful with the Lakers, and I really think he got a unique touch and he reminded me of Ryota Kise on the Anime Kuroko No Basuke I think he can copy some moves and it is entertaining for him to see that,

Dejounte Murray on the other hand, his stats are quite consistent, but we are still not seeing a big impact to the Atlanta Hawks. I think Hawks are better with Trae Young being the alpha and the rest are just role players. Actually, I believe they were better before Dejounte Murray arrrived.

For sure Trae Young is quite something and just like the Golden State Warriors their core revolves around Stephen Curry and they have made a roster that could help Curry win more rings, for sure if the Atlanta Hawks could apply this and get a roster that could help Trae Young with what he does best then that Core will surely be brighter, just like what the Indiana Pacers is doing with Tyrese Haliburton they incorporated a team that has height advantage and players that can make deep threes for Haliburton to make initial passes, on what ever range he wants,

That was a great game winner shot and what a win for Nuggets. Gsw was surprisingly good until the last minutes. When jamal murray was on the court from the beginning to the end of the game, the nuggets were always superior. Then Murray came to the bench to rest for a while and the score went up to 107-92. Gsw was even leading by 18 points with 6 minutes left in the game. Another very disappointing end to the game for gsw. 34 games in and gsw still out of the play-in pot. Because Green still hasn't returned to the team. the dynasty could be on the verge of falling apart this year.

I thought that the game is over, so I stop watching because the Warriors have build like 15 point lead in the last 5 minutes or so. But when I check the score right now, the Nuggets won by 3 points. So another collapsed lost here by the Warriors in their own homecourt, but as I had said before, it's already a end of the Warriors dynasty, we don't know if Green will be back as a Warrior and so is Klay Thompson. I think if someone bet on live, and get the Nuggets in the 4th quarter when they are down, for sure they are very happy to see that they got that big comeback and huge win for them.

Yeah, it was damn entertaining. It was an upset for gamblers. -10.5 was the starting bet for the Bucks and at halftime, it was -5.5 so, still not a win.

I don't usually write fast. Probably because of excitement man.

Everything on the spread of the Bucks from 1st to 3rd quarter was a trap. I only saw the line in the 4th when Spurs were up 3 and the moneyline odds for the Bucks was 2.20. I didn't take it though because I already had my bet on them, was hoping it will reach to OT so Bucks would have a chance to cover the high spread, but Tre Jones missed a wide 3 point shot to tie the game.

That could have make the game more entertaining. Giannis got blocked? Hmmmm.. we can't see that all the time, and coming from Wemby, it should help him boost his confidence. Wemby has the touch though, they should have set up a play for him to shoot the last shot to tie the ball game.

Wemby and the Spurs made it a lot of fun against the Milwaukee Bucks and I bet the Spurs fans had a happy night even though they lost the game.
I lost my bet for the Bucks as I took the -10.5 but that's one of the exciting games that I watched. Blocks and Dunks Fest. Wemby against Giannis. Lillard versus Vassell.
TNT picked the right game to broadcast.
Wemby made a lot of additions in his highlight reel tonight. That one dunk passing Lillard and against Lopez on the rim will probably be on the top 10 highlights of the week. And then the block against Giannis while he is trying to dunk the ball.
Giannis and the Bucks won the game and I bet Giannis' competitive spirit was once again boosted after meeting Wemby, that's their first meeting and it was damn awesome. Wemby was even forced to go beyond his minutes restrictions. 24 minutes was his limit, he played 26 minutes tonight.

Spurs almost upset the visiting Bucks. It was a very entertaining game and a winnable game by the Spurs.

That block of Wemby on Giannis was sick,^{I was trying to find the picture of it and will upload here but no one has uploaded it yet.}

Another big game by Giannis, he lead the Bucks and finished with 44 points and 14 rebounds, MVP number there.

Next game is Warriors vs Nuggets, ( will start in 5 minutes)

Have fun guys!

If the Lakers go bad like this, it seems like the Clippers will come to mind when Los Angeles is mentioned 🤔
Miami may not be a bad team, but they lost to Utah and the Clippers in their 3-game away series, but they beat the Lakers.
In the Lakers' Miami match, LeBron James appeared to be far from the contribution he should have made. Maybe he made 9 assists, but the 12 points he scored caused the loss.
In Miami, 8 players scored in double figures and although Anthony Davis was the top scorer of the match, Miami won the match 96-110.
With this result, the Lakers suffered their 3rd consecutive loss. He will play at home against Memphis on Saturday. If he loses this game, the next game will be the Clippers game and that game will be very difficult anyway.

It's unusual to see LeBron score only 12 points in a game. It was clearly a bad day for him, as he couldn't make most of his shots.
Anyway, the Lakers need to find the reason for their failures and make adjustments to their performance as soon as possible. Otherwise, even an underdog team like the Pistons will be a tough opponent for them.

That was his lowest output this season for sure. So I checked some of his lowest scoring, and it seems like the last time he scored 12 points was way back 2015. (https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/lowest-scoring-games-by-the-lebron-james).. So this is really an off night for him. Although his shooting is quite acceptable, just 30% or 6/18 but it's very unusual for him that he didn't have any free throw in this game.

I’m watching this Milwaukee Bucks vs San Antonio Spurs game and I’m pretty surprised that the Spurs are managing to stay with them as it’s currently a 1 point game with only a couple minutes left. The story of the night though has to be Wemby going around his back to get by Dame and dunk on Lopez. That’ll be on Sportscenter.

Yes, I saw some post about it, Lakers keep on losing, and then Clippers keep on winning. I guess it is still the battle of Los Angeles, but this time, Clippers has the upper hand, although Lebron has won the IST tournament already but we all know that after that they keep on struggling.

Memphis with Ja Morant is going to be hard to beat as well, but even though the Grizzlies lost their last game, they make a huge comeback against the Raptors and almost win that game. So we will see how the Lakers can contained the exciting Ja but if they can't then maybe another L for them.

I've read some statements from Steph that he's like one of the walls of the team and he shouldn't be traded because most of the decisions for each game, he's there to help.

Well, that's from the star players opinion and he might be one of the influence for whatever the management's decision.

But if it's about the actual business and what management think is best for the team, they may or may not consider any words from him.

At the end of the day, business is still a business. They will soon trade even Klay if he will not step up his game. I won't be surprised if the management will trade Draymond Green. They want someone who can help Steph, not someone who will cause problems for them.

I couldn't agree more with that.

NBA is a huge business and each team has their own interest to have the stronger line up and if they think that Dray and Wiggins are no longer effective on their end, they'll have them trade regardless of how many championships they've given to them.

We've seen stars even moving here and there and it doesn't matter to them anymore because that's how they understand how the entire business in the NBA works.

If it's going to be helpful to them and with Steph, they'll probably take another younger calibers.

Only 2 games on today but they’re both televised on TNT (and HBO Max I’ve recently learned). Last time the Spurs faced the Bucks Wemby was out so this should be an interesting matchup to watch as Wemby tries to stop Giannis. The Second game between the Warriors and the Nuggets should be a good matchup also, but I’m expecting Denver to win.

I like to go with the underdog Warriors over the Nuggets at Chase center. Warriors have been good in their homecourt and maybe Klay with a good match against the defender here, might go and fire some and get back his shooting. Of course, Curry will have to score 30+ or more for them to have a good chance, and then Kuminga and the rest of them.

I do agree, different era's different GOAT, but it's good to hear arguments for and against Jordan, Kobe and Lebron and who might be the best of them.

Each one has it's merit though, so for me, whoever you grow up watching and idolizing then that player could be your GOAT.

I don't know what I was thinking putting money down on my Chicago Bulls last night. They were being given a decently 'healthy" +8.5 points, but not having Zach Lavine back yet as well as Nikola Vucevic was a bit of a stretch to think they could come close to beating the Knicks. They have played quite well all thing considered (not have Lavine for a month or so), so there's some solid progress but my Bulls are coming out of their losing ways for whats seemingly years to come.

They need to give more focus on their improvement and continue to look for another opportunity to fix their lineups because this is not how it should end for Lebron when he wanted to be recognized as the GOAT in the NBA.

Kobe didn't end well his remaining seasons in the NBA but he was still recognized as one of the best. And I don't think Lebron is better than Kobe, Kobe wasn't even declared as GOAT as there's only one who is, and that is MJ.

Oohhh.. That's going to be another long debate. Cheesy

Well, for me they are GOAT of their own eras. MJ on his time, Kobe on his own, and so do Lebron James. I think that's the safest and most shortened version to avoid more discussions about it. For me though, it's MJ as the best of all these three that I mentioned.

Did anyone watch the game between the Utah Jazz and the Detroit Pistons? It's a battle of offense. Cheesy

The score went to a total of 302 points and ended in overtime. Sure, there's an overtime that may have caused the high points but their end-of-regulation score was 276 which is still high. Jazz has Clarkson with 36 points and Markkanen with 31 points. The Pistons have Bogdanovic with 36 points and Cunningham with 31. The regulation was the fun one. I though the Jazz ended it with the Markkanen three-pointer and the Pistons doesn't have a timeout but Alec Burks, damn, a buzzer-beater to tie the game.
In the end, the Jazz still won it.

So part of it mate, it was really a back and forth game between the two and it's unpredictable as who is going to win that game, and it's raining 3 point shot. But then that shot of Alec Burks forcing the OT to give hope to the Pistons that they can manage a win again.

But then again, the Jazz will have to close it out in OT, but if you have bet on the over on this match, you will be lucky to see that your bet has hit already entering the 4th quarter. Hard to compare the GOAT, it's a discussion that has been going on and even Michael himself has his own take about it.

I had the other side. I had an in game bet of under 273.5. That Alec Burks 29 footer but a nail in the under. Was a crazy game. Enjoyed it either way and then once I lost was rooting on Detroit. Burks coming from the Knicks I always root for anyway, but dude cost me money Sad

lol. I've watched Detroit play enough to know they shouldn't be losing all these games. They just need one piece that can get them through the end of game situations and get some fight into them. They need a defensive presence on that team.

I believe that seems like nearly a record breaking amount, or maybe it already is and I am not sure because I do not know what's the combined highest for teams. I mean we have seen more at all-star games, specially recently, considering nobody ever plays defense at those games, but it feels like they are really just giving up defense at regular season games too.

Scoring 276 is feeling "a bit" normal these days, still a lot of course, but that's like scoring nearly 140 each. A game where Utah scored 154 and Pistons scored 148 just feels way too wrong, it is not really normal. I get that we are not in early 2000's where teams scored like 90 points each, we do have more high scoring games now, but not THIS high scoring, this is definitely huge.

Yeah I'm looming forward to it too. I would imagine if the Bucks get out to a sizable lead which they very well can do, then you won't see much of giannis in the second half. Back to back road games I'm sure he could use a breather. All dependent on score though. Either way I will be tuning in to watch giannis terrorize the paint. And in the other game it almost seems like a trap game. All signs point towards Denver dominating this game with gs reeling but I've featured to never bet against steph in prime time. The lights do something to him. Should be a good one on his home court. I'm taking the Bucks-9 and a stab at the GS money line with the odds
