The Houston rockets in today once again defeated the New part that goes from the Pelicans, they have created a New record, the next game if we can beat the Atlanta hawks can be the first to reach 60 wins team!

James harden is sure to get the MVP!

James Harden and the rockets simply enjoyable to watch especially when they are executing the simple pick and roll. The beard is too much to handle for the pelicans. He make it possible even though CP3 is out due to injury. History is being created by the rockets, though to finish this season with the a bang, the rockets must keep this type of hype until the end.

Does somebody know if Antetokounmpo will play tonight or no? Either way, I don't think they will have any problems against unmotivated Bulls who will most likely be tanking for the rest of season.
Funny thing I was just looking at the Bulls last 10 games and they haven't won too many games.
They the worst team there is right now with only beating Memphis twice and that team has only 11 wins this season.
The Bulls definitely need to do something in the offseason or hope they get a good draft pick so they can have another Jordan like player again to bring it all back to Chicago. Because right now they are the joke of the league.


Yeah, you are right. It's sad to see one of the biggest franchises in the history of NBA. Btw, how do you comment Grizlies who lost by 61 points to Hornets who btw don't have chance to win Play-off spot??? Just LOL

They are on a rebuilding stage and eventually they can find a good players that would help the bulls to become a threat again.
Every team has their time, look at the Sixers, they are consistent to be non performing for many seasons but now they are already battling
in the coming playoffs, and not only that, they have become a threat on the way they played now.
Bulls produce the best basketball player of all time, not sure what happen to this franchise after trying to be a competitive team with Drose before,
can't see the reason why they can't find good selections of players, or they are just not the same management before who can really scout players
and knows how to build up the players together with the coaching staff.

bad news for Boston: Irving will undergo knee surgery tomorrow and then almost certainly for him the season is over.
Another serious absence for Boston after that of Gordon Hayward.

Ouch. What happened?  I read that he will have second opinions though so I hope that he can go back and play for the playoffs. Hayward being absence already put a lot of strain in the Celtics defense as well as offense. But if Irving will be sidelined for the rest of the season, then I think it will be also over for the Boston Celtics hopes to at least win the Conference in the East. Lets see how it goes and I hope that the injury is nothing that serious and not career ending.
With this news, I am seeing a Raptors vs Cavaliers in the east finals, Boston is good but they cannot last in the series without
their best players and Irving just exceeds our expectation on him so without him, Boston playoff future is not good.
Sad news for Boston again, if Irving is over for the rest of the season, then raptors and cavs will be favored for this east playoffs, the journey
is over again for Boston, while in the other end, cavs already got love to back up their inside defense, with love's presence the team that leads
by lebron is more competitive and showing aggressiveness to make sure that they've got the playoffs spot.
That's a very huge blow for the Boston Celtics since Kyrie Irving is said to require injury on his left knee and that they will not know the time that he will even return to the team But with their star player out, I doubt that they can go far in the play offs.

I was wondering why Kyrie Irving was sitting on the bench last game I watched them a few days ago and not on the court.
He is their go to person when down by a few points in clutch time. They will not survive the first round during the playoffs if Irving is gone the rest of the season.
Very sad situation in Boston.

Not yet. There is this young team that will pursue a championship.
I am talking about the Philadelphia 76ers. A lot of good things have happened to them. Simmons and Embid will be the key for this team.
Embid shooting threes is not a joke. Imagine the center always outside which will free up some  space underneath the basket and will be an easy score in the paint.

Raptors might be doing great with the standings right now but it doesnt mean they will be the winners in the Finals. The game will be different in the playoffs. You wont know what could happen. Do you remember Grizzlies winning with the Spurs? That is number 1 against number 8.
Playing in the play offs is totally different when playing in the league that's i am going to tip the Cavaliers to win the Eastern Conference but with Stephen Curry recurring injuries, I think either the Rockets or Thunder are going to emerge Champions in the Eastern Conference.

In this case, another year for LeBron and the Cavs in the finals appearance. I mean the raptors are a solid team in the east, but certainly they just cant beat the Cavs in a 7 game series. Both teams already met several times in offseason with the raptors almost have the same roster from before.

He didn't played last time against LA Clipper because of his right ankle. And this is still the reason he can't play again for their match against Bulls.  Undecided

Dwight Howard monster performance helps the Charlotte Hornets snatch a win. It's not about the playoffs spot but one great thing happened in this game is Dwight Howard's record. He produced 32 points and 30 rebounds Shocked on that game and became a 3rd player in the NBA history to produced a 30-30 points+rebound on a single game.

But unfortunately he was being suspended for one game, not for that record (it's a lol) but for getting the 16th technical foul this season. Well it's a NBA rule that once a player reached 16th technical foul for that season, it will be an automatic suspension the next game.

Missin the prime Dwight Howard because of that performance. Smiley

yes, it is an amazing performance!
there were 8 players in Nba with at least 30 points + 30 rebounds: in 2010 Kevin love, Karl Malone in 1982 while Wilt Chamberlain did 124 times at least 30 points + 30rebounds!
He is good no question but he is inconsistent, I think Charlotte will miss the playoffs this year but they are very consistent in the past years.
I don't now if with howard in this team they can still improve, by the way, good thing that Howard played a lot of games this season.
Yes. I agree with you there.
Charlotte is not a very good team without Howard.
But as that those 30 rebounds was an amazing achievement. I watched the replay of him doing that last one with a couple of seconds to go and it looked  as if the other team player just let him have it so he can get that last rebound to be the first to get a 30-30 game. LOL! Grin
Even the announcer said that when they showed it afterwards. Wink

Looks like Dwight has totally lost his and he is like a bad omen to the teams he has joined that's why they have to let him go, I don't know, ever since he left Magic, he wasn't the same anymore. Yeah he did a 30-30 but that's it.

I'm sure that he can be totally forgotten because of his bad performance on whatever team he got into, but something is wrong with the guy, he's either frustrated that's why he got so many T's or maybe he has lost the competitiveness inside of him.

And from the recent happening on Charlotte Hornets via Dwight Howard's 30+ points 30 rebounds record, another record again have been set by one of their rosters, Kemba Walker.

From those who didn't know, Charlotte Hornets pinned down Memphis Grizzlies for 61 Points. Imagine that big lead and one of the most biggest lead established in NBA history. Dwight Howard missed that game due to automatic suspension via 16th technical season so how much more it could be if he played. For 140 total points produced by Charlotte Hornets, 46 here is being contributed by Kemba Walker for 28 minutes of playing (take note that he already made 35 points at halftime).

Kemba Walker now joined Joe Dumars (1994) and Kyrie Irving (2015) for making a 10 big 3's and 10 Ft's in a single game.

A very bad game for both Houston Rockets and Detroit Pistons.
Both have a low percentage of shooting. Even free throws dont even work much. Only Gordon works on Houston and not much with the Pistons.
It is just with the overtime where Harden works that gave the Houston a good win in the end.

This is not how Houston plays even if Chris Paul is out. I hope he gets well when the playoffs starts.

I remember the assistant coach of Houston saying that this is not how they play. And from the expression of his face, he was really disappointed as to how they are playing at that time. Harden, didn't even score a point up to the last 4 minutes of the second quarter and missed a free throw which is unusual. Good thing that they escape with the win, otherwise if will be a big disappointed if they left this one slipped away. Really good to see that Harden didn't choke in OT but provided the spark again in this needed win to solidify their top spot in the West.
