What happen to the cavaliers, they lose twice in a row already against the struggling Spurs.
I really thought they can easily win the game tonight since they are coming from a loss and they need to bounce back hard, so this line up is not working again?

Well James played well almost producing another triple double. But the the rest of them didn't contributed well and was missing a lot of shots. And I read that James is blaming the officiating of the game. San Antonio was called for just 12 personal fouls and only three in the second half, and they shot 32 free throws compared to 14 for the Cavs. Very weird stats.

I guess coach Tyron need another reshuffling of the new roster and see what combination will click again. Initially they have success, but against San Antonio, it looks like they are not jamming very well.

James played great but I really think that he need one superstar playing with him. Certain amount of time need to pass so that new players could get together in the game, to get know each other so they could play like a team.
Coach Pop did a great job, chose a wining tactic, playing almost every attack on Aldridge. There is no player in Cleveland that can play against him, to play good defense on him. With all the other players playing their roles perfectly, this kind of result was inevitable.
 I don`t think that they have quality to play finale, even conference finale would be great success at this moment for Cavs.
Another superstar isn't really necessary as long the players are doing their own job or position.This is just a normal results into a particular game. The team that do plays better will surely win the game. Team coordination do really need takes time for them to be synchronized on their plays.Talking about those numbers related on officiating its really very weird to me.I do have the same doubts towards that game.

I agree. Why would the team needs another superstar when all they have acquired have been producing great numbers for the team and each one of them know their roles. There's no who is the next main man behind Lebron, but they contributed based on their capacity as a team player and not as a individual contributor.

Yes, it weird that's why I did try to put emphasize on them, however, looks like we have heard this excuses a million times and I hope that NBA will review and see if there are lapses along the way.
yeah this game against Spurs felt like it was officiated also I don't think that the Cavs had a balanced lineup between offensive/defensive and from what I seen from Cedi Osman to the point I was thinking Hood might be better suited with the starting lineup the problem in the last two losses is they didn't have that perimeter shooter. While i think Clarkson is one of those young guys who opposing teams can speed up until he's no longer playing in control. And I sad they lost this game because they are losing on the three point line. This was the first game since the new guys came over that I felt like the team really missed Love.
Changes would be always there and missing out previous players cant really be avoided but they should moved on and focused on what they are recently facing up.If they would put up or set their minds towards it then they cant really move on.I have the same observations that they are really missing out lots of shots in three point line.Talking about their starting line up I don't have any complaints on it.

Rockets now are on a 12 winning streak and they are leading the West with 46-13 win-loss standing.
The Chris Paul and James Harden Duo have made the Rockets a very tough team to beat, it's their time to shine, it's nice to see
them playing the warriors in the Playoffs, this time it would not be an easy win by the Dubs if they can beat the Beard.

The rockets were very competitive with the jazz, and the rockets played very well.

The rockets lacked Gordon, capella and Anderson today, which seriously affected their offense!

They won the game by defense!

I didn't noticed that they are now on 12 winning streak. These two are really a good scoring machine for the Rockets there's only one thing that worries me that they can't hold this streak when they are able to reach the semis or quarter finals.

Rockets is really a great contender in the west, Durant and rest of GSW must prepare for the worst if they will meet in the conference finals.
Yes they are and for Golden State Warriors, there's a too many fans who have big expectations to them.

Very impressive stats for them after acquiring Paul, I'm also positive that it can be a difficult playoff series from the west as we see rockets showing big
and playing as one, though it's really a competitive gsw after they added Durant and the team are also performing well with curry and the rest of team,
exciting and still unpredictable finals that we will going to expect this season.

Having that said, CP3 is the missing piece for the Rockets. CP3's Basketball IQ makes the rotation ball even for the team. James Harden on the other side can now focus penetrating the defense of the opponent's team. Unlike before Harden is forced to play for a PG position just to create spacing and create plays which are quite hard and tiring job.

Rockets is really a great contender in the west, Durant and rest of GSW must prepare for the worst if they will meet in the conference finals.



Other news, Leonard is expected to return to practice on March 1. This is a good sign for the Spurs and for the fans, Kawhi's tenacity on the game is boosting the team's morale. I hope that he could be healthy for the rest of the season, if not then the Spurs dream road to western finals is in danger.

Yes, its really nice that they where able to get Chris Paul and improved their chances of at least facing Golden State at the conference finals. However, I still remember how Harden choke against San Antonio. Lol.

I hope though that with the burden of bringing up the ball and distributing it around is already off his shoulders because CP3 is already task to do that, we can see more of him performing as a legit superstar come playoff time.

Can't believe what I am seeing, The Lakers are dominating the Hawks, I would say IT was the right fit for the team.
You have to believe with what you have seen. The game ended with a score of 104-123 in favor of Los Angeles Lakers.

Congrats to the Lakers, hope they'll reach the playoffs and surprise people.
Its going to be a long run for them if you are wishing them luck to reach the playoffs but the ball is round so everything can happen inside the court.

The number of assist can really tell that they are all playing the right ball movement, they are rotating the ball and they are playing like a real team.
Congrats to the Lakers, hope they'll reach the playoffs and surprise people.

Houston has a 6.00 odds to win the championship!
I'm defiantly putting $200 on that. And for the east, I got Toronto. Sorry LeFlop.
Good luck with that bet.

They are having a very hard time of getting a win again. They should do something not only with their line up but they need to practice more.
Seems the one man team can't do it pretty well.

That's correct the cavaliers need to start spending big and probably land another superstar because James seems to be doing it all and he's gradually running out of steam and age isn't on his side either so they really need to beef up the squad now else they might probably not make it to the finals any longer.

I couldn't agree more they really need to get their shit together and bounce back strongly because they are not pulling at all and with a couple more of these mediocre performances and they will be out of the finals this year but majority of us wants to see them in another final with GSW so they really need to bounce back now after these series of defeats.

Jimmy Butler is out with a knee injury against Harden and his fellow Rockets.
Timerwolves are going to suffer even more without their star player on offense and who knows for how long. Undecided

Houston has won 11 straight games? Shocked
Unreal stats so they are the team to beat for the remaining games left in the season.

I say they have the momentum going on the last remaining games of the regular season. But when playoff comes, all teams are even. Just sad to see Jimmy Butler suffer a injury close to the playoffs and I hope that he can still play. But I'm sure it will have a big impact on the team because we all know that he is one of the offensive player. T'wolves will need to step up the plate if Jimmy will be out for the rest of the season.
Oh he will it is just a meniscus tear and the time table given to him says that he can play in as early as 4 weeks. The injury would have derail the Timberwolves growth  in terms of polishing up their game but the important thing here is nothing serious had happened to Jimmy Butler. I just hope that the Timberwolves will hold up the games without him. Andrew Wiggins better step up his game and proved haters wrong about him being a boring player. It is just too much hate going home for him, having a few good games will shut them up.

Correct, I read that he suffered a meniscus tear and he needs at least 4 weeks to recover from it. But I think that's long enough to stop their momentum right now. The team has been enjoying their best season yet, but Jimmy's injury will have a big impact on them specially that the playoffs is just around the corner.

Andrew Wiggins for sure will again take the lead but I just hope that it is enough to carry Wolves on his shoulder. Others should step up as well and waited it out till Jimmy's return on the line up.
