great performance in the night for S.Curry with 44 points 6 rebounds and 10 assists and an incredible 8/11 by 3 points. Golden state won against the tough Los Angeles Clippers 134-127.
Great play for Stephen Curry so this is the usual Steph that we are waiting for. I'm not a fan of him but when he's showing great performances, I'm always amazed. LAC may lost to this game but they are also a tough team to consider.
Cleveland is a team under construction and in fact lost 110-103 against Washington. Cleveland is likely to lose other positions in his conference.
1 more lose and they are tied up with the ranking with Washington or if Wizards will against Hornets, they might go to the 3rd spot.

Oklahoma won against Sacramento 110-107 with the usual triple-double of Westbrook (18th in this season).
Oklahoma is fighting for third place!

Really  tough lost for the Los Angeles Clippers, they claw backed and closed the deficit by 2 in the last two minutes. But then Stephen went hot, hitting back to back 3's to give them enough breathing room. Klay started hot, and then Curry finishes it. It worth to note that Klay became the 10th player in Golden State's franchise to score 10,000, what an achievement. They will host Oklahoma next, and I'm sure that they are looking to avenge their earlier lost. Tough lost for the Kings though as Russ hits the winning 3 point at the buzzer to capped another triple-double.

Curry with his amazing 3's, I'm sure  a lots of fans again celebrating this wonderful game from him, too bad I did some parlay for both cavs and gsw for
ML, but it's okay I know cavs still in the process while gsw seems to showcase more entertaining games ahead.

West really the home of the champ by now, warriors, rockets, and thunders are showing their own ways of reaching the finals and its really exciting to see
if who will be the final four from this side of the league.

Another spectacle night by Stephen Curry but it is not a blow out loss by The Clippers anyway. For sure going into the playoffs, Golden State Warriors will need to ride the momentum of their Big 4 specially Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry. GSW fan here.  Smiley

I've seen a facebook post about Klay Thompson the first player wearing GSW uniform reached out 10,000 points. I tried to google it but nothing is appearing.
Is that a fake news or a real one? Any source? or that is an outdated one?

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver recently announced a proposal where the 16 teams would be one single playoffs match regardless of the conferences. Yes, a new playoffs format where 16 teams will be bracketed at each other.

What does this mean?

E.g. Let's say top seed would be Warriors, they will be matched on the team that will take the last playoffs spot. So the format will now be, 1 vs 16 , 2 vs 15, 3 vs 14 and so on...

Unfair or will be fair? My thoughts is, just leave the Playoffs format on what it is today.
I don't like the proposal, the current system is working well and this already brings a lot of fun to us lovers of this game.
The East and West should be highlight and they should meet in the Finals so they can bring a lot of fun.
Is he also the one who changes the All Star format?

The All-Star proposal was made by NBA and the players itself. Im not sure who is behind the original idea but after some talks, NBA made it official as NBA players lead by Chris Paul agreed also with the proposal.

Talking with the new proposal for playoffs format, lots of East teams will surely can't sealed a playoffs spots as we all know that sometimes, the record for 8th spot on the West can be placed at 4th spot on the East.

Let's wait for some feedbacks on the players regarding this. As far as reports is concerned, only LeBron James currently gave a feedback about it.

If implemented, weaker teams will forced themselves to acquired and market at least 1 superstar in their roster but for that to happened they must matched the offer of other teams including matching the offer of those big teams unless that player itself will commit to that said team.

Majority of top 16 will surely on the West and it's kinda an easy road for the top seed on advancing the second round as they will faced the weaker team and Im sure that will be on the East.


And I doubt those teams at below can provide a huge contract offer for that superstar. Some teams at the bottom of standing is experiencing a detoriation of their ticket sales due to low record. But as you mentioned, if that superstar will commit playing at that team then there will be no problem.

And yes, let's say Golden State Warriors or Houston Rockets will be the top seed, they will faced the 8th spot on the East on which way more incompentent than the 8th spot on the East. There is no difficult road at all. But let's see some details about this later on once it will become trending.

Well i won't say it's "fair" since the top four teams would more than likely steamroll over their opponents but the middle matchups would probably more evenly matched. I agree than it wouls probably favor western teams to advance especially if they face a weaker eastern team
So what is the purpose of having a conference for? Looking at the new format I think it will be easier for people to do the things they like. Teams who aim to be tanking will have an easier way to do it as they are only for the lowest winning record which they could achieve on a Top 16 Playoff format. This format will also be bad for the low seeded teams as they are facing a top seeded team, it will mean a walk in the park for them as the difference will be big as they will be overpowered.
It seems to me an interesting idea to play the best team in the regular season against the worst (1 vs 16, 2 vs 15, 3 vs 14 and so on).
Indeed perhaps it is time to eliminate the 2 conferences and only do 1 standings for the regular season.
The Western Conference in recent years has always had more strong teams than the Eastern conference.
With a unique standings these disparities are definitively eliminated.

I agree. Just leave with the current format, Winner of East, gets the winner of the West. And I don't think it will pull enough upset, unlike the other format of 1 vs 8, 2 vs 7 wherein the 8 and 7 seed have the possibility to pull something unexpected again a format of 1 vs 16 in which the 16 seed will not have a chance because of he huge disparity against the top seeded. Yes, its really unfair and sort of boring as well to watch. IMHO.

I am excited for tomorrow's game, I hope there will be surprises like what happen last year.
Cavaliers is back in action again, I think I am gonna be laying on them as they are hot as of the moment, -5.5 can be easily covered
if they win because they are playing at home and they are better offensively and defensively against the Wizards.

I think it is almost impossible for Cleveland to win the Eastern Conference, the Gap is too high to be recovered in 25 games. But if Cleveland is in good shape and will find the right solutions can safely win against Boston and Toronto at the Playoffs.
There's no need to race for the #1 rankings, they can still get into the playoffs if they are qualified. The matches will be tough but if they are lucky and they are playing very well, they deserve the spot to the next level but they can't belittle those board leaders now. Raptors and Celtics are improved now and I'm surprised that the Raptors managed to lead the Eastern Conference.

We can easily predict the champion for this year. That will be the Golden State Warriors. The only thing that can beat them for now are injuries. If one of the BIG 4 goes down (Steph,Klay,Draymond,Durant), I think the other team has a better chance of winning. Once they pass Houston in the playoffs the only question now is who will be their contenders for the 2018 NBA Finals. Probably the Cavs or Boston. Any of the two looks exciting but we all know the results. GSW will win the finals again. Im a Cavs fan btw. So no bias on this post.

No bias? But you said it will be an easy win for the Golden State Warriors? lol.

There is no easy road to finals. Don't underestimate other teams. Golden State Warriors really has a high chance of getting the championship but I will not take it as an easy one. Just because they are perfect like you are describing them means the road for them is not that difficulty. Even a die hard GSW fan will not have a statement like that.

lol. Looks like he's really confident that GSW is going to win the crown for this year. I agree its not gonna be easy, a lot of teams have upgraded and are doing good like Houston. The Rockets is just one team that can compete and give them hard time but I'm sure that it going to be tough. 2015-2016 was a sure win for them of 73-9 record in regular seasons, and up 3-1 in the finals against the Cavs. But they eventually lost. So we cannot say for certain who will win this year.
