Everyone is trying to get better, as I have said, the Rockets are in a winning streak and chasing them out of the last spot. Celtics are cruising in the East, but the West still anything goes, Clippers will have to win as well to gain home court advantage and so are other teams.

The Rockets have really shocked me with how well they played this year.  I had them figured to be one of the worst teams in the league and they've shown that isn't the case.  They probably should have been so they could rebuild, but you have to love that they didn't and instead gave it their all.  I don't think they have any chance of getting out of the first round of the playoffs, but they honestly had no business getting that far.

Warriors do look like they may have some trouble and if they do not end up doing better then they are going to end up missing the playoffs. To be fair they are at a stage where they could start being bad too, people are expecting way too much from them. Imagine a team that is doing this much, it is really important to realize that you are not going to end up with anything that would be crazy, it should be as normal as it gets and not have anything that will change in the end.

They are in trouble right now, their game against the Wolves is very important and they let that one slip away. Obviously it will put a lot of pressures from them to win their next game otherwise another L and a win by the Rockets will give them the same record and there are a lot of remaining games that might change and switch their position.

I hope that people could see that possibility as important, and we are not going to get anything marginal out of this. I hope to get it made one way or another, and should consider the fact that we are going to get something good from other teams being better.

Crazy stats for Anthony Davis 36 points and 16 rebounds, he dominated the painted area and underneath the rim, that is where he got most of his points.


This is the kind of AD that we like to see in the playoffs, seems like they'll make it to the playoffs as they'll likely win the play-in in case they'll not hit the number 6 rank. It was a high scoring game, fast pace and the 3 point shooting is very accurate, 50% for Indiana while 48% for the Lakers.

We also have to notice Dinwiddie as he had some great game here, 26 points from 8-11 shooting is pretty much impressive.

Can't wait to see this team in the play-offs and I know it will happen so I'm backing them all their remaining games.

As long as he is healthy, he could dominate anyone inside the paint, even against the best in the NBA right now, Jokic, Giannis and a healthy Joel Embiid. Dinwiddie also has a great games with the Lakers, now he shows his offense, unlike in the other games wherein it was his defense that shines.

For the Warriors, I do agree, the dynasty is over now. And if by chance, they won't make it to the play-in if they continue on a losing streak. While the Rockets are also not assured of the last spot, they are doing good going into the last stretch of the regular season.

Nah, the Warriors dynasty are long gone. Their small ball play don't work anymore. Now, they are on the brink of being eliminated even in the play-in tournament. The Rockets are red hot winning 9 of their last 10 games and now they are on 8-game winning streak, while the Warriors are on a 2-game losing streak. The Rockets could've surely make it if Sengun wasn't injured, but I also think they can actually make it to the play-in this year. The Warriors have a tough schedule ahead that could potentially extend the number of losses.
The Lakers on the other hand may have already secured their spot in the play-in after winning 3 consecutive games and established a comfortable lead ahead the Warriors in the 9th seed.
Well, I'm a Warrior fan, and I will also say that the dynasty is over already.

The dynasty gave the Warriors 4 titles so, I guess that's a huge achievement for them already. Small ball set-up still works, but with the current rosters of the team today, it's hard, and the Warriors had a small line-up, but their offense is one of the best a few years ago, and Green is their best defender at that time, and he's an excellent defender of the paint that's why it worked for them.

Currently, the remaining games of the Rockets are somewhat better than that of the Warriors, and as much as I want the Warriors to at least stay on that 10th spot, it seems like their chances of staying on that spot is slowly withering away, and the Rockets are coming to take it. Right now, the Rockets have the momentum with their winning streak while the Warriors on the other hand, is on a losing streak. I hope that they will recover from this slump, and gain some momentum again with only 12 games remaining.

Offensive battle, LA LAkers versus the Indiana Pacers. What a score! That almost went to 300 points total. 5 points shy.
And because of that, the stats of every player are filled. And thanks to that I won this.

Crazy stats for Anthony Davis 36 points and 16 rebounds, he dominated the painted area and underneath the rim, that is where he got most of his points.

Even with monster stats of Lakers including AD it’s really surprising to see that score of Pacers is just 5 points lower than Laker.


It is kind of frustrating that the Lakers just won by 5 points. They had a big lead; I think it was around the 3rd quarter when they subbed Bron out. I actually did not watch the game after that since I knew it would be a sure win for the Lakers because they had a big lead. Then hours passed when I saw the result: the Lakers just won by 5 points. It is one of the Lakers issues that they should fix, especially since playoffs are near and teams are unpredictable when playoffs come. But anyways, it was still a good game for the Lakers, as 5 Lakers scored in double digits and 4 of them scored 25+ points, and this is the first time the Lakers scored 150 in a single game after many years!

I hope they can continue this pace, win the play-in games, and be tough in the playoffs.

Pacers score aside from Siakam is just below 20 points that shows a team effort to counter the aggression of Lakers star line-up monster performance. This all the Lakers get with that AD total control on the paint.

Haliburton just score 12 that shows how important to create a play instead of personal stats just to win the game.

Nice win on your bet with that long betbuilder bet.

But the Pacers also have Siakam who had been phenomenal in 3-point plays using the attack on the paint.
Still, the Lakers won the game, and that made their standing get near the Dallas Mavericks. 39 wins for the Lakers, and 41 for the Mavs. The Lakers would need to win every possible game that they can.

The Warriors on the other hand sure played well in the first half but Naz Reid kept on countering them with his precise 3-point shooting. If not for him it could've been a blowout game because Antman cannot find rhythm early in the game. Wolves won at the end of regulation.

Lots of games left and there would be a lot of changes to happen that's why we cannot be so sure on the result since there might be changes to happen on top 9 and 10 on standing. But we can say that rockets still kicking since they are doing an impressive performance and there's huge chance that they can replace the 10th seed on the west which is the struggling Warriors. If they can able to win 2 more games for sure they have good chance to enter on play in. Don't know what happen to Warriors this season and it seems their current rotation is not effective anymore so maybe they need to change their strategy since they always got defeated nor struggle each game they played. A lot still believe that Warriors can get into the playoffs but I think the chances for that to happen is so low now that they losing and that can affect their morale.

I guess I know what is the problem with the Warriors. They should sit CP3, or just limit his minutes because he isn't helping a lot. He still has the passing ability and a little bit of shooting but he is a big liability in defense. I'm sure a lot of us here remember that the Warriors were on winning streak when CP3 was sitting, so he should start sitting now as they can't afford to experience another loss.

Although the game between the wolves was close, they had a good lead but allowed the home team to cover and that they loss in the  4th quarter.

They are not the same anymore because there are player/s in the team that just live on his name but not on his actual contributio.
Just like uncle drew said " he got a million dollar move but 50 cents finish".. LOL

There chances are getting slim, how many games we have left? 12-13? If they don't start winning and then the Houston Rockets continues with their winning streak. It might be over for the Warriors this season. And that experiment of having 30+ big 3 or big 4 if we wanted to call it with CP3, it's not working for the Warriors.

And they should have peaked as we close down the regular season, but the 2 weeks of March was brutal to them, Curry misses some games and they continue to struggle against top and defensive team. Houston though also had a tough schedule in their last games left so it will be interesting to see them playing great specially if they are teh underdogs.

They've got a good lead during the first half but the home team made a comeback rally in the 2nd half and take another home win, I agree with your observation, CP3 still have his skills but in terms of defense with taller and quicker players he became a liability, bringing him and Curry together is a risk that the oppossing team may take advantage, though they can guard up but the 2nd chance points that where the competition, Gobert take that advantage as he has a double- double performances here.

No offense with CP3 the chance of having a ring with the Warriors might be too far or the chance is slim, as even the play-in is not secure yet, Rockets is shadowing them and the chance of snatching the last spot can happen.

As for the Rockets, they are continuing their winning streak, and looking at their remaining games, most of them are against bottom teams already compare to the Warriors that has a harder schedule than them. TBH, I'm thinking that the Rockets might end up getting that 10th spot or even the 9th if they continue to play like this. Surprisingly, they are doing this without Sengun. I guess it's a blessing in disguise for the team because players like Jalen Green and others are stepping up, still fighting for that play-in spot.
It is indeed very surprising that they are doing this without Sengun. I find it almost incredible that how these players are playing now, compare to 1-2 months ago or even last year. It almost seems like something magical has happened. That being said, they were up against some relatively easy teams and managed to got the Ws but they are in the mood now, they will probably continue having a streak. They play with a different tactic without Sengun, which is very normal. There is only one reason for their new success, and that is that they started to made threes. Last month they shot so badly that it was very difficult for them to win games in the nba.
Will based on my observation most of those team they defeated in last 10 games are not even making playoffs or even make play-in tournament this year and should they really win against that team (Jazz, Portland, Spurs and Wizzard). Even they're close to Warriors for able to play play-in tournament still for me they will not making this play-in tournament this year. And I think these last 12 games only 3 games of them will win for Rockets.
Still plenty of games to be played mate. Anything can happen, the Warriors, Lakers and the Rockets, they are close to each other but it's also possible tha teams above them might drop in ranking. The Warriors really struggled, I mean they loss again the Wolves, their 4th quarter was bad and Klay could not sink the game tying game. Timberwolves are just too good this season, they loss KAT but they are still rolling.

The Warriors? I guess I like to bet on them to make it to the playoffs, if there's an odds, I like to see. Also, I checked the championships odds in the last few days and I see the Warriors having an odds of x45, guess it's very attractive, what do you think?

Let me check the odds for yah.. Here (https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/basketball/usa/nba/nba-23-24-6490d1eb11281ad1f2fbdce3).. you can see that it's already at x46.. it has increase by 1 after that loss probably. Now is the time to bet on the Warriors if we feel confident they are gonna win the NBA Finals.

Aside from the Warriors, I also love the Maverics to win the title with x31 currently. They are just a great team now, I have nothing to say against their performance and I liked them more because they are healthy.

Rockets are likely to make the play-in anyway, Warriors will be out. The Warriors can win very few of their remaining games. The interesting thing is that the Mavericks are very decisive here. Both teams will play the Mavericks twice. The Rockets and Warriors also play each other. It's almost certain that the Rockets will pass the Warriors.
They win with VanVleet and Green without Şengün. Jeff Green is also making the maximum contribution from the bench. We've watched so many Rockets games this season that we have memorized the team's game. They found a way to win even without Şengün. 8 wins in a row is a great achievement and it will probably continue.
I agree, Rockets has a easy sailing in their last games or so, unless they suddenly went cold. But I doubt it, they have the momentum now, playing great without Sengun and everyone in the floor wanted to contributed. As compare to the Warriors, in which their age as showing in the 82 grueling seasons game. Klay is underperforming, Curry's average points per game is going down, chemistry is not working well. And right now the Warriors are trailing the Wolves in the last minutes of the 4th quarter. Everything looks doom for the Warriors now.

That being said, they were up against some relatively easy teams and managed to got the Ws but they are in the mood now, they will probably continue having a streak. They play with a different tactic without Sengun, which is very normal. There is only one reason for their new success, and that is that they started to made threes. Last month they shot so badly that it was very difficult for them to win games in the nba.

Rockets are likely to make the play-in anyway, Warriors will be out. The Warriors can win very few of their remaining games. The interesting thing is that the Mavericks are very decisive here. Both teams will play the Mavericks twice. The Rockets and Warriors also play each other. It's almost certain that the Rockets will pass the Warriors.
They win with VanVleet and Green without Şengün. Jeff Green is also making the maximum contribution from the bench. We've watched so many Rockets games this season that we have memorized the team's game. They found a way to win even without Şengün. 8 wins in a row is a great achievement and it will probably continue.

As for the Rockets, they are continuing their winning streak, and looking at their remaining games, most of them are against bottom teams already compare to the Warriors that has a harder schedule than them. TBH, I'm thinking that the Rockets might end up getting that 10th spot or even the 9th if they continue to play like this. Surprisingly, they are doing this without Sengun. I guess it's a blessing in disguise for the team because players like Jalen Green and others are stepping up, still fighting for that play-in spot.

If that is the case, then good for the Rockets to move up in 10th place and go for a play-in. At least it will be a great opportunity for the young team. Jalen Green has been playing great in their winning streak and becoming the new leader as far as scoring goes.

There were even memes of him that he became Michael Jordan when he is ordered to pay for child support, Lol.

But let's see how the Warriors will respond, if they didn't make it to the 10th and fight for a slot in a the playoff, there could be big changes for them next season.
