Good game by the Minnesota Timberwolves again, it has been a long time since I have seen a very impressive game the led as much as 30 points over the New Orleans Pelicans and that is without having Jeff Teague on the line up. The big 3 of the Timberwolves also have scored more than 20 points. Gorgui Dieng also put up a fantastic performance but the problem is he got a lot of fouls early on which some of them are clumsy calls made by the ref. Hoping that Tyus Jones use this time as a starter to show what he got for the team.

What is happening with Porzingis? He scored only 13 points against SAS, 16 against Wizards and 15 against Heat. That is pretty low considering his previous MVP games. Maybe it's nothing, maybe he just set scale too high.

This might because of his recently injury which is happen last November 2017 game between Miami Heat.

You can watch here what happen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaQBrjMV83M .
It will take time to heal that injury fully, and it's also important to get the confidence that he has when he was still shooting very well making 30+ points a game. Injury is really a big hindrance for success, there are some NBA players who were very good when they were still healthy but after injury they don't do well anymore, one big example is DRose, he was not able to get back to his old self anymore.

Is anyone a LA Clippers or GS Warriors fan? We have two tickets and a VIP parking pass available to their game next Wednesday at Oracle Arena.
NBA Tickets for Bitcoin - Clippers vs. Warriors on 1/10/2018 at 7:30 pm PST
I would think this sort of post should be in the marketplace under the goods section instead of the gambling thread.
This is for discussion on the games and not for selling tickets.
I would think that people would rather get their tickets from stubhub or ticketmaster anyways.
But that is besides the point.

Thanks for understanding.
I would love to watch but I am not in the US, lol,.. I really dream I can watch live games one day and right now I can still enjoy because
I can watch online and bet online at the same time, good match up, both good shooting team but warriors will win for sure.
Yes this will be a good matchup. We will share pictures of the game if these tickets do not sell. Warriors games are always fun to watch in person. If you get the chance to visit the US, then definitely attend an NBA game.

Thanks for the confidence boost. They did cover and win yesterday the Jazz kept things close until 1st half then Denver built a huge lead throughout 3rd quarter and win by double digits.

My pick for today would be the Pacers -5.5 vs Bulls. The Pacers are on a 5 losing streak at home this is not a good sign but those losses are without Oladipo. Today it's confirmed that he'll play against the Bulls this is a good opportunity to snap their streak and win so they could hold their spot at the 8th.

Consistency is important to this game to be called as MVP, with injuries maybe it has limit his performance but soon he will get
his confidence back and he can play like a real MVP, besides this kid is just too young, he can learn a lot and developed like a real star.

Curry missed the Christmas day game and haven't heard of him coming back to playing for the Golden State Warriors since.
Any word of when he will be fully recovered from that career ending injury since?
Steph is already back in good shape again since a week ago he made his return on December 31 against the Grizzlies and was unstoppable from the 3pt line.

Lost my LAC pick yesterday the match was close until OKC started to gain momentum at the start of the 4th quarter. Today my pick would be Denver Nuggets -6.5. Jazz are currently on a 6 losing streak on the road and Gobert not playing I feel Denver could win by 7 or more.
Denver can cover this for sure as they already loss a lots of games and play off are coming near so team would love to win by now, see how golden state showing winning streak, I wouldn't be surprise if most of the super teams will start winning their games now and start building strong position, so they wont be worried when the first round started. good luck to your pick mate and i will try ml for denver as well.

Looks like Golden State Warriors are back in the game specially that Stephen Curry is already back in the team. And yes, I hope that they can build a winning streak of their own. Sometimes team needed that to bring confidence to the players. However, I say that its still early to tell, there a a lot of super teams that are still trying to blend. I think the best barometer is after the all star break around February. It will be a test for the super teams if they can really deliver specially that teams will be jousting for playoff positions.

I try a good triple-up in Nba:

Oklahoma vs Milwaukee:
Oklahoma is in great shape (6 consecutive wins) and has already won 14 of 18 times al home.
WIN OKLAHOMA at [email protected]

Golden State vs Charlotte:
Golden State is the strongest teams in NBA. Charlotte has lost 12 of 14 times away.
WIN GOLDEN STATE at [email protected]

Chicago vs Indiana:
Chicago bulls is in great physical shape, in fact he has won the last 6 games played at home, and has won 9 matches of the last 11 played
WIN CHICAGO at [email protected]
Not a good day for you man, only the bulls won in your betslip, those favorites lose in the game especially the warriors whom I think will easily dominate the Charlotte Hornets, the warriors team are getting unpredictable now, they beat the cavaliers and now they were hammered by the Hornets at home.
I'm staying away from this team until curry will be back, they scoring is lowered now and they didn't win easily.

This is the last game that the Golden State Warriors will play without Curry. I feel you man, this should be an "easy game" for the Warriors however, they make a lot of turnovers which Charlotte capitalizes. It is me or others have noticed that Dwight Howard is really improving, he has putting a lot of good numbers, like 20, 10 per game. Most of us really thought that Howard's career is winding down, specially when he was traded by Houston. However, for me he found his home in Charlotte because of what he has been showing us, big numbers like he has been putting when he was with Orlando Magic. Let's see if Dwight can maintain again this high level of his performance, we all know as well that he has the tendency to be inconsistent most of times. If they make the playoffs, it will be a big test not just for him for for the team as well.

I know Isiah Thomas is ready to come back to play for the Cavaliers really soon if not already in their starting line up already.

We saw a Great game between warriors and the Houston rockets . KD didn't play this game but we saw Steph Cury and clay Thompson who show up and put magnificent shoots . I saw a Great them of Houston rockets tonight even if James harden didn't play . Huge performance from CP3 but still not enough to beet the warriors . They went out of gas in the last quarter and the 3 point shoots of Steph curry just finished the job . I still see the rockets a big threat to the warriors for the western conference finals because with James harden in the court the rockets will not be beaten easy . We will see what happens in the playoffs

I don't know what happened to the Houston Rockets during the last quarter. They were on level by the end of the 3rd quarter (90-90), but the Golden State Warriors won the 4th quarter (and the game) by 10 points. If I am not wrong, something similar happened during their last game as well (against Orlando Magic). During that game also the Rockets went out of gas in the 4th quarter (but still managed to win the game).

Golden State is really superior to the other teams! Golden State has won many matches without Curry and has now won without Durant against Houston. I would not be surprised if Golden State at the playoffs will win all 4-0 rounds! currently there is no team that can beat it

Yeah, they are the defending champs and with the core team still impact as compare to lets say Cavaliers who lost one of key players. And with Curry back in the roster, they are now proving why they are the champs last year. He even stole one from Dallas a couple of days with his deadly shooting back once again. Rockets on the other hand is very inconsistent, Harden has 50 point performance but lately the team is on a slump. As NBA experts here sees, it looks like they are running out of steam and can't close out games.

You should really not surprised by it because it was expected and they are currently the team to beat. Remember that last playoffs, they have no playoffs losses (from Round 1 to Conference Finals) (vs. Portland Trail Blazers @Round 1 , vs. Utah Jazz @Round 2, vs. San Antonio Spurs @Round 3) and only suffered one loss on NBA finals (against the Cleveland Cavaliers) on which can't be considered as part of playoffs round for me.

But we should take note that we can pinpoint it out now as chances that we might see changes to playoffs performance by other teams is always possible.

GSW is on a roll now since Curry went back on the game. He has shown some kind of second wind in his career and his shooting in really impeccable. As for Houston, yes, it looks like they are out of gas when its crunch time. How many games did they lost entering a lead in the fourth quarter but suddenly fading in the last minute? Their lost against Boston is one good example. I think they are still a team to beat in the Western Conference, but it they keep running out of gas in the fourth then chances are they will be in for a long series in they reach a playoff spot.
