Nike just released this new Kyrie Iriving commercial that is funny. New Kyrie Irving Nike Commercial with Rob Gronkowski and Jason Tatum 2017
Yes they are in the bottom of standings and that's something that's really making the Lakers fan disappointed. Their era might be gone for today and other teams are starting to accelerate on this season but I'm counting on them for the next seasons if they do something to improve their gameplay and roster.
It was expected by many so those dissapointed Lakers fan really just can't accept the reality. Upon entering the season, they should already accept that Lakers have a slight chance in entering this season's playoffs. The good thing here is, they can used this season to test up what things need to be fixed.
Still there are lots of games remaining and lots of surprises will happened on the way of Lakers journey this season. Lakers roster must used this season as an opportunity to show what they really have. There is no pressure at all chasing playoffs spot.
There's nothing they can do now but with what you said, I had to agree with you. Testing some strategies on this season and that's the only thing they can do for now. They can't commit some strategies if they'll aim for some win now but rather to test anything on their 2019 plans.
And also there are rumors that some of the caliber players will be targeted by Lakers after this season (or maybe there is a current talk now to some players). I just don't know who will be put on trading list since Im fine with the current Lakers starters that composed of literally young players. I will give 2 to 3 years for this franchise and they will put a highlight again at playoffs.
Lakers is rich so they can surely attract free agent players with big name. But they have to sacrifice some of their main role players and future picks which is expected everytime there is a big trade. Just don't know if it will be a direct trade or Lakers will used a 3 team deal.
Paul George admitted that he really wants to play on Lakers so maybe the management will consider this on their future decision.

Sad. I like to risk some money for the upcoming Warriors vs Mavericks game but I saw Mavericks odds for ML is not that worth to risks. I though it will going to be @5 above lol.
Well I don't know but I really like to put money on Mavericks ML everytime they are underdog as long as the odds is good. Just being a fan of them since 2002 lol. I nailed it sometimes that's why I like to risk.

My vote has gone with the majority as well...Golden state warriors i my pick as well to win this season of NBA.Yes this team has the potential to win but there is another reason for my pick.I have always gone against them in my betting and most the time is lost.So this time i am going with them throughout and i hope this pays off

Nice game Houston Rockets vs Los Angeles Lakers. I thought that will be a losing streak for Rockets. Well I'm including LAL now in my lowest priority teams, they aren't impressive on this season maybe they can cope up on the next one.
Lakers are at the bottom of the Standings for the Western Conference and the worst part is that they dont even have a first round draft pick for then next Drafts. Its gonna be a terrible season and the next one for the Lakers unless they make trades and the trade turns out to be a gem like Isiah Thomas.It looks like Isaiah Thomas is returning tomorrow vs. Portland. Cleveland should win, but it will be interesting to see how many minutes Thomas plays.
Usually when a player is returning after a long rest due to injury he will be having a problem on his first game, he cannot blend easily with the team and that takes time, but I still believe if he will be given few minutes, the Cavaliers can easily win against the blazers who are on a back to back games.
Yes agree on some of the cases, but at the same time, there is a case where blending will easily be mixed even at the first game. Good examples are : Irving at Boston, Butler at Twolves, Oladipo at Pacers, Chris Paul at Rockets etc. The only problem at that IT's blending scenario is; IT is still not in 100% full recovery status so he will a undergo minute restriction. He always joined Cavaliers practice so I think he know what Lue system is.
Unfortunately he won't play against the Boston Celtics the other day.
Well if you're expecting the same it that led boston to an impressove finish last season, i don't think you'll get what you want. Same with kevon love during his time with the twolves. Some great players perform better on a certain system and i think it will take it some time to get used to playing on a stacked team
It looks like Isaiah Thomas is returning tomorrow vs. Portland. Cleveland should win, but it will be interesting to see how many minutes Thomas plays.
They should win but with their current form this past few games Blazers have a chance to win. Kevin Love is listed as questionable tonight and Lillard will be playing. I'm convinced to bet on the Blazers and take their spread against this shaky Cavs team. 8 points is huge and Cavs are still one of the worst teams for covering spread 2-15-1 after 18 matches.
Edit : Close match during the 1st half then Blazers started missing a lot of shots during the 4th where Cavs started pulling away and build a huge lead. Well played by the Cavs.

Tonight on programme is Bulls - Trail Blazers. Bulls might be little favorite in that match considering their winning streak at home(7), specially if Lillard won't be playing.
If Lillard won't be playing on this game that's a big advantage for the Bulls. They are not that getting favorites during this season but this has to be something another game. I'm taking a look on Trail Blazers game every time waiting for them to show and prove something that they can reach to the semi's - finals.
Even without him they still won. If I'm a person that's not watching too often NBA games, I won't recognize any of the players from Chicago Bulls. They need to some buff with their current roster although they have a big man Lopez.
I would still think that the Golden State Warriors are still the heavy favorites to win it all especially woth how the Cleveland cavaliers have proven to be very vulnerable and while Boston and some other trams show promise they are untested on this
They are heavy favorites and they are now the leading in their rankings on Western Conference. People are still in remembrance of the past seasons on how these two teams are beating each other. But now Warriors has gained their rankings after beating Houston Rockets and on how Rockets did lost from their past games. It looks like Isaiah Thomas is returning tomorrow vs. Portland. Cleveland should win, but it will be interesting to see how many minutes Thomas plays.

Blazers struggle when Lillard will not play and the bulls are looking to bounce back after a loss in their last game, although they loss against the Wizards but you can tell their scoring is more balance now which makes them more dangerous, with that said, I will put my bet for the Bulls tonight because although Blazers are a good road team which has a record of (10-7) but without their star player, it's hard for them to win against a surging bulls.I am very surprised to see them with above .500 record on the road thus far with out him in the line up.
His is their star player.
Raptors did the same thing with the Bucks tonight. Into OT but it looks like Derozen got them the points they needed to win by four points when I turned off the channel because there were in the dying seconds of the overtime extended period.
And with the Raptor's game. Demar Derozan scored a record high for him with 52 points only because it went into over.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have won back to back games on 2 consecutive days and that is against a blooming Indiana Pacers and the Los Angeles Lakers. But whats more amazing is that their game in Indiana they had a 17-0 runbon the 1st quarter holding them scoreless for almost half of the game. Their offensive plays are killing it even without Jeff Teague as their point guard. They better show some consistency in their upcoming games.

All attention should be on IT should he really play on the next games. Everyone is really waiting to see how he blends with Cavaliers. However, I believed what you have said, maybe the will be giving some playing time just to get a feel of the game and with his new team and see how his injuries heal as well. Will probably take some time. Nevertheless, I'm positive he will blend beautifully as well. And as far as their games against Blazers, yes, they have the advantage because of the back to back games by Blazers plus they are also missing some key players as well.
