Great win by the Minnesota Timberwolves again if it wasn't for Jimmy Butler's hassle plays the Phoenix Suns will have won against them again. Erasing a 22 point lead after the 1st half you know that the Timberwolves always get a little bit careless when they reach a double digit lead. The bad thing about the game is that only 4 benches of the Timberwolves played that Shabazz Muhammad and Cole Aldrich are being paid just to be in the bench which Aldrich is having one of the most overpaid contracts out their 7,000,000$ for a bench not being used.

It was a balance attack from the Timberwolves but we all know that Jimmy Butler's heroic effort made them win. Ugly lost for the Phoenix Suns though, they have the lead only to be erased by Minnesota. Just notice though that this is likely a trend for the last couple of games. Teams have huge lead in the 1st and 2nd quarter, only to be erased by the opposing team down the fourth and to top it all, they lost at the end. Maybe there's a lot of good teams, but they just melt under the pressure when the other teams are coming back.
it's been great to see Jimmy is getting his name more credits it will surely help him making it tontge all star again. It doesn’t mean anything for team success but it’s great that he should get rewarded playing in this market . There is something worries me in xmas. Lakers have improved a lot recently they even almost got the  win over the GSW and actually won over Rockets. If we show up and get a good win they still somewhat away from making it to play offs they just need to win the close ones also a winning streak will help a lot then they will get the credit they deserve
We always need to giver it to Jimmy Butler I mean he is really the veteran all-star in the team, don't get me wrong Jeff Teague is also an all-star but Butler is the one who needs to be handling the ball and scoring buckets on crucial plays. He has now surpassed Karl-Anthony Town on being the lead scorer of the team which is also good. The team has improved a lot since the addition of the veterans Taj Gibson is helping Towns and Jamal Crawford is helping the bench a really good team. Before even the season started many have predicted that we will be in the 5th place in the Western Conference giving Oklahoma City Thunder the 4th Place, well look at where the Thunders are now.

Tomorrow is Christmas so we have some quite interesting matches.
For me, the most interesting is repetition of last season's finale, match between Warriors and Cavaliers.
Too bad Curry is missing it...

Other very interesting match is between Thunders and Rockets.
I read that Paul will miss it. What a shame! We won't be able to see real power of Rockets and Warriors.
That would be nice if you are a bettor, you do not need to enjoy the game you just have to find the real value.
Thunder are a very inconsistent team so I will not touch this game despite they are playing the Rockets who has been struggling because of injury problem, the real value I see is in the cavaliers, if curry is not their, the offense of the warriors will be limited and the cavaliers who's playing a defensive game will win this game easy.

I think cavs win. No green and no curry.

Also I wish Paul was playing then I'd say Houston wins. Thunder have been waking up lately with improved play
They also need Capela to play because without the presence of Capela inside the paint, Westbrook will just run the ball and made some easy baskets. Rockets are good and they have proven it by their long winning streak but it's necessary to balance the offense and defense and in this scenario they need a big guy who help them a lot reach their position now.

To their credit, the Phoenix Suns fought really hard in the 3rd quarter, with Troy Daniels and T.J. Warren helping them to close the gap. But unfortunately their performance was not good enough against Jimmy Butler & Co. Phoenix Suns are now in the 13th position and only the Memphis Grizzlies and the useless Dallas Mavericks are behind them.

In other new other news Phoenix Suns waived point guard Mike James, I don't know what is the reason why they have to waived Mike James when he can make clutches. Like what happened in his last game between the Memphis Grizzlies.

Check this full highlight of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgGKsrXeNPo

Edit: Sorry that is Troy Daniels three point clutch.

What Lebron James is doing in his 15th season at the age of 33 is not normal :

- 28.4 points per game = highest scoring rate since 2010 ..
- 9.2 Assists = Best number in his career ..
- 8.2 rebounds = second highest rate in his career ..
- 57% registration rate = highest percentage in his career ..
- 41.1% Threes ratio = highest percentage in his career (better than Currie and Harden this season) ..
- 78% rate of registration of free throws = highest percentage in his career ..

Without forgetting his high fitness, thus we estimate that the king remains king until the 40 !
So what are you trying to say? Cleveland Cavaliers will win this 2018 NBA Season? Those are stat, remember Lebron James also averaging that stat last year but see what happen? They lost the Championship. For me even Lebron James doing that monster Stat, they well not even go in the East Conference Semi-Finals.

I am speaking for the individual output, for example James Harden :
The beard continues to play the melodies of fun and creativity : 51 points against the Clypers two days before and 51 points against the Lakers also to become the first player to score +50 points in two consecutive games since 2007 when the legendary Kobe Bryant on 4 consecutive occasions. Excellent season for James Harden until now despite the last two losses after he became the first player to reach 1000 points.

Houston Rockets' 14 win streak ended few days ago after they lost to the Lakers. Today they'll face the Clippers some of their key players are still out. Will take the Rockets -12  I know they won't lose twice at home and I don't see the Clippers keeping the margin below single digit.

Other bets that I have are : Knicks +6.5 and Hawks+10.5 the odds of all my bets are somewhere between 1.8-1.9.

Well they lost against the Clippers too. They played without CP3 or Capela but Harden managed to score 51 points. It was a tough loss, EG and Anderson really need to step up if they'd wanna contend for the finals.
Two straight loses for the Rockets, not good for them, they are supposed to be the number 1 because they are stronger this year
but it's the warriors who stay strong despite curry was injured.

The two losses had Harden display 50+ point outings, too bad the surrounding cast weren't there to step up. The losses seemed to expose the Rocket's weakness when Capela isn't around. I hope they'll find their tempo and get back to winning games soon.
They need to improve their line up, Paul and Capela are prone to injury so they need someone who can fill the slot and perform well when they are not around. I like Harden because he is clutch but with pressure defense his explosiveness in offense won't work, like what we have witnessed in the past.

Today i'll take the Warriors -7.5 with a slightly higher juice @ 1.8/-120. I'm relying more on luck because no Curry and this Denver team haven't lost by more than 8pts on their last 5 away games against decent teams like the Celtics and OKC. On the bright side the Nuggets have a 35% cover rate as an away team.
GSW lose by 15 points. Its been their worst shooting for this season. Lowest points, shooting %, 3 pt shooting % all being the lowest this season. I am sure the free throw % must be one of the lowest too. Sad game really. You dont expect warriors to play this bad. Scoring just 81 points to an average Nuggets lineup. Nuggets have been a kryptonite to the Warriors. They beat Warriors last year too.

And that is home-court advantage for Golden State Warriors. But probably they also lose because of Stephen Curry absence. I'm pretty sure that if Stephen Curry played that match, well definitely Denver Nuggets has no chance winning that game. Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson has no chemistry at all.

They loss today against the Nuggets and I was surprise because it was a low scoring game, there is a reason why the line go down, I think they need some rest because they keep winning on the road and maybe they got tired. They will be facing the Cavaliers in the next game with one day rest, still playing without curry and the cavaliers are looking for revenge this time, line was down from opening, -7.5 to -5, I think I'll go with the Cavs ML here.

Even though Lebron James is the best, he cant do it all on his own but with the recent additions to the squad i will not surprised if they managed to win it this year. I am looking forward to their games against the GSW and see how they fare against them because they are likely to be their opponents this time again.
yep he still got it in his hands I hope the rumors are true that Rockets pursuing him in free agency the problem that he stated before he wouldn't sign anything less then his max and Rockets can't give him that but they can give him the a better chance for the title with Harden and Chris Paul rockets could defeat GSW LeBron need take much less than max he is a smart guy and he knows it is about winning trophy's. What he said before in 2014 can't work for him now if he wants to make it 4 NBA championship he have to take to match big Shaq record on that one.

The thing with that is Lebron wants total control over the teams he's in. That's the reason why Kyrie left. Harden and CP3 won't like that too, plus, the Rockets can't afford him unless he'll be like Durant who's paid less.
