I seriously thought that Cavs were going to lose that game with the Suns last night.
It was going to be Golden state just the night all over again being up 20 points just to lose it in the end. But it did not happen. Lebron kicked it up and closed the door on any sort of come back.
That's what makes Lebron James better than the entire Steph Curry team. Warriors are good at the start of the game but in crucial situation, you can always rely on Lebron James. But that's fine, the game is very entertaining actually since young guns of Phoenix suns have stepped up.

Meanwhile, seems like the bulls are not competing well against the thunder, they are down big now going to the fourth quarter, I hope they'll bounce again.
They don't have a reliable finisher like you mentioned that the cavaliers have in lebron james or Kyrie Irving and the warriors have with steph curry or klay thompson. The bulls just don't have that. You know how many times I have watched a bulls game and see Jimmy butler and Dwyane Wade not being able to close it out like the above mentioned? Too many to count really.
And it looks like the same thing happened in the windy city tonight when they went against the thunder.Lips sealed

Interesting theory, I think it's not that they don't reliable finishers, they do have them but not at big stages. Durant, Curry and Thompson are capable of winning many games and even series by themselves but they've failed to prove themselves at the big stage. Durant with OKC multiple times (even back against Miami) and GSW to a lesser extent since they did win the trophy (with the Cavs missing two stars...).

There's currently an identity crisis on who (either Curry or Durant) should be shooting or taking charge in the final minutes. Both score a lot in the final quarter but neither one of them is known as a clutch player like Irving or even Lillard. I think to win that title they will have to prove it against the Cavs in this year finals (or other team).

If not, critics and sports media will have some new targets the way Lebron was before winning his first championship with Miami. I would argue that the media didn't stop criticizing him until he won with Cleveland last year, now he ascended to another level.
Winning a championship gives you confidence but until Durant have one, he will not get the confidence like Lebron had. At this point, we can't tell that the warriors are still the same dangerous team as before or even better as what everyone as expecting, hence they are called as a super team.

I know it's still to early to say but the way they play it does not show the Dominance we are expecting. Honestly, their big problem this season is their BENCH. Angry

Atlanta Hawks Vs Brooklyn Nets

Hawks are on a six games winning streak and it should be an easy win for them against Nets which has the worst defense in NBA. Although the Nets are playing at home, it shows how poor their form is when they can't even win against 76ers at home. I predict this game will be a blowout for Hawks and my bet is on Hawks to win their handicap of -7.
I sure hope you are right because I am putting them in a parlay because I see your prediction on them to own them tonight with over 7 points.
I am putting them with those not so good bulls and the rockets to win with over 220.5 points tonight.
So don't fail me with these predictions. Wink

The Hawks were once a becoming a legit contender, a few seasons back. I don't really understand why didn't they just held on to their players and build a core on them instead of giving up their key guys.

They are already a good team and with their players they are hoping for each others game play and they don't have to build a core, they are already the core. Hawks are totally one of the teams that I've been seeing to play good on this league. I will go for Hawks since Nets is still just like not that built up and still on the process of familiarization with their teammates.
its seems that -8.5 for handicap also have a good chance hawks really a big contender for this season if they will play as solid as they can
the only matter right now they are playing inside the nets court and sometimes teams played well when they are playing in front of their
fans.

I thought they are gonna make miracles again in the fourth quarter but the Thunder is just too much for them tonight, not even a fun game to watch as the Bulls are trailing all the time until the end. One factor maybe that affect the whole performance of the bulls this game is because of Jimmy Butlers lack of contribution, he only manage to make 1 point in the game, so it's bad.
same thing happen with knicks the absence of rose lacks them to fight back with new orleans melo and porzingis didn't step up to cover rose place jimmy butler really didn't showcase his talent even wade almost try hard to win against okc but kanter and adams uses their heights and control the inside game.

Golden State Warriors Vs Sacramento Kings

I have a shock when I watched Warriors surrendering a 24 point lead against the Grizzlies at home. Warriors never lost two games in a row so I am quite certain that they will win this game.
Kings offense depends on Cousins while Warriors have a few key players to score points. I am going for Warriors -11 as Kings aren't as good as the Grizzlies to overturn any deficit.

Yeah they will not allow Kings to make their standing ruined by losing against their team. And with this game, the advantage will be with Kings.

But that doesn't matter because I'm pretty sure that the Dub Nation is hungry for their win and this game will make a revenge game.

And that's why I'll go for GSW for this game too.
The warriors can win and it will most likely to happen, however with the line of -11 makes me a little bit skeptical to take it. I believe this team is already exposed and the Kings are playing at home which are hungry for a win due to two straight loses at home.

If you see their previous 10 games match up, the warriors dominated the king with 10-0 record but the line does not convince me so much. Having said that, I'll go with the King +11, and a little bit for ML.

I'll go with Kings also if it is with +11 but if that is just a normal game without those handicap/odds. Since I'm always having a bet game with my colleague in my work, so I'll go for Golden State Warriors. We are not setting some rules every time we met and bet for a match. I'll go for $100 for this game because the advantage is always with me, he let's me choose my betting team.  Grin
What advantage you have is only the home court, but in terms of talent, the warriors has all that, there's a reason why they are called a super team.  I think the safer play would be betting on the Warriors Moneyline, you get small winning but at least your a little bit safer on that bet.

I told that I'll go with Kings with the +11 not with the home court advantage. Maybe sometimes I'm preferring the team who has home court advantage but not with this time. But with my situation, of course talents and with good players are key to win a match. And I can see that with Golden State Warriors for this game.

So if you go with Kings with that +11 probably you are not going  to lose or win either because the ended 117 GSW vs. 106 Kings.

And if you bet with your colleague, then you surely won $100 already. Golden state is always a good choice, their winning ratio and game play is really good for gambling.

Oh yea, $100 is sweet as cotton candy it's funny seeing his face giving me the money equivalent to that amount. And I knew it that Golden State Warriors will win that game either because of they play style and even Kings lose still they played did very well to face GSW. And now we are looking for this game, Pelicans vs Knicks. Any fast thoughts?
Well knicks will be a good one to pick mate as we knew that this team always surprise us i always place my bet with them feom time to time just wants to see melo and rose to play their role to win this game. Good luck

Hmmm, looking upon their standings they are both on the same #11 spot. Since Melo and Rose are good players and has been performing well for this season and as well as from past seasons. But players of Pelicans are also tough enough to face Knicks' Melo and Rose. They have their Davis and other of their key players like Frazier.

Just cant believed that blazers loses the game today after showing a good fight with two ot lilard seems to be not in a good shape in the last dying minutes if he took that shot maybe chances to win is much bigger but mcCollum took it and missed. I'll be chasing and review the game to tom maybe luck will on my side hehe.
They lose by 1 point but I won my bet with over 111 total points for Blazers, thanks to the double OT it makes my day. The game was close and like the previous match, they do it wire to wire and in the end the Detroit Pistons got lucky in the game.
Congratulations to you mate, you still manage to make it a break even day. It was already expected that the Blazers will win but the Pistons are just so hungry and it's just a timing that they are lucky also. Tomorrow will surely be a good day for you.
