Philly is really missing Embiid. The way the Warriors have been playing I was afraid to put any money behind them. Interestingly enough Andrew Wiggins led the team in scoring tonight. That seems unusual.

The Pelicans are starting to blowout the Clippers right now. Not good for me since I picked the Clippers to win.

If Embiid can't return for the season, it might very safe to say their season is pretty much over, Tyrese Maxey sure as hell can't carry this team by himself. And as for the Warriors a good vintage Andrew Wiggins surely is one of the recipe they need for stretch to get it right and at least try to make a good run for the season!

Clippers are clawing their way back gradually here in the 2nd Quarter, the lead has been cut to a single digit 8 points lead, with less than a minute for the 1st half. Clippers still have their finger prints on this and it is still pretty much within reach. However, an healthy New Orleans Pelicans roster will be a force to reckon with come the post season!

I guess Wiggins is ready to make a case for himself so he won't get traded.
As I said before, not a fan of trading discussions about him. He still got a lot of potential and a good contract, no need to panic and put him on the trade block.
And about Embiid, I am with you of course. If he is out the season is over. They are missing so many points and rebounds with him off the field, they can't recover from that.

I do agree but maybe the Warriors are looking for his performance from last season and the current one, as he is inconsistent, and not reliable anymore just like when he start his year with the Warriors and then becoming a All-Star for the first time and winning a ring with them.

But I guess there is also the case for Klay Thompson, bad season for him, same with Wiggins. If only this two, can bring their A-game again in the second half of the season and not rely to Steph, in even scoring 60 points and still take a big L, it could be a different Warriors, and not a below .500 team.

Maxey has some good games and leading the 76ers without Joel Embiid. But I think it will be not enough for top teams as they can easily lock him up and it will make it difficult to look for another options. There is Harris, but then again, same case with Maxey, he is guardable and any good perimeter defender can stop him. So yeah, if Joel will not be back after the All Star Break, it might be over for the 76ers this season.

Tired legs for the Clippers, low scoring game that really favored the Pels. No one even scored 20+ for the Clippers, while the Pelicans had Zion and CJ 46 points between them and add Ingram to the equation and some role players, Pelicans winning by 10+ points.

Sure when he is out Maxey can up his point considerably but obviously that wouldn't be enough to lift the 76ers on a contender level. Without their MVP they can be happy to survive the first round.

Yeah, but this is just one game that we have seen Wiggins played good and led the team in scoring. Just imagine though the duo of Wiggins and Kuminga if they can just be better just like what they used in the previous years, the Warriors could still be a contender to this year.

It's just that Joel is not in the middle, their main offensive weapon, take him out then the 76ers will have a problem to any team that they will face moving forward. Unfortunately, in this game, the Warriors took it to them and they don't have the answer for that fluid defense. They did a great defense on Curry, but as we have seen, suddenly Wiggins wake up in the year 2021-2022 season version of him.

Scottie Barnes and Trae Young are picked for All-Star game. They replace injured players Julius Randle and Joel Embiid.
Speaking of Scottie Barnes, look at that shot: https://twitter.com/WinkyChrist/status/1755415488132419586

Watching Sixers - Warriors game, first half was balanced but Warriors made 20 points difference in third quarter and close to win the game. Jaden Springer locked Curry in first half. It was first time since 2018 Curry couldn't score from the field in a half.

But Golden State has a huge lead in the game, down 5 minutes and I think it's pick up basketball from now on. Just a matter on what will be the final score.

I had them at -3.5 at halftime, and I have a good chance that it might hit and give me the Dubs.

And there was a meme right now that when Wiggins heard that he was about to be traded for Bobby Portis, he scored 21 points in this game in 23 minutes, Lol. Steph with 9 points, I think it could have broken his record for scoring double digits, not sure how long it is.

Congratulations bro, nice catch there, you win. And so did I. Wink

It ended in a blowout and I think that Steve Kerr is satisfied with their performance today. It's an Embid-less 76ers so it is a must-win for the Golden State Warriors. A win on the road will probably lift the spirits of their players.
Jonathan Kuminga was very helpful again on both ends of the floor.
Regarding Wiggins, he was known as an inconsistent player even on his Timberwolves days. I thought that changed last year but here we go again. But I do believe he is growing, now is focusing more on rebounds and I think that will be good for the team. But still, they need that offensive power that he has and the talent to help spread the floor for Steph and Klay to do their thing.
With their bench stepping up their games, I think the Warriors are still solid although inconsistent.

Their next stop will be against the Indiana Pacers tomorrow. It will be a battle of speed, they will need their defenders to do a good job at defending the fast players of the Pacers.

LA Clippers vs New Orleans Pelicans up next. This will be tough for the Clippers as they are fatigue. I hope they win.

If D'lo is leaving, which I would say could be a mistake for Lakers since he is one of the few that actually scores aside from the big two, then I would say it has to be for a decent defensive shooter. Lakers do not really have a team that can be changed within a few trades, they really need an overhaul of player changes, I would keep Lebron and AD, hell I would maybe not keep AD as well if there is a good offer, and I would trade everyone else away. I do not see one player that can't be traded for the right sum in that team. D'lo has to be exchanged for someone who would have a good defense, and a good shooting, that's what they need desperately and if they are not getting that, then I don't know what they can get.

Earlier, there were rumors that the Lakers were interested in Dejounte Murray, and, as far as I know, they wanted to include Russell in the deal. However, Russell's performances have been surprisingly good lately, and that makes it less likely that the Lakers will decide to trade him.
In fact, the only problem with Russell is that he's unstable in terms of his performance throughout the regular season.

Keep your eye on D'Angelo Russell for a possible move tonight. They're keeping him out of practice and out of tomorrow's game with the excuse that he had a "tune up" on Tuesday. I'm not sure what that means and it seems like an odd way to bounce around the subject. If he received treatment, it seems like they could have just said what treatment he received, but the tune up comment struck me as weird. Maybe nothing, but when a player was seen crying on the bench last week, is out of practice this week and won't be playing in a game on the trade deadline, the rumors are going to swirl...

I also saw that the Bucks must sign him, and waive Thanasis which is very funny, but kind of true. Just so you know, Tony Snell has a career where he just went "cardio" for 20+ minutes. No statsat all, and the only thing he did was run on the court. Cheesy

. Thanasis? What is he doing on the league? He isn't even playing, and the team don't need him aside from him being a cheerleader for his younger brother. Cheesy

Haha, Thanasis our guy.

They've been in losing streak when the change of coach has happened. He's the million dollar guy that's hired to hire his brother. But seriously, he's drafted first by the New York Knicks so maybe he's really got the talent but then Bucks just seen better deal with him.

He's expensive personal body guard of Giannis and I'm sure that Bucks is so ready to get rid of him but they can't do anything since he's under protection of their star brother which they can't afford to lose.

Nah, I don't think that the Bucks is in a way or close of disposing him. They won't get rid of him as he's like the assurance of Giannis staying with them.

Despite that there are rumors about Giannis want to get out of the Bucks but I am sure that he will always be included with their deal and that's why they're not going to get rid of him.

Quote from: ultrloa on February 06, 2024, 05:35:21 PM

Also I think he will not drafted if his not a good player maybe he just need a break to show his talent and capabilities to help the team that's why if they need additional help maybe its better for bucks to used him or try to develop so that they get something from him. If they let him sit on bench I think nothing will happen and they just waste their money for him. Much better find solution to their struggle since for now they can't do good decision regarding to that issue so they can perform well this season.

Yeah, he was drafted by the Knicks and that means that he has seen something with the team. Now, although a lot of funny moments have been made against him.

It's just so hard to resist those contents that made fun of him.

Looks like the trades may be heating up as we approach the deadline. The first major trade I've heard so far is the Sacramento Kings and Portland Trail Blazers. This trade is apparently not official yet, but expected to be before the trade deadline. The Trail Blazers are giving up Jerami Grant for Harrison Barnes, Trey Lyles, and a pick. I think this is good for both teams. The Kings get younger and more talented, Portland gets to dump salary after the season and pick up another draft pick. It makes sense for both teams. The big loser I guess is Harrison Barnes, who might get bought out at the end of the year and find himself out of the NBA.

Doc Rivers is still riding that Celtics title, with 3 hall of famers, maybe even four if Rondo gets there, seems a little bit tough for him to be HOF to be fair, but it looked like he would be. I think it is clear that Celtics team was stacked and of course they did alright. With a very on fire Ray Allen (who won with Lebron later on as well) KG and Pierce, it is really obvious that they would win, they could have lost as well but the difference maker wasn't Doc.

Ever since that year, he has been going from team to team around the league and failing, he has never won anything ever, the way he handled Sixers job was good enough for me to consider him not a great coach to be fair, and I think it has to be something that would not be easy.

Yep, looks like Doc got exposed. He wasn't really the difference maker on the Celtics team.
Maybe if someone else's coached that Celtic team better than Doc, they could've won more than just 1 championship.

I think we all sort of knew that already. The underperformance he presided over in Los Angeles as his Lob City Clippers failed to make any meaningful runs in the playoffs still is shocking to me. How he managed to fail so badly with Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, and Jamal Crawford is still a mystery to me. Those guys should have easily been able to win a title, or at least made it to the Western Conference Finals every year. He'll never have a better team than that, so I'm doubtful he'll be back coaching in the Finals ever again.

Agreed if there were any Clippers team that was destined to win it was that one. I think over a certain time span the only one with more regular season games was golden state. They just couldn't get over the hump. With that being said Jamal was one of my favorite knicks ever. His handles were insane and so underrated.

Thanasis clearly isn't an NBA caliber player.

I think Thanasis could be a competitive player in the NBA, but it seems like he's not really trying or wanting to be. I wouldn't be surprised if he's happy with his current position on the team because all he has to do is attend workouts, and for that, he gets a couple of million dollars and a season ticket to a bench seat at courtside as well. That sounds like a dream job. Grin

I also get the idea from the clips I've watch. All the acting he does trying to sell a foul and the reaction he gives shows that he's not that serious. It seems to me that he's accepted that he's not going to be as good as his brother so he makes some funny moves whenever he's on the court.

Nah, that man is just trying stay relevant to the team and so he's acting like a stupid idiot without him noticing it lol. I didn't even notice him being on the team until I've watched tons of videos circulating around the social media about him trying to stay relevant. That flop and that fake retaliation when Giannis almost got into a fight, that so stupid. He's not getting any better unless he will be on the other team separately with Giannis.

I'm thinking of betting on the Bucks tomorrow. Perhaps they were able to rest after that loss to the Jazz, it was a disappointing loss because they ran out of gas in the 4th quarter, so Giannis will find a way to bounce back and get a win.

Moneyline,
Suns - 1.62
Bucks - 2.36

That's a good one for you. It's rare to see Bucks as underdog like that with Giannis playing.

They were the underdog because they have been struggling recently, and much worst is that Lillard wasn't playing that game. The line was +6, it doesn't matter as they still lose. Suns on the roll, I lose my bet.

I don't see anyone from the Suns team can stop Giannis in the paint, for the Suns to win, they need to keep their 3 point shooting at a high level which I believe the Bucks knows how to limit them on that area.

Are the Bucks that good at defending now? They are probably just at the same level on defense so it will come down to scoring more. I bet both teams will score at least 110 points.

Giannis was unstoppable still but he could not get some support from his teammates, sometimes he'll get doubled or even triple, so he needs to pass the ball but the receiver can't shoot it. And this one was also a problem.

This is the first game where I felt like things might be coming together for the Suns. I didn’t expect them to beat the Bucks but they seemed to dominate even though the Bucks were hurting a bit. The loss of
Middleton is a big one. I hope he’s back to 100% by playoff time. I haven’t heard the results of his injury yet but he’s got some time to recover.

I'm thinking of betting on the Bucks tomorrow. Perhaps they were able to rest after that loss to the Jazz, it was a disappointing loss because they ran out of gas in the 4th quarter, so Giannis will find a way to bounce back and get a win.

Moneyline,
Suns - 1.62
Bucks - 2.36

That's a good one for you. It's rare to see Bucks as underdog like that with Giannis playing.
