Warriors guard Shaun Livingston hit his first three of the season Wednesday night vs. Phoenix and it was an amazing one because it was actually a bad lob that hit the glass and turned into a basket for mighty Golden State.

For the record, Livingston has only made 13 three-pointers in his NBA career. Teammate Stephen Curry made 13 in a game vs. New Orleans last November.
He has not been able to develop an outside shot over the course of his career, partly maybe due to the injuries that could have kept him from playing years ago. Although Livingston doesn't really shoot much from the 3 point distance, he has proven to be a valuable player off the bench for the Warriors over the last three seasons.

Philadelphia 76ers 90 - 102 Chicago Bulls
Orlando Magic 115 - 107 Brooklyn Nets
Indiana Pacers 104 - 89 Milwaukee Bucks
New York Knicks 103 - 106 Washington Wizards
Atlanta Hawks 123 - 116 Boston Celtics
Portland Trail Blazers 105 - 98 Minnesota Timberwolves


Cleveland Cavaliers 00:30 Atlanta Hawks
Toronto Raptors 00:30 Miami Heat
Memphis Grizzlies 01:00 New York Knicks
Houston Rockets 01:00 Detroit Pistons
Dallas Mavericks 00:30 San Antonio Spurs
Denver Nuggets 02:00 New Orleans Pelicans
Utah Jazz 02:00 Minnesota Timberwolves
Phoenix Suns 03:00 Oklahoma City Thunder
L.A. Lakers 03:30 Sacramento Kings
Brooklyn Nets 22:00 Chicago Bulls


Western Conference:

important victory for Portland in the night, has now virtually a lead of two games over Denver

here is the draw almost sure of playoffs:
Golden State(1) vs Portland (Cool
San Antonio (2) vs Memphis (7)
Houston (3) vs Oklahoma (6)  The most interesting match with Westbrook against Harden
Utah (4) vs L.A. Clippers (5)


Eastern Conference:

-Cleveland and Boston will come to the first and second place.
-Toronto and Washington are fighting for third place
-Atlanta,Milwaukee,Chicago,Indiana, Miami: 5 teams for 4 places to playoff

Indiana, Chicago and Milwaukee have an easy schedule. Miami is probably the underdog



If Portland will face GSW on first round of the Play-offs, I'm sure that they will be sweep. They never beat GSW on regular season plus Lillard play during play-offs was not as good when he is on the regular season. Just like his ay last year against clippers. They just beat them because griffin and paul suffers an injury. Denver might gave a good game to GSW once they made a slot on play-offs.

Yes, Golden State is in great shape with a series of 13 consecutive wins. I expect to win 4-0 against Portland.
it is too late to Denver to reach the playoffs:
Denver must win all the remaining  4 matches  of which 2 against Oklahoma.
Portland to qualify mathematically must win only two matches of 3. these 3 matches play them all at home.

Nice win for the TrailBlazers today, a revenge game with a win that make them stay in the playoff spot, they were down early but they fought back to win. Also, good contribution by Allen Crabbe with 25 points who is shooting 8/12 which is pretty impressive.

Though Nurkic is not there to play but their bench are contributing well and they deserve this win.
winning with a big difference blazers still fighting for their position for the playoff and they are really showing well even without Nurkic which they also getting good performance, if they continue playing big together with their bench big chances to compete into the next round.
I can't call it a revenge on a team who is actually trying to increase their draft position. The Timberwolves are not even trying to win when you actually watch their recent games. Let us put on a timeline I have notice the Wolves after the All-Star break  have tried hard to make it to the playoffs beating several playoff teams including the Golden State Warriors but the Denver Nugget's record is too far to be reached with a few games left. Now with Tom Thibodeau also being a President of Basketball Operation the most sound thing to do is purposely not to try win games to have a more valuable draft pick that can be use as a trade bait or who knows a gem of what's left in the Draft Pool

A lot of the players are stepping up just in time for the final push to get to the playoffs. Portland deserves to be in the playoffs with they way they have been playing, especially since acquiring Jusuf Nurkic before the trade deadline. Meanwhile, in the East, the dust has yet to settle and the fight for the 7th and 8th spots have been pretty intense with the Bulls, Heat, and Pacers are doing what they can to stay in the race.

I think Toronto Raptors will win today, even after yesterday's defeat. Detroit is losing game after game

The past games of Raptors looks good and I guess they will win against Detroit but still it will depend on the odds. And Detroits history looks bad and I bet that most of us will bet for Raptors for this game.

odds are almost even, 1.8 for Toronto, 2.02 for Detroit Pistons

dunno if is some trap or if some important player is missing for Toronto or coming back to Detroit

The raptors got this game but still it was a close fight against Pistons. Pistons was leading 5 points at 3:27 of 4th Quarter and I even though that it will be a straight lead until the end of the game but Raptors managed to cover their lead and was able to lead at 3 points. DeRozan played good for this game and contributed for their win.

Memphis Grizzlies 100 - 103 Oklahoma City Thunder



Russell Westbrook again performed exceptionally and his team wins. But this game was not enough to break Oscar Robertson's record anyway.

he was very unfortunate because it made 45 points, 10 assists and 9 rebounds! He had to do only one rebounds to beat the record of 8 consecutive triple doubles,
however he still has 4 games to surpass the record of 41 triple-doubles in 1 season.
I do think he will make it 44 just to solidify his dominance and quell the haters who have mocked and said he will not do it. He doesn't deserve this season's MVP and Harden from the Houston Rockets do?
I think if he does make it 44 triple doubles this season he is doing this out of defiance to those who didn't think he could do it.
It showed last night when he went into beast mode and just destroyed the OKC Thunder in the dying minutes of the game. When it only matters the most for a player to perform in the clutch to win games.

Westbrook was only short with one rebound but still good because they manage to win even on the road, that game was really intense as playoffs is on the air. Conley was out but still the Memphis still able to compete, I think the Memphis this season is not that good compared to the past, they are suppose to be a defensive team but this season they allow their opponent to score 100+ points while they are not really that good offensively, I guess the have to be back in their old ways as they are successful with that defensive style.

Hell yeah. It is almost 1 rebound but he fall short because he was very exhausted on the game. Having that stat on a close match is very energy consuming. Grizzlies are very strong team that's why he didn't his 41st triple double. This is just like waiting for the history to be written the book.

odds are almost even, 1.8 for Toronto, 2.02 for Detroit Pistons

dunno if is some trap or if some important player is missing for Toronto or coming back to Detroit
Toronto made me lose my ticket and even bet on them in live at half when they were 12 point up on the pacers. And I thought I had my parlay won with the other games. That was the lowest odds on the whole thing and it was 7.00 in total. That was just dumb of raptors to drop it to them in the second half.
I turned off my tv after seeing the three pointer Indiana made to make it 86-73 with 4:16 left.
That was the stupidest thing  I have even seen in my live.
And I have been losing my parlays when ever I put Toronto on my ticket since the post season last year.

Today was the opposite, they recovered from a double digits loss to a win in the 4th quarter

But what blow most people must be the Spurs losing to the Lakers at their own home. Odds for the lakers were near 10x before the game

Also two denied records today: Westbrook failed to make another turnover because of one rebound and the Spurs failed to accomplish another season with at least 60 wins

I don't see that Spurs really do their best, The performance of kahwi leonard on the was very poor, Far from what i have expected. Besides that Lakers really have a good game and they do there best just to win even though they are already out on play-offs. It is usual that underdogs team will defeat strong team because they guaranteed the spot on play-offs and they are avoiding any possible injuries before the play-offs.
