what a win from bulls, getting back behind 10points in the final quarter and the stars took charge fans really enjoyed watching rondo and butler
carrying their team, its so nice if they can play big like this from time to time still got some guts from rondo what a game.
Yeah good for them I thought they will never win that game because of the 10points spread hopefully the bulls will made it to the playoffs right now they are in #7 spot

While it is spectacular, we all know Rondo isn't capable of playing with others consistently. That guy has too much of a basketball IQ.

At this point the Timberwolves are doing a great thing losing games. You know why? Because there is no point of winning because there is literally no chance of making it to the playoffs what they need to do is to have a higher pick or good position in the lottery to have a chance of making it to the top 3. Hoping that in the next season we will make it to the playoffs for the first time.

They are not "throwing" games of course, it's just that this season was very complicated for the Cavs. The roster was again not properly get together with the losses of Delly and Mozgov. Again they had to bring in new players and while they did great in terms of getting the best talent for nothing (Korver, both D-Williams, Bogut and Sanders) they have failed to mesh with the rest so far.

On top of that there's certain some fatigue of having no real challenge until the NBA finals. I'm not saying the Cavs are in the NBA finals already, but that's what people expect. There's also the championship hangover factor. Plus some players are underperforming compared to last season to the point they are almost unplayable (Frye, Thompson, JR Smith).

With all that being said, if the Cavs have a couple of good games at the start of the playoffs and start gaining momentum when it actually counts then it will all be forgiven and forgotten. That's the bottomline.

Actually with this coming playoffs you're no longer sure. I believe the Celtics has a legitimate chance of upsetting the Cavs should they play the same level like they did this season, with the continuing 'woes' of the Cavs. Even the Raptors I suppose.

-In western Conference it seems all decided for playoffs:

the first round should be this:

Golden State vs Portland
San Antonio vs  Memphis
Houston vs Oklahoma
Utah Jazz vs Los Angeles Clippers


-In Eastern Conference:

fighting for first place Cleveland and Boston
fighting for third place Toronto and Washinghton
Atlanta and Milwaukee are almost certainly in the playoffs.

Miami, Indiana and Chicago are fighting for the last two useful places in the playoffs




Tops seeds in east are far from being decided. Boston has 48 wins, Cleveland has 47, the Wizards have 46 and Toronto 45. In theory any of them could be first, and Cleveland might get lower than second seed it they keep playing like they are now
its seems that they are just playing around might be a fixed speculation but its really bad for their fans, bulls can be easily beaten if they didn't choked out, its better to wait until the play off before betting again with that favored cavs.
I think they are playing bad to get easier 1st round draw. I know this is a far fetched conspiracy but thats what I think it is. The games from 2nd round of playoffs are going to be a lot more grueling so, I think Cavs are performing under par so that they can get weaker opposition in the first round so that they can give their star players some rest early on and get the bench fired up. Once the 7th and 8th place is decided, Cavs will make a move. They will certainly try to avoid the Heat as the Heat have found good results against the Cavs. With just 0.5 games behind, Cavs can take no 1 spot with ease.

I don't think they are "throwing" games to get a easy pass for  the second round. We know how Lebron James is very competitive, so he always there to win. I'm sure they will find a way to win and reclaim the no. 1 from Boston. We will see the true colors of Cavaliers once they are in the playoffs.


They are not "throwing" games of course, it's just that this season was very complicated for the Cavs. The roster was again not properly get together with the losses of Delly and Mozgov.

Phoenix Suns Vs Portland Trail Blazers

The Trail Blazers are in a row recently, winning their last 5 games even against in form Rockets at home. This time against the Suns, the Trail Blazers are huge favourites to win the game.
On the other hand, Suns are on a 10 game losing streak but they have scored a lot of points lately. This game will most likely be a shooting contest as Suns and Blazers don't defense are weak and both teams will try to outscore the other team to win the game. Expect a lot of points for both teams. I am going for over 221.5 points.
which is correct with these two teams they love to shoot the ball without hardening the defense for sure both stars coming from the competing team will showcase their shooting capability its also can be an easy game for blazers if they still chasing for more wins before the playoff.

Man, HOU is on a 3-game losing skid. Harden's wrist sure looks troubling, I hope they can recoup come playoff time. Same with the Cavs, if this goes on, there's gonna be no more competition to the West.

39th triple-double for Westbrook in 75 matches played with 35 points 12 assist , 15 rebounds.
Now it is just 2 triple-double from  record of Oscar Robertson, he has still 7 games.
Oklahoma has unfortunately wasted a lead of 21 points and lost against San Antonio.

Charlotte winning against Denver continues to hope to get into the playoffs, Denver is instead almost out.


Russ is definitely well within that record and with how he's playing there's a big chance that we may have the most triple double in nba history this season. Durant's absence forced westbrook to play video game basketball and it's really fun to watch every single night

I'm not impressed with the stats he is making if he cannot win games, the fact that he let it slip the 21 points lead that is not a good characteristics of a real MVP. Games are played like a team as in a real team, and the ear of Kobe is now done as good teams are now aiming to get better and they are move concern with championship rather than winning an individual award such as MVP.

They could possibly meet in the playoffs so I think the Thunder now should figure out how to adjust to beat the veteran Spurs team.

Houston Rockets Vs Golden State Warriors

I find it profitable to bet on under points for Warrors game as the percentage of going under is higher than average this season. Warriors defense is better than I thought. This makes it harder for their game to go reach over points. I am going to stick with the trend and bet on under 231 points for this game.
I will pick for under on this GSW game too using my brand new sports book and finally get some profit for this month. Wink
Upset bet of the day(more or less):

Oklahoma City thunder wins against Spurs. For some reason Oklahoma usually does great against big teams, specially Spurs, and get beaten by small teams.

Other good lines are Miami Heat, Pelicans(will be a funny game see DeMarcu's Cousins play against former team) and Boston Celtics
I watched the game where he was knocking out the guy who he was defending.
I think he even punched him in the balls in one sequence because he was so pissed off at him getting in his grill. Serves him right! Angry
But yes it will be fun to watch what he will do against his former team mates. He might even punch one of them in their stupid face for trading him like that. Cheesy

The OKC bet would have been great if you'd have bet on them to win the 1st qtr or half because, Spurs generally start off slow and in the end chase it down for a win. I've seen a lot recently from Spurs.  Warriors looked to be down for the most of the first 3 qtrs but something happened and they just clicked at the end of 3rd and then they just looked unstoppable from there. Rockets couldnt keep up the initiative. Great defense from the Warriors in the 4th qtr. Its really hard to keep Harden and co quite for the entire qtr. Rockets managed just 13 points in 4th.

Today I like Memphis.  Thunder.  Raptors. Charlotte and wizards

I can see them all winning
They didn't all won, what I hate to see what's happening today is the OKC Thunder blew a 20+ lead and lost by 5 points to the spurs. Damn, I thought it was already money but the Spurs came back in the 2nd half to take this game to Thunder. Again, westbrook made a tripple double but not an impressive shooting night for him, he cannot really beat an elite team alone, he needs back up from another superstar.

San Antonio vs  Memphis
Houston vs Oklahoma


Memphis is sometimes the kryptonite of San Antonio Spurs or in any team during the playoffs. They have known to upset teams, not just an average team but a dominant team during the playoffs match. But sadly, struggling to reached the conference finals.

Rockets and Thunders are alson one of the interesting match this playoffs. This is the best moment to prove who's the real MVP of this season, Harden or Westbrook.
