Celtics has been looking like a team on a mission. I feel like if they keep this up, there isn't really any team that can stand on their way. Jokic or not, western conference do not look like they have anyone that can rival them.
Celtics and mainly Tatum trying to get that one ring finally so they can relax, look at Bucks, they did get the ring and now they are not caring about it all that much, even with Dame joining their team, they are just having that relief, Dame probably wants it more than anyone else, whereas Celtics never got one, and they are a very great team historically, so Tatum wants to win one for the team as well, they are so close, and they may get it this time around, otherwise nobody knows when is the next chance.

As expected Warriors were able to win against the Wizards, but they really gave huge stress to bettors, lol
The first two quarters were pretty neck and neck.
But the third quarter absolutely took the game away from the Wizards.
In the third quarter, the score was 17- 38 in favor of the Warriors. That was the game right there.
And even though in the final quarter, Wizards were able to perform well, actually Wizards looked really good in the final quarter, 25-37 in favor of the Wizards, they were still unable to win the game. Because the damage had already been done in the third quarter.
Warriors will play the Knicks in the next game. i think Knicks is in upperhand in this match.

The Warriors are the favorite in this game and I will say that you don't have to worry. I mean it's a 4 quarter games, so there will be times specially in the first half that it's going to be neck to neck games. But if you have followed the Warriors, they are usually a 3rd quarter team, meaning they really pour out everything in that quarter to make a separation and then continue their momentum in the last quarter. At least Klay Thompson, who is inconsistent this season, lead the Warriors and Chris Paul's comeback make a impact to the team. But I do agree, against the Knicks, they might have a hard time, and they will have to travel to Madison Square Garden and the Warriors are not known to be a road team.

Have you seen Josh Hart's bloodied nose after getting hit by Zion? Watch it here if you haven't seen it https://www.youtube.com/shorts/YiH7TP7hGxA
They guy was understandably mad at the ref when no foul was called. Nobody wants to be at the receiving end of that but it's clear that Zion got the ball first and then hit his face.

Zion is huge, he is a freak and we have seen that even in his high school days. It's too bad that Josh Hart was hit in the nose but I don't think it's intentional on the part of Zion as he is attempting to block the shot.
Luka Doncic has another monster game against the Cavs with 45 points and and 14 assists and just 1 shy of a rebound for another triple double.
But they have lost to the Cavs here.

Zion is a monster. You definitely don’t want to get hit by him. He’s playing again tonight on ESPN against the Pacers. The later game will also be a good one to watch. The battle of Los Angeles as the Clippers take on the Lakers. Hopefully we’ll get a look at a lot of superstars on national television tonight.

The Pistons managed to get themselves another win tonight against the Chicago Bulls. I believe that puts them at 9 wins on the season now. Still not great, but they’ve seen some improvement over the last couple of months. Looks like they are about to get themselves into double digit win territory, which is impressive given their start.
Yes, the Pistons have been so bad in the first half of this season that some fans even believed that the Pistons' long losing streak could extend until the end of the regular season. Some of them even placed bets on it. However, now the Pistons are tied with the Wizards in the Eastern Conference standings, and I think they can win at least 5 more games before the end of the season.
They had a bad season, but they are making a comeback now and have improved a bit. It's a learning experience for them, and I'm sure next season they'll come back strong and won't be the worst team again, or second to the worst. The win against the Bulls was huge; they already know how to play it right in clutch times. So, I'm looking forward to more wins from this underdog in their succeeding games.

Max Struss!!! Wow! A half-court buzzer-beater for the Cleveland Cavaliers to win the game. They depleted their timeout so there was not choice.
He was red hot! First, he made 3 consecutive three-pointers to delete the 10-point lead of the Mavericks. I bet he had a good morning and I am glad the Cavs saw that even though it happened at the end of the game. Great performance for the Cavs and just like I thought this game will be the most fun of all.
121-119. A big victory for them.

That would be a forever buzzer-beater highlight for decades in the future since that was really amazing since they were trailing by two points and there is no time left to shoot and they are also far away to shoot. That was amazing to watch and they were battling throughout the quarters until they reached to that point. We might probably see more such exciting games from him since that will gonna be the start of his chance to boost his fame if he can follow it up with another solid monster performance in their next games.
Lakers are a very dangerous team, especially when they are healthy. Their current struggles do not reflect their potential in the playoffs. With LeBron and AD on the team, I am confident that they'll perform well in the postseason.
The Warriors are getting stronger, but they were exposed by the Nuggets. The size difference remains a challenge for them, as evident in the last playoffs. While Curry and Thompson lead the team, Thompson's inconsistency makes it difficult to expect them to win another championship.
I don't really see the Lakers as dangerous.
There are plenty to teams ( Dallas, Minnesota, Denver, Clippers ) where the Lakers have no chance in a 7 game series, especially without home court advantage.
I mean when the best player is in retirement age, that says it all.
That's what I thought about this team last season because they ended up in the number 7 spot and beat the top teams to reach the WCF. Had anyone thought that the Lakers would win the in-season tournament? Nope, but they did, and not only did they win, but it was a very dominant win, exposing the inexperience of the Indiana Pacers.
Among the teams you've mentioned, I would count out Dallas and Minnesota as they haven't proven anything yet. Maybe Denver and the Clippers will beat the Lakers, but hopefully, they will not meet in the first round. That's just my thoughts, as the Lakers (LeBron and AD) experience will play a big role in the playoffs.

For sure a lot of bettors who use Mavs for their parlays are very upset from what happened, that's a half-court basket which is really unexpected by the Mavs and I see it right Luka is there to try to block the shot, I was in the impression that Mavs will manage to escape and win it but Strauss did not lose hope and throw that winning shot and snatch the game against the Mavs.

The Golden State Warriors also won their game against the Washington Wizards. It was not that much fun as most of the time the Wizards are behind. Well, it was so obvious as the Warriors are just too much for them.
The Orlando Magic is also winning with a large lead against the Brooklyn Nets. It's an early garbage time and it will end in a blowout.
Milwaukee Bucks seems to be also having an easy time to defeat the Charlotte Hornets, it might end up as a blowout too.

All those 3 games seems to be an easy win for the heavy favorites, Magic and Bucks dominated both their opponents while with the Warrior's side Wizard did attempt to rally back and cut the huge deficit but Warriors Managed to counter that and continue to have a double digit comfortable lead to win tha game.
Damn look at the score between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Charlotte Hornets. Is this a first in the history of the NBA? It's almost the end of the third quarter and the Charlotte Hornets have only scored 39 points (26 points in the 1st half). The Milwaukee Bucks are playing impressive defense today and the Charlotte Hornets are shooting bricks. I thought Charlotte really improved because they manage to get 4-0 after the trades. And look what they're doing now vs the Bucks. Lmao.
The game was a mismatch. The Bucks were able to dominate in the early quarters by huge margins that they can afford to rest Lillard and Giannis early. Milwaukee more than doubled the score of Charlotte in the first half. The total score of Charlotte would've been worser if the Bucks did not rest its main stars and continued the carnage.
Charlotte improved but the Bucks are also improving. It seems like the Milwaukee Bucks are back as a notorious team. Lillard is also producing quality numbers since the All Star break. So far Doc Rivers is now 3-0 since the long break.

The Knicks playing the second game of a home back to back and they are down a ton of guys. Harvesting is now out tonight so they are down to their 3rd string center. Knicks strong suit is their inside rebounding and they are underdogs by 6.5 to new Orleans. Going to be a tough game but this is where you make stands at this point in the season. Shame Knicks got riddled with injuries they were playing so well. Well let's see what they have in them.

Rough night for Haliburton on the Pacers. He shot 2/11 from the field on his way to a 9 point night in the loss against the Raptors. Social media is cooking him for some reason like this game means he fell off. It’s something to keep an eye on, but he’s a 20 year old kid so I think he’ll right the ship in no time.
People online are harsh, eh? Just 1 bad performance, and they will roast you like you are the reason why you lost in an NBA Finals game. It's like these NBA players will not have a bad night at some point in their career. I mean players will not always have good performances. This is just one of the bad nights he will have this season. I know that he will come back stronger after this disappointing loss.

But I don't think that the Lakers will give him that contract. They'd choose a younger superstar with that money and not with him although he has now became the face of the franchise.
I don't think that the Lakers will cooperate on this one.But I don't think that the Lakers will give him that contract. They'd choose a younger superstar with that money and not with him although he has now became the face of the franchise.
I did read the article, and it says there that his stance is different now. From "he wants to be on a team where my son is" stance to "I'm just happy if both of us will be in the league". Well, that's good to hear, but the question is "Will the Lakers agree with this 3-year 9-digit deal again?"
Sure, he's having some monster numbers still considering that he's 39 years old already, but I don't think that he still has enough gas to carry a team unless he has at least 2 superstars beside him that can help him. Like you said, the Lakers might opt to focus on their future considering that they have first-round picks rather than giving him a huge deal like this. If this is the case then, we might see Le-GM going to another team again.
Did someone posted this already about what's the desire of Lebron for his next contract with the Lakers? he's seeking to have 9 digit figures with multi-year with the team. I thought that he's about to retire and he just want to play with his kid for one season and that's done after that.

The difference that Embiid makes on the team is clear, but I confess that some players for example, Maxey, Oubre Jr., Hield and others has been performing well , but it is not necessary to reduce the difference that the Sixers are having in the last 10 games (3-7).
I confess that I was surprised by the performance of the Philadelphia 76ers playing against the Cavaliers, there were two games and in those games the Sixers beat the Cavs.
I'll be curious to see the Sixers vs Celtics game at TD Garden today.
That is literally what would have been expected of them, it doesn't feel like there would be anything that would be too major at the moment, it feels like it should not be all that crazy.I confess that I was surprised by the performance of the Philadelphia 76ers playing against the Cavaliers, there were two games and in those games the Sixers beat the Cavs.

This should be something that will take a while for them to recover from, but Embiid will come back next year, probably stronger than ever because he would be able to just purely train and train all the time instead of tiring himself at games so he could be much better next season and he was already pretty great this season. They need to find a lot better players to surround him, Embiid is great, and there are some cool few role players but the rest of the team is totally useless, they need to get a team and a system that works for them.

Regarding, Lakers vs Sun, you know Lakers had a lot of very important players missing from them in this game, but still, they performed well.
I know it was still not good enough from them because they were unable to win the game
I must admit Suns had a really good overall team performance in this game. On the other hand, the Lakers did not have much of a good performance if we compare with Sun. The Lakers had a lot of injury problems before this game. So I guess we could excuse them this game
Does anyone have any news on the injury of those players?
Lakers are a very dangerous team, especially when they are healthy. Their current struggles do not reflect their potential in the playoffs. With LeBron and AD on the team, I am confident that they'll perform well in the postseason.
The Warriors are getting stronger, but they were exposed by the Nuggets. The size difference remains a challenge for them, as evident in the last playoffs. While Curry and Thompson lead the team, Thompson's inconsistency makes it difficult to expect them to win another championship.

Yes, I actually also think that Lakers are dangerous. But when they have all the players available and healthy.
The problem is they are currently facing a big injury problem. A lot of important players including LeBron James is injured, I know LeBron is playing but I don't know how much he is fitted, cause his injury news is circulating here and there.
So right now it is hard for them to bring in good results. Just in this match against Phoenix Suns, I believe if they had all the players available, it would have been an easy win for them in this game.
