No God or Kings, only BITCOIN.

Ok guys I changed the poll. Our new question is first team to get 20 wins. Which team do you think will achieve it?

Right now Celtics is leading with 14 wins, they only need 6 more. Magic and Bucks from the East, Timberwolves and Nuggets in the West have 13 wins each. Very close race is going on right now.

I actually wanted to vote for Magic considering they have the best matches to win over their opponents on their upcoming matches and they've got win streak but I'm doubtful that it may be broke and was tempted to go for the Bucks instead. Bucks has probably good upcoming matches too and Giannis was always on takeover mode. Celtics for me has tight matches to come and I'm doubtful about that.

I haven't look ahead at everyone in the lists schedule going forward, of course that would be the best way to go about deciding your answer for this question, but I would lean Boston not only because they have the most wins currently, but also because I just feel that they might be the most well rounded team in the NBA right now.

I like the Buck chances probably second most.

Impressive overall team performance by the Clippers' starters as they beat the Kings convincingly. Kahwi's 34 points with 66.7% shooting is efficient and that also comes with zero turnover. Harden's 26 points with 62.5% shooting is great as well but what impressed me more is his 5 steals in the game. He's like a different player seeing him intercept passes.

Consistency is the only question for Clippers now that they show their full potential. This was supposed to be expectation when Clippers acquired James Harden but the problem is maintaining this kind of performance to different team with better defense and offense.

Kings is a messed in today match since only Fox contributes to the game. Sabonis doesn’t have a good performance today that result weak defense and offense of Kings.

A little support from Fox's squad led to them losing the game, unlike with the Clippers, where we witnessed the actual expectation after
Acquiring Harden, with that level of support, Kawhi might lead them to something better.

Though as you mentioned consistency is what the team needs to keep the winning chances, without it they might lose momentum and
start another losing streak.

Great to see that they are doing well adjusting... they just need to keep that chemistry and the right set of players inside the court.

I choose Orlando Magic even though the Celtics have more experience in this kind of performance where they were top 1 in recent years because of the way their high chemistry and great play all the time. This time the Magic have the aspirations to get as many wins as they can to secure their place in the NBA playoffs this year and that could be the same reason for them to get the 20 wins before the Celtics. This is just a speculation from me but I am seriously rooting for them this year since they exhausted all efforts to be at this level right now.

They are shooting at a higher level while the Sacramento Kings had a bad start and it was to come back when the lead was deep.
James Harden, that's the classic one that we have seen a lot of times in his Houston Rockets and I missed it. Thankfully, he showed it today and that helped a lot to give the Clippers the W. What's more important is his 5 steals because they have been turning most of the Kings' turnovers into points. That's big considering Harden is not known for his defensive skills.

How about the Nuggets?
Jamal Murray is back and it made the Nuggets a better team. Rockets is surely strong but not today as they were defeated by a full cast of the Nuggets. Although Jamal Murray's minutes are restricted, he never wasted it, and every time he comes back in he will surely make a play or score for the team. Damn, I missed that guy too.
MPJ was affected by the energy of Jamal and scored 30 points with 7/12 beyond the arc. Wow! The Nuggets are back to being super again.

One of the reasons why the Kings lost to the Clippers is that before the match they already played really well against the Warriors (made comeback) and the Kings became tired battling the Clippers. Sabonis only played 4 minutes in the 4th quarter. By that time, the Clippers were already leading and things got worse when Sabonis joined the floor in the 4th quarter. You can see that they are really tired but at least Kings trying to comeback again but they can't.

I get what you're saying but not really an excuse for their loss since every team has their back to back games. If we're also going to use that argument then why Fox still had a monster game and he was pretty efficient too? I think Zubac did really good at controlling the inside even blocking Sabonis a couple of times.

We can always come up with an excuses if we think of it. A win by the Clippers here is considered a big win, they deserve the credit for their good game as they bounce back from a bad performance against a jokic-less Nuggets. Honestly, I thought the Clippers are not anymore into a high scoring game but this game they scored 131 points which is way high compared to their average, and if we review the stats, the big 3 (less westbrook) have been playing well, add Mann also who's been consistent so far.

Just look at the scoring and it seems that NOP is winning against the Sixers. They don't have Joel Embiid when I check it and it was only Maxey trying to be the next offensive guy. And since Joel is not in the middle, Zion is taking it inside and scoring big with 29 points entering the 4th quarter.

Good thing that I stay away from betting on this game, didn't read that Joel is not playing or at least questionable in this game.

So it spared me some money and maybe I will just have to take it tomorrow and bet maybe live when I have the time. It's really hard to pre-bet without knowing who's playing and who's not.

I think 76ers are one of the most inconsistent teams in NBA right now because you simply cannot have awesome performances and then awful ones ...so with or without Embiid , this team is super far away from achieving anything special anytime soon in NBA and I'm glad Pelicans saw this in 76ers and immediately took over the game and won it.

Funny or not , Clippers won but this team is capable of doing big damage to important teams and I won't be surprised if they will start a winning streak soon. Grin

We are all surprise by the Magic's run, but let's see if they can sustain this run or not. As the Bucks and the Sixers are just behind them.

Currently behind Boston and has a chance to be on the number 1 spot if the win streak will continue.

Currently they are on a 8 win streak, while the longest win streak in the history of this team is 9, which were on the following seasons.

1 2010-11
2 2000-01
3 1994-95

So once they break that longest win streak, they'll make a history. And judging by their next scheduled games, they'll be up against the Wizards on their next at home, (will tie if they win), next is on the road against the Cavaliers (will make history if they win).

I voted for the Boston Celtics, seem to be they are one of those teams that are really consistent right now. With Brown and Tatum as their leading offensive weapons, and the the rest just jiving in the right now.

Even KP seems to be back in his prime, unlike when he plays with the Denver and Wizards team. Right now he moves differently, maybe he fells that he is on the right team right now and their chances are very high again to be in the top of the East.

Cool! We're the first three to cast votes. I also voted for Boston. When it's about consistency in the regular season, it's always Boston and Milwaukee in my head but I just feel like the former is the better team. Lillard is a good addition to Milwaukee but Boston letting go of their noisy talkative players that are sometimes seen as leaders was a good decision. Tatum and Brown are very good team players and have no ego which allowed their new roster to progress.

I'm surprised that Magic is on the list and even on the second choice. I just noticed them. They're second in the eastern conference with a huge 8-game winning streak.

I always think about Boston will go first since they are consistent so far in this season also the addition of Holiday is really creating some good impact to their current roster that's why they became more lethal this season.
Also although they let go of those guys still they get good result for acquiring a good player and that paid off since they are the current top team in the east.

Yeah, I think they still have that momentum from last year, although it's a total different team right now, but with the addition of Porzingis and Holiday, they become one of the best team right now. And I consider Brown and Tatum as the best duo in the league. They really know their role and no one overpower the other. If Tatum has the best game then Brown is just on the side letting Tatum took over and vice versa.

So my vote goes to them as well.

We are all surprise by the Magic's run, but let's see if they can sustain this run or not. As the Bucks and the Sixers are just behind them.

And that's what we should be expecting from James Harden, quality minutes with good contributions. So not surprise that they are the favorites in this game if I remember it correctly. The Kings back to back games and having to overcome the Warriors in their home court. Russell Westbrook almost had another triple double 9, 8, 5 in just 19 minutes, that's impressive. For the Kings though, it was just Aaron Fox again, with 40 big points, but there's no support from other players who did contribute in their big win against the Warriors. Most probably they are really tired going into this game.

A Healthy Zion, Ingram, CJ and Valančiūnas all the positions that will be covered, they just need to work as one and create a good blend of game plays.

If the Pelicans' core players are healthy, that makes them a really strong team that could pose a serious challenge to other top teams, especially in the playoffs. But at the same time, I am still skeptical about the Pelicans' performance this season because players like Zion are too injury-prone, and there is no certainty that he will be able to perform the entire regular season without getting another serious injury before the playoffs.

They are healthy now, but it seems like they have having problem recently as domonstrated but their inconsistency. As we all know, they are currently at the number 8 spot with 10-9 wins, this stats aren't too impressive. But anyway, as long as Zion is playing with the team, I guess they'll be fun to watch especially if this season Zion will last and finish the playoffs, that sure thing is a big achievement on their part knowing how "injury-prone" is Zion.

Further, I notice that Zion's stats drop a bit this season, probably he was adviced not to be over aggressive so he'll stay healthy for a longer period.
