Great night for the Lakers and the brightest for Austin Reeves this season. I am more persuaded to keep Reaves on the team. Let him grow and exempt him from any bargains. Because Lakers officials desire to get new players to help Lebron and Davis.

I am happy that the Los Angeles Lakers squad was able to win without Davis and Lebron. But seriously, what a poor Celtics performance. Even though it is still the regular season, some fans will doubt the ability of Tatum and Brown to lead the team through difficult times.

There was no rumor that Reaves will be traded, in fact the rumor was they will keep him but will trade D'Lo. You can see the maturity in his game, he doesn't panic and make some fancy moves, he's just doing the basic and follow the coache's plays. I'm sure he wasn't included in the team USA roster if he doesn't have the potentila, this kid is still young, he improve his skills in LA, keeping him and giving him more time to improve, he'll become more consistent eventually in the future.

Indiana Pacers did great on the Haliburton minutes, but because he is restricted to 20+ minutes only, he didn't play the 4th quarter. They had a good lead on those moments until Jalen Brunson happened. A dominating game from the smallest player on the floor. 40 points to claim the win at their home. Knicks fans are all enjoying their comeback from behind. They never even had the lead for a long time.
No Randle, No OG Anunoby, no problem.
Rebounds are secured by Hartenstein and Precious Achuwa, they dominated that painted area and their offensive rebounds are 22 against 9 only of the Pacers.
Big step up from those two and that helped a lot to secure a win and continue their winning streak. This is a big win for them considering two of their stars are out. Brunson was emotional at the post-game interview.

Edit: The two above me wrote really fast. Grin

Nice!

Yes, specially Hartenstein, I read one article that teams really give up on him easily like the Clippers, thus he ended up with the Knicks. And the same feeling as the Knicks want him to be traded. But with the way he is playing, you can't deny that Hartenstein has some value in him. Not flashy, but gets the job time for them like in this game wherein he has a monster game as far as rebounds goes.

Precious Achuwa is also a good pick by the Knicks, he guarded Paskal Siakam like they are still in Toronto practicing as he has a steal, disrupt Siakam's rhythm as he knows his move and than offensive rebounds and a tap to give them 5 point lead and that is enough for a big morale boosting victory. And with that they are the hottest team in the NBA and it's hard to beat against them.

It wouldn't be a lie if I said Utah disappointed me. Philadelphia had lost 4 of its 5-game away series until the game against Utah. While the favorite was by far the Utah Jazz, Utah left their home arena with a 124-127 defeat.
Philadelphia is a team that is in the 5th place in the east, maybe better than Utah, but I was clearly saddened that Utah lost when their away record was so bad.
Another match that caught my attention is the match between Boston and Los Angeles Lakers.
When I looked at the betting odds before the match, the odds for Los Angeles to win were over 7.5. Boston was the favorite by far, but the result was not like that at all. I wanted to play against Los Angeles hoping to win, but I couldn't do it😔
If I had played, I would have made good money. Sometimes it is necessary to chase such surprising results.

That was an impressive win by Lakers without Bron and AD. Austin Reaves led his team one more time. Brown and Tatum were cold, Celtics played awful as a team and they have the right to play like that sometimes. This is a regular season game after all. Betting conspiracy theorists are already writing about this match though. Grin

Yeah, this result is insane.
I mean the Lakers had odds like 9:1 winning this game. They already would be a HUGE underdog if all players were healthy but winning without their 2 go to players makes this result even more crazy.
Didn't watch it and just looked at the box score and all I can see is terrible terrible shooting splits from Tatum and Brown, their 2 most important players.
Looking at the +- you can see that all starters of Boston had a minus up to -20 while every single bench player had a positive +-, maybe they should have played this game. Wink

This was only the 3rd home loss this season for Boston and against a struggling Lakers team without the 2 allstars this looks really off.

Like I said, I didn't watch the game but the yet again big gap at free throws for the Lakers 19/26 versus Boston's 7/7 really sticks out a bit.

Rockets got bigger now with this fresh news that came out.

Grizzlies trade Steven Adams to Rockets for Victor Oladipo, three second-round picks, per report

Quote

The Memphis Grizzlies have agreed to trade Steven Adams to the Houston Rockets in exchange for Victor Oladipo and three second-round picks, according to Adrian Wojnarowski. The Grizzlies will receive two 2024 second-round picks and one in 2025.

Adams has not played in over a full calendar year due to long-term knee problems. He last suited up on Jan. 22, 2023, and missed the remainder of last season with a PCL sprain in his right knee. He was expected to be back this season, but underwent season-ending surgery on his knee in October after non-operative rehab failed to resolve instability. At that time, the Grizzlies announced that he was expected to make a full recovery for the 2024-25 season.

Although Adams is not yet playing due to injury, but when he comes back, he'll be a big help for the team that has been doing pretty well this season. They need a big guy and Adams is just the right answer. So great news so far about the trade news.

Pretty crazy that Oladipo has turned into a salary dump piece for trades. People were talking about him like he was a top 10 player a couple years ago. Injuries must have taken their toll on him.

Yes, that injuries though, we've seen numerous star athletes down and comeback but it was a different version of them. But a prime Victor, 2017-2018, made 3rd Team All NBA.

2017-18 NBA Awards Voting: https://www.basketball-reference.com/awards/awards_2018.html. He was there amongst the elite.

I think Grizzlies think that Adams will not recover, great big man for Houston, one of the strongest if not the strongest basketball player. Just search for Jimmy Butler and how he describe Adams with that picks. Grin

. Good addition for the Rockets as they continue to improved their roster till next season.

Lakers surprising people at the moment. Beating the Celtics in the 4th quarter without LeBron James or Anthony Davis. They’re also playing in Boston… They’re up 12 now with under 10 minutes to go. Not sure they’ll actually be able to pull off this win or not but the next 10 minutes should be fun to watch if you’re near a TV.

Unexpectedly, the Lakers were actually able to beat the Celtics in this game. It looks like the Lakers without LeBron and Davis are not a hopeless team and may even surprise us. This time, it was clearly Austin Reaves, who scored 32 points and made 7 of 10 three-point shots. If I'm not mistaken, this is his best performance so far this regular season.

How about the story of Lakers beating the Boston, without AD and Lebron and having Brown just scored 8 point in this game?

And then Austin Reaves taking over the Lakers hitting seven 3 points shot, scoring 32 points. And then D'Lo having a triple double as well. And almost 7 Lakers at least scoring 9 points on more in a team effort?

Just shows how unpredictable the game is, as we have been talking about how the Lakers struggle and now win against the best team in the East without their top 2 players.

La lakers performance fantastis.
without antony davis and lebron james
but was able to win over the host and ranked 1 eastern conference boston celtic. brought them to the ninth position in the Western Conference standings. In the game, Lakers' player Reaves shone with a remarkable 32 points, 2 assists, and 3 rebounds.

They are big in that game, a put up shot and offensive rebound, Pacers just could not match the energy of the home team. I'm not sure what they are doing, they are allowing Brunson to do his thing, they should have double him as when he drives the paint, it's expected that he'll get fouled and might make the basket. It just boils down on the coaching job and Tom Thibodeau just did a great job on managing the current roster.

It has become unpredictable for the Knicks, we don't know when their run will stop, but as long as they are playing at home, the crowd will get into the game giving them inspiration so they'll play better basketball.

Nice game between the Knicks, who has the longest winning streak right now, against a tough Pacers at Knicks homecourt.

Pacers started hot and taking the lead, but the Knicks comes back in the 4th quarter and now leading by just 2 points but there is a challenge call by the Pacers. But we will see, it might be go into overtime for all we know.

Current score: 98-96 Knicks leading.

Pacers can't bea the Knicks despite they have a good start, I guess they were up 16 points early and Knicks slowly came back and in the end the Knicks were able to keep their winning streak. Without Randle and OG is not a problem for them as everyone are willing to step up, as long as Brunson is playing, Knicks will continue to play competitively.

It's going to be the Knicks winning here, no OT for them. There's a lot of heroes in the Knicks, how about Precious offensive rebounds? and then playing D against his former team mate Paskal Siakam? Or Isaiah Hartenstein 18 rebounds? And definitely, Brunson 40 point performance and being a first time All Star. They did it without Randle and IQ. So this is a big and emotional win base on Brunson post-game interview. So good win for them and let that streak continues with 9, 32-17 in the East. Pacers though is not an easy team to defeat as they also have the mentality for a hard and grind attitude.

Lebron with his tweet could basically be just making some statement and not really change much. I know that people joke about "legm" type of stuff and that is true in some cases he really did have a part to play but do you really think that he had any part to play building this team? It is obvious that he didn't really meddle with trades and free agents for a while now because the team that is built around him is not one that would fit him all that well.

I think it's quite clear that he feels like he is missing a lot of things with this, and should probably see the situation change a bit, it would not be all that simple. This is why I believe that the best thing to do regarding reaction would be maybe he just got bored with it, and wants something but doesn't have the power to do it himself.

It's really interesting to see what the Lakers and LeBron are going to happen next. There has been a lot of drama surrounding this whole Lakers team and a lot of rumors too. Though the only thing that's been close to happening is the DLo trade. But the rumors about LeBron or AD hinting about leaving the Lakers anytime soon, might be fake. That LeBron tweet might be something, he leave the Lakers if Bronny gets drafted next year.

Lebron is just trying to come up with an excuses on the struggle that they are experiencing now. He has to admit that he isn't not the same because he is not anymore on his prime, although he can produce good numbers but as to the impact of the team, you can tell there's a huge difference if you'll look closely. Let him do his thing but he can't deny that despite being able to get what he wants for his team, they are still below .500 now, leaving the team is not a solution, it's not good for his legacy vying for a title of a "GOAT".

I think they can give him a chance. Of course, they can think about the benefit that his family is going to get. He should be helped out in my opinion. Of course, there is going to be some team which can get him to just warm the bench a bit. If giving him a simple chance can actually get his family a big benefit like that, I don't think anyone should have any problem with that.

Let's see if any team actually helps him out before the deadline.

So I was trying to look for some updates on this thing about Snell but I see no update. We're already on Friday and if there are no teams that will sign him, that's sad for the boys of Tony.

Quote from: AHOYBRAUSE on February 01, 2024, 01:01:41 AM

Actually Mark Cuban sold the Mavericks and only holds a minority share now. Wink

Also Snell never played for the Mavs so there is no real connection other that Cuban is into healthcare.
Yeah it would still be ok if someone would come up and give this man what he desires. Especially one of his former teams could do so.

But I mean, he had career earnings of 52 million $ minus tax. I don't know what he need more money for actually. Other families with members with autism can also make it work, and they don't have those millions.

Kind of a strange to ask for this while being rich.

Usually, many of these NBA professionals that have been at the peak of their careers or whenever they've got the best contracts don't know what to do with the money. And they think that career there are going to stay for so long and that's why it's either spent unwisely and lost most of it just as his situation now.

It's not a new case when an athlete like him that played on the NBA before became poor. But I get the point that if the others can make, he should but he's up for the benefit from the league that will be there for the rest of his life.
