I think two years minimum, that's how long James can still play competitively and just waiting for Bronny to come in the NBA before he retires, so yeah, most likely a season wherein he can score at least 2000 points then he will be on his way to have 42k-$43k points in his entire career and I don't think that anyone can break that record.

And we all know how James is also a freak, a genetic anomaly that he was able to stay this long in the NBA and still have that kind of bounce and competitiveness in him to score or average more than 20 points a game, can still run and chase down blocks and hammer that ball hard.

Yes, he was given the exposure, perhaps the team expects something big from Chet or he is just a player that really wanted to help his team, and so far we have noticed his performance and it's scary his potential will be in the future.

And it's hard not to compare him with Wemby, both are running for a rookie of the year and it looks like Chet might have a slight advantage if we will see today's voting.

Nevertheless, it's a long season and we will see more of them and we will see how the Spurs will break from their losing streak or Chet really becoming a solid OKC player.

Chet Holmgren is on the right track with the Oklahoma City Thunders and because they have an ace on their sleeves for sure the Oklahoma City Thunders surely can go into the play-offs for sure even though it is too early to say the lease for sure just like last season the Miami Heat back then is in the 8th seed going into the finals from last season, so we can not say for sure if the San Antonio Spurs would likely drop into the last seed there is still chance for them making it to the playoffs

For me, the season is still starting so for sure the San Antonio Spurs still have the chance of making it to the playoffs Victor Wembanyama is Still starting so for sure his chemistry with the Spurs is still not established yet, for me


Shai Gilgeous-Alexander really deserves of what is ahead for this kid for me it is greatness for sure and he works hard for it so he is really deserving, and for sure he can get what he wants in the future, for Chet Holgrem he is doing fine on the Oklahoma City Thunders and the Thunders right now is one of the incredible team so far, and because this is just the start of the season there are still many that can happen, so let's sit back and relax,


Gregg Popovich is doing his all in making the San Antonio Spur into a team that can make a difference, but for sure it is likely hard for now as the team chemistry with Victor Wembanyama is still lacking for sure,

The Denver Nuggets would really need Jamal Murray and his double-double digits for the team, it is not really easy for Nikola Jocic to be solo with the plays they still need speed as Jamal Murray is providing it with a faster pace,

While the Golden State Warriors got a lot of closer game losses, they still need a little push with Jonathan Kuminga but if Kuminga can not make himself a needed prospect for the team I can surely see a trade opportunity for him while they badly need a push on their confidence for sure, but if they got lost to the Spurs this upcoming game then for sure then the team confidence will surely shatter,

Well, a happy Thanksgiving then to all Americans out here. I was actually laughed at the description at one of the article saying he's dating the same as his 3pt percentage, LMAO. I think the allegations are still speculation until proven but wow that could really be serious if it's true it's an underage girl.

Looks like we have a day off from NBA games as the league lets its players celebrate Turkey Day here in the United States. Plenty of NBA drama to keep up with on social media though as the Oklahoma City Thunder are dealing with Josh Giddy apparently having a relationship with a 16 year old girl. His career may now be toast.

Yeah, and I would say that the teams they have face and games they won against a weaker team. I'm not saying that Clippers is a bad team, but they will still need to go to a lot of test before we can say that they are very effective indeed or the sacrifice of WB to come from the bench and not to start is going to pay off. 2 of their wins is against San Antonio Spurs, and one from Houston, it's not that they have face a strong team and win big.

Good test will be against a team from the East like the Boston Celtics or Sixers, it's a complete team that can match their superstars.

Or maybe Denver Nuggets too, if they are healthy and Jamal Murray back in the line up.

I think it all depends on the teams he plays, I mean we are still seeing a superstar level contribution to the team by Lebron, that's actually quite troublesome for him, he shouldn't be doing this. I think he should not be at a team that he is the star of, he should be at a team where he is not expected to do this much. If we could see him do a lot different, like a team where he is not the star, he is not the guy with the ball all the time, not the guy who tries to score 30+ every game, then he would be bale to play a lot longer, but when he is asked to do this much, it feels like it is going to take a lot longer.

I think it is going to be a situation where it is going to end up with a situation that will be a bit different. With his kid coming to the league, if his son is drafted by some other team, he will not have a contract with Lakers and he could go for that team too and player with his son there, it is quite possible and would be something fun to see.

It's good that he quickly accepted his role as a bench player and that could be a part of him being a basketball player because it's not really about himself rather is for the team to catch up in the great intense play by the other teams. their adjustment is really worth it and that's not really a big deal for Westbrook unlike when he was in the Lakers, they put the blame on this poor guy. Hopefully, he can recover his old self so that he can be an asset for the team and for their dream to get into the NBA finals not just get choked in the NBA playoffs.

They've definitely upped their game this season compared to the past when they were stuck in a consistent tanking phase. The Rockets have shown big improvement, as reflected in their current ranking, (i think they are at rank 5 before the lose streak).... Although they faced a three-game losing streak on the road, they managed to bounce back with a win at home. It's still early days, and their performance might fluctuate throughout the season.

The Clippers had also experience the struggles, especially when Harden joined the mix, but now they're enjoying a three-game winning streak.

Regardless of the teams they faced, that's something to be happy about.

I wouldn't label the Rockets as a weak team; they're sitting pretty at number 8 with a win rate above .500. The Spurs, on the other hand, seem to be in a bit of a rut, struggling to find their winning ways. But let's see how it unfolds. The Clippers are going head-to-head with the Pels, Zion's crew, who've been on a roll with 4 out of 5 wins in their last games. Things are about to get interesting starting this game.

Yes totally agree. This is because Russell Westbrook gave up being in the starting lineup. Also don't forget Daniel Theis really help Clippers! 20+ points in 21 mins. However, they only won against weaker teams specifically the Rockets and had back to back wins against the San Antonio Spurs.

We'll find out if the LA Clippers are really strong in the next fnour games Pelicans, Mavericks, Nugget and Kings.

Westbrook ditched his pride ages ago, even taking a smaller contract this season to free up space for team improvements. Now, with Harden in the lineup, it seems like his sacrifices are finally paying dividends. Since they started notching up those wins, you can see their experiment is on the brink of success. I'm not jumping to conclusions; before that three-game winning streak, they were stuck in a six-game losing slump with Harden. Their current standing at number 10 with a 6-7 win-loss record isn't exactly impressive yet.

Westbrook coming off the bench has been working so far. There were reports that he personally requested to be "relegated" from his starting role so the team could start playing better and winning. It's not that I'm surprised with the decision to sacrifice but kudos to him if that's what really happened.

Its total team performance can give them a best shot so most provably at the moment Chet got more high advantage to win the ROTY since Spurs is really in bad shape. To many good things happening on OKC roster and they make each other as a better player so provably it can affect the performance of Chet that's why many convince that he became more better for now and can take that trophy against Wemby.

To bad for Wemby he's potential is not enough since he's teammates is not really consistent that's why they lost multiple times. This need to fix up since if they lose more again then it will lessen up more the chance for their star to win a ROTY this season.

Any team had a shot at taking the win in that match 'cause everything was neck and neck in the final quarter. You know, Indiana racks up the points big time, but they're not exactly defensive team. They only took an L by a single point, but they had the upper hand and could've clinched that W. That -2.5 spread turned out to be a bookies trap, I guess. I mean, they won their last game before that showdown, playing on their homecourt, and the spread seemed like a  not hard to cover. So, pretty much everyone was banking on the home team, I reckon.


We're pretty sure they'd school the slumping Spurs, but the real test is whether they can pull off a win against a playoff-caliber squad.

I was one click away to place a bet on Pacers and I'm glad I didn't do it because I said to myself that his team is always swinging between good performances and bad performances but last night I think it was just bad luck for them vs Raptors who is a team that really loves to play offensive basketball but also they don't focus a lot on defense.

Meanwhile , Clippers are having 3 victories in a row and by the way they play , I think the 4th one will come too. 

I don't know, I don't think that Wemby is the main scorer as well with the Spurs, there are a some players in the roster that can score. But nevertheless, it could be a close match for the ROY between the two, Chet is coming out this season and he had made that one good game wherein he scored the winning basket.

And with the Spurs struggling, maybe it can affect Wemby's chances as those who are going to vote might look at how he contribute to the team.

Lakers though, with the same pattern at home, they like to play catch up and let the team pull a big lead and then going in the 4th, they will do a catch-up. But it's not going to be winnable for them all the team.

I think we've already seen wat Chet can provide to his team, I mean, he isn't the best player in the team so he has some limited opportunity compared to Wemby. And as we all know, Wemby is view as the best player of the team, but this big man is actually struggling now, his team hasn't won games after a back to back win against the Suns.



There's a big difference as Chet isn't the main scorer, while Wemby is the main scorer for his team, so if the basis is only on the production, Wemby might have an upper hand.

Wemby and Chet are both in a good spot as they are getting the playing time they need to explore the league, with more experienced
with more game time they will be able to adjust.

Maybe from what we are seeing it's Chet who is really getting the advantage as OKC is really performing and he's bringing his game be noticeable.

I like how the coach gives him the trust and he's really not wasting anything both on offense and defense, he's really adding to the team's overall performances.

Yes, you have to commend coach Pop for calling a spade a spade, it's already been years since Kawhi has left the Spurs and coach Pop has nothing ill about Leonard living them. On the other hand, Kawhi became one of the best after his stint with San Antonio and won a ring with the Raptors.

It seems that the Clippers have settled down, after a rant by their announcer. They have responded already. But I guess, we will have to see them against the best team in either conference, not saying that Spurs is bad, but they are now in the cellar even though they have the best Rookie so far.
