That Laker game was a close one. I’m glad LeBron made that second free throw to get them the win. After he missed the first I was a bit concerned. After the last matchup with Dillon Brooks I’m glad LeBron got the best of him this time. Crazy close game. Same with the Suns game earlier. Good basketball tonight.

LeBron never seems to age; he scored 37 points tonight. However, if he hadn't made that second free throw, there would probably be criticisms coming his way. I also watched the Jazz and Suns game. While the Suns emerged victorious, it wasn't an easy game for them. The Jazz fought hard on every possession, especially in the dying seconds.

Probably a lot of memes too. That's how Lebron James' haters do their work. Even the smallest mistake of Lebron will be magnified 100 times. Grin

Thankfully it went in, that will silence them for like 5 more games.

The Utah Jazz versus the Phoenix Suns. Damn, that was loud there. Fans were expecting the referees to call it in favor of Markannen and make those three free throws but in the end, the Suns' won the challenge and was reviewed clearly.
Imagine the what-ifs. If the Suns don't have the challenge, will Markannen be able to shoot all three considering the pressure it will bring? If it went to overtime, Jazz had a big chance to win it. Collins plus Markannen is a damn strong duo beneath the rim.

Anyway, it's a fun game and sportsmanship was again seen after the review to end the game.

I wonder how long he can play like that. I'm not against what you said, but the question is how sustainable it is. What if Lebron will have a bad night? Will there be somebody who can step up? If Lebron sits down, will somebody step up offensively?

I mean we know that Lebron is capable of carrying the whole team, but at his age? There will be a time that he will not play like that at some games, and who will step up if that happens? At the start of the season, they already said that he would not play more than 30 minutes per game, but it seems like he's playing the same number of minutes as he was when he was still in his prime years.

I mean I would like to see the Lakers winning with Lebron not scoring that high because he's like, he's carrying his whole team again like what he's doing in the past. Well, a win is a win, and as for the Rockets, they are now on a 2 game-losing streak, and both their 2 losses are from LA teams. Cheesy

And that's why others have criticized him as he missed a lot of free throws in clutch throughout his career as compare to let's say a Michael Jordan as far as the GOAT debate is. And if James will have to thank to, it will be Reaves who made that big 3, otherwise him missing 1 free throw will mean that it might go into overtime. But overall it was a good game for James and AD and Reaves, but we can't discount the fact that the Rockets have improved this season as they also have their own winning streak. So nothing to be ashamed for Houston as they really pushed the Lakers tonight and they almost steal another game here. Just entertaining Lebron going against Brooks and then him giving the "too small" gesture when he scores against Dillon, so there's no love lost between this two competitive players.

Clarkson isn't shooting well tonight; he hasn't scored any points from beyond the three-point line. However, the Suns vs. Jazz game is still interesting because it's going into overtime. If the Jazz win, Markkanen could be the hero. These two teams have played two games, and it has always been satisfying for the fans. Hopefully, Utah would even their series.

And... there's the double OT, Sexton got the follow up shot.. Entertain yourself so much in this game because the Jazz aren't going anywhere. They are playing like a good team against Durant and Booker, let's see what would happen in the next 5 minutes. It has been so entertaining so far.

Yeah, it went to double OT, but the Suns were still in control of the game as the Jazz couldn't stop Durant. Although Clarkson improved his shooting in the second half, it wasn't enough as they fell short against the Suns, with Durant scoring 39 points. The Jazz are now 0-2 on, but they fought well in their last two games. Congratulations to them for having a competitive team against a playoff team like the Suns.

The big loser is Kawhi in all this. He went to form a superteam in LA because he thought they’d win a lot of regular season games and help him maintain his highest winning percentage of all time legacy. Now that legacy is toast and he’s got to be extremely depressed about it. I think he’ll be asking for a trade soon if they don’t start winning a lot in the regular season.

I don't get it. Why would he join the Clippers after winning with the Raptors? In my opinion, it doesn't make sense. I think the main reason is that he doesn't want to stay in Toronto and prefers being in LA. It's good that PG also signed at that time, so they formed a strong team. Leonard has already proven himself by winning championships with the Spurs and Toronto. I don't think he's just chasing championships; he's choosing to play where he's happy.

Rockets won 6 in a row and Clippers lost 6 in a row. Most people expect Rockets to win but I thought the exact opposite. This must be the game that both streaks are over. Rockets were close to win the game but Harden said the last word. He played like his Rockets days against Rockets ironically.
This Clippers should be in higher places, since that bad streak is over I believe they'll climb up fast. They promise so much with that roster. Harden is back to normal, Westbrook accepted his bench role, with Kawhi and George they should be in top 5 in the West.

I think his fight against Houston was quite breathtaking. They were very close to beating the Clippers with Paul George, James Harden and Westbrook, and James Harden wrote the fate of the match until the last second. With the last 5-6 seconds left in the game, James Harden took a step back from outside the line and made that three-pointer and won the foul. As I said, Houston could have had a chance for the Rockets if it wasn't for the foul, Houston put up a good fight until the last second of the game. James Harden haunted his former team with this three-pointer.

Harden does this against sub par teams takes advantage when he cans. Still think this version of the Clippers barely hits .500 on the year, it doesn't seem like a solid team. Just a bunch of good/star vets and trying to get them to all play well together. Too many Chiefs if you ask me.

Watching this In-season tournament deal right now...just feel really odd. Watching my Chicago Bulls facing off against the Orlando Magic. The court is painted all red which is actually kind of cool.

I think this is a very eye-tiring parquet. Light tones could have been preferred. I'm sure if a survey was conducted, most of the viewers would show that they are uncomfortable watching this.

Sixers won easily. Embiid missed a triple-double with just 1 assist. He only played for 30 minutes because Sixers made big point difference too early. Cam Johnson had a very bad day. The fact that Lonnie Walker scored the most points for the Nets sums it up.

As for me, the color of the court looks too bright, and I personally don't like it because it distracts from the performance of the teams. I don't know if the players are comfortable playing on such a court and if it somehow affects their performance in general, but I think the fans, especially in the upper rows, are unlikely to appreciate this coloring of the court.

I don't like it either. It looks very weird on tv and it is hard to watch the actual game. Just hard to see. For the players, it must be somehow ok because I didn't see anyone complaining. Maybe from the players' angle the light coming from the ground is not disturbing their play. But definitely weird on TV. It looks like something weird from a sci-fi movie.

Once again, OKC managed to beat Warriors Klay played a bit better, not a lot, 16 points all together in 36 minutes doesn't look like he took the lead at all but at least this time Wiggins scored 31 points which was good enough to make them go do better, Curry played as well this time, and he played 40 minutes, nearly all game and still scored just 25.

With all these three together they should have won the game but they still lost at overtime, to be fair this doesn't mean Draymond is there for nothing, he sucks as a player individually and I would not pay even the veteran minimum to him if I was any other team, BUT when it comes to Warriors, his leadership is the only reason he is still getting the big bucks to be fair. Look at the team in terrible condition without him, they are just doing whatever they want, nobody is talking and doing anything, they are much more talented than Draymond, but they are not a team without him which causes trouble.

Maybe Wemby is affected to much on the attention he gets from media that's why he always get distracted when playing a game since on his mind he don't want to commit a mistake since it will be all over in media and fans will criticize him. While Chet is enjoying some low limelight that's why he can focus on his game and became more better player. Wemby situation is hard since he's all over the news so if he will not meet what fans like to see for sure he will be called bust and that provably hurt his feelings.

Wemby should do more better job since he have all the potential and he should never entertain any distraction so he can perform so well on each games he played.

Initially, the fans were singing Wemby's praises, thinking it would fuel his fire on the court and keep those impressive stats rolling. However, things took a turn for the worse. Can't fault the fans for that though, it's par for the course. If they're not feeling a player's game, criticism is bound to follow; if they're enjoying with it, cheers are in order. Now, Chet is at 17 PPG, Wemby at 19 PPG, and they're neck and neck. Still a bit early to make the call, but it seems like Wemby might be facing some tough challenges especially now that the Spurs are at the bottom of the standing with 8 Losing streak.

It turns out Curry was playing; I thought he'd be out due to injury, so that was a surprise. It's a positive for the Warriors since they really need a win. However, the familiar story unfolds, they struggle to protect their lead, failing to contain OKC's big 3rd quarter run. Three quarters down, and the Warriors are only ahead by 2 points going into the fourth. Let's see if the Warriors can pull this off.

What a sequence in the 4th quarter! I thought the Warriors had it in the bag when Wiggins nailed that 3-point shot and there was only 1 second left. But, hold up! OKC called a timeout, set up a play for Chet, and he sank a tying 3-point shot. Darn, we're heading to overtime now. The Warriors are still at risk of losing. This game is intense! Grin

This game made my day after also winning my bets on Milwaukee over Dallas. It's another solid victory by the young Thunder in San Francisco. Tough game but very exciting. Rookie, Chet Holmgren with a buzzer-beater in less than a minute. I still thought GSW's experience would play a crucial role in the overtime but they ended without shots in their last attempts.

OKC has a bright future. And they might even end in the top 4 in the Western Conference this season. And they still have a lot of future draft picks that can supplement the team or support future movements when necessary. So I don't know why someone considers OKC offering first-round drafts in order for Lebron's struggling Lakers to make another super-team. Cheesy

Chet seems to have the upper hand over Wemby in the competition lately. Chet's been stepping up his game consistently, while Wemby's performance has been on a bit of a decline, and his team has been facing some struggles too. In that game, the Warriors had a real chance to win, but it slipped away. If Chet hadn't nailed that last shot, the Warriors would've been celebrating, breaking their losing streak.

I think the Warriors are holding up fine, and I was impressed with what Wiggins have showed in that match. He hit his season high with 31 points, and his shot selection was on point, going 12 for 19.

Looking ahead, the Warriors are gearing up to host the Rockets in their next game. Should be interesting!

@ YuginKadoya - maybe you can call it chemistry issues with the Bulls, they they still have the core of Lavine, deRozan, Caruso and Vucevic, so they are still intact. But there might be internal problems that we might not be aware of and that's why this trade rumor surfaces.

Yup! probably that they have issues that we haven't seen as I think Zach LeVine is not a showy kind of guy and it is not likely to be seen in public but deep inside there could be a problem within the team, and yes there are some YouTubers are spreading the rumor's that the Chicago Bulls wants to trade Zach LeVine and that rumors might be true because it is spreading like wildfire and we all know the internet there is no stopping it getting into the team of the Chicago Bulls especially Zach LeVine,

Quote from: OgNasty on November 16, 2023, 05:59:58 PM

The Lakers are “showing interest” in Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, & Alex Caruso. Basically, the Lakers are going to try all they can to get a win out of the Bulls need for a rebuild. With Anthony Davis having shown interest in going to Chicago, something big could be happening with this. Getting Zach LaVine and Caruso while dumping Anthony Davis would be a huge win for them in my book.

I really don't know about the Lakers if that is true but right now the Chicago Bulls might be rebuilding their team with newer ones as we all know the Chicago Bulls are now interested in the young ones as if they can get a talented one they can work from there in building the team and for sure that players don't need any max contract at all, so it will be less payment for sure but a low chance in getting into the playoffs or winning the finals for sure,

Quote from: EFS on November 16, 2023, 11:50:59 PM

Easy game for Thunder. Warriors without Curry is already tasteless, they don't have Green as well. Klay plays awful and Payton is injured now. Warriors can only score with Looney and Kuminga, which is quite contradictional for them. Warriors can't compete against Thunder with only points in the paint. SGA started good, I expect an early Thunder win by 20+ points margin.

Stephen Curry did play but still, the Thunders won the game and my bets were quite awful this time as all of my bets were lost it was a frustration for sure but anyway, the Golden State Warriors got a really close game but Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has hand them down the big lost,
