Well, what about if a player just wants to be out of a team but for sure they can make a player stay in the team that will be a good thing, and if that player is on the main roster or helping the team to actually win then that is a great player to keep but if that is getting the team into a kind of trouble then it is great to trade those players for sure, as for sure the chemistry of the team is really crucial as if a player doesn't like each other then it will be crucial for the team for sure,


For sure the Miami Heat VS Milwaukee Bucks was a close game both teams did a great job in getting the lead on each other but the Milwaukee Bucks are pretty much a better team now not unlike last season's game where the Miami Heat won the game and because Giannis Antetokounmpo has an injury last time, but this time with Damian Lillard and Jimmy Butler can not play for that game it was a clear win for the Milwaukee Bucks,

While the Golden State Warriors lost this game it was a very close game for sure this win for the Sacramento Kings is revenge on the early win of the Golden State Warriors against the Kings,


Sure they can still get into the playoffs, just like last season as the Warriors are even in the Further 6 seeds the Golden State Warriors still made it into the playoffs but eventually lost to the Los Angeles Lakers but that was really something as the Golden State Warriors did lost to the Los Angeles Lakers las seasons,

Yeah the points do matter, and when that suddenly became a thing, the "you do not score last points in a blow out game" thing became mute as well.

Normally, when you are ahead by 20 points on the last 10 seconds, you do not shoot and if anyone does shoot there is a problem, we have seen players attack each other for moves like that, most recent I can remember was crawford or someone, in the end you just don't do that, it's an unwritten rule, if you are leading and other team stops and accepts the loss, you do not try to score. Here though? During the in-season tournament, teams do score, even if they have a last second shot and leading by 30 points they still try because points do matter and who will go up could be decided based on that.

Yes, I think it's personal for them, from the last season's playoff wherein as the favorite, Warriors beat them. And then this season wherein the Warriors have their numbers already. But in this game, they didn't allow that huge lead to be a factor to make a comeback and show why they are a solid team in the West.

And so even if they meet in the playoffs again, it could be a different outcome. The mentality of the Kings are very different now. They have matured and learn from their past mistakes and surely this win is very big for them as they will boost themselves and motivated to be better.

I haven't seen any post about the recent sell-off of Mark Cuban's shares of Mavs to a buyer, the Adelson family. I am a fan of Mark Cuban because he's a brilliant businessman and also one of the best and looked up NBA team owners in the league. While for the Adelson family, this is the first time I've heard them.

As for the news, it's still Mark Cuban who will manage the team and will keep the shares that he has sold to the family. It's like that he's going to be the manager of the Adelson family. A very different setup, unlike the one that did Michael Jordan to the shares he's got with the Hornets.
And for the amount how much the valuation is, look at the quote below from Shams tweet.

News: Mavs Rumors: Mark Cuban in Process of Selling 'Significant Stake' in Team to Adelsons

They are not a simple opponent but for sure Kings treat Warriors as huge rival since they always get defeated by them that's why they do all their best to come up huge with this game and upset Warriors. If they got defeated on their game then this is another achievement for Warriors to continuous defeating them. Now Fox and the rest of the Kings show how tough they are that's why many people got surprise on the huge win against Warriors earlier.

Many thought that Kings will lose on that game since the score is so big to take over but they show some good sport and make those hopeful fans of Warriors a upset for defeating there favorite team in a supposed to be  huge chance to win for them.

The Kings have some personal matters with the Warriors and they are not just giving them an easy win right now after they were kicked by the Warriors in the NBA playoffs last season. That was just amazing because you cannot see such kind of game every day where they were behind 20+ points and they battled throughout the game until they choked the Warriors in the last minute and simply snatched the win from them. That was really an embarrassing performance and surely they will not be able to move on from that easily.

That's a good question to be in the poll? At least we don't have to wait forever to get the result, after that, you can put another question again. If that would be in the poll question, I guess my vote would be on the Magic to get the first 20 win. I'm just trying to be different as probably no one sees how good the magic this season too.

They keep disappointing us, it's not new anymore.

Warriors can't even on their home court, how can we expect to play better on the road.

It looks like Celtics and Sixers started great in first 10 matches. Timberwolves is leading the West but they don't get much appreciation in the poll.

What's the hot discussion right now? Do you have any suggestion for our new poll? Let me know so I'll change it.

First team to get 20 wins maybe?

Same here, who would have thought they'll lose, they're even up 18 points at some point. 


If it wasn't the warriors who are leading in with seconds left in the game, I would think that it's a 50/50 game, but it's the Warriors, they are good at this crucial moment, so it's very uncharacteristics for them to make mistakes especially coming from Curry and then Draymond who are considered as a clutch players.

I guess there's nothing we can do here. Don't blame them too much or they'll not win again, LOL... Better luck next time, Warriors still got more games, it's now up to you guys if you would still trust them to disappoint you again --

I was watching the game and was already in the impression that the Warriors already owned it, to my surprise that back-to-back errors of both
Curry and Green bring the green light for the home team.

Leading by 5 or 6 points less than a minute of the game, not sure what happened but it seems that Green's presence is no longer effective.

They need to find more adjustments to complete whatever they start to secure the win, else, it will keep disappointing them
if the same outcome will take place.

I think everyone watching the game was surprised to see the Warriors lose. That one one hell of a comeback by the Kings, who seem to have the Warriors number these days. The Warriors are just getting old and the Kings exploit their age and lack of size with youth, running, and Sabonis downright bullying them in the paint.

I was surprised to see the Warriors though losing the game, I thought they have it in the bag when they build a huge lead in the second quarter, never bother to watch. But when I check the score the Kings was able to make that huge comeback and win the game. Fox can't be stop by Klay, if I'm not mistaken he was the first one to handle Fox, but we all know how fast he is. Draymond is back in the game, but still, not enough, and yes I think there could be chemistry issues right now with the Warriors but they have the mentality of a champion, so I think they can figure it out.

I just recently understood how the rules will be in a tiebreaker of the In-Season tournament. So, it was a point system, just like in FIBA and the Olympics.
When the commentator talked about it during the Warriors vs Kings game that the Warriors need 12 points and win the game, that's when I understood it. I am stupid to think that they will use the regular season rankings to identify the winner.

So, the Warriors were defeated so I guess there's no problem in Group C anymore. It was actually a sad defeat because they tried very hard to make a 17-point lead and I really thought they could win the game. But Payton was hurt, CP3 was also hurt, and those two will be their key to winning the game. Sure, Wiggins is hot but still, when it comes to defense, Payton was the one who stopped Fox from attacking the paint.
It was a nice rotation from Steve Kerr, he did well despite all those problems. But, they still lost and I think the Warriors need more time to catch up on chemistry with Draymond Green.

They probably changed their strategy already, I've noticed in their previous games that they aren't so dominant in the 2nd half anymore, so I guessing they're trying to have a good start so they'll not gas out in the 4th quarter. Despite of the lose, I still find the strategy seemed working, the Warriors just made a bad decision down the stretch, like thoses costly turnovers that resulted to an offense on the other side, that shouldn't happen during their normal game and to think that the Warriors are used to tough situations, I'd say it's just a bad game for them.

Don't worry Warriors fanatics.... they'll bounce back with a big win!

I haven't seen much of Atlanta's games this season. But they're supposed to win games and enter the playoffs. They have a decent roster although not like the other teams filled with All-Stars. And Atlanta just lost again today against the Cavs. They're in a 2-game losing streak. This might be a good chance to beat Wemby and the Spurs to end their losing streak. But should the Spurs lose against Atlanta, I'll be betting on their opponents again in their next games as they're heading to make franchise history.


Yeah. Great match-up. Luckily, I haven't bet on a handicap since the Kings only won by a single point. GSW is known as a 3rd-quarter or a 2nd-half team but this game is the opposite as the Kings were trailing double digits until their rally in the second half that somehow gave them the sweet victory at home.

That was truly and entertaining game, when these two teams are playing against each other, you can already expect the kind of entertainment they'll bring. Warriors are good in keeping leads but this time the Kings were able to come back and worse is they beat them by one point coming from the winning shot of Malik Monk, that shot was so difficult but it still sunk. Damn, Warriors, missing the old days, they really are on a bad spot not, their standing aren't improving well... but I'm still not losing faith on this team.



Wondering if someone here were able to grab that moneyline through live betting? I'm pretty sure that's a huge ML odds, maybe at least x5?

With this lose, GSW are now at #10 with 8-10 record (very unusual of them)

Yeah the ending was truly great.
The Warriors also made a bad choice using their last timeout to challenge/check a "foul on a 3" that was called as an offensive foul by Curry.
It was so obvious what Curry was trying to do and using the timeout was truly a mistake. Needless to say that the call was confirmed and Sacramento got the ball.

Having no timeout in the last 3 or 4 minutes really also cost them the game, aside the turnovers and questionable shot selection of course. Having a lead by 18 deep in the third and then lose seems like normal these days. 

Crazy game with crazy sequence, here's the highlights of the game

Curry trap = turnover
Draymond unforce error = turnover

Malik Monk 3 point shot
Malik Monk 2 point shot (though shot) Sink!!!

Curry miss the last shot, Sac Kings win!

Yes there's still plenty of time and a game that once dominated by the Warriors has now become a close game. Warriors are only enjoying a 3 point lead now with still plenty of time left in the game, I feel this will end like their past games, but let's see if the Warriors would still come up victorious.

As long as Thompson and Wiggins are playing well, Warriors will likely win most of the time. But his ain't over yet, we still have one quarter, so breeze yourself and hope that the Warriors will be able to hold on.

Yes, Draymond the man is back, damn, this guy is what the warriors really needed as the energy on the floor is very high, so hopefully no more choking game from him.
