Shout out to my knicks. I almost turned the game off but figured it was an inseason tourny game watch to the end. Down 21 in the third and 17 in the 4th they locked down Jimmy buckets all 4th quarter. Held Miami to 11 or 12 points all quarter and rampages theor way back to a win at the garden. Best win of the year so far for them. Team looks tight.

That was a close game the other night. Nice to see Randle making a few shots after starting off the season with one of the lowest field goal shooting percentages in modern basketball history. They showed they can play with good teams when they have it together. I wouldn’t doubt them making the playoffs this year.

No Kevin Durant tonight or Bradley Beal for the Phoenix Suns but they still managed to blow out the Grizzlies by 21 points. Devon Booker stepped up and scored 40 to get it done. You love to see it. I hope they get a chance to get a couple dozen games in with KD and Beal to go with Booker before the playoffs so they can get their game together.

The Grizzlies are the clear underdogs in this regular season, considering they are currently near the bottom of the standings. In other words, I think the Grizzlies can be called an easy opponent for almost any team in the NBA. Honestly, it would have been strange and even embarrassing for the Suns if they had lost to the Grizzlies, whether Durant and Beal performed or not.

Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. couldn't lead the Grizzlies to win against the Suns and other previous games. Without Ja Morant all season long because of suspension, the team lost momentum showing how important Morant is for their performance. If Morant had played the Grizzlies this season might have had a better season overall.

So true, he is the leader of the team, without him, Grizzlies doesn't have that push to win. Although Bane as times trying to be their best player, it's going to be difficult for him and obviously he is not Ja Morant.

I think they've lost their swagger this year, trading Brooks and then the issue with Ja Morant still persisting. They might have to change somethings in the future if they want to be very competitive as they used to be in the West.

A little bit of outrage being shown as Josh Giddey takes the floor as a started for the Oklahoma City Thunder. It seems like the NBA hasn’t taken any action against Josh yet, but I assume at some point the results of an investigation into Josh’s off court activities with a Junior in High School will be announced. Not sure what sort of penalty the NBA will give him. Seems like a police matter.

Jokic may have lost the game, but he played amazingly once again, that dude looks unreal, 38 points on a game the team didn't even scored 90 I think, I do not remember the end result but I think they were something like 86 if I remember correctly, that dude scored 38 of them! And not like inefficiently or something neither.

I feel like this is going great and I have to say that it is going amazing so far, I believe that they are going to end up being the champions again if he keeps playing like this. And the weirdest part is that he doesn't look like any of the MVP's or best players we have seen so far, I mean we are talking about players who all worked incredibly hard, woke up at earliest hours, trained for half the day, and won that title, this dude just dislikes the game all together and didn't even train during the summer, comes back, bored, plays, and wins. He is unique in that sense, how many players dislikes their job and could be the best player?

Not too much happening in the NBA today but the Thunder with their surprisingly good record to start the season are playing against the 76ers. That should be a decent game. No televised games today though. The Mavericks and Clippers might be another decent matchup as the Clippers try to build momentum on their few wins lately.

Chet and SGA is a monster duo which can give a toe to toe match against Phila that is now hot team too since the departure of “the system. Cheesy

I’m excited to watch Chet play against a physical center like Embiid to see on how he can deal with raw strength with his skinny body. OKC seems in perfect form now that Chet is healthy and contributes well to help SGA.

Clippers vs Dallas? Dallas will surely massacre defenseless clips.

Nikola Jokic, Jayson Tatum, Joel Embiid, Steph Curry and more. These are the names that come out when it comes to the Season KIA MVP Award. But, when it comes to the In-Season Tournament, different names are on the top.
https://www.nba.com/news/in-season-tournament-mvp-ladder-nov-25

1. Tyrese Haliburton, Indiana Pacers - They ain't 4-0 for no reason. Cheesy

Tyrese had been playing on a high level for the Pacers and on every In-Season Game.
2. LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers - Oh yeah, the other team that is also 4-0. Lebron is still damn strong.
3. Damian Lillard, Milwaukee Bucks
4. Domantas Sabonis, Sacramento Kings
5. Devin Booker, Phoenix Suns - from being unranked to now in the 5th place after missing games due to injury.

We now have 5 MVP awards that will be given.
In-Season Tournament MVP
KIA Season MVP
Eastern Conference MVP
Western Conference MVP
Finals MVP

Houston Rockets beat the Nuggets in the match in which Alperen Şengün scored 21 points. Alperen quickly became one of the rising stars of the NBA. Houston Rockets, who have achieved good results this season with Ime Udoka, seem to be qualified to make the play-offs. Alperen Şengün became the star player of the team this season. He was playing well last season as well, but this season his role within the team has evolved from being one of the important parts of the team to being a key player of the team. We are proud of him. I hope his performance continues to increase.

I agree, he seems to be improving this year, and you can sense that he is very much confidence playing his role in the Houston. And I think it's all about the culture and the confidence that his new coach is giving him. Ime Udoka really knows how to motivate his young players, perhaps similar to what he did when he was still the coach of the Boston Celtics although they just fell short that time. But he keeps his winning formula in the young Rockets team that's why they are really doing good this season and some of their losses are really close game that can go either way. For sure, with that kind of confidence, he will continue to play that good and maybe average his best season ever with the Rockets.

Yes, with how coach Udoka handles those young stars he really put them together and create good chemistry, I like the trust that they are putting together, seems doing well and they are very competitive compared to their last season's performance.

Though it's too early but the important thing is that they are really improving, let's see if how they will keep that confidence to try winning more games together.

We are currently watching the Spurs vs Warriors game, 2 struggling teams, who's gonna win this game?

Both teams having a good start shooting at least 60%, if the pace will continue this might go an easy over for the total. Wemby seemed playing well so far, so let's see if it will continue and also let's see how the Warriors would limit Wemby knowing the lenght of their opponents is their main problem.

Still no Draymond Green for the Warriors, still under suspension.

The Warriors managed to beat the Spurs by small margin but seeing how the Warriors team played without Draymond Green it was still very good because they had Curry, Saric and also Klay Thompson who was the player with the most points.
I thought the Warriors would experience little pressure and also difficulty in winning this match but in reality they all played well as everyone expected.
Now there is still just one match remaining in this group phase and of course the Warriors will definitely prepare themselves to be able to perform better in the future.
Kings will be the Warriors opponents in the next match and this match will take place next Wednesday.

I think there was pressure indeed, they really have to win this one and doesn't need to be upset by the Spurs. And as you can see there are no blowouts, the Warriors just play perfectly fine just to win the game. It was Curry who lead the team, Saric I think this is one of his best games as a Warrior and surely the money that they pay this big guy is worth.

Klay though, he really needs to score 20 points or more, he is back to his regular 15 points a game. Wiggins will also need to play big for the Warriors to win close game. It's not all on Curry's shoulder, everyone should work hard and improved his shooting percentage.

There was a pressure on their side since they lost a lot of games recently. If they lost against Spurs which is having a bad streak it can possibly make them feel down. But since they are successful to beat them and got a good performance together then we can say that Warriors still doing fine this season.

And its just their important players need to step up and Klay also Wiggins need provide good numbers so that they could win. They have great potential so they should not rely only on Steph since if they could able to share the ball and shoot for sure they can get a big wins against other teams.

Somehow the Warriors found a way to win that one despite the fact that defensively Wemby was stopping all of them from getting on the paint. Steph Curry went nuts with 35 points. 7/13 in 3 points field goals and free throws to seal the win.
19/40 total 3 pointers from the Warriors. Another good game on outside shots and I like how Coach Kerr is rotating his players. Definitely, CP3 and Saric must always be paired because it's more productive. And another key for them to win this game is Gary Payton II. His defense is contagious and now that he is back I bet all of the Warriors players will play the same level of defense as him.

Their next stop for the In-Season game tournament is the Sacramento Kings and if they beat them it will be a tie for their group. I don't know how they will break a tie but I think it will rely on the standing so it means the Warriors will lose. So the other chance the Warriors have is the wild card thing for the 7th spot on the West Group.
Here is the format for the knockout round.

The Lakers are safe with a 4-0 standing and the Pacers are also safe with a 4-0 standing too.

But suddenly, their shooting in the second quarter is not as good as in the first quarter. The first half is over, with the Warriors now leading by only 4 points, but there's still plenty of time. We know how desperate the Spurs are to win; the Warriors have already broken their losing streak, so maybe the Spurs' time will come today.

After a good first quarter, I think Wemby did not score in the second quarter. Adjustments really play a vital role in this game, and the Warriors' defense has been adjusted to limit Wemby. If he keeps going, it could be contagious, and the whole team will be playing impressive basketball, putting the Warriors at risk of losing again at home.

It is famously known that Lebron spent 1 million dollars per year on things that helped him keep his body in shape, this was of course nearly 10 years ago, it must be a few million dollars a year by now. From high end cryotherapy stuff, to include simple to think about stuff like chef and nutritionist and all that. This means that this dude spent over 20-30 million dollars in his career just to be able to play like this at his age, because it was all to keep his body going further. Unless there is a big injury or something, wouldn't you be able to say that he could continue for another 5 years? I mean his Lakers years weren't all that 70+ games per season, so he keeps his body fresh just in case, but I can say that he could play 50-60 games a year for at least another 5 years unless he has some serious injury.

Well, that is a wise investment though. Afterall, his biggest asset is his body, skills and talent and by investing his money to maintain his physical abilities, we have seen great results so far. His longevity is the biggest proof to that. Not even 5% of all the athletes around the world could still dominate in their field of sports at that age. I thought it's not just he spent much money for his maintenance but he has also been sacrificing a lot of things that could ruin his body, otherwise all those that he have spent for maintenance will all go to waste. Another thing that I admire him the most except the fact that he is so athletic is his durability and the ability to absorb injuries, despite of how much physicality he gets every game.
