Much better than last year.

So, that's still a progress and we have to see how far they'd go this season. As long as there's a progress, I think that it's a compliment to their team then.

We see, good teams in the past season starts to be dry this playing season. While the bad ones started to have some good progress that we recognize.

I think this regular season can already be called a success for the Pistons, even if they finish in the same spot in the standings as they are now. In other words, if they make the play-in tournament at the end of the season, it will be a very good result for them.
Actually, the Rockets are also surprising this season, although they have been underdogs for the last few seasons.

That is what I am saying.

The Pistons are doing great in terms of what they are right now compared to the other ones that did great last season.

So with that, I agree with you that they can be happy with where they are right now and have some celebration to it but this isn't just the peak that they can reach now.

This year's winner of the NBA Cup is the Milwaukee Bucks. It was a well-deserved championship. The MVP is Giannis Antetokounmpo as expected. They didn't start the season very well, but in the last 15 games they had a big breakthrough. Giannis looks very happy. Such great players fight for every trophy. Some may consider this trophy insignificant, but it seems that every trophy has meaning for the players. I'm also happy for Lillard that he got such an achievement, he needed it in his career.

Still counts for each players after they retire it will be an addition to their greatness, Dame and Giannis did everything for this trophy together with each players and coaches who support them play their roles, though the league still far but we are now on the exciting part each teams will try to aim for more wins as the next round is coming and competitive teams will likely push thier best to move foraward.

Congrats to all Bucks fans and for Giannis for winning the NBA cup finals MVP, let see if they'll continue winning to secure their spot in the East side.

Yeah, still a good record to see in this players resume to have won a NBA cup. So now the Bucks is back, hopefully though winning this cup is not like a jinx to them as we have seen the Lakers last year, after they won, they struggled,

Giannis though really work very hard in this game, and they have the height advantage and so he posted and uses his body. I like how he is very much aggressive in the first quarter and then Dame just click in their outside shooting. And it's hard to win against a team that shoots more than more than 40% in the 3 point area.

Darvin Ham is still perfect in the NBA Cup.. it’s confirmed now; he’s the lucky charm for the Bucks.
The big difference here is that the Bucks dominated in most the key areas. Just look at the stats.

https://www.espn.ph/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401734908

team 3p% rebounds
Bucks 42.5% 52
OKC 15.6% 43

That was an impressive 3 point shooting, but they are a high shooting percentage actually, not the OKC as Bucks are rank 3rd this season.
https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/milwaukee/stats/

I think with this win, they gain the atention of the bettors and they might think of betting the Bucks to win the championship which I'm pretty sure the odds now are very attractive.

Not sure if this website is updated, but Bucks now is +1800

And Lillard turn into a prime Dame Time and hitting those outside shots. And then it trickle to his team as almost all those who played, hit a good percentage on the outside. Just so sad to see OKC falling again with a great chance to win the NBA cup.

The big NBA Cup game is upon us. Will Giannis and Dame be able to carry the Milwaukee Bucks to a victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, or will Shai and the underdog boys continue over performing and take home the cup this year? I’m leaning towards Giannis and the Bucks, but we’ll see soon enough.

I think we have the answer already, Giannis and Lillard seems to be on the mission to redeem themselves after a bad start. And now that they have won the NBA Cup, it's sort of validate themselves that they are still a team to reckon in the East with a big win against the young Oklahoma City Thunder team. And for the latter, it's another experience under their belt and if they just go and improved themselves, they can still maintain that number 1 seed in the West just like what they did last season. But this time it could be very different for them. And I think teams might realized that this could be a very coveted trophy as well. Imagine winning this and then the NBA title, that is huge and most likely this will be the aim of other teams as well.

The OKC Thunder's shooting percentage was very low. That's not them, as they are known to be capable everywhere on the floor. I was looking for a very close and nail-biting game, but that didn't happen.
Yes, congratulations to the Milwaukee Bucks. Well, I did trust them in the first place even though they are the underdog.

The perks of early bettors. I don't know if the line changed once Giannis showed that he would play because both he and Lillard were questionable to play before that game.
+7.5 was the max given for them but I didn't take it because I knew Giannis would try so hard to claim that title and now he has two titles in his name.

It's going to be a dog fight and we know that this kind of players thrive in this kind of environment. And games are played in neutral grounds so it make this game more exciting are it takes the home crowd from the equation.

So it's very hard to see how the game will end, I might lean towards SGA and his OKC here, I think the team is very deep and if they even allow Giannis and Dame to score, they can offset it as they have a lot of players that can contribute as well. Looking for the match up between Caruso and Dame, or anyone body that they will throw on Dame to stop him or at least makes it hard for him to score.

Looks like experience came through in the end. I think when it comes to the NBA Cup and it being so new, guys like LeBron and Giannis had to win one for their legacy. Steph is probably a little bummed he isn’t able to win one. Maybe next year, but time is running out for our favorite NBA superstars.

Yeah, Giannis was very aggressive in the first quarter and on the attack mode. Him and Lillard knows what it is on the line and so they try to force himself inside and bodying anyone who guarded him.

And Lillard turn into a prime Dame Time and hitting those outside shots. And then it trickle to his team as almost all those who played, hit a good percentage on the outside. Just so sad to see OKC falling again with a great chance to win the NBA cup.

The Pistons are quite unpredictable, but they’re no longer a lousy team.

The worst team in the past season is now becoming a better one on the current season. While the one of the good starters of the last season is now becoming the worst team for this season.

I'm talking about the Utah Jazz. So seeing Pistons doing some redeem on this season is actually a nice view.

They become a better them, but still very far from making that playoff?

As for the Jazz, I guess it's more on the atmosphere of the players themselves, I mean we've heard about trading Lauri Markkanen before the start of the season and it could have affected him and other players. He was link to a trade with the Warriors but it seems they didn't want to give him.

Also the Sixers are suffering as well this season, they've got Paul George, but without Joel playing the majority, they are amongst the worst team for now.

Much better than last year.

So, that's still a progress and we have to see how far they'd go this season. As long as there's a progress, I think that it's a compliment to their team then.

Pistons got some draft picks and they have Cunningham so they are building a team around him. They will fight this year for the play in probobly or be close but i see them in next 2-3 years with a full pack team. Utah this year is just a team that will get destroyed by everyone and they will be bad this season like Pistons were last season for sure

Let's take note that Darvin Ham is undefeated in the past 2 NBA Cup (one is when he's still coaching the Lakers where they won the title). I believe that Darvin Ham has a lucky charm that's why he's undefeated still.

As much as I want to root for the Thunder to win in this NBA Cup, I'll go with the Bucks just because I believe they got the chemistry that they needed already as what they've shown in their past games. They've got a sloppy start but became better and better.

I guess we will see the same as what happened when KD, Kyrie and Harden were in Brooklyn. They barely play together because of injuries and personal reasons.

Well, they can tank and get that top spot in the upcoming draft if that's what they want. The problem is that their roster has 3 all-star players in it and for me, it's hilarious that you paid 3 players a huge amount only to tank for one season. Anyway, it's pretty obvious that the Sixers will just be a play-in team at the best, and I will not be surprised if these Maxey, PG13 and Embiid will not play together this regular season.

I thought that the Heat is going to win as they lead by 8 down with 2 minutes and I said that I've won my bet on the Heat and it was a nice comeback. But suddenly Hardaway Jr hits 3 consecutive threes to give the Pistons a 1 point lead. And it was just enough for them to take the W as Hero misses his 3 point shot attempt.

I didn’t watch the game but I’m happy with the outcome because my Pistons were +4 in that game, and I just needed them to cover the handicap, but they ended up winning outright. The Pistons are quite unpredictable, but they’re no longer a lousy team.

In their past games, they almost beat the Bucks, unfortunately, one player missed two crucial free throws that could have sealed the win. For me, that was their best game this season, one I won’t forget.

The Detroit Pistons have actually been really good this season in my book,, they’re a such a threat now to almost any team in the west, If their star player Cade and a bunch of their good additions to roster could stay healthy for the season, then perhaps they could hope for post season appearance, they had 14 wins the entire of last season, while they have about 11 already with only just 1/4 of the season gone.

And with that there are a lot of speculations as well,

- going to be traded
- has foot injury

But the reasons given is that he has to tend for "personal matter", so we should rule out injury already. And the word "personal" might really connote something is going on with Lebron right now that he needs to step down in the last couple of days and not play to clear his mind and so this conspiracies has surface, but who knows, it could be true. And maybe the authorities has really had the P Diddy video and it shows Lebron there?

Even if there is a video of LeBron at these p daddy parties, it's unlikely fans will change their attitude towards him in any way. I mean, his basketball accomplishments and records won't go anywhere, and he'll still be the GOAT for most fans. However, it can't be ruled out that his media reputation may suffer one way or another because of this case.

He already cleared that out and he says that it's because of his foot injury. And it was the doctor that advises him not to play and so he missed games. And he added that if he was to decide, he will not want to missed games as it is very important for him to contribute.

So I guess the rumors though about him in the P. Diddy won't die as there are a lot of sports celebrities and starts that has been drag in the drama and speculation specially about Diddy or Jay-Z being accused of rape.
