Something? Maybe defense lol. They had a double digit lead early in the 1st half, Warriors weren't draining threes. No Curry, no Wiggins, Pelicans should have slowed the pace a little and play some defense. After halftime it was game over, Warriors woke up and caught fire.
The Pelicans need a rebuild, no doubt. Same old story with them, they’re just not consistent. We’ve seen this too many times: they get a big lead, then let the opponent come back and beat them. Even with Zion healthy, they just don’t look like a solid playoff team. Honestly, I even doubt they’ll qualify this season.Maybe they need that changes, even Zion will be playing healthy if they'll use that same system it's useless, they've got a big lead in the first half and those who bets for the Warriors during the live games surely benefits a lot, not sure why CJ is not producing decent numbers as he's playing long minutes.
I like the Warriors but I along with Vegas thought that without Curry and Wiggins they had no chance at a win tonight. It's early in the season, but if they can play like they did tonight without 2 stars, they'll be fine.
There was some shady line movement in this game. It opened with Warriors at +3.5 and closed at +1.5, which made it seem like bettors were backing the Pelicans. Turns out, it was a trap.

I’m reading that Bronny may make an appearance in tomorrow’s game. The Lakers are traveling to Cleveland to play the Cavaliers in LeBron’s hometown. The rumor is that LeBron and Bronny will get a couple minutes together in front of the Cleveland fans. Hopefully we get that moment where LeBron passes to Bronny for a bucket…
They provably create a history if Bronny and LBJ will play tomorrow. I believe Lakers would provably allow that to happen knowing that father and son tandem playing on their birth place could gather a lot of hype for that game. Also Bronny is expected to go to G.league so maybe they would give a chance that before this to happen they provably take advantage on the hype and gain something from this.
If there's a chance for sure we could see that happen and this is truly an epic moment for LBJ and Bronny.
Also once Bronny will go to G.league the coach there could develop him more to became a better player.

Buddy Hield carrying the Warriors to a win over the Pelicans tonight with 28 points shooting 7-11 from three point range as Steph Curry cheers him on from the bench. He scored 19 points in the fourth to close out the game. Great seeing Zion back on the court getting buckets too. The Pelicans seem like they’re close to having a good team, they’re just missing something.

It will be interesting to watch both the Mavs and the Wolves in this regular season. Both teams can finish high in the standings, although it's still unclear what we should expect from them in the playoffs.
By the way, it's worth noting that Randle has performed very well in his first games in a Wolves uniform, which is even surprising. Looks like the Knicks made a mistake when they decided to trade him.
Wolves and Mavs are definitely some of the more interesting teams in the league. Flashy players like Luka, Kyrie and Ant is what people want to see. Flashy and effective basketball, also with a lot of passion!
About Randle, the problem was never his talent but his motivation and especially his health. I mean if he would be more healthy I doubt the Knicks would have traded him. Let's see how long he can stay the way he is now before something happens again, with him it often looks inevitable for something to happen.
I’m honestly shocked that the Mavericks are seeing so much success with Klay Thompson. Defenders are downright disrespecting him and letting him take wide open shots. 29 of his 33 three point attempts so far this year have been wide open. He’s shooting at 46%. Teams are going to have to adjust. Seems like Klay may not be washed yet, but he’s literally getting wide open shots so it might be a little early for me to admit I’m wrong.

The Dallas Mavericks are off to a good start, winning two of their first three games of the season. However, given Luka Doncic's poor performance against the Utah Jazz, they will need to play a more solid game against the Timberwolves. For the Dallas Mavericks, Kyrie Irving's strong performance and the team's defensive resilience were effective, but it might be difficult for them to maintain the same success on the road.
The Minnesota Timberwolves, on the other hand, are in good form and performing well at home. Led by Julius Randle and Anthony Edwards, the Timberwolves have been consistent both on defense and offense. The Timberwolves have also won three of their last four home games and usually play better when they come out rested. The Timberwolves are also favored to win due to the Mavericks poor road performance.

I don’t understand how these sculptures always turn out so bad. They have unlimited money to hire the best in the world but for some reason their guy who does these is terrible. I’m sure there are elementary school art students who could do a better job…
A shame Steph has himself an injury. Hopefully it only keeps him out this week.
I don't know.A shame Steph has himself an injury. Hopefully it only keeps him out this week.
They can perfect or at least make it identical with Dwyane Wade. But in every angle, I don't see him in there.
While some tells that there's a look-alike but with me, I don't even know what to say and maybe a closer look won't prove that it's him.
That was supposed to be an epic moment for Dwayne Wade but it turns out to be bad for him since the status is unrecognizable if Wade's jersey will be out of that statue. Its like the artist fuck up that moment and many people made fun at that moment.
Maybe Miami want to save some cost and instead of creating a similar statue that represent Wade it turns out to be so bad.
I don't really think there's resemblance and even Wade say who's that guy when he see that statue.
Lol, even Wade says that we don't know who that statue is, just too bad for Miami to let this one go un-noticed. I mean before unveiling, they could have check and consult with people if they are going to make it public or not because it really doesn't look like DWade and it's a disrespect for him. I'm sorry but the one they hired do a bad job on this one and hopefully this could be the last one that we will see such sculptor of supposedly a person but it doesn't resemble him or her. As for Steph, yes, hopefully it's not that bad and he can get back to play because the Warriors had a good start for this season.
I agree, they should have asked Wade prior to the launching so that there could be some fixes and if it's already approved to him before the unveiling happened.

My god is this for real? lmao, this is one of the worst sculptures I've ever seen. I can't imagine that Dwayne Wade is very happy about it himself. I mean it looks absolutely ridiculous. Also to say no one could do any better is pretty funny, just go take a look at any pro stadium is all of sports and at the countless statues that currently sit outside of them, I think you'd be hard pressed to find one that comes even close to as bad lol.
I know right lol. I even don't understand why D Wade is happy about it when it's obviously ridiculously made. Not even a single resemblance I could see, except for the jersey and the number lol.
There should be somehow who's better at this craft and money ain't gonna be an issue for sure lol. Anyway, we've seen Kobe and AI's statue which were also not quite good, but this one for D Wade is the worst lol.
Terrible Dwayne Wade statue aside, that sculptor isn’t the only one who can make bad art…
Changing subjects though, Anthony Edwards is facing off against Luka Doncic tonight. Should be a great game and a playoff matchup from last season. I thought Minnesota was the better team then, but Luka is something special.

That photo looks more like Udonis Haslem. I guess the sculptor is trying to combine them into one sculpture. 
Or maybe a confusion happened.

Perhaps that is the picture that the sculptor took inspiration, but it turns out that the finished product is definitely wrong.
And this is what the artist have to say:

Of course he will defend his work of art, but for fans, it really didn't looks like DWade.

For the Lakers, it was a breath of fresh air to see them having this kind of chemistry in the game. Of course all credit should be given to JJ Reddick as it seems he had that talent to really lead and coach the Lakers and most likely players believing in their new system.
That’s very evident from the last three games they’ve won. What I like about them now is that when they're down, they don’t give up easily. And when they're up and the opponent makes a big run, they don’t just crumble. This shows they have the composure to win and trust each other. Davis has been a significant factor, and their current play is really benefiting him. Not to mention, their defense has improved tremendously as well.
Plus, he is Lebrons close friend, and Lebron has always been a pure leader, meaning that if Lebron is respecting and caring about what JJ says, then the entire team will shut up and listen, or you would be traded next day. Also, JJ likes a style of basketball that is more fluent and based on motion, which works for this team better than just giving the ball to Lebron and expect him to do something.
All these combined, he is getting better results but also lets remember this is VERY early into the season, they have 75+ more games to play, so anything could happen, maybe they started this good but will end up terrible, we can't possibly know that.

How about the Suns vs Lakers game, it was really very close, but the Suns was able to beat the Lakers this time to stop the run by Los Angeles. But it was really a fun game, KD and Booker, combine for 63 big points, as they don't want to be 0-2 against the Lakers are early.
Lebron though has a quiet night as compare to when they beat the Suns the first time with just 11 points. And it was still AD who lead the team, with another double double.
Wizards getting their first win this season against the Hawks.

Last night, something even more significant than the NBA games took place: a statue of Dwyane Wade, one of the Miami Heat's legends, was unveiled. This is truly one of the greatest honors a player can experience. However, Heat fans criticized the sculptor, saying the statue doesn’t resemble Wade at all, and they demanded it to be redone
Is that Dwayne Wade? Or Dwayne WEIRD? Last night, something even more significant than the NBA games took place: a statue of Dwyane Wade, one of the Miami Heat's legends, was unveiled. This is truly one of the greatest honors a player can experience. However, Heat fans criticized the sculptor, saying the statue doesn’t resemble Wade at all, and they demanded it to be redone
Kidding aside, we all know that the statue doesn't resemble Wade at all angles. The late Kobe's Sculpture in LA resemble, but this statue? The criticisms is just enough, and I hope they will change it, but I doubt that it will happen. Anyway, fans can just criticize but at the end of the day, Wade will be one of the best Heat players in the history of the franchise.
Maybe someone needs to freshen up your memory. Do you see the resemblance now?
The creators of memes already have taken interest in this insult of an honoring. I am sure there is more to come and this is just the start.
Hopefully for everyone involved they can somehow consider working on the face a bit more because if this stays as it is I don't think people will actually see it for what it should be but more for a joke.
Damn, instead of that statue will give an honor to Wade's name now it became a meme. Miami should do something with this since its like they made fun of Wade's statue. Other legends got decent figures but Wade just got like that for sure he would never be proud that he have that statue since it really doesn't look like him.
Some people do mind conditioning that its fine, but actually its not. Now this became really a source of joke and for sure people will remember how terrible things happen when this statue of Wade revealed to his fans.
