The Phoenix Suns are now officially a very scary team after the game against Chicago and they just boost their chances to win the Finals this year. Devin Booker seems like he's getting back to his old self with Durant on their team as he now have more spaces to make shots. Just like what I've said before, It is impossible to double team Durant, Booker, CP3, and Ayton all at the same play.
I may not be rooting for them to win the championship, but I cant deny the fact how strong this team is. Does Chris Paul finally get his first ring this year? Let's see about that lol.

Yep, I need to see a Denver/Suns 7 game series that would be incredible. Suns/Grizzlies would be good too. But with the experience on that team I can't see them losing a 7 game series if all theor starters can stay off the injury list.

Suns are really looking dangerous at the moment. The match between Suns and Nuggets, as well as the match between Suns and the Grizzlies, are going to be two really interesting games. With the type of performance Suns are showing right now, clearly indicates that they have a very reasonable chance of winning both of those matches. Let's see what happens. I am quite certain that they are not able to win both of those matches. As a result of the players not staying healthy, this is going to be a big problem for the team.

The Kings are such a surprise, but they are not a championship team yet. Their defense is not that impressive, but I'm happy that they will be in the playoffs so they can experience playing with teams that have been consistent in the playoffs. For a young team, getting a home court advantage is a good thing as they lack experience.

They are a surprise indeed, but don't you know that all of the playoff teams right now really want to face them in the first round?

Like you said, they are a very impressive team right now, and many are surprised with how they are playing this season knowing that their roster hasn't that much changes aside from their head coach Mike Brown.

Home court advantage? I find it useless right now especially when it comes to the playoffs. What's more important that is the playoff experience, and that's what the Kings are lacking right now. Aside from Sabonis, all of the players of the team don't have any playoff experience yet. What if let's say for example they face the Warriors in the first round? How can a team like the Kings that has no playoff experience defeat the Warriors who has lots of playoff experience already? Even the pressure of the crowd don't intimidate the Warriors anymore because they already experienced it many times and they know what they will do.

I'm agreeing with what you said that they aren't a championship team yet.

Knicks.....straight.....stunting on the nba.....talk about it.

Bulls…straight…..not stunting on the nba…let’s not talk about it lol

Nah I’ll bitch a little. At this point with them playing like such shit all season, and obviously clearly not having any legitimate shot at making any sort of run in the playoffs, it’s time to maybe trade some pieces and start losing. Would be amazing to someone pull another situation like we did with Derrick Rose and luck out in getting the number 1 pick again (would be something with the Bears and Bulls getting it).

Bro, that made me laugh so hard literally with tears in the corner of my eyes. Grin

I don't know. I do think PatBev somehow boosted their defensive stance and energized the team about doing the same hardcore defense. They had a few good moments in the 2nd quarter, they even had the lead then Zach LaVine added more by hitting a buzzer-beater three.
What happened in the 3rd and 4th quarters though is hard to watch. It's an eyesore.
Sure, the Suns have Durant now but it's not like he cannot be stopped, they actually did a good job at defending him and he only scored 20 points in 30 minutes. But whenever he kicks the ball out when the double team comes, the Bulls cannot go back to their positions to stop the outside shooters.

PatBev blocking Ayton might be their best highlight.

It's probably the effect of getting Durant, Booker suddenly becomes a monster scorer, I mean that is what is to be expected of him and they almost got a trophy if not for Giannis and the Bucks.

But with the acquisition of Durant, they are now a real threat in the West. Perhaps the Nuggets and the Grizzlies will be their worst nightmare. But then again, if Durant keeps healthy all throughout, they are a very difficult to beat with him and the emergence of Booker. Plus they still good one of the best point guard in CP3 and man in the middle Ayton.

Booker now has a higher chance of scoring more because the defense will not be fully focused on him. Unlike before, where he would easily get doubled if he got hot, they cannot do that now because doubling Booker would leave Durant open, who is a high percentage shooter. It's always good to have two great shooters on a team, as it's hard to predict who will make a shot, especially if their chemistry is very effective.

Durant > Irving
Durant > Booker

Both superstar pairing worked.

They have the pieces to be good they just need to put it together. If there is any year to get the number #1 pick it's the year. Victor W is the real deal. I usually don't like picking bigs early in the draft because they get injured a lot but I'd be all over Victor at the 1. He is a franchise chasing pick.

What an ugly game between the Clippers and the Kings, Sacramento took a double digit lead by the Clippers comes back and take a 1 point lead. Then Sabonis sinking FT to take back and then Paul George missing the 3 in the last seconds that could have give them the W.

So still winless for the Clippers since acquiring Westbrook although he had a good game again as a Clipper and he was dare to shoot a 3 and made 1.

Clippers now down to 8th spot, as the Wolves won over the Lakers tonight, surpassing them.

I was cheering for Sacramento Kings in this game. I was a bit nervous when Paul George became hot in the remaining last minute of the game. Luckily, he was not able to convert his last shot that would have ended the Clippers' losing streak. Westbrook performed well although his lack of 3-point shooting ability will cost part of their offense. 16 more games for the Clippers before the end of the regular season. This is probably the best time to bet during the regular games, especially on the remaining teams that are fighting for their playoff spots.

And now the Kings are on a 5-win streak and are getting near to 2nd seeded Memphis Grizzlies.

The Kings are such a surprise, but they are not a championship team yet. Their defense is not that impressive, but I'm happy that they will be in the playoffs so they can experience playing with teams that have been consistent in the playoffs. For a young team, getting a home court advantage is a good thing as they lack experience.

In my opinion, PG should go for a drive instead of a 3-point shot. Maybe he'll get fouled, and since it's just a one-point game, there's no need for a 3-point shot.

Yes, but you can't deny that they have improved a lot this year. They are just half a game for the second spot as Memphis lost against the top team the Nuggets.

As for PG, he did crossed over Fox if I'm not mistaken, and he has been hot in the fourth quarter and hit on the same spot. It's just unfortunate that when he let go of that shot, it was obvious that it was short and not much spin on that shot as he might be in the hurry to throw it.

This is Westbrook's last chance in redeeming himself and his NBA career. If he fails to deliver and help the Clippers and be a burden to a team, it might be the beginning of the end for his NBA career.

Forget about scoring if it's for Westbrook. The dude can't even shoot the ball. That's why he called Westbrick because he can't shoot the ball. Let the scoring be done by other players. They have Kawhi, PG13, Mann, Gordon, and some bigs as well that. I would love to see Westbrook to be a better player now that he's on a different team already. I'm a bit disappointed on how his career went down from the main star of the Thunder, to the 2nd best player in the Wizards, and he went to the Lakers, he's just an average player and worse, he became a bench player.

I hope that Coach Ty Lue already said to Westbrook that you must not shoot the ball, and just focus on assisting and playmaking.

Well knowing WestBrick in being a WestBrick, he would surely ignore that, but for me right now Russell WestBrick, is playing a great game, in their February 25 game WestBricks Debut play for the Clippers it was a double OT close game against the Sacramento Kings with only 1 point lead, it should be a win for the Clippers, and right now they have 5 consecutive losses the recent one was a game against the Sacramento Kings again with just 1 lead, but right now without Kawhi Leonard again but WestBrick have done a great game in making a double-double of 10 Assists and 27 points for the team but surely it was a very close game,

Yes, and we really love to see the Warriors playing at their homecourt because it really bring the best out of them. And most of the time when you think that they are going to lose because their opponent has a huge lead on them, they have that confident to make a huge comeback in the 3rd quarter to turn the game around.

As for the Clippers, if Kawhi will take a sit against the Kings, then their chances are very slim to win that game in my opinion.

Sad to say but Kawhi Leonard didn't play again, definitely he needs time to rest but right now the Clippers now have 5 consecutive losses while the Golden State Warriors are making a move slowly but surely, For me, I am still thinking that the Golden State Warriors will make it to the playoffs, the return of Stephen Curry, The return of Klay Thompson's slash performance, The awakening of Jonathan Kuminga and return of Andrew Wiggins and GP2 to the team will surely aim them to make a win for the Finals,

We will give credit where it's due and its.... Julius Randle, get a good lead by allow the Butler and the Heat to come back. And then you thought that their winning steak will be snapped, Julius made that out of the body 3 point shot with tough defense from Butler himself.

8 winning streak now, and in the 5th position, and only a couple of games behind the 3rd spot Sixers.

So let's see how far their winning streak can go.

Epic collapse on Boston’s part. They looked downright lazy in the second half. Not getting out to defend shooters and settling for terrible three pointers. I think they got a big lead and then just stopped trying. Tatum shot horribly from three point range and Marcus Smart was getting called for fouls left and right. Great comeback for Brooklyn.

In the first period, Boston played very good, it was clear that the team's performance dropped a lot in the second half, and the Nets took advantage of this opportunity
I was surprised with the result of that game.

By the way, did anyone else here saw the Lakers vs Timberwolves game?
What did you think about that game guys?

Nah I’ll bitch a little.

Would be amazing to someone pull another situation like we did with Derrick Rose and luck out in getting the number 1 pick again (would be something with the Bears and Bulls getting it).

Their shooting is okay, but their defense is very bad. With consistent losses, their chances are slowly diminishing. It's not really good for the Bulls. If they miss the playoffs this season, then they might as well start rebuilding the team and trade their superstars to their desired teams

The Bulls are in 9th or 10th place in the east currently. They have 3 wins in their last 10 games. Most likely they are missing the playoffs with how they have been playing the last 2-3 weeks. I don't know about trading all their stars, but they do need to find some help in the defense area. Division rivals are killing them 7 wins to Bulls 6. Road games are killing them. They need a spark.

They are not a bad team; however, I believe they are inconsistent, and that has been their problem even early in the season. There were rumors before that Lavine did not want to play with the team anymore and wanted out, but the rumors subsided when the Bulls started winning. Now they are back to struggling.

In terms of their lineup, they have a good one, as they have their own version of the big 3. However, the problem with this team is probably the chemistry level, which has not fully developed yet.
