Yeah, another one for the books this season, when they thought that they have won the game, Mitchell find his zone and they closely chirp that lead and he was short of just 2 rebounds to make it a triple double and bested what Luka did.


This season is a whole bunch of surprises causes these young lads are doing great even when they've not yet reached the championship games. After all, it's all about the team and I think this is the new trend nowadays hopefully we see someone breaking those records in this same season as well. They are focusing on one single player and looks like it works very well nowadays Luka is proving it right where he scored 40+ points in his past few games this season. rather than making some incredible stats for every single player in the starting lineups, everyone focuses to give their star player the assists he deserves.

Mitchell had 71 points, that's extraordinary, he was like the Kobe Bryant of the LA Lakers during Kobe's prime years. We will surely remember that, he has become more comfortable playing with the Cavaliers and just like the Warriors, they are good in defending their home.
Reminds me with how Kobe take those shots when he holds the ball, I see him fits with the Cavs system just like how they give
both Lebron and Kyrie.

Let see if the Cavs will move forward and be contender once more, or it will be a same fate for Mitchell when he still wearing
a Jazz uniform, continue to be on the playoff but unable to move forward.

But his 71 points performance are already added to NBA history a 5th player to make these huge productions.

It was the first time I saw him produce that huge number of points. I know Mitchell is good but he does not produce like Luka, so this one is really special for him and most especially for the fans. He had his own version of Luka, intentionally miss the FT, and shoot the ball to bring the game to OT. Imagine, at some point they were down 20 points, and slowly they come back to beat the Bulls.
My God this is definitely in one of those categories, it's historical. It was also like Kobe's 81 in the sense that Cavs were losing big time before Mitchell took over and he started to score like it was nothing and got the tie as well, it was his effort that got the win and without him scoring like this they wouldn't be able to.

Like I remember Booker scoring 70 points a few years back, but they were losing big time and the team just gave him the ball and the other team didn't even felt like defending because they were beating anyway, Celtics if I am not wrong and they got the win, this wasn't like that, Mitchell scored and brought the team the win they needed.

Also double overtime win by the Warriors against the Hawks, Klay scoring 54 big points as well.

This season is really one of the big one that we haven't seen for a while as players are elevating this game to the next level.

Klay worked hard on the court today as we see him sink 10 3-pointers flawlessly. The Hawks sure made it hard for the Warriors to take the win, dragging the game to a double overtime. Lots of surprises this season and hopefully they bring in the hype and all the grit once the playoffs starts.
Trae Young was stunned by what happened at the last play. Kevon Looney keeping the paint safe (20 boards) and a follow-up to end the second overtime. They are all exhausted after the game but the fans are surely happy with an entertaining game and an extended time for one ticket.  Grin
Klay Thompson will definitely change now as this will add to his confidence. Now, I am more worried about Jordan Poole as he keeps on making more errors and it seems like he lost his confidence in attacking the rim. He looks scared to penetrate the paint, unlike the other games where he would attack endlessly and get some contact.

So the top 3 r ight now are not assured that they can go to the finals, those are inexperience teams and yeah, come playoff time, who knows, with a healthy Curry and Wiggins, it might be a different Warrior team, upping up their level.

Looks like others are really referring to the current standing in predicting who will be on the Finals or so.

The final seeding is not that necessary as sure experienced teams will unleash their best once playoffs come.

Standings are only for bracketing. When playoffs come, all teams will have a 0-0 standing. Pointing to Warriors, they are build different when playoffs come.

Or it's just that fans are too accustomed to see Warriors playing in the Finals or at least in the conference finals. Anyway, it is still too early to have this discussion because as we saw in the games in the last few weeks, weaker teams are defeating heavy teams and there are some teams as well that are busy climbing the ladder.

Because of these reasons, I'm inclined to see a tough playoffs that the people will enjoy watching and having a hard time predicting who will be facing in the Finals. Warriors are still tough of course but we should know that they are only pure offense team now because the guys that are handling their defense are not around anymore. So, if there will be an injury to their player who got the best offense then it's safe to assume that the Warriors will crumble.

I wouldn't go so far as to saying that he's like the Kobe Bryant of this era. If he can consistently do it against the big names in the league, then that is the time we can consider him as one of the greats. For now, it's a huge career achievement for him to attain 71 points in such a game wherein they were down so bad at the first half and they came back stronger. Not everyone can do it, and not everyone can be as calm and collected as he was while doing it.

Hopefully Mitchell can do these cool stuff and help carry his team towards the top 3 of the Eastern Conference. He's posting good stats every now and then but the team needs him to do more of these consistently.

I know this is too early but I really that Jokic will finally get his ring this year. I just hope that his team mates will not choke because they have the best roster inside out in the league.

Good point because really, it's still too early to say that Jokic and the rest of the Nuggets will get their ring this season. This season is real interesting to me because there's a lot of competitive teams which makes the league so unpredictable and makes the bettors life harder (that includes me). That said, I bet we will see an entertaining games in the playoffs up to the Finals and I have a feeling that we will get to see another champion.

My 76ers pick was a win earlier and just hit the spread on Heat v Clippers. For tomorrow's game I'm looking at Milwaukee Bucks vs Washington Wizards +7.5 @ 2.03 odds. Unofficial sources say that three of the four Bucks key players (Hill, Antetokounmpo, and Holiday) is probable to return for their Tuesday game against the Wizards, with Khris Middleton still staying at the sidelines.

I'm confident that the Wizards will be able to cover this one despite the three big names for Bucks returning in the field. They have picked their momentum and are obviously on fire right now even without Bradley Beal on previous games, and now that the man is also set to return on Tuesday's game, it'll be quite an even matchup for the two teams come game day.




Donovan Mitchell!!
71 points, 8 rebounds, and 11 assists.  Shocked 7/15 - long-distance shots. My oh my, he took the game to overtime where it's almost a white flag game.
Then dominated the whole overtime and snatch the win away from the Bulls.

The highest point made since Kobe in 2006 was 81 points. Mitchell is now listed as the 8th most points in NBA history tied with David Robinson. Wilt still holds the highest at 100.
Absolutely a monster, he found his zone and the Bulls didn't expect that. They chased a 21-point lead and flipped the game.

It was an insane performance from Mitchell! Dude was a beast in forcing an overtime by missing the free throw and making that rebound with 3 seconds on the clock. The man certainly is all fired up and hyped up after playing Call of Duty with Kyrie Irving Cheesy That 21-point chase was phenomenal, and you can see that the Bulls lost their cool and their composure after they see that their lead was wiped out easily in 2 quarters almost single-handedly by Donovan Mitchell.


Also double overtime win by the Warriors against the Hawks, Klay scoring 54 big points as well.

This season is really one of the big one that we haven't seen for a while as players are elevating this game to the next level.

Yes, but they have a good chance though specially the top seed because they are going to face the weakest amongst of the seed team. Nevertheless, like what we have seen, Phoenix pretty much steam rolling everyone in the regular season with their fast phase basketball. But once the playoff goes, superstars like Luka and Steph Curry goes on a beast mode carrying their team. But there could only be one team to be a champion and fortunately it is the West, the Golden State Warriors.

In the playoff all will be back to 0-0 the one who will win in each series will be moving to the next round, those on the top seed from
the current bracketing might have an edge but not a guarantee.

In regards with GSW, I can't say nothing but to agree that with the healthy Wiggins and Curry and the kind of chemistries that they
are showing now, the defending champ are still a good competitor to chase another ring.

Anyone notice this. Those last year top on the Western conference switch places to bottom. 1-5 switch to 6-10 places except Timberwolves and Jazz. Those team that destroyed by GSW on the playoffs is now very strong in regular season and fixed there weakness. Nuggets now have a reliable outside shooter to help Jokic while Gordon is now performing impressively. They recently beat Boston in perfect form with huge price gap.

I know this is too early but I really that Jokic will finally get his ring this year. I just hope that his team mates will not choke because they have the best roster inside out in the league.

And it's because the Warriors also change a lot from last season, their season unit is not that deep as last year where they have GPII, JTA, Porter, D Lee and others. And now that Curry and Wiggins are injured, they are occupying the later half of the draw now.

And then we have lots of surprises like the King and Jazz too when we thought that they are going to tank because they are rebuilding, they are amongst the top team in the West. Lakers? just the same with no improvement at well and could be worst for them this season, just saying.

The warriors are not even at the top last season, this team yet still won the championship and is now the defending champ. I would not want to count their performance as for me they are still the best team despite their struggle this season. Curry will eventually be ready in the playoffs and that would make this team still a very dangerous opponent.

Right now, the Nuggets, Pelicans and Memphis are doing well, but comes in the playoffs, it's still all for the Warriors.

They are 3rd in the West last season, behind, Phoenix with their 60+ games and then Memphis and the Warriors. So you can say that they are in the top but obviously since they have the championship DNA, playoff is a very different thing for some teams.

Like Phoenix, they were upset by Luka, just imagine that, only one player tested the whole Phoenix team and yet they can't win. But Warriors lock down Luka and didn't let him have that kind of games with them.

So the top 3 r ight now are not assured that they can go to the finals, those are inexperience teams and yeah, come playoff time, who knows, with a healthy Curry and Wiggins, it might be a different Warrior team, upping up their level.

What site ranking is this in the first place? I just want to know. I doubt it for the GSW this time around it looks like they won't gonna make it. These days it keeps getting unpredictable on who's gonna win the NBA championship, and, when the playoffs come that's when the most unpredictable thing happens.

I do not know where you are basing that comment, but GSW still looks solid even with their poor start this season. They are 19-18, which is above 500. They are currently on a 4 winning streak and 5-5 on their last 10. All that was done without Curry and Wiggins. They are currently ranked #9 which is still okay since they still have 45 games to play. Last year, I think, they finished 5th in the West and were still able to take home the Championship. As long as they are able to get into the playoffs, they still have a good chance of winning the chip. They are a different beast in the playoffs, especially if they are all healthy.

This is the cause of the trouble, like yeah Warriors won last year, but have you seen what they are paying to their players? They have no room for one more good player and that means if someone gets bad (draymond for example) then they have to keep him on the books for a long time. Which causes them to be amazing at first, but then start to go worse and worse.

Those are homegrown talents getting on to their prime. They need to get paid, or they will take their talents somewhere else. Draymond is maybe on the decline right now, but he is still a vital piece on their original core. He helped the Warriors get the 4 chips in the last decade, 6 finals appearances, and help make GSW from a million-dollar team to a billion-dollar organization.

Gordon is always impressive in the regular season but let's see how he will perform in the playoffs especially when they are up against the Warriors. IMO, the only players that are reliable for the Nuggets are Jokic and Murray, the rest may just choke, I hope I'm wrong but just saying my honest observation.

I also see the good improvement with the Nuggets, and with Murray again playing, the winning chance is good to move forward to the playoff and a possibility of chasing the ring.

They've got good role players who can help Murray and Jokic, hopefully if they manage to work their way
to the West finals again, it will be a success. Though too early for assuming we need to way till the All-Star
as we will see more improvement, especially on the west side.

I'm actually frustrated when the Nets freed Steve Nash but somehow, it turns out that it's like what the team truly needed because they are going on a straight line already ever since the season started. Although, they still have some struggles, but they are bouncing back impressively after every loss they've got. These new Big Three of the Brooklyn Nets will definitely bring the team to the playoffs and with its role players, together they can achieve much further than what they did last season.
I agree that when I've first seen the news that the team has released Steve Nash, I'm a fan of his during his career, I'm also disappointed.

But looking at their current situation, they're doing better and it's all thanks to the change that has been made.

The Nets didn't have a good start but at least, they're having a good run now.

They should, considering how good their roster are. Some NBA players maybe good when they're still out their playing, but terrible in coaching.
What we have known is that, the best PG can make a great coach, because they are the ones who's making most of the plays during their professional basketball career. But, Jason Kidd and Steve Nash terribly fail at coaching. I think they still need enough experience as an assistant coach.
They know how good their roster are and that's why they're now at the top, 2nd to the standings. But before the year ends for 2022, they're at the bottom just like the Lakers.

All good. We've seen that they've stepped up already when the coach was changed and finally the management probably seen that the team has no respect to their coach or a few of them.

Then, there has something to be done and they've obliged.

I expect a more comfortable Memphis win tonight. Even though Kings had a good form they hardly won their last matches. Their defense has problems and they concede too many points. Morant is on form and Jackson and Bane also help him scoring. Adams is a big threat in the paint. I'd pick him over Sabonis.
About handicaps I see +7.5 for Kings. I think Memphis can easily get a two digit difference win. So I don't agree with your post at all.

Another on point review and winning bet, I hope people used it and made money. Smiley

Gordon is always impressive in the regular season but let's see how he will perform in the playoffs especially when they are up against the Warriors. IMO, the only players that are reliable for the Nuggets are Jokic and Murray, the rest may just choke, I hope I'm wrong but just saying my honest observation.

Jokic is just too powerful and when he's in bench to rest Nuggets struggle a bit. We saw that again Yesterday in Celtics game. They still managed to win easier than expected. Bones Hyland made a difference when he shot 3 threes in a row. Aaron Gordon always play with a good standard.
BTW the game stopped for almost 45 minutes after basket bend, probably because of Robert Williams' dunk. Nuggets field management failed, they should have fixed it much faster. Smiley
