We don't know if they can make it to the eastern finals but with how they are performing right now, they've got better chemistry and the stars are really taking over to help to win each game.

With regard to coach Nash, he's now a close book for this season. After he left and after that issue
with Kyrie has been resolved or now being forgotten, Nets are performing to the best level that they
can, nothing to say, but 11 winning streaks is really a good sign for them, without major injuries
they can continue winning and might be possible to force their way to the playoffs. We never know how
far, will going to depend on how they will perform in the next round.

That winning streak might continue for a while as the next 2 games are just easy, especially the Spurs who are not in a good ranking now. I'm surprise with this team, I thought the real problem is Kyrie, but he proved me wrong, it was indeed the coach who was the problem, and now they are living based on our expectation.

They are a very exciting team to watch, they are the only team now with a long winning streak, 76ers had a long win streak too but their win streak was already over, now all eyes are on the Nets because they are winning games even on games that they are not in control, they know how to come back to win.

I think Nash would have been fine along with the Nets if they just gave them some time.

I have to agree with this but the Nets are under pressure as they really need to consider what's the best thing to do that will benefit the whole team.

If only they can keep Nash and Durant at the same time, things will go smoothly. A personal problem between them that is not exactly mentioned and surely no solutions to solve that not unless there is someone that needed to be let go.

Moving forward, seems the Nets are now slowly seeing the results of their decision. Hope to keep it that way.

We only did hear the issue between Durant and Nash from insider news, neither really claim or denied that there is some friction between them. But in the end, Nash has to make a sacrifice and after he left we didn't hear anything negative from Durant.

But let's be honest, after Nash left the team is in better shape now. So the decision is good for the Nets management to fire him and then kept Durant and Irving for at least this season as they have the longest running streak now if I'm not mistaken. And it's going to be a great run for them if ever they go the Eastern conference finals because they were close 2 years ago.

Obviously, it's very different for any team to play in the road and if you don't have your number one scorer then life is hard against the thousand of fans cheering against you in a arena, very hostile crowd.

But I do think that the Warriors will just have to get a good win in the road vs a top team, just one win and they sure will get back their confidence winning away from home. And hopefully the second unit will bring his confidence as well on the road to help Poole and Klay Thompson offensively.

They are very impressive on their recent wins at home, without Curry, they still manage to win. Also, there was one game where Thompson rested, they still win, that's really impressive. however, I'm concerned about their road record, because as good as they are at their home, they are playing worst when they are on the road.

Probably it is a problem if they are winning at home but losing on the road is surely bothersome I think the Warriors without Curry can not do it, Jordan Poole is used in the limelight with the cheering fans with him, but surely for a player hearing negative things with your crown could surely affect your performance and your productivity, this is a psychological thing with basketball and I think Stephen Curry has already clear those tendencies when playing on the road now it is time for Jordan Poole to clear his head up and try to be out of the open for once,

Quote from: Sanitough on December 31, 2022, 10:41:07 AM

Yes, their road record is very disappointing, that's why I'm just happy when they are playing at home as their winning rate is very high.
These are their stats. https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/golden-state-warriors/records

2022-23 RECORD SPLITS
CATEGORY     WINS   LOSSES   WIN %
Home Games   16     2     88.9
Road Games   3     16     15.8

It's almost the opposite of their home record, that's what we don't see. So you are right, they need to fix this problem too.

I really think they already know about this problem and talking about things to do about the road games, those consecutive wins for the Golden State Warriors was impressive with the way Jordan Poole handle the ball but can he conquer the feeling of playing on the road, I think there are some players that when the spotlight was on them they tend to be not in their usual performance of he is just playing uncomfortably on the road games, this is a problem that needed a solution and fast,

Great moment between Kevin Durant and a 12 year old fan during today’s Nets game, which they won. She was holding a sign that said, “KD is my GOAT pick, sorry MJ, I’m only 12.” When Durant spotted the sign he smiled and nodded to the fan, probably making her night. You can take a look at the interaction in the clip in the below tweet (link).

So sweet. Just a nod will definitely make my whole year too, or maybe my whole life. Cheesy

The sad part is when you read the comment section on that tweet. Too many KD haters throwing their bad opinions.

Like this one dude.

KD is not top 100, yeah right. Tell that to the 11th winning streak. Cheesy

5 straight wins for the Pelicans.
After defeating the 76ers today, they just had their 5th winning streak, we saw how they struggled two weeks ago and even had a 4 losing streak but now they are back on track.
Even without Brandon Ingram back yet they still manage to win. CJ McCollum stepping up his game way above the expectation of many, Zion Williamson's offensive stats is still growing and their bench players contributing on the defensive end.
This team really has a deep roster and now they are on the top of the Western Conference again tied with the Denver Nuggets.

Right, this game is a big test for them, and then win it, which means that this team is for real this season. Just wait till BI becomes healthy again and it's hard to beat this team. Seems that this year, they really blending and CJ acquisition is paying off. And so is Zion losing that extra pounds and become a dominate force that we expect him to be. So gonna be a tough West conference, they are going to be in the bunch for the first top 4 spot, competitive is on the roof on who wanted it more to remain the top 1.

Oh yes, when BI comes back it will be a much different Pelicans. Wide options for their offense and BI is not a glass cannon too because he can do defense impressively with his long reach. A big plus for them on both ends of the floor.
I already made a bet for them to be champions before the season started, it will win x33 if ever it comes true.

They won't let a great player go so the choice is only the coach being fired but I still disagree that Nash was a bad coach, it just didn't work out well for them.
Utah Jazz has Will Hardy who is just 34 years old and yet he is being respected by veterans like Conley and Gay.
Nash should think about applying for a younger team.

Poor Bulls, they made a huge comeback against the Cavs, but feel short when DeRozan missed a jumper in the dying seconds.

This team needs to play solid 48 minutes of basketball and not just allowed the other team to make a run, even having a good 3 point shooting night against them. And the probably this kind of games are so frustrating to them and that is why we heard rumors of either Zach Lavine or DeRozan wanted to get out of the system because it is not working.

Surely, we haven't got any thought about Nash's lack of experience as a head coach because we're too focused to the three drama queen that has been making headlines ever since they teamed up, after all, it was just Nash who can't control the superstars in his stable that he was once under his watch. I'm just glad that the Nets management managed to have the correct choice and keeping Durant in-exchange of freeing Nash. Made some sense why KD has been quite after firing Nash.

I still think Steve Nash is a good coach, maybe the Nets is not for him with veterans all over their roster. If given one more chance to lead a young team he will surely learn more on how to keep everything under control and maybe that will also add to his experience on how to manage them.
KD and Kyrie, two stars, veterans in the league, they want a respected coach or someone who will just stay silent if they both want the game to be in their shoulders when it's needed.
No play required, just give them the ball.

Why isn't Steve Nash considered a respected coach ? I don't really know how he is viewed / perceived by the league overall, but lets say he's not a respected coach, then I'd certainly agree with you that they need to hire someone whom is. However, hiring a coach who will stay silent and just let the superstars play and do whatever they want, I don't think that is the right way to go about getting this team closer to a championship. If they don't respect the coach, then that will ruin the entire teams chemistry.

I understand what you're trying to get into, I know you're just trying to say that these superstars should learn to respect whoever their coach is rather than letting them to dictate the whole game while running wild and loose, also, they should control their ego once they have any misunderstanding with their coach. But I'm also thinking that maybe that's not the case here, Kevin Durant is probably not that fool to make the management choose if there's really no issue. Maybe, just maybe, former head coach Steve Nash doesn't know how to control the superstars and to guide them properly. Because what we're seeing right now is that the Nets are in a much comfortable situation without Steve Nash in the equation.

It's still the first quarter of the season. A lot of teams take awhile to get into a groove and feel theor team put to see what works and what doesn't. Kyrie didn't ay a lot last year and needed some time. I think Nash would have been fine along with the Nets if they just gave them some time.

My team Bulls with another important victory that keep them in last play-off spot and if they will keep it like this , I think play-offs are locked in for now and only a big mistake from them could out turn this result.

That was an important victory but too early to be worried if they will be able to be eligible in the playoffs. Even at the current 10th position, the Eastern Conference is not that heavily stacked and even the worst can make it to the Top 8 spot.

Zach Lavine just previously put up big numbers but rumor says that the Bulls want to trade him.

The reasons might be inconsistency or maybe, since Lavine is currently valued as a decent player, the Bulls will have the chance to acquire top-level role players if they market him. Besides, DeRozan's consistent performance should be accompanied by consistent teammates too.

How about LeBron James tonight. Even Kevin Durant had to tweet about the performance for the old guy. He put up 47 points on 66% shooting from the field and 75% from 3-point range to go along with 10 rebounds and 9 assists. A shame he didn’t get that last assist for the triple double just for the extra effect. Great to see the second oldest guy to touch the court this year still getting it done.

To be honest, I bet against the Lakers as I think that the Hawks are going to win at their homecourt. They even take a good 10 point lead if I'm not mistaken in the first half. But suddenly Lebron has that one of the nights wherein he is on the zone, almost a triple double.

Still though the record of Kareem is for Lebron to break this season, the way he is scoring and playing at high level even at his 20th season, could be the one of the greatest achievement in NBA this season.

Well these days I believe it would be crazy to bet on the Lakers lol (just kidding)

I already commented here about the situation of the Lakers, without AD and the team without chemistry, they will hardly be able to advance in the playoffs, that is, if they manage to qualify.

They have solid young rooster already so hopefully their management will not think about trading them since for sure there's a lot of potential for them to get more better each year. And Zion need to take care of his weight since if he really want to stay on the league for long term he needs to get manageable weight so that he will not get hit by a serious injury that can possibly ruin his career.

His weight is okay, that's where he is very effective, if that's an issue, then it's easy for Zion to reduce his weight because they have all the trainers to make it possible at a soonest time. Injury is the problem of Zion, but as he learn to manage himself well on the floor, things will be brighter for his team.

I think his weight and his likelihood of injury are part of the same issue. He moves so fast and has so much weight to throw around, it's not like he has superhuman bones or anything. He can break things or tear tendons extremely easily when he's up around 300lbs and jumping from the free throw line. So while he may be more dominant with a bigger size while he's on the floor, I think maximizing his time on the floor will require him to slim down, even if it's not what is best for his game. Otherwise he'll be out of the league much faster than I'd like to see.

I don't see that coming too. I was in the impression that Hawks will protect their home court crowd, but LeBron comes out and bring
the challenge in his shoulder.

What a nice gift to himself in his 38th birthday, I see in him that he's really aiming to break Kareem's record and that's not by far with
how he is playing the game.

Stat's wise he's really capable in breaking that record.

It's worth noting that many players his age no longer have the health or desire to perform so well. So the outcome of this game is just another proof that LeBron is a phenomenal player. As for Kareem's record, LeBron only has 527 points left to break it. That means if LeBron continues to perform as well as he has in recent games, it will take him less than 20 games to become the all-time scoring player in NBA history.

Lebron will break the record no doubt. Doesn't matter when, but I think records should be broken down by decades or changed when new rules are introduced. Kareem had played 3/4ths of his career by the time 3 pointers were added in the NBA not that he would have shot many, but Lebron has shot and made a ton.

The source of his injury is his weight. The Pelicans already acknowledge that and placed a clause in his contract that he should maintain a certain weight and have his body fat monitored. But even at 284 lbs, he is still a tank and unstoppable inside. Hopefully, with the help of his weight control, he will be able to remain healthy for the rest of the season. The Pelicans need him to move past the playoffs or at least past the first round.

Age is just a number for Lebron, I also lose my bet in this game as I was thinking it will be an easy win for the home team. Just like how the Heat beat the Lakers, I was thinking of the same outcome, unfortunately, it was the other way around. Congrats to Lebron, he still look like he is on his prime, his production this season just prove that he still has a lot left in his tank.

Discuss this somewhere else in social media basketball pages and groups and you'll get a lot of bashing for saying that about Lebron.

I don't know where these people are getting the nerves to hate the guy. He's still on shape and investing a lot for his physical status.

Whether we like it or not, hate him or love him, he's on the better status and we're not better than him. This is the fact that those haters wouldn't accept.

That is social media, it does not matter if he is doing good or bad, there will always be bashers and haters. One good thing for Lebron is he does not respond to these haters. He is not like other stars who respond to every hater instead of just focusing on their game.
