Luka has nothing to prove just to get the attention because he is already a star player and the best candidate for MVP this season. As an individual player, Luka is at the top 3, but he needs to win a championship first in order to be lined with the greats in NBA.

I see Luka is making a great adjustment, his teammates are getting better now and that resulted in a better team.
Luka this game against the Nuggets does not score so high, but look at the other factors, he still tallies a very impressive triple double. (10 rebounds, 12 assists, and 22 points)

I think you don't need to be a champion in the past just to win the MVP award because Jokic has never been a champion and he won the MVP award in 2 consecutive years. Luka needs to win more games in an outstanding performance and exceed his past records as well and score more points to be able to climb up and stay in the number 1 ranking for MVP. He has been playing very well since the start of the season and only in this game today did he score less than 30 points for their win.

Same with WB and Harden, they didn't win a title but a regular season MVP. Luka is not far from winning that MVP award/s he just needs to keep improving and have more winning games with outstanding performances.
I like the way he played the game and no doubt the young star is really doing everything for the
fans, his skill sets are extraordinary, just need more help as basketball is a team effort even you
are the best player if you don't have the right pieces inside your squad, winning a title will still
be far from you.

Luka is a great player. But to win titles you need to have a good team. Having only one really capable player on the team is not going to be enough to win a title. And that’s why I believe even though this 23-year-old is on his way to greatness, he is still going to need a team. A team that will be able to support him well as well as have excellent chemistry between them.

Yes, Luka is someone who can contribute to the team on a regular basis. But he will need players to back him up whenever he is having an off day.

It's already proven that you need someone to help you out to win championship. Shaq-Kobe, Bron with Wade in Miami and Bosh and then Irving in Cavs. Recently, the Warriors, Steph, Klay and Draymond. And then role players to fit the pieces.

For the case of Luka, it's all role players, no one has become the number two or number three scoring options. They are all spread out in the 3's waiting for Luka to give them an assists. But they still have to make that shot outside otherwise it will be hard for them to win.

If he's teammate got faint hearted like what happen today where its very crucial and his teammates missed those crucial free throws then maybe it could change everything to them. Maybe they need to be confident for their selves and be confident since this will be their key to reach up to the finals. Their team is already have potential and Luka really need help especially on dying minutes which his teammates need to step up.

The Cavs seem to be the favorite since they play in their home arena, and they already beat the Lakers a month ago. However, both teams have been performing well lately, considering the Lakers have won 8 of their last 10 games while the Cavs have won 7 of their last 10 games. So, this game should be more interesting and more competitive. I wonder if the Cavs will be able to hold off LeBron and Davis this time.

Who knows what's happened with Davis, is he sick? He only played 8 minutes and Ham said he had a fever. It's a big loss for the Lakers considering how he's played in recent games. Definitely the team missed him in the game with the Cavaliers, I hope that he will recover quickly and return to the game as soon as possible, in recent games he showed how important he is for the team.

There's no easy way for them to get into the playoffs even if they perform better even though they are in good shape right now and AD is a beast recently still no guarantee for them to place on playoffs automatically. Remember many teams are so strong and also AD is injury prone so they need to be consistent and healthy so that they can reach their target and will not get another big upset on their careers.

Hmm, what you said is something interesting and valid.
I imagine that this season the Lakers are performing better than the previous season and therefore I imagine that they may have a great chance of reaching the playoffs in this season.
As I said in a previous post, it will be necessary to wait and see what will actually happen.
With the Lakers roster, I believe, LeBron James, AD, Beverley and Westbrook will be an important key for the Lakers, because I have no doubt that they are good players, but they have a lot of experience, mainly LJ, and experience could be a crucial factor for the Lakers during the playoffs (of course, if they reach that step)

But the problem is they are planning to trade Westbrook and Beverly so I guess this will cause a huge trouble to them. Maybe they should stop the trading discussion since this could destroy the focus of their players and maybe they need to develop what currently they have since this is strong team already. The main problem of Lakers is they are impatient to wait for improvements as they want instant result on their campaign.

I think the management are not discussing it openly to the player, that's why some players got surprised when they get traded. It was the NBA insiders who are making these rumors publicly. That WB trade continues to become a rumor since he landed in LA and played terribly because he can't find his rythm to blend in to the team. The Lakers are actually a scary team if LeBron, AD, and WB is 100% healthy. They just need a little more time to click, and yeah the management might be a little impatient and discontented as they traded away most of their championship roster.

Another star who knows how to adjust and will be willing to serve as backup for Luka. I mean a go-to guy who is willing to sacrifice
stats to win alongside with Luka.

The kid is really doing everything but against a heavy equipped squad it will be tough for him
to carry his whole team.

I like the idea of bringing star with additional role players who can also add up in both offenses
and defense that will surely increase the chance of chasing the title for Luka and the Mavs.

But who is willing to do that, most young guns want a spotlight of their own, but if Luka Doncic would be so kind of sharing that maybe it will work, but surely Luka Doncic's mindset is not like just an average NBA player he surely wants the limelight for himself and be the face of Mavericks as long as he can,

For me, they can surely put a player that is winning to be the shadow of Luka Doncic, and not having a dream of becoming an all-star just to win with Luka Doncic and the team, and right now Jalen Brunson has surely made the right decision in getting on board with the New York Knicks, he got to really show what he is truly capable of, and without Luka Doncic's help,

Yes, this is something relevant!
It's in difficult when a player or team needs to give their best, but sometimes unforeseen events can happen.
In the case of the Lakers, one of the main factors affecting the team is chemistry, another relevant point is the injuries that some Lakers players had during this season.

Tuesday night on TNT has a lot of superstar power on tonight's doubleheader. First you have the Lakers and Cavaliers. Always a good matchup when LeBron takes on Cleveland. The Lakers have been playing great lately too so that game might be surprising. The Cavs are favored to win by 5.5.

An 8-point lead going to halftime by the Cavaliers.

As I look at the stat sheet, I was surprised with 2 things. One is it seems like this night is Jarrett Allen's night as he scored 22 points in the first half and their main scorer Mitchell scored 14 points only. The second one is, after that monstrous 55 points against the Wizards, Davis only scored only 1 point in the first half. Take note, 1 point and their highest scorer is Lebron, and some bench player named Thomas Bryant with 11 points each. Well, he is probable coming into the game, and he only played 8 minutes in the first half so that might be the reason. I'll go with Cavaliers on this one.

As of the Anthony Davis 1 point in first half, that's because he just forced himself to play tonight but actually, he is having flu.
He went out early in the 1st quarter and won't be back the whole game. Sorry for the Lakers fan and those who bet for them.
The good part is if he will be able to play tomorrow against Toronto Raptors.
That's their 4th road game of 6. AD would be better to just rest it out, I know they need the W's but it would be worst if he keeps on forcing it.
Cleveland is on their way to closing this game with a double-digit win.

1 more game later for the TNT doubleheader. Funny Shaq at halftime. Grin

Without Davis in most of the game Lakers still remained competitive, but now we saw how important Davis is, without him then I guess Lakers will start tanking again. Davis injury was not so serious though, so hopefully he will be back in a couple of games so their effort will not be wasted.

The Mavs just played yesterday against the Suns and that's a pretty intense matchup so I'm guessing they may be a step slow today. With the Nuggets also 5.5 point favorites I think everyone else is expecting them to win also. Gametime in about 45 minutes.

The Boston Celtics have rich 20 wins today and they are staying at the top because of their teamwork and the way they played they easily outscored the raptors because they haven't figured out how to stop their offense. It was a hard battle in the first half and when they reached the second half, the Celtics completely controlled the game. They still have the chance in the fourth quarter but they cannot stop the raining threes that are sinking every time they attempt to make a comeback. Looks like Blake Griffin found himself in a good team that might be a championship competitor.

The Celtics' current results are impressive, although I didn't expect Mazzulla to do even better than Udoka last season. However, good results in the regular season still don't guarantee anything, and I think it's too early to say that the Celtics might be able to reach the Finals again. It seems to me the Eastern Conference playoff competition may be more intense this season compared to last season's playoffs.

They didn't change much of the roster and it's good that they didn't bite on the Kevin Durant sweepstakes, otherwise it will be a complete team right now.

Of course it doesn't guarantee anything in the playoff, they can still be upset by other teams, but at least they have been consistent throughout even though there is a chance of coach, although might be just the name, but the style of play of Celtics is still the same for me. Mazzulla inherited much of the plays that Udoka might have set up for this Celtics team that's why they are still thriving.

Perhaps him being the assistant coach has really help him a lot now because he knows the system that Ime built and probably just putting finishing touches on it with his own style. And that's usually happen though to teams who made it to the finals, they just want to continue and move forward and really looking at this season because they know that they are very close they went 0-2 against the Warriors, but the lack of experience might have put a lot of pressure on them that time. But now same team, and almost same system, that's why Celtics are booming.

The Mavericks seem to have the Suns number. They shut down Booker and Luka goes off whenever they play. I think the Suns better figure out how to rectify this before the postseason rolls around.

Yeah, I think it's more of a mind games between the two and so far Luka has the advantage against the Suns. I think the memory of last years playoff between the two is still fresh and the Phoenix can't shake of the memory of Luka just toying with them in that series as they can't stop him.

How about the double overtime game between the 76ers and Rockets that the Rockets won. I’m guessing that’s not what Sixers fans were expecting going into this game…

Not also the result that we all expecting as bettors lost their money including myself betting on the 76ers in the handicap as we thought that they have the advantage against the young Rockets team.

As we all know, this MVP ladder is updating every single week and it's not surprising that Anthony Davis's name has surfaced on the list after his good productions and their team, the Lakers, has been impressive as well for having a 8-2 run in the last 10 games. Together with Davis's name, Sabonis also appeared in the top 10 in the expense of Ja Morant and Jaylen Brown.

Yes, it does change weekly and it will be an unpredictable season on who will be on the top of that ladder.
I am rooting for Luka Doncic to claim it, I am super amazed at how skillful he is and how he can handle everything, from offense to being the playmaker of the team. Although that will be a little biased since I am a fan of his. Cheesy

But Tatum seems to be not backing down yet who now averages at 30 ppg, the rebounding category will make a big difference as Luka gets more rebound every game.

To be fair Luka getting it at this age would be proof of 2 things. First of all, any team who passed on him made a huge mistake, that is already known to be fair, but it was obvious even at that time, but would be confirmed now as well.

Secondly, Dallas needs to do a better job surrounding him with better players as well, this kid has been around for just a few years now, and already playing like he would win a championship if you just put the right pieces around him, and that is a big deal, not many people can do that, not at that age at least. He should be given a bit of talent around him, maybe another star, so that he could win the title and his talents wouldn't go to waste.

Another star who knows how to adjust and will be willing to serve as backup for Luka. I mean a go-to guy who is willing to sacrifice
stats to win alongside with Luka.

The kid is really doing everything but against a heavy equipped squad it will be tough for him
to carry his whole team.

I like the idea of bringing star with additional role players who can also add up in both offenses
and defense that will surely increase the chance of chasing the title for Luka and the Mavs.
