What an intense 4th Quarter battle between the Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks.

Starting from around the 6-7 minute mark, every play of both team are crucial and a mistake can cost a turnaround event. It's like every possession is a must. Both teams also show good offense and they are literally exchanging leads. Everyone will be impressed too with how both teams show their good defense, especially those amazing blocks. Damn Giannis. He is really no doubt unstoppable and even defended well, he really nailing those shots at the paint. However, the Lakers were able to maintain their good phase until the final buzzer.

Actually, there's a chance for the Bucks to force an OT after Russel Westbrook missed his last free throw (he will surely be criticized if the Lakers lose that game even though his overall game is good ) and when Giannis grab the ball on their possession, he should not think twice to attack the paint as he is unstoppable and might draw a foul for a 3-point play. But instead, he passed it to Holiday for a 3-point attempt to tie the game but failed to do so.

I didn't expect that the Lakers would win, I mean Bucks were the heavy favorites in that game and they are hosting the Lakers. It was Davis and Lebron who carried this team but I'm afraid Davis might be prone to injury as he contribute very hard for the win, I can't imagine seeing Davis getting injured again, God forbib.

It was great effort for the whole Lakers squad, especially the big 3. Westbrook had himself a good game too filling the stat sheet with a double-double, and that underrated play down the stretch, where he dive for the ball and forced a turn over against Middleton, that also gave them a comfortable 5 point lead. Not the best defensive effort for the Lakers team as they primarily focused they're defense against Giannis, but they have a good offense too. So surprising to see Lebron and WB without a turnover.

I think when they have a good lead, the Lakers become comfortable at least unlike the Pacers games, they keep it solid all throughout the 4th quarter.

James main man is Giannis and I will say that he put a good effort guarding him although it's hard to stop a player like Giannis. AD is has on fire in his last 6 games or so, another numbers deserving to be a MVP. WB as well contributed in this game but he missed a FT, but still a win is a win for them.

I wasn't able to watch the full game between the Bucks and the Lakers.

But I was impressed with the Lakers against a top team in Bucks, they took the lead and never choke in the early stages of the 3rd quarter when the Bucks is about to make a run, on the contrary, Milwaukee took the lead but Lebron and AD and some players keeps the Lakers afloat on this game.

As usual Davis has a monster game with 44 points againt Giannis 40 points.

Surprisingly, both teams didn't have injured players and had their full, ideal rosters. With Khris Middleton's return, Bucks will be even better but it will take some time for him to play at his full capacity. I agree with your point, Lebron and AD did really good when Bucks were about to get ahead. Lebron's almost triple double and Russell Westbrook's good performance with 11 assist really helped them to get this important win. And I think Lakers wanted to send a message to everyone and they succeeded. If they were not affected by injuries so much, people wouldn't have made fun of them. And Anthony Davis... What a good player. Even though I personally don't like Lakers so much, I want to see a good Lakers like this for whole league's sake.

The big3 of Lakers finally show confidence playing together, a monstrous game for AD leading the offense, with a healthy physical condition he really can do the damage.

But the good thing here is Westbrook adjust a lot
Showing threats both in assist and offense.

While LeBron as we know the man he will provide plus the role players who all working hard to help.

Ya, that was quite an upset but not totally unexpected. LeBron James and Anthony Davis are capable of beating any team on any given night. What was a little more surprising for me tonight was the Houston Rockets beating the Phoenix Suns by a point even though Devon Booker had myself a great night and put up 41 points on 25 shots…

Oh, I didn't see that game ending although I was about to bet for the Rockets in 1st half while they are down by 8, I think the spread was +14.5 at that time. Man, what a waste, I should've never doubted my instincts.

Yeah, that was quite a game.
We have 4 intense games that happened today and 4 upsets.
The Lakers won against the Bucks.
Charlotte Hornets won against the Wizards.
Houston Rockets won against the Suns. - biggest upset. This was +10.5, pre-game.
Miami Heat won against the Celtics - a lot of gamblers are dragged on this loss as the Celtics are expected to keep the streak.

I’m sure it’ll take Middleton a while to get back in the swing of things for the Bucks so maybe the Lakers will take advantage and find themselves another win. You can watch the game in ESPN tonight followed by the Bulls and Warriors.

The Detroit Pistons keep finding ways to win games they shouldn’t while maintaining one of the worst records in the NBA. They’re really screwing up some bets.

And the Lakers did take advantage of it.
Khris Middleton ended with 17 points 3/4 3pt. Not bad stats for his return after a long time.
High scoring game, I missed betting for the over total score, should've expected that as both teams are not playing well in defense. If I remember correctly it was 232.
Anthony Davis, another monster game but now focused on the offensive. 44 points and only 10 rebounds unlike his past games with 15+ rebounds that also ends with a win.

As for the Jazz, they aren't really doing good and they are about to jeopardize their chance to be in the NBA playoffs this season. Imagine how they failed to maintain their spot for just a week, getting knockout from the playoff tree because of losing streaks.

You're right. The Jazz's performance has been really awful lately, considering they've only won 3 of their last 10 games. However, it's worth noting that the Jazz is still in 7th place in the Western Conference standings, and it means that if the Jazz's head coach finds a way to improve the performance of the players, the Jazz will still have a chance to reach the playoffs since the end of the regular season is still a long way off.

It was fools gold they were never destined to be a top team just had a hot start. They are stacking draft picks so I'm sure they like to see them end up in the lottery. This team going to the playoffs does nothing but ensure mediocrity. They gave up once they parted with gobert and spida.

It's short notice and really felt bad for him. But this is business, this is the other side of being not the mainstay of an NBA team, even the superstars are having a hard time having that secured contract with the teams that they're part of.
I just wish him that he'll get a better offer and another team that's good at taking care of their players. NBA is a business and whoever wants to have a secured spot and contracts with their team, they really have to stand up whenever they've been given a chance.

Yes, at least when he is with the Lakers, he has that kind of game that we can remember of it. And 10 minutes per night might not be good to show your skills in the NBA. Unfortunately, that is business, Lakers need to adjust as early as this day because they don't want to experience what they've going through last season, no adjustments whatsoever. Hopefully, the one that will replace Matt Ryan could contribute even more as Lakers are slowly finding their groove with Lebron back and healthy and then AD having MVP statistics and WB slowly settling down as 6th man.

Yeah, nothing much to do if it's the decision of the management and they're also struggling and aiming to get into the playoffs so they're trying to do their last resort of having an open spot to have someone that might help them get their way there.
The sacrificial lamb is Matt Ryan and that's it, he's the chosen one by them and hopefully the team that might take him later would be giving him the contract that he deserves like having no clause about waiving because it is going to be an absolute trauma if it does.

Matt has to grind it out for sometime and accept that fact that he has been waived, so not sure if he will be traumatized by that experience, but at least that could be an eye opening for him to really try very hard so that when a team pick him up, he has improved a lot and shouldn't be cut that easy.

But he has a memorable game with the Lakers hitting that corner 3 so I guess he can held his head high with that kind of performance.

Bucks vs Lakers game later. Let see if Lakers can pull a big upset here.

Speaking of the Bucks roster, it looks like Khris Middleton will be back in the lineup for them this Friday against the Lakers. It’s been a long time since the Bucks have had their #2 player. It will certainly make them better.

Yes, the Milwaukee Bucks is indeed looking forward to see Khris Middleton again to make his debut this season on their next game versus the Los Angeles Lakers. I remember that the Bucks already listed him to be missing on their first 20 games because of that injury he sustained last playoffs, I bet they could've at least reach ECF if Middleton wasn't injured.

Expect that the Bucks will be much stronger now that Middleton has returned to the scene and Giannis can now move freely again, although, there might be some adjustments to get him in synch but I reckon that won't take long.

I would guess that there is a good chance he would probably play very limited minutes, and we are not going to see him do anything at all. When players come back from a big injury like this, they don't just end up with a big game, they usually end up playing very badly at first and they will end up with nothing to show for it neither.

This means that we are going to end up with a bit of a trouble in the long run. I am guessing that since we haven't really seen or heard anything major from him about his return, and it is just a normal limited minute game, he will probably defend a bit bad, and shoot a bit bad, and then slowly he will get better and better.

Definitely, he will be under restrictions as what the league is doing right now for those who come in from an injury, like in the course of Kahwi who I think jut played 3 games with limited minutes and then he didn't play because they are afraid that he might aggravate the same injuries.

So let's wait and see, and since the Bucks is doing good with Giannis, they have hte luxury of time in their side not to really push Middleton this season and just to slowly integrate him in their rotation.

Yeah, Middleton's comeback is good news for the Bucks, although it's worth noting that they're performing pretty well even without him, given that they're currently in 2nd place in the Eastern Conference. As for the upcoming game against the Lakers, it should probably be an easy win for the Bucks. Nevertheless, I would prefer to see the Lakers win because by doing so, the Lakers would prove that they aren't a hopeless team and can still beat tough opponents.

That is a tough test that they needed to pass to see if they are indeed not a hopeless team this season and can stand tall against heavy teams on the league. After having an easy win from the powerless and starless Blazers, I hope they will be on their A-game later when they will play versus the Bucks especially that the team's 2nd best is now back after his long rest from the injury he sustained.

This will be an interesting game that I wouldn't want to miss and Lakers are now on road after their back to back home games. Let's see if Bron, AD and the rest of the roster can defeat the much stronger Bucks later.

The monster trio that brought the championship to the Bucks is complete, Middleton, Holiday, and Giannis. That is scary for the competition in the East and the West. Now that Giannis is at its peak, with the help of Khris and Jrue, they are on track to compete in the finals again. Their competition in the East is the duo of Brown and Tatum in the Celtics. These two are monsters as well and just like Giannis are peaking. It will be a great Eastern Conference Finals if these two teams meet. Injuries are the only think that could held these two teams from reaching the Finals.

They are still performing better than other rebuilding teams. San Antonio Spurs are rebuilding as well but they are sitting at 0.273, while the Jazz are at 0.542. Having a winning record while in a rebuilding process, is an achievement. They have a working system and a good coach, imagine what they can achieve if they get a legit superstar in their roster.

Yeah, Middleton's comeback is good news for the Bucks, although it's worth noting that they're performing pretty well even without him, given that they're currently in 2nd place in the Eastern Conference. As for the upcoming game against the Lakers, it should probably be an easy win for the Bucks. Nevertheless, I would prefer to see the Lakers win because by doing so, the Lakers would prove that they aren't a hopeless team and can still beat tough opponents.

But still though, he is part of the pack, their second option, so it's important that he be back in the roster. The East is also very competitive, and it's good that the Bucks maintained their spot, and in the beginning, they have a good run, but the Celtics was able to get back the number 1 seeding from them.

So they need Khris specially in very close game, he is somewhat of a closer and definitely a big help to the Bucks.

And at least, Giannis scoring or at least the pressure on his shoulder to carry that team might be lessen.

As for the Jazz, they aren't really doing good and they are about to jeopardize their chance to be in the NBA playoffs this season. Imagine how they failed to maintain their spot for just a week, getting knockout from the playoff tree because of losing streaks.

You're right. The Jazz's performance has been really awful lately, considering they've only won 3 of their last 10 games. However, it's worth noting that the Jazz is still in 7th place in the Western Conference standings, and it means that if the Jazz's head coach finds a way to improve the performance of the players, the Jazz will still have a chance to reach the playoffs since the end of the regular season is still a long way off.
