Wow, I have never watched the Bucks but I am impressed in their standing right now. If they keep winning without their superstars, this will be a very scary team comes the playoffs. Do you think it will be their peak this season? Will they win another championship this year?

Actually, Milwaukee Bucks are really doing great even without their superstars every season.

We are seeing them being always a Favorite even when Giannis is out or some of their good role players won't play. That's how good this team is.

Will they win another championship this year? Not sure but they can repeat it and I believed on that.

The Milwaukee Bucs are pretty solid but if they didn’t have Giannis they certainly wouldn’t have any chance at winning a championship. Perhaps they might be able to compete well enough to make the playoffs, especially in the weaker division that they are in, but I don’t see them being able to get very far without the Greek Freak.

No doubt about that, take Giannis out of the equation and the Milwaukee Bucks will surely fall apart and won't seriously afford to get a seat on the playoffs. But the good thing about them is that they are still reliable enough and can still be a threat to the league even though Giannis is resting or acquired an injury. Though that only applies to a much weaker team.

If we are talking about semis might be hard for them to reach that level without Giannis, as we know that the east side
also composed of tough opponents.

But playoff the chance is possible since they still have Holiday and Middleton who can help
the team to win games, just so happen that if we discuss about the semis and finals that kind of competitions
is really tougher than the regular and the first round of the playoff.

Lebron James must be pretty angry with the team now. Because the team are still a mess as it is seen clearly from their results so far. They have won only 2 out of 10 games. Lebron is still doing his best and performing strongly despite being 37 years old. But the team are still struggling to get wins just as it was in the previous season.

Westbrook is still here. Lakers should have traded him with a more talented and consistent guard. If Lakers insist on not making the right transfer moves there is no way they are saving themselves out of this mess.

The only news I'm waiting is that Lebron James will request a trade and seriously I won't be shocked if that happens because this situation he's in is the least thing he should want, at his age, I know he still wanted to win another championship before he depart the league and he won't get that in his current situation. What I'm thinking is he might go back to Miami where Butler is.

He just signed an extension so he cannot be traded until the 2023 season. Even if he wanted out, he still needs to play this season. And I think he is committed to the Lakers and he likes LA. I do not think he would request a trade even though there is already a fake Twitter post asking for a trade and wants to go back to Cavs. I think he would be retiring in LA uniform. The team just needs to find a way to win with their current roster because I do not see any roster change soon. If the Jazz can find wins without superstars, the Lakers should be able to find wins too since they have 3 superstars.

I think that is given. Any team without their superstar is not going to the playoffs, aside from the Jazz, maybe. Luckily, Giannis does not have an injury that will sideline him for a long time and Middleton will be back soon. The Bucks will back to a winning streak soon.

It is unbelievable what Bucks players are doing even without Giannis and Kris Middleton at the same time. I mean this team is keep winning games and they are missing their 2 best players. I used to think that Bucks was great thanks to Giannis, and even believed that Giannis alone couldn't do much if Kris didn't help so much with the scoring.

Now.. well I am not so sure, apparently Bucks is already good and Giannis is of course 2 time MVP and having a third MVP season nowadays, but that doesn't mean it’s like Lebron in Cavs and when you take him they sucked type of deal, it is actually good even without their MVP caliber player and that’s an amazing thing.

Yes, their team doesn't rely heavily on Giannis's presence and that's what makes them an impressive team because the remaining players have already proven that they can still get a win even without their MVP star and Khris Middleton, as we all know, this team is already seasoned by the time and the depth of their bond are more than enough to trust each other, just like what the Celtics have.

No, I don't think so. He will stay as a Laker and will end it as a Laker.
It's not him who is the problem, it's the choices made by the Lakers management in picking players to surround him.
He had one good team before composed of veteran and young players. That's what he needs because Lebron is not the same as the Cavaliers Lebron anymore, he is more of a playmaker and he is good at it.
But he needs players who will fill the hole of what he lacks. Speed, defense, shooting capability (the sharpshooter type), and someone who will handle the same way he does when he needs a break.

It appears like the Atlanta Hawks is on rhythm once again. After a 3-win streak, then defeated by Jazz, but now they got a win again versus the 76ers.
Their big challenge to start a win streak again will be Bucks and Celtics.

As of the moment, they are a strong playoffs team and surely will gonna be a problem in the NBA playoffs if they remained to play such a high-level performance. As of now they are in the top 4 and strongly keeping that rank by defeating competitive teams in the league. That's right! if they can show that they can defeat these next teams with their current strategy, they will gonna make them play hard in the NBA playoffs this season. Both are Eastern Conference teams which is more likely we will see a preview of what would gonna happen when they face each other in the playoffs.

Hawks are good but Sixers owned them in the playoffs, well, hopefully we will see some big improvement but Sixers play well in the playoffs especially if Embiid is healthy. Lots of teams that would be a surprise this season, good example is the Jazz in the West, and maybe the Bulls will make a huge surprise, who knows.

If they can beat both Boston and Bucks in regular season might be possible that they will face them in the next round,
it's tough to say since it's still in the early stage of this season.

Everything can happen especially upsetting the heavy favorites or maybe just like how Boston surprises the fans last
season when they win a lot after the All-Star.

Let see if how Hawks will execute the plays when facing the heavy favorites in the East sides.

Utah Jazz again with a win. Good job for this young team and their young coach Will Hardy. His player rotation is fine, but it needs some tweaks.
I saw Clarkson one time getting frustrated with Kelly Olynyk because he is not passing the ball while Clarkson is asking for it, and when he did, it's a turnover.

They're doing a good job and their standing is 10-3. They're up against the Wizards on Sunday while against the 76ers on Monday. So, starting today, they'll be having a good rest for the weekend until Sunday and be prepared for two straight games. Kessler did a good job for his entire playing time. These big men of Utah Jazz really are doing well whenever they're being used. This how it should be for the other teams that has big men.

That's good news indeed. I am a little worried about them facing the Wizards though, we just saw them defeat the Dallas Mavericks.
Kyle Kuzma is not someone to mess with anymore unlike when he was in the Lakers.
Worse, they don't even have the unicorn in that game Kristaps Porzingis. They will need all the energy they could get from that long rest before that big game with the Wizards.

Hawks though has been always a good team, but it seems that they have found their groove again and having their own winning streak. It was a big test against the 76ers and they win the game even with Joel Embiid having a good game.

That's the biggest surprised, Wizards with Kuzma being the leading upsetting Luka and his Mavericks. It just really shows that even without KP or Beal, they can still muster a big win if they will play both offense and defense. They again like the Magic, limited Luka and not having his usual game.

It's because the Bucks are a well-rounded team that's why they are playing great at the start of the season.

They have defenders, they have rim protectors, they have a dominant big like Giannis, an army of elite three-point shooters, they also have good role players. I mean what else do you find with the Bucks right now. Maybe they need Middleton but even without him, they are very good already.

Maybe let's add the fact that they are playing well in their first games because they are up against teams that aren't that great, and some are below 500 as well. Bucks almost got in the NBA Finals last season if only they didn't lose to the Celtics and they are the defending champions at that time. There aren't that many changes in their roster either. They are good as a whole team and will be a title contender this season as well

It was a job well done. But they were against a weak team though. They will visit the San Antonio Spurs tomorrow, another winnable or 50/50 game for them even without Giannis. I will only give them huge credit if they can beat the Atlanta Hawks at Milwaukee this coming Tuesday without Giannis.

Yes, but still the credit is to the Bucks and their coach to be able to adjust and play good defense, Lopez is really playing good as well in replacement of Giannis. I guess that's what you get when you have players playing for so long and even win a championship. It's in their DNA to win games with or without Giannis.

So it's a winnable game for them against the Spurs, not sure though if they can cover that spread, although currently, it's just +/-1.5.

Meaning going to be very close game as per the bookies.

This is the results for today's game

Washington Wizards VS Dallas Mavericks SCORE 113 - 105 - LOST

I really don't know what happened but the Mavericks losing to the Wizard is really unthinkable and just like the match against the Orlando Magic Luka Doncic is down again with just 22 points, It is really unusual but I guess the Mavericks was on the lead at 1st but Kyle Kuzma just not wading from his goals in turning the tables, and surely the defense on Luka Doncic was really tight so he can not make a great pass or does another lead for the mavericks, but Unexpected that the Mavericks should have won over Magic and the Wizards,

Atlanta Hawks VS Philadelphia 76ers SCORE 104 - 95 - LOST

Well, the 76ers were hanging on until the opportunity hasn't come for them, but maybe James Harden was badly needed in the team, Joel Embiid just didn't cut as a one-man army after all, but with a double-double performance or 13 rebounds, and 26 points, it was not enough to De'Andre Hunter's 14 points, Clint Capela's double-double of 20 rebounds and 18 points and Trae Young's 26 points, in winning the game,

New Orleans Pelicans VS Portland Trail Blazers SCORE 95 - 106 - WIN

Zion Williamson is really not enough with the tandem of Anfernee Simon's 23 points and Jerami Grant's 27 points in making the Trail Blazers win against the Pelican which is many think that the Pelicans can win this,

Do you think Clarkson and Markkanen and be an all star? or just one of them?

I like how the Jazz are performing this season so far but I would have to say no at this point. This would be the first time that they are the main guys in a team if I'm not mistaken so there's more to prove as far as all-star is concerned.

........

Lebron will be missing the game against the Kings. Their opponent isn't doing well either but I don't expect them to win without their best player so it's a likely 2-10 standing later hehe. Handicap anyone - Lakers +5.5 or Kings -5.5?

Looking at paper, without Lebron, I guess Kings -5.5 will be an easy bet for us. Lakers is in disarray right now, and they are only good in the first 2 quarters.

While the Kings mentality is very different right now, although they are like 4-6, majority of their loses are close games and less than 10 points if I'm not mistaken. And they didn't get the benefit of the calls. And with that, I will have to go with the Kings in this game.

I agree with you and of course, I like that pick, but actually, the betting spread now is now -5.5 but -3.5 only if you will bet on the Sacramento Kings. It's a better spread that -5.5, so this one should be one of my tickets tomorrow.

Giannis alone is very difficult to stop. Provide him with 4 players that can shoot anywhere and they are still good. Kris Middleton though is a big factor when it comes to the playoffs where the real game begins.

Without their star players, that will make the team more prepared in a battle, and this win would prove that they are not only good because of Giannis but because they are a team, just like the Jazz, there's no supertar but as a team they are good that's why they keep winning games.

It is evident by now that Irving is the problem, but it's good that Durant is not affected by it and just choose to play his game and bring the team to win against their rival the Knicks. But still though, Durant will need to have a lot of help if he wanted to bring a championship to Brooklyn. I don't think that Simmons can give him, they did a big man as well in the middle and a steady point guard. Also a breathe of fresh air with a new coach could also be motivating Durant.

He did get help from Seth Curry and then there's Sumner.
I think it got better because now KD can get the ball anytime he wants, unlike when Kyrie was there where he would get the ball from inbound and shoot it himself at the other end of the floor. Waste of energy from his teammates to go down that far if they cannot even touch the ball or let the play work.
I prefer this roster they have, but they need to be healthy all season long until they achieve a spot for the playoffs.

The Pelicans' loss against the Trail Blazers, it's not a good sign for the start of their 6 straight home games.
