Yeah, they choked on the 3rd quarter for which it should be the momentum that they'll be tieing and going away from the lead that has been made to them but it's not.
It seems that they've got no game plan at all and anyone just shoots as if they're a shooter. They really need to let a man handle the outside shooting and they shouldn't be trying hard doing all of it. Look at how Cavs did it, they've got a big man under and can also shoot outside.
Congrats for the first part, wishing good on the next game.

They have third-quarter woes. They were performing very well in the first half of the game, but they are totally dominated in the second half. Their offense is not really good in the third quarter unlike in the first half. They still have a decent defense but that is not enough to win games. Once the Cavs started hitting their shots, the Lakers cannot catch up because they have a very poor offensive game. Their outside shots are not connecting so the Cavs only have to tighten the defense inside the perimeter and the game is over. The same story for the Lakers and I think this will continue unless they find somebody who can shoot outside to spread the defense for them.

First part of my parlay checked. Now the Jazz has to win against the Clippers later.

Another upcoming loss for the Lakers. 3:33 minutes remaining and the score is 109-95. Too much wasted outside shooting from the Lakers while they were given good shots by the Cavs.
These last minutes, no more Lebron, Davis, and Westbrook, they're just giving play time to their bench players. Well, another accepted loss by the Lakers on their home court.

if I'm not mistaken, I believe he wasn't even selected for today's game...
So far it's 15 points apart, I believe the Cavs victory is clearer, despite the fact that AD, LeBron and WestBrook are performing reasonably.

Looks like it's going to be 2-7 after the fourth quarter for the Lakers. Any idea why Pat Bev didn't play?

I remember seeing a post quoting Davis that other NBA teams actually fear them but their standings don't seem to share his opinion. I wonder where he gets all that confidence hehe.

I had even forgotten about today's game, I just turned on the tv to watch Lakers vs Cavs and was surprised by the result (end of third period)
Cavs turned the game around and with a 7-point lead.
Mitchell and Garland combined with 50 points!

Not yet the end. Your boy Donovan Mitchell is doing it. 28 points just for the entire 3 quarters with 6 mins remaining. Those runs and points that they've made, Lakers shouldn't taken it for granted despite they can recover from those.

It's currently on the half time and the scores aren't that bad at all. 64 and 58, 6 points lead by Lakers. The three contributors have got good points and contributions, AD, Lebron and WB.

Good luck on your bet but too many things that can still happen at the last 2 quarters.

^^@baofeng was quicker than me.  

And so far, the Lakers are leading the Cavs in the first 2 quarter, 64-58. Westbrook has 14 points in 16 minutes, I think that is a good numbers already. Davis 17 and Lebron with 12. But they need more help, at least 2 players to score double digits to sustain their run and play good defense too against the Cavs.

Still very dangerous game for them, Mitchell and Garland scoring 21 points a piece and they could explode in the second half. Unless as I have said, Lakers up their defense on this two or even to LeVert.

Westbrook has been on an absolute tear since coming off the bench. I think with slightly less competition he can dominate. He’s shooting an incredible average the last 4 games and keeps getting better. What a turnaround. I’m so happy for him. I hope he can keep it up. What was happening to him personally in Los Angeles wasn’t right. With a scoring threat off the bench, all LA needs now is a three point shooter and they might make the playoffs.

Russel Westbrook is having a good game. 12 point in 5/6 of shooting and it is just the start of the second quarter. I bet on cavs here and my bet is looking bad. The score is just close though, so there is still a good chance I can still win this game.



I also took Utah Jazz against the Clippers. I am just riding the unpredictability of the Jazz this season. It is still very early in the season so I figured they will not be figured out yet by the top team.

Even though Leonard and Kennard are out of this game, the Clippers are still a very formidable opponent with PG13 and John Wall healthy. Plus the bench of Clippers is very deep. Jazz has their work cut out for them.

Good luck with out bets

Right now the game of Los Angeles Lakers VS Cleveland Cavaliers is commencing and the Lakers is on the lead right now with 35 - 29 but here is my take on my pick for today's game,


Memphis Grizzlies VS Washington Wizards

The stake odds for this game are 1.23 for the Grizzlies and 4.40 for the Wizards, Right now I think that the Grizzlies are in good momentum right now even though Danny Green, Ziaire Williams, and Jaren Jackson Jr. can not play, I think that the Memphis Grizzlies will win this,

Toronto Raptors VS Chicago Bulls

The stake odds for this game are 1.76 for the Raptors and 2.12 for the Bulls, Right now both teams got some injuries Fred VanVleet and Khem Birch are questionable if they can play, while Justin Champagnie and Pascal Siakam have injuries and can not play against the Bulls, while the Chicago Bulls Andre Drummond and Coby White can not play because of injuries, while Zach LaVine and Derrick Jones Jr. is questionable if they can play, means they are not in top shape that is why I will be going with the Toronto Raptors,

Los Angeles Clippers VS Utah Jazz

The stake odds for this game are 1.62 for the Clippers and 2.37 for the Jazz, For me I like how the Jazz is performing this time, and right now Luke Kennard and Kawhi Leonard can not play for the Clippers until November 7, while Leandro Bolmaro can not play while Jarred Vanderbilt is questionable, but for me, I don't mind the odds and this could be an upset and my pick is Utah Jazz,

Yeah, there is a good chance that LeBron can break Kareem's record this season, and I wouldn't be surprised if he can break that record even earlier than January 28. Of course, that will only be possible if LeBron can avoid serious injury. As for the betting, I think many bookmaker sites will offer to place bets on this rare event, but now it's too early for that.

Phoenix shows how to play the real game, with tough defense and a good ball movement they did not give any chance for the Blazers to rally back.

That last lost is just a luck and know they come back with a huge deficit, I'm sure fans loves seeing how Phoenix play today, especially those who bets for them, it covered both ML and the handicap for those who wanted to have much bigger profits.

Another great game and those who managed to win will celebrate a decent night out..

The Lakers Cavs game today would be a fun one to watch. Unfortunately, it isn’t televised on any channels I am able to watch. The Bulls vs Raptors game will be nationally televised, but I’m not sure I’m willing to sit through that one. It seems like a lot of Bulls games are being nationally televised this year. I guess the networks expected big thigg by s from the Bulls after their great regular season last year.

The calculations give for 2023 according to that same source specifically January 28.

 Is there any Sportsbook that makes life in the forum that offers to bet for that data...

 It is a mythical record not only for the same sport in the NBA, it is even one of those records that were considered difficult to beat.

Flop of a game.  Knicks kept it close all the way through to the last 5 minutes of the game and then got blown out.  Probably some fatigue on the second end of a back to back.  Still early but the Knicks look like the same old Knicks.  Will win so.e games but can never really compete with the top end of the league teams.  Hopefully I'm wrong 😮‍💨

I watched the game highlights again just to check something.
It seems like a big open floor whenever this Bucks team is playing. They got used to giving Giannis some space and they are still doing it even without him. All three point shooters are spread out so he will have enough room to attack. A very good tactic indeed.

Yes, certainly defense. Ayton was in foul trouble during the 2nd quarter with 3 fouls. Coach didn't take him out and it was worth it. He made 2 consecutive blocks and stared down at them. 
I don't base games on luck, it's just the Trail Blazers have lesser energy today.

Even if they tank, it will still be a lottery so they are not assured that they will get Wembayamba. And I do not believe that 1 man can make the whole team a champion. They still need to build around that guy. The nets have tried that with Durant, and they failed. I think, the whole organization should improve so that they can be a championship caliber. I do not know what is wrong with the Nets, but they seemed to fail as an organization. They have the best players in the NBA, but they cannot seem to be the championship team that they should be.


I am yet to watch a game from the Bucks, but I am hearing a lot of good remarks for them this year. I should follow them this year and see how great Giannis and the Bucks improved from last year.

The Milwaukee Bucks did win the game, and even without Pat Connaughton, AJ Green, Khris Middleton, and Giannis Antetokounmpo the Bucks manage to win the game still, what if they have played the game then I think that the Thunders would have had a very difficult time, and right now the 2nd quarter was the quarter that they have done so much that the Thunders weren't able to stop the Bucks,

Now here is the result of today's game,

Orlando Magic VS Sacramento Kings SCORE 123 - 126 - LOST

The Sacramento Kings just got in the way of the Orlando Magic to not make a win, on the 1st half you can surely see who is winning the game but the Kings have flipped the table even though Paolo Banchero got a double-double of 16 rebounds and 33 points, Bol Bol has 23 and Franz Wagner got 31 points, while the Kings Trey Lyles and Malik Monk both got 15 points Domantas Sabonis got a double-double of 11 rebounds and 25 points while De'Aaron Fox got 37 points Sacramento winning the game,

New York Knicks VS Boston Celtics SCORE 118 - 133 - WIN

The Celtics didn't fail me this time, and the Boston Celtics, 3-pointers were really amazing they made 27 3-pointers out of 51, for the Knicks Jalen Brunson got a double-double of 10 assists and 22 points, while the Celtics got a beautiful spread on their score, while Jayson Tatum got 26 points and Jaylen Brown got 30 points winning the game,

Atlanta Hawks VS New Orleans Pelicans SCORE 124 - 121 - LOST

It was really a close game I really thought that the Pelicans can win, but again they fell 3 points short, C.J. McCollum got a double-double of 10 rebounds and 29 points, Jonas Valanciunas has a double-double of 17 rebounds and 13 points, while Zion Williamson got 29 points, but it was not enough because the Hawks 2 players got the double-double, and 1 triple-double for tonight, Clint Capela that has 19 rebounds and 21 points, and Trae Young that got 10 assists, and 34 points, while Dejounte Murray got 10 Rebounds, 11 assist and 22 points for the Hawks,

Milwaukee Bucks VS Oklahoma City Thunder SCORE 108 - 94 - WIN

This game is truly amazing and even without most key players in it, they still manage to win, Khris Middleton got a wrist injury that can be back on Nov. 14, while AJ Green has a nose injury, and will be back on Nov. 23, Sandro Mamukelashvili, Pat Connaughton and Giannis Antetokounmpo is questionable, but still manage to keep the city safe,
