Well, they seem got a hold of it because they manage to defeat the New Orleans Pelicans earlier today. It was a crazy game but it's undeniable that the Lakers is quite different now and Westbrook already got used to his role as he keeps on laying the table for his teammate to score. Pelicans was shocked as the gaps of their score becomes wider as the first half finished, they managed to chase the Lakers in the 2nd half but Lakers was so determined to put a win today.

The Lakers were on the verge of defeat and Matt Ryan saved the team from another defeat, it was cool. The match was difficult, at first it seemed (especially in the second quarter) that Laker would win confidently, but then New Orleans began to regain their positions. If Dyson Daniels had hit even one shot, then Laker would have had no chance, but he missed twice.

Those two missed shots on the 4th quarter somehow dictated the game, the Pelicans are too loose on their defense just because they are leading the game, they didn't even bother to rebound the ball or poke it that is why Lebron managed to get it easily and called a time-out. That fact right there made the Pelicans lost the game, even if they reached an OT. They underestimated the Lakers.

But, the really starts when 2nd half starts, it was the Magic patience and determination that keeps them alive and really steps up
to even the game in the last few minutes of the game.

I really like how the Orlando Magic played them last night ang they don't seem to care that their opponent are the depending champion. They managed to execute great play throughout the last minutes and they won the game. GSW was also doing good and they were sinking threes as well but it's not enough since it was the Magic night.

No pressure from this team because they don't have a superstar, I mean they are a young team, and winning against the depending champ makes them confident going forward. Warriors are struggling, they have a serious problem now, this is by far the longest losing streak I witness from this team.

They're by far the worst with the start of the season just like with the Lakers but now we're seeing progress as they beat the defending champion. I think for the Warriors that Green-Poole drama plus that Klay with Booker was just a few to mention that may take a toll on this struggle but they'll bounce back after this. I'm sure with that.

Well, they did not as they lost the game for the 5th time on their five straight road games but on this game, they can somehow make an excuse because Curry, Thompson and Wiggins didn't play to rest and to heal their respective injuries. The guys on the 2nd squad with Poole are the ones who faced Zion, Ingram and McCollum. It was a fun game and it was just a 5 point game, not bad for the guys on the second squad against the NOP.

Forget about the Irving controversy.

let's talk about the games last night, Warriors again lose their game, they are in a cold streak now and I don't know when it will stop. It seems like their struggle is really serious because most of the losses are not even close.

Can't trust the Warriors now, they are not the same team as they usually bounce back everytime they lose, but now, it seemed like losing has become their habit now. LOL.... Anyway, I guess I have to wait until they fully recovered, not getting into the trap until they start winning again.

By the way, Jazz bounce back again by beating the Lakers, and Blazers upset the Suns at home, that's without their best player Lillard.

Jazz winning is no surprise at all, Lakers were expose again and that would only prove to the doubters that the Jazz is really a good team this season. Also, Blazers upset the Suns, maybe they'll do it again.

Warriors is struggling so much early of this season and it seems they really get a hard time to work with their piece this season since its like they are losing their defense and they are relaxing to much that's why they lose so many of their games this season.

I'm quite surprised about the result and for sure lebron to because he don't expect to see for his self how good the rooster of Jazz is. And also for sure Lakers regret because they let go of Clarkson which is doing so good in Jazz now.

Yes, good games by the Blazers and the Suns, I haven't seen the whole game, but when I check the score, it was the Suns leading and I thought that they are going to win. But then the Blazers executed a perfect inbound pass, and then Jeremi Grant hit the winner in front of the Suns bench, that's really dagger.

The game was tied before the winning shot of Jeremi Grant, good for them because if that game went to OT, Suns could take advantage and they'll win the game. It was a nice game, I think the Blazers have really improved because even without Lillard, that does not give them a problem being competitive, I'm pretty sure Lillard is happy with the performance of his teammates, especially for Grant who had 30 points and a winning shot.

Yeah, I stir away from Warriors right now, 2 loses and I'm done with them. Unless they win maybe I will put a bet.

Nike is into business, they will always make sure that their promoter will be a good model, as of now, Irving does not fit to be a good model so canceling his contract by Nike is just good for him. He has an attitude problem, he is a superstar but unfortunately not a good role model.

He had been doing these things for a lot of times, I don't why it is just now that Nike did this. It should've been before.
Disrespecting your coach (Steve Nash) at that time was not a work of a good role model too. It becomes a plague, not just in NBA but also on leagues with young people playing basketball. NCAA, or small leagues. Those innocents that thinks what he did is the right thing if you don't like your coach, you can talk bad to them and even make them go away.
And so, it happened.

Good for Irving, well deserved, now, I believe he is already realizing that because of his bad action, he already lost a huge amount of money. I don't understand him, we cannot deny that he is really a great basketball player but he will never be a hall Famer if he does things that are disrespectful because everyone deserves respect.

I don't think that money will be the problem for Irving, yes he could have lost a big chunk of money here if Nike will suspend him or their relationship. But probably the most important thing is his reputation inside and outside of the court. Yes, he has some disrespectful moments in his NBA career, but this one is very different as he is talking about a certain race that has suffered a lot throughout history. So not sure if he can be called a HOF, even his fellow ex-NBA players like Shaq are taking bad against him for his remarks.

Kyrie is in the hot seat. Nike just canceled their deal with him and they won't be releasing the new shoes for him that are about to be launched for the month.
News: Enough Is Enough: Nike Suspends Kyrie Irving Relationship
Too many bad things are happening to him and fans are protesting his support for the anti-Semitism remark. And his team even suspended him for 5 games without pay!

Kyrie is the kind of player where he is becoming very popular thru dramas.

His attitude when he was in the Celtics, saying he doesn't have a coach in the Nets, vaccination mandate, that anti-Semitism remark etc. I mean there hasn't any time where Kyrie doesn't involve in any drama. I don't know, but Nike made a good decision cancelling the deal with him. I mean it can also cause negative effects to the shoe brand knowing that Kyrie always involves himself in any drama possible, and he will create one if there isn't any like that remark that he said.

Change? I don't think so that he will change at any moment after this cancelled deal thing-y, but he will do what he is known for - to create dramas around him.

Too many issues that he's been with and that's going to drag his career down. If he just remains focused on his career and just play basketball and does his best then these won't happen but he likes to chase clouts and this deserves him.

Right, I don't think that any brand will support anyone for anti-Semitism remark. Specially in this era wherein we have what we call the "Cancel" society. So it's really a bad move for him and not sure how he can bounce back except maybe about his suspension, he will go on publicly to apologize and then make his team better.

However, I guess he is too late to make any apology and not sure even if he hire a PR company to make his image look good again.
His donations to anti-Semitism should be deny by the group for sure.

Those brands that have endorsers that have remarks for anti-semitism for sure will also break their relationship to it. They're a business and they need to get most of the customers sympathy and empathy and that's why they can't neglect the actions of the people that are attached to their brands and Nike just did the right thing, business wise.

Relax mode? You can't be serious

We may be watching the collapse of one of the best teams of recent years. I think they're trying right now, but they can't win a match because of the problems within the team. If they continue like this, I don't think they will be champions this year.
Basketball is a team game and GSW is having trouble with that right now, the team needs to get a lot better

Well, that's the same perspective about them last year, and yet... Cheesy

Let's wait until they go back home and receive some energy from their home crowd, their schedule is just too exhausting when I saw it. 5 road games and one back-to-back, this is why the 4 stars didn't play last night.
Fatigue leads to injuries so Steve Kerr or the Warriors' management decided to not risk it.
How I wish they will still be underdogs against the Kings on Tuesday, I would not hesitate to bet big for the Warriors.

It's different though as compare to the case of Green, this might be compare to Kanye's Antisemitism and Adidas cut ties with him and so are other companies that sponsored him. So I don't know how they can repair the damage, and it's about time that Nike severe their ties to Irving, as far as I can remember they have also issues before so maybe this is just the final nail in the coffin for Kyrie and his relationship with the giant shoes company. And I don't see how it will backfire on them, it's very much a hate speech and I doubt that any company moving forward will go and take Kyrie to represent them.

I could have sounded Antisemitism for this, but for me, Kanye West is speaking to the extreme level, of Antisemitism while Kyrie Irving sharing a movie that he might like or love to watch and without realizing some details about it, could get you into trouble, why? is there no freedom in speaking what you know or what might come to mind, maybe there are laws like that because of the past Hitler did to the Jewish community back in the days,

Yes, nothing didn't change on their best players, but the role ones? they are all gone, GPII, Toscano Anderson, Otto Porter and Damion Lee. Those really help a lot as a second unit and a defender. But with the new set of players, some of them needs to adjust and most of them are rookies and sophomores and that's why GSW are one of the worst defending teams this already.

Hopefully, they just needed just one win to turn around this season. It is still very early to conclude, and as defending champs, we don't have to doubt them. They have the championship pedigree and the experience to come out strong.

Yup! when it comes to defense they are really looking poor, even though Draymond Green is there it is not enough what if he is not playing for the team, like with the Pelicans game, Kevon Looney, and James Wiseman, didn't do much with the defense, well right now it is rest time for the main player of the Warriors, that is Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, so they can perform well in the next game,

Warriors are playing in a relax mode right now and to be perfectly honest it has been not even 10 games since the season started. They are a great team, who happen to just not have the chemistry they so famously had so far. Klay is not doing as well as he used to but he is Klay and he will go nuclear when the time comes, Curry is still awesome, I think it’s all about who will be the third this year that is getting a bit of a trouble.

All those Draymond Green fights are because Green is no longer the third best player in the team and that causes a bit of a rift between younger players and Green and normally he should have been their leader and veteran help.

Another game ,another defeat for Lakers. I'm afraid that at this point , whatever is left from order and control in that team is about to make a swift change to uncontrolled chaos because this team cannot continue like this if they want to catch play-offs but I'm skeptical that we might see Lakers in play-offs this season.

Meanwhile my boy Luka is having a blast this start of the season by doing Luka Magic every time he steps on the court and last night was no difference as he managed once again to put 35 points and continue to break records <3. You simply gotta love and respect Luka.

I don't get this. Did I miss some big trades that would make GSW look like a new team? They are practically the same team that won the league last season as far as I know.

I think everyone agrees that they're a great team. They'll probably be in the top 5 by the end of the year.
