Bad loss for the Warriors. They need to talk this one out and review why they keep losing a huge lead during the last minutes
defense needs to be adjust base from how I assess the system.

They really need to. If only the game is close, then I don't see it as a big deal if the Warriors lose even if that was against an Orlando Magic.

The Warriors blew their large lead and they remained comfortable because of that. They thought a team like Magic don't have the ability to do a big rally.

Much worst that they gave up 130 points for a non-offensive like Orlando Magic. It means their defense is at worst on that game for a considered contender team in the league.

I also noticed that. Actually, most of the games this year of the warriors are high scoring. There is just too much offense and less defense already. We know that that type of game cannot secure a championship. I think the rockets proved that to us already. They are offense centered and they can't win a championship. The Warriors need to adjust their defense. Klay is not that strong in defense anymore since his injury. Steph and Poole better step up their defense if they want to defend their title.

They manage to win but I think it was a lucky win, they need to prove that they really have fix their problems and that is by winning with a decent margin and controlling the game. The first win was pretty convincing, the 2nd one is just luck.

Well, luck is also a part of basketball. Some shots fall your way, sometimes they don't. The important thing with the Lakers is that they were able to get something out of their roster. It means they can improve on it and get some more wins. At least they have a set that could work and beat other teams. Maybe they can push that to defeat the Jazz too.

Next is the Utah Jazz game, it won't be easy for them to win this game. But if they can win, it would be great for the Lakers

This would not be easy by the Lakers, Jazz is doing very well this season, their teamwork is very impressive, so I'm thinking they'll bounce back after a lose to the mavericks.

I guess we will see that later. It is not easy to conclude that they can't win against the Jazz. They still have their stars healthy so far. I think we will see a good game.

A couple of good games on ESPN today. First up is the Bulls and Celtics, which seems likely to be a playoff matchup at the end of the year. I haven’t seen the Bulls play yet so I may watch some of that one. The main course being the undefeated Bucks vs the Minnesota Timberwolves who are still trying to figure out Gobert in the lineup, but have been playing well.

That two games is what I want to find out who is going to win.
Bucks especially since they are the favorites in the Eastern Conference. With twin towers stopping him, can Giannis still do the normal thing which is attacking the paint.
Twolves specialty before is speed and offense, they added Gobert to fill the missing link which is defense.
Will this be just another day for the Bucks to gain 8-0 or will it be the Timberwolves to stop them and stain that perfect win the Bucks have?
Can't wait for the game to start.

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.

While he is getting used to his new role, the Lakers are gaining momentum to make straight wins but the real test will be in their next game vs the Utah Jazz where undeniably one of the best in the west. But the Lakers will gonna do their best and will try everything they can to keep winning every single game from now on. So it's better to assume that they will gonna fight for it and let's just hope no injuries will haunt them sooner since they are now obviously making difference from their last games.

If they can beat Zion, CJ, and the Pelicans I think they have a higher chance of beating a rebuilding team without superstars in their team. The advantage of Jazz is they are unpredictable, and they are young and hungry. I am thinking Lebron, AD, and Westbrook would be able to handle them with the help of the young players of the Lakers. It would be a good match even though Lakers and Jazz are far apart in the standing. Now that Lakers are finding their groove, they can give the Jazz a good game.

I agree! Lakers does have a fair chance to win against the Utah Jazz who are quite establishing their name after the rebuilding, though it's not yet complete but they can already compete against the heavy teams in the league. I bet the Lakers will give everything they've got especially now that they are slowly getting in the rhythm with the bench guys. If Jazz's have young players, the Lakers have it too with the guide of their superstars.

Anyway, the Lakers are listed as a slight favorite over the Utah Jazz on tomorrow's game. This will be a good game!

LA Lakers escaped from another loss, good thing they have Ryan who forced an OT and the Lakers then too over in the OT. 2 wins in a row, now bad, but hopefully they'll be more consistent and dominant so we will not feel nervous while watching the game.

Westbrook now is playing limited minutes but he had some good contribution, I think that's good for the team.

It's good to see the team going to a better level. They started really badly this year, but it's good that they've won in the last 2 games. I think if they manage to win a few more games, the confidence of the team will increase.

Exactly, it might not be a big deal for the other people because they are not the ones who are playing for the franchise but for them, it is as they needed a boost as well, just like what you've said. Now that they got what they wanted, let's see if that boost restored their morale and is already enough to beat the NOP next game. Darvin Ham might've got an idea because of that win they've got.

Any win for LA Lakers right now is a cause for celebration. With how bad they started this season and how disarrayed their roster is, they should be happy they have won against Nuggets. Maybe it was pure luck or they have finally found something that clicks in their roster, we will know that in the next few games if they continue winning. And we need a tougher team than NOP to prove that they have found their formula for winning. Maybe a win against Bucks or Celtics will cement that.

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.

I guess you can say that because the Lakers have indeed improved as they are now playing wholly as a team and not relying on their superstars alone, we saw it recently that LeBron and Davis didn't carry much load as they gave some chance to their comrades to contribute too, and it turns out positively.

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.

Looks like I'm not the only one who expect Warriors to win this game. Cheesy

After leading double digits, they lost by only a point to a team who is also struggling and has a losing streak that has snapped because of this win. Now the Warriors are in a 4-game losing streak and currently at the bottom position.
What could be the possible problem with the Warriors? For me, I think they are experimenting with their younger players. I mean they are developing those young players by giving them more minutes and they will see if it will be beneficial for the team to keep them or to just trade them. I don't know any more reason, but anybody can share their opinions as to why the Warriors started like this.
Overall, I will still pick the Warriors as the team to beat this season and they have a chance to go back-to-back because their core players are still there, and they've added more shooters in Poole and Wiggins. Maybe their defense went down because of GPII being traded but still they are the one of the best teams offensively and we might see it at the mid part till the end of the season and in the playoffs.

And they lost again to the Magic, and it's a hard lost because they have a chance to win in the end, but Klay missed that shot. And despite the effort of Curry to carry the team, they again fell short. They belt a huge lead but the Magic keeps coming back. And then in the 4th, when I thought that everything is lost already, they comeback, tie and even take the lead in the closing minutes.
I agree that their defense has gone down a lot since their second stringers like Gary Payton are no longer there. I think this is their worst start since the Curry lead era.

Magic surprisingly comes back and snatches this game away from GSW. I was thinking that it was a blowout when GSW established
that huge lead after the first half.
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.

This was a very exciting match and a very close match as well. I really thought the Golden State Warriors should have done better as a team because I only saw Stephen Curry playing excellently on this team. He basically carried the whole game for the Warriors. I don’t think the other players actually contributed anything close to what Stephen Curry did.

But on the other hand, the Orlando Magic had a good game overall because almost everyone contributed to the team. It was not a single-man show and that is a big reason why they were able to win this match.

Stephen Curry actually almost got it for his team, but if someone else just helped him a little more, I think the result could have turned the other way.

I can’t believe the Orlando Magic beat the Golden State Warriors. Looking at the box score it doesn’t even make sense. The big difference of the night seems to be the free throws. The Warriors shot 10/15 from the free throw line while the Magic shot 33/46. I didn’t watch the game but it certainly seems like the referees were a little bit lopsided on this one.

Even if it was a close defeat, they were supposed to win in a not-close fashion. The Golden State Warriors need a wake-up call. This is their first straight road game of the season and they went 0-4. I expect them to lose again tomorrow against the New Orleans Pelicans which will be their last of the 5 straight road games.

I actually have my bet on the Pelicans already. Although it is only an ML bet, I need to stay safe nowadays after a string of losing streaks. This young NBA season is also too unpredictable with only the Bucks and Suns doing well.

I didn't realize it was 4 road games. Thank you.
Maybe they could focus again once they go back home receiving support from their fans and yes Pelicans might snatch this one.
Brandon Ingram is probable to play, it will be a big push for the Pelicans if he could play on this one.
My only worry about the Pelicans is how they are comfortable whenever they have the lead, just like what happened when they are against the Lakers.
It could've been a win for them but they failed to protect it.
They are the favorites, so I guess a back-to-back East to West will be exhausting for the Warriors.

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.

Here is the result for today's game it was an upsetting close game lost for the Golden State Warriors,

Orlando Magic VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 130 - 129 - LOST

Now that Klay Thompson is firing up, I really thought that they will surely win this one, but it was an upset, they were in the lead in the 1st half but the Magic just immediately crash that and have a great spread over the Golden State Warriors, it was a clear defeat with just 1 points difference, Klay Thompson has 27 points, and 39 points for Curry, it was a great spread for the Warriors as well but Jalen Suggs and Paolo Banchero just got their great play on the 2nd half, while the Warriors defense was just got out of the window, I feel like the Warriors have gotten softy on the 2nd half when they got a huge lead over the Orlando Magic, which is not a great thing for them,

Oklahoma City Thunder VS Denver Nuggets SCORE 110 - 122 - WIN

Now the Denver Nuggets don't fail me that they will definitely win this, even though Josh Giddey got 16 points, Luguentz Dort has 19 points, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander got 37 points, it was not enough Nikola Jokic's triple-double of 13 rebounds, 14 assists, and 15 points, Jamal Murray's 24 points and Aaron Gordon's 27 points, winning this game,

The Nets drama continues. This time the Nets management released a statement regarding the Irving situation, and it looks like they are pretty mad at him since they mentioned that he is currently unfit to be associated with the Brooklyn Nets. In other words, they have decided to suspend him for at least 5 games without pay. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Irving missed a lot more than 5 games because of this situation.

Then, an apology. Whatever is happening to his brain, it's difficult to understand. He keeps on making theories after theories, Covid, Jews, his own coach, flat earth, NBA, and more. He might as well become a scientist. I will call him Uncle Sci. Grin

There's no wrong about having these ideas IMO, but there are times you just have to be silent about it and don't go public about telling people about how you feel or what your theory is. He is a public figure now, and a lot of kids are watching and looking up to him.

Brooklyn Nets without him, who knows, it might be for good. If they win games while he is suspended, then the Nets might've fired the wrong guy.
