Another bad day for the warriors, they loss against the TrailBlazers during the OT.
Durant was hot in the last minutes of the 4th quarter and he was able to bring the game into OT but they did not manage to end it well.
Curry had an off shooting night, if not for Durant, they could have been easily dominated with a double digit loss again.

Nice game it is but its quite a failure for the celtics the gap between the scores are already on the tenths before the 4th quarter started up and they didn't catch their gap even into a slight difference.
On the very end just a 3point show is what they have given to their fans

This only happen because of the bad shooting night of Curry and Thompson, their 3 point shooting is very poor.
We can see also in the game that the defense of the warriors are really good, in fact they were able to come back but the main problem was the shooting. 2 losing streak at home is really bad, but this team is still good and a team to beat.

Lakers played with their young players after Lebron was injured. It was really a sight to see, I was hoping for some improvements and I have seen a little bit of better playing from them but defense was really not what it should be.

Offensively, they were alright (except free throws) but they played alright however defensively they could have been a lot better. This was a team of Lonzo-hart-Ingram-Kuzma-Zubac and that team is literally consists of 3 players at age of 21 and 2 players at 23, think about how young they are and how much road they have in front of them.

If Lakers could keep the same five (maybe no need for Zubac) for another 5-6 years they could be a real threat to other teams. Of course they lost to Kings which shows you how much they need to improve and they are just starting out and still quite bad but I am sure if Lebron didn't come and this was the team Lakers put together they could still push playoffs or at least not finish with a horrible record.

I wasn't able to watch the game live, I just checked some hi lights in YT and it's a very close game. It seems that Portland will win but Durant hit clutch three to send the game in OT. And when everyone expect the Warriors to win because they have a 5 point lead down to a minute or two. And still they have the edge in the dying seconds, Lilard hit's a three. Durant though posted a triple double as a consolation.

I didn't notice that Lakers again will have a game today, this time playing at home against the Clippers.
What's you take on this one? I'd like to put my bet on the road team because they are doing well lately and Lakers is on a back to back game.

James missed the last game with a strained left groin and is unlikely to suit up Friday against the Clippers.

It seems like Lebron is not yet confirmed unavailable, I might hedge my bet live when he plays.

That last close shot by KD, guess the is really for blazers that's so close and a wide open range for KD, let see what would be the result of their rematch if curry and the rest of GSW will win this as they already have a back to back losses inside their home crowd, blazers have a good impressive stats and already got twice snatch overtime winnings.

No matter what team Lebron is, he can't carry the team if the team is not doing as hard as he can. Let's just say that most the players can't keep up to the level of Lebron showing on every game. There is something that lacking on a team if they aren't getting better over time, we all know that teamwork is very crucial to make the game works until the end.

Exactly. The team is still very young and they needed a leadership that Lebron can bring to the Lakers. He can only carry them to a certain point, but all players also needed to bring their A game as well so that they can win games with or without Lebron playing.
