Well, we can't deny the fact that the Bulls are doing great early this season, but that doesn't mean they're unbeatable. Dame just outshined the Bulls scoring leaders, and it happens to other games too where a team was performing really good but 1 man could lead the other team to beat them.
It's no surprise Lillard has always been the front man in Portland and he's offensive capabilities can beat a good team anytime.
And yeah you're right, when Lillard is on fire he might be too hot to handle throughout the game.

Playoffs will defimately be different but they can't play around too much otherwise they will be on the outside looking in.  And this team needs lebron.  Lebron is suck a hard cover it alters the defense on the rest of the team.  I can see lebron only taking around 40-50 games though this season.  Lakers know if he is shot by the ayoffs Lakers don't stand a chance and the last coue games showed how they will struggle.

You can call it's a desperate move by the Lakers management to get all this veterans and put it on one time and then can't find the perfect fit to all of them.

Somewhat though, I remember the discussions about them in the pre-season games where the Lakers lost a lot of games and we say that it is not that important. But now it seems that we are seeing that even today, they are struggling to win and now that Lebron is out, it is far more evident that the veterans are not jelling as they supposed to.

I am rooting for their wise perspective about the game they love. All they need is time to figure out how they can use all their skills to make each other better. Then, they also need to at least afford the 8th seed or better 7th for just 1 game to win in the play-in tournament and take a spot for the playoffs. When that happens, we might see upsets that will break NBA records again.

Speaking of records, Nikola Jokic halftime record against 76ers 27 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and there is still another 24 minutes left to be played.
That's the stats of a star player who played 48 minutes already.  

Sixers are a good team even without Embiid, that's because they have good chemistry and everyone on the floor can contribute.
Jokic is no doubt a great player and will likely win an MVP this season but their inconsistency is here again, so I must say they really need Murray to be back in the lineup again as he can be consistent in helping Jokic or even lead the team.

They are different because they are consistent, consistently struggling.

I believe the Cavs still put up on a show even with their starters out, Garland put on quite a show as he delivered along with Rubio, Wade and Love, they were doing great but weren't consistent enough to go on par with the Warriors as Curry exploded in the 4th, I really think if Curry didn't gave out back-to-back 3pointers on that 4th, the game will be a pretty close match, they defended him well but Steve Kerr's offensive plan is just really something out of this world right now.

And the most impressive part is that everyone contributed to a big comeback while they are making Curry take care of the points. I love to put a bet every time the warriors played, but this time I learned that live betting is also profitable especially if you bet on the Warriors when they are down.

Definitely profitable to bet on them, for sure those who bet on the starting line at -9.5 thought that they've already lost their bet.

But maybe there are gamblers who still bet on the Warriors when they went down 10-12 point. That will be huge odds.

Lesson here is not to bet against one of the hottest team, specially they have Curry to carry the team with his phenomenal outside shooting.

I thought that they dominate again the 3rd quarter like they are always doing but it seems that they didn't did it but they did it in the final quarter.

Those 3 threes by Curry at the start of the quarter is the reason why they gained the momentum all thorough out the whole quarter and they just let the Cavaliers score 8 points. I mean only 8 points?? After battling toe to toe with the top team from 1st to 3rd, they will lose their gas coming to 4th and score 8 points. It might be too early but it seems that Curry is on the road to get another conference MVP award with how he is playing right now. He is the top leading scorer per game with 29.5, a 1.1 point difference between him and Durant which is second. What do you think? Will he get another MVP award this season?

P.S. He made another history again as he has made 85 3pt FG’s through 15 games this season. That marks the most 3pt FGM through the first 15 games of a season in NBA History!
