Philadelphia and Miami had easy wins. So many players were missing in Orlando, even Miami didn't have his big man Bam Adebayo but they managed to get an easy game. Omer Yurtseven had a very nice game and even when I watched the game, it could be seen that he had a surprise impact. But the Heat has a tough competition for the top 3 in the eastern conference. Nets, Bulls and Bucks have slightly better teams for getting the conference championship.

That was so easy, and Embiid once again led the team with 36 points in a dominant performance individually and as a team. I don't understand what happened to the Wizards, they had a very good start and now they are losing some games, from being a top 3 team, now ranked number 7 in the East.

Lakers is a defensive team, they are good at it, unfortunately their offense is not clicking very well as there's no consistency from LBJ's teammates, especially Westbrook. I think this season is not really for the Lakers and soon enough, we might see Westbrook being traded to other team.

Don't expect too much on the Lakers, they are done now.

Should have been traded for Damian Lillard I guess instead of Westbrook? I don't know if that was still the rumor these days and how do they'll with it but I think it will not be that an easy trade. They aren't yet done tbh there's still good chance they may improve but as most people's sentiment it's still a doubtful scenario.

Fact! Especially without Ball on the Bulls, this team would really strive more to secure their team as they're at more risk now. As for the Warriors, they will still lead the conference as their team has almost perfect chemistry and the players really know their role and what to do. But yes, even if the Warriors is still a tough team to beat, they're more vulnerable now without Green's presence and power assists and rebounds, because he's really an effective offensive player especially his defensive tactics are highly needed for the teams security.

Spurs on their way to 8th seed by the looks of it, three wins in a row! That's great to see from them, I expected them to be better by next year but they are showing how they are still good even this year. I know that most people talk about the top teams and how they are good and when I talk about the 10th team in west as good some of you may feel weird.

However, as a person who had a chance of 20 years in a row dominant team, having a team that is not dominant at all was a weird feeling of love. I mean we never really had to say "I was a fan during bad days too", even Lakers fans had that but Spurs never had it until a few years ago when Kawhi left. On contrast, Lakers look like they are closer to 10th seed nowadays . I mean not to be happy about it but I would say I rather see Spurs in playoffs than Lakers if that's what we got.

Or maybe we can see coach Pop's experiment have been paying off this season? They also make a lot of moves off season and now it seems a perfect fit for this players. Actually if you look at it, they are all role players to me, no star or franchise player. And it does good to the team as everyone really have to work hard, and the dangerous things is that this dude are just like in their 20's. So imagine if they are going to be fully developed in the next 2-3 years, they could be a contender team.

Seeing bad news from Warriors players is not unexpected.  Moreover, Covid is the reason, the next match against the Nuggets is difficult to predict, especially since both are quite strong and balanced rivals.  If on the Warriors side lose their flagship player then their hard work must be greatly increased to fight the Nuggets.  Moreover, seeing the track record of their previous match, Nugget has a superior difference over the Warriors.

Yeah the Spurs tanked one year while they had David Robinson and landed Tim Duncan in the draft.  Nailed the parket and Manu picks and it was a good decade or 2 of the Spurs being in every game/series.  I'm surprised how decent they are right now but in the end I still don't see them making the playoffs, if they do as a 9/10 seed.

There was a very great and competitive game between really close teams last night: Los Angeles Clippers v Denver Nuggets. And the final score also showed this to us as Nuggets won by 103-100 away. I admired especially the third quarter performance of Clippers. They scored nearly double the points Nuggets scored. And I think that the player of the game was definitely Jokic. He got 26 points, 22 rebounds, 8 assists. What a performance! Clippers really felt the absence of Paul George.
