Luka is the future of the NBA, I think he can break the record of Westbrook with the way he is playing at 22 years old.

There are a lot of upsets in tonight's game, and luckily the Mavs edges out the Magic in a very close match. Bucks lost a huge margin 36 points at their home court.

I really think so too that the management should let Vogel go and find another head coach who can truly help the roster as he's not really that effective anymore on the Lakers this season. That's their only option for now, it's a pity seeing them in that situation when infact they had the best all time players too especially LeBron who have so much burden on his shoulder despite of his age.

If this really continue with Vogel as their head coach, the chances to be in the playoffs to are indeed slim what more in the Finals. Just saying!

Luka has just entered the 4th year of his career and he's doing really well as the most valuable player in his team that has the biggest contribution on his team's success. However, he could've carry his team into the Finals or even in the conference finals by now, I mean LeBron brought the Cavs with a bunch of nobodies in the finals in his 4th year. Luka and LeBron has been compared many times as they both are a good all around player.
I know Luka could dominate the league in the next couple of years, let's just see how the Mavericks help him to win a championship.

I think he is referring to the 2017-2018 Cavaliers where he lead his team to the NBA Finals but got swept by the Warriors.
Well, I saw that playoff run by the Cavaliers and we saw how one-sided the offense of Cavaliers at that time. Its like Lebron Vs. all but to call them bunch of nobodies is I think isn't good because after all, basketball is a team game and all of them still have contributions that's why they got into the NBA Finals.

Well, the competition right now is really harder than where it was years ago. Now with regards to Luka, just give him better players around him and he can lead the team as well. We've seen it when they entered the playoffs 2 seasons ago where he lead that team. Him himself isn't enough to carry the team to the Finals. He needs another all-star to increase its chances and I think its pretty obvious already that if you want to be a championship team, you might need at least 2 all-star players in the team. Luka's achievements are nowhere near to Lebron so comparing him as early as now is I think irrelevant.

Yeah with AD back and monk playing well they still couldn't win.  They are going to struggle the rest of the year.  If I were them I'd break this whole thing up including lebron.  They could reload with a ton of great picks.  The group isn't going to be able to compete with the top tier teams.

Nikola Jokic in January:
425 PTS
211 REB
144 AST
Jokic is the first NBA player to record at least 400 points, 200 rebounds, and 100 assists in a calendar month since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in March 1976.

Yes, this is something plausible, I hope they improve... because if the Lakers qualify for the playoffs in 8th or 7th place in the conference, they can face the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs and in the days today's GSW is one of the worst teams anyone would want to face in the playoffs, even more with Thompson's return!


wow, is this real!!?
I swore that one of the only players who could have accomplished this feat was Jordan in the 90's.
I would never have imagined that this kind of record had been intact since 1976.
Congrats to Jokic!

I see a delightful game tonight: Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat. Heat are the leader of the Eastern Conference right now and Celtics are eight positions below them in the standings. Heat have six more wins than them right now. Heat are having an amazing time this season but Celtics seem to be a tough target for them. They played against each other once this season and Celtics defeated them by 95-78 away. Even this must be enough for Heat to be cautious. I expect to see a more competitive game this time but Heat should be able to win this.

I was just about to write that Jayson Tatum is the man to watch for this game. He is doing good recently. He scored 38 against Pelicans lastly and also he was quite strong and dominant. I really enjoyed how he performed. On the Heat side, Jimmy Butler is also doing great and with Bam's return, they seem much stronger and the results are showing. The Heat have won three of four and nine of their last twelve games. I favour the Heat for this match-up, they are the better team and they will want to send a message with a win against Celtics.
