As long as the Bulls will end up in the top 4, they will enjoy the home-court advantage and that would really help them.
Currently, they are at the number 4 but the competition is very tight.

Anything can happen in that ranking as seen above.

On point, LeBron can't really do the chores alone now because he can only help set the table rather than doing all of it. He really need some mate to help him because even if AD is healthy, they are still barely winning some games and we know that is not enough to get a ring and a trophy. The Lakers have done many mistakes this season, they really need to invest another set of fresh feet because it's already proven that having a team of full of former superstars won't make it.

To be fair, they paid so much to get Westbrook that they do not have any players left that could help them out. I mean if they kept last years roster, and added like Rondo and Melo to that (maybe get rid of dennis if you have to) then they would have been much better. That would have allowed them to have rondo, kuzma, caruso, melo, kcp and that is much better than having just westbrook. Don't get me wrong, I am not one of those people that hate westbrook, and this is not about how much he really costs.

It is about the fact that 5 or so great players, turned into one superstar and 4 horrible players for Lakers. Even if westbrook was great, that means whenever he is out, there are 4 players missing from the team. I would assume that if they didn't do that, and did what I said, then they could have been a lot better with this roster since they wouldn't have to be carried at least.

I think at 37 years old LeBron was hoping he wouldn't have to carry this team.  That's why they surrounded him with hall of famers.  Unfortunately, coach Vogel isn't putting players in at the right times and I think he's a big problem.  The other problems being that AD is constantly injured, Westbrook is having the worst season of his career, and the entire team is extremely old for an NBA team.  It seems that instead of getting the best of all possibilities, they're getting the worse.  I really hoped a coaching change at the all star break would give them some new energy, but they decided to stick wtih Vogel.  Now it looks like they'll be swapping Westbrook and AD in the offseason for DeRozan and Wall.  I doubt that will solve any problems and the team isn't getting any younger.  A shame.

Celtics is chasing behind and with the kind of games they are performing right now, it's not by far

that they can bring the bulls down and take that good spot. Bulls need to start winning games again like how they
bring down the Cavs today.

DeRozan needs to be more aggressive while his other co-stars are not inside, it's a good competition though coming
from the east it's getting more exciting before the playoffs.

This is just the 2nd time this season Steph Curry ended up in a single digit in points. The last time was against the Miami Heat on January 3.
1/3/2022 - 9 points, 10 assists, 3 rebounds.
3/13/2022 - 8 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds - Today.
But he didn't shoot much so that's okay. 3/7 FG 2/4 3pt
He didn't force it and just became the playmaker or used his threat to give his teammates an open space. That's unselfish of him and the Warriors are lucky he would sacrifice his stats for the win.
Draymond will be back next game, it will be a different Warriors again.

Maybe he is just showing off one side of his basketball skills? He is not known to be a playmaker, of course he is more of a shooter, but with Klay taking the shots outside, maybe Steph just think of becoming the point guard in this game. For sure if this is a close one, the complexion will be very different as he needs to score and help Klay. Let's watch Draymond next game, they need his presence in the middle and the energy he can bring to the team.

He doesn't care about the stats in my opinion, as long as the team wins, even if he doesn't score double digits that fine with him.

Remember that when Durant was in the Warriors uniform, Steph was not taking the limelight. And it was Durant who carry  the majority of the load in the regular games. So Steph is used to it, just look at how happy he was seeing Thompson to score the way he did damage to the Bucks.

There are a lot of duo team before them, but maybe we haven't seen maybe in history because it's usually a big men plus guard, like Shaq and Kobe, or Malone and John Stockton. But you are right, Steph is just focus and motivated to win the game. He let Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole to be the main point in this game against the Bucks and it's a very good win for them as they are back in a streak and then they stop the Bucks winning streak as well.
