No, they shouldn't relax and just wanted to go to the playoffs. They should know better that they needed that experienced badly.


They really have to put a decent win again so that their morale will be back. It was only DeRozan who wanted to win badly and putting numbers the rest are just choking. They could exit the first round as well if they play bad like in their last 10 games.

I love NBA games more than others sport games, but we don't have local sport channels to watch it. It is only when I subscribed to international decoder that I can watch and predict the games. And international decoders are costly in my end. That's not withstanding, this is yesterday's NBA results.
Grizzlies      Pelicans
 141          -      114

Really NBA games are difficult to predict, because the games are not certain like football games, although the team that faster is always likely to win but it is not always like that. Weak Teams might rise up and beat their opponent. The last match I watched was International NBA match. That was Nigeria and USA. I thought Nigeria would win the match because they played incredible but ironically, USA won the match.

A healthy and complete Warrior is really tough to beat, but who knows if Jokic alone will face them.

Just like what I have mentioned, the chance that Jamal will play during the first round will add weight for this Nugget's squad.
We all see how great the combo of Jamal and Joker is, both are good playmaker and reliable when the team needed to score a basket.
It's indeed a very interesting match if both come up with all their best to move forward.

Just like how they renamed the Warriors as a super team after winning 3 championships. Somehow, those who made names went viral and poisoned a lot of basketball fans. I still don't think the Warriors were a super team back then, it's all hard work and following the play that made them win. Curry's running around without the ball is not an easy task and the screen plays are dangerous giving up your body to be bumped hard.

Back to the Lakers, I agree, Lebron wanted to carry these guys to another championship but too bad Anthony Davis was hurt so the wish won't come true.
Maybe next time. If there will be one, or if they keep them.

If only they were able to find the right chemistry, then they could have achieved a good ranking despite Davis's injury in the season. The problem is, even if Davis are playing, they are still struggling against a strong team because of their chemistry problem, players are not in synch and sometimes Westbrook are just throwing bricks that would result to a lose of the team.

If Westbrook remain a triple double machine, then for sure they are still in the playoffs.

If that is the case then they really doesn't have any chance to defeat a healthy Warriors. We know that Curry will return at the start of the playoffs or at least near that time so... we can expect that the Warriors will be entering the playoffs with a full roster unlike Nuggets who doesn't have any 2nd player that can help Jokic or at least help him with what he is doing.

Even Big Perk already said that the Nuggets will exit in first round and I agree with it. Maybe the Nuggets already accepted it but still they will fight until they can. Lakers are still a disgrace .

The last day of the NBA regular season is upon us. Not too much to be excited for today. Joel Embiid will likely win the scoring title over LeBron James unless he plays and scores no points today. That’s probably the only thing to watch. TNT will be televising 2 games. Celtics vs Grizzlies and Warriors vs Pelicans. Can’t say I’ll be watching either, but I’m looking forward to the playoffs starting. We won’t get the Nets bs Lakers matchup in the finals I was hoping for, but I’m looking forward to seeing LaMelo in the play-in tourney and hoping Ben Simmons and Kawhi Leonard make postseason appearances.

I think it's better to take away Ben from the equation now, it's better if we will see Kahwi and then Powell back in action for the Clippers. I agree with the Reggie Jackson observation, but he still remains the glue when Kawhi is out and did a good job that's why there were able to at least go in the play-in. Otherwise, if his performance is bad, they couldn't even land to the spot that they are right now.

The Kings won the match between the Sacramento Kings and the Phoenix Suns. I was a little surprised because the performance of the Kings players was a little low this year. I guess the Suns didn't care too much about the game and wanted their players to rest.
Landry Shamet was the top scorer with 27 points. It was also a good performance with JaVale McGee getting 13 rebounds
