What can you expect from Westbrook, he was already struggling, it will not change right away.
The best thing to do by the Lakers to him is just to trade him, they should also consider the current performance of Westbrook so they'll not be too demanding.


Jazz definitely played with great chemistry, no superstar, no problem as everyone is doing their job well.

Here are my picks and prediction for NBA games tomorrow, and I am doing a parlay on the favorite team,


New York Knicks VS Orlando Magic

The stake odds for this game are 1.28 for the Knicks and 3.85 for the Magic, even with the great performance of Paolo Banchero and Terrence Ross it is not enough for the Magic when they are facing a well-known team, they surely lack experience and Basketball is a game of teamwork you can not rely on two to 1 person in winning the game, they will surely need the experience they can get in every game, that is why New York Knicks is my pick,

Miami Heat VS Toronto Raptors

The stake odds for this game are 1.63 for the Heat and 2.35 for the Raptors, Miami Heat will surely win this Yesterday's game the Heat have beaten the Raptors, and I have a parlay so I am going with the Heat,

Houston Rockets VS Utah Jazz

The stake odds for this game are 1.87 for the Rockets and 1.98 for the Jazz, I really like the Utah Jazz right now but I have a parley and this would be a close match but for me, I will be going with the Rockets,

Memphis Grizzlies VS Brooklyn Nets

The stake odds for this game are 1.80 for the Grizzlies and 2.06 for the Nets, Grizzlies are a sure win here, sorry about KD fans, but the Grizzlies can become a champion if it wasn't for Morant's injuries,

Chicago Bulls VS Boston Celtics

The stake odds for this game are 2.5 for the Bulls and 1.51 for the Celtics, for me the Celtics have proven so many times that they deserve the championship so my pick will be the Boston Celtics,

Portland Trail Blazers VS Denver Nuggets

The stake odds for this game are 1.53 for the Blazers and 2.60 for the Nuggets, I like the Denver Nuggets they have a good team play as well but I have a parlay so I am sticking to it now, and going with the Blazers,

It amazes me to see youngsters playing like this.
Lauri Markkanen, well he showed how good he is during the Eurobasket. They defeated so many good teams there with his help but they were unlucky to face the champions Spain in the playoffs.
That is where I believed this guy will be something in NBA but I didn't expect it will be now. 
If there is a comparison, this type of his game is like the young Kevin Love in Timberwolves. Maybe better, because of Lauri's passing ability.
Now they defeated one of the teams that I am predicting to be Finals contenders, the Pelicans. A very good start for the Jazz.

Don't worry mate because I'm also seeing the same thing, Jokic is indeed a bit overrated and I'm more inclined with Embiid because the latter have something more to give to the team and not just a literal role of center, also, Embiid can carry the team unlike Jokic that needs his teammate to bring the team to a win. Watching Jokic play is like seeing a slowed replay, I don't know why

Yes definitely!
Green can defend some centers (with difficulty), but on the other hand, he can defend players smaller than him, for example some PF, SF and even SG

Another interesting information... Jokic is much more offensive, unlike Green, who is a defensive player.

Damn right. This is the same with the Ben Simmons case. He can't shoot, so why force it. Somehow, he will learn it on his way to being a star because he will need it to stretch the options of plays he can make as a point forward. If he can do a hesitation move acting like he was shooting, then he will be more terrifying as a ball handler.
Ja Morant on the other hand is already trying. He is shooting threes but his form is not yet perfect. Well, Steph's form is also not a good one because a good defender could easily block it if not for his quick release. Training is the key.

Not bad for the Pelicans, they really pushed the game hard and not to let the Jazz win the game in an easy competition,

Too bad Both Zion and Ingram were unable to complete the game due to injuries, that hard hit of Zion worries the NOP so they need to
bench him and assess his condition, same with Ingram. He just played for 11 mins but he score 10 points. What more if he completed
the game, lucky escape for the Jazz.

Honestly did not expected Lakers to start this bad. I get the warriors loss, but this latest Portland loss is a big bells are ringing type of deal. They were not ready for the season? Did they not really worked hard on figuring out how they could get better?

It's obvious that they were bad last year, you can't just roll the dice again and hope for a better result, they needed to change some things, even if not in the roster (which they have a bit) but also with the plays. Look at Spurs, they have one of the worst teams in the league and yet they started 2-1, one of the wins coming from Sixers. That's the difference between a good coach and a bad coach.

That's versatility, we have seen players in the past that can do that as well, Dennis Rodman for one is the classic example of this. He is not that big, but he is very strong and can guard center during his era, even Shaq and the muscular Karl Malone.

Because that's what his team needs of him and that's why he become a back to back MVP, he has put a statistical numbers that only Joel Embiid can match. Unfortunately, Joel is just a runner up. But we will see if Jokic can have that numbers again or someone will take over as the new MVP for this season.
