I initially thought that it was a bad foul, but it was a clean block by Clarkson so no harm from him. Unfortunately, Zion might have put a lot power in that dunk, so obviously the fall is very hard since he attempts it with one hand.

So hopefully he will be OK, maybe need to take a rest after this game. And we want to see is a healthy Zion throughout this season so that we can witnessed how far this team can go with CJ on their lineup. Ingram, Williamson and CJ is already solid team.

I could care less who took the shot. I'm more into the manner how it was taken. Anyone with good awareness would run down the clock before taking it. Doing so would also give the opponent as little time as possible to make their own play. That's not how "superstars" are in my book. He's supposed to be the first to know being the floor general.

If that shot was made, then he will be a hero of the night, right? Even though it's considered a bad play of the night, what if the other way around happened? With lots of critics about him, even if he didn't attempt to make that shot, if the Lakers will lose, he's still blamed for that loss.

I don't consider that bad play for him as truly bad because it means he still has the confidence to take that clutch shot that totally almost not present in him last season because of too much pressure from the critics. It's hard to play with all eyes looking at him.

The whole Lakers have to blame for why they lost that game. They are in lead by about 9 points in the last 2 minutes of that game. Is it only because of Westbrook that they blew that lead in the last minutes?

Exactly, these two players that you mentioned are versatile, the team coach can use them as a fundamental piece for the team.

Another player I would like to share is LeBron James.
Basically, he has several unique characteristics that make him the most well-rounded player in the NBA.

LJ can easily play in 3 different positions, such as SG, SF and PF.

I may be talking something meaningless, but I believe LeBron James is one of the most well-rounded players in NBA history.

But it would've been easier if we were to bet on the Boston Celtics since they started strong early beating Miami Heat and the Philadelphia 76ers. This is unexpected as many thought this is free money for the Celtics bettors. What an odd result, the unbeaten and favored by the odds as the strongest team in the NBA just lost to a team embarrassed in their last game.   

Cleveland Cavaliers has a decent line-up now with Donovan Mitchell running their offense. Pretty good starting line-up from 1 to 5 and they have decent bench players too. It all depends now on chemistry and see if they can match against last season's top teams.

I watched a video on Youtube regarding this one and I can say that it really is a bad decision coming from Westbrook.

Even Lebron put his hands up when Russ shot that ball with that much time left. I mean Russ is shooting worse at the perimeter and a whopping 8% from the 3-point area. If I'm Lebron, I will not give the ball into Russ in the dying seconds of the game because aside from him being unreliable, he is also making bad decisions aside from the fact that he is shooting awfully both in the perimeter and in the 3-point area.

It's a bad play indeed but on the other hand, Lebron and Coach Ham is still defending him. Westbrook himself is still proud of how he played and don't care about what the fans and people are saying to him. He's a liability right now to the team instead of him helping the team to win. I still remember when Le-GM is pushing Westbrook to come to the Lakers and now here's the consequence.

Here is the result for my picks today, I really think that my bets were not bad,

New York Knicks VS Orlando Magic SCORE 115 - 102 - WIN

Paolo Banchero will be a big threat in the future that is for sure, this kid still has a ceiling to fill up, and with 21 points in the game Wendell Carter Jr got a double-double of 11 rebounds and 17 points but it was not enough because the New York Knicks Jalen Brunson got 21 points, R.J. Barrett got 20, and Julius Randle has double-double performance of 12 rebounds and 25 points, winning the game against the Magic,

Miami Heat VS Toronto Raptors SCORE 90 - 98 - LOST

A close game indeed and actually I really think that the Miami Heat will win this, but unfortunately it did not go according to plan, Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro both got double-double performances while Jimmy Butler got 26 points aren't enough to win the game, because Precious Achiuwa is a monster in rebounding, he got a double-double of 22 rebounds and 10 points, Gary Trent 18, pascal Siakam 23, and Fred VanVleet has 24, to win the game,

Houston Rockets VS Utah Jazz SCORE 114 - 108 - WIN

Actually, I really like the Utah Jazz plays it was really a team play but I think they still are looking for that chemistry, while the Rockets did a great show, Jalen Green got 25 points, and Jabari Smith Jr. got 21 points while a double-double for Kevin Porter Jr. or 10 rebounds and 26 points winning the game against the jazz,

Memphis Grizzlies VS Brooklyn Nets SCORE 134 - 124 - WIN

As I thought the Grizzlies will surely win this, even though Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are striking great points both creating 37 points each, it was not enough for the Grizzlies tandem of Desmond Bane and Ja Morant, both got 38 points each, it was really a close game for both teams,

Chicago Bulls VS Boston Celtics SCORE 120 - 102 - LOST

Not expecting the Celtics will be defeated by the Bulls, both Jalen Brown and Jayson Tatum did remarkable performances, Brown got 21 while Tatum got 26 points, but it was not enough for Nikola Vucevic to get mighty on rebounds and made a double-double of 23 rebounds and 18 points and DeRozan got a huge 25 points for the Bulls,

Portland Trail Blazers VS Denver Nuggets SCORE 135 - 110 - WIN

The Trail Blazer did an amazing job they really stopped the Joker from getting any further damage because Nikola Jokic just got a triple 9 in this game, Jusuf Nurkic just got solid with a double-double of 12 rebounds, and 13 points, Jerami Grant got 21 points, Anfernee Simons got 29 points and Damian Lillard had 31 points, winning it big on Denver Nuggets,

What the heck! You are not really getting the point here and just focus on that Westbrick brick shot.

Did you even look at those other wrong plays prior to that 18 seconds left? Start at the last 2 minutes of the 4th Quarter and see for yourself how the hell happened that the Lakers only lead by 1 after being ahead by 9 points in the last 2 minutes.

The Lakers lose that game not just because Westbricks failed a shot with 18 seconds left remaining. You are too focused on Westbrook or I think you didn't watched that game and just go with the flow with the Westbrick comment that focuses on that 18 seconds left.

Still early from this season so better to sideline him and rest for this one, not that much to affect since they've got a lot of games
to bounce back, they need to play wise with Zion this time.

Fans will not appreciate if they will see Zion's got a serious injury again and be bench for the rest of the season, it's best to keep him
in his best shape, the winning chance is good with him and Ingram playing alongside with Jonas and CJ.
