Yes, we forget about Facundo Campazzo, I mean he was a great contributor in the team, so I was surprised that we was waved by the Mavs team specially that they don't have Brunson who left for the Knicks.

Yes, this is a opportunity for the seasoned Kemba Walker to play again in NBA. When he was in his prime in Charlotte, he was really a fan favorite because of his cross over moves. But when he got traded he has been on a difficult journey jumping from one team to another. Specially in the Celtics uniform wherein we thought that he can compliment Tatum and Smart and Jalen Brown.

Unfortunately, they are just crumbling down and crashing right now. This season is even worse than last year and they did absolutely nothing compared to last year to make it any better so it is understandable for them to be this bad.

The horrible part is that, there are other teams that are crashing too, and tanking and getting bad results but those teams own their own picks, whereas Lakers do not even own their own pick which means it's doing very bad, even if they finish dead last, they won't have their own picks and they are not going to get any good players. This means that they need to blow it all up this off-season and another 4-5 seasons before they could ever be good again.

Julius Randle is having himself quite a night as the Knicks beat down the Pistons. Looking like he might go for 50 if they leave him in, which they probably won’t since they’re currently up by 32 in the 3rd quarter.

On the TNT doubleheader things are looking pretty even so far between the Mavs and Warriors at halftime. Klay hasn’t made a shot yet which I think is why the Warriors aren’t winning. I think he’ll find his rhythm in the second half and help the Warriors get the W.

The Lakers have won 2 of 3 games since LeBron came back. So I don't think he's the biggest problem for his teammates and the team as a whole. By the way, he was on the court for 36 minutes in the last game, and that didn't stop Davis from scoring 25 points and Westbrook from scoring 24 points. Of course, the other players were less productive, and their minutes might have been reduced because of LeBron. However, proper rotation of players is primarily the responsibility of the head coach, and that's really a problem for the Lakers because Ham doesn't have enough experience yet.

In the matches played last night, the surprise result was played between Dallas and Holden state and Dallas defeated Golden State 116-113 at home. At Golden State, Klay Thompson is back to score. In the game played the other day, the Los Angeles Lakers lost 1 point to Indiana at home. The stars of the Los Angeles Lakers gave the necessary contribution as a score, but they could not prevent the defeat. The Boston Celtics, on the other hand, are progressing in form.

Blazers still does not have Lillard, what do you expect?
Even if Simons and Grant will drop 30 points each night, it's still not enough if they don't have their best player.
At least the Blazers are playing their best, they were able to win some games and they are not at the bottom.

Right now they are at top 7 with 11-10 record, still above .500

They are playing all the best that they can, but in the final quarter the eagerness of Clippers to win is the one that dominates.
I agree that even Grant and Simon put on those huge numbers, but without Lilard, the chance of winning is slim.

We might see them win some games but in a tough competitions chances of losing are not by far,
let's wait for Lilard to return and see what fate Blazers have this season.

Still above .500 means that still good to move forward for the next round.

That is a lot of games again. I like it when there are lots of game, plenty of games to bet on.

The Lakers will need that win against Portland tomorrow because after that they will be on the road against 500 teams in the east. If they do not win it, they will be on a long losing streak again. I think their next 5 games are against 500 teams.


The problem is when Lebron is inside the court and he tried to control the ball, his teammates become idle until he releases the ball in the last seconds. The ball is stuck in his hands and there is very little rotation. That is bad for the team.

That 2 win was against the Spurs which are below 500 and rebuilding. They lost against the Pacers who is above 500. Now that Lebron is back, I expect that they would have won against Pacers easily, but they blew 17 points lead in the last 9 minutes of the game. They were not able to protect a huge lead, from a team that has AD, WB, and Lebron. And that is because in the 4th quarter, the ball is either stuck on Lebron or WB and they failed to utilize AD. They should do better if they want to beat Bucks, Wizards, Cavs, Raptors, and Sixers on the road.

I have no hate on Lebron but he should really go instead of giving suggestions to the management that they should get this and that because he is the one who is destroying the team, the Lakers doesn't need him anymore. Even coach Phil Jackson said that they should let him go if they still want to reach far this season and in the upcoming seasons, they should trade him while he still have got value because time will past by, he won't what he is today anymore.

Yes, he is good at the offensive side but the question is, does the team really need his offense in-exchange to be so bad at defense? The team is also doing everything they can, but it seems that Lebron is just a stumbling block that gives them struggles to properly do their posts. At the Pacer's game, I bet you saw that there were so many times that Lebron could've block that shot or at least give them struggles when they are trying to shoot the ball but no, he is already old to be aggressive again. Just look at them when Lebron's not around, they can move a lot and do a lot because they are not following his lead and wait for his actions.
