It was fools gold they were never destined to be a top team just had a hot start.  They are stacking draft picks so I'm sure they like to see them end up in the lottery.  This team going to the playoffs does nothing but ensure mediocrity.  They gave up once they parted with gobert and spida.

And the Lakers did take advantage of it.
Khris Middleton ended with 17 points 3/4 3pt. Not bad stats for his return after a long time.
High scoring game, I missed betting for the over total score, should've expected that as both teams are not playing well in defense. If I remember correctly it was 232.
Anthony Davis, another monster game but now focused on the offensive. 44 points and only 10 rebounds unlike his past games with 15+ rebounds that also ends with a win.

What an intense 4th Quarter battle between the Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks.

Starting from around the 6-7 minute mark, every play of both team are crucial and a mistake can cost a turnaround event. It's like every possession is a must. Both teams also show good offense and they are literally exchanging leads. Everyone will be impressed too with how both teams show their good defense, especially those amazing blocks. Damn Giannis. He is really no doubt unstoppable and even defended well, he really nailing those shots at the paint. However, the Lakers were able to maintain their good phase until the final buzzer.

Actually, there's a chance for the Bucks to force an OT after Russel Westbrook missed his last free throw (he will surely be criticized if the Lakers lose that game even though his overall game is good ) and when Giannis grab the ball on their possession, he should not think twice to attack the paint as he is unstoppable and might draw a foul for a 3-point play. But instead, he passed it to Holiday for a 3-point attempt to tie the game but failed to do so.

Oh, I didn't see that game ending although I was about to bet for the Rockets in 1st half while they are down by 8, I think the spread was +14.5 at that time. Man, what a waste, I should've never doubted my instincts.
Yeah, that was quite a game.
We have 4 intense games that happened today and 4 upsets.
The Lakers won against the Bucks.
Charlotte Hornets won against the Wizards.
Houston Rockets won against the Suns. - biggest upset. This was +10.5, pre-game.
Miami Heat won against the Celtics - a lot of gamblers are dragged on this loss as the Celtics are expected to keep the streak.

The big3 of Lakers  finally show confidence playing together, a monstrous game for AD leading the offense, with a healthy physical condition  he really can do the damage.

But the good thing here is Westbrook adjust a lot
Showing threats both in assist and  offense.

While  LeBron as we know the man he will provide plus the role players who all working hard to help.

I think when they have a good lead, the Lakers become comfortable at least unlike the Pacers games, they keep it solid all throughout the 4th quarter.

James main man is Giannis and I will say that he put a good effort guarding him although it's hard to stop a player like Giannis. AD is has on fire in his last 6 games or so, another numbers deserving to be a MVP. WB as well contributed in this game but he missed a FT, but still a win is a win for them.

I can feel you mate, sometimes we have our gut feeling that something big will happen between the game, but we didn't take that risk.

So lots of upset tonight, just shows that the team are almost balance and at certain games, it's really hard for us to predict who is going to win because there could be players from low rank team that will suddenly explode or just play like they are a championship team.

Jazz is on a 3 winning streak, so I decided to ride on them.

Tomorrow we have Jazz vs Blazers, Jazz will be hosting Blazers and they are favored by 4 points, so I'm taking it without hesitation.
Also, I have a feeling that this game will easily go to over, so I'm taking the over as well.

GL everyone.

It was a very good game, and the Lakers were pleasantly surprised me, their win against Milwaukee. Indeed, the game was very close in every quarter, and this only adds to the value of this victory. Yes, Middleton needs more time to find his game, LeBron also took some time to find his game. Well, Davis' game is also very pleasing, 44 points is something.
