Yes, it's not WB's fault at all, but as you have said, their balance has been affected, Mann is a good contributor as well but Ty Lue decided to switch and give WB more playing team and with that, they are not winning games.

And that's what we have been saying for the Clippers, if they don't know where to fit WB then definitely it will affect them in the long run.

Of course, WB given more playing time will produce numbers for him, but in the end, what's importance is that they are winning, but in this case, they haven't get that hump with WB as Clippers.

Everyone knows Charlotte is terrible. They're the 4th worst team in the NBA this year currently, but this is a perfect game for the Suns to test the chemistry between everyone. No pressure at all. We all know Durant can play, but how well can he play with the team?

Durant and the Suns are hot, they lead double digits now in the second quarter and Durant looks flawless with 12 points already. Probably he just excited to play again and the Suns are giving him that much time.

Probably easy 20+ points game for him and most likely a blow out as everyone as expected as they are the favorite in this game.

edit: 40-26 is the score.

I'm bummed I can't watch the game but it's nice to see the Suns on top and Durant seemingly playing well.  Booker is still the one leading the team in shots, but I don't expect that to be the case forever.  Durant shooting 2/3 from 3 point and 6/9 from the field currently is a good sign that he's back to feeling like his old self from the injury.  Chris Paul doesn't seem to be doing all that much looking at the stat sheet but I guess it doesn't matter if they're winning.  It looks like Booker, Ayton, and Durant might all end the game with 20+ points.  I suspect they'll be a pretty hard team to beat when that happens.

Knicks just stunting on the NBA right now.  They got a good rhythm.  Scored 81 in the first half tonight's.  Nets aren't a good team but regardless these games are encouraging.  I know there isn't many teams that are glad to see them on the schedule. 2 big away games against Miami and Boston again coming up.  Then a 4 game west coast swing.  Pivotal 2 weeks here.

Well, the Lakers v Grizzlies game was interesting.
Morant, as expected, played extremely well, as for the Lakers, with the absence of LeBron James, I have no doubt that he left the Lakers more fragile, but even so, AD led the team (28 points and 19 rebounds).

In the OKC x Lakers game, Los Angeles team played well, and somehow managed to supply (even if superficially the absence of LJ and AD)
I confess that I'm liking how Schroder has been playing lately for the Lakers, in addition to being consistent (in games/score) he is also managing to lead the team if necessary

Maybe not that impressive because they beat a team that's on the bottom right now, but a win is still a win and Congratulations to them.

I thought that Davis will play, but I didn't see him play. Overall, still a good win for the Lakers, and a very important win for them. I mean every win for them is very important for them to reach at least the play-in tournament. They are only 1 game behind 9th seeded team Jazz, and 10th seeded Pelicans, and only 2 games behind the 7th seeded Mavericks and the 8th seeded Timberwolves. With how the Mavericks are playing on their last games, I'm afraid they might go down from clinching to the playoffs to be in the play-in tournament.

Like Stephen A. I'm also optimistic with this Lakers team, and they have a high chance to clinch the play-ins or best the playoffs.

Right now they are really going to the NBA playoffs and expectedly be one of the teams to be at the top that will gonna compete to get to the NBA finals. I'm not closing the opportunity for the other team but we all know that they are already strong without KD and now that they have him and he is healthy, they are gonna be unstoppable until the NBA playoffs. If they can get passed against the Sacramento Kings easily in their next game, then their chance would be even higher. They will gonna be against the Bucks just a few more games before playoffs, they should take that opportunity to learn how to beat them in the NBA finals if they really managed to get to it.

Classic Kevin Durant. The Phoenix Suns will be one of the teams that is difficult to defeat from now on. Even KD takes a rest, Booker will be there, then they have Warren, CP3, and Ayton. He just need someone who could space the floor more and let him do his isolation game. A very big catch by the Suns here and now they are on the discussions of a championship contender once again.
Brooklyn Nets on the other hand, (where KD came from) is unable to win another game after receiving Bridges and Johnson. 1 win in 7 games. It must be hard for them to create chemistry.
