I just read an article saying the Miami Heat were working on trade negotiations to get Kawhi Leonard from the Los Angeles Clippers.  With how well the Clippers are playing as of late I can't imagine they would want to break up the team now, unless something is going on behind the scenes.  Kawhi looks as happy as I've ever seen him lately and the team is winning a lot of games lately...  I pasted a link to the article below.

What do you think?  Are the Clippers ready to break up the Paul George and Kawhi Leonard experiment already?

Mavericks is still digesting yesterday's loss. They are struggling today against a tougher opponent. Without Kyrie and Dončić, it already seemed difficult for them to win.
Edwards and Gobert are playing very well. Towns didn't have much to do. Timberwolves will pull this game out in the second half.

No, I don't see this happening. It's only my opinion though.

The Clippers are playing very well this season, and they already have the momentum that they need since they acquired James Harden. I mean why break the core of the team if they're playing better already. We are seeing a healthy Kawhi Leonard this season, and it's the first he has been after years of that sh*tty load management.

I don't see the Clippers breaking the core knowing that all of them are healthy. It's just my opinion though because we know that anything can happen in the NBA including trading one of their superstars out of nowhere.

And the streak continues for the Detroit Pistons as they lost their 28th straight against the Celtics 128-126.

At one point, the Pistons were up by 21 points, and I thought that they would take care of that already until the end of the game, but it seems like they just choked. TBH, I didn't expect the game to end that close, and what I didn't expect is it would go to overtime. The Celtics are 0-3 coming to that overtime, and they just got their first overtime win this season. That Derrick White's three in the final 2 minutes of the game is the dagger because that shot gave them a 4-point lead.

Who will bet for the Pistons here reach 30-game losing streak? 

That was a game in Boston tonight. The Celtics almost got caught lacking as the Detroit Pistons took them into overtime. I thought they were going to beat the odds and bring and end to their losing streak but tonight wasn’t meant to be the night as they couldn’t hold on in overtime. They ended up losing 122-128 to the relief of Celtics fans.

^ It's a rough night for the Warriors, specially Steph Curry who in his second game didn't score in the first quarter so he has a off night shooting. Couple that with Kuminga and Klay Thompson as well. So their winning streak at 8 in Chase center has been snapped by the Heat.


I also thought that the Pistons are going to win here against Boston. They really give everything in their game, and even at 1:30 minutes to, when Celtics are all celebrating because of KP's 3 and having a 6 point lead, the Pistons didn't give up and Bog has big follow up to tie the score. And then they play defense on Tatum and force the game into overtime. But in was a different story in overtime as they can't match up with the Celtics intensity.

The Warriors could not win games by just shooting 24 percent in the rainbow country. That's where they live and die, for tonight they were just 8/33, they were outscored by the Heat in that department and also in the paint, Heat scoring 60 while the Warriors only have 50.

That's true, some games the Pistons could have won.
Even in this game against the Celtics at the end In the first half, I was surprised by Detroit's performance, I couldn't believe the feat they were accomplishing, but in the third quarter they lost and the Pistons players psychology only got worse... after all, I imagine they are shaken and are playing under extreme pressure, and this will only affect the chemistry between the players.

Well, the Pistons next game will be against the Raptos in Detroit, I believe that game will be less difficult than the Celtics, but as I said before, unfortunately the mentality and psychology of the Piston players are compromised and I have no doubt that this could be a determining factor in the outcome of this game.

It's like the entire world has watched to this game of Celtics and Pistons. Yeah, we all thought that it's going to be Boston Celtics that will end Pistons losing streak but that was just another crucial moment and even led to an overtime. We will see if the Raptors is going to be the team that will help Pistons to end their losing streak. I guess this series is becoming more fun and Pistons is getting more viewership on this time despite the negative situation that they're having right now due to the losing streak saga. Maybe they can convert this situation into a more profitable scene through viewership, no other thing than that.

Almost... but didn't happen. I had a feeling at the start of third quarter Pistons would lose this again. When Bogdanovic made the game go to overtime I thought maybe they have another chance but their overtime performance was terrible. It would've been an ironic win over Boston, which is unbeaten at home but the losing streak continues. They are not playing that badly but they still can't win. It has become a psychological thing. I think San Antonio is worse than them as a team, but even they have 5 wins.
