It's because the Rockets have two big in the middle and so with their small lineup, they are very quick in transition as well. The likes of Butler and Podz and Curry scoring in transition. And again, we can't really put in enough, Jimmy Butler, he has the experience and he is clutch here. Specially when he was fouled and hitting that crucial 3 free throws. There is also the collision with him but he still manage to sink 3 free throws as well. As for Jalen Green, he doesn't have the impact when they play in outside their homecourt. Maybe in the next game we might exploded, but the Warriors have their numbers already. While the Warriors is up 3-1, the Lakers is down 1-3 and could be eliminated in their next game.

OKC has played amazingly this season at playoffs too, they are looking like a dark horse candidate for the title. While I am aware that they finished the season first place and shouldn't be a "dark horse candidate", they have never won the title before and never looked good on playoffs before, so this is the first season they are looking great which means we could be seeing them having a great season if they are lucky.

For that reason I am considering how they are going to end up with a change. If we can make this work, then OKC could end up with a title, not that many teams come out of nowhere on previous season and win a title so OKC would be dark horse, but looks like they have what it takes to win, all pieces are right there.

Looks like the Dallas are into their move to take away the GM who gave Luka to Lakers. What do you think of having Dirk for the GM position in dallas.

It’s too early to say that it will be the celtics and cavliers in the ECF. We might not be seeing the full potential of the Pacers yet in the playoffs. They’re a different team now. Siakam, who struggled last season, looks very comfortable in his role this time. Everyone’s playing with heart, and their chemistry is on another level.

So I hope people won’t be surprised if they make it to the ECF as I honestly think they’re capable of it. In fact, in their dominant win last game, eight players scored in double digits. That just shows how dangerous this team really is.

Nice move, this should be done long overdue. The first day that the Mavs reportedly trading Luka, they should have contacted Dirk already before things went crazy for them. Last year was a good year for the Mavs despite that they've lost to the finals against the Celtics but no doubt that they've been far with Luka. We're all aware that Dirk likes Luka and followed him wherever he's playing. This might be a good sign for reconciliation of Luka and the Mavs, we all need this but for now we'll see if they'll be playing the last game tonight or not.

I'm sure both of you are Filipino not only because I see you on our local board, but also because your usernames are Tagalog words. But aside from that, it's so easy for you guys to believe things like this like typical of some Filipinos who are easily convinced by what they see online.

I don't think Dirk Nowitzki is qualified as GM because he doesn't have much experience working behind the scenes in team's management in short lack of experince..

The Lakers lack the support from others to win the game, it was only Luka and there are games that he is sick so he lost. But in the last game, he got help from Lebron and Austin Reaves their big three, but it was not enough.

And most of the role players of the Lakers lack the experience or they really don't have the mentality to be in the playoffs. I'm expecting the likes of Gabe Vincent and DFS to contribute as well in the scoring but they didn't. Rui Hachimura is inconsistent.

Haha, nice one. I got jebaited by that. I thought that it was a real news and that's because it's also being talked online. I didn't noticed that it was Shrams and not Shams.

He won't have any experience if they won't give him a try. Maybe this is already in the talks but if it's not then Nico should stay and as he believed, he's doing a great job for the Mavs with his decisions and if the management itself is satisfied with that, only time will tell after this season.

I strongly believe all the 3 series you mentioned will end today, and if any of them gets extended I believe the team is just delaying the inevitable. The Bucks are completely depleted after losing Lillard to a season ending injury, and it’s not as though the Bucks seem to match the Pacers, but with Damian, their chances are better. The Pistons are no push overs, but the Knicks would have to beat themselves for the Pistons to get another win at the MSG
