I think Lakers problem actually trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, I think having Lebron might actually be a part of that problem because of the expectation of him to single handedly carry them along side a barely usually healthy Anthony Davis all season long, AD is always barely healthy and was already holding is back yesterday again, even LeBron had an awful night yesterday, so at least there was no finger pointing towards WestBrook. AD is a fantastic player and option for Lakers when fit, but how many of the 82 regular games can he be predicted to be actually available for, and I'm not talking about major surgery or injuries, and as for Westbrook, I actually believe he's fall off his usual best, but not by so much imo, if we're being honest statistically, he's always been stats paddling and we all probably know it already, and I also think he's just being primarily tasked with doing tasks he's not accustomed to, he's wasn't praised in his former teams for dropping points like LeBron each night so expectation of such standards is highly ridiculous imo, and he's succumbing to those pressures by trying to do too much, which only leads to more problems for him and the team as a whole.

Same outcome from the last 2 games they start strong but finsihed the game with a loss.

Nothing to say with what happened to this game, critics can rest for a while blaming
WB with this loss as he is not present and the same thing happen with the team.
They really needed to find a way to fix this, they do have problem with the current setup
and the outcome like this will just berepeated without a doubt.

Brooklyn Nets actually looks pretty solid too me rn, but they just still out of sync, they made good plays last night but their just shots just would not fall into the basket, they stood a pretty decent chance to win the game last night, but it was all down to their very poor FGM% and some little details, once they get that sorted, they should surely be the real deal.

That being said I'm still going to fade on them tonight and back the Mavericks, but I'll only be settling for the ML

I understand your point and I quite agree, especially with Ben Simmons, but he's just got to face it, and the only way to get through it, is to go through it. but that asides he made some pretty solid defensive plays and decisions with setting screens and whatnot, if only Kyrie Irving and Durant, even Royce have had the shot fall, they could have won, or at least stand a better chance.

Here is my pick for later



As usual, I am just betting on the moneyline and avoiding over under bets for the mean time. I am betting the warriors will bounce back from their loss against the Suns and will make strong in their match against Miami Heat.

With Oklahoma Thunders vs La Clippers, LA Clippers is a heavy favorite in this match, but I am betting that the losing streak of the Lakers will continue, and Oklahoma will surprise them.

@danherbias07 @jakelyson Congratulations guys.
Our bets won.

Paul George played last night, but he didn't contribute much to the team.

Blazers vs Rockets.

I have the Blazers -4 at home, they'll certainly gonna bounce back after a disappointing loss against the Heat.
I don't think Blazers will lose again, they start the season with a good win streak, so I'm certain they will bounce back strong and that -4 will be easily covered.

I like your pick, that +8.5 is very attractive but I like the ML on that one more because Jazz is a decent team, they are in a winning streak so upset is not a surprise if it will happen again. This is one of the games that I will watch tomorrow, let's see if the Jazz can give a good game to the Nuggets.

About the Boston Celtics, well, always bet on them as they are consistent so far.

The Brooklyn Nets is still a threat in this league, it's just that the other teams now are taking advantage of the Nets situation while they are still chaotic and out of synch. They just needed someone else to step up their game to help their superstars in carrying the team because it is evident that Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving can't do the task alone. There's nothing to worry about as of now because the season have just started, the real deal is about to happen in the next few weeks.

Right now, I'm leaning towards the Milwaukee Bucks -6.0 @ 1.91 to have their 4th win-streak versus the New York Knicks.

I'll be fading the Lakers as well as it's looking like they're heading toward their fifth loss and their losses on the road are within double digits. Plus the odds are slowly moving towards the Timberwolves even further since the lineups are confirmed on the side of the Lakers with James and Westbrook expected to play while AD seems to be sitting this game out.



Edit: Too close for comfort as it came down in the last 20-30 secs with the back and forth free throws.
