I see some Momentum. Nice job. I have been feeling the Nets have turned it up lately and don't expect them to not try hard nightly. Wiping out anyone they play for the remainder of the season will not be a surprise.

That LA game will be interesting. I don't think there's many games James gets excited about these days but what a thrill it would be for him to knock off Irving/ Harden/ Durant (assuming he returns) in one go, basically as a lone star. Wouldn't put it past him. Lakers are deep anyway.

Celtics getting reinforcements tonight. Expect they will bounce back strong with Theis defending the pick & roll and Walker pushing pace. Pels without Adams tonight, and their alternative options are poor. Billy is slow, Hayes is stupid, and Melli is also slow.

What a 4th Qtr by The Suns! Or I could say what an embarrassment by Pelicans.I know the Pelicans completely suck, but that 4th quarter is an all time low. They could barely crack the double digits even in total garbage time.

Nice work on the picks.

[IBetYou]

Thanks Pip. Yeah I would say a bit more bad Pels than good Suns. Ingram prone to these disappearing acts.

Bulls pathetic. For all the talk about LaVine's improvement he still plays like he's got blinkers on. Passing the ball is just like looking into a 4th dimension for him... Not an all-star imo.

[IBetYou]

Dunk of the decade there for Anthony Edwards

His shooting %'s are crazy this year Thybulle/Embiid a tough matchup.

Jamal Murray with one of greatest games of all time 50 pts on 21-25 8 3s 100% effective FG and no FTS wow.

[IBetYou]

He's a prolific scorer but I don't like the way he plays. Thinks he has to shoot it every time and the defense knows it. It's a style a play that worked OK in the 80s & 90s. Nowadays you have to be team oriented. James got it right early in his career when stupid media pundits were criticizing him for passing the ball late in games. That game just now... Sixers gave the Bulls every chance to cover...

Rozier has some set of balls on him. Gaymond gets tossed, he hits 2 tech FTs for the tie then a crazy fadeaway shot at the buzzer for the win. You know if that went to OT the Warriors would be getting every tight call in the book

[spippen]

Suns rolling. Nice pick.

Nonsense. He's actually a really good passer, but passes too much if anything. He's too unselfish. He is a complete beast with the ball, and in fact might be the best offensive player in the league. He still sucks on defense, but offensively he might have more skills than anyone. The way he gets through tight spots is unreal.

Shouldn't even discuss whether he's an all-star.

His offensive efficiency is off the charts and that's without much help.

Oh, 38 points on 20 shots tonight. 15/20.

Two extremes. LIke rm18 wrote, Thybulle & Embiid last night, tonight whoever & Bagley. I have plenty of guards in the East ahead of him, but America loves a scorer hence Beal an AS starter.

[IBetYou]

China is a big voter on this stuff, and they love their scoring too. The defense in their league WHOAA!

You're not paying attention. There are not plenty of guards in the East ahead of Lavine. For a good laugh, I'll ask you to name them. I assume plenty means at least 4 or 5.

Couple of former lottery pick/ busts facing off at the pg position in Orlando tonight. I prefer MCW to Smith. In Tampa, I'm going with the schedule angle. Raptors ought to be feeling the strain now. We'll see if that Fla home court is any good for them.

Sixers' defense is something special. Not quite contenders imo, but a unique team.

Don't know what to make of that Clippers performance. Bad matchup?

[IBetYou]

But what does embedded in the line mean? You mean when the line looks off to the casual bettor then that is the giveaway? That's not a bad strategy, but better to be one of those that are onto it in the first place.

I'd be wary of fading the thunder. They've managed to be a surprise team for a 2nd year running. I have a couple plays, I'll post later -don't like to get burned by the injury report

Clippers seem to have a lot of trouble with the elite centres of the game. Over the off-season they swapped Harrell for Ibaka, but the problem remains. Paint protectors like Gobert or the traditional Euro skilled variety like JV/ Jokic/ Vucevic/ Boban. JV questionable tonight. Think the Clippers bounce back anyway. More physicality, more control of the action.
