NBA 2018/19

That is strange, they played so well against Portland , and they go back to this again..

Lakers gotta blow the Spurs out, just straight up beat them down tbh...

Agreed, plus it’s not like they have a bad team on paper, two stars with arguably the best coach in the nba.. don’t get why they’re SO BAD

Mavericks look a legit playoff team imo

Takeaways

Orlando Magic are seriously becoming a legitimate playoff team in the East with their play

Mavs look unbeatable at home right now

Something is wrong with Portland

Suns are so uncompetitive

spurs are just flat out embarrassing themselves

Interesting Stats and Facts

Bulls have lost 7 straight and 11 of their last 12 games.

Mavericks have won 8 straight home games which is the 3rd longest home win streak so far this season

Blazers are 1-6 in their last 7 games.

Blazers have lost 4 straight road games by an average of 23.2 pts and they’re giving up 127 ppg in that stretch on the road. Awful.

Spurs have become the 1st team since 05-06 Blazers to lose 3 games by 30+ pts in the same week, also just the 5th in NBA History to do so

John Wall is out against Atlanta Tonight. I’ve stil got WAS -4.5 I think they’ll pull out the win regardless

Paul George 47 pts 15 Rebs in Brooklyn.. WOW man

Man the Nuggets are so good, another fantastic win on the road at Orlando and Gary Harris was out

JEEZ.. safe to say he had himself a night!

Yep, also russ had 21/15/17. That duo has been killin it this season. Looks like Melo being gone helped them big time

Looks like toronto layed down a pretty strong statement, 2-0 against philly this season and clearly looked like the better team so far

Kawhi Leonard against top teams this season

vs BOS - 31 pts 10 Rebs 3 ast
vs PHI - 31 pts 7 Rebs 4 ast
@ BOS - 31 pts 15 Rebs 4 ast
vs GSW - 37 pts 8 Rebs 3 ast
vs DEN - 27 pts 8 Rebs
vs PHI - 36 pts 9 rebs

BIG GAME PLAYER

Crazy stat line aswell, just noticed that they were down 20 in the 4th and still won which is ridiculous, but also another horrible chokejob by Brooklyn 😄

Facts 😄 Brooklyn have taken choking to a whole new level these past 2 weeks

I was expecting Philly to win cos they were beaten badly in the first meeting, but Toronto just seem to have a mental edge rn. Embiid was shut out tonight too

Very unusual performance by Embiid, looked out of sorts and got thoroughly outplayed by Valanciunas.

Memphis clamping the clippers to 86 pts is unreal.. their defense is crazy good man

So weird to watch a warriors Cavs game without LeBron man

Yeah Valanciunas went off in the 4th, had like 18 pts which was crazy

Absolutely spectacular 4th quarter by LeBron James, Man I thought we’d lose to the spurs again but came away with a great win. Young core playing well too especially Lonzo. Great time to be a Laker fan really right now just hope ingrams injury isn’t serious
