NBA 2018/19

Here's a FUN FACT

When Kyrie Irving is out, Boston Celtics are 21-3 at Home since he's been here but not suited up including Playoffs

I'd back a -4.5 tonight against Dallas who are 3-16 on the Road. Rozier will probably turn up, Brown, Hayward tend to perform better with increased roles too

Boston to win by 5+

Doncic crazy buzzers are a theme now

Hawks 43-76 Bucks at the HALF 😄 , that is so embarrasing idc how much better Milwaukee are

BOS 114-93 DAL

Boston 22-3 at home when Kyrie out. Just so strange. Handicap easily covered

Zach LaVine forces an OT with these threes



Oladipo drains this 3 with .3 remaining in the OT to give Indiana a 3 pt lead



LaVine then nails this 3 but it DOESN'T COUNT unfortunately



ABSOLUTELY WILD FINISH IN CHICAGO, BUT INDIANA WIN 119-116. WOW

Grizzlies lost again my goodness they're playing so bad.. Nets are balling but still man you gotta win a home game against them if ur Memphis

Bucks beat ATL 144-110 😄 , my god

They're playing some crazy basketball right now, getting that 1st seed too now

God the Lakers are sad to watch without LeBron.. You'd think the young core have improved but it just don't look like it. Ingram and Lonzo are too inconsistent

CRAZY 😲

Yup, wouldn't surprise me if they ran away with it because Toronto are dealing with injuries now and Milwaukee are on absolute fire. We'll see how it pans out though cause Indiana are there too

The Lakers are an abomination, plain and simple. Losing to the Knicks is unacceptable i dont care how many dudes you're down. Ingram and Lonzo choked again, for 2nd picks they are a joke in the clutch and I think if the Pelicans are up for it, I'm making a call for AD and giving them up and them some if they want. Also Luke Walton should be FIRED, he does absolutely nothing as a coach. LeBron will take them to the playoffs but with this supporting cast they going nowhere. Season a disappointment as of RN

Takeaways

Denver are rolling right now

Mavs road struggles continue to go on

Cavaliers are a joke currently

Pelicans finally come through with a good performance

Big statement win for Toronto

Pascal Siakam is a BEAST

Spurs are absolutely RED HOT

Harden and the Rockets finally get stopped

Kings just can’t seem to win a close game against the Warriors this season

Curry again proved why he’s the best shooter in the NBA

Interesting Stats and Facts

Nuggets have won 10 straight home games

Mavericks are now 3-18 on the road this season

Cavaliers have lost 9 straight games

Cavs have lost last 6 home games all of them being by double digits. Avg Margin of loss - 23.5 pts

Cavaliers have already lost as many games as last season with 32

Pascal Siakam broke his pts career high for the 2nd time in 2019

Spurs have won 11 of their last 12 home games

Grizzlies are 2-10 in their last 12

James Harden has now had 35+ pts 5+ ast 10 straight games extending the NBA record for that

Curry has had 10 threes in a game for the 11th time in his career. No other player has more than 4 of those games

Warriors are 3-0 against the Kings however all of their wins have been by 5 or less points

Kings are now below .500 at 19-20

Timberwolves started with a 26-5 lead against the Lakers.. jesus they need LeBron 😄

Defeats keep pilling on.. Beaten after 5 mins basically, Ingram 13 pts on 16 shots, Zo didn't even score, Hart 3/12 from the field. Young core not doing it, Luke Walton's rotations are an absolute joke, we're just 1 GA Utah now who will likely surpass the Lakers soon and move them to 9th. Playoff LeBron will have to be in full swing early this season

Brooklyn won again man they're balling, 20-21 now after starting 8-18. They might actually make the playoffs and to think that LeVert isn't even playing right now

What a turnaround. Minnesota Timberwolves has fired Tom Thibodeau. His career in NBA slowly regresses with every year and going down. I wouldn't be surprised if this was his last contract with the NBA team.

It’s so weird he got fired after a blowout win lol. It was coming Though really his style just doesn’t suit the NBA anymore and the doesn’t have the rough riders like in Chicago
