Well, bad news for Spurs that they are going to play against Sixers and that game will be a tough one, they have won their first 2 games but Sixers is a team that wants to go to finals this year if they can, so that game will be a tough one and I wouldn't bet for spurs to win.
However good news for Spurs, Portland blazers the team that is trailing spurs will play rockets and that does look like a very tough game for Portland as well. All in all that 8th spot for western conference will have a very fiery competition, I would love to watch who ends up getting it, I think only grizzlies, spurs and Portland has a chance, and if there is 4 game difference between the 8th and 9th that means they will play a game to 3 between them as well which I think if that happens Spurs would get that.

Sixers is heavily favored against the Spurs, they are -7 right now, but I think sixers still needs to prove and win more, they lose their last game against the Pacers so I don't think spurs does not have a chance here, let's see if Embiid can abuse inside that LA is not their. However good news for Spurs, Portland blazers the team that is trailing spurs will play rockets and that does look like a very tough game for Portland as well.

The only good news is if the Memphis will keep losing as they are holding the current number 8 spot now, that's the only way they will qualify. |

Nuggets finally won a game, and thanks to N. Jokic, his struggle is over, he scored a triple double tonight to get this win.
30 points, 10 assists, and 12 rebounds. It was a thrilling game, it went to OT but the Nuggets dominate on the OT.
Paul's fault though as he missed 1/2 of FT that could give them a win.

Jokic had a good night and some players step up as well, good for the team, doubt is over on Jokic now. Paul's fault though as he missed 1/2 of FT that could give them a win.
Paul was clever though, he was the one who initiated the contact to get a foul, so they deserve the lose,.. plus the slap on Morris face.  .. Dirty Paul. That's why I like Rondo took a punched on him. haha |

That's really close, Nuggets outpowered the Thunders during the overtime, and yes Jokic showcase his dominance on this game Though Porter Jr have also a good game but the last quarter and the OT it's nice seeing a big man with that triple double double. Congrats to Nuggets escaping this one. |

It's really a bad news having that 3 win streak and yet it will just ended by Sixers. Still has 7 minutes before it ends and the Spurs is still trailing with Sixers but not that huge of a gap. To those 6 that are still struggling for that 8th seeds I think Spurs and Blazers are the one that can dominate and clinched it, these teams are playoffs contenders to be honest. Exciting who'll challenged the Lakers once playoff begins. Edit: Sixers win over Spurs 132 - 130. That was really close. |

Nikola Jokic & Michael Porter Jr
Nikola Jokic
30 PTS - 12 REB - 10 AST
Michael Porter Jr
37 PTS - 12 REB
Both players were phenomenal, Nikola Jokic seems to be playing in slow motion. He is seen to think faster than others, which is advantageous to him as today's game.

Congrats to Nuggets escaping this one. They are due for a win, never bet against the Nuggets as they always bounce back, so next, I am expecting them to keep winning. on the other hand, nice win by the Lakers, Davis was a beast in this game, he was phenomenal as he take in charge while Lebron is also very efficient. |

Spot on. That is how he play. Slow game, but with offensive and defensive awareness at the highest level. He may not that be as athletic as other players, but damn he was so good whether in the paint or outside making assists. Must be tough. I'm curious which team would you bet on to claim the 8th spot? Me, well I'm still rooting for Grizzlies despite their two defeats, since it was just a very close game. And they must be troubling about it  . And so, I am pretty sure they will do much better on their next game though. They just need to improve their defense (this is where, I think, they were lacking)  . On the other hand, their offense was no doubt great, they can score pretty well both behind the arc, and inside as well, won't deny that. I am having doubts now. When I saw the Spurs play so strong even without Aldridge, I said to myself, "Pops, is really great!" They want that spot so bad and they won 2 of 3. The loss against the 76ers is just a 2 point game differential. Still, this is going to be a rough road for those under Grizzlies. |

Spurs were going almost 3 for 3 last night, they hada decent guy on embiid, I get that it is hard to guard a guy like embiid who can play post if he wants to, can shoot mid range, bank it in, can shoot threes and all of that at the same time so it is a hard person to guard however at the last second of the game you do not guard inside, if they get a tie they get a tie and that's it, but if you leave the outside open you are talking about losing the game like this.
If Murray was guarding his own man a bit more instead of trying to help out everywhere, Milton wouldn't be able to hit that last second shot and Spurs could have been a serious contender for that 8th spot right now. Anyway, at least Grizz lost to pelicans as well, now next games are Portland vs Rockets which I think rockets would win, and jazz vs grizzlies which jazz could win, but spurs have nuggets which will be very tough.

Well I think this is because they can't afford to not break their record to make on the playoffs season. They've made 22 streak to make it on the playoffs since 1998 and that's a record they want to make right now to be number 1 if they can clinched that. They've tied with 76ers to have 22 streak to make it on the playoffs, see below. https://www.landofbasketball.com/statistics/playoffs_made_streaks.htmBoth 3 of the best contender to clinched that 8th seed has tough teams to play I think they'll be having a hard time but I'm still rooting for Spurs to get that and make a history. |

Who watched the match of Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks. Well, Bucks lost but the game was hot and intense as Giannis and Hall gets into each other. Giannis was about to attack and confront Hall but he was stopped and the game continued.
The game was close. That last second of DiVincenzo, I thought that it will make a buzzer-beater but it didn't because the ball taps to his leg.

There's a lot of games to watch, hehe.. I was not able to watch this one, but thanks for telling us what happened, I'm checking the highlights of the game now. I have a friend in the nba betting thread who won in this game as he bet on the Nets to win, that was x18 of betting odds. |

I don't even consider this close. If you will be looking at the game again their coach are lineups are like a preseason team. Giannis is in the game for what? Like 20 minutes and he's done. I think the reason behind this is just that they wanted Brooklyn to take the 8th spot and for them to have a smooth run in the playoffs, what do you guys think? |

Possible they choose to let brooklyn wins over their team. This is really possible because this is also about betting. Remember the game lakers and raptors where raptors win the game. Lakers relatively had the advantage on that match but it seems like they betting on the other side so this results for letting them to give the win to raptors. So this goes the same way to bucks and brooklyn. Bucks record is already on top so win or loss in that game they can still have the chances to take the spot. |

Bucks losing, Lakers losing to raptors, clippers losing 2 games, rockets losing to Portland. It looks like big teams didn't come to play, they just came in to have fun and stroll through the regular season 8 games and just focus on making as much fitness and match shape they can before they go into games that really matters.
I understand that after such a long break if they somehow get back into playing with 100% they might actually hurt themselves so they need to be careful, but I am not seeing even 70% from most teams, they are playing with 30-40% at best. Obviously not for lower end teams, the 8th spot for western conference looks like it is going to be freaking awesome, we are talking about 4 teams that could potentially be there, and it could be any one of them.

Top teams doesn't need to play like they usually play, it's just a bonus if they will play harder but they know the risk of getting injured, for example, if the Lakers will be hard and they got Davis injured, their playoff journey might be affected as Davis is valuable in the team, but the last time they played against the Jazz, I think that one they really play hard. |

I think the reason behind this is just that they wanted Brooklyn to take the 8th spot and for them to have a smooth run in the playoffs, what do you guys think? It could be though. But do they even really need to go to such length? I mean, they were good enough to beat whatever team might take the 8th spot, in my opinion . Anyway, they still show great gameplay despite Giannis limited time  . One more thing, funny thing I stumble upon while looking for some news between the two is this (can't help but to share): Garrett Temple said the Nets saw the Rockets over by the pool yesterday. Told them they had the Bucks and apparently gave them some tips on how to beat the Bucks. Source: https://www.google.com/amp/s/clutchpoints.com/nba-news-rockets-dish-out-details-nets-how-beat-bucks-disney-world-resorts-pool/amp/It seems like, it works out . But nah, just kiddin', and I won't even say that it was a real deal game, if Bucks weren't even letting out their two main guys for long. |

I think Clippers will win the championship this season. Their line up is good, the players good and they really have the potential to win the championship or maybe at least they’re on the semis. Though they lose last time, that’s not the reason to lose in their next game. They are just protecting there selves to injury. The season has just started they don’t play every games like finals. Much better to play safe than to get injury.
