I saw Zion from Pelicans playing vs the bucks. The big rookie player is a good pick from the Pelicans and can do also better inside the court. He had given some time already to play with their star players. Their game earlier was a little bit awkward to him for he is new and needs more adjustments especially having some good players around in the Pelican team. Well, we will be hoping for the best of NBA in this season 2021.

Predicting NBA games can be very difficult or maybe it’s because I’m not a full fan of NBA games. But I wish I can predict the games very well because lately I’m beginning to have interest in the game.

You're not just a full fan of it. This isn't about game predictions but discussions about the latest news and updates about NBA players, teams and everything inside NBA.

Start watching games. You can follow the schedule on their website.

Alright It seems that Harden really fits the Nets rotation by looking at his number with a triple double on his Nets debut.
I'm not really sure about that since I have tuned in during the 4th quarter of the game. Though the Magic still manage to put the game within their reach. Not so huge win from the Nets, but a very good performance for these both superstars.

Anybody here looking forward to see the Lakers and Nets match up? with complete roster.

^^ Impressive debut, specially with the 30+ points, first player in NBA history to have that numbers in a debut. Nevertheless, this is just one game and we can't say if he really fits with the team or not. We have to wait till Kyrie gets back, in his debut his is the one bringing the ball so we don't know where him and Kyrie share being the point guard on the team. Notice the same though, all the teams are waiting for Harden for isolation, Durant get the most benefit shooting in the wing. Of course, a Lakers vs Nets will be one game we love to see.

That numbers might decrease when Irving is back, he will be holding the ball not Harden.

A triple double was really impressive, I didn't expect that he will easily jive with his teammates, what I don't like only is the 9 turnovers, that's costly if they are playing with other teams, the great teams in the NBA now.

Must be a good NBA Finals if these two will eventually meet.

I like how Harden fitted to the team, but hopefully this kind of production will be consistent, one game is not enough to conclude that they have a solid chemistry. Remember, Irving has not been inserted in the line up yet, things could change if he is in the game, might as well trade him I guess if he is not effective to blend with these two MVPs.

Yeah, looks like he found his home again.
His high stats even in assists and rebounds proves he is trying to be better.
Well. I still don't like superpowered teams.  Sorry about that.

I guess we will next time if the same thing will work out if Irving is inserted. In chemistry, there is no doubt with KD and Harden.
On the other side, the Rockets was left without a star and had a difficult time with the Spurs.

Harden had someone now whom he can trust, I just like how the way he handle the ball, he seemed to be a better PG than Kyrie Irving IMO.  I watch the live game but was not able to finish the game, what I like which I think the highlight of the game was the pass from Harden to Green and a great finish.

Green was the one of the recipient, perfect pass. Yes, seeing Kyrie Irving in the team might change the complexion again, nothing has change on Harden, hope he can improved and play some defense. Because in a close game, it might spell the difference between winning and losing.

Against the Lakers, it will be very interesting, might be a preview of the NBA Finals,

Regarding super power teams, do you guys remember the the late NBA commissioner David Stern has vetoed that would have sent Chris Paul to the Lakers, just imagine Paul and Kobe back then, that's already a super team, https://ca.nba.com/news/this-date-in-nba-history-dec-8-commissioner-david-stern-vetoes-chris-pauls-trade-to-the-los-angeles-lakers/s3zzl4imi12c1uhc5a85va9sw.

Lakers should not be the favorites this season.. or am I only dreaming?

I think we've seen how great the Nets roster already, a healthy Durant and Harden is enough already for this team to win the East Finals and beat the Lakers. Maybe too early to say but that's what I'm seeing for now, everyone is worried that Irving might destroy the chemistry, I hope we are wrong anyway. As they continue wining, it might increase their odds to win in the NBA Finals, who knows, they might become the top favorites and replace the Lakers.

I can say that indeed you are right, one game is not enough.

Look what happened with WB after Houston added him, we can't tell how KD and Harden blends then Kyrie is another thing here. Knowing all of them are capable of attacking and have a ballhog issues kidding aside it's nice if they blend well and compete as a team, the possibilities of meeting Lakers in the finals might be very interesting.

Kyrie left the Cavs due to some issues and he don't want to be a 2nd option next to lebron so hopefully he will not react the same when harden departed on nets since if he will do some nasty moves which  can destroy their team chemistry well that would be a huge disaster to them. But we cannot  really compare harden to Westbrook since WB is a big ball hog and doesn't care about winning while harden is totally focus on winnings and he's good on sharing the ball if he see his teammate open.

[jademaxsuy]

<snip>

Still KD and Irving has the same mindset and that is to score. They can't actually be good in a team playing but they had too a great role in winning a game and that is their offensive stats. I do not know how or why nets take these 3  players that are good in offense. In playing basket there are roles to be taken and that every player muat involve. I do not know what kind of adjustments they will going to make but if they can work it on just like the GSW then they really a great team and can finish a championship game.

[Spack17]

KD-Harden duo did really awesome in the game Nets beat Magic. KD got 42 points. Harden was like he was waiting for this moment. He played awesome by making a triple-double (32 points, 12 rebounds and 14 assists).

We have not seen Irving yet, we can celebrate now but we need to wait and see what this team will become once the big 3 will play together. If indeed the nets will be successful and will reach the NBA Finals, I think we will see a great match up and I might put my money on the Nets.

Irving will likely return this monday according the update.  https://www.rotoworld.com/basketball/nba/player/29682/kyrie-irving

Kyrie Irving (health and safety protocols) will not play vs. the Magic on Saturday.
Irving needs some time to ramp up his conditioning before playing. The key here is that, according to ESPN's Malika Andrews, "Irving has expressed a desire to return [for Saturday]." Given his bizarre recent absence from the Nets, his simple desire to play is itself a win for fantasy managers. We may see the Nets' newly-minted star trio together on the court vs. Milwaukee on Monday.

This is also the next game of the Nets, and we will see here but they would respond against a good team of Giannis Antetokounmpo.
We can also consider this a possible ECF, so we should not miss this game.

It will be a great game to watch if Kyrie is back.  He may have a chip on his shoulder after paying a million dollars in fines for goofing off the last couple weeks.  I still think Steve Nash has the hardest job in the NBA, and I'd be surprised if they win it all with their style of play, but it's nice for them to have some things to overcome I guess, even if those things are themselves.

Yep, it was a great debut. Harden looked good at the point guard position, and I guess that he can fully compensate for Irving's absence on the court, considering that he averages ten assists per game this season.

He did have some great highlights, but it's also of note that he had 9 turnovers.  I imagine Kyrie will handle the ball a bit more and cut down on some of Harden's turnovers, but it will be interesting to see how the shot attempts get spread out.  Looking more and more like tomorrow will be the day we get a look at what they have going.  I'm looking forward to it.  KD has been looking great coming back from injury as well.  That's a bit of a surprise to me.
