I guess Harden really is the main reason why this team has been so consistent now.

I understand how you were so impressed with Harden's performance, but we can't just say that it's all Harden, before Harden was inserted to the line up, Nets are already playing well with Durant and Irving, he just added to the fire, but it's all team's effort, including their new coach Steve Nash.

Besides Harden putting up incredible numbers on great efficiency since joining the team, the entire offense changed a great deal.  Before they were relying on isolation plays almost every time up the floor.  That's why Kyrie was quick to say Harden is the point guard.  It was obvious from the first game that Harden would be the controller of the tempo.  Kyrie in my opinion isn't a leader and Harden brings another leader to join KD, which I think they needed.  Kyrie is the third fiddle on that team for sure. 

This is the first time I saw Kyrie is happy with this team, I love him when he believe on his teammate and play what the coaching designed him to play. I knew it, if they only have a good chemistry this team will be unbeatable, even better than the Lakers and we've already seen the result now.

Who knows how long he'll be able to stand that before causing trouble.

Hopefully these 3 will stay longer in this team, and they'll be champion this season.

The current Laker roster looks awful without AD and Schröder.
I don't blame LeBron for not making the clutch free throw, but I blame them as a team for lacking defense like they usually do when they're healthy.
Quinn Cook has been waived, and there are 2 open spots from the Laker roster. I'm hoping they'll get a legit big man, Gasol doesn't seem to be helping the Laker anymore.

They should really get a good big man just like last year, with McGree and Howard giving them quality minutes and you can see that there is chemistry between those big man. They just down grade when they get Gasol which seems to be out of his form with the Lakers team. And without AD, it will be tough for James to just lead the team every night and win.

Lebron missed the FT that could have give them a win, damn, Lebron choked on that one, I can feel it, hehe. Also,  in the OT, his shot was too strong, it doesn't even have a good line, he should have given that ball to a more reliable 3 point shooter, I don't know why he made that bad shot.

Very bad decision.
He knows he was doubled. He shouldn't forced that. A playmaker does things better and he had the experience to see what's the best option out there even without a timeout.
A lot of time left in the clock and Kuzma even had one more shot after an offensive rebound.
I am thinking of one thing on why he did that. The Caruso miss last time.
Maybe he don't want that to happen again and so he put the decision to his own hands.

I hope he will not blame Kuzma for the last shot, lol.. Lebron sometimes makes bad decision especially on crucial times, that's why although he is getting good stats but he is not one of the clutch NBA players that I admire.

[tygeade]

Honestly Lebron is not the type of guy that will be mad about a play, Green missed a very important last second shot last year in the finals yet he was still not mad about it and defended the guy as well, he never blames anyone for trying and failing, he only gets angry if you do not even try, this dude was the teammate of JR Smith so you can be certain that he wouldn't be mad at Kuzma.

However this whole week proved to the world that unless AD plays, Lakers is basically a very mediocre team at best, sure they would probably beat Wizards 8 out of 10 times and this was a fluke even without AD, but I have to say Lakers are nowhere near finals level without AD, but obviously all teams are horrible without their superstar yet AD is very injury prone. If AD misses the playoffs with an injury, Lakers are not becoming champions 100% guaranteed, not even Lebron can save them.

Lakers do really look bad when AD isnt really on the court.We arent saying that they are bad but those gameplays do really sucks.They really missed out lots of crucial shots
which can possibly for them to win up the game.

They do need to adjust but well, everybody could really have a bad night but losing in a row isnt really appealing to look at for Lakers.If they would continue
like this then they would really be on that verge dropping to even low rank.

Are rumours that Ian Begley a reporter covering the Knicks started about Mavericks talking to Wizzards about Porzingis trade real or that is just Knicks thing to do?

Cuban said no. But that is what he should say in any case.

Yeah, I remember all of those crucial moments but we will never know what happened in the locker. But with his attitude towards the game, we'll never know how he has reacted off screen or during the meeting of their team. But being a professional, I guess you're right.

I hope he will not blame Kuzma for the last shot, lol.. Lebron sometimes makes bad decision especially on crucial times, that's why although he is getting good stats but he is not one of the clutch NBA players that I admire.

I hope so but there's still professionalism, he understands how important the chemistry and relationship of him to his to teammates so maybe, he won't.

If Davis was there, he can always take the last shot as I remember he did during the playoffs and Lakers gets a win, I think that was a 3 point shot from him. That's the good thing with Davis as he can also shoot the 3 point, not only a threat inside but on the outside as well.

Looks like Dallas is trying (and denying) to trade Porzingis to the Warriors. I don’t blame them for contacting Golden State. They’re the only team that could use the spacing and veteran big man. I don’t think it’ll happen though. 150 million dollars and a five year commitment to an injury prone player doesn’t seem like something the Warriors would do, especially after all their injuries lately. Even if Porzingis is a “unicorn.”

That won't be necessary. 
Kuzma just got the offensive rebound and tried for a last shot.
Lebron can do impossible shots but at that moment he needs to be the facilitator to get a better percentage to shoot the ball.
And of all the players, it's KCP who can make it.

Knicks fan first time watching in MSG.
I think the Knicks players are also being boosted by it. 4 point lead halftime against Warriors.

Because of Anthony Davis's ability to score underneath defense and shooting, the floor opens for other players, and with LeBron scoring of other teammates became easy, but since Anthony Davis's injury LeBron got limited options since Davis is outrebounding is one of the problems of the team and also scoring.

Losing their last 3 games 🤦🏽‍♂️with narrow gap just tells me Vogel needs to work on all team mates and distribute focus even to the weakest of them.

Luka Magic hitting the 3 pointer shot with a smile to give Mavericks a win against the Celtics.
That was crazy. Even in a double team situation he could still create a better looking shot.

Then the Warriors also winning the game in front of the first Knicks fans after a long time.
Randle was so mad at the end of the game he got his 2nd tech and thrown out of the ball game.

Yes, the step back three was the final dagger for the Boston Celtics. They have claw back from 10 points down. But in this kind of crucial situations, you give the ball to your franchise player. Too bad for Boston as they really played very hard in the dying minutes and have the chance to win the game.

And Luka proves why he is an All-Star player. No debate about that.

Obviously, the Lakers are really struggling without AD and that's a fact. And even though Lebron is really pushing himself to win the games for them, it seems that it's backfired as he is missing critical and crucial shots. Kuzma is still raw talent for me, needs to learn and be consistent.

They are missing to much defense and being inconsistent inside the court and that what they are missing in the absence of AD maybe they should look on better angles to see on which player who can fill up the slot left by him and don't look for inconsistent guys to be their starters. Lakers should find a possible good combination in the bench since their current starting five is not good to start on.
