James Harden is the best player of the world!!!
Hahaha many James Harden fans celebrated the game yesterday and it was an amazing game for him and very intense. He became MVP and we have our different basis on what it makes to be the 'best' in the world of basketball. Many disagree to your post as he's not the best for them. That winning shot made a turn around for the whole home court of Golden State Warriors, I've read someone said its the karma that the ref's didn't called out the out of bounce pass.
No doubt that Harden did really give an amazing game.No questions on his moves and performance but concluding that best player then I highly oppose to that one but well as said we should respect anyones
opinion because we do have our own favorites.
Let's move on discussing about his statement. We have our own "favorite" players and we do acknowledge their greatness up to the point that when they do something extraordinary or when they were the one to win that game, we are assuming that player is the best. It's an opinion and there's nothing wrong on what someone thinks about that player. I respect him for having that belief with James Harden so let's proceed to other games for this month.

Now that Thibs is gone chances are D Rose will leave Minnesota next season but I hope his here to stay and he have developed some kind of relationship with the other players. The owner, Glen Taylor, had made it clear that he is not satisfied with his decision making both on and outside of the court. He even fired him the most harshest way possible right after winning big against the LA Lakers and even replacing him with a inexperienced coach, Ryan Saunders, as the interim coach for the rest of the season. It seems like all playoffs hopes are gone by now and tanking for Zion is the next option  Tongue

Lakers once again got beaten to death by wolves. It is really scary that they look like a g-league team without Lebron. With Lebron all of a sudden all of them starts to play better but without him they go back to previous years and start to play so badly that I am sure Lakers without Lebron could play in gleague and have hard time winning championship there, they are the favorites of course but still wouldn't be a breeze through that league.

It is sad to see that since I am a big Lakers fan but the smallest hope I have left for this team is that they will play together for the next 4 years with Lebron and get better, considering they are just 20-22 year old type of players by 4 year contract ends they will be 24-26 or so and by than they will be much better, if not than Lakers is really screwed.

Some hardcore gaming again from the Raptors. Lowry is back and the team got more lively.
Green with his high percentage at the 3 point line and how about their bench scoring. Norman Powell and Delon Wright 5-5 at three point line when combined.

The team is developing more with their great plays. All are being given a chance when their stars are out. Last time was Siakam and now this guys.

Siakam could get the MIP but there is KCP also that have been giving a lot of improvement for the Lakers to survive while Lebron is out.

2019 pre season is such an amazing season for nba. Rockets deserve the win after that brutal out of bounds miss on KD.  40 points, 15 assists, 10 rebounds, 57 flops, 5,928 ft. traveled but it makes me pissed off, Rockets getting hosed by the referee, How did they not see Durant step out of bounds on that save in the recent game? lmao

That's a big move by the Wolves management, though they have been winning lately but we have no idea what's happening inside.
Compared to Thibs record when he was in Chicago, I think he did better when Bulls was still one of the teams to beat in the East, maybe their expectations was not meet that's why they fired Thibs and try their luck with a new coach, like you said an inexperienced coach, let's such see what will happen.

I didn't make a bet for today's matches so that I will decide to make a bet for tomorrow's game which I choose to bet into Atlanta Hawks with Spread +14.5 (1.97) against Toronto Raptors with -14.5 (1.92). My NBA betting journey standing is (2W-0L) hoping for 3-0 for this bet. lol

Good luck on that bet, Raptors have been playing superb basketball despite some injuries in the squad.
This game is played at the Raptors home and I believe they can win this game but -14.5 seems very high for them to cover, I think I like your bet.
It's a game that the public are expecting it will be an easy win by the Raptors, so how about bet against the public and put some bet on moneyline too?

New coach new combinations and new blending, the chemistry between players and how the new coach will adjust and let the team play together, we will see the results of firing a coach and how the replacement will work to continue being one of those competitive teams inside the league, DRose and Wiggins with KAT, Gibson and Saric with their new coach, how far this team will achieved this season.

Coming up! Denver Nuggets at Houston Rockets home. I want to bet on the silent and understated Nuggets but it looks like the whole team in the NBA right now aren't really doing well playing on the road except maybe on the Raptors. So i'll be betting on Houston. Denver got a 4 or 5 win streak if I remember correctly including two wins at the road. What's your say?
The Nuggets are on a 5 game winning streak and the Rockets  just ended their 6 game winning streak against the Blazers. The Rockets are good on their home but the Nuggets are good too on the road. Its very hard to bet now on this game because both are performing good right now but I think betters will bet on the Rockets because of the Home Court advantage. I think this will be a close game but the Rockets will win.

Streak are broken, just like how the pacers lose their 6 game winning streak to the raptors this morning. Maybe the rockets will pull this one too in a close game.
Yeah the streak of the Nuggets are broken now that they lose against the Rockets 125-113. As always, Harden got a double double and that ankle breaker against Murray:D plus a foul for a 4 point play. I'm thinking right now that what some analysts are saying is true that Harden is truly unguardable at this moment.

My opinion in the Timberwolves firing their Coach is that I think after the All star, some of their players will be traded to other teams. Many players are affected with what happened especially DRose.

I don't think that Saunder will be their coach long term. Maybe just an interim for now and I think they would hire someone to be the "head coach". Usually firing of coach brings fresh air to the team to let's see how it goes for the Wolves. Although this year was really tough, they are still in the position to get a playoff spot.

@LogitechMouse - Yeah, I think at this point Harden is unguardable, even though you know his moves, its really hard to keep pace with him because of his quick first move.

Tomorrow seems to be their first game with the new coach, let's see how things would turn.
They will be on the road and will play the OKC which is coming from a big loss against the Wizards, so I guess the Twolves will struggle in this game.

Please clarify what you are talking about, there's no twelve in the NBA, maybe you mean Twolves?
I think they will struggle too but their interim coach is with them and with the team ever since, and eventually they will improve as it's the same team.

Guys! is this similar to what happen with the Cavaliers before when they fired David Blatt and Tyronn Lue take over the responsibility?

Twolves? well they will face against Oklahoma City Thunders. I'm betting with no one on this fight but its a good match since I'm a fan of Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook.
Are you betting with Timberwolves for this match? Since Twolves is getting the crowd noise to this thread and we will see on how this game would end up.

I didn't make a bet for today's matches so that I will decide to make a bet for tomorrow's game which I choose to bet into Atlanta Hawks with Spread +14.5 (1.97) against Toronto Raptors with -14.5 (1.92). My NBA betting journey standing is (2W-0L) hoping for 3-0 for this bet. lol  
Good luck on that bet, Raptors have been playing superb basketball despite some injuries in the squad.
This game is played at the Raptors home and I believe they can win this game but -14.5 seems very high for them to cover, I think I like your bet.
It's a game that the public are expecting it will be an easy win by the Raptors, so how about bet against the public and put some bet on moneyline too?

Disregarding the overall standings, I also think the line is kind of not an easy one to cover even for a healthy Raptors. But there are chances. Well then the odds is quiet decent to worth to put a shot. Can't check my preferred sport betting sites today as my connection is laggy as hell but I will assume odds for Hawks ML is kind of tempting too.



About Timberwolves firing their president and head coach Tom Thibodeau, although I found it awkward for an experienced player to be coached by a younger player, take note that Ryan Saunder is the assistant coach of the Wolves since 2014.

So in terms of game play or whatever strategy he will proposed, it will not be a big deal if it will be executed properly as some part of Twolves squad is already used to him around.

And because of that, it is only Gregg Popovich who is left as president and coach in NBA.

Too much had happened with the roster of the T'Wolves and as a President of it he is the one to be blamed by all of those trades and events.

As a president: The so called "Timberbulls". He had pulled the stars of Chicago (where he coached at before T'Wolves) and gave them some good amounts in their contracts.
One good example is the $148 million dollars for Andrew Wiggins.
Another is pulling D'Rose to the Wolves roster even if he is not that healthy yet. It is just recently, that he gets his game back.
The Jimmy Butler saga. Oh! I do think we all know that story here.

As a coach: Defense is down. Yeah, Towns have been doing great defense but it aint a team. He cannot do it all.
If he cant do defense then what will he do? He aint that offensive type of a coach.

It is said that Hoiberg has been in talks with wolves and that is why Thibs got fired this quickly right after a win. They agreed with Hoiberg on principal and the money was alright so they are willing to fire Thibs and get him. If Hoiberg gets hired in the upcoming days we will know that Hoiberg was already in talks with twolves before they fired Thibs.

On which ,I assume is the normal how things run around there, after all they couldn't just fire Thibs before knowing who they want to hire, they had to talk with someone and make sure they have a backup plan in case Thibs could be gone. I think it could be a kidd-bud type of difference.

Last year bucks played insane minutes and players were really not happy with how things were going but in the end they got bud and fired kidd and now they are much better. Hoiberg would probably make them less minutes and players careers will be prolonged since they won't be playing 38+ minutes per game.

Same reason on why Thibs got ousted by the Chicago bulls. Tbh, Thibs is a good coach however, he see basketball not as a team play/sport. He's forcing his players to there max limit, and not thinking about the longevity of the career of his stars, and not maximizing the potential of other players. 



On the other hand, Drose's Twolves stay may also be at risk, I guess, knowingly that Thibs was the only one who believe that he could be the way he is right now. Though, given that Drose somehow regain it's composure this season, I guess there would be number of offers he might be able to land.

The NBA today is crazy, from having almost all of the games a 100+ points per team to constantly firing coach. How ridiculous. But yeah, I agree about Tom Thibs, he had a good Chicago Bulls team that could potentially reach the finals, but he didnt, and the 2010 - 2014 Heat aint enough of a reason.
Anyway, is the Phoenix Suns coach fired already?, they've been tanking for the last 2 seasons lol.
