Schroder is not happy with this. For me, yes it's an offensive foul by Steph Curry.

Look, if that wasn't an offensive foul, the judge could have appplied nothing.
Schroder did not have his feet planted on the ground and was in motion, Curry threw himself against him (it was clear), and it was still a bad flop.
Nowadays it is normal for players to flop to win free throws. And some players even deserve to win the award for best actor lol

By the way, I was happy that Domantas Sabonis was chosen for the All Star, in my opinion it was deserved, each passing day, he is improving his game

Based on what I've read.

He's going to play and replace Durant who's been injured. Congratulations to him, very good guy.

3rd time for the all-star right?

Yes, you're right!
I am happy that he is having this other opportunity to show his work.
I think that over the years he will improve his skills even more.

Having a legendary basketball player for a father definitely gave him some opportunities, but he’s risen to the challenge and proven himself an above average NBA player. I think he benefits a little from being on a weak team that gives him more chances to gain stats, but he’d be a welcome addition to any NBA team.

Yes, @OgNasty well minded, Arvydas Sabonis was an excellent player for the Blazzers.

I remember when I saw Sabonis, Adams and Kanter playing together in OKC in mid 2016/2017 (i guess), and several people said they would both have a promising future in the NBA ... yeah, how time flies!

Wow I'm impressed, are you a fan of the OKC or Sabonis?
Honestly I can't remember anymore that he played with OKC but I do remember Adams and Kanter playing on the same team.

All I know is that Sabonis started with the Pacers and slowly developed to become an all star.

Actually, it's not about the possible flop but there's an extended elbow of Steph Curry that hits Schroder's face and that's why he is pissed off.

Flop is now a part of the NBA's today culture but since there's physical contact, it's a different story. It's an accident of course but Schroder got the foul.

Sabonis was enhanced more in the Pacers. He was part of the starters and he played with more minutes which he didn't get in his OKC days. He maybe the next face of the Pacers and he deserved an All-Star spot.

Same with you, I'm not aware too that he is a former OKC and played at the same time with Steven Adams and Enes Kanter, and with Russell Westbrook.

Yes, he played for a while at OKC. But I think he had more contrast when he played for Pacers.
True, little by little he was improving his game and he is at the level he is today.

Yeah, now that I saw the elbow in detail, I think it wasn’t on purpose, it’s a game thing.
Depending on the referee, he would have missed an attack, but it was not a flagrant foul

mostly if its just a small part or not too much contact star players mostly get away with it, this are some of the advantage of this players and also contacts with them are often called, even if its not that hard, on the other hand, if they eritates the refs they will get a lot of calls against them, I find these new refs so sensitive.

That's was an unexpected turn of the event but you need to know NBA is so much unpredictable when it comes to their games and sometimes those underrated players have the ability to turn the table especially when they're given a chance to play some more minutes and this happened earlier with the New Orlean Pelicans vs Utah Jazz. Some key players help their star players to beat the current best team in the league. truly that was amazing, especially when competing with the current number one team in the NBA.

Watching the  replay and yes it's an extend elbow that land in his face.

The very reason why he's pissed since instead of getting that call it turned to Curry's favor. For sure Steph feel that and trying not to admit and keep pushing Schroder to lose his temper. It's a natural way from the players to keep trying to piss other player to take unnecessarry action, though Steph didn't succeed as the Lakers camp move Schroder away to cool him down.

Harden put up a crazy 30 14 & 15 tonight in their overtime win. Most impressive is that he didn’t have a single turnover. The entire team only had 5. That’s a pretty encouraging sign that they’re getting their offense together. Especially given the extra playtime and closeness of the game.

[YuginKadoya]

While I think the Golden State Warriors need someone to set a good offense and defense and I think they are marking Jeremy Lin to come back again in the team but Lin is cut short in signing into GSW because he needs a letter of clearance from his team in the Chinese Basketball Association, which didn't make it the deadline but I think in the next season the Linsanity fever will come back again, and while waiting for an NBA comeback, Lin is playing in G League's Santa Cruz Warriors right now.

I love to see Jerimy Lin back again in NBA. He is really eager with his goal to play again in NBA, if he will be given a good playing time, I think he can contribute with the team, particularly in the offense as that is where he is good at.

The Linsanity fever was a short lived, Melo ruined it and later Knicks traded him because they did not see anymore their expectation from Melo.
After that, Melo was not anymore playing like his old self until he has given another chance with the Blazers.

I really love to see him back as well and to help GSW to be a great team again because Jeremy Lin is a good team player and  I think he will be fit to the GSW again and if it doesn't for that injury he had back then I think he will still continue in playing for the Golden State Warriors and that Linsanity outbreak was short-lived because of the selfishness of Carmelo Anthony that only wants to hog the spotlight to himself because if you want to win champions you will need to sacrifice once play style and get it done with the once that fits on the team.

Impressive as well is Bruce Brown, scoring 23 points. But it was a hard fought match, need OT to settle against a depleted Spurs. Very sluggish start from Spurs but they close the 4th with a 10 run.

I do agree that Harden has settled down with the Nets and helping the team to the second spot in the East. They have a good 8 winning streak already, and now they are on the road to make a new one.

Yes, I think its because of the camera.
They are like Hollywood now and acts like artists whenever it's needed.

No idea that he was a former OKC too until I googled it.
He shined brightly at Pacers with Oladipo as the star back then before the injury.
But now Pacers was left without a star. Holiday brothers, Brogdon and Turner, most of them are roleplayers of this team so yes, Sabonis will get the spotlight.

Who will forget Linsanity in New York that time, he really shine during that short stint, but we all know what happen to him and majority blames it to Carmelo Anthony's selfishness. Anyhow, if we wanted to him have a chance to comeback and actually play and contribute again. Might not be the same Lin, but he could spark from time to time and bring that Linsanity again in the NBA.

Maybe he can be a perfect fit in GSW, with the run and gun style of play that will suited more of Lin's style back in the day.

Harden on the triple double again as he dropped 30 points, 14 rebound and 15 assists. Great come back for the BKN... Really close game all through SAS played a "not so confident" game else they've have won.

[danherbias07]

Good match up tomorrow.
Suns (4th) 22-11 vs Lakers (2nd) 24-11.
Both have 2 winning streak. This might go hardcore trying to stay in their ranks.

Lakers had just gained back their momentum after Schroder came back.
Their defense had been better but, can they stop an offensive Phoenix Suns. I'll be putting my bet for the Suns.

[jostorres]

What a game by Spurs and Nets! It was really awesome to watch the young players on Spurs becoming super great, we are in a situation where life is becomming good in San Antonio once again, after just a year of bad decisions of rotation and Bellineli plus Forbes making our situation even worse on defense which wasn't great and still is not at top level honestly.

In short. we are finally seeing the team on what it could be this year and we are having a lot of fun, I would love to see this team grow old together but market cap would force us to not sign a few of them, we have way too many guards right now who are not going to be on the team after few years because you can't offer all those kids good amount of money without breaking rules, I hope that we keep at least Keldon, Murray, White, Lonnie, the new ones we drafted could be the ones we let go.

Yeah, that's starting to look better, as expected. Those players are simply too good offensively that they wouldn't eventually figure things out.

Now the main thing is to try to have all three players healthy when playoff starts, without even ones of them their playoff might end up early. Their bench looks a bit better but there is still a lot of room for improvement and unless they sort that out I don't see them having deep playoff run.

My money will be on Suns too, they are really playing some good basketball. Adding Chris Paul really made them much better, great sign. No one expected them to be so good yet again game after game they are showing that it's not just some luck.

harden now is becoming a playmaker instead of a scorer, this is what is missing when he is in rockets, maybe because there is no option to pass the ball to score better unlike now in the nets, which he has options like kyrie and durant which he is 100% sure of the scoring, now im sure they have a good shot for the ring if things are  to go their way in the east.

I'm hoping that took a lot out of the spurs and the knicks can come in a sneak a win in Texas.  Not an easy game for the knicks but they really need some momentum heading into the all star break and a win on the road against a team above .500 scratches the itch.

Ayton will have to play a good game for the Lakers to lose.  That's asking a lot from the young big man.  We'll see though.  The Suns usually have a hard time against the Lakers, but this is the best team we've had in years.  I'll be watching the game tonight.  It's a nationally televised event on TNT, which the Suns don't see very often.  I actually can't remember if I've ever seen the Suns on TNT.  Certainly not since the Nash/Marion days.
