One of the most disappointing thing to happen while you're bet is on play is a key player suddenly leaving. The bettors reaction is funny. Anthony Edwards leaving for an important reason like that is understandable but you just wish to see these matters reported before you place a bet.

First time to hear/see a scenario like this, a player leaving at halftime for an important matter lol. Giving birth to a child is somewhat expected, i mean it is predictable, you know when is the time so better not to play the whole game as to not compromise the bettors.

Imagine you as a bettor.

You put a parlay bet on the Clippers-Timberwolves game, and you won in all of your bets EXCEPT for that of Kawhi. I'm sure those bettors who experienced that one are rightfully angry with Kawhi right now. Anyway, he has a back injury based on the reports, but I just don't like his attitude where if he has an injury, he will just leave the arena. I mean he can wait for his teammates inside their locker room, right?

Anyway, they lost in that game. From leading by 18 points at one point to lose the game by 18 points.

It balloon to 20 points in the first quarter when they goes on a high percentage until Kawhi gets injured. Hopefully, he will be back in the playoffs and the injury is not that serious because we all know that Kahwi has a history of season ending injuries.

Yeah, just too bad for the backers of Clippers, it was supposedly an easy cruise until ANT goes off again, playing good defense on Paul George and that Euro step that he mastered already. I forget who's player it is but someone try to pull the Pinoy step,  .

There is a must watch game today. It will be the powerhouse Boston Celtics against the Phoenix Suns. I've seen lots of trash talking specially from Bradley Beal that they let one slip away when they face the Celtics before.

But now it could be different, and with that I will be putting some line on,

+4.5 for the Suns hehehe @2.15. Let's see if they can back it up.

Unfortunately, it's not even close, Boston Celtics dominated your Suns in this game, it was close in the first half. But in the 3rd quarter, the Celtics started to pull away. Booker is present in this game, as in the last time they played he had a ankle injury. Same results though, their big 3 is no match to Jaylen Brown and Tatum as the duo scored 37 and 25 points respectively.

I don't think that there will be a team that can really match with Celtics superiority in offense with that two. And then they still have KP, who didn't play in this game. So the league leading Celtics continue to win games with double digits. Last time we had this kind of superior team is when the Warriors goes to a record 73-9. I'm speculating that they could be 66-16 W-L record at the end of the post season.

Yes, Celtics no doubt is a very powerful team this season, but as I gambler I try to risk against them as I know that Suns might have a good chance of at least covering the spread even if Celtics are going to win.

But Phoenix just fell short in the second half as the Celtics made a huge run and Suns had no answer and they have played good defense too against The Suns version of their big 3. Actually Celtics only needed Tatum and Brown, but then again Al Horford wanted to join the fun and scored 23 points.

Well, they've been always the most dominant team in the East for the past 2-3 seasons. They've been playing at their best during the regular season. Unfortunately, they can't translate it into a title because when the playoff comes, they are kind of choking. I just hope that this season, they will not do it again. They have now a better roster compared to last season. With KP and Holiday added to the team, they're one of the best defensive, and offensive teams as well. KP is playing at his best season since he was still a Knick many years ago. I just hope that he will not get injured during the playoffs.

66 wins is already a good record, and I guess it's safe to say that they will get the top spot in the whole league. They're 6 games ahead of the current 2nd in the whole league which is the Thunder/Nuggets. The Celtics right now have the best starting 5 for the season, but one thing can hinder their success, and that is injuries. I just hope that they will not get injured during the playoffs because we know that one injury from their key player can change the flow of the series.
Unfortunately, the record of Daniel Gafford will stay at 33 as he missed his first shot against the Thunder. Well, 33 consecutive field goals made is no joke still, and it's hard to break. Congratulations to him for the record still, but the Mavericks lost to the Thunder.

I will only have 2 bets in tonight's game,

Nets vs Pacers, - Indiana Pacers, -7.5 @1.80. They will be playing at their home court, so they have the advantage. Plus the Pacers are really a good team while the Nets are very inconsistent and you don't know who is the leader of the team.

OKC vs Memphis - OKC, -9.5, best team in the West, OKC is one of the biggest surprise this season specially how their chemistry work out with SGA putting MVP numbers and one of the candidate for this year. While Memphis has a lot of problems, started the season without Ja Morant, and then Ja comes back and play, unfortunately, he had a season ending shoulder injury.

Your second bet ticket didn't win bro as the Thunders didn't cover spread. That fourth run by the Grizzlies ruined your bet. Thunder these days seems unpredictable, i mean they won games but on a close one and they even lost to the Pacers the other day.

It's a four quarter games, although Thunder time and again even at the last quarter build a double digit lead and it could win by that handicap, the Grizzlies keeps coming back in this game. Bane is also back in the game, so it has a big effect on them as he is one of the leader in absence of Ja Morant. Missing 29 games is a lot and so he did try his best bring back his team, 22 points and 7 assists not that bad, and hitting crucial 3 points in the 4th quarter. And with this win the Thunder move in a tie with the Denver Nuggets atop the Western Conference.

I'm pretty disappointed with the Clippers losing to the Hawks. No one would have thought an almost complete Clippers team would be dominated by Hawks without Trae Young. I lost my bet on this one but I'm sure those who took the higher risk on the underdog made a good profit here.

What disappoints me, up to this minute is that I was to bet on the Hawks when I watch the first quarter. I said to myself that it's different Hawk team against this Clippers. They are playing good defense and then Clippers missing easy shots,  . In any case, I didn't listen to my gut feeling and when I go back, I see the Hawks taking a good lead already and it's kinda late as they are not the outstanding favorite. And then we have that magical hook shot of Kyrie to close out the Denver Nuggets. I thought that the game will go into OT as it's really a very tough and engaging game. But against the outstretch arms of Jokic, and Kyrie looking at the clock, he did one of the best buzzer beater of all time.

Honestly, it looks like a circus shot to me. He just threw it because time is about to expire and he's lucky that it went in. You can tell that it's not a shot he usually do.

Speaking of buzzer beater, how about the Pistons losing? Some fans are clowning them not because they lost but because of the way they lost (by Bam Adebayo 3-point shot). Bam is not best center for shooting beyond the arc but I think he has a decent jumper.

It wasn't a circus shot for me because, in one interview, he said that he's also dominant in using his left hand so he's kind of ambidextrous like Lebron James and Russell Westbrook. That shot was just amazing and even Luka got surprised that it went in, anyway, they won and I hope they will get that 6th spot.

As for the Pistons-Heat, Cunningham's shot at the final seconds of the game was a bit too early and that's enough for the Heat to gather, and make a shot. Suprisingly, it wasn't Robinson who is their main 3-pt shooter that made the shot but it was Bam who we don't see shooting threes that much. Well, it's the Pistons so... no surprise I guess.
Anyway, aside from the Trayce Jackson-Davis dunk over Wembanyama, we have another dunk of the year candidate again as Anthony Edwards dunked over John Collins in their game a few hours ago. TBH, the verticality of Edwards is just insane. Well, anybody else there who knows another "dunk of the year" candidate out there? Here's the video of that hilarious dunk.
