[NBA] Unofficial Discussion Thread

And with that, McClung shows us again his repertoire dunks so no surprises that he was invited again, hehehe.

Buddy Hield though, just one point of tying Hero or two points to becoming the champion in the three point contest again. He just missed all his ball in the first rack and so it really took everything from him although he did rally and has a chance to win if he shoots all the five ball in the last money rack but he only gets four out of five.

Did not watched the dunk contest this year as i presume that it will be boring hehe but i do watch the three point contest though. Too bad for Buddy Hield, he got 31 points in the elimination round but got 23 in the final round, the trophy should have go to him if he knock all those money balls but unfortunately he missed two of those.

I watched all the contests to be honest all of it where actually boring to certain extent, especially due to lack of fierce competitions, the dunk contest was actually the worse, Stephon Castle would have been my pick as the winner, Mac Clung dunks in my opinion were rather just shows and not basketball plays oriented, Castle dunks were better in my honest opinion and were rather tougher to make in a single try, but Mac Clung dunks were more of using grabbing the ball of a stationary position, but the aesthetic creativity was there and I guess that’s what the judges and audience wants rather than basketball plays related dunks like the Zach Lavine vs Aaron Gordon dunks years ago.

Same here, I did not watch the dunk contest (actually, all other contests ) but I've seen some highlights. The only interesting thing to me I guess is the disqualification of CP3 and Wemby because of trying to 'game' the challenge. That at least gave the fans something to talk more about

Back to the ballgame

Only one game for today, Lakers vs Hornets. Though the Lakers is the favorite to win in this game but basing on their last game against Utah, i think this game will be close.

My bet:
Hornets +12.5 @1.97 vs Lakers

Great catch mate, I know that there will be a game between the Lakers and the Hornets and I want to bet on the underdog.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do it, but still I'm happy that you're able to ride on the underdogs. I haven't check the games yet, I just arrived so maybe before the game starts I will try to bet and put it here.

The entirety of the San Antonio Spurs' season could be in complete jeopardy if for the respect for the rest of the players on the roster isn't not considered over, with Victor Wembanyama is now ruled for the rest of the season with a blod clot issue in right shoulder, as reported by Shams Charania. Wemby is not having just an improvement from his rookie season alone, but he's also solidifying himself a force to be reckoned with in the league, making a name for himself and could have been on his way to win the defensive player of the year, but this injury has ruled him ineligible for that. Quite an unfortunate blow for him.

Yeah, I also saw that news and it was really unfortunate that Wemby is out for this season. It's a huge setback on his career and hopefully he can be go back again without losing his prime years.

And with that, I will go with

Suns vs Spurs - Suns -2.5 @1.88
Clippers vs Bucks - Clippers -2.5 @1.86

Unfortunate news for the Spurs as their effort will go to waste this season. Though they still got a fight left in them but i don't think they will go further without a healthy Victor.

My bet for today, will go for the Laker -2.5 @1.94 vs Blazers, hope the Lakers will snap their two game losing skid.

Bad day for me as I lost my bets. I thought that the Clippers will somewhat win because they have built a good lead in the 3rd quarter and entering the 4th. But in the last 6 minutes of the game, somewhat the Bucks find a way to score with Giannis leading.

Another great catch on the Lakers, at least they've cut their losing streak now.

[bisdak40]

Miss the early games for today so i will just bet on one game, between the Jazz and the Blazers.

My bet for today:
Jazz +7.5 @1.92 vs Blazers - the Jazz are so unpredictable and they might win this game today against the Blazers.

My usual breaks in NBA for the past week. Now let me see,

Raptors vs Celtics - I'll go with the underdog here, Raptors +9.5 @2.5
Magic vs Cavs - +6.5 for the Mavs @2.14

High risk games for me, hehehe.

Risky indeed hehe, i will shy away from those games mate. I'll just go with the Bucks vs Rockets game.
My bet for today:

Bucks ML @2.24 vs Rockets - another risky game for today.

Raptors losing by 11 points,
While the Cavs beat the Magic by double digits, hehehe.

Probably skip the game for tonight mate, it looks like most of the games are a trap,

Good move mate, if we are on a losing streak, taking a break is not a bad idea.

I will ride with the hot Lakers for now, we'll see how far could they go.
