NBA 2018/19

OH MY EMBIID

Injuries finally caught up with Houston. Harden went off and they still got blown out. Philly just a different level to the Lakers/Grizzlies. Houston need CP3 to get back asap now because I think Harden has taken this team as far as he can without his key guys and losses will pile up more consistently until CP/Capela return

Agreed. Houston lucked out already against LA, before that lost to BKN. This blowout loss was inevitable tonight. Only positive from them tonight is Faried looks a good pick up, he fits well

Highly frustrating to watch that GSW-Lakers game knowing we never had a chance. missing 3 best playmakers, they have 5 allstars, Klay nails 44 on 17/20 shooting smh. Glad we got that game out of the way, now I pray LeBron and Rondo return against Minnesota and we go on a run

This is probably the only thing that was worth cheering about as a Laker fan 😄 , worst play of Curry's career for sure, glad he didn't get hurt but that was funny

Interesting Stats and Facts

Knocks have lost 9 consecutive games at Home. they haven’t won at MSG since 30th November

Wizards are 7-4 since John Wall went out with an injury

Wizards are 12-3 in their last 15 home games. Home cooking

Nets are 17-5 in their last 22 games

D’angelo russell has had more 30 pt games This season (8) than in his first 3 seasons combined (7)

D’angelo Russell is averaging 24 ppg 7.5 apg in his last 10 games scoring 20+ in 8 of them.

Klay Thompson became the first ever player to nail all 10 of his first 10 3 point attempts in a game

Dennis Smith JR is probable to return for Dallas tonight. Gallinari is out and Lou Will been downgraded from probable to questionable for the Clippers as Dallas host LAC.

Clippers struggling has really left the Lakers a wide open shot at the Playoffs once LeBron returns. Only .5 games above LAL after Bron missed 14 games. I think the lakers will make it over the Clippers. Kings will drift off eventually

Some key injury news. Kawhi is out for Toronto against Indiana, Butler and Simmons are questionable for Philly against the Spurs. Gallinari remains out for the Clippers against Miami. Drummond is GMT for Detroit. Eric Gordon is questionable for Houston. Al Horford will rest for Boston against the Cavs

Victor Oladipo just got stretchered off the court with what looked like a very bad knee injury. Absolutely terrible news I hope it’s not as serious but I’d be surprised if he’s back this season.. Indiana had such a good thing goin aswell. Sad

Butler is out for 76ers. Simmons will play

OMG.. That Oladipo injury looks nasty. I HATE INJURIES 😔

Rozier always be playing well as a starter at home. got 22 pts on 8/8 shooting rn at the Half

Harden has 36 pts at the Half and Houston are losing... Literally on his own

Preliminary exam has left Pacers with fear that Victor Oladipo has suffered a season-ending knee injury that will require surgery

This is sad.. very sad

Terrible news. Pacers were having such a tremendous season aswell smh

Looks like we're not getting any favours from Miami. A whole game outta the playoffs and LeBron out tomorrow. This is seriously worrying for the Lakers now

Boston covers a -15 handicap against the Cavs w/o Kyrie and Horford 😄 really tells you how bad Cavs are

Nets won again, they are seriously doing incredible things right now. 18-5 in a 23 game stretch wow!
