NBA, the 10 things left of the night: LeBron is in trouble and Westbrook is finally infallible

LeBron James is “c @ m .. Trouble,” Russell Westbrook cursed the curse for wanting him to make 407 game mistakes, while Kiefer Sykes went career high outside of Europe and Chris Paul raised another mediocre guy.

the Sportish presents the 10 things caught in the NBA in one 5 game night.

The game of the night

The match between the Lakers and the Kings in Los Angeles was outstanding for two reasons. Firstly because the fans wanted to see what else LeBron James could do and secondly because the Kings shocked the Lakers in November after three (!) Overtimes in the two teams’ home game. In the early morning hours of Wednesday things went smoother and the match was rated 122-114 in regular time with the winners of “Limnanthropoi”.

Russell Westbrook’s shots at the end, but also the (once again) terrible appearance of LeBron James, who finished the match with 31 points, were the points that evaluated the match and gave the Lakers the victory. Now the Los Angeles team’s record has a positive sign as it has risen to 20-19 while the Kings fell to 16-23 despite Fox’s terrible performance that stopped at 30 points.

The look of the night

LeBron James could win the Lakers’ Best Appearance title any night, but it was going to be boring. So this time the title goes to Jas Morand, who seems to enjoy the lead role given to him by the Grizzlies and who can develop his talent in every match. So it was against the Cavaliers, where he led the standings for the Memphis team with 26 personal points. It’s not just his harvest, but the critical shots he’s fired as well. Specifically, six of Morand’s 26 points came in the last 36 ” where the ball burned with a score of 104-104.

The 22-year-old security guard made a difficult shot with a broken hip, then stole the ball and in surprise took two more points and closed the night and his own mission with two accurate free throws, giving his team the 110-106 victory.

LeBron is a “γ @ μ .. trouble »

When LeBron James has the ball in hand, it would be wise for everyone to put it aside. The “king” has wild moods (especially since he was 37) and spreads fear among his opponents. So against the Kings, where LeBron celebrated an extremely difficult basket, which he scored by turning and looking at the bench of the Kings and in particular Tristan Thompson, who had taken over his marking in earlier phases.

“I’m in … m … trouble,” LeBron called after the basket he had scored, eyes shining and Thompson expressionless in LeBron’s outburst. Look at the phase and you will understand.

The Grizzlies are becoming a force to be reckoned with

For the past two days, the Grizzlies have shown teeth against their opponents, winning 2 matches in the same number of matches in 2022. After the deafening victory over the Nets, it was the turn of the Cavaliers in the early hours of Wednesday to which Ja Morand led again.

The Grizzlies have the drive and background to make a great team and a force to be reckoned with in the NBA. In addition, their record of 25:14 shows that it will never be easy for the opponents against the “Wolves”, who want to have every chance of an excellent course this season.

VanVlit burned out from the periphery

Fred VanVlite was comfortable against the Spurs. He got 33 points with 7 assists, but what was impressive was his efficiency on the three points. He got 50% with 7 goals in 14 tries and gave the Raptors a huge boost and lead to victory. He played 32 minutes, more than enough time to do his damage and give a headache to the Spurs players who had adopted his branding.

VanVlit is without a doubt the leader of the Raptors and he proves it at every opportunity that presents itself in the games by making his teammates … types and the same candidate for the MVP (maybe).

Paul knows how to flaunt his size

There is no doubt that Chris Paul is one of the best (if not the best) creators in the NBA. He knows how to highlight any talent (small or large) of his teammates. In the years he fought, he has coexisted with talented tall men, but also with medium-sized men. A mediocre big guy who is making a name for himself in creation with Chris Paul is Bismak Bigiobo. It’s not impressive, but since Chris Paul gave him enough take and put baskets, he scored 16 points against the Pelicans with 6/6 shots.

Paul had a total of 15 assists in that match and it’s obvious he’s the boss on the ground who wants the ball to find the right options in attack and his teammates free. The “scoring” part may have fallen into the hands of Devin Booker (and not without good reason he had 33 points again against the Pelicans), but the experienced Paul is the one who exudes confidence on the floor and who gets the baskets down.

He left Europe and set a career record in the NBA

It passed Panathinaikos (with less success) as well as Armani Milano and some teams in Turkey. He wandered through Europe for a total of five years, joining the NBA and the Indiana Pacers. The reason Kiefer Sykes made good appearances in the NBA and even against the Knicks set a career record at 22 points while having 4 rebounds and 6 assists. The 28-year-old American has not “caught” in Europe, but seems to use the opportunity offered to him in the NBA and develop his talent.

He only played a month for Panathinaikos, with the Greens wanting to extend the collaboration for another month but wanting to do so themselves as he wanted a contract for the remainder of the season. Somehow he ended up in the NBA with the move from Turk Telekom to Turkey (which is not the only ending) and shows game after game the talent that could not develop in Europe.

It took Westbrook 407 games to avoid making a mistake

It took him a lot of fights to avoid making a single mistake. Exactly 407. It is not a little when you think of his years of experience in the highest league in the world. The reason for Russell Westbrook, who had 19 points against the Kings with 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block and no mistakes.

The last time Westbrook was infallible was on March 14, 2016, so you understand that time has passed since then.

Valanciounas was the pleasant touch in defeating the pelicans

The pelicans had a difficult task against the suns from the start, easily beating them 123-110 at home, only to drop to 13-25. However, the appearance of Jonas Valanciounas, who scored a double-double with 25 points and 16 rebounds, was pleasant and encouraging for the team from New Orleans.

It is a reliable solution for the pelicans in attack while the big man on the team is doing an important job and throwing them where he dominates his opponents most often.

The Knicks have two faces

They are one of the big name groups. However, the Knicks have presented two faces this year, good and mediocre to bad, a fact that brought them to 18-20 in the season when they could have been bigger. The New York team have both the points and the talent to achieve more, but often they seem to pass out in games and there they lose touch with the score and step on it.

She found them pretty dark against the Pacers, but she eventually made it with her 14th win that season. It wasn’t easy, but Randle made the task easier for the New Yorkers and turned the night into a happy ending.
