NBA 2017/2018 Season Special Thread

Boston winning streak continues with Cavs overturning their losing 4 games streak with a win over Wizard. Other title contenders gaining winning momentum with exception of Thunders whose 3 big forces have yet to consistently deliver. Nguvu ya soda imeanza kuisha?

You still think so buddy? Don't judge a book by its cover...Celtics got a jolt when one of their top players suffered an injury but they seem to have picked up steam and are doing fine.

Yes. It is only 9 games chief. They will of course go to playoffs, but not win the East.

From East who would you bet on?

James Harden makes history and sets a new career high with 56 points

Damian Lillard had 36 points and 13 assists, Jusuf Nurkicadded 25 points and the Portland Trail Blazers held off the Oklahoma City Thunder 103-99 on Sunday night. Lillard, scoring at least 30 points in his fourth consecutive game, scored on a driving layup with 29.5 seconds to give the Blazers a 98-94 lead that the Thunder were unable to overcome.

Paul George topped the Thunder with 27 points. Russell Westbrook had 25 points and nine assists.

Coming off LeBron James' 57-point performance, it appeared the Cavaliers had finally gained some momentum. A team that hadn't won since its season opener proved otherwise. Dennis Schroder scored 28 points and the injury-riddled Atlanta Hawks ended an eight-game losing streak, beating skidding Cleveland 117-115 on Sunday.

The Hawks hadn't won since beating Dallas on Oct. 18 and were missing five players, but the Cavaliers went down to yet another puzzling loss. James, who had 26 points and 13 rebounds, was soaking his feet in a tub of ice water and had ice wraps on both knees and his right elbow following the game. He didn't have an explanation for why there was no carry-over from Friday's 130-122 win over Washington.

"That's a question I cannot answer," James said. "I was ready to go. A lot of the guys were ready to go. I cannot answer that question." Cavaliers forward Kevin Love was taken to the hospital after leaving in the third quarter with an illness. The team announced that Love, who had four points and four rebounds in 19 minutes, was treated and released.

Of course Cavaliers. No team in the East can beat the Cavs when playoffs start.

Curry all the way without a slight hesitation! !

Kyrie Irving scored 35 points, Jayson Tatum added 21 and the Boston Celtics held off the Atlanta Hawks 110-107 Monday night for their ninth straight victory. Irving's 3 from the right wing put the Celtics up 104-103 -- the game's 25th lead change -- with 1:37 remaining, and Boston led the rest of the way.

Dennis Schroder had 23 points for the rebuilding Hawks, who dropped to 2-9 a night after a surprising two-point win at Cleveland. Boston improved to 9-2, best in the NBA, and has its longest winning streak in seven years.

Kevin Durant had 21 points and eight rebounds to help the Golden State Warriors overcome their shooting woes and beat the Miami Heat 97-80 in a rare low-scoring outing Monday night.

Draymond Green scored 18 points with a season-high four 3s to go with nine rebounds as the defending NBA champions won for the seventh time in their last eight games, including three straight in lopsided fashion on their recent road trip.

The Greek had 40 points but weren't enough to oust the Cavs.

Kyrie a real deal for Boston Celtics
