The Spurs have already built a 5-0 run, and after the mini road trip to the East and the Knicks (120-89) and Sixers (109-85) trains, they return to the AT&T Center to continue They are "running" this winning streak. Their opponent is the "strainer" of the championship called Washington, and this is not an exaggeration if we take a look at the average number of points they receive, but also the percentage with which their respective opponent shoots. Specifically 106.6 (2nd worst defense after Philadelphia) and 48.6% (2nd worst percentage after Detroit) respectively, for a team that has drastically changed the "philosophy" of its games, as last year it had one of the strongest defenses in the league. However, for one reason or another, such a thing does not happen this year and its results so far - in this area - are not only encouraging for the future. It has accepted 103 and over in all its matches so far, with Detroit (113), Philadelphi a (109 and 116), Miami (103), Brooklyn (108), Oklachoma (106) and yesterday Dallas (105) to set up their own party offensively independent of the result. they also have to deal with the extra fatigue of a back 2 back match, as yesterday they were playing a little .... next door, in Dallas.

The spurs, as we said at the beginning, knocked Knicks and Sixers in an emphatic way, as they "handed out" 120 and 109 points respectively, and Tim Duncan did not compete in the second, while Ginobili (13 minutes) and Parker (29) -Leonard (24) did not need to stay long on the floor. Duncan is expected to return today, as he has no problem, just Popovic chose to rest him. However, even to stay except in the second round I do not think the Spurs need him to put over 103 in a team like the Wizards , especially since they show that they started to roll again after their very modest start in the season. It is worth mentioning that the "Texans" are shooting with the extraordinary 47.4% which is 4 the best of the league (100.4), but also outside of Portland (100) and Denver (101), teams that are at least defensively worse than Primates.

Over 103.5 for the Spurs attack, against the otherwise bad defensive Wizards who will have to deal with extra fatigue from Dallas's game yesterday.

Orlando is coming from two away defeats, which returns today to the Amway Arena to welcome Bucks, with the points line for attacking 93.5. The Magic 94 did not accept any of the four matches they played at "their home", as both the Pelicans (90) and the Celtics (91), as well as teams such as Brooklyn86 and Clippers (90) were left below this limit and I do not find the way they will "catch" this limit is Milwaukee. Especially if we add fatigue factors (as he fought yesterday at Miami where he was 118-95), absences (Sanders, Ilyasova, Ridnour and Delfino will miss again), but also how bad the offensive is (with 94.2 points with 43.5% in the shoot), then I would say on their own. So far, they have overtaken 93 three times, Boston's away games (winning with 105-98), Cavaliers in (winning 109-104) and yesterday in Miami, with two champions making "chore "in the last bout and accept 33 points.

Orlando receives the 99.8 points and is in the first 15 of the best defending ranking, an average that has risen quite a bit due to the 120 points received by the "magic" at TD Garden, with Celtics shooting with the incredible 60 % (!!!) and 41.7% behind the "bow." A match that smells to me very badly, but not in the way most minds will (but it is not present). Interesting statistics relate to the good regional defense of Magic, with Nelson, Afflalo, Harkless and Oladipo not allowing opponent 30.4% (4 the best). However, as the Vaughn team has shown it has the potential to play good defense, they have been keeping low both Nets, but in particular Clippers in Florida.

From home defeat, the champions are coming, with a three-pointer buzzer beater of Jeff Green headed for the third time this year. Today and against another weaker opponent, logic says "outburst" and with Miami getting steady from 100 and above, but at the same time accepting at least 95 points in each match, all lead us to over 195.5. Spoelstra has the 5 best attack with the 105.1 points, and shoots with the extraordinary and 1 51.6 championship % and 43.3% to the three-pointer (3 the best). Along, it is in the last 10, accepting 100.9 points, resulting in non-attachment of the champions to the defense, since they allow the opponent to reach 47.3% (5 worse) and 37.1% behind the "bow". Miami is one of the teams that run They are very weak with the majority of the tall boys who face Boos to make very good evenings, racing. It is worth noting that none of the seven matches in Miami had fewer a As 196 points.

Milwaukee is one of the under, but over the top, but here we have not seen any team in attack such as Heat. On the contrary, he played with the Knicks (defeat 90-83) that overcame the Celtics (winning with 105 -98) and inside with Raptors (defeat 97-90) which is not the team to escape her score, Cleveland (winning 109-104) and Dallas (91-83) the under could be seen as a surprise . 2 / 5 over. Exactly, however, the Bocks are bad, as evidenced by the 94 points score (7 the worst), the 43.8% sword, but also the extra and 2 is the best of the 43.6% league on the three-pointer. Defenders have a clearly better picture, but as mentioned we have not yet faced with any terrible attack (except for Dallas), so the 96 points (7 best) I personally believe it does not tell the truth.

I think a few 195.5 points for any team going to play in Miami. This is mainly due to the way Heat plays, which as we said run a lot, perform immediately and do not play defense. A further reason today to go back over 100 is an embarrassing defeat from Boston yesterday, and I think they will do so, while it is difficult to accept less than 95.

The team ... over this year's Clippers championship, returns to its headquarters, where it will welcome Minnesota in a showdown that is expected to score over 100 for both opponents. The whole of Doc Rivers started with 4 / 4 (126-115) and Houston (137-118), while the others in the Lakers match (116-103), where the latter were typical hosts in Sacramento (110- 101). The passage from Florida (Orlando and Miami) had defeats and under for the Clippers, while the over did not return despite his victory nor in Houston where he dominated with 107-94. However, it is still the best attack of the championship with 110 points, but also with the third best score (47.8%), while it is still one of the worst defenses, as it accepts 106.3 (4 worse), because it allows the 48.5% (worst of all) to rival efforts if they find a target. However, in the team of this team there is a ... mass of players who aggressively at least have high quality like Paul , Griffin and Redick, while from the stuffed bench to the bench j the Crawfor, Collison, Green and Mullens.Oi attacks Clippers are usually immediate, since it is a team that runs the stadium.

On the other hand, Minnesota comes from winning the same stadium against the Lakers, with the scores and statistics of the "wolves" in the first bout being unreal, as they starred with 16-21 and 7-9 three-pointers, Love having already 18 and Martin 16 points, in a set of 47 only in the first twelve. The final score was set at 113-90 for Timberwolves, with yesterday's game being 5 in a total of 7 races where the Adelman total achieved a three-digit number of points and the 3 that put over 110.In more general, the Wolves are a team that also runs a lot and it is quicker to attack, and of course it helps to show over, especially when a team that uses the same way of play at the middle ends. In the first place and the attack of Minnesota with 106.1 (3) , despite the fact that its percentage is low. Regarding the roster players, Love and Martin have taken their ... team hand in these first seven games, making excellent appearances, with the bench giving help mainly by Barea, Williams and Cunningham.
'
I'm going over 208.5 in this match, as the defenses of the two teams favor it, but also the fact that both of them are showing direct attacks while having a "fire" attack.

Miami won a great victory in Miami in their last 111-110 match after a terrific three-pointer by Jeff Green at 0.6 before the finale, which was the first to overcome 100 points. However, this is one of the worst attacks in the league, with no more than 92.7 (5 worse), but with a remarkable percentage in the 44.7% shoot, but not behind the "bow" the shooter that can steadily damage the opponent from the three-pointer, hence the 30% that is 6 is the worst in the league. In particular, there is no big shooter and player who will carry their Celts on the back, although Jeff Green, with Bass, Sullinger and Crawford to be the ones who with their performance raise the Celtics attack on bearish levels. Note that the limit of 95.5 given for today in the attack of Stevens team, his players have not "caught" in 4 / 7 matches which they did, but on the contrary they did so in their unique home games with Bucks (defeat 105-98) and Jazz (97-87), the defenses of which however does not inspire confidence anyway.

On the contrary, trust defending us showed that we can show them Magic, who, except for the match in Atlanta where they accepted 104, from then on and in particular in the last four has not allowed a score to the opponent that exceeds 91 points. the Celtics put on the previous one (before 3 evenings) and took the double at the Amway Center, while neither Brooklyn nor the aggressive Clippers managed to go over 90. 96.9 points with passive for Orlando (11o best ) gives us the right to believe we can hold it put a team like Boston under 96, since the 40.3% that allows the opponent to shoot is 2 the best of the championship and the surprising 29.3% behind the "bow" the third best of it.

Under 95.5 for the Celtics attack, which I think will return to normal levels of scoring against a team trying to play good defense tonight and has done so far. The 111 Green Points in Miami do not represent the attacking the Celts, with the champions not to be exaggerated if we say they have not made a single defense throughout the match.

He was in trouble, but in the end he managed to get an easy win at the Bobcats premiere with 96-83, "clearing" the match in the fourth season, where he was the most productive (29 points). The reason Houston is now welcoming Dallas , which also comes from a home win against Atlanta with 119-108. If he has managed to score as many points this year as Atlanta, I do not find how he will eat less than 110 than the Rockets who are aggressively "fire". "rockets" are greatly enhanced by the addition of Hawward, so aggressively both defensive and defensive, but also with a padded we would call a bench after the arrivals of Casspi, Garcia, Brooks and Brewer with the first two to perform excellent preseason and to show they are ready to give valuable help to score mainly behind the bow "which was proven by the Dominican at the premiere where he stopped at 19 with 7-13 and 5-9 three-pointers. Houston looked at 47.4% in the game, against a team that is playing defense, today against one that does not play is waiting for much more.

The Mavericks, on the other hand, put more than 30 points in the 3 / 4 season of the Hawks Premiere and slammed with the awesome 57.1% having both Ellis (32 with 11-17) and Nowitzki (24. with 8-14) and Carter (21 with 9-16). More generally, all those who played except Calderon had a good performance aggressively but from behind trains ... with "hawks" shooting with 48.7% and have a good night of a player like Cartier Martin (17, in as many minutes as 4-8 shots) and Milsap-Teague.

I'm looking for more than 100 points for both teams and for Houston specifically over and over 110, so my line around 106 looks just as good for the crow.

With her hands lost many of her games in the preseason Atlanta, which measured 6 defeats and just a win. The "hawks" appear quite weakened compared to the previous years and especially aggressively - since it also appeared in the friendly that surpassed 89 only in a match - has a big problem since there is not even Josh Smith, with Paul Milsap replacing him but on paper - not covering the gap left by the current Pistons player. In general, there is no the shooter that will provide steady solutions aggressively with most as it is easily understood to end up in the hands of Horford, with Milsap, Carroll, Korver and Teague being the rest that will complement this year's Hawks, whose bench loses greatly in quality but mostly in regional solutions , at least until Lou William returned. At the opening, 118-109 defeated in Dallas, with Teague (24 Points with 7-13) and Millsap (20 Points with 9-15) performing superbly, "hawks" aggressively, considering the loose to no home defense of the hosts.

Raptors showed the exact opposite in the preseason, ending with 6 wins and 1 defeat, defending remarkably in defensive, but especially aggressive on most of their games. Toronto is a team that has a very strong pocket, with Lowry, DeRozan the Gay in 3 and Johsnon-Valanciunas, and gained depth on the bench with the additions of Novak, Augustin and Hansbrough. Casey's team made a start with the right winning even the most difficult Celtics in Canada with 93-87, without impressing her performance, but to go rnei simanitkes support from the bench.

I think the Canadians will make 2 / 2 today, but even in the event of a loss, I think that it will be totally marginal, so I will choose an extra security with the + 3.5 handicap for the predators.

"Once upon a time, Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs were faced with the NBA finals ....." If there was no internet, it might be that a narrative could begin some years later, by a man who was happy to seeing these finals in another who is not our generation and of course he would not have this possibility. A dreamlike series of finals from the best basketball fairytale that he did not miss out on anything. With close games offered for cardiac episode, eruptions on both sides, tripos bombardments, triopled record (1 and 6 final), extra time (6 final) great shot to be left in the story (Ray Allen in 6 final) are just some of what we saw in these fantastic seven races.

However, if one of the above is more intense, this could not be more than the tremendous three-pointer achieved by the top three-pointer in the NBA's history, sending the game to 95 (95-5.2) before the end and the famous yellow ribbon and trophy are already in the pitch for the award. What finally did not happen after the match was considered in favor of the Heat in the extra time and the debates on whether Popovich should have commanded fouls in the last attack of the Florida club, Still, these things for those who have seen even a minimal NBA in their lives are very clear about the attitude they have in America in such cases, with the Italian journalist of Gazzetta Dello Sport not surely in between since otherwise he would not have even thought of asking the technician of the "spurs" why he did not order a foul. The latter could not have misunderstood the question, saying: "That's one euro a question for play, right? ", to continue (screaming) the Italian saying," We (in Europe) are fooling "and end the conversation with one of the very great coaches to say to him: Yes, you are fooling We do not do here. "

Did the Italian, following the words of Pop, understand why this foul has never happened? We probably will never know it, unless one was found to explain to him that in the top basketball championship of the planet, what counts above is the and how the whole game will make it more appealing in order to "sell" it to the viewer. And the Americans unfortunately or fortunately know well ... the art of "selling something to the people", as of course and of the spectacle.Here (in Europe in general) we would still perform (with 1-2 points difference in the match) to find a player who will just throw the ball behind the center, and then .... Then, afterwards, for years they will remember Ray Allen to score one of the biggest shots in the NBA history at 5.2 before the end and to send Miami out of the hell of a lost league to the paradise of his 7 match. Here (especially in Greece) years later they would still talk about why the Spurs did not fool them, and there they were this is never going to be heard, because there they leave the protagonists of the sport to talk and who do not look like they will "steal" a match that can not be judged (as has happened and has been infinite times) in favor of the team that is ahead with three points, sending the opponent to the shots and then the opponent. If you are better you will win, if not win, so simple, you do not need any shot to judge a game or even a title, so we have lose the "big shot" account you have you are going to find a target in the NBA. Because this is the essence in the sport, the spectacle. Because that's what you will remember after years, a big shot that has passed in history and not two players going from one side of the stadium to the other. they are making shots.For simply, this is the NBA ...

YC If you have a different viewpoint, just think about why you stay in the evenings to watch an NBA match and what you expect him to offer you.

PS 2 Because the signatory wants to say it all, he has been a fan of the Heat for about a decade. This of course does not play any role in the view I have and which I mentioned in the above article. The same I would write and in the opposite case .

PS 3 I also wanted to express my opinion on LeBron James, but in order not to spread a "bed sheet" I will make it directly to another article.

A great disaster has been created yesterday on the other side of the Atlantic since it saw a scenario that sends Doc Rivers, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to Clippers. But that does not seem to go away, as everything has been "frozen" since the name of Eric Bledsoe fell on the table. Specifically, the LA team seemed prepared to do everything so that in the first phase the next coach who would sit at the counter would be Rivers and second to take with them KG and Pierce. A goal that only easy is not considered since the "Celts" to agree to this demanded DeAndre Jordan and Eric Bledsoe in exchange for 37forwardforwardcentre and at least one first-to-the-minute ticket to compensate for 51time technician who has another three years contract against 21 million dollars.

That's how it all seems to fall into the gap, as "Hollywood" judges Boston's demands, which in all of the above has also put the absorption of the contract of one of Jason Terry or Courtney Lee by the Clippers. this is the least, since the latter are not even discussing the possibility of giving Bledsoe. This is because they are rumored to be in exchange for a "pack" that together with Blake Griffin will convince the Lakers to move on to a sign and trade that will send Howard to become sympathetic with Chris Paul, as both superstars want. In addition to that, it is obvious that Clippers have been involved in discussions with Magic and Pacers to bring one of Afflalo or Granger to Los Angeles respectively. The case of the guard of Orlando is clearly easier as Indiana wants to keep Granger, who comes from a knee surgery, and has another one year contract with 30, who is looking for a healthy life expecting to break her the dominion of Heat in the East aiming to "build" an even more competitive team that will obviously have its presence in the NBA finals, with the ultimate goal of convincing Chris Paul to remain in the team renewing his contract even if Clippers fail to bring him "Superman".

Whatever - and returning to the issue of exchange with the Celtics - according to what they say in the US, the landscape will be fully clear within the next two days, when it will be seen if either side is willing to throwing water in her wine. At the same time, if the exchange gets flesh and bones, then the Celtics' flag, Paul Pierce, will join the game, with Clippers trying to reunite the Massachusetts trio club , but this time in Californian. At this point it is worthwhile to make a parenthesis we have to say that the Celts have not yet decided on the future of 35 charm forward, who still has one year contract. So, Danny Ainge will have to clear the management's intentions by the end of the month as to whether pay the 5 buyout of the dollars and release it by saving 10.000.000 or going along in the last year of his contract by paying to Pierce 15.300.000. Closing the parenthesis, if anything is not true in the next few days, then administration of the LA team will turn to Lionel Hollins and Brian Shaw, who have already met Clippers in the past week (as was the case with Byron Scott), with the former being the favorite if it is not successful the attempt to acquire Rivers.

Andre Iguodala has decided to make use of the term in the last year of his contract, which gives him the right to remain free, thereby enhancing the already "hot" market for the free (Howard, Paul, Ellis, etc.). ) Iggy, wanting to secure a larger contract that would provide him with security, left aside 15.9 millions that he was expected to receive for the coming season and will now look for a new four-year contract with another team or a renewal with the Nuggets keep him in Denver for the next five years. This, because without using the special term, would have the right to sign no more than a three-year extension with the "bullets".

Naturally, there is no question about the intentions of the club's administration, who earnestly desires the 29 Chardonnay in Denver, and he was aware of his intentions, with Josh Kroenke revealing: "We were aware of his intentions André and himself know for his part that we want him back. Andre is a priority for the club. "

After this development, many teams have already seen the case of the former Sixers player, with the Hawks (who will be ... worn so much this summer), Cavaliers, Mavericks, Rockets, Pistons and Pelicans to be some of them . This is only good for the Nuggets, who recently lost the top manager of the season that they spent, and then stripped their technician, George Karl, a few days after he became coach of the year. However, Kroenke is convinced will have time to find the right GM and a competent coach to take over the fortunes of the team, giving a five-year vision to Iguodala that will persuade him to remain in the club. Elsewhere, Arizona's graduate himself, he said in the past year that he felt very well in Denver and thanked him for playing, this team and his teammates. Finally, it is worth mentioning that he has a deadline until June 25 to submit the necessary documents that will give him his freedom.

9's draft 2004 draft 9 in 80's 13 career season fought 5.4 Nuggets jersey, averaging 5.3 points, 1.7 assists, 34.7 rebounds and 18 steals at 8 minutes per race. In parallel, he made the best postseason his career with 5.3 points, 2 rebounds, 40.5 assists, and 6 thieves in 4 minutes of participation per match and a set of 2 matches that ended up with the Warriors (XNUMX-XNUMX) in the first round of the playoffs.

Chris Paul and Dwight Howard are in constant contact by writing, examining possible scenarios that could bring them together in the same group, according to sources cited by espn. The two stars will undoubtedly be the most sought-after free agents this summer and the scenarios that will emerge around their names will follow each other. For the sake of the foregoing, it is the fact that they are seriously considering becoming a teammate and a desire for both of them to stay in Los Angeles, but for sake of the Clippers.

Of course, this case encounters many obstacles, most importantly, it concerns the minimal space that the Clippers team has in the salary cap and who would certainly not have a contract like "Superman." That way, the only solution imagines a sign and trade, with the Lakers signing Howard and sending him in exchange for ... their fellow citizens. Here, obviously, most will be wondering what Paul's current team is going to offer. A possible package that could entice the "Limnathropos "you know it would be Blake Griffin and Eric Ble dsoe, although - as reported by sources of espn- o "Snake" is one of the players that would in no way be included in an exchange pack for the Clippers. However, that could be said to be one side of it. . If we believe the rumors that some of the Clippers administration wanted to exchange Griffin for Howard before he moved to LA for the Lakers, then there is definitely the ... opposite.

There is also the ... opposite destination so that the two superstars can make their wish come true and become teammates. Who is he? But of course the choice of the Atlanta Hawks, with the "hawks" having a big ... air in the salary cap so that they can both fit. However, this possibility also encounters obstacles, since the 27-year-old center does not want to return to the city where he was born, but would do it if he had the 28-year-old guard by his side, with the last This is because his priority is to stay in Los Angeles and especially after overcoming any differences that had arisen with the management of the club, as he likes the city and the living conditions in it.

1's draft 2004 drafts and 4's NOXNX 2005 began early in the season, as the Lakers were eliminated in the first round of the Spurs play with 4-0, while the Clippers were defeated by 4-2 by the Grizzlies. Howard finished the regular season with an average of 17.1 points, 12.4 rebounds, 2.4 blocks and 1.4 assists in 35.8 minutes of participation per match and a total of 76 Matches, making the third worst year of his career - after the first two - at 9 years is fighting at the NBA. Paul, for his part, completed the season with 16.9 points, 9.7 assistant, 3.7 ride and 2.4 steals at 33.4 minutes per match and 70 set of matches found on the parquet, and also won the All Star Game Award at the Houston All Star Game.

Jason Kidd is changing his headline in his NBA career, and a few days after his decision to withdraw from acting, he convinced Nets to be ready to take the next step, with the former calling him the new head coach of the team. The information says he has signed a three-year co-operation agreement, but we will certainly know that in about four and a half hours, when the scheduled Barclays Center interview will begin.

40's former Knicks guard did not conceal that it was a craving for the dictator's counter:"It's a tremendous opportunity for me to be a Brooklyn Nets coach and a role that I had studied a lot during my career" Kidd said initially and continued:"The championship teams are being built during the preparation, they play selflessly and they are responsible, that's how I will train this team. I am really excited about the new page in my basketball career."

It is worth mentioning that Brian Shaw met with the Brooklyn executives during yesterday's day and after talks that lasted about four hours seemed to have the lead in taking the technical leadership. However, the owner of the Nets, Mikhail Prokhorov , he was convinced that Kidd is ready to make the leap in his career, from the moment he saw him actually coming "read" to the appointment of the two sides. In particular, he got up in the discussions to explain his philosophy, to design in the table, various tactics he has in his mind and reveal what his plan is for the attack of the team, proving that he has full knowledge of the roster in general and of each player separately. got on with Frank Vogel's assistant to Pacers, it is the fact that he is a future Hall of Famer, but also the excellent relationship he maintains with Deron William. Once with the news that Brooklyn's new coach will be Kidd, Deron hastened to tweet:"I'm excited to be working under the direction of Jason Kidd, a leader with excellent basketball to become a fantastic coach."

As for the "teammate" Jason Kidd as assistant, the name of the former coach of Detroit Pistons, Lawrence Frank, is very much heard. The second ... 12.091 assistant in the NBA's story is said that in discussions with Billy King, the general manager of the club, proposed Frank for his assistant coach position to offset his experience as a coach. Note that he was succeeding PJ Carlesimo on the "net" had replaced Avery Johnson amid the season-who led the Nets to a record of 35-19, knowing but blocking the Bulls in the first round of the playoffs.

Finally, let's say that Jason Kidd in 19 years of career in the top basketball championship on the planet, fought at Mavericks (94'-96 '), who had chosen him in 2's Draft 1994, then wore the Suns jersey from 1996 as 2001 to move for a seven-year period (2001-2008) to the group that loved and loved more than anyone else and will train from this year. 2008 returned to Dallas to win three years later his first championship with Mavs (2011) and finish his career with Knicks a year later. winning the 1995 rookie of the year prize, is 10 times All Star, was found five times in the NBA's top five and one in the second, as well as four times in the top five, and five in the second. was a member of the US national team when she won the gold medal at the 2000 and 2008 Olympic Games. She completed her career by marking 17.529 points (with 12.6), sharing 12.091 (8.7) assistant- staying behind only by John Stockton-and picking 8.725 (μ.ο 6.3) rebounds in a set of 1391 matches (105) and Oscar Robertson (138). He is also a third in a triple double in the NBA history with 181 (!), behind Magic Johnson (XNUMX) and Oscar Robertson (XNUMX).

Third game for the two eternals today and the host Olympiakos is with its back to the wall. Either he will win and will have another chance to break the seat of Panathinaikos or he will see his great opponent celebrating the championship in SEF having won 3-0. Surely we all expect to see something more than Olympiacos, owes it at least to its world. Panathinaikos knowing that he did his duty and that if he does not win today he will have the opportunity to raise it in front of his people, I believe that he will be affected, even without the players wanting it. Betting on greater accuracy of the hosts, I believe that the ace has enough chances even with the handicap at -5,5.

4 / 4 aim to make this week the Clippers, who are looking for a coach, having already met with Brian Shaw and Byron Scott. Frank Vogel's assistant has passed from the Los Angeles office yesterday day, while the former coach of Cavaliers had a meeting with the club's administrators today.

However, these will not be the only candidates to go through Holywood in order to hear what the club's agents have to say, as there are scheduled appointments for the next two days. Tomorrow the former Memphis coach will take over. Grizzlies, Lionel Hollins, who will not continue with the Grizzlies, after the latter decided not to offer him a new contract. Glass had cracked by about the middle of the season and did not manage to "re-stick" even with the excellent course that Memphis had this year, which was the best in its history, reaching the finals of the West.

Finally, the "fever" of meetings will end (?) On Thursday the former Seattle Supersonics player and coach, Nate McMilan, who was on the bench of the NBA team for the last time in the 2011-2012 season and specifically that of the Blazers, with Portland showing him the exit door before the regular season even ends.

However, as espn reported a few days ago, the favorites to take over the technical leadership of the Clippers are Brian Shaw and George Karl.

Bucks is waiting for the coals to wait for Monta Ellis to decide what to do next season. The "deer" is keen on the eve of their first scorer this season, and according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel have filed a proposal of $ 36 million for a three-year contract, with the same one being negative at first, with the priority being to examine the free market.

The 27-year-old guard kept a condition in the six-year deal he signed with the Warrios that would bring him $ 66 million - before the latter gave him in exchange to the Bucks in exchange for Bogut and Jackson - which gave him the right to The last year of his contract was $ 11 million, with Milwaukee still offering $ 11.8 million for the 2014-2015 season and another $ 13 million for the 2015-2016 season However, that does not seem to be the case at the moment, with Ellis and his agent Jeffrey Fried having until June 20 to decide.

The former Golden State player in his 8 NBA season had an average of 19.2 points, 6 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 2.1 steals, and 0.4 blocks in 37.5 minutes per match and 82 aggregation. It is worth noting that 11 qualifies for the scoreboard this season, but also the fourth in steals.

Naturally, the scenarios of the next station of his career-if he did not eventually remain at Milwaukee-could not be missed, with the first talking about Kings' interest. From what does this result? Sacramento has now a new coach, who is called Mike Malone and who was assistant coach to the Warriors, with Ellis having excellent relations with him from their joint trip to the Golden State.

Whatever was voted NBA coach of the year, George Karl after nine years in the Nuggets is a thing of the past, as the management of the latter proceeded to end its cooperation with the experienced coach. A move that caused great surprise to both his fans. Denver, and in general to the fans of the top basketball league in the world. With one more year left on his contract and the team retaining the right to expand for another three, the 62-year-old coach was pushing for a renewal, setting -according to information- However, the president of the team Josh Kroenke decided not to give it to him and based on the possibility of a possible dissatisfaction on the part of Karl for the next season, he proceeded to terminate it. their cooperation.

Meanwhile, rumors say that the glass - at least on the part of the administration - had cracked a long time ago, as the coach's "wants" were different from those of the managers, with the former wanting immediate results that would end in a good run in the playoffs, while on the contrary the latter focus on a further progress of the roster and specifically of the young players. In fact, one of the reasons that brought the "divorce" -apart from the fact that there were differences in the terms of a possible expansion- is said to be is also the dissatisfaction caused by the club's agents not using JaVale McGee in the starting five, who last summer signed a four-year contract for $ 44 million and went on to take no more than 18.1 minutes on the floor, as George Karl seemed to trusts much more Costas Koufos. A player that the Nuggets managers believe in a lot, as is the case with Evan Fournier, Ga The other guard fails to gain the trust of his coach and plays an average of just 11.3 minutes per game.

After this development the scenarios of who will be the next stop in the career of 62hron coach, but also who will be the one who will succeed him on the Denver counter give and take. One of these states that the "pellets" will ask for permission from Grizzlies to speak with Lionel Hollins (who is also on the exit door from Memphis), while it is worth mentioning that the top of Kroenke's list is also the name of Brian Shaw (Frank Vogel's assistant in Indiana ) Already already sounding that "bears" have approached the former Nuggets coach, whom Nets and Clippers also have in mind.

As far as the ... farewell of the latter is concerned, he has to say goodbye to the fans of the former team of tweet:"I want to thank Nuggets' friends for supporting these 8 years. Denver will always be my home."For his part, George Karl's agent, Warren LeGarie, stood in the way Josh Kroenke handled the whole thing, telling ESPN that:"Surely that was not the ideal ending. Obviously George wanted to remain in the team. But I could not praise the way in which Kroenke handled a really difficult situation for both sides" to conclude that:"He was always simple and honest in every step and every decision, while he was clear about what he was willing and what not to do."

Finally, Denver's boss had only good words to say about the man who led his team to third place in the West Region this season:"George has been a key part of our successes over the last decade and we appreciate what he has done to keep us from the top teams in the West. He's a coach of the Hall of Fame, whose legacy in Denver will last for years. George is a legend in basketball and I could not not respect him as a man and coach. "

For 62time technician, it is worth noting that in his 25 years of presence as the first coach of the NBA, he keeps a record of 1.131-756 and 80-105 in playoff matches. At the same time, in his tenure in Denver, ... conter wrote 423-257 in regular time of the championship and 21-39 in the postseason, while the 21 consecutive season that they found on the bench is the top in the history of the NBA, along with that of Phil Jackson

That's how Nuggets is not only in search of a coach, but also as a replacement for Masai Ujiri, who won the top prize for this season. However, despite the club's desire to renew their partnership, 15 millions that the Raptors offered him were banned for Denver's cashmere, and the streets on both sides split.

Today's A1's last match - with a match tomorrow is also quite interesting - and while most of it is judged what remains to be clarified is which team will occupy the 6 position in the most offshoot and will face the Panionio who is the one that occupies the third place in the rankings.

Ikaros and Panionios have generally good relationships, they are neighbors, during the Kallitheas team several players who played in Panionio in the past year, there are no rivalries (as if the matches were earlier in the matches with Daphne the team of "confectioner "that the fans of the two teams were slaughtered, it is not just the case that the few teams that Gagaloudis has not been fighting is the team of New Smyrna) while Ikaros, if we see our tradition (since the supposed is Panionios) has earned both games as a host since the time he climbed to Axminx. 

I can not tell whether there is any backgammon, it is certain that the cyanerites will fight without Papa, whose show this year shows that he has evolved and is no longer a "player only for small-scale groups", while there is an intense dissatisfaction with Yankovic of the fans of the team, as they left some way to mean Vladadim has signed an agreement to fight the time of Panathinaikos (some fans of Panionios can not "digest" in concert with what happened to the father of u) for me the only unfair of the case is not that he will go to Pao, surely he wishes to go somewhere better, but that this comes to the surface - and he will come out more than a few days before the pretenders as the state now has semi - finals Pa - Panionios at the most. Then I'm sure that these scenarios will be reproduced above all, but finally to our point ...

Yesterday I put the question to the forum if a child knows anything about this match (for those who have not understood it except Greece) but the only one I received was a "like" answer. So if I do not know what they are doing in the tournament sites (maybe even the Greeks write it, I do not know them personally) Panionios if he misses tonight he will play with Icaro on the first round of the most offshore if he wins but with the victory of Mars at the same time Rodos, against the indifferent Colossus, will have to travel to Thessaloniki to deal with the - reinforced is true - Mars. It is not just the difference in the capacity of the two teams that could make Panionio "pick" the Kallithea team as an upcoming opponent, but much more a move that will not happen if they lose the game today. Icarus also wants to win, to avoid Panathinaikos as an upcoming opponent on the first round of the league and obviously he will have fewer or fewer chances than to qualify for the semi-finals.

I was already trying to get the same performance of Paddy Power, which was once again the slowest in downgrading the performance, but I was late because I was out of the question. For those who read us from abroad, the "Thousand Hill" has somewhat better performance, for those who still stay in Greece, the handicaps are at -1.5 for the home side and the best prize is at 1.91 to win at StanJames. For those who are considered to be "arbers" in this particular company, select the local handicaps at Pinnacle, which allows both arbing plus each other. Good morning!

The final stage of the VTB event with 4 couples to compete in a match that is best of 5, ie 3 wins to pass the semifinals. Regarding this particular couple, I will refer briefly to the value that the Alaska is showing and to this great fancy handicraft.

1. There is a clear difference in the quality of the 2 teams, Kimki made a very good year even in Euroleague, he was in a bad state after a small financial crisis with the consequence that he did not go as much as he expected from his roster. She has been solved almost in all positions and after her defeat by Olympiakos in SEF it seems to have recovered quite a while losing only CSKA. On the other hand, the team from Latvia is not the most special, its roster does not frighten against the size of Kimki and her victory against Lokomotiv Kuban in her last round of the regular season came because her opponent was totally indifferent

2. Kimki has shown herself to be particularly strong in her headquarters so far as Flevaris was defeated by Olympiacos, which was also the season that she began to make her "belly" that had the effect of stopping her dreams of a distinction in Euroleague. Mostly for the VTB Liga she had the absolute seat at 9 / 9. The Riga team, despite having played well in the league matches, at 16 and in the match that took place in Kazakhstan, was relatively easy for Astonas to make 2 / 2 in Latvia then to qualify for 8.

3. The delivery shows "Kimki" with the Russians having won 8 victories in an equal number of matches against their current opponent while 4 that was won in Moska won all with 20 points and over.

4. Riga has two negatives compared to her adversary. She has given a lot of games gathered lately with her players being especially tired of being injured because Boutatouta was not able to refresh his basics. From 25 April and then hosts have given a total of 7 games against 2 by Russians who are already restful here and 8 days (a time when their opponents have already fought 2 times). A great disadvantage, of course, is that for Riga the majority of their wounded are players who struggle close to the basket while proceeding to the release of Justin Hamilton, the squad of the team.

5. Like other times, Paddy Power is now too slow to change its prices. (edit the changes in the end but it does not matter I do not fake it for the next time, the analysis started with the purpose of betting -11.5 but I did not get it, it's still worth believing)

Efes, despite being excluded from Olympiakos and will not give the present to the phenomenon of London and having a number of internal problems, mainly between the coach and Vujacijsk, managed to win Fener in the city's derby and with a new victory tonight ess takes a great lead to conquer 4 position over Karsiyaka. It would make it very difficult for me to face problems in Merzin as well as the set of odds for the winner of this game.

If somebody was impressed by the fact that the defeated Efes won Fener, he was more than impressed with how he managed and achieved 90 points. The limit was supposed to be "diving" when it became known which players would be absent for Efes.

Mersin is low on the score, very hard to threaten with downgrades, while basketball favors great scores as defense is almost unclear word for home-grown players who play a lot of "open" at home - as much as testing be the term in the basket - accepting average 87 points. Especially in recent non-stressed games, they are being charged with more than 85 points, only Turkey Telecom scores only 81, but otherwise it is not famous for its ability to attack. As a rosters, Mersin has 4 colored players in the original pence with first-time shot by Ali Karadenez, better known as MacLeather.

I'm waiting for a very fast tune in the game and Efee is not resisting as it did in the previous 2 team match this season when 104 scored as 104 again and 106 again in the away match.

If Collier had 94, Ernemir 88, Olin 87, Alliance 91 and Antalya 86 and Galina 95, I do not have the reason to exceed 90 points in a match without a chance.

If Stan James has a low limit on the game since all of its scores in general are out of line, there are other Russian companies - which accept it normally.

The 4 line-up with Sicagos being ahead of 3-1 and having the chance to make a win on one of the next 3 games of the series to go to the next round where they are waiting for Miami.

After a thrilling game yesterday which was judged after three extensions and the total of the points exceeded almost 100 points the proposed limit given by the companies believed that today the line would be far higher than anything that did not happen as it is it is very difficult to repeat something similar on the basis of both teams this season, especially since we are talking about multiplayer games that anyway come a lot less in comparison with the norm bb period.

Today I think the game will have a totally different tune, first of all the homeowners having the stress that they will be blocked in the event of a defeat - and will end a year too early despite the high expectations in its start-will not have a clear mind in their choices while they have not and players who have experienced such games to take initiative. Both Deron and Johnson have proved lower than expected without justifying their worth while the same holds true for Brook Lopez, who finds a darker back on Bouzer, Noah and Gibson under the baskets. At least where they can show passion is on the defensive, Evans has been trying to drag them into the region, and they have been able to "lock" Deng and Robinson to block the Tavers offensive game.

Sikagos has lost his chances of defeating Ruah last night, with Noah injured, Hahnich has been out for tonight, despite his over-achievement in the previous match without being 100% healthy. So he will have to go with Robinson for quite some time in the box at the position of the far smaller obviously alternate with Deng, who will play something like point forward especially if "Kryptonite" is loaded early with a foul having to mark Deron in the defense. Lack of alternative solutions to "ace" logic will work negatively for hosts who are among the teams with the least effort to shoot three points in the championship. 

I do not think Sikhago will lose the game tonight with lower hands, but by the other, and that there will be a low score in general. It will just make me a terrific impression if the Bulls manage to exceed the specific limit of the points given to them by having the injured team inside and outside the team and some frustration by the over-trying to make the last match and I believe the only way to "hit" the match is with their defense. I also believe that if they stay back in the scoring from early on they will not try their best to keep their strengths for the 6 match that will be held at their headquarters, with the help of the world (the little favor that they will have as homeowners) but also the return of its logic Hurrying to the original form, they will have many more chances of winning-qualifying.
