NBA regular season, the Clippers lost 98-116 to the Thunder. The Clippers were leading in the first half of the game, but under the huge defensive pressure from the Thunder in the third quarter, their offense and defense collapsed, ultimately leading to the loss. After the game, the Clippers faced two joys and one concern. The first piece of good news is that Coffey has been performing exceptionally well during this period, almost continuously exploding. He scored a season-high 26 points with 10 out of 14 shots, including 6 out of 8 three-pointers. Even without Harden, he was still able to control the game, which is a comforting point. Looking at it now, he is sufficient as Leonard's substitute. After all, his scoring ability is outstanding, and if traded, it would not be a good choice. He has already demonstrated first-round value. However, his ball-handling and passing skills are not great, but his shooting is definitely not a problem. In addition, the bench players have recovered their form. Porter Jr. and Bamba led the team to an advantage in the first quarter, and without Harden, Porter Jr. can still lead the team. It was just in the third quarter that he got carried away, which has always been his weakness. However, Bamba can still provide stable output, with a very high shooting rate of 5 out of 6. Miller and K. Jones also had good shooting percentages, and Batum remains a solid base, serving as a versatile player. If the bench can maintain this level of play, the Clippers' strength…

The Mavericks suffered another defeat at the hands of the Rockets, a game that exposed their current predicament. The scoreline of 99-110 may seem close, but in reality, there was no suspense. The Rockets did not have to exert much effort; they simply relied on their stable performance and efficient offense to easily secure the victory, while the Mavericks seemed to lose the game step by step themselves. In this match, Irving and Thompson combined for 9 turnovers, which became the core reason for the Mavericks' failure. Each turnover felt like digging their own grave. Irving's indecisiveness on offense and Thompson's frequent misses from three-point range made the entire Mavericks' offense seem directionless. You might wonder, how could these two former superstars falter so today? They are capable of better performances, but it is clear that they are no longer the figures who can lead the team forward. At the start of the game, the Mavericks played reasonably well. Thompson's three-pointers were almost like a stabilizing force, and Washington's breakthroughs brought some vitality to the team, giving the Mavericks a temporary lead. However, everything was shattered by the Rockets' quick counterattacks. Jalen Green found his rhythm, and Shen Jing's performance in the paint made the Mavericks' defense helpless. Every time you thought the Mavericks could stabilize the situation, they would lose their composure. The Rockets played simply and directly, with many scoring options, while the Mavericks' defense was as fragile as paper, allowing anyone to score. By the second quarter, the Rockets completely took control of the game. Shen Jing…

Triple-doubles refer to a game in which three out of the five basic statistics reach double digits. Generally, it is easier for points, rebounds, and assists to reach double figures, and most players' triple-doubles are of this type. In NBA history, the player with the most triple-doubles is Westbrook, who has an impressive 201, far ahead of other current players. Even a versatile player like James falls short by 81 compared to Westbrook. However, there are two current players who still have a chance to break this record. Let's take a look at who they are! The Value of Westbrook's 201 Triple-Doubles The 16-17 season was when fans redefined the concept of a triple-double. That year, Westbrook achieved the second-ever average triple-double in NBA history. The first was by the early NBA great, Oscar Robertson (known as "the Big O"). Before this, people didn't have much of a concept about averaging a triple-double. After that, triple-doubles were rare, something many players could only occasionally achieve, making them very precious. This is why we saw the bizarre incident where James' former teammate, Ricky Davis, attempted to grab his own missed shot to pad his rebound stats in pursuit of a triple-double. After all, triple-doubles are hard to come by, and missing one might mean not getting another chance for a while. In that season, after Durant left, Westbrook took on the offensive burden for the Thunder and transformed into a ball-dominant core player. He averaged 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 10.4 assists per game, achieving 42 triple-doubles in a single season.…

NBA star Howard was once one of the hottest players in the league, and he was also hailed as a player who could be traded for James alone. At his peak, Howard was the No. 1 center in the league, and his outstanding physical talent allowed him to dominate the paint. He entered the NBA as the top pick straight out of high school and even led his team to the finals on his own. His status was quite high, and this year he was also included in the list of candidates for the 2025 Basketball Hall of Fame. After leaving the Magic, Howard played for several teams, including playing alongside Kobe and Harden. Later, he returned to the Lakers to team up with James and won the only championship of his career. After that, Howard left the NBA league and later joined the team from the island, where he performed well. Throughout his career, Howard has been very successful, earning a total salary of $247 million. With various endorsements and commercial activities, he can be considered a top-level wealthy individual. However, Howard was only 18 years old when he entered the league, and his youthful ignorance was clouded by huge contracts and the flashy lifestyle outside. He squandered much of the wealth he accumulated. In addition, Howard's love life is rich and colorful, with countless girlfriends. According to media reports on illegitimate children, there are already five of them. These illegitimate children make Howard pay a large amount of child support every year, which is somewhat strenuous for him…

Everyone knows that just a few days ago, the Lakers completed a super heavyweight trade. They reached an agreement with the Nets, sending Russell, Lewis, and three second-round picks to the Nets in exchange for Finney-Smith and Milton. This trade was like giving the Lakers a shot of super-strong stimulant, infusing them with confidence. Why? Because the team acquired Smith, such an awesome wing 3D player, and Milton is also a strong rotation player on the perimeter. Looking at it this way, the Lakers really made a big profit. Don't think that after completing this trade, the Lakers will stop before the trade deadline this year. Pelinka's mentality this season seems to be ready to go all out, determined to dispel the gloom of the past few seasons with no harvest. Some fans are wondering if the Lakers make another big trade, will they still have enough chips? After all, there are only so many players on the team who can play, and if a few more are sent away, the depth of the lineup will definitely take a hit. You know what? The Lakers have some pretty key chips in their hands, most of which come from the draft picks they own. As American media has tallied up, the Lakers have quite a lot of draft picks available for trading, enough to facilitate a super heavyweight deal. Lakers general manager Pelinka is very confident about making another big trade. Moreover, American media believes that the Lakers will definitely show great aggressiveness before the trade deadline. According to Lakers beat…

With the continuous evolution of NBA gameplay, scoring has become much easier for players today compared to a decade ago. This season alone, more than 40 players in the league are averaging over 20 points per game. Considering that superstar pairings have become commonplace in the current NBA, we've seen numerous high-scoring duos emerge, with some teams boasting an average combined score of over 50 points. For instance, this season's Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard have a combined average of 58.6 points. However, since the regular season is far from over, their performance may still fluctuate. Excluding this season, let's take a look at the highest-scoring duos in NBA history. Anthony & Iverson (52.1 points per game in the 08 season) In the mid-2006-2007 season, Allen Iverson was traded to the Nuggets. Although he was no longer at his peak, he still had considerable scoring ability. At the same time, the Nuggets' star player Carmelo Anthony had matured, forming a formidable outside shooting duo with Iverson. By the 2007-2008 season, both their averages ranked in the top five in the league, with Iverson averaging 26.4 points (third in the league) and Anthony following closely with 25.7 points (fourth in the league). Under the leadership of Anthony and Iverson, the Nuggets won five more games in the regular season than the previous year. However, due to fierce competition in the West, their ranking actually dropped to eighth in the West, and they were eliminated in the first round that year. James & Wade (52.2 points per game in the 11…

The Spurs lost 110-112 on the road to the Timberwolves, dropping to 10th place in the rankings. The Timberwolves defeated the Spurs to win their third consecutive victory, moving up to 8th place in the team rankings. In the previous game, the Spurs defeated the Nets with Wenyamama's outstanding performance. In this game, he also played well, shooting 13 of 30 for 34 points and 8 rebounds, including 4 of 12 from three-point range. Why does Wenyamama love to shoot three-pointers so much when he clearly can't make them? Barnes scored 24 points, Vassell 22 points, and Paul shot 0 of 6 from the field but made all six free throws for 6 points and 14 assists; Edwards had 14 points and 8 rebounds, Randle 16 points, Gobert 17 points and 15 rebounds, and DiVincenzo scored 26 points and grabbed 7 rebounds. At the start of the game, the Spurs took an early lead over the Timberwolves by 8 points, but in the second quarter, the Spurs struggled and lost by 20 points in a single quarter. In the third quarter, Wenyamama scored 11 points to help the team tie the score, but in the final crucial moments, the Timberwolves won the game with free throws. The Rockets lost 100-104 at home to the Heat, suffering their second consecutive loss. Due to the Grizzlies' loss to the Thunder, their ranking remained unchanged, with the Grizzlies in second and the Rockets in third. In this game, the Rockets repeated their mistakes from the previous game against the Timberwolves. They were leading…

On January 3, 2025, Beijing time, the NBA regular season saw the 18-win and 14-loss Lakers host the 11-win and 21-loss Trail Blazers. This was a must-win game for the Lakers, with Hayes returning but Davis and Vincent absent, significantly reducing their combat effectiveness. Could they defeat the Trail Blazers? The Lakers' starting lineup was Reeves + Christie + Hachimura + James + Hayes, while the Blazers were without Grant, starting with Simmons + Sharpe + Avdija + Kamara + Ayton.
