The NBA court remains filled with passion. In six games, Harden scored an impressive 41 points and 6 assists, raining down three-pointers with fervor, while Butler stunned the crowd with a super triple-double of 35 points, 19 rebounds, and 10 assists, becoming the first player in history to achieve such statistics. Today's games seem to once again confirm the NBA philosophy that "data is king." Whether it's Harden's 41 points and 6 assists or Butler's triple-double, the personal data of these top players demonstrate their immense influence. However, behind these achievements, they may not be able to mask the problems within their teams, and even reveal certain technical contradictions. First, let's talk about Harden's performance. Undoubtedly, Harden's state in this game was heroic, scoring 24 points in the first quarter, which is second only to Lou Williams' 27 points in Clippers history for single-quarter scoring. However, can a team plagued by its own issues be saved solely by the explosion of one player? Although Harden scored 41 points in this game, the team still won against the Jazz with a score of 144-107, which appears to be a crushing victory but still exposes the Clippers' reliance on other offensive ends. Harden's role in the team is crucial to whether he can lead the Clippers to deeper competition. In terms of chemistry between him and his teammates, although Harden's personal data is explosive, the team's overall offense still shows a certain imbalance. The Clippers' game process shows that Harden can independently solve offensive problems, but he cannot replace the Clippers' defensive…

The Golden State Warriors' victory over the Detroit Pistons was a significant win for the team, as they did not give the Pistons any chances and secured the win. The Warriors, who have been in a slump recently, needed this victory to break out of their low period. In this game, the Warriors were in control of the game's rhythm, leading by as many as 18 points at one point. Although they only won by 3 points, it was still considered a great success given their recent form. This victory also validated the strategies the team implemented during the game. So, what were the secrets to the Warriors' win in this game? Five key decisions were made: Lineup Changes: Coach Steve Kerr made a passive lineup change that turned out well. Hield was moved into the starting lineup, adding another three-point threat. Hield should be paired with Curry, and he contributed five crucial three-pointers in this game. Hield is a player who can only enhance the team's performance when placed in the right environment. Increased Playing Time for Davis: Kerr realized the importance of increasing the team's frontcourt height. Looney received more playing time, and Davis was heavily utilized. Davis had an impressive game with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Controlling the Rebounding: A critical aspect of the Warriors' game was their ability to grab rebounds. They had a total of 49 rebounds, including 15 offensive rebounds. Extending the Rotation: Previously, Kerr rotated players simply for the sake of rotation. However, with injuries affecting the team, he extended the rotation…

The Pistons lost to the Warriors with a score of 104-107, ending their five-game winning streak. The Warriors became the first team to defeat the Pistons in 2025! It's not that the Warriors played particularly well today; it's just that the Pistons were lacking a bit of luck. They were so close, just a little bit short, and Curry and Green, these two core players, almost helped the Pistons defeat the Warriors. Throughout the game, Curry shot 5 out of 21, made 2 out of 14 three-pointers, scoring 17 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 assists. Green shot 3 out of 9, missed all 3 three-point attempts, scoring 7 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists. It's surprising that despite Curry's 2 out of 14 three-point shooting, the Warriors still managed to win. Do you think we'll see Curry return to his former glory this season? However, in the second round of All-Star voting, Curry did surpass Doncic and returned to the starting lineup. This is mainly because Doncic has been injured and out for several games recently, with no significant performance otherwise. Curry's performance this season has indeed been somewhat unsatisfactory! Averaging 22.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 6.1 assists, there is an obvious decline in scoring. Of course, Curry's popularity has also significantly declined, mainly due to the Warriors' poor record this season. And this year, the Warriors' struggles are no longer solely due to Curry's hard work without support from his teammates. In competitive sports, everyone admires strength! Curry's current situation is similar to Durant's. Do we all miss those…

Last summer at the draft lottery, the Rockets only managed to secure the fourth pick. In the subsequent draft, popular prospects Wenyama and Henderson were selected in the top three spots. The Rockets had to choose between the Thompson brothers during their tryouts, ultimately selecting the older twin, Amen Thompson, with the fourth pick, while the Pistons took his younger brother, Ausar Thompson, with the fifth pick. In his rookie season, Amen Thompson performed averagely, averaging 9.5 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.3 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 53.6% and a dismal three-point percentage of just 13.8%. As an outside player, he had almost no three-point ability, and his mid-range shooting was also uncertain, scoring mainly through put-backs or fast-break layups. His younger brother, Ausar Thompson, had similar stats, averaging 8.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.9 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 48.3% and a three-point percentage of 18.6%. Both brothers lacked a significant outside shooting threat, but Amen Thompson had ball-handling and organizing abilities, leaning towards a swingman role. On the other hand, Ausar Thompson had stronger rebounding and blocking skills, leaning more towards a forward position. This new season, Amen Thompson began to fulfill his potential, with his numbers improving as his average playing time increased. He is now averaging 12.1 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.9 blocks per game, still coming off the bench. His three-point shooting has improved to 29%, and he is taking more decisive mid-range shots in games. What's even more…

Let's talk about the Pistons suddenly becoming fierce. Including their recent victory over the Timberwolves, the Pistons have a record of 6 wins and 1 loss. Except for losing to the Nuggets, they have been beating almost everyone else. It must be said that this young team, which has been tanking for years, has finally officially gotten on track. This season, the Pistons have a record of 17 wins and 18 losses, with a win rate of around 50%, and their ranking is firmly within the play-in tournament line. New head coach Bickerstaff said, "Our defense is awesome, our rebounding is awesome, our physicality is awesome, we are awesome." It must be said that Bickerstaff, who has been criticized as a garbage coach for so many years, has now turned things around in Detroit, which can be considered a good coach meeting strong players. In contrast, the former head coach of the Pistons, Monty, appears quite awkward. When the Suns sent away Monty, many coaches and players spoke up for him, saying that the Suns' achievements should not overlook Monty's contributions. However, while many teams spoke up for Monty, very few were willing to bring him into their own teams, and the Pistons stand out among the big spenders. They proactively offered Monty an 80 million super contract, which at the time directly broke the record for the highest-paid coach in NBA history. Unfortunately, as the season progressed, the Pistons' record became worse and worse. The management was decisive enough to admit their mistake in judgment and cut ties with…

Recently, the Houston Rockets have faced some personnel injury issues. However, with their deep bench lineup, this is not an insurmountable problem. It has provided opportunities for players like Tate, Whitmore, and Holiday to showcase their talents. Yet, some players have publicly expressed dissatisfaction with the team after making a slight impact. The team's response to such behavior has been decisive. Indeed, the player who openly expressed his discontent with the team is none other than the 20th overall pick in the 2023 draft, Whitmore. Standing at 2 meters tall and weighing 106 kg, he is a heavy-duty swingman with top-tier physical attributes in the league. He turned 21 just on July 8th this year, making him the youngest player on the Rockets, despite entering the league a year later than Sheppard. Last year, Whitmore performed well, averaging 12 points in less than 20 minutes per game for the Rockets. However, after the return of Tari Eason and the addition of the third pick in the 2024 draft, Sheppard, Whitmore's playing time was threatened. Perhaps he had already expressed his dissatisfaction to the management at the beginning of the regular season, as evidenced by his decision to unfollow the official social media accounts of the Rockets before the start of the regular season. After the start of the season, Whitmore became even more reckless on the court, disregarding his teammates. With only one successful three-pointer out of his first 20 attempts this season, Coach Udoka made the firm decision to bench Whitmore, sending him to the G League to cool…

111:96!!! The 76ers defeated the Pistons, finally stopping their losing streak. The team's current record ranks second to last in the Eastern Conference! Such a result is undoubtedly a disaster for the 76ers! If they want to achieve anything this season, the team must make immediate adjustments, and Embiid must take responsibility for his attitude. You see, at the beginning of the season, the 76ers were highly regarded by the outside world. They formed a three-star lineup during the offseason, and the outside world also expected them to do well in the Eastern Conference! However, reality is cruel. This 76ers team completely exceeded everyone's expectations. They unexpectedly encountered injury troubles. In the end, this 76ers team became a laughingstock! The Pistons are in the rebuilding phase, with limited strength at the moment. It's completely understandable that they lost to this 76ers team! In this game, five players from the 76ers scored in double figures. The best performing player on the team was Maxi, who was the MVP of the game! He went 11 for 24 from the field, 5 for 10 from three-point range, scoring 28 points, 4 rebounds, and 6 assists. His plus-minus on the court was 25! This young player is quite good, but he still cannot become the core of the team. He needs to strengthen his own abilities before he can grow into a top-tier star player! The best performing player on the Pistons was Beasley. Many fans may know that Beasley was a former Lakers player and also a former Bucks player! In this game,…

This season, the New Orleans Pelicans' record has been disappointing, and the team is planning to trade away key players. According to ClutchPoints reporter Brett Siegel, the San Antonio Spurs and Detroit Pistons hope to acquire small forward Ingram from the Pelicans. If Victor Wembanyama teams up with Ingram, the Spurs could rise to the ranks of championship contenders. "In Victor Wembanyama's second season, the San Antonio Spurs have shown obvious progress and clearly need another scorer. By combining Harrison Barnes and Zach Collins' salaries with some draft assets and young players like Sidi Sissoko, the Spurs could potentially get Ingram at a very low risk, high reward price." "Then there are the Pistons, who seem ready to find another star player to pair with Cunningham. With Jaden Ivey out indefinitely due to a leg fracture, the Pistons can be aggressive in the trade market to maintain their competitive position in the East. Ingram has established a relationship with Detroit Pistons basketball operations president Trajan Langdon, and the Pelicans are interested in Isaiah Stewart." Both teams are young and looking for experienced scorers. Despite having Chris Paul as point guard, the Spurs need a scoring forward, and Wembanyama is very attractive to Ingram.

NBA league has many legendary players, and Alex English is one of them. Many new fans are not familiar with the name Alex English, but he was a real tough guy in the league back then. He competed with Jordan as a super shooting guard in the same era and was also a top scorer who won the scoring title. However, there are also geniuses among the younger generation, and the career scoring record that English created in 15 years has been surpassed by Russell Westbrook today. English was drafted in 1976, and his career starting point was not high. He was selected as the 23rd pick in the second round that year. Early on, he also debuted as a substitute, playing for the Bucks in his rookie season, averaging 5.2 points in his first year and 9.6 points in his second year. In the third year of his career, after joining the Pacers, English began to make a comeback. His average score soared to 16 points, and he could grab 8.1 rebounds at the same time, becoming a qualified starting player. Soon after, he was sent to the Pistons. After joining the Pistons, English completely exploded. At the age of 28, he averaged 25 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists, making his first All-Star appearance in his career, which can be considered a late bloomer. In 1983, he could average 28.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 4.8 assists, making him the league's scoring champion. By 1986, when Jordan suffered an injury and only averaged 22 points, English could score an…

Ended! Fractured and Deformed Stretcher Off the Field! Big Contract Ruined...‌ Jaden Ivey, the Pistons' guard, is probably familiar to many fans. The fifth pick in 2022, this season, averaging 17.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4 assists, with a shooting percentage of 46% and a three-point percentage of 40.9%. As one of the super rookies of the new army Pistons, many fans were quite optimistic about Ivey before, and even almost determined that Ivey would get a contract worth over 100 million. Unfortunately, at this golden age when the ball rises most rapidly, Ivey got injured. On the day of the injury, many reporters speculated that Ivey either had a severe ankle sprain or a problem with the medial collateral ligament. The good news is that after the examination, the problem Ivey encountered was a fracture of the left tibia, which is at least better than problems with the Achilles tendon or ankle. The team officially announced that Ivey needs to be observed for at least four weeks, and then re-evaluated whether he can return to the court after four weeks. If the team doctor judges that Ivey can make a comeback at that time, then consider subsequent rehabilitation, training, and return issues; if not, Ivey may have to write off the entire season directly. Here, let me explain to everyone, the fibula and tibia together constitute the leg bones, but compared to the tibia, the weight-bearing function of the fibula is much smaller than that of the tibia. The latter is more used for weight-bearing and support, while the…
