What are the top stories in NBA this week?
While it's fun to talk about sports curses, Curse of the Bambino, Curse of the Billy Goat, the Madden Curse, if a team was actually cursed, would it look any different than what is currently happening to the Dallas Mavericks? This week's top story is that Mavs All-Star Kyrie Irving tore his ACL on a drive to the rim, knocking him out for the rest of this season and likely a large chunk of next season as well. In the very next game, a 137-107 loss to the Bucks, the Mavs were only able to suit up eight players. And to add insult to the many injuries in Dallas, the Mavs franchise announced this week that season ticket prices would be going up next season, a continuation of their new strategy to do the dumbest possible thing they can think of.
In other injury news, the Sixers released a statement this week saying that the team and Joel Embiid had consulted with specialists about his troublesome knee and determined that he is medically unable to play and will miss the rest of the season. The team and Embiid are working on a treatment plan with the hope that he will be able to return next season. The Sixers are in full tank mode, having dropped 12 of their last 14. You literally cannot escape. Bad news for the Mavericks, because those two Sixers wins over that stretch were a win over the Mavs and a win over Golden State, a game in which former Mav Quinton Grimes scored a career-high 44 points. Meanwhile, Caleb Martin has still not suited up for the Mavericks.
Die Sixers haben aktuell den gleichen Rekord wie die Brooklyn Nets, die zusammengekommen sind. Sie haben sechs Mal verloren, obwohl sie fast die Warriors am Donnerstagabend gewonnen haben. Hot auf beiden dieser Teams Hüllen sind die Toronto Raptors, die nur ein Spiel zurück von Philly und Brooklyn sind und, wie wir später besprechen werden, auf dem höchsten Niveau an Schwierigkeiten im NBA-Historie-Tankjob aufstehen werden. Now from the bottom of the East Standings to the top, the Cleveland Cavaliers have now won 12 games in a row. None more impressive than a 123-116 win over the Celtics in Boston last Friday night. Within five minutes of the game starting, the Cavs were down 25-3. While they would close that gap, the Celtics' lead ballooned back to 17 with eight minutes left in the third. From that point on, however, the Cavs outscored Boston 53-29, led by Donovan Mitchell's 44th.
Jason Tatum hatte auch ein tolles Spiel, er hat 46-16-9 gespielt, aber das war letztendlich nicht genug und die Saison-Serie ist nun 2-2. Die Celtics würden in der nächsten Saison wieder zurückbauen, mit einem Home-Win über den Denver Nuggets. In der Runde für das beste Rekord und Home-Court-Vergleich in einem möglichen Finals-Match-Up, hat die Thunder weiterhin Zeit mit Cleveland, die ihre letzten fünf gewonnen haben und nur ein Spiel zurück von den Cavs sitzen. Einer dieser OKC-Winne war eine 120-103-Winne über die Memphis Grizzlies. Die Verluste war die Grizzlies viertes Mal in der Reihe, ihre längste Verluststrecke der Saison. Aber hey, zumindest war es nicht so schrecklich wie die ersten drei Verluste in dieser Verluststrecke. In konsequenten Spielen gegen die Knicks, Spurs und Hawks, verlor die Grizzlies mit einem großen Total von fünf Punkten und verlor alle drei auf der letzten Sekunde Buzzer-Beatern. Against the Knicks, it was a three from OG Ananobi with five seconds left.
