LeBron’s First Triple Double of the Season Came to a sorry loss against the Nets

NBA – Cleveland Cavaliers megastar LeBron James posted his first triple double of the 2017 – 2018 NBA Season after playing their 5th game assignment of this early season. James scores a game high of 29 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assist in a losing effort against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night July 25, 2017 (US TIME) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Finals Score Nets 112 – Cavs 107.


The Cavaliers loss puts them down 5th place in the East Standing with 3 wins and 2 loss and now currently tied with two other teams the Brooklyn Nets and the Detroit Piston.

In the game the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers mostly trailed the entire game down by as much as double digits and even went up as high of 14 points deficit in the 1st minute of the final quarter. But the defending Eastern Conference Champion has made a big run that finally regains the lead since the 1st quarter with half a quarter to go in the final quarter.

As the game near its end, both teams are trading basket with 3’s and exchanging leads, but the home team gets the better of the visiting team as they come with a win at home. 

The Cavaliers had their chances to steal the game after being down for almost the entire game, but the crucial missed free throws by LeBron James that could tie the game with only 7 seconds remaining and the touched down pass by Kevin Love to LeBron James that went into turnover with only 4 seconds to go caused the Cavaliers to lose the game.

Nets Spencer Dinwiddie sealed the game after making two free throws with 0.02 second remaining in the game. Dinwiddie leads the nets in scoring with a career high of 22 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists who is also responsible for the clutch 3’s that brings back the lead to the Nets in the crucial plays of the game and never look back.

Is OKC’s “Big Three” Narrow the Gap against the Defending Champion GSW?

NBA – The Western Conference has gotten bigger and better against their counterpart Eastern Conference for the last few years, The West is composed of very good team compare to the East where if Golden State Warriors, San Antonio Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rockets put into the East? The best team in the East Cleveland Cavaliers will fall to 5th or 6th places in the East Standings? That shows how great and more talented teams in the West.


The 2017 – 2018 NBA Season is about to start with less than a month to go and the teams in the West shows more interesting after some of them form their own super team all in one goal of dethroning the defending champion Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors will remain the top team to beat this season, whether it’s from the West or East, the defending champion is still the favorite of winning the Larry O’Brien Trophy for the second straight season? But there are some legitimate teams that can arguably stop the Warriors?

The new and improve Oklahoma City Thunder is a legit contender for the Western Conference Championship against the Warriors, the late addition of Carmelo Anthony from a trade deal between the Thunder and the Knicks form a “Big Three” in OKC with Melo, Russell Westbrook and Paul George who is also acquired from a trade from the Pacers. The three NBA superstar will surely lift the Thunders chances of much better post season and if lucky enough, they will have a chance to dethrone the Warriors and have some revenge from the ex- Thunder Kevin Durant.

Reigning MVP Russell Westbrook will be the main guy of the OKC, Paul George will be the 2nd options and perhaps Carmelo Anthony as the 3rd options? Will the Thunder’s Big Three stun the defending champion? Or will the Warriors get past the West easily and returns back to the NBA Finals for the 4th straight season? Let’s wait and see…
