CARMELO ANTHONY AND THE HOUSTON ROCKETS Will make a NAME FOR THEMSELVES THIS SEASON!

It's a bad news for the whole NBA league. Carmelo Anthony is really mad now, the HOUSTON ROCKETS is in full support. Most of the league is disrespecting Carmelo Anthony last year. Even Jason Tatum and Kevin Know who hasn't proven anything yet in the league are mocking him.

Carmelo was once the best scorer in the league and he is averaging over 26.5 ppg in his whole career if I am not mistaken. He is like a bull in the post, his mid range and long range shots were unguardable. Stephen Smith is true... Phil Jackson devalued Melo by always criticizing him and putting him on the trade list while he was still in New York Knicks team. He go to Oklahoma and things went salty in him. Paul George, Russell Westbrook and him didn't have a good chemistry tha's why they get upset by the young Utah Jazz team led by the outstanding rookie in the name of Donovan Mitchell.

Carmelo Anthony was surprised when the OKC waived him during the free agency stage. He never thought that a player as good as him will be treated like a garbage. A lot of teams pursue him but the Houston Rockets is his preferred destination.

Now that he is with his buddy Chris Paul together with the MVP James Harden, the Houston Rockets were unstoppable now. I'm pretty sure Stephen Curry is worried right now same as Kevin Durant.

It's true that the Golden State Warriors are still the best team but the Houston Rockets is a big threat, many people thought that they just got lucky last year because Chris Paul got injured but now that Chris is back with Melo then it's completely different story.

They lost Trevor Ariza because they can't give him the money but Melo is a big upgrade, he plays defense too and he is a big mismatch on the post. He, Paul and harden is a big headache to any coac of the team.

Fans were so excited with the development of the Houston Rockets team, on the other hand... the fans of Golden State warriors were so worried because they knew that Melo is a big threat to their 3 peat this season. Last season the Houston Rockets pushed the Warriors to game 7 without Melo, what more if Melo is on the line up?

GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS VS SAN ANTONIO SPURS IN THE FIRST ROUND

The first round of NBA playoffs is about to begin in just a few days. The Golden State Warriors will be facing the San Antonio spurs in the first round, this is a rivalry that most fans are waiting for.

Kawhi Leonard will be out, no signs of him coming back but the Spurs have showed some firepower in the late season, Manu Ginobili is still there together with fire power power forward Lamarcus Aldridge who is averaging 20 plus pts this season, his best season in Spurs.

Stephen Curry is still out but Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson for sure will carry the struggling Golden State Warriors.

BOLDEST PREDICTION: 4-3, San Antonio Spurs will upset the Warriors.

THE 2018 NBA PLAYOFFS IS COMING

We're just a few days away from watching the greatness again, the 2018 NBA playoffs is coming. It is the most anticipated playoffs ever. There are lot of dramas that we've seen during the regular season. The Cleveland Cavaliers made a lot of crazy trades, there are lot of season ending injuries that changes the shape of the league. Demarcus Cousins was out, Kyrie Irving won't play in the playoffs, Stephen Curry was still questionable, we don't know what is going on with Kawhi Leonard's life.

The Houston Rockets was steady and they are the favorite to win the championship, Toronto Raptors made a huge improvement and they think they are ready to dethrone King Lebron James. The Philadelphia 76ers is showing bright chances of winning the Easter Conference, Ben Simmons is awesome so as Joel Embiid who is likely to comeback in the first round of elimination.

Portland Traiblazers made a run that gives them security on the third spot, Utah Jazz surprised the league once more and is playing really great lead by their super rookie Donovan Mitchell.

Anthony Davis' MVP numbers is carrying the Pelicans who was supported by the emerging point guard Rajon Rondo, who finally found a home that will embrace his play making abilities.

Golden State Warriors is still a contender but a lot of experts feel that they don't have it anymore, the injuries were weakening them and the Houston Rockets is outplaying them in the regular season.

BOLD PREDICTION: Cleveland Cavaliers VS Houston Rockets in the finals.

KLAY THOMPSON AND JOHN WALL RETURN TO THE HARDWOOD

After the long awaited return of John Wall, he finally returned on the hardwood. John Wall was sidelined due to knee injury that he is enduring for the past seasons. Wall, the leader of the Washington Wizards had some issues with his teammates but he confirmed that it is was already fixed before he return to the game. John wall's return will change the future of the eastern conference, this dynamic 2 way guard can change the complexity of the game anytime he wants to. His scoring ability and passing ability can make a real difference to the game. John Wall is showing to game rust as he scored 15 pts and 14 assists to beat the Charlotte Hornets, he also added one steal and three rebounds. Washington Wizards is 42-34 right now (sixth in the Eastern conference) but with his return.. their standings will climb up for sure.

On the other hand Golden State Warriors' ace shooting guard Klay Thompson finally returned, Klay was sidelined for several games due to finger injury. This hot shooting guard will surely step up while Stephen Curry is sidelined because of knee injury and expected to return during the first round of playoffs. Golden State Warriors was an injury plagued team but still manage to remain at the higher position of the standings having a record of 54-21 behind the Houston Rockets.

NBA MVP RACE

The 2018 NBA MVP race is getting tighter and tighter, the star players were all showing off what they are capable of doing. So many young talents were proving the league that they belong. Injuries and slumps are making some players go lower on the ranking. This is just the temporary ranking, this will change during the playoffs series:

1. James Harden. The Houston Rockets is leading the league in standings, Harden is the leading scorer of the league. His clutch plays and play making ability prove the league that he is the number one, although Chris Paul is injured sometimes... he still manage to carry his team, Rockets is the favorite to win the finals because they have a player that can carry them up to the final quarter of the game.

2. Lebron James. Lebron is averaging almost triple double this season, he prove the league once more that he doesn't need a robin to reach the playoffs, although the Cavs is only sitting third in the east... they are still a force to reckoned with. At his age, Lebron James can still carry the team and lead them to finals once more.

3. Anthony Davis. Even though Demarcus Cousins is injured and will be out for the remaining of the season... Anthony Davis prove once more that he can carry the league and put them into playoffs. He leads his team in points and rebounds and also in blocks, he is a work horse and his numbers are very scary, his numbers is the evidence that they can reach the second round in playoffs.

4. Kevin Durant. Durant is still one of the league's pure scorers, the Warriors is only in a second place right now that's why his rank is low, I'm pretty sure that when the warriors swept some teams in the playoffs then his rank will go high again.

5. Damian Lillard. Blazers is the most improved team this year, thanks to Damian's scoring prowess and clutch play making ability. His rank will continue to rise especially when they pass the first round playoffs for the first time in how many years.

IS THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS IN TROUBLE RIGHT NOW?

We don't know what is the real situation of the golden state warriors right now, nobody knows, some people are saying that they are faking an injury, some people are saying that their superstars are just resting. But what we saw from Stephen Curry is real, he is really hurt. His knee is badly wounded and it needs some serious treatment.

With Klay Thompson and Draymond Green still sidelined with minor injuries... the momentum of the Warriors doesn't look good right now especially in a stacked and competitive western conference. I'm pretty sure James Harden and Chris Paul feels a little comfortable now, the Houston Rockets is a serious and legitimate contender for the Championship and they are really taking it seriously.

We don't know what is the real situation of the Warriors and what are the adjustments that they must do when the playoffs start running. They will pass the first round for sure but I don't know about the second round. If injuries never heal then they were so luck if they still made it to the western conference finals. Blazers were so hot, same as the Pelicans... never underestimate those teams. Kawhi Leonard and the Spurs still can't get enough of their dramas so I consider them as out of the competition.

If the Warriors want to repeat this season then they better cure Stephen Curry as fast as possible.
