Sezonas otro un pēdējo maču pret Minesotas „Timberwolves” šonakt 2:30 aizvadīs Kristaps Porziņģis un Ņujorkas „Knicks”, kamēr Dāvis Bertāns un „Spurs” 3:30 uzņems „Wizards”.
Pirms divām dienām Ņujorkas „Knicks” gandrīz izlaida drošu uzvaru ārā no rokām, un tikai Karmelo Entonija metiens pēdējā sekundē ļāva izvairīties no papildlaika pret „Timberwolves”. Entonijs ar šo metienu lieku reizi atgādināja, ka ir elites līmeņa spēlētājs, taču tāpat arī nevarēja pamanīt, ka spēles pirmās 47 ar pusi minūtes nekādi nebija stāsts par Entoniju. Tas bija stāsts par Kristapu Porziņģi un Karlu Entoniju Taunsu.
Kamēr Porziņģis guva 29 punktus, atkārtojot savas NBA karjeras trešo rezultatīvāko spēli, Taunss sameta 47 punktus, bez žēlastības izmantojot „Knicks” neprasmi apturēt viņu bez noteikumu pārkāpuma. Taunss arī savāca 18 atlēkušās bumbas, kamēr Porziņģis jau atkal trāpīja trīs tālmetienus. Visās trijās savstarpējās spēlēs pret "Timberwolves" Porziņģis līdz šim uzvarējis, taču vienmēr visai sīvā cīņā (106:104, 103:95, 107:102). Savukārt Taunsam spēlēs pret Ņujorku un Porziņģi izdevies gūt jau pieminētos 47 punktus, kā arī 25 un 24 punktus pagājušās sezonas spēlēs.
Neskatoties uz „Knicks” centra Žoakima Noā nespēlēšanu potītes traumas dēļ, Porziņģis pret Taunsu tiešā divcīņā iesaistījās reti, par ko pats latvietis pēcspēles intervijā pauda nelielu nožēlu. Par Noā iziešanu laukumā šonakt pagaidām vēl nav skaidrības, taču ASV basketbola apskatnieki norāda, ka viņš tik un tā pagaidām nav būtiski uzlabojis „Knicks” aizsardzību.
Tāpat spēlē pret „Timberwolves” ne to labāko sniegumu parādīja Deriks Rouzs, kurš otrā puslaika sākumā ātri nopelnīja trīs piezīmes, kuru dēļ Taunss un „Wolves” varēja izvērsties uzbrukumā, pēc katra „Knicks” pārkāpuma līdz pat ceturtdaļas beigām izpildot soda metienus. Savukārt spēles pēdējās minūtēs treneris Džefs Hornačeks nekautrējās Rouzu izteiksmīgi nosēdināt rezervē. „Jums jāvaicā trenerim, kāpēc tā,” izteicās Rouzs. „Es vienkārši izpildu viņa rīkojumus, tāpēc nav korekti vaicāt man, kāpēc tiku nosēdināts rezervē pēdējās minūtēs.”
„Knicks” uzvaras galvenais iemesls bija veiksmīgā rezervistu darbība. Kamēr Minesotas rezervisti kopā guva nieka piecus punktus, Ņujorka sagaidīja pienesumu veselu 43 punktu apjomā. Lietuvietis Mindaugs Kuzminsks trāpīja četrus tālmetienus, ko no viņa varbūt katrā spēlē nevarēs sagaidīt, bet Brendons Dženingss guva 12 punktus un izdalīja septiņas rezultatīvas piespēles. Tikmēr Minesotai katra rezervista iziešana laukumā bija acīmredzams kvalitātes kritums laukumā.
„Timberwolves” viesos pagaidām uzvarējusi tikai divās spēlēs no deviņām, kamēr „Knicks” var lepoties ar savā laukumā visai pieklājīgu uzvaru bilanci 7-3. Tiesa, Minesotas sakarā gan nedrīkst aizmirst, ka tai nākas lielāko daļu savu maču aizvadīt Rietumu konferencē, turklāt gūto un ielaisto punktu ziņā „Timberwolves” ir pat priekšā Porziņģa komandai. „Knicks” vidēji spēlē zaudējusi ar 3.1 punktu starpību, kamēr „Timberwolves” tikai ar 1.0, kas priekš konferences priekšpēdējās vietas ir pārsteidzoši augstais septītais labākais rādītājs Rietumu konferencē.
Savukārt Dāvis Bertāns un „Spurs” mēģinās izvairīties no kārtējās neveiksmes savā laukumā. Ja izbraukumā „Spurs” paņēmusi maksimumu (11 spēlēs 11 uzvaras), mājās gūtas tikai četras uzvaras astoņās spēlēs. Šonakt viesos ieradīsies „Wizards”, kuras bilance izbraukumā ir pavisam pieticīga (1-6), un sezonas pirmajā savstarpējā spēlē ar 112:100 uzvarēja Sanantonio.
Bertāns iepriekšējā mačā pret Vašintonu nospēlēja 11 minūtes un punktus neguva. Taču pēdējās piecās spēlēs Bertāns trīsreiz pārsniedzis septiņu punktu robežu, turklāt izcēlies ar lielisku metienu precizitāti 70% apmērā.
„Spurs” iepriekšējā mačā nepiedalījās Tonijs Pārkers, Pau Gazols un Manu Džinobili, kuriem visiem šonakt vajadzētu atgriezties ierindā, taču atpūtu varētu izpelnīties Kavai Lenards vai Lamarkuss Oldridžs. „Spurs” nodomus gan paredzēt grūti, un tas taps skaidrs tikai dažas stundas pirms spēles sākuma, taču šobrīd „Spurs” ir pieejami visi spēlētāji, kas nozīmē, ka Bertāns rezervistu hierarhijā ieņem vietu ārpus pirmā piecinieka nomaiņas, proti, vispirms laukumā dodas Diveins Dedmons un Deivids Lī, kamēr Bertāns vēlāk un atkarībā no spēles gaitas.
Tikmēr pārliecinoši labākais „Spurs” rezervists ir Petijs Milzs, kurš sezonas sākumā arī kļuvis par komandas labāko saspēles vadītāju, pagaidām visai pārliecinoši pārspējot Pārkeru. Milzs gan sākumsastāvā nedodas, taču viņa nākšana laukumā vienmēr saasina spēles ritējumu, un viņš bija galvenais iemesls „Spurs” iepriekšējai uzvarai Dalasā, kurā Austrālijas aizsargs izcēlās ar 23 punktiem.

KP ar Taunsu būs atkal entuziasma pilni pierādīt sevi viens otram. To, ka Taunsam nebūs 47pt spēle tas ir skaidrs, redzēsim.
Rozem šodien būtu teorētiski jāierāda vieta Rubio, bet gribētu defa redzēt pret Rubio tieši Jeningsu.

Pēc viņa nodraftēšanas un fantastiskā snieguma parādīšas, amerikāņu GM vairs neskatīsies uz latviešu jaunajiem talantiem ar tik lielu skepsi un izrādīs lielāku interesi par viņiem. Lielāka iespēja tikt draftētiem.
Mums aug iespaidīga basketbola paaudze. 2 nba jau tagad. Pasečniks un kurucs iespējams pievienosies nākamgad( ceru). 4 nba spēlētāji - tas ir nopietni, plus vēl Timma un Bertāns vecākais, kuri balansē uz nba robežas. Iespaidīgi.

Porterhouse steak or lobster? Porsche or Ferrari? Karl-Anthony Towns or Kristaps Porzingis? Sometimes, you just can’t lose no matter which way you choose.
“I wouldn’t mind taking whoever’s left,” one scout said of the choice between two of the NBA’s premier young big men.
A small, informal sampling of NBA scouts and executives seemed to arrive at one conclusion: You can’t lose with either the Timberwolves’ Towns or the Knicks’ Porzingis, either now or three years from now.
“They’re both great players. They’re both going to be All-Stars. They’re both on track to have Hall of Fame careers. One guy had 47 [points], the other guy had what, [29]?” said one opposing team executive. “If you polled all the other teams, all of them would take either player in a New York minute. They wouldn’t say, ‘I’ll take Towns over Porzingis.’ They’d say, ‘If I could get either one of those two guys I’d take him.’ ”
Towns and Porzingis face off Friday at the Garden after the Knicks’ 106-104 victory at Minnesota on Wednesday.
Both are just 21. The 7-foot Towns, the unanimous Rookie of the Year winner last season, is averaging 22.4 points (after his 47-point detonation against the Knicks) and 10 rebounds. He is shooting 50 percent from the floor and 37.5 percent on 3s. The 7-foot-3 Porzingis averages 21.4 points and 7.2 rebounds. He is shooting 49.1 percent overall and 40.8 on 3s.
But, an opposing talent evaluator said, throw out the numbers. Their character also makes them special.
“They respect each other. They both have old-school values,” the talent guy said. “It’s kind of refreshing to see young players respect the game that much and play the game unconditionally. All these young guys that come into the league, we talk about upside. Well, these guys are there.
“The best thing about both their games is they have an understanding of how to play, who they are. There’s no whistles and bells. It’s just two good, fundamentally sound, solid basketball players.”

But if you had to pick one, the split was even among those polled. One chose Towns because “he is the better defender.” Another said Porzingis “only because he’s a little bigger, a little more versatile.”
But repeatedly it was more like “You take one, I’ll gladly the other.” Again, steak or lobster …
“I fully believe they are special players,” one Western Conference scout said. “They both stretch the floor, they both have 3-point range. Towns or Porzingis? Boy, that would be a great problem to have.”
The two have met three times in their embryonic careers, and while Towns clearly has the better numbers, Porzingis has the edge where it matters — the Knicks won all three meetings. That is despite Towns scoring 96 points (32.0 per game), grabbing 37 rebounds (12.3), blocking six shots (2.0) and shooting 53.7 percent (36-of-67) overall and 25 percent (2-of-8) on 3s.
Porzingis’ numbers in those games: 46 points (15.3), 16 rebounds (5.3), 10 blocks (3.33), 42.5 percent shooting (17-of-40) and 30.8 percent (4-of-13) on 3s.
“To say one will be better than the other, those arguments to me are pointless. They’re both good players. They’re both going to be All-Stars. Both tracking toward Hall of Fame careers. I guess whoever ends up playing in the more important games becomes the better player,” the opposing exec said. “They are going to be compared to each other their whole careers. And all the other teams, if you picked either one of them, would build with the other.”

Es neko nejaucu. Ir Derons Williams (iesauka D-Will, spēlē DAL, agrāk bija CP3 līdzinieks (2 sezonas), un otrs ir Deriks Williams, ko arī tāpat pa laikam sauca par DWill, bet tā nebija viņa kļička NBA apmēros. Derons ir PG, Deriks ir SF (PF max, ne C), bet ne Dereks. To pat uzvārdā var izlasīt.
