This week in the NBA: All Hail King Carter

The 19-year-old was playing college ball only last year but this duo of performances could have shut his critics down.

The Cavs face Minnesota Timberwolves and then the Oklahoma City Thunder. It may not be one-way traffic for Trae Young for rookie of the year.

Losers

Miami Heat

Dwyane Wade may have shot a 35 point score against the Raptors on Sunday but that hasn’t stopped the Heat from getting the cold shoulder.

That loss saw them take their fourth L in five games as they sunk to 7-12 and a negative win-record.

The fact that a 36-year-old Wade is the team’s first and best alternative from the bench, says more about the team than Wade himself.

Their loss to the Raptors was full of positive signs, including a season-low seven turnovers and good performance from Bam Adebayo.

But with their bench outscoring their starting five, Coach Erik Spoelstra has some thinking to do.

Big Talking Point

When is Steph Curry back? Golden State Warriors fans will be screaming for his return.

The 3x NBA champ has already missed eight matches for the Dubs.

That has coincided with a four-game losing streak that had the game pointing fingers at the Warriors camp.

Add to it, the beef between Kevin Durant and Draymond Green, and things were looking uncomfortable for the first time in a long time.

Curry is still expected to miss at least two more games to take the tally to a ten-game absence.

The 30-year-old represents the fun GSW which was sold to KD when he joined in 2016.

Green may be the heart and soul but Curry is the glue that keeps this team together.

The sooner he’s back, the better.
