Can Derrick Rose Blossom again? Can my favorite team do something right this season?

Throughout the season so far, there were already many incredible 50+ point games from incredible players. We had Stephen curry score 51 points against the Washington Wizards. He went 12-16 from the three-point line. We saw Klay Thompson score an amazing 52 points against the bulls. What makes this game even more amazing for him is the fact that he broke the record for most threes made in a game, sinking in 14 three-pointers. Blake Griffin also had a great 50 point game, dropping 50 points and making this his career high. But the most incredible 50+ point game we have witnessed was Derrick Rose's career high of 50 points against the Utah Jazz. What makes this an amazing game is the fact that we have not seen Derrick Rose play like an all-star in a very long time. Rose is already out of his prime, sadly due to many injuries. He reached the point where he is known more for getting injured excessively rather than his actual time on the court. Not to mention, the media has made many memes about him because of these injuries.

But this is why it was really nice to see Derrick Rose have an incredible game once again. After the game, Rose teared up because that is how much of an amazing feeling it must have brought to him. Sadly, 2 days after this game, after such an incredible game, he only scored 3 points and left the game early due to ankle soreness. That must have sucked really bad.:( But overall it was really nice to see Derrick Rose do something like that, even after his prime. On top of all these amazing 50+ point games, we also witnessed so many game winners. Lakers' Lebron James scored a game-winning free throw against the Mavericks. Paul Milsap of the Denver Nuggets scored a game-winning tip-in against the Bulls in overtime. This occurred on a Halloween game too, so he really gave the Bulls a trick rather than a treat! (ok I'll stop). Brooklyn Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie, a guy you never even heard of, scored the game-winning three-pointer against the Detroit Pistons. Lastly, we had Victor Oladipo, from the Indiana Pacers, scored the game-winning three-pointer against the Boston Celtics. I know that in my blog posts regarding this season. I have not been talking about my favourite team, the Los Angeles Clippers. This is because nothing juicy has happened to them recently, but I have to say, they are doing a little bit better than I expected. I thought they would start of the season with like 1 win out of there first 10, but they are currently 5-4,  even though they have gotten slightly worse because they started the season off great, for a team like the Clippers.

As you can tell, this year's NBA season is off to a stunning start. My last 2 posts can prove it to you as well. I am very surprised that the NBA has already got some fire in it, and I can't wait to witness whatever happens next.
