Jordan Clarkson cleared by NBA to play for the Philippines in the 2018 Asian Games in Indonesia

NBA backtracked its decision to not allow Cleveland Guard Jordan Clarkson to play for the Philippines in the 2018 Asian Games.

On their official statement, NBA said “Due to a lack of clear communication of that agreement between the NBA and the Chinese and Philippines Basketball Federations, and after further discussions with both Federations, the NBA has agreed to provide this one-time exception,”

The same “one-time exception” was also be given to Chinese NBA players Zhou Qi of the Houston Rockets and Ding Yanyuhang of the Dallas Mavericks.

Jordan Clarkson is currently traveling to Indonesia but won’t be able to join the Philippine team in their first game, since he is expected to arrive in Jakarta at 10 a.m. of Thursday, which is the same day the Philippines kicks off its game against Kazakhstan.

Jordan Clarkson also posted this on his Facebook account.

NBA Finals Schedule

Cavs and the Warriors will meet in NBA Finals for the fourth consecutive year. Just like last year, Cavs will be the underdog and who could blame them. I expect this to be a quick series.

Houston Rockets destroyed the Cleveland Cavaliers in a 120 – 88 win

February 4, 2018

ESPN;

The Houston Rockets played beautiful basketball Saturday night, and they destroyed the Cavs 120-88. Chris Paul was a maestro from the opening moments; it was a display of the reason why the Rockets are brilliant when he and MVP candidate James Harden are so great together (now 23-3 when both guards start). Paul was a breathtaking plus-47 for the night. The score probably could’ve been anything Paul wanted it to be.

The statement above probably sums up the whole game. Lebron James did not have his usual numbers, after playing for 31 minutes he only have 12 pts, 9 rebounds and 9 assists, and even though they got some individual contribution from Rose and Wade (both with 10 pts), Thomas (12 pts) and Smith (12 pts), as a team the Cavs are lethargic on both ends of the floor.

Rockets will visit Brooklyn, while the Cavs will go to Orlando on Tuesday. Hopefully the two days rest will allow the Cavs to regroup.
