no shot.

given the roster, they've been playing really well all season. they are always competitive, its pretty impressive and while i don't think NBA coaches matter all that much, this dude could have lost the team a long time ago so he's doing a nice job

3rd worst record in the league.

If by no shot, you mean 15.6% shot, then I agree. :lol:

The fact that Kobe didn't score until 8 minutes left in the game?

awesome that he hit the game winner.

i have all my boys texting me saying 'thats what he does!!!'

ummmm, if he doesn't start the game 2-20 they win the game by 20. that last shot is nice, but it should have never been there. they played the freakin Hornets at home and the Hornets had 8 active players

Losing at home against the 3rd worst team in the league, pretty much solely because of Kobe. The rest of the team shot over 50%.

If Kobe has just a bad game instead of an epic bad game, they win by 10.

I thought about it. Disgusting...and more that people have nerve to blow up my phone:

MAMBA DOES IT AGAIN!!!
kobe is clutch!
kb strikes again!!!!!
KOBEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
kobe doing what he does best :)

Really? Really? This is why I really can't stand most Laker fans. But then again, these are the same idiots that say he is still the best player in the league lol. They've been brainwashed. No way the game should have been that close (no offense shel) and I have the sneaking suspicion that he had quite the role in the that.

There is no between with lamer fans. They either are retarded and think he's still the best in the league or they want him traded after every loss. Good ol LA. :lol:

I'd much rather some of the fanbase get traded. The early playoff exit will be great for everyone.

Heat are just a garbage road team since the break.

I believe a loss today puts them at 3-7 since the break.

So, anyone have thoughts on the Thunder coming out the west?

I haven't got to see much of the Spurs this season. Are they a viable opponent? Still think the Mavs could sneak these guys. Seems like they still have some struggles when they are in a half-court game and Dallas (even with their faults) executes well.

Thunder look pretty damn good though.

Norris Cole should stop shooting the ball forever. He's so bad.

Thunder are certainly the class of the west and are every bit as good as the Heat. can never count out the Spurs but i find it hard to believe they can keep up with the athleticism and speed of OKC over 7 games.

James Harden is one of the most underrated players in the league... he isn't that far away from the Russel Westbrook level of being the 2nd best player on the team. shooting 50% and chipping in other ways like he does is amazing, especially as a third option. he's a bonafide stud. Ibaka is as good as it gets as a shot blocker, obviously.

i'm not sure i'm ready to say they are better than the Heat, because it ultimately comes down to who has the best player or 2 and the Heat's top 2 is better than the Thunders top two... but i'm not sure that difference is wide enough to make them anything more than slight favorites.

Ok City is tough. San Antonio is also. I think that might be a west finals matchup, but who knows. We were one and done last year cause of being too old, slow. I think Pop has em on the right path now though. But damn ok city is tough!

As a thunder fan im hoping SA gets knocked off early again this year. They give them fits even without Ginobil. Parker has torched them every game theyve played this year. Need to hold on to home court. Tonight is a nice little trap for the Thunder coming off that great game yesterday, Memphis is tough and then you're at Miami Wednesday If they win the next 3 (Indiana this weekend) They'll be in a great spot for securing the overall #1 having tiebreakers over CHI, and MIA, as the schedule weakens some over the next week or so.

Supposedly, Pregame.com reports that bookmakers Chris Anderson would open a Wizards/UK line at Wizards -30.

My savings account would go on the wizards.

Also, -30?, or 300?
