Eh, Thunder/Lakers has potential to be good.

[Kawhitstorm]

ty lineup again...

Knicks/Blazers & Bulls/Nuggets should be entertaining.

I was the only poster, IIRC that had the thunder missing the playoffs...They've barely played on the road. If they go 1-2 or worst in this three game road stretch against ty teams...I'd be even more confident with my call.

Omg rondo is so bad. He's taken the fake shot contest to a new level. Bulls need to get rid of him.

OKC is a disaster of a team.

Yep..Nuggets/Kings/Wolves and even the Lakers have a shot at making the playoffs..If Westbrook misses 2 weeks, OKC are done..really a grossly overpaid cast around him with zero offense-generating capabilities .

This Lakers Choke

Edit: averted..

Nick young stealing a pass that wasnt intended for him but makes the three anyway. Lakers legit one of the top 4 entertaining teams this year...

Legit ty poster of the year.

Nick Young hits a buzzer 3 at the end of the first half & then that.

Russ plays so hard (and dumb still many times with all his gambling) but his teammates really let him down. It's crazy how bad they are turning out to be and much of it because of effort.

[spursistan]

Jazz health issues are becoming a serious concern..As overrated as they are, they're still the 4th or 5th best team in the West on paper, but it seems like they are going to sweat it out again for 7th/8th seed because all of their key players are injury-prone..

Gotta a feel they're not exactly enjoying the game style the thunder run..probably the reason why the effort is non-existant.

Even Adams doesnt look like he cares too much nowadys.

No contest, tiest takes, and mega got.That's a winner.

Made a mistake on that ..Can't believe I had them pegged for 4th or 5th..cant remeber.

[DPG21920]

Jazz with Hill healthy looked really good. Even without Favors. They can be a legit playoff team.

I just can't believe how shockingly bad OKC is (not record wise, but on the court). Other than REB, what do they do well? I think numbers show them to be a solid defensive team, but look at tonight. They were a flat out disaster in PnR defense, any short of screens, etc..

Is it the Kobe factor? Meaning Russ is so ball dominant the others just don't care to play? It's baffling.

[Robz4000]

Jesus that Swaggy P shot. Literally stole the shot from Lou Williams.

[midnightpulp]

Swaggy and Sweet Lou are beastly this year. The heart and soul of the Lakers.

They probably need to trade for Rudy Gay (http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=hn3m94d) so they at least have a second consistent scorer on the team. Rudy is a poorman's version of Dominos so he should fit in seamlessly.
