great game in LA...
1 point in it, with less than 40 seconds to go.

Fisher!!
Poor Clippers just can't catch a break, the bad pass by Gordon with 20 seconds proved crucial.
Good win for the Lakers...Pau struggled tonight, but made a huge shot at the death.

Lucky win for the lakers, a big 4th quarter and a very good win for the heat as well. They are starting to build some momentum.
Heat looking good and the big-3 are playing more consistently. Still haven't achieved anything, but I thought their and James' performance in Cleveland might have been a turning point for them, really were impressive that game and haven't looked back since.
Fisher's been doing that for so many years, no suprises what he did. 6 more road games in a row for the Lakers before the big Christmas day showdown, hopefully Bynum returns before then, the Lakers look like they need his physical presence.

Four of their six straight wins came against cannon fodder so hopefully the Heat bandwagon won't start tooting those horns yet.
The Knicks are playing some damn good ball apparently. How much better would they be had LBJ gone there? Felton looks quality, Amare is steady, and the others are putting in a collective effort.

11 wins in a row for the Mavs, 9 for the Celtics - a lot of long win streaks this season already.
feck yeah did Rose take a dump on the Lakers tonight. Shit was immense.
At this stage, him and Deron HAVE to be the legit faves for MVP, right? Dirk, Howard, Paul and Amare also giving very good showing for themselves. I don't see how Bryant can be in the discussion with Gasol outperforming him often, James is mostly the star at Miami though, but still same deal, and Westbrook is easily outdoing Durant right now.

The Heat really looking like they are starting to gel....
Those 3 consecutive 3s from LeBron last night were wow....That trio really looks like its starting to click, course long long way left in the season..

I saw the 1 half of the Lakers-Bulls game and once again the Lakers started brilliantly, but they fecked up and let a big lead slip. Whenever Gasol is benched the quality/size of the Laker team falls dramatically and we let slip these big leads. Looking at the stats, Pau had to play 45 mins again, and it's just too much to ask him to be playing these many minutes. That fecking cnut Bynum needs to come back ASAP.
Also, he may have been brought for his defense, but Artest's offense at times is pathetic. He is capable of big shots (like he showed against the Celtics in the finals) but he has really struggled on offense this season.

Lakers beat the Nets thanks to Odom, Kobe & Pau.
Knicks won a great game against the Nuggets, their 8th in a row and Stoudemire again scored at least 30 points for the 8th straight game!

It would be interesting to see how they cope should Bosh become injured. Their PF situation is not exactly strong at the moment with Haslam out for the season. If either Lebron or Wade is injured, then the other could take over but what will they do if Bosh becomes injured?
I think they'd be a lot worse of if Wade/Bron got injured. Saying 'one gets injured and the other can take over', but you are talking like 50pts a night there. These two combine for like 70% of their scoring if you account assists and scoring.
Kevin Love has to be thereabouts for MVP. Averaging 20+ ppg and 15 rpg this season. A legit 3 point threat at power forward and shooting around 45% for field goal and 80% for fts.
If he was playing for a bigger franchise, he'll have the MVP sewn up by January.
Timberwolves would be fun to watch in 2-3 years time, the core of the team is there already, Beasley at SF, Love at PF, Milicic at C and when Ricky Rubio finally comes and takes his place as PG. Pretty nice to build around 4 potential all-stars.
Donald Sterling...not only is he a racist bigot, he's also now doing this...
hahahahha
hahahahha
His team has the 2nd worst record in the league, he could play in the biggest market in the world and he still wouldn't get taken seriously when it came to voting for MVP.
Kevin Garnett won the MVP in 03/04 while with the Minnesota Timberwolves,
24.2 points, 13.9 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 2.2 blocks, 1.5 steals 50% FG, 80% FT, and 26% from beyond the arc.
Thing is, his team won 58 games that season. Putting up big numbers for a loser, don't get you MVP props.
It's unfair on him because the Timberwolves are a few years away from becoming a decent playoff team, for now they're still finding their way. Beasley and Miliccic were just signed this year and this is Love's first season as a starter (he started the season averaging only 20+ mins a game and basically forced Rambis to play him longer mins by leading the league in rebounds despite limited numbers).
It is easier to stand out in a team where you're basically the star, but Love is threatening to pull off a 20-20 game almost every other game, hell, he even did it against the Lakers. Might not be MVP for this year, but just imagine how far back the Wolves will be without him. Most improved player for sure though.
*On a side note, he seems rather undersized for a PF, lacks the athleticism of elite players and is still leading the league in rebounds by a comfortable margin. He must love rebounds as much as Kobe loves scoring.
Nah...6 feet 10inches, and 260 pounds - he is not undersized by any means. Without being racist, there are very few athletic big white men playing basketball.
Race aside, hybrid players like Garnett have ruined the perception people have of Power Forwards..very few can do what he's done over his career. Love is just fine, though he needs to learn to play a little defense...he is hopeless.
This. If he puts in as much effort in defense as getting rebounds, he'll be a monster.
What's your opinion on Blake Griffin? Me and my friend reckons he's top 5-10 PF in the NBA right now. I reckon he needs some work on his defense and FT's, otherwise he's pretty much what you can ask for in a PF.
Absolute monster. Don't talk to me about his FT shooting, he's in my fantasy team, and kills me every week.
Defensively most rookies have a ton to learn, he has to realize with the big boys, he can't simply outmuscle them like he did in college. He has to move his feet quicker, and most importantly anticipate better.
My worry with him, is the Clippers, it is a poisonous team and atmosphere, will he continue to work hard, and remain professional?
If he was playing for a bigger and better team than the Wolves, then he won't be putting up those numbers.
feck YEAH!
Kings win!
This cracks me up everytime I see it.
Amusing for us, but it must be horrible for Clipper fans and especially for Davis. I don't know how I would even respond to that, and credit to him for taking the high road as much as he can. Donald Sterling is an absolute shitstain of a human being.
We play Denver, Miami and Boston in the next 3 games, those will prove whether the run on the road was just a blip. Hopefully we can convince Melo to come next season.
Averaging 25% of rebounds available in every game would suggest otherwise though. He doesn't just do it against the smaller teams, he does it consistently every game.

Hope he gets to a better team, would leave him to go to Phoenix
I meant if he was playing for some of the top teams, then he most likely won't average like he is doing for the Wolves.
Celtics with a close win over the Knicks while Cleveland lose to Lebron again. Which team has a better shot at unseating the Lakers from the top of the west; Spurs or Mavs?
Spurs for me. The Mavs always look good till the playoffs comes around before choking.
Great game between Boston & the Knicks. Stoudemire has been really impressive this season.
Lakers won, but I'm a bit suprised they traded Vujacic to the Nets in a 3-way team trade, acquiring Joe Smith & the rights to some other player. Disappointed to lose Vujacic, he was a decent (albeit unreliable) 3-point shooter and was usually deadly from the FT-line. Joe Smith's a PF according to wiki, so probably looking to get a back-up in for Gasol who's been playing a lot of minutes this season.
The Vujacic trade also gives the Nets 2 first-round draft picks - maybe useful if they want to go after Anthony.

Vujacic is shit, has always been shit, and the management plus his teammates had lost all confidence in him, it is a very good trade. Has had a couple of nice moments with the Lakers, but overall he isn't much of an asset.
Joe Smith(National Championship with Maryland) has been a massive flop, but he is another body, Pau has been playing way too many minutes(as you noticed), and at this rate will have nothing left in the tank by the time the playoffs come around. With Bynum back from injury too...Lakers have a few options now in the middle.
-Yao Ming done for the season with Stress Fractures.
just retire already...
just retire already...
Yeah he is done, always saw it coming though, was a good player before the injuries really started to get to him I think he put up 25 and 12 one year so those are great numbers but yeah I dont think he has that much time left in the game
Shame about Yao but the Rockets still think he'll be back for next season.
Should be a cracking game between the Heat & Knicks, hope NY ends Miami's win streak...

A terrific start, both teams playing fast offense and some nice plays from the Knicks.
I love the organ at MSG
No doubt Spike's at the Garden watching his beloved Knicks - wonder if he's had anything to say to King James yet?
I'm sure they chatted all throughout warm-ups if he is there, probably Spike asked if he could direct The Decision 2
Queen James you mean.
and he's probably saying
"we could have been good together...."
