I'm amazed Kobe is playing like this to start his 21st season.

Thunder should tank for the 2nd seed to try to avoid the Lakers.
Lakers winning today = Zig Zags winning the Rumble..
Oh shit! Rumble tonight? Thanks for the reminder, man.
Again, I ask why Kobe doesn't play like this all the time? This is MVP-level, not that dumbass chucker bullshit he was doing all season. He's making his team better and still getting buckets. He's getting better looks. How can such a smart guy play so stupid? PEACE.

Congrats Heavy. You called it. I still don't think this will make a difference in the long run but good job good effort. See you fellas in a week.

McGrady was always better though. That's why he's taken his talents to China.
You can't avoid a lottery team, bruh. Old Snake will return once he realizes Melo is willing to shoot in the 20s to get that scoring title. PEACE.

Durant is already ahead in the scoring title chase. It's his.

Not even David Stern would rig a draft lottery like that.
anything can happen when you have ynb on your team

Great win. Hopefully we build on this momentum. I just want to make the god damn playoffs at this point...
And Kobe Bryant is out of this world. These last two games have been fucking surgical. There is nothing this dude can't do exceptionally well on the basketball court....

Damn, now Lakers vs Celtics tickets are gonna go up in value 
Heavy's declaration that they would go 5-1, or 4-2 at worst during this stretch easy
or easy like the Nets January schedule?

YNB lost this game for the Thunder. OKC continues to look stupid for trading away Harden over 5 mil and giving ibaka 60.

Lakers getting crushed by the Pelicans on Tuesday is the biggest lock ever.
B-b-but he almost got a triple double!
13 assists too, clear sign he was running the offense well.

Kevin Martin had 9 points on 8 shots
what a great player, completely worth trading away the 5th leading scorer in the league

they should have traded Westbrook instead of Harden
Or they could've just never paid Ibaka first.

For what? Westbrook is an essential cog to the team and he's still an elite player even with all his faults.
Realistically they could have given Ibaka a not-so-ridiculous contract. Or they could have simply amnestied Perkins.

hard to play in the clutch when you have your PG pulling up for threes with 20 seconds on the shot clock when you're down late in the fourth quarter or running around the court and passing you the ball where you have to jack up a difficult shot because he's used up all the shot clock.

JJ Redick has 16 of Orlando's 20 points right now against Detroit. 5 of 5 from 3, plus 1 of 1 from the foul line. Auditioning for a contender.

First of all, Cloving I'd rather you stay and post. I really don't mind about cancelling the bet. Second, did everyone hear what Harlan said at the end there? I'm paraphrasing but: "OKC said they don't want to give the Lakers any momentum with a win today. They don't want this game to be the one that turns the season around". --> That's EXACTLY what I've been saying could happen all week and Harlan just echoed my sentiments almost verbatim. This was a huge win, it COULD turn things around and it also could be a fluke, but just from watching sports for so many goddamn years we've all seen this type of thing happen many times in the past. Just think about it for a minute, you know you've seen it too... where a team playing terrible most of the year has a 'momentum-shifting' game that swings the season for them. It doesn't make logical sense but there's other factors at play in sports besides logic and stats. Chemistry, confidence, morale, HEART, all of this shit sounds corny but it matters and today was evidence of that. Will it continue? I don't fucking know, they could lose the next one but my gut feeling says this was the turnaround game. That's all...

That Perkins trade was real dumb too.

Rather pau Perkins 7 mil than green 9 mil.
Pretty much this. Guess Abaka was worth $48 mil for dem blocks!.

Tomodachi wa Mahou
And he gets taken out of the game with 5 mins to go in the first quarter.
The fuck?
And the Pistons go on a 12-2 run once hes on the bench.
Amazing.

Get it done if you actually want to make the Finals, Presti.
Maybe this would make more sense for the Celtics' rebuild:

I actually haven't looked at the rest of the schedule but if this is true then there you go, this is a prime opportunity to get things straight.

Not trading Green away doesn't mean they give him 9 mil, they could have let him walk.
0 > Perk at 7 mil > Green at 9 mil

He doing well all the year but on these road trip, I follow him because I'm an fan.. as faulty Westbrook is, he does learn to defer to KD this year.. majority of shot at 4th, shoot by Durant.
All loss in these road trip, Durant shoot like 30?% at 4th.
