The Knicks should perform harakiri right now to save face.

Sixers/Wolves started the game by shooting at the wrong baskets, so the game had to restart.

Lakers still in it against the Wizards late, good game although Lin and Boozer are awful. Young and Kobe doing great.

still in it late = lost by 16 lol

It was like a 4 point game at the time, would definitely say that's still in it since there were 3 minutes left. Checking the box score isn't the same as watching the game.

I watched the whole game and yeah it was close, but the better team dropped the hammer on them in the final 2 mins to win by 16. Kobe didn't even make a FG in the second half.

How many easy dunks did the Wizards have late in the 4th? That was ridiculous.. I feel like every Wizards shot in the last 3 minutes was at the rim... Definitely was a close game until the final 2 minutes though.

Also... I'm a little disappointed this thread isn't 1000+ pages anymore..

I don't know what the Lakers issue in the 4th quarter is this year but they've been an AWFUL 4th quarter team this season. They've lost probably about 5 games in the 4th that they otherwise could have and should have won if they played how they did in the 1st 3 quarters. Part of the problem is they rely too much on Kobe in those situations, no one else does much to contribute other than Young recently. But even Kobe has been sloppy near the end of most games. Other than the Toronto game, Kobe hasn't really been the closer he should be this year. My guess would be it's probably fatigue, but he's also made some bad decisions such as taking wild shots or forcing passes.

Also yes like you mentioned, their defense has been awful.

I really think it's just fatigue. I noticed it earlier in the season that in the second half Kobe's shot starts to look really flat. There's just no arch or anything on the shot. Then the team just 100% relies on him in the 4th. I really didn't like how Boozer was playing center in the 4th today though. The guy is a consistent liability on defense. Sacre is a better defender. Overall though.. Can't really complain. I don't think this team is as bad as the record makes it seem.

Kyrie Irving was amazing tonight, but if the Cavs lost people would have been getting on him for only having 2 assists.

Who's everyone got as the 8 seed in the west? Looks like Suns, thunder, pelicans, and kings are gonna be the ones battling for it. Maybe even the nuggets... Unless one of the top 7 slips.. Idk man the west is just brutal lol

I sure wasted $60 on ballstreams to catch NBA games... I guess its better then buying League Pass. I just don't have the time to watch games unless they are on tv.

i got league pass for free on my ipad

Jazz s---.. they should be .500 but at this point who knows what happens

here's great Lowry/Thompson pic for lols


these are good too




It looks like Durant is open, but maybe its a bad camera angle...

before i start this...@Sam you've got to be kidding..haha. no way jazz should be .500. they're awful. phoenix last year won 48 and that's close to being .500 and they're LEAGUES above the jazz. no love lost for small markets but you'll understand in the next paragraph.

kings are not competing for the 8th seed. i remember when marc jackson took over for the warriors they improved by 10 wins without a significant talent upgrade and that was considerd really good. other than cousins the kings don't have s---. not a reliable bench. not a legit 2nd or 3rd player. not good shooting. are they improved? yea. but even 10 more wins would be good considering they didn't add significant talent and that's not enough to make the playoffs. are phoenix and N.O. improved? yea. i don't think phoenix, sac, denver, or NO are better than the previous 8 teams who made the playoffs. okc is only 4 games i believe behind them for the 8th seed. i don't think we're gonna see any different teams in the west concerning playoffs...just a different order.

the west is brutal, and that's why im an advocate of changing the playoff system to the best 16 teams in the league. screw conferences. it's not fair to a team like phoenix, a small market team, to get 48 wins last year and miss the playoffs when NY as s-----y as they are can get in with 35. they say even small market teams take in about $1M from a playoff game. you're basically screwing small market teams out of a couple million. i have no doubt the situation will be reversed and the east will be better so this isn't a bash on eastern teams. i honestly can't say i'll watch much eastern conference playoffs this year even though im a huge nba fan.

Do you even watch basketball?

 

Dec 7, 2014

are you halfway intelligent? how many kings games do you watch or go to? guarantee you mine is more. do you happen to catch the full slate of games on sundays at least? doubtful.

since early november the kings have gone 5-13 and could easily be 3-15. their bench is a constant problem, they're the 2nd worst in the league at 3pt %, they don't play defense EVER for 48 mins (they've lost against toronto without their leading scorer and orlando within the last 3 games...both of which were at home). rudy gay is not a star type player. if he was he'd at least be able to put the team on his back and carry them for games while cousins is out. he relies too much on jump shots. so there goes your 2nd legit option. 3 of the kings starters would be bench players on a good team....anything else im missing or do you think you happen to know more about this than i do?

Hey bro I'm really happy for you that you have attended/watched more Kings games than I have. Such an accomplishment shouldn't go unnoticed. If I wanted a meaningless paragraph telling me how the Kings s---, I would have said the Kings s----d. You're basically saying DeMarcus is the only good player on the Kings. That's just ignorant. Rudy Gay is a great player and if you think otherwise then you clearly know nothing of the sport. He's currently averaging 21 6 & 4. Darren Collison 15 & 6. McLemore is obv on the rise. Just because they've declined since the start of the season, doesn't mean everyone else besides dmc sucks. Just stop.
