Well damn, the Blazers could have had 8th seed to themselves with a win over the Hornets yesterday but failed. It was aweful. Damon was 1 for 9 and DA was 2 for 16 (total of 3 for 25). Zach Randolph and D Miles were the only two that played well. Theo didn't have his dominating defense either but still 3 blocks.
But today, SPURS BEAT LAKERS! YAY! Kings are #1 again with 1/2 game lead. T-Wolves won as well against Memphis who have been playing very well.
Lakesr played like absolute crap....good job to SA for throwing them off their game.
Whoever said the East stand a "slight" chance...get real. The East has NO chance against the West. Indiana's record came with little to no injuries during the season and they play all of their games in the east. Other than 3 teams, there aren't any teams in the East with winning record. Hell, the Lakers and Grizzlies are both 26+ and 4 each against the East. I'd say the Pistons have the best shot against the West, but their lack of truly talented guards will kill them in the end.
The Kings are playing like crap and will probably lose their 1/2 game lead over the Lakers by the end of this week...(just a hunch)
HA HA HA HA!!!! YESSS!!!! The Blazers beat the Lakers today! Pretty easily too. They led the entire game. Why have the Blazers always been able to beat good teams but lose to shitty ones? On this final stretch we lose to the Knicks and Hornets (lacking Baron/Jamal) yet we beat the Lakers pretty easily? I just don't get it. But I'm happy for now.
honestly it's an embarassment that more teams don't play like the Trailblazers did last night. All 5 of their players hauled ass up and down the court with every Laker miss. The Lakers played NO transition defense and got scorched. I would expect that level of intensity from all professional athletes. especially for millions of dollars a year...
