NBA discussion thread

Manu Ginobili is out for the rest of the season. So much for the Spurs challenging us.

Took this from ESPN.com,

"Interesting scenario: If the Lakers have no shot at the NBA's best record in their final game of the season at home to Utah, do they let the Jazz have the game to make sure Dallas winds up eighth? We're guessing yes."

yep there goes their season, besides, I think the Lakers would've swept them anyway

Lakers vs Kings tonite

Speedy recovery to Manu

finally playing at a later time, now i can get high and watch

Orlando lose.

The offense was horrible. Missing shots left and right. Doesn't help that Houston's D was all over them.

Defense wasn't much better. They couldn't stop attacks to the basket and they constantly left guys open.

Houston dismantled Orlando. A pitiful game to watch if your a Magic fan. The Rockets are one of those teams that Orlando doesn't match up well against.

If the Magic make it to the finals, I surely hope they don't have to face the Rockets.

Lakers win 122-104 😊

Led by Pau's 26 points(11-16), Kobe and crew exceptional. Bench mob had 42 points. Luke was awesome tonite. Shannon had nine points and it was great to see Sasha make some shots including a slam dunk. woot

I'll see the highlights my friend

Orlando win, 81-78 over Memphis.

Struggled all game. The Magic looked tired. Couldn't stop the Grizzlies young fast paced offense in the first half. Seemed like the Grizzlies couldn't miss.

After struggling all game (down by 8 going into the fourth), the Magic came alive.

Turkoglu came to play. He scored 20.

Dwight had another double double. 14 points, 13 rebounds. Not a monster game, but still got some key rebounds.

Everyone produced, however, only Turk and Dwight had double figures. Lue and Redick made some nod worthy plays.

The Grizzlies have the majority in the record against Orlando, so this is a big win regardless of team records. Hell, every win towards the close of the season is big.

A good game, a little too close for my liking though.

Blazers finally get a good road victory versus the West playoff teams. 3 way tie for 3rd (though we are currently seeded 5th). Oh, and 50 wins! I would love it if we got home court advantage. At this point, the last thing I want is facing the Rockets without home court advantage.

Lakers vs Denver tomorrow

Return of Andrew Bynum 😊

Lakers win 116-102 😊

Return of Andrew 16 and 7. Kobe had 33 points, Pau had 27 and 19 boards. Strong bench play. Shannon played terrific defense on Chauncey

Glad they won darling

Kobe, Pau and Andrew were amazing

Bynum was better than expected for his first game back. Love that Phil has implemented Shannon Brown into the rotation. Now it seems that Mbenga, Powell, and Morrison are out. Glad to see most everybody play.

Andrew was incredible. Shannon is a good defender. Big and strong

Lakers vs Portland. Establish the inside and lets play some good defense. Don't leave shooters, crash the glass and lets go bench

Orlando lose.

Just awful performances in the past four games.

They apparently used up all their juice in that Cleveland game and have since played sluggish, sloppy and without passion.

The only thing they've managed to do well and consistently is piss me off.

Lakers lose 🙁

Didn't play the last minute well. Hoisting 3's when ur only down 3. Not good offense play calling. Pau had nine shots the whole game. Cannot go away from Pal Gasol. Fisher and Farmar are playing poor the last two games. Bright spot again was the play of Shannon Brown

2 games left at home. Memphis on Sunday
