I think it's officially time to start worrying. Fortunately, with the exception of EG's Suns, everybody out west has been in a funk. I think Denver is something like 6-6 over their last 12. Nobody has taken advantage of the Lakers' struggles.

I like the Suns, just wish they would go back to their old "classic" jersys.

Ahh, those were the days. Short pants and no tatoos. >> nostalgia buzz <<

Nice pic, wish all the players would go to back to real shorts and no tattoos...and no guns, :usuck: Stockton may have been the end of an era. :shamefulcry:

Nuggets should have been 5-7, after being down 20+ points in the first half to the Clippers... But alas, they were playing the Clippers, who managed to find yet another way to lose. :shakehead:

Duke beats Cinderella Butler for the NCAA crown, 61-59.

That was a good ending to that game. Going into the game I thought Butler would be able to win, but they had that like six minute drought without a FG in the the second half that really did them in.

Duke had too many second chance opportunities and that cost Butler in the end.

Duke only had like 2 more rebounds that Butler, so both had their second chance opportunities. I think Butler had more offensive rebounds.

I thought so too, but I checked the stats and both teams had 10 offensive rebounds. Butler only shot 32.8% from the field which is probably what killed them.

Hmm, it didn't seem like it... But the Bulldogs couldn't hit an outside shot, either. :sweat:

Nothing serious I read, but he's supposed to miss the reat of the season, only a few games left though. Kobe sat out again, but Gasol is on such a major roll :victory: that they can probably pull a James and sit Kobe the rest of the way. :doh:

They just might since the Lakers have wrapped up the home court in the West.

He's fairly banged up too, plus a few games like that from Gasol and I have a chance for 1st in my work's fantasy league, :victory: would be running away with it if her didn't get hurt earlier in the year. :shamefulcry:
