Lakers sticking it to the Clips, 104-85, in the 4th.

EDIT: Final score, 108-95.

Lakers squeak by the Thunder, 90-87.

another impressive win for this team, and something they must've said or thought to turn this ship around. The true test is how they can keep this up, on a winning note, but wins like this one, and the other night in Utah, might make us believers again that they really have what it takes to go for the third championship in a row.
Anyhow, good luck to the Lakers on the quest, as inconsistent as they have been this season....and even Ron Ron scored in double figures(10pts).

Regarding the Celts' trade, I don't really like it because I don't think it made the team better. Perk probably wouldn't have been here next year, but he still would've provided good defense this year. Now we have to rely on Shaq & O'neal to play center. :sweat:

^^ Krstic isn't a bad player on the offensive end, scored over 16 pints/game for the Nets one year, plus he does stay healthy which is another plus but they have enough scorers already, he's not nearly as good as Perkins is on the boards or playing defense. Green was also another player they didn't need, :shakehead: Pierce is still playing at a high level, losing Robinson could hurt if Rondo gets hurt again. :sweat:

Knicks and 'Melo top the Heat, 91-86.

Always nice to see the Heat lose. :twisted:

i watched some of that game, and to see the Knicks make that come-back before half was impressive. I think they can match up with them well, and that stuffed shot by lebron was so nice, as they fell. Any Miami loss is a good one! :applaud:

^ Yeah, seeing LeBron get rejected had to be the icing on the cake. :applaud:

Only the Clippers :shakehead: :http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/The-Clippers-celebrate-Black-History-Month-in-th?urn=nba-327470

Saw that ad in the Times yesterday... Donald Sterling is an idiot beyond compare. :shakehead:

When they signed West, they showed that they didn't like/want Nate as Rondo's backup. Since Nate Robinson has been struggling this year, a lot of people jumped off his bandwagon.

Lakers beat the T-Wolves, 90-79.

Heat have been cooling off lately :doh: as they get beat at home by the Magic 99-96 despite being up by 18 at the half! :hehe: Think the big 3 may be wearing down from having to play 40+ minutes a game plus their bench got outscored 34-11.

Good news from Miami. :victory: :applaud:

Yup and if they don't turn it around they could go from being the #1 seed last week all the way down to the 4th seed, :naughty: Magic are only 3 behind them now for the division and the Bulls are only 1 behind them now, Bulls have certainly crept up there very quietly.

Celts beat Golden State, 107-103. For the second straight game, they blew a hug lead. :sweat: But a win is a win.

^^ Blowing leads because their defense now isn't as good, plus the key starters are all playing 35+ minutes a game, they're gonna need a break before the playoffs start. :sweat: Meanwhile the Cavs have won only 4 games in almost the last 3 months, 3 of them against the Knicks as they win in MSG 119-115, :victory: glad to see that big trade which depleted their bench has worked out as they once again fold in the 4th. :woot:

San Antonio really opened a can of whoop a** on Miami, winning 125-95. The only thing better than seeing Miami lose is seeing them lose by 30. :woot:

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... :rofl:

The trifecta would've been if they had gotten trounced in Miami. :mrgreen:

Lakers top the Bobcats, 92-84, for their sixth straight win.

Next up: The Spurs at San Antonio on Sunday. :sweat:
