Sounds like the Lakers.

Kobe's back, but they still lose to the Cavs, 103-89.

another "L" for the warriors...... :beaten: :shakehead:
this season is lottery bound, hopefully they can get a good pick this year and restructure or just somehow find ways to win more next season. :shamefulcry:

Suns beat Utah 136-128, Nash has 19pts and 18 assists. Stoudemire has 42pts. :beatyou: :applaud:

Yow, that's what I call a shootout...

Uncle Cliffy is now gone. At least he'll have a better chance at a ring with the Nets than here :sweat:

Team records are through Feb. 14.

THE HIGH FIVE

1. San Antonio Spurs (40-12) – Despite their loss in Miami on Sunday, the Spurs still ended the day with a share of the NBA's best record. The only question for San Antonio is whether it will get bored. Thirty more games until the playoffs – here come the dog days.

2. Phoenix Suns (41-12) – The Suns are 29 games over .500 after Monday's win at home over Utah. Walter McCarty should give their thin bench a boost down the stretch.

3. Miami Heat (39-14) – The Heat have won nine of 10 and are playing their best ball of the season, according to coach Stan Van Gundy. The win over the Spurs was a big confidence booster for a team that hadn't had much success against the West.

4. Seattle SuperSonics (35-13) – An almost perfect week was tarnished by a home loss to Dallas on Sunday, but the Sonics have answered the critics who claimed their success wouldn't last. Nick Collison, Reggie Evans and Danny Fortson are the Sonics' version of the Redskins' old offensive line, "The Hogs." They're scrappy, mean and tough.

5. Dallas Mavericks (33-16) – The Mavericks are enjoying great play from Jason Terry. His game-winning three-point play beat the Kings in Sacramento on Friday. Meanwhile, Dirk Nowitzki is simply being Dirk.


THE LOW FIVE

26. New York Knicks (20-32) – The Knicks shot 61 percent against the Kings last week and lost despite having a seven-point lead with under a minute to play. New York is finding a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

27. Golden State Warriors (14-37) – The playoffs won't be the same this year without Derek Fisher. His nickname may as well have been "Mr. June."

28. Charlotte Bobcats (10-39) – The Bobcats have lost 18 of their last 20 games. When is the draft?

29. Atlanta Hawks (10-39) – The Hawks continue to rappel down the cliff of NBA futility.

30. New Orleans Hornets (11-41) – At least the Hornets have inched their way back to semi-respectability. They reached double digits in wins by beating Golden State last Friday.

clips continue their losing streak, this time a loss against the heat. :beaten:
Warriors break their losing streak and get a win against the Sonics 117-110. J. Richardson scores 30 points and D. Fisher scores 21. A great game for them as they hung on to their lead and closed out with a victory. :dancing: :applaud:

THEY WON! On national TV too! :applaud: :applaud: :woot:

Of course they won.

I wasn't able to watch.

so that's the reason :hehe: :hehe: :hehe:

Dang! I may never be allowed to watch the Warriors again!

I wonder if that's a good or a bad thing?

If they go on a tear and win like 20 straight and make the playoffs and win it all then I'll give you my whole jdrama collection :mrgreen:

D-Fish! :applaud: :woot:

Timberwolves, hang on to win 94-88 against the Cav's. KG had 18pts and 20 rebounds, and 6 assists in that game. those are mvp type numbers, although Lebron had a good game too. :bonk:

Mav's beat the Suns 119-113, have to say, mav's look good and have a deeper bench than the Suns. Suns look weak at times and lack the depth of reserves, lack interior defense, and offensive rebounding. But all in all, they are still very exciting to watch, too bad they lost tonight. :grumble:

i thought suns will dominate the all-strar today......
but when i saw stoudamire in the dunk category....

i think if it wasn't for the toss made by nash........ amare won't even reach in the finals :sweat:
he seems to be in soccer stuffs..........

watched the 3pt contest and dunk contest.
first the threept, i thought it started out weak, those guys weren't hitting the three's that well, the scoring was on the low end, but 2nd round was better, thought there would be a third round, guess it is decided after second round. Quentin sank the last nine shots to take it.

The dunk contest, all have to say is that guy who won it, major hang time and he deserved to win it, amazing. Although i have to say that Nash off the head bounce and stoudemire dunk was quite spectacular and brought the house down. :bonk: :victory:

yeah, represent, that young dude, he sure can fly and has major hops. Stoudemire doesn't have the hang time the other guy had, think his name was josh smith or something like that...

dominque, only one like him, his nickname...."The Human Highlight Film" and that he was back in the day. He sure brought the dunks and had some highlights to show for it. :applaud:

remember the one where the guy was sitting in the chair and tossed it up for Josh smith to bring it down, i wouldn't want to be sitting in that chair, even though i know that Josh could fly over with no problem.

yeah, something else, Vince, Josh, and Kobe going head to head in your face! :sweat: :beatyou:
