Basketball (NBA, College, etc.)

Denver schools the Lakes big time, 117-96. :banghead:

That's seven straight losses. :bleh:


Here's a trivia question: when was the last time the Clippers had a better record than the Lakers? :bleh:

not sure when it was, but i know that they have a very small chance this season, but the way the clips are playing, they are just as bad if not worse than the lakers. Both are lottery bound teams that will probably miss the playoffs. Denver is too tough and Minnesota and Memphis are ahead of them and playing better than the LA teams. :beaten: :shakehead:

If memory serves, the Clips have NEVER had a better record than the Lakers.

Until this season, maybe. :bleh:



Saw this in the paper: who's the youngest player in NBA history to score 60 or more points in a game?

Holy crap! D-Fish buzzer beater in OT!!!! Damn that was an awesome game. I was heca jumping up and down at the gym when I saw the shot. Fisher is so damn clutch. Only 5pts on 2-6 shooting but he nails the big shot and that's what counts! :woot: :woot: :woot:

Just like he did for the Lakes last season against the Spurs. :D

Yea Fisher is awesome. I have no idea how he does it too. From the look of the play, it seemed like J-Rich was trying to draw a foul while shooting the 3 to win the game but the refs didn't call it so he threw it out to Fisher who was about 4 feet back from the 3pt line and he knocks it down like nothing. I used to curse at his clutch shooting too. Now it helps me :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :dancing:

dang, heard about it too, my friend was listening to it on the radio and told me about it, talk about clutch shot at the buzzer. i thought for sure the Warriors were headed for an "L", good thing they won it in OT. J-Rich and B. Davis had good games. :bonk: :applaud:

Clips won 98-94, now i think they are only 1/2 game behind the Lakers, the lakers might fall even more in the standings at this rate. But i doubt that either one of them will make it to the playoffs.

in other games Phoenix falls to Heat, and the Sonics win in their game, behind Ray Allen's 40pts. :bonk: :hehe:

I think there's more than a doubt, Q.

The only thing on everyone's mind here in L.A. is will the Clips have a better record than the Lakes at the end...

yeap.
anyways, the shaq-attack lost his bite and the heat lost tonight as Wade misses a three pt'r, for some reason, i just don't like the heat that much, granted they are a good team with mr. shaq-missing freethrow king, also thanks to the athletic dwayne wade, maybe because i don't care for Shaq that much either. I am so glad that they lost one, since they kicked Sun's butt the other night, btw: suns won tonight by two pts. :sweat: :bonk:

Denver is rolling....
Lakers as we know are slipping, not much i can say for the clips, but they won 3 straight.
George Karl is 22-5 since joining as coach of Denver as they win 115-99 against the kings, who are slipping themselves. Also, Minnesota won tonight as Sam Cassell goes for 23 pts at 10 of 13 shooting from the field.

Good. :applaud: :woot:

god this has got to go down as one of the best elite eights in rececnt memory, except i was on the recieving end of it :beaten: , louivile came from 20 down to be west virginina (gotta rep West's former alma :hehe: ), and Zona droped 15 in just over 4 min to lose to illinios :banghead:. oh and yeah i'm pretty sure the clips have never had a better record than the lakers since moving to la. the lakers just need to tank even more and drop the rest of their games. end the season on like a 0-15 slide so that we can grap a top 10 pick. the draft doesn't seem to be very loaded this year (maybe it is but i haven't been following college really so i wouldn't know), but the lakers usually seem to draft well when they get a high pick. remember '80-'81 when we got the #1 two years running, all i can say is....SHOWTIME!!!! (we drafted magic and worthy :bow:)

With Arizona losing and Duke falling out in the sweet 16, I officially have ZERO teams in the final four! Damn my brackets are so dead. *sigh* Oh well, still some great games to watch :D I'm liking the Ilini right now ^_^

I'll be attending my first NBA tonight as the W's take on the Knicks. They are also honoring the '75 championship team. I think it'll be fun.

Cool, that's great! I really should buy some tickets to see BD and the gang too :mrgreen: Have fun and hope they win! :woot:

I hope so too. I just read that the Warriors are officially mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. But the Knicks, with four more wins are still in the hunt. But it should be an entertaining game.

Yea but oh well. I hate the Knicks so hopefully the W's will spoil their chances :hehe:

Me too. On both counts.

The Knicks play the Lakes tomorrow and I expect some major booing from the crowd. The season's a train wreck.
