Yeah, it's really gonna be a tough game and a win for the Nets on tuesday is uncertain. Anyway, anything is possible :mrgreen: . Same goes for the Warriors.

As for the Clippers, I think they are safe at the 6th place. They just need to win some games to secure a spot in the playoffs. The Lakers are the ones in trouble because the Timberwolves just entered the 8th spot and are knocking the door for the 7th, which happens to be the Lakers' current spot. We all know what Garnett and his gang are capable of :sweat:

i think the way the Clips are playing, they need to get Magguette back, and to play more consistantly and close out the close games with opponents. Lakers, well they always have Kobe, but they lack team unity, hopefully they can turn it around and play better. Warriors, they need artest, or some in your face tough type player in the interior, and will, i think it is obvious what they lack, i hope the best for them, and it is always good when they manage a "W". Garnet is tough, one of the most versatile and dangerous power forwards in the league.

Lakers beat Toronto and this is NOT a typo: Kobe scores 81points :shocked: Some people are going to complain about him shooting too much, but when Kwame and Odom go a combined 2-12, what the hell else is he supposed to do!

Ho-leeeee......!!! :bonk: :bonk:

Last I checked, it was a close game... And they won by 18 points??

that is amazing, considering some teams struggle to score that.... and yet Kobe does it by himself.

Sonics beat Phoenix in double OT, 152-149 :bonk:

:wow:

With that performance, Kobe made history by squeezing in to the second place to the Chamberlain-dominated category :mrgreen: .

The dude scored 55 points in the second half alone... :sweat:

He was hitting fallaways, fadeaways, treys, reverse layups, everything... Incredible.

It was nice that they won the game too... ;)

The 51 he dropped on the Kings meant nothing since they lost. :bleh:

and that's why they're the LA Kobe's. :hehe:

Yeah, winning a game is the best result than an individual accomplishment :mrgreen: .

:lol: :hehe:

Kobe actually had some assists in the game as well.

those were accidental. :hehe:

I wonder what the huddles were like...after Kobe scored 65....

Actually, if you read the Times today, PJ was a little bothered by the lack of consistent ball distribution....

To say that I'm disappointed to see the Warriors blow a 19 point lead and lose to the Clippers would be an understatement. :shakehead:

WOW........how do you blow a 19 point lead :shakehead: :shakehead:

Hope for the Warriors sake, it won't happen again.

warriors let one go, and the clips capitalized on it. :bonk:

Ron Artest trade off with the Kings. Too bad for the Kings. :shakehead: They would've traded for Peja Stochovich.

the next day...they trade actually happens, sending Peja to Indiana Pacers and Artest to Sacramento Kings. This should be interesting, too bad the Warrior didn't trade for Artest, they could have used his interior defense and offense help.

Stojakovic will be a great help for Indiana Pacers. Since the retirement of Reggie Miller, they have been struggling on shooting from beyond the arc and Peja can somehow fill the shoes left by Miller :thumbsup: . As for the Sacramento Kings, added toughness for their lineup, meaning added headache for Rick Adelman :hehe: . Imagine Ron Artest playing along with Bonzi Wells. Pistons, meet the new bad boys in town, the Kings :beaten:
