Chicago beats Denver 110-107 in Denver.

Does anybody even care about either of those teams?

The reserves for the All-Star game was named. But hell, 4 guys from the Detroit Pistons will be in the lineup for the east

Well, I think Ben Wallace and Chauncey Billups deserve a spot at the east all-star lineup. But the other 2.......a big question mark

Yeah, it does.

Just an odd score to post.

Warriors beat the Cav's 99-91, B. Davis goes out in late in the 1st qtr with a sprain ankle , let's just hope he returns after a quick recovery, cause Troy Murphy has been out the previous 2 games with a sprain ankle also.

Detroit Pistons are slipping...a losing streak for them, about as rare as.....the lakers winning streaks...

Hehe....the Lakers should start winning now to keep the Utah Jazz away from taking the 8th spot . You don't wanna end up in a situation where you are the one who is fighting for a spot at the playoffs.

It was expected that they couldn't keep up the pace they were setting... Better to have a slump now than at the end of the season...

yeah, doubt that they could keep up the pace with the Bull's in the 90's when they had the 72-10 record, which i believe they won it that year.

They did.

And you can thank expansion for some of that.


Surprisingly, even though they won all those games they never did match that 33-game winning streak of the 71-72 Lakers... Those guys went two-plus months without losing a game... And they had to play East teams like the Celtics like, six times...

Amazing.

Speaking of the Lakers, they won against the Utah Jazz 94-88

Kobe's shooting percentage is down....and he didn't score his usual points, maybe in some way, that is a good thing, having the others step up for a change...

Teams finally wised up and started doubling on Kobe that's why... Yeah, it can only help the team I think, but maybe not in the win column, short term.
