NBA Basketball

[ke1]

Hm... well they did beat them by 57 in the last meeting.

But in any case, the way I rationalize weird events as today is that at the end of the day, these are professional basketball players. 15 individual players that can affect the game significantly in 15 individual ways. With that said, I wouldn't be so surprised if they were to make a slight turn around and began to win more consistently. Or maybe today was just a day where most of the 15 players played to their professional potentials, and reverse for the Lakers. Just because they were in this ridiculous losing streak people forgot these men still possessed the skills that they do.

If the Cavs start going on another 10+ losing streak, sure this will have been a somewhat embarrassing loss. But if the Cavs were to snap out of their funk, and began to play like a real basketball team with professional level players, like they are, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.

It's still those same professional basketball players that lost 26 games in a row. Bottom line is, there should be no excuse. If Kobe is mad at anyone, he should be mad at himself. He's either (more often than none to his credit) the dynamic all-NBA scorer or the guy who shoots the Lakers out of the game. This is just another prime example of the latter (not to mention Game 7 versus Boston in the Finals which was almost the most costly one).

ramon sessions going off for 32 points was a fluke and probably wont happen again.

Epoc, I'm not sure what the Kobe being mad part is coming from. I haven't heard him get unnecessarily angry at his teammates/coach for some time now.

In any case, yeah Kobe had another inefficient night, but Odom shot the same percentage and Bynum shot even worse with no more than 6 rebounds for either of em, and you almost always expect double doubles from both of them. Artest was pretty much invisible once again.

Kobe's done this for quite some time now. That's no excuse, but it's been working, and it's only now that some of his "supporting cast" is faltering is Kobe being so heavily criticized for it. .

I can't believe people are trying to defend the lakers... the cavs are the worst team in the NBA, there's no other way to play it.

Not robbed but the should have done Co MVPs.

JAMES HARDEN GOING H.A.M.

[Aeroplane]

Blair was straight up trying to win the damn thing. I don't blame him. He probably won't make it back to the All-Star weekend.

In the end just too much Wall and Cousins

[Aeroplane]

Gibson's probably there because the Cavs need something to cheer for.

mistake by the lake

[ke1]

And that was only the first round...

[shanelong]

mcgee "his swag is at a million right now"

[Aeroplane]

g*d d*mn f*cking sh*t...the dunk contest has jumped the shark

[FrugalPlayer]

^ yeah that was all types of stupid. the "prop dunks" are the worst and slows things to a crawl.

[ke1]

less theatrics and more skill please.

Demar's set and Blake Griffin's first dunk were the only ones I really enjoyed. If Blake made that off the board 360 whatnot it would've brought the house down.

[gas prices kill]

derozan got robbed.

wish it woulda came down to derozan vs. griffin

[youonlyliveonce]

do you guys know where i can watch the whole thing? thanks!

[Aeroplane]

^ don't bother

[gas prices kill]

just wait til it's on youtube

overall i feel that the dunk comp was much more entertaining than it has been in the past 2-3 years.

[Aeroplane]

wut

all the good dunks took multiple tries and the winner didn't do shit.

[chantheman]

at least they were trying creative things
