Big 3 by Kobe, finally going into Mamba mode.

I'm talking about it because I'm watching the game, just like I watched the Thunder game the other night and thought it was retarded for him to lose his cool like that with the way things are going right now for LA. He threw the stuff in plain sight and easily could've picked up number 16. I think Kobe is smart enough that he knows what he's doing there.

Spurs B team is ballin right now.

You really think what Kobe did was necessary? Looked to me like he was trying to get tossed, maybe I'm wrong.

What does LeBron have to do with any of this?

Thanks for acting like a child there Kobe.

The Lakers won't reach the Western Conference Finals.

Wow. Not good for the WWE. Who do you guys think gets a World Title push now? Is it gonna be Del Rio by default?

I'm gonna go Packers vs. Jets. Green Bay is going to be even better with a healthy Finley and Grant on offense and I think the Jets finally break through and reach the SB.

Am I the only one who thought Charlie set a screen and then Hollins wouldn't let him go? Or am I wrong?

Boston in 5. Just not enough defense from the Knicks. I think Melo and Amare are good enough for them to win a game at home but Boston should go right into playoff mode.

They got pushed to OT?!

Lol, poor Cavs.

Almost blew it there at the end due to the fatigue from yesterday's game but we were able to grind it out and get the W. Now a win against Toronto will get us that 2 seed and a first round matchup against Philly.

LaMarcus Aldridge or Zach Randolph.

I think it'll be Miami or Boston if they beat us in the second round. I just think having Wade and LeBron in playoff mode will be tough to beat in a 7 game series. LeBron seems more focused this year than I've ever seen him and we all know what Wade can do in a playoff setting.

Last time we played in ATL we absolutely killed them and with a chance to lock up the second seed I don't see us coming out slow.

Losing streak up to 5 for the Lakers. Big win for OKC as it evens them up in the loss column with Dallas.

Durant looks strong early on.

I see Gasol taught Kobe to moan when there's minimal contact to get a call.

Go Thunder

Ok here are my thoughts from the game. - Very nice job fighting back after Boston jumped out to that early lead. Especially when you consider Bosh got 2 early fouls and Bibby missed 3 open looks that he'll usually nail. - Loved LeBron reacting after the foul by Jermaine. That was mostly just frustration building up lately especially after the Mo Evans play where he could've reacted way worse. Lol @ Jermaine putting on a Celtic jersey and thinking he's some badass now. Also liked Wade not letting that push by Pierce go unnoticed. - The role players stepped up today. Joel Anthony was awesome on the glass today and had some nice blocks. He defended KG as well as you could ask him. James Jones hit some big shots and Bibby did as well. The best job though was done by Mario Chalmers. He didn't back down and he stayed in control today which was huge for us. The play where he fouled KG, knocked him over and he stood over KG said a lot about how far he's come. He would've never done that his first 2 seasons. - Dwyane Wade's off ball defense was spectacular today. Seeing him get around screens and chase Allen around was something else. That might've been the best effort I've ever seen Dwyane put forth on defense. - We closed out the game and that was very good to see even after Boston made their run to cut it to 9. Bibby hits a huge 3 and we never looked back. LeBron hit some big shots down the stretch as well. - Finally, the atmosphere. The Triple A was awesome today and maybe the loudest its been all year.

Philly fans, how would you guys rate Danys Baez's performance so far this season? His stats look terrific and I saw he got the W on opening day and is yet to allow an earned run. He's a close family friend of mine so its always great to see him do well.

I think anything more than 7 years is way too long for a guaranteed teacher contract because then you have some that will slip back into having too much job security that they'll begin to slack and not have that same performance they had when they knew their ass was on the line. That does sound like a great way to do things though.
