All Purpose NBA Thread I

Just turned it on. Thanks for the heads-up, Chuck.

 

No prob.
The Lakers were getting hammered the whole game. Smush Parker came up big in the 4th quarter. Yao had two great plays in the final minute. A huge block that made it 89-87 LA and the game-tying shot which made it 89-89.
The Rockets deserve to lose this game.

 

And we're going to a 2nd OT.

 

And Smush hits another three, biggest lead for the Lakers 104-99.

 

Kobe hits a tough shot. 108-99.

Houston's turnovers are killing them.

 

And, as you said, Houston will get what they deserve. This has been awful from Houston in the second overtime.

The graphic looked like it said Kobe had 53. That's nice. Sick shot he just made as well.

 

Yeah, this game really showed how Kobe has learned to manage the game. He knows when to go for 50+ and when to go for 20 and 10.

 

Nothing weirder than reading about Smush Parker. I saw him playing in the CBA less than 2 years ago and the only thing that made him famous was his afro.

 

You forgot his name .

 

His name is weird, but his afro was so huge in the CBA that when he was a guest-picker in our football picks we couldn't get his mug shot to fit in the hole.

 

The Knicks played really, really well for much of the second half. Frye and Lee looked really good, Balkman gave good energy off the bench and Curry was dominant on offense (regardless of his inability to play defense). Marbury was excellent as well. Of course, Zeke ran two non-plays at the end of regulation and overtime. I acually think that Lee's bucket shouldn't have counted, as he cupped the ball, rather than tipped it. No Francis and no Nate makes them much better.
