All Purpose NBA Thread I

Um, maybe now Kobe for 3?

 

Nugs will be the 6th seed. Looks like LAL-PHX rematch.

 

If the Nuggets keep playing like this, they'll be the 6th seed for sure. But they still have some tough games coming up.

 

I know the chances of the Lakers winning their first-round series are slim, if I had my choice, I'd actually rather play the Suns than the Spurs.
The Spurs are just too big inside for the Lakers to even CONTEMPLATE beating.
At least with the Suns, there's some confidence from last year's playoffs. And, if their shooters have a bad night ...

Granted, a lot of "ifs" need to go their way, but I think there's only 25 "ifs" with playing Phoenix compared to the 50 they'd need to beat the Spurs.

 

Impressive line for Mr. He's-Better-Than-Jordan:

Bryant 9-30 4-5 23

 

I agree. PHX is a better matchup for the Lakers.

Chuck, it's going to be tough for LAL to catch DEN now, but you never know. Honestly, if they lose to LAC this week, they could fall to 8th.

Man, this is a crazy finish to the season.

 

At least I didn't have to say it.

You might also want to add missed potential game-tying 3 at the end of the game.

Ok, ok. That was excessive.

 

I don't think he's better than Jordan, but comparing him to Jordan off of one game?

 

No, I just meant his sub-33% FGA was bad, I didn't mean the entire MJ comparison.

 

23 points, 10 assists. Sounds like a Steve Nash game Rok.

 

It does, until you get to the 9-30. That's why I was harping on Nash's efficiency the other day. Kobe is more of a 'volume shooter' type of guy, whereas Nash is just incredibly efficient with his shot selection.

You won't find many games where Nash shoots less than 33%. Heck, you won't find many games where he shoots less than 40%. He's an unbelievable shooter. So is Kobe, but Nash is much more efficient with his shots.

 

Shoot, I forgot why I came here in the first place.

GSW aren't ready to give up their playoff dreams. They are destroying Utah by 30 tonight.
