[Eric Cartman]

joey crawford didn't call that clear path

[mugiwara]

Steve Blake can throw a damn nice lob

I had no idea

steve blake and rudy fernandez has some nice ones for the blazers.

[no pun intended]

Nice flop Caldwell-Pope.

[Rake2204]

This has been a fun one so far.

Man Blake has like 3 alley oop passes tonight to Wesley Johnson. Dude can get up

[AirTupac]

I am loving Wes Johnson this season. What a pick up. Dude can play defence and hustle.

I like his defense at the 3. He had some nice d there against Josh Smith in the post.

You know, I've hated the Pistons with a fiery hatred since 2004 for what they did to the Lakers. I've loved laughing at them sucking the last few years.

...but now? They're becoming likable. In fact, if they got rid of Stuckey and Wil Bynum, I might actually root for them to win some games. They have some cool players.

The times, they are a changing.

[MVBallin2K]

Never change Joey Crawford in calling horrible fouls just to get your attention for the game.

[Noof]

If you want to draw a foul, just jump on someone's back

Lanky, fast, hustles. When he's got confidence he's got a decent shot as well. He's been one of my favorite players this season. Nick Young is slowly going back up on my list since he's been killing it off the bench.

Wes Johnson
Steve Blake
Jordan Hill
Xavier Henry
Nick Young

I don't get it. Lakers are trying to win games with that roster?

Much smarter to tank away the year, this is not a good year to overachieve.

It's a good thing for the Lakers too once Kobe comes back, Young will be accustomed to scoring loads of points off the bench. Wesley will fit that Trevor Ariza mold starting at the 3.

They're hopeful that Kobe will come back and be able to help lead them into the Playoffs while relying on free agency to maybe bring someone in with a ton of space. I kind of like it, I know it's not smart but I truly hate the idea of tanking. The idea of losing on purpose really just sinks a bad feeling into me so I love the idea of an underdog team playing with heart. There's a ton of other teams probably trying to tank anyways so why not try?
