    I don't think anyone wants to see MEM in the playoffs. OKC was just EXPOSED. Horrible late game execution and garbage offense when KD and RW are shut down. Harden's absence hasn't been felt this much all season.

    Man that last win was impressive but the win streak doesn't matter to me, it'll probably end before 33 and there's no reason to worry about it imo. Save some energy for the playoffs.

    By the way LeBron is having the most efficient season adjusted for usage rate, that I can ever recall.

    Don't you spend the same amount of energy if not more in losses? The best way to save energy is to blow teams out?

    Playing defense depends on the amount of rest and depth you have though. When you play this many games in March I think you need to take play soft or forget the streak.

    The homerun play is to play with minimal effort and win big. The Heat take it easy against weak teams thinking they'll blow them out anyway. They don't play defense until crunch time whereas better teams get their attention sooner, looking at the margin of victory. The Heat are not the Spurs they have to conserve their energy since their bench has Norris Cole, Haslem, etc.

    Those are the kinds of losses the Lakers can't necessarily afford now.

    How fucking stupid was that of Wall to make that last free throw. Kobe damn near made him pay.

    What if he misses and the Lakers hit a full court shot to win it? You have to make the free-throw.

    No way. A tie does you no good. If that games goes to OT there is no way WA wins it. 1.5 seconds left and no timeouts.....miss the second and there is no shot at the basket. By making the free throw they gave the Lakers time to make a full court pass to Kobe AND Kobe enough time to get a decent shot off. Just miss the second free throw and all you have is time to rebound and a throw down court. Not a real shot. A basket for a tie = a win for the Lakers

    Please. If Washington could come back from 18 down then they we certainly good enough to win an overtime perio.

    If we beat OKC and Dallas beats Utah, There will be three way tie for 9th at 34-36. We have two games coming up against at Utah. And Dallas comes to Rose Garden.

    You let the home team go the length of the floor in 1.5 seconds with no timeouts and your money is on the road team in OT? I will take that bet every time. I would be pissed if the Blazers did that. You don't play for the tie when you are an underdog on the road. Unless you are the team that is down.
