I wonder who let Afflalo burn the Lakers with 30 points? Hmmm......
Lakers lose again!
^ I don't mean to be the grammar police, but there's no need for an exclamation point... lakers sucking nuts is not even news these days.
^lol at that
Well who is kobe blaming today?
Wonder if the Miami fan base wants their coach fired after that Washington loss, LOL.
They loss to the Wizards at home 3x in a row. I doubt anyone even cares. They are a lock for the Finals anyway. The Heat have literally not been trying until the 4th quarter for the past five or so games.
The definition of coasting.

I'm sure Heat Sam or 164-0 care. 
^ I see what you did there 
Watching the laker channel right now and they seem more obsessed with kobe getting to 30,000 than actually winning the game.
Just keep shooting, snake-boy.

Lol congrats to Kobe for reaching the 30k mark. Definitely the greatest chucker of all time.
He was great in his prime, now he's just an OVERRATED chucker.
Actually he's having a very good season so far, best over all in the last 4+ years.

^ he is. but for how long? his knees are going to be worn by game 50 at this rate.
It's crazy to think where KD and LeBron will end up on the All-time scoring list. I think KD will be the greatest scorer in NBA history, actually that all depends on Westbrook.
Don't know, but he looks in better physical shape too. He going to the rim more it seems.
^ that may be, but the amount of minutes he plays and the shots he takes will take a toll on him. after all, hes played more than 50,000 minutes in his career

He has never shot even close to this efficiently in his entire career so his efficiency will crash soon enough. He is largely putting up empty stats that don't amount to wins and he has been a net negative on the defensive end.
Its disgusting he has won so many all defensive awards. He hasn't deserved any since 05.

Still, like I said, he's having a very good season SO FAR. We'll see if it can continue like this all season soon enough. By the way look at his ws/48 and PER, best in a while.
You know my friend is a laker fan and he just txted me a pic of Kobe with a 30k on it, and I'm thinking: OH Yeah? How many wins do they have this season with him just piling on the points?
Have your friend read this and watch as his head explodes, LOL:

No doubt. Offensively Kobe is actually having a career high in terms of efficiency.
Knicks blew out the Heat at home without Melo, Amare, Shumpert. 
Two blow out games against the Heat. My Knicks are for real this season.
^^^I'm not sure yet about the Knicks, but I know this. I feel better about out losing streak now that the champs have lost to the Wiz and the Melo-less Knicks.
^the Knicks are for real.
Its amazing Knicks can play Novak big mins
Knicks are the Clippers of the East IMO, except they didn't go on a losing skid to put them from 1 to #4. That's why I love that this is a long season.
Snake-boy trying to singlehandedly flop his way to a win in OKC... first time I've ever seen two
flops on the same play, actually... but Russell Westbrook is having none of it.
Raining 3's all over the place... 27 points in a half for him, 18 for Durant and 67 for
the team 
Aren't kobe, Mental W.P. and Coward supposed to be all-NBA defenders?
Still, I'm sure getting Nash back will help in that department 
^its enjoyable to watch lol
It's too bad those damn Warriors haven't started losing yet.
^ It'll happen. It always does.
The warriors are better than people think, their going to hang around. They've really improved their rebounding and defense this year.
^ Maybe, but I'd sooner put my money on a dog not licking his balls than on the dubs finishing above us.
^never said they'd finish above us, just that their better than most people think and beating us gave them a lot of confinance. Let's see what happens when we meet again in Jan for 3 games.
Their not an easy beat anymore.
The GSW have always been a good team on paper. Its just that they could never stay healthy. So their success is no surprise to me.
Regardless their W/L actually overstates how good they are. Their point differential is very small and their defense and offense is pretty middle of the pack.
They are a bottom end playoff team.
^their defense maybe middle of the pack, but from where they we're ranked last year (27th) to 15th so far this season is a huge jump...plus they've been rebounding (ranked 8th so far) at almost 8 per game better than last year. Too bad they haven't had their center on the court for long either.
They have a guy that's turning out to be a good coach too.

Really the West atm is:
Spurs
OKC
Clippers
Grizzlies
Lakers
big gap
Rest of the West.
Even with Bogut I don't ever see them getting higher than the 6th seed.
Keep in mind that their record is overstated since they had a lot of close games which they won and faced relatively weak competition.
They have an SRS(Simple rating system) of 1 while the OKC, Spurs, Clippers, Grizzlies have an SRS of over 8.
At best 6th seed. At worst barely missing the playoffs.
^not debating whether they can break into the top team category in the West this year, just saying this team is better than you think and getting better with each game. Their future looks good.
By the way their in the top 10 in SOS so far this season.

Their not an easy beat anymore.
yup i agree. especially with the healthy steph curry. plus david lee is balling. and their bench is stacked with landry and jack leading the pack.
Durant 5-18 with Paul George on him. Paul George is a beast defender.
Must have gotten better real fast, cause Kevin lit him up the last 2 times they met, lol.

Well George got a lot taller so he matches up better now and who doesn't get lit up by Durant? Especially if he was hot that day.
Best offense when hot>>>any defense.

Oh, ok.
The Flakers loss to the Jazz. Im happy 
Phoenix Suns fans are stoked right now, they might get 2 lottery picks this year because that's right where the Lakers are headed.
Lin just dropped 32 points in 15 shots on the Spurs.
Game not done yet too.
Hopefully the Rockets win. Also beat Okc while they are at it.
Bleh the Rockets took Lin out and they loss their 10 point lead in like 2 minutes. 
Mchale is a horrendous coach.
Take out the hot hand and watch the offense get stagnant and take it to OT.
Vinny would never do something so stupid.
Rockets-Spurs going into OT
LOL Rockets blew it, they couldn't do us a solid.
They blew it because they took out the guy who was doing all the scoring. Then they didn't score for like 3 minutes straight. Mchale is absolute garbage. As a Knicks fan I feel bad for Lin. He gets treated like a D league scrub on that team.
They also lost cause Harden didn't play.
Oh and GSW won again and are now 8-4 on the road. Don't think their going to go away....here's hoping they finish ahead of the Lakers.
We just have to keep winning we are not catching any breaks. Other teams are simply not losing.... The Spurs, OKC, Grizzlies are going strong.
Flakers losing to Cleveland.
Lakers are just downright terrible atm but Kobe should be happy. He got to pad his stats against the miserable Cavs defense.
