Start with Kobe. How is that even justifiable? Why is Kobe excused for losing without Bynum, while LeBron is penalized for losing games he doesn't play despite consistently winning with key players out. In games LeBron finished, cleveland has a better winning percentage than the lakers and are just a hair behind other teams who have been far more healthy.

The only reason that they don't have a better record than the lakers right now is the 5 1/2 games LeBron missed where the team was 20ppg worse.

Excellent game by Brad Miller - 22 pts, 21 rebs (career high), 5 ast, 3 blk

Just tops off how this guy has revived his game from the last 1 or 2 seasons.

Ron Artest was also especially good, in the win over Charlotte

And finally somebody beat New Orleans (good :) ), Warriors with a serious, serious road win on the 2nd of a BTB... and getting revenge from the loss earlier in the month. Very enjoyable game, too. Guys making shots and flying around all over the court. Felt more than a regular game, also. Baron Davis kicking ass with the crowd booing him was fantastic. I think that's just going overboard anyway, from what I know of what went on there.

Chicago losing to Minnesota is bad, but Minny has been playing good 'ball lately, and thought they'd more energized at home.

Philly just dominating Milwaukee like that is awesome - Sixers are going to play teams hard, and from what I saw Milwaukee was just really lacking.

Lebron's drive was clean. Stop bitching. It's not like a Tony Parker travel.

i was at the warriors-hornets game

warriors forced us into one on one, we thought we could dominate with DX and tyson chandler inside,

golden state couldn't miss. baron had a quiet 23 and 9 assists.

warriors were 13-27 from three. looked like a hornets number.

only in new orleans can you walk from the arena to a mardi gras parade afterwards.

wish yall were here

Little late...

LeBron was simply incredible, again, a classic-esque performance - and specifically, played solid defense in the 4th qtr. Which started around the 6 minute mark, being a key part in containing Roy there. I've seen/known of this a number of times before these last two games, but I'm curious when has this started? When LeBron defends the best wing-player in the 4th qtr.

Strong win by Cleveland too

It actually started a few years ago. His defense has always been better than he has been criticized for, but this year he has definately taken yet another giant step up. I remember one game pretty clearly from last year (during the regular season) of LeBron switching to Tony Parker and shutting him down in the 4th, as an example.
