Its pretty much over Laker lead by 1 with 16 sec left

Oh yeah?

I need to keep my mouth shut sometimes. This Utah team shows resilience just wont go away. At least Lakers forced OT. By the way it feels weird rooting for the Lakers normally I root against them.

I can't root for the Lakers. Anyway, I am hoping for:

Utah
Phoenix
Denver
LAC
LAL
Portland
Dallas
Memphis

I don't care much for getting the 1 seed. Hopefully we stick with 2 and Clippers/Lakers get 4 and 5. But that's too good to be true.

We have a tough stretch coming up so I just view catching the Jazz as also increasing our buffer over the LA teams and Denver.

After last night I have a feeling the Suns don't want the 1st seed. Between Mavs and Blazers in full strength I prefer the Mavs. Ayton and Booker are extra motivated vs Luka, and Doncic is basically 100% of the Mavs system (19a + 16FGA in 38mins in a loss last game), so much more predictable. KP is the X factor on this team, hopefully we can contain him in such matchup.

First they steal Tyler Johnson and now another former Sun? Who's next Josh Jackson? Screw that team even though I adore Nash and Dantoni my heart cannot root for that evil empire Mark's has build.

Curry has scored 175 points in his last 4 games. The 4 before that he scored 148.

Yeah, he is sooo lanky and thin that it even affects his face somehow.

Just an all time weird look. He has some flashes on the court tho - at least he should become an OK bench player. Good choice for OKC.

Yeah, that was tragic how the 12 year old teen survived so many stab wounds is a miracle. Both teens were tried as adults in court I believe

Bit nerdy but when my older cousin used to game during the Counterstrike days, his name was fish. When I went to the same school as him, all his mates just called me lil fish so that became my gamer tag when I used to play.

Super unoriginal but it's always better to have a (good) nickname bestowed on you than to have to make one up yourself and expect others to start calling you that....like a rapper or something lol

Or Kobe, but I guess he just saw Kill Bill and liked the Black Mamba scene so he took that....it was funny when he described how he came up with it he was reading about snakes though.

I guess when you're a public figure/celebrity, it comes with the marketing of your brand so I can't hate on someone for coming up with a nickname that represents their image/brand. I was more talking about the kid at school who tried to get everyone to call him Cobra (or whatever) because he thinks it sounds cool lol

I don't think anyone should give themselves a nickname. I thought Shaq giving himself all sorts of nicknames was dumb too. Nicknames are more meaningful when someone else gives it to you.
