EVER SINCE STEPHEN JACKSON'S RETURN FROM SUSPENSION, the Warriors are tied with the Boston Celtics for the most wins in the league. But the Warriors are still only in the 7th seed because of the games that they lost WITHOUT Jackson. That just shows how close teams are in the West and that seedings don't really show how good/bad a team is.

Dwight Howard on his FT struggles:
"I just think everybody needs to stop talking about it," Howard said. "There's more to life than free throws."

He's playing like a d-leaguer.

maybe it was ron artest's defense
and to warrior fans... sorry.. i was just frustrated with them when they were losing by 10 to a below .500 team ... was before they made a big push in the 4th for the win.

Kevin Martin with another GW shot in his career, continuing to show he is a clutch player. Fine, fine win by the Kings. Definitely needed, and almost got away. 7 players in doube figures.
The Sonics reaction was just priceless... "Ah MAN! Again..."
Saw chunks of Anthony Carter going absolutely insane before - which was just surreal to watch, haha
Also, definitely have to give props to Al Jefferson and Minnesota. This is like Jefferson's 3rd 40 pt, higher-double digit rebounding (tonight 19 rebounds) game this season.. I fully expected a win for the Nets, but they just sucked it up a little bit, once again. A goose egg for that road trip.
Quality day of basketball

By comparison, two Western Conference teams with an above .500 record wouldn't make the playoffs if they started now.
The NBA needs some sort of rule that would put above .500 teams ahead of sub .500 teams in the playoffs, regardless of record.
At least the top 6 is solid after that it's just ugly. Thanks to the Bulls and Nets both imploding this season.

He had a ridiculous 2nd half, and scoring stretch in the 4th qtr. Mainly on jumpshots.

I was just amazed. "ANTHONY CARTER!" "God, Anthony Carter!" "CARTER, wow". The announcers were shocked, too.

The Kings are doing better than expected but there is no way in hell they are making the playoffs. I also don't think that this roster will stay together next year, with Bibby likely being traded and Artest going away in FA. So I don't see the point of winning 35 games with a cast that is not going to be around next year.
