Yeah what was that? For anyone that missed it, Ryno was in a mid court huddle with some bucks players and personal...looked almost like they were remembering someone they lost...as a sign of respect...I could be way off though.

yeah. I wonder what they were doing. Praying?

Mind you I HATE the Lakers, bet on them because they were only 2pt favorites and I figured it was an easy way to double my winnings. First time I ever wanted the Lakers to win a game and Kobe forced 10 turnovers while shooting 1-9 from the 3 pt line, LA makes Jared Dudley and Gortat look like Parrish/McHale, and the rest of the Lakers just sucked.

Now tonight, Orlando is 2.5 favorites and it looks like an easy way to catch back up to last night. Everything is telling me Orlando has an easy win tonight, but if they lose my wife would just kill me.

Well most of the game I was actually happy I didn't make the bet. After the game, I hate the Lakers even more.

They'd still be 3... lol

But they'd have 24 wins now, meaning they would've been right behind the Heat and Bulls.

Oh ok thanks...didn't know he did that with other teams. Does he do this often? Haven't really seen that before. I'm not religious but you have to respect that. I'm sure he's thanking the almighty for that disgusting dagger 3

Or those games to the Celtics...which were freakish loses.

or if JJ had an extra 3 tenths of a second against the spurs

BBD plays better with Howard in the game. Would have like to see Clark Kent get some burn but good win, also shocked svg played Liggins!

Wow, some of you are waaaaaay too hard on Dwight considering his statline. He by and large played well. Of course I agree that we went to him too much at the end, but honestly I've never believed that there should be one "closer", especially a center. And at the end of the day he WAS unselfish enough to pass it to the wide open JJ for a huge bucket and he still got the tip to Nelson that gave Anderson the chance to shoot the game winner. And props for that to Ryan.

Contributions from all the starters tonight, Ryan and JJ didn't play great for most of the game but they came through in the end. I thought Jameer and Hedo were both pretty good.

But the concept of a "closer" is kind of a pet peeve. I do NOT think we should go away from Dwight at the end of games, I think we do that too much. But since when is 1 on 5 better than using the entire offense? 1 on 5 hurts you even if its a guy like Kobe, you need to play team ball and get the bucket to the guy that's hot or the open man. I think certain people do seem to have a knack for making shots at the end of games, but that doesn't mean that they should take the ball down every time, the entire concept is overblown by the media. To give Stan a little bit of the benefit of the doubt, Dwight was the hot one for most of the game... but we overdid it. Although I WILL say that giving it to him the ball over and over is what gave JJ that very important shot, if we don't go to Dwight at all then maybe the defenders stay home on him.

As far as Liggins... not enough time on him yet.

and if we didnt get emotionally destroyed by the celtics which made us lose by 30 to the hornets...their only win in their last 20 games.

3 OT losses plus those 2 puts us number 1 in east.

But then...what about those crazy wins we had like all 3 against the bucks..lol it goes both ways
