NAW was doing really well for a stretch of games before getting injured. Say, our pick is 10 - Is there some maneuverablity there? I don't think 10 and 11 gets us into the top 4. It might end up being a frustrating situation.

If Beal was willing to do a sign and trade so NO had long term security, I think you can get another high pick since our first rounder is probably outside of the sweet spot.

Don't worry, Lebron. The NBA will make sure the Lakers make it into the playoffs no matter what. If necessary, you will shoot 25 free throws in that play-in game.

I like the play-in. It definitely has put a stop to tanking by mediocre teams, and frankly, I don't think 7th and 8th seeded teams (particularly in the East) should be rewarded with a sure-thing playoff berth. Let them earn it in the play-in game or bust their butts to get to the 6th seed.

Udonis Haslem played a total of 2 minutes this season, and he earned his salary. Dude scored 2 baskets, drew an offensive foul, but what he really did was send the message - If you try to bully us in the playoffs, you're cutting off more than you can chew. And you can believe that message will fire up his teammates.

18 years in the NBA for 1 team... after being undrafted. Damn! Btw, he's still got a little something left in the tank.

I don't know what he's got in the tank, but I bet he's got a lot left in the bank!

If he can just hit three in a row to trigger the fire trails, Steph's got this.

I really like GS. With Draymond and Looney, they can really defend up front - forget Wiseman. And Curry has to be doubled all the time. They have others who can shoot 3's. I think the Lakers are going down.

Lebron's still great, but he no longer has that explosiveness when he's finishing near the rim.

Could they be buyers at the dead line with some high picks and wiseman ???

GS up by 2 to start the 4th quarter. This game is living up to all the hype, GS has to stop the turnovers. Lakers double-teams have bothered Curry, but he's made a few amazing shots. Green's defense has been all-world.

Jordan Poole of all people almost made one of the greatest plays ever, but Lebron hacked him and wasn't even called for it. LA up by 1 now with about 7 minutes left. This is awesome.

Labron is such a floppy piece of ****.

Lebron wins it with a miracle 30 foot fadeaway 3 as the shot-clock went off with 58 seconds left - while he complained that he couldn't see. Can't make this stuff up. The real star of the game was Caruso - who made so many smart plays and did a great defensive job on Curry. Curry scored at will against Shroeder but had a lot of trouble with Caruso. Poole missed an open 3 that would have tied it, but he's gonna be a very good player. If the Wiz somehow make a trade with GS, get Poole.

I can't stand watching the end of important Lakers games. They get the most BS calls.

The charge that had to be overturned. The incredibly legal "illegal screen" on Draymond. Ignoring Kerr trying to call timeout. Allowing the Lakers to practically bear hug Curry on the final play.

It's all so predictable. You have to beat the Lakers by ten points more than the actual score, or the refs are gonna give it to them.

Lol, I can't see. What a drama queen. He was doing everything possible to try to get the officials to call a fragrant against Draymond. Btw, neither of them can jump.

I like Golden State, also. Unfortunately, the referee liked the Lakers tonight.

I NBA an TNT will be very happy with the games and the ratings to come Thursday and Friday night or Saturday. (whenever the Golden State Warriors play).

The FBI should seriously be investigating them for point shaving and mob or racketeering activity. Officials are officially cheating as far as I am concerned.
