The Regime

Basketball hands down, it has been that way since I started playing in 5th grade. I've followed the NBA with a passion since the 7th or 8th grade.

Well it doesn't look like that finger is bothering Gordon, dude is killing it this half.

I was actually playing basketball that night, so I missed the first half. When I came home my dad was talking mad smack about how the Lakers were losing to the Raptors. At half Kobe only had 26 points which was anything special, I was just hoping for a Lakers win at that point. The second half started with a bang and Kobe really started to take control of the game and that's when I began to feel like something special was going to happen. I remember being really angry at all the people who were at Staples and witnessed this performance firsthand lol. It was the single greatest performance I had ever seen and will probably ever see. After the game finished I texted some of my close friends (most of which are big time Kobe haters), and bragged about his performance. All the haters at that point could say was that he was a ballhog. I think that night I watched the highlights on ESPN atleast 5-6 times lol, it was just that exciting. I remember when I went to school the next morning there were a whole bunch of Kobe jerseys.

Kevin Love with 0 rebounds at halftime. :o And it looks like Eric Gordon tore a ligament in his right ring finger. Tough luck for the Clips who were just starting to play some solid basketball.

We suck. Fish didn't play a single minute in the 4th quarter, and by the looks of it he looked pretty pissed. Hopefully this is Phil's way of telling him to play some [expletive]ing defense.

Ball needs to go through Kobe on every possession. Odom should know better than to play iso ball.

I feel like shooting Luke Walton in the face.

^We're not winning if he doesn't look to score in the 4th.

Bench is blowing chunks. This team just doesn't know how to defend the perimeter. If point guards are looking to put up monster numbers look no further than playing us. Kobe might need to go the entire 4th quarter.

I'm actually surprised we don't get called for 3 seconds alot more, Pau and Bynum both love to camp in the paint.

Marcus Thorton was held scoreless through the first 3 quarters, but he has exploded for 11 in the 4th in a couple minute span. He is single handedly carrying this team.

Mavs are getting pretty much any shot they want. We're getting beat off the dribble, we're not closing out on three point shooters, and our transition defense blows. Make the adjustments! This game shouldn't even be close.

I hate the guy, but Ray Allen is really clutch in tight games. It was obvious Doc was going to design a play for Ray off the timeout.

Wtf are we doing on defense, this is frustrating to watch.

MVP: Derrick Rose Coach of the Year: Tom Thibodeau Defensive Player of the Year: Dwight Howard Most Improved: Wes Matthews 6th man: Lamar Odom Rookie of the Year: Blake Griffin Biggest Disappointment (player or team): Tyreke Evans, Brandon Jennings Biggest Surprise (player or team): San Antonio Spurs First League All-Team: C: Dwight Howard PF: Amare Stoudemire SF: Kevin Durant SG: Kobe Bryant PG: Derrick Rose Finals Guess: Lakers vs. Celtics

The effort sucks on defense, nobody feels the need to close out on open shooters or get back in transition.

Same. I don't know why, but I've really developed a strong hatred for the Packers this postseason. I have a lot of respect for Charles Woodson and Clay Matthews, but despise every other guy on the team.

I'm not really satisfied with our defense in the first quarter, Mavs are getting a lot of easy baskets.

This right here. As far as facilitating and playing making is concerned, Rondo, Chris Paul, and Deron Williams all have the upper hand. I'm a little skeptical about his passing abilities at times. However, Rose is by the the most explosive pg in the league and the most complete scorer among pg's. Adding that three ball to his repertoire this season has made him deadly.

ESPN has been on Jimmer Fredette's nuts tonight. They seriously have nothing else to report or discuss?

Crawford-Evans-Wilkins-Zaza-Powell. How do the Hawks expect to score with that lineup.

LOL what a brutal first quarter for Miami.

lmao at these questions

1. Why are you so young? 2. If Nash leaves will you still be a Suns fan? 3. Who do you hate more, Frye or Carter? 4. Will the Suns make the playoffs? 5. Why are you stepping up and becoming a leader? More later...
