Best triple double since Robertson or Wilt. Takes a special player to be capable of such things. That was probably the best game by any player this season.

I agree. There were a couple big games yesterday in the NBA.

3 Thunder players scored 30 last night to go with Ibaka's 18 points and 20 rebounds. Ballin'

Roland Lazenby is a longtime journalist in Los Angeles with close ties to the Lakers organization, and this afternoon, he tweeted this:

Quote :

It seems we'll soon be getting news that Gasol has been traded. No details confirmed, but he's apparently gone.

rumors as far as ive heard is to golden state for curry biedris(spell) and picks, portland for felton and a couple of more players

We came through in a close game against Boston, Hell yeah! World Peace came to ball yesterday.


P.S. Pau better not be getting traded damnit!!

Sessions!!! awe yeee!

Fish got a 45 second standing ovation from the Thunder crowd when he entered the game yesterday. Everyone loves this deal, except freak.

I love that deal also, but for the Bulls.

1000 times better than Fisher for the Lakers.

I'll take the opinions of NBA vets and analyst over a delusional Bulls fan any day. Exactly what I told you yesterday, an assistant coach that can hit a shot or two and help these young guys in the locker room.

Time will tell. In 2-3 months I'll be here saying I told you so.

Seriously doubt that. You will have a hard time convincing me Fish taking minutes away from Reggie Jackson, who simply isn't ready yet, at the same time allowing Westbrook to get more rest during the season, you are crazy. Also if you don't think he can/will improve the locker room and help these young guys with his experience, you are crazy. But it won't matter next year when Eric Maynor is back because he was turning into an exceptional backup PG.

Sessions is a bad motha fucka

Yeah now LA has a serious shot at being the 3rd best team in the West.

No one wants to see LA in the playoffs. Especially San Antonio

I'd love to be the team to put them down. Thunder would still take that series in 5. Especially with home court.

You LA fans have been delusional all season. Remember the Kobe for MVP talks LOL. Just cause of 5 game stretch. Your boys can't hang, we both know it.

Since when is the leading scoring in the league not in the MVP talks? Especially when playing through as many injuries as Kobe does

I've been rational about this team all year. Getting Sessions has taken their offense to a higher level. The pick and roll game has opened things up huge for Gasol, as seen by these monster performances the last couple games. Bynum and Kobe gonna do their thing. If this team gets some outside shooting from Sessions, Barnes, and Blake, they can beat anyone in the West

KD won back to back scoring titles and still didn't get the MVP. Those numbers are obviously not enough to get it done. KD has a better chance at the MVP this season simply because the Thunder will finish so far ahead of LA in the regular season. I think LA has a good chance vs anyone in the West...except OKC who still has far too deep of a roster for LA to have much of a shot there.

Rockets just beat LA with 2 starters hurt. We'd knock LA out of playoffs easy. A good chance its a 3-6 match up too.
