LOL i literally laughed out loud when I read walton's name in all caps hahahhaa

and wth kobe? dude is playing on another level right now. too good

 

[Jane]

What did he do? I missed most of the game.

KG didnt get called for a foul so he stormed to the other side of the court raging pretty hard, then proceeded to get a quick two technicals and ejected from the game. crowd was cheering so hard lmao.

edit- and just as i type this up spo gets ejected for raging lmaooo

 

[theeboredone]

Yeah, this has been an interesting OT game. LeBron missing some key free throws in regulation that could have iced it. Chalmers acting like a *****. Clippers looked impressive.

 

[Masmasher@]

this heat/clippers game has really gotten good
d jordan has really been hurting them with the block
chris paul has really put the team on his back offensively and blake has been so absent all game (aside from the slips forgot he was playing


and lmao erik spolstra just got the same fate as rick carilse

lebron had a alright game but wade missed alot of key shots
first time in a while lebron has been in foul trouble

 

[theeboredone]

All of the big 3 were awful. Wade has been struggling in the clutch this season. Perhaps it's his foot?

 

[The Real Gamer]

How many games to the Heat have to give away like this? I thought after the plethora of absolute meltdowns last year (especially in the Finals) this team would finally get their **** together, but apparently not.

At this point I don't care if the Heat lose as many as 10 games in a row... Hell I hope they keep losing until they finally understand the meaning of "mental toughness." This team is far too talented to keep losing like this.

 

[theeboredone]

LeBron and Mental Toughness? -Stephen A Smith Laugh-

 

[theeboredone]

Lakers' bench scores 4 points and they win over the Cavs courtesy of Kobe's 42, Bynum's 15-10, Gasol's 19-10, Fisher's 10 assists, and Barnes 15 points.

Basically, the starters beasted out. World Peace and Walton didn't play for the Lakers.

MEANWHILE. Miami lost its third straight.

 

[The Real Gamer]

MEANWHILE. Miami lost its third straight.

Thanks for the update...

Saw this loss coming Miami just can't win in Denver. The worst part was Wade apparently just suffered "the worst ankle sprain in his life" so I expect him to be gone for at least a month.

In the span of 3 games the Heat went from having the best chance in the East for the #1 seed to "lets just hope we can remain the #2 seed like last year."

 

[theeboredone]

How lame would it be if a team like the 76ers end up with the 2nd seed lol.

So some trash talk I've started hearing around the neighborhood about the Heat...

You can't spell HEART without the R.

 

[theeboredone]

Dallas continues to make the weirdest videos.

[Jem.]

Indiana Pacers -- The Memphis Grizzlies of last year? If they keep playing how they are, someone might be in for the upset special.

 

[Masmasher@]

well we have seen this script before
boston behind by the end of the half followed by doc rivers scolding them
makes a push in the third and part of the fourth to make a run
will they finish
(even though i want the thunder to win)

 

[theeboredone]

Boston is old /topic

 

[Masmasher@]

lmfao
boston usually gets their **** together by the playoffs and or after the all star break

good job to the thunder
hoping for them to come out the west even though it seems the clippers are developing as a team much faster then the heat in their first year

 

[Orboknown]

The heat didnt get a PG in their big three.

 

[theeboredone]

What a garbage Laker/Dallas game. No one can buy a shot.

 

[Masmasher@]

damn lol
i was getting bored and started playing KOF 13
but damn this is like a college game
but worse
****
but alas dallas and the lakers arent exactly the most electrifying teams to watch in the first place
aside from kobe lighting it up (well not so much today i guess
their team is boring
dallas too

 

[theeboredone]

Fisher doing what he does best. I swear, just play him only in the fourth.

LOL! Shaq thought Toronto was a country. I died.

Barkley: Earnie, the Wizards are the worst team in the NBA.
EJ: The record would never have indicated that.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Good luck TBO. ;p

 

[theeboredone]

Eh, LA always sucks against LBJ. Kobe is 2-9 against him. One of those games being when Kobe left the game in the first half. Don't see anything different happening.\

It's so depressing to see Bynum get the Shaq treatment.

 

[Masmasher@]

I was gonna say
youd think the lakers would wanna blow up the heat
but their last match during chirstmas was kind of boring
and kobe looked disinterested

 

[The Real Gamer]

Kobe and LeBron aren't doing much of anything so far. Kinda disappointing tbh.

Hopefully things spice up in the 2nd half.

EDIT: Nevermind LeBron showed up there in end.

 

[theeboredone]

Oh hey look, I'm right on another Kobe vs LBJ prediction. I don't know why, but Kobe's team always loses to LBJ's. Doesn't matter if Kobe is hot, cold, not taking shots, taking shots...just one of those things.

It's like asking LA to beat the Bobcats. Not gonna happen.

 

[The Real Gamer]

LOVE beating the Knicks and watching their fans squirm.

Scrubs connect a bunch of lucky *** 3's and still manage to lose by 10.

Chicago is next on Sunday!

 

[tko112]

starting today, Lakers play 8 of their next 9 games on the road

given their current road record this season, I'm gonna give them a benefit of a doubt and say they go 4-4 on their road games

 

[Linguini]

pretty happy with the heat's performance last night albeit it was against the knicks stagnant offense and general disorientation. wade was looking ridic!

besides the heat the only other team i'm really behind are the timberwolves. the love-rubio teamwork is ridiculous and rubio is def one of my favorite players to watch

 

[theeboredone]

I'm telling you, superstars just play well against the Knicks. Especially in MSG. Lakers road and offensive woes continue. Seriously, someone outside the Big 3 needs to step up =/

 

[Jane]

the wolves are doing work lately. Rubio is definitely a boss.

Hey when do playoffs start? Like april?

 

[CableCho57]

anyone else watching this mavs/spurs game? O_O WTH

 

[theeboredone]

Spurs coming back after a big Mavs lead. Not surprised given it happens so often between the two teams. Game 7 of the West Semis in 2006 being the pinnacle of that.

 

[Masmasher@]

battle of the old teams
lmfao
its hard to watch a mavs team that feels sorta indifferent about playing because they already got a ring

 

[The Real Gamer]

My man Wade just can't perform well against the Bulls anymore for some reason. I don't know if it's a mental thing or if the Bulls purposely shut him down as part of their game plan.

I mean I'm still happy that the Heat got the W of course but the game was a little too close for comfort. The Bulls are one scrappy *** team. :\

 

[theeboredone]

That was epic choke city in the closing moments.

 

[Masmasher@]

Kyrie Irving with the last minute score to beat the celtics!
wish i coulda caught the game instead of being in study sessions

 

[theeboredone]

Lol, Celtics seem to always lose to the Cavs when I check the score. Last year, they beat Heat opening night, then flew to Cleveland and lose.

 

[The Real Gamer]

LeBron with a "dunk of the season" candidate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvjjEtjwKHE&feature=player_embedded

If I were John Lucas I would have just given up on basketball for the rest of my life after that play.

 

[theeboredone]

It's really not that impressive...

 

[The Real Gamer]

How often do you see someone clear a player for a one handed alley oop? Definitely dunk of the season so far.

 

[theeboredone]

When the guy is 5'10, then you better be able to "clear" him.
