No but since they are always cheating Dwight Howard over to JJ leaving Smoove open, him having the shot/pass option isnt' any worst than when we can't score because guys are forcing shots.

I think these two were separated at birth.

Healthy CP3 just went for his second triple double. I think that speaks greatness. Career is farrrrrrr from over sir.

And he'll look amazing in blue and orange.

[JRTPlaya21]

Of OKC sir? I could most definitely live with that one!!! Too bad I see him being a Laker, Knick or Magic one day

[Docta]

Did Lakers just let the Hornets beat them in the playoffs, when the Hornets don't even have their second best player?

I know it's a sample size, but it was still winnable, and they let it get away.

Starting today, it's a 3-game series and LA has homecourt advantage. I think they'll be OK. In order to win the series, the Hornets have to win in LA, assuming they can take care of business at home (which is hardly a given). Tall, tall order.

Lakers playing too relaxed. I understand that OKC was a good team last year but I feel that they did it in the first round last year as well, I dont think we should have went 7 games against OKC but we did because for some reason they feel like they can just roll through their first round match up.

Thunder/Lakers went 6 games not 7.

[prock]

That one commercial with the Fisher shot after the Duncan shot where the screen spins around and round makes me want to throw up.

Thank you sir.

poor timmy D. slowly drifting away into irrelevance...

[mqtirishfan]

I take back everything I said about having a bad feeling about the playoffs.

[SeanTaylorRIP]

Love Westbrook but damn he's been shooting way too much this series. 30 shot attempts from your PG? woah way too much. Thunder are better when Russell is attacking the rim to either finish or set up his teammates. KD Should always be taking the most shots. I still think the Lakers or even Mavs will win the West. The Thunder have most of the pieces but are lacking a true third scorer. They had that somewhat in Jeff Green, now they need to find a replacement.

[Nalej]

I haven't watched the Thunder series but I thought Harden had filled in nicely in that 3rd option role... not so much in the playoffs?

[D-Unit]

Pretty sure the Magic turnaround tonight is due to my new sig!!!

[Bosanac01]

There is still another half to be played. The Magic are hitting everything.

[M.O.T.H.]

Domination tonight finally. Obviously I dont have to tell anyone that Orlando's shooting has been horrid. Open miss, after open miss. They were bound to fall eventually. No reason why Orlando couldnt duplicate this performance on Thursday...they didnt even shoot that well, tonight.

I still cannot believe how off Hedo has been. It's absolutely baffling. I just hope we're alive long enough for him to turn this around. It's freaking killing me, and really pissing me off.

I never thought we'd lose Dwight...but a first round exit, full of horrible teammate performances. Could really complicate things. It honestly has me thinking rebuild every now and then. Finding a viable/realistic trade scenario involving Dwight isnt the easiest thing to do. And I sure as hell dont want to move him to the Bulls or the Lakers. BLEH.

Anyone have some realistic Dwight trade scenarios? Obviously, it has to be a place with stars intact, a destination where a contract extension would be agreed too, and they'd have to enough young talent to actually acquire him in the first place.

I really do think it's more likely that Dwight stays and Otis Smith manages to pull another star out of his ass...but this playoff performance def. has me thinking about different options/outcomes for the future.

[SickwithIt1010]

Whats wrong with Kobe's ankle? I thought they were saying it was hurt or somethin?

[Halsey]

Playoff choker Joe Johnson appeared again tonight and Jamal Crawford joined him. Hopefully the JJ and Crawford of the previous 2 games return for game 6.

God, I hated Monty Williams on the Magic.

I was wondering when the real JJ would show up.

[JoeJoeBrown]

Good lord the lower deck Laker fans are absolute douches.

[yo123]

The Hornets are so talentless outside of CP3. David West being out has something to do with it but the Hornets are even more reliant on Paul than Chicago is on Rose. If Ariza wasn't playing so inexplicably well on offense this series would be over already, CP3 is good as gone.
