    Yeah I don't know wtf he was thinking with that, definitely a very low move. I guess the only positive out of it is Nick Young will probably be off the team next year. To me he's not really the type of player you want on a team that's trying to be competitive.

    But yeah I hope that's just a sign of Russ being young and immature and not his normal character. How the f--- you gonna be hanging out with a teammate in your hotel talking about girls and then record him like that? d---.. Pretty ridiculous.

    Just read about the Lakers loss, disappointing to say the least; if only the Lakers had a better offense/defense and were in tip-top shape.

    It's just saddening how LA doesn't even have a sports team that can make it; we have the Ducks sucking whenever it comes to the big games and the Angels. Don't get me started on the Angels; they are the worst baseball team in the history of baseball. It's going to be sad to lose a legend like Kobe but I don't believe for a second that somebody can pick up his torch; somebody has to, they can't be just left hanging out there without a star player. Lakers already have too many L's.

    If they keep their draft pick this year and get a new coach then they really shouldn't be too far away from being a competitive team again. Lots of good young players that will only get better.

    Anyways on another note it wouldn't surprise me if the Warriors get their 8th loss tomorrow night, 2nd of a back to back and at Utah is a tough place to play. I think the Warriors still have a game or 2 vs. the Spurs left too so it's still far from a sure thing that they'll get to 73.

    Kobe's last 2 games were maybe his 2 worst of the season, sad that he's not in one of his hot stretches here at the end. He's had probably like 2 or 3 stretches of 5-10 games where he got going and played pretty well, but other than that it's been ugly all year. Last night was kinda sad really, I could tell he was excited about playing against Wade for the last time so he tried to be aggressive but just made really bad decisions, forced shots with 2 defenders on him (got blocked), took a wild off balance shot he'd maybe hit 10 years ago, just a pretty sad performance all around. He went like 1-7, played 9 or 10 minutes and that was it. His body's truly breaking down and can't handle playing anymore, hope he has 1 decent stretch left but it's not looking good.

    Warriors had a crazy game, I only saw some of the 4th and some of OT. Draymond played some great defense and grabbed big rebounds, he's so huge for that team. Curry hit some ridiculous clutch shots(not 3 pointers), the difficulty of some of these shots in the big moments is unlike anything I've seen since Kobe was at his best. I don't know how anyone can question Curry's greatness still if they've watched him even on a somewhat regular basis, he's a LOT more than just a shooter. He made some big defensive plays and had some huge assists in the key moments last night too.

    Well it depends on your situation I guess, but I can tell you that Kobe will almost definitely play as he wants to play every remaining game. You might wanna wait another game or so though to see if he's able to play at least 20-25 minutes, cuz last game he only played like 9 minutes then was out. Hopefully he at least gets his legs under him a little more next game. They play Boston for the last time next game so you'd think he at least wants to play decent for that one.

    d--- that was bad luck for your bro, think he went like 1-11 that night, it was an ugly game. But hopefully it was still worth it just to see his final game in Utah at least, that should have been a cool moment either way. The Jazz tribute video they had to Kobe was awesome too, one of the better ones that visiting teams have done for him so far. Here's the video they showed.




    I went to the last game in Portland, and they didn't even do a video tribute or anything for him lol, Portland fans are pretty bitter still I think for anything Lakers related.

    Draymond's mostly pretty clutch, but that was a bad fumble there, very well might be the difference in this game. Not over yet though.

    Steph had a great look to send it to OT, thought he was gonna hit that.

    Huge win for the Celtics.
