There's the real Kobe at the end there. He'll go back to taking the shots next game.

Wow, I changed the channel thinking they had it in the bag. Did Howard re-injure is back, shoulder or something new?

Re-injured his shoulder.

They lost because his teammates were missing when he was giving them dimes the whole 4th quarter.

Count on Kobe.

NM I saw it was his shoulder.

I missed the story about Gasol going off about getting benched against NO. That's the biggest problem with this team the last few years. They air all of their dirty laundry in the media. You really don't have much of a chance if you can't come together for more than a few days at a time. I think I've seen more silly dramatic stories about them than I can remember with any team in a short period of time.

Memphis has a lid on the basket tonight. Wow!

LMAO And Memphis gets raped in their first half after the trade.

You don't have season tix anymore OKC?

OKC just put up about 60 in the first half; it doesn't much matter if there is a lid on the other basket or not.

yea from analytical standpoint that trade was smart but you can tell that trade absolutely deflated the morale of the players on Memphis, it ruined their entire composition. They sent away a friend, captain, guy that can create his own shot, just to be cheap and it's clear the players arent happy nor is the coach

and before you say "but memphis was better without him two years ago in the playoffs blah blah"

there is also only like 4 or 5 guys left from that 2011 Memphis team. That team was DEEP and was able to make up for Rudy's injury with guys like OJ Mayo, Shane Battier, Gervis Vasquez, etc who are now all long gone

10 point game.

I do but since the resell value is on average 6 times what I pay for the seats I've been selling a lot of games. I've made twice my money back. Come playoff time ill be there every game.

I'm not sure what Westbrook is so pissed about, but kudos to Brooks for letting him stew. He needs check that shit.
