Yes. With the way we've been playing and them losing Duncan the possibility of us getting the number one seed has increased significantly.

Manu went down tonight as well. He missed most of the second half with a thigh contusion.

Yes, there is very favorable mathematical chance... the question is can these guy muster the energy to physically accomplish that and win in the playoffs... I'm thinking they are peaking to soon but anything is possible... these guys know the ropes and what to do and what not to do having been down that rarely traveled road successfully twice already... maybe we will see extreme history being written and Phil Jackson going out with a tremendous bang... stay tuned...

Despite some decent runs by the NOH... that almost felt too easy.

damn, imagine if we took the other games seriously in other months, we could've had the 1 seed. oh well.

Kobe: "Just getting into playoff mode."

Well, missing West really hurts them offensively, and they are already pretty undersized compared to LA(save for Monster Matt Money)

karacha wrote:+14. Pretty decent. PHX might beat DAL tonight, who knows?

Link please, if you have.

Yea....I'm not sure he should be taking 25 shots a night in the playoffs though. We are better when the shots are spread around a little more.

WTS I'm glad he is beginning to look like the Mamba again.

Did you see that post game interview of Kobe by Fox? Kobe was in full playoff mind mode... tight lipped and game faced AFTER the game they won... this is a man on a mission... please witness this... this guy had his fangs out AFTER the game they won... this is too rich... rock on!!!!

"He shot that one from Englewood."

"You need perspiration to slide properly."

I watched the game, but I didn't feel like running back and forth between my TV and PC tonight. We beat them easily without even really trying. I hope we get the Hornets in the 1st round.
