Considering what the Heat did last night... at this moment, NOTHING can stop them.
Also, I'm hoping that Granger actually is able to be a good player really soon. I'm surprised that the knee is still bothering him.

Lakers now occupy the 8th spot in the West. Can they keep it up? Barring an injury, the Lakers will be in the playoffs. They "clicked" like 20 games ago. ALTHOUGH I really don't think they will do anything in the playoffs. They have too many holes to take down one of the top 4 teams in a series.

How is this guys still employed? similar to Mario Balotelli... tons of potential but has attitude issues and an unwillingness to control himself. The sentiment with amongst Kings fans is that we're done with his punk ass behavior. His potential isn't worth the headaches and embarrassment he brings to the team and the city.

If you take out the off-the-court stuff about franchise's future- the Kings roster is a puzzle with a boatload of bad fitting pieces.
These guys don't mesh the way they did 10 years ago.

Geoff Petrie has been absolutely horrible at assembling a competitive team since Adelman left. He deserves a lot of blame but he's been handcuffed by terrible owners. The Maloofs have been sabotaging the team by operating the franchise on a shoestring budget in order the kill a great fanbase simply because they wanted to move the team. They have continued to bring in bottom of the barrel coaches that will work for peanuts and because of that we haven't been able to develop any of our recent draft picks. Keith Smart is a nice dude, but his rotations are terrible and the inconsistent minutes have retarded the growth of a lot of our younger players.

Keith Smart is a nice dude, but his rotations are terrible and the inconsistent minutes have retarded the growth of a lot of our younger players. you mentioning the Kings brings up an argument I kind of wanted to address for awhile. Why is it so hard for a bunch of teams to rebuild? I understand that basketball is probably the hardest sport to find elite talent, but consistently you see teams like the Spurs find good players through different means. And it's not just they end up being ok players, they end up being heavy contributors that are cogs for the team. Dallas had that effect for a bit in the middle part of the decade (Josh Howard, Marquise Daniels, JJ Barea). How is it so hard for teams that are consistent lotto teams to build teams challenging for the playoffs? Again, I know the talent coming into the draft isn't as great as the amateurs from football, hockey, and basell (though baseball is a different case in itself), but does scouting in the NBA really suck that much?

The Spurs are consistently good because they have a great front office, but I think they're success comes mostly from having an excellent coach in Greg Popovich. He's a guy that gets the most out of his players and knows how to develop homegrown talent.

The sad thing is the Warriors didn't even play that well. The Knicks just bombed hard. Shot percentage was terrible.

How hilarious would it be if the Celtics somehow won the division?
