    The best 4 combo is Kobe, Fish, Artest, Pau at a +19.
    And the best individual is LO at a ridiculous +27.

    Weird...notice how LO is included in the starting 5 for the Lakers, but not in the 4 combo...but then has the best individual +/-

    I saw that too. Kind of surprising.

    I doubt the Heat make the playoffs. Next May, look for a new LeBron hour special entitled the "blunder".

    Care to place a wager on the Heat missing the playoffs?

    Heat will make the playoffs. It doesnt take much to make the playoffs in the Eastern Conf....

    I will say this, I think the Heat are in some trouble. I'm not buying the "it takes time to gel" argument anymore. These guys have had enough time. Mike Miller and Eric Dampier arent going to make that big of a difference

    Cleveland getting housed by the Pacers. 62-37 at the half. Pacers are an odd team, they look really good at times and really bad at others.
  • Commander of Awesome
    37 to 62 is a god damn joke. No excuse. I can't watch the game, nor do I care what the box score says. That is a pathetic showing, and they should be ashamed. The Pacers are not that good.

    Cavs have just looked flat all night. I dont know what their deal is.

    Anthony Parker is easily the worst starting SG in the league. I'm sick of watching that guy

    I'm not really watching too closely, I have it muted on the TV, but everytime I look up the Pacers are either missing a shot off the side of the backboard or turning the ball over, I have no clue how they have 62 points. Its been sloppy on both ends.

    Cavs rotations have been awful. The Pacers are getting way too many open looks. Cavs just didnt come out ready to play basketball tonight...bottom line. They arent a title contender but they are a much better team than this.
  • karen lotz
    Yeah I figured they'd be able to take care of a Pacers team that was in Miami last night.
  • Laley23
    Shocked the Pacers are beating the Cavs this bad. I expected a letdown.
  • like_that
    I am not, they are pretty confident after beating the overrated heat.
  • KR1245
    Cavs came out flat and the Pacers took advantage of it. I realize that the Cavs arent an elite team anymore but they are better than what they showed tonight.

    Dude is flat out strokin' it lately.

    4/5 tonight from 3. And I don't think any of the 4 have touched rim.
  • 2quik4u
    u mean 5/6
  • wildcats20
    Make that he is 5/6 from the field and 4/4 from 3 now. And seriously, he is ON FIRE. He's got a hand in his face and he isn't touching rim.

    Yeah, east is way down this year. The difference in standings is ridiculous. Their record would only translate to like 7th or 8th in the west.
    Did anyone see Phil Jackson's comments? In an interview with a radio station in Chicago he said something like 'if Spoesltra doesn't improve quickly he's going to be fired' -- something along those lines. Classic zenmaster.

    And to think he couldnt even make the rotation on the Cavs...smh

    I was so mad when the Cavs picked him up in the draft, he was one of my favorite college players and the Suns were a few picks behind Cleveland and they would of fit Shannons style PERFECT.
  • wildcats20
    I would agree HB.

    Shannon is really becoming a solid player in the triangle.

    I think he is still behind Roy Hibbert, Eric Gordon, and Kevin Love.
