I love how Malone just can watch his team lose a damn near 20 point lead to the Kings just like he watched his team lose a 15+ point lead to the Blazers in game 7 at Home. Wtf. Dude is the worst coach when it comes to having a lead but one of the best when it comes to facing a deficit. Makes ZERO sense.

If they had left Harden in he may have scored 80 or more... he damn near had 30 in the third quarter alone...
Reminds me of Kobe's 81. About a week or so before he dropped 81 on the Raptors, he had a game where he dropped like 60 something on somebody by the end of the 3rd and Phil didn't play him at all in the fourth because the lead was so huge. And the commentators were going off wondering how many he could have had if he played in the fourth.

At the pace Harden was going he could have easily dropped 80 or more if he played in the last quarter. Especially with the Hawks defense being on the back of milk carton right now.

It's crazy to me because a few weeks ago Jalen Rose was on his show and he said that with Harden's shooting volume and ability to get hot and get to the line he's gonna erupt for like 90 points...

Then Jacoby told him he just wanted somebody else to beat Kobe's 81 so his Raptors will be forgotten

Dallas and it was 62. He outscored the entire Mavs team at that point

Good luck Jalen. There are kids growing up now who only know Jalen Rose for being the dude that Kobe dropped 81 on. :lol:
Someone would go on his wikipedia page and write that.

I really want to see him drop 90 on the Knicks. There is a delusional Knicks fan at work who swears they are still going to turn it around this season and make the playoffs :rolleyes:
Seeing Harden go off for 90 on the Knicks would put him on suicide watch. :lol:

The Lakers has had the softest 1st 20 games of the season in league. They're 17-3 after losing to the Mavs today. The only 2 teams they beat over .500 are the Jazz and the Heat. They've feasted on teams under .500 so it'll be interesting to see how they play with tougher competition

**correction, they beat the Mavs early this season too so they've only beat 3 teams with a.500 or better recod.**

The Lakers are playing good team ball, focusing on winning, Lebron and Davis not pressing like they used to years ago.

They are playing more natural. That's why i have always Lebron and Magic is a better comparison, this is the first time I have seen Lebron play more focused and under control. Just distribute, coast, and win, do not waste energy on rebounds, got 2 HOF Rebounder's and 7 footer to do all that dirty work.

Now he is just being himself, and can coast and stay healthy for the playoffs. If they play off each other like this, can possibly win 2 or 3 more rings.
We need another point and more team chemistry time. AD and Bron have been holding it down but we need Kuz, Green and the rest more involved.

Was anybody watching the Mavs Lakers game? Mavs ended the Lake Show winning streak.
Yeah. The Lakers need more balance. Sometimes it looks like 2 against 5 and playing some of these teams it works. The other Lakers were off today and the rotation on defense and communication was bad.

As long as they keep winning the ones they supppsed to they'll be fine. I knew the streak would end soon, didnt think itd be the wack Mavs to do it.

Mavs shot the 3 well and the supporting cast couldn't buy a bucket. I hate wasting LeBron on a shit game like this. I think Frank left him and AD in there too long.

Oh and Luka is better than I thought he would be. That cac is going to make some allstar teams.

No they didn't. Did you look at Boston's schedule?

It was like the 10th easiest.

Luka is no joke, gotta respect his game, especially only at 20. Imagine his game at 25...

When it wasn’t?
When it was basically inevitable to see Lebron vs the Warriors in the Finals. So basically like the last 5 years.
Yeah, I admit as a Cavs fan that shit must have been boring for everyone else. When bitch ass Durant went to GS, that shit just killed it though.

Even though I don't like the big bitch, wish he were healthy so we could see what NJ is about.

I check the score in the 4th with maybe 8 mins to go....
The lakers had scored on 29 points in that second have and the mavs dropped 35 on the 3rd....

seem like they just came out flat after the intermission....

Thank you bruh. Fans of the Cavs/Lebron and Warriors act like they couldn't see why fans of other teams hated that shit. It's not like we didn't like Lebron or Curry but to know that your team basically didn't have a shot to make it to the 'ship was annoying for real diehard fans. And YES, KD going to Golden State pissed me the fuck off. I knew what time it was, we all did.

Seems like Mavs wanted the Lakers to beat them from 3. I ain’t gonna lie I thought Luka at best was gonna be Ginobilli. I thought he was gonna be a bust.
