Yeah I was going to say the schedule gets more difficult. I'd like to see how we match up against Miami. Indiana killed us but I think we match up well with them when we are at full strength.

In the West, I thought we would be 2-3 by the time the season ended, however I thought the teams that would be ahead were the Spurs and Clips. OKC is the team to beat and I wouldn't like a matchup with the Clippers, but I've said all year that we are going to continue to get better as guys get use to playing together and roles become defined. I'm a little worried about backcourt depth and would like to see us find a way to add one more wing player, but as constructed we are going from a playoff team to potential title contender. Still a long way to go, but Dwight, James and Chandler look like a scary big 3 with nice complementary pieces around them. It's going to be an exciting second half.

Asik really is the key to playoff success. If the team can rally around him and convince him how big of a part he will need to play as the regular season closes and to make a deep run into the playoffs, he could be huge for them if he buys in.

here's my top guys I'd look to add at the deadline:

1 Ariza
2 dunleavy
3 knicks pacakage consisting of hardaway jr/shumpert/chandler
4. Ilyasova/Neal
5, Andre Miller - pending Lin or Beverly being shipped ou4.
6. MT5

Guys I think have the best chance to be traded:
1. asik
2. Lin
3. Montiejunas
4, Casspi
5. Smtih
6. Beverly

I read somewhere that Brooks and Garcia have no trade clauses.

Not getting ariza. Wiz are in the playoffs.

I'd give you guys EG for Lin&asik&a switch of yall's 1st pick for our 2nd

Asik's value has been sharply dropping.

Rockets need to put together a godfather offer for Kevin Love.

He wants to play in LA supposedly. He would be a beast in Houston.

i'd probably do that, let EG come off the bench as the 6th man and light it up, but i think morey would stay away because of his contract length. Houston is tryin to clear space for 2015, I think Gordon has a players option that year.

Terrible. Pels can't even give EG away, but you think the Rockets would give up Lin, Asik and a 1st round pick? EG wouldn't be much of an upgrade over Lin anyway.

Lakers are getting murdered on the boards and Chris Kaman is playing like a bitch.

At one point tonight the Lakers had this unit on the floor:

Kelly/Hill/Sacre/Meeks/Marshall

Has there been a worse 5 man unit on the court at any point in this NBA season so far? I'd love to see it. Insane how far this team has fallen.

I would just like it to be known that the 'LakersNation' Twitter, which has 238,000 followers had this to say after Parsons, Beverly, and Howard were joining in on the "Howard sucks" chants

"Hey Chandler Parsons, let me know when you make the All-Star team. Thanks."



They do realize who their active roster consists of right? Geez and while getting blown the frick out.

Lakers Nation will not be able to sleep tonight because of the amount of butthurt they have.

Tough loss tonight. Harden hit a go ahead jumper with 7 seconds left and then Curry gets a layup with 3 seconds left. Had a few chances to win, but Harden missed an open 3 at the end of regulation and Parsons got stuffed by old arse Jermain O'Neal in OT.

Was the start of a rough 12 game schedule. Hopefully we can come out of it with at least 5 wins.

Kidding right? Only winning 5 would be a huge disappointment. ANything less than 7 wins would be.

Rockets played terrible and still could have won that game.

Damn you Curry.

We battled, but yes, we could've/should've won. Some of those plays down the stretch (Casspi passing on the open look) made me cringe.
