How fucking stupid was that of Wall to make that last free throw. Kobe damn near made him pay.

What if he misses and the Lakers hit a full court shot to win it? You have to make the free-throw.

No way. A tie does you no good. If that games goes to OT there is no way WA wins it. 1.5 seconds left and no timeouts.....miss the second and there is no shot at the basket. By making the free throw they gave the Lakers time to make a full court pass to Kobe AND Kobe enough time to get a decent shot off. Just miss the second free throw and all you have is time to rebound and a throw down court. Not a real shot. A basket for a tie = a win for the Lakers
 
Please. If Washington could come back from 18 down then they we certainly good enough to win an overtime perio.
 
If we beat OKC and Dallas beats Utah, There will be three way tie for 9th at 34-36. We have two games coming up against at Utah. And Dallas comes to Rose Garden.

You let the home team go the length of the floor in 1.5 seconds with no timeouts and your money is on the road team in OT? I will take that bet every time. I would be pissed if the Blazers did that. You don't play for the tie when you are an underdog on the road. Unless you are the team that is down.

The Los Angeles Lakers are now 6-12 in games when they've played their Big Four of Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, Steve Nash and Pau Gasol.

Does anyone have the consecutive games with a steal records?

I tried googling it, but I had a hard time finding any real list.

HCP... any knowledge on that FAMS?

I just saw Conley had his 59th straight game with a steal.

The Grizz slipped from #3 to #5 in the West with a bad loss to the Hornets, but I was driving all day and night, so I missed it and can't really give a comment on how they're playing. I just think 59 straight games with a steal is ridiculous. Where does that stack up all-time?
 
You can do this for only 6 seasons at a time, so I checked one and you can do the rest. In 1985-91, the record was 108 straight games. Alvin Robertson.

Chris Paul had an 83 game streak from 2007 to 2008. Payton had a 59 game streak in the early 90s, that's all I have the patience to find.

I understand that. I was just making a comment about strategy at the end of ball games. I thought it was an interesting discussion point.

Wall looked to his coach to see what he wanted to do, because he wasn't sure. The LA announcers assumed he would miss it on purpose because it was the logical thing to do. But they told him to make it and my comment was that it was stupid, because it gave Kobe time for a turn around 24' jumper to keep the Lakers alive. A shot we have seen him make many times before. The alternative was an 85' throw by probably Dwight after the rebound. Wouldn't most of you prefer seeing the Laker's big men taking a full court throw (even if it meant losing if it went in) as opposed to a 24'-25' shot by Kobe? (For the tie) There is no question in my mind what I would have done. Miss the freaking free throw!

As funny as it sounds there is an art form to missing that kind of free throw the right way as well so as to make it difficult to handle the rebound cleanly and therefor wasting more precious clock time.
 
@nbastats: .@aldridge_12 has hit 20+pts, 10+rebs mark in 6 of his last 7. Now has 34 double-doubles in 67 games after having 13 in 55 last season

Yeah I am surprised they don't practice it. Not every day or every week. But maybe once in a while at the end of their free throw shooting sessions they all learn how to either bounce it hard off the side of the rim so you have a chance at an offensive rebound, or bounce it high so it takes more time off the clock.

Nuggets have won 15 straight, ties the longest in franchise history, longest in their NBA tenure. 2.5 back of OKC for the division suddenly.

What if he tries to miss it but throws an air ball? Ball out of bounds and Lakers could win it.
 
Sad news about Marc Gasol. Good news for us if he skips the home game we have against them coming up.
 
And yet again, OKC's path to the finals keeps on getting more and more open. MEM was the one team in the west who had a legit shot at beating them
 
Is Gasol's injury really that bad? I've been totally out of touch with the NBA world for the last week, being in New Orleans. I just got in town last night, as the Grizz/Hornets game was wrapping up, and I was watching all NCAA today. Could this be season ending?

Believe it or not, I'm in the dark on this one atm, but I hope it's nothing serious, because that's the Grizz's season if it's true.

An abdominable tear isn't good. Remember how excited you were about Duncan's injury? Karma is a bitch.

Go Blazers
