We got Ramon Sessions from Cleveland, he's a true point guard and an upgrade on D Fish.

Darkon · 16-03-12, 08:14 AM

Most are an upgrade on him now a days

Who did they trade to get Sessions?

Just like I said they would

Rose is simply amazing and even though you may disagree imo he will be in a very close contention to be the MVP this year again.

Not sure that I agree. Fisher is a clutch player and his experience expecially in the playoffs will be difficult to replace.

Darkon · 16-03-12, 12:35 PM

Nah, Fischer is old and have been gash all season for them. Big improvement for Lakers IMO.

Mostar · 17-03-12, 01:20 AM

We'll need to disagree on that one. Fisher is made for playoffs not for the regular season.

He steps up when needed and that is tough to compensate.

He delivered for them year in and year out and he is a proven winner.

Imo they got rid of him too soon.

In summer yes but imo not a good decision now with playoffs just around the corner.

Sessions is exactly the type of pg they need. Dude puts them on a plate for the big guys but can't shoot for shit....which suits Kobe fine.

Watch brown start Steve fucking Blake though

Agreed, he's embarrassingly bad now. A complete liability.

Durant was great for OKC last night, had a monster dunk after a good move

OKC plays the Heat today, should be very interesting.

Indeed, on at 2 am unfortunatly :/

Kentucky-Baylor to go to NOLA coming up shortly. No number one seeds through yet.

UK looks like a pro team but will Calipari choke again?

Did you watch it? Just saw the highlights on nba.com, and looks like OCT really stuck it to the Heat and got a well deserved victory.

little dave hedgehog · 26-03-12, 07:31 AM

my facebook is constantly filled with oct bullshit, since i grew up nearby and there is nothing else to talk about there.

Hollowman · 27-03-12, 01:08 PM

Wade's three-quarter swish was still fucking nice, mind.

Darkon · 22-04-12, 10:28 PM

OKC are hammering Lakers tonight, very impressive performance.

World Peace

(perhaps the only time to say that legitimatly :P

Darkon · 23-04-12, 07:07 AM

great comeback by the Lakers

Chris · 28-04-12, 10:35 PM

Lebron putting on a clinic. The East is already done if the early reports about Rose doing his ACL are true though I'd have favoured the Heat anyway.

Is that what Rose has done? heard he got carried off earlier

Both Rose and Howard will miss the Olympics then

The official word is he's off for an MRI scan. Just twitter rumours the ACL stuff at the moment, did look bad though.

Dont write off the Celtics just yet.. their experience might just see them make an amazing push unlikley but should make a good series

Chris · 28-04-12, 11:38 PM

Bulls have confirmed it is an ACL and he's out for the play offs. Will struggle to play again this year I'd have thought.

Chazza · 01-05-12, 10:43 AM

Miami go 2 up in the series and then Stoudemire punches a glass cabinet slashing up his hand and is likely to be out for the season

little dave hedgehog · 01-05-12, 03:49 PM

lol.

Chazza · 04-05-12, 10:35 AM

Miami smashed New York 87-70 to go 3 nil up last night

Oklahoma have also gone 3-0 in the series against Dallas

Chazza · 07-05-12, 02:58 PM

Mavs are done, beaten 4-0 by OKC

Bulls look like they might be going as well 3-1 down to Philadelphia

Darkon · 07-05-12, 03:37 PM

Rose was to big a loss for the Bulls.

Lakers, Spurs and Boston also looking good to advance.

Darkon · 08-05-12, 08:47 AM

Spurs through as well now 4-0 in the series.

Darkon · 09-05-12, 08:07 AM

Indiana going through, wonder how long Howard is going to waste in Orlando?

Given his very public spat with Van Gundy one or the other will be going shortly

Darkon · 09-05-12, 08:28 AM

True. It will be hard for Orlando to keep Howard in the long run, so perhaps it's better for them to just trade him now? He could really add a lot to most teams and I think he wants a move to a Championship challenging club.

Darkon · 11-05-12, 07:21 AM

Bulls out, couldn't cope with the loss of Rose.

Lakers now tied with Nuggets! Would be a huge upset if they lost this series.

Chazza · 11-05-12, 08:12 AM

Clutch free throws from Igudala to win it for Philly

As for the Lakers they need Gasol and Bynam to step up and score some points, relying on Bryant to do everything

Darkon · 11-05-12, 08:36 AM

He might be one of the best players to ever play in the NBA, but he can't carry the team on his back.

Lakers are not that well going, and if they should go through I can't see the going past Oklahoma right now.

Chazza · 11-05-12, 09:23 AM

Very true

Forgot that World Peace is back for game 7 so that might give them an extra edge

You would really fancy OKC to turn them over in the semis

Chazza · 22-05-12, 10:45 PM

Lakers gone OKC winning the series 4 to 1

On another note Stan Van Gundy gone from Orlando so Howard has won that power struggle, unless he fucks off and leaves them in a right old mess

Darkon · 23-05-12, 07:17 AM

Spurs vs OKC is a good matchup, going to look forward to that.

Miami is favorite against Pacers after overtaking them and I reckon Boston will go through as well. More or less the best conference finals that could be had.
