Kuzma wrecked Detroit tonight.

I could look it up, but when was the last time the Lakers and Clippers both made the playoffs the same year?

Without looking up, i think it was around 2006ish

Nah I believe there was some overlap from Kobe and Blake/CP3

Yep you are correct. Just did quick research. They both made the playoffs (2nd round exits for both teams) during the 2011-2012 season. Prior to that, it last happened during the 2005-2006 season which is what I was thinking of

@Stakesarehigh Pistons are blowing this up by the trade deadline right?

Andre showed last night why he has to go. 16 boards but a total liability offensively. Maybe he can thrive on a team that requires very little of him on the offensive end. He is such a strange trade prospect I have no idea what the return is.

Kuzma might be a star one day.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

I know the Pistons flirted with the idea of Beal for Drummond. I can't see the Wizards doing it at this point but maybe both teams need that kind of change

Hmmmmmmm........Detroit might have to include something else.

Kobe Kuzma with 41 points in 3 quarters.

@TurnUpTheHeat your boy celebrated his birthday last night with his high as a Laker with 19 points.

I'd think they may have to figure out how to take on Mahmini contract and throw in Stanley or Kennard (if they want them).

Just spitballing but the only other option I can see is keeping it together and trying like hell to get something for Kennard/Stanley and a pick.

I cant believe neither can beat out Brown for a starting spot. Pathetic.

Boston's first 20 games: 10-10 record
Boston's next 20 games: 14-6 record (which included a 3 game losing streak where all of Baynes, Horford and Morris were injured at the same time)

The difference? Offense.

All of a sudden, C's are offensive juggernaut

Back in late November, just a short time after Kyrie Irving cussed out Thanksgiving, the Celtics sat 27th in the NBA with an anemic offensive rating of 104.6. Their offensive inconsistencies contributed to Boston’s 10-10 record over those first 20 games and, if not for some very good defense, it could have been a lot worse when you consider the three teams behind Boston in offensive efficiency at that point were a combined 13-46 (.220 winning percentage).

Over the last 20 games, Boston owns the NBA’s top offensive rating in averaging 117.4 points per 100 possessions. That’s 2 points better than their nearest competition (the James Harden-fueled Rockets) in that span. It’s also 3.7 points better than the Golden State Warriors’ NBA-leading offensive rating of 113.7 for the season.

Me too. Not a fan of these new unis.

They should wear the gold at home except for the white unis they wear on Sunday and purple on the road. Nothing else.

For a team like the Lakers who is about tradition, I agree.

I'm ok with the Purple once in a blue at home but they wear it more frequently than the gold which is freaking weird

It's the Fountain of Youth.....LMAO.
