OKC just wasted a 41, 16, and 12 night from Westbrook. By far was his best game of the year. Very very efficient

Ibaka with the dagger.

Just saw that Wiggins went for 47 tonight

Yeah, the guy destroyed us...

He was having one of those crazy games where everything just worked and it didn't matter who was on him.

Pacers gotta win this one tomorrow. Orlando is coming off an emotional high in this nail-biting win in OKC, not to mention in a back-to-back situation.

I'm going to start to lose confidence in McMillan if we don't win this one.

If the Lakers win between 35 and 40 this season, I am going to be a happy camper. 35+ wins sets them up for a winning season next year and right now they are looking close to playoff status. I am very happy

What a return to OKC for Ibaka. 31, 9, and 4. Also shot hit the likely game winner unless OKC pull a rabbit out of the hat with .4 left

He's the key player on that team not named westbrook.

They're close enough now to attract a top free agent in the offseason.

That was the reason, the Lakers wanted 30 wins with Scott last year, but now we have one more first round draft pick and that is like extra gravy for the train. The Lakers will be there next season and they might make the playoffs this year

“Big guys like the paint,” Frye said. “I make them allergic to it. It’s just kind of how it is. You know when you have that train [James] down there or when Kevin [Love’s] going, Kyrie’s going, their big guy ... wants to help. But he can’t help. So he’s got to come to Frye-land. Just sit out there with me. So it’s a pick-your-poison kind of thing. I think when we’re all going, we’re all hitting, it’s pretty tough to guard.”

you had to win 41 games to make the playoffs in the west last year. (44 in the East)

My goodness, has anyone else noticed the Greek Freak's numbers?

21, 8 and 5.

The Bucks got an absolute steal in the draft and in not paying him the Max.

I hope Middleton can come back strong to give this kid some help so he's not a wasted commodity like Anthony Davis.

I don't think the Lakers cared about that - they just needed 30 wins or more to attract players like KD into signing. It would have indicated that with one or two good super-stars, they would be contenders.

KD?

Come on...

The guy is Championship or bust. He was not signing with the Clippers nor Boston, let alone a 30 win Lakers Team.

I said players like him - He's kind of past his prime any way and I like what the Lakers are doing without a big agent signing. This young team is really improved this year. I would be afraid of messing up their chemistry like KD did to the Warriors

When Middleton comes back, the Bucks will be scary. Parker is scoring more efficiently too. I can see that trio doing some damage.

Dude, are you being serious?

KD is not passed his prime.

He is 28 years old...Lmao.

But, the Chemistry concerns are legit.

Boogie will be a free agent soon.

Not sure what your cap is like. But, he fits the Laker mode of dominant bigs.

To bad he has all that empty space between his ears.

I would worry more about adding him than Durant.

Nothing in this post is serious right?

Yeah, I like that trio.

If they could flip Monroe for a shooter or a competent Pg, they could make some noise.
