How good is Washington? 19-6 with some decent wins.

I think the best part of how that game ended was just how you knew Kobe was going to chuck up the final shot, even though virtually every single player on the Lakers was having a better game. They had 5-6 players in double figures. He wasn't one of them. He was something like 4-15 from the field. So, of course, he was taking the final shot.

Kobe is washed up. His legacy will be more on how you fucked over the Lakers for a paycheck than his ability to piggy back dominate big men to championships.

This has been the Lakers for the past 3-4 years. Kobe taking all of the payroll and all of the shots and losing.

And so much for the entertaining "watching SVG's head explode watching Smith's shot selection" lines columnists have been using this year.

Sadness...

Kobe has nearly missed more shots than Dirk has even attempted all year, insane.

Kobe sits out tonight's game, they are winning by 20 against the team with the best record in the NBA.

And won. With 7 guys in double figures and 28 team assists. Interesting what can happen when one guy isn't jacking up 30 shots despite being ice cold.

Lillard is fun to watch. He can score with the best of the West. Saw someone's list on top pgs he wasn't top 5...he should be shouldn't he?

Rondo isn't top 10 imo. I wouldn't put Parker there either but he has a better argument.

CP
Westbrook
Curry
Lillard
Lowry
Conley
Wall
Rose
Irving
Bledsoe

Top 5.

Lbj
Durrant
The Brow (though I think he needs to take games over more. Wish he had a better pg to give him the ball.)
Curry

He's def in the conversation. I had a real tough time deciding who was 5 so I didn't list it lol.

The Grizz have the best record in the NBA since Gasol came back in the middle of last year. Then he lost 20+ pounds and has somehow become even better. It's not even a question for me (whether he's top 5), I have him 4 and Curry 5.

I love me some gasol. Dpoy as well. Cousins was a player I was debating on as he's really impressed me this season. I'm inclined to agree with you on gasol at 5 though.

Cousins has been beasting this year. Really sucks he got that viral infection that cost his coach his job. Those are the negatives of playing for a crazy owner though. For the near future I see Cousins as one of those top 10 guys who is always on the fringe closer to 5 than 10.
