Someone get kicked off the Piston bandwagon? The DumbNation bandwagon has been full for about 2 years.

Definitely watching the Warrior game. Go Grizzlies. Highlights will be everywhere of Kobe's last game and it isn't exactly record breaking.

Not a fan of Kobe but that would be pretty awesome if he went out like that.

Tonight it won't happen. They are at OKC.

But Wednesday is against Utah. So it's a possibility he goes out in style, similar to last night's throw back performance against Houston.

I'd love for Kobe to put up 30 points on greater than 45% shooting and have more than 5 assists. That would truly be impressive.

Odds are, he will have a below average game and he will retire into the sunset.

"Russell Westbrook with his 18th triple-double of the season, and this one comes with 20 seconds left... in the first half. That's the most triple-doubles since Magic had 18 in 1981-82."

Missed by who? The Masters seemed to do okay without Tiger. The Lakers suck with and without Kobe. The Broncos are on pace to start a pile of shit pudding at QB so probably Peyton. But he was just as washed up as Kobe is.

Playoffs pretty well set as far as who will be in except for 8th seed in west. Jazz and Rockets tied for final spot. Rockets host Kings Wednesday night and that has to be an easy win. Cousins and Rondo have been checked out for a couple weeks. Jazz on the other hand have to play at Lakers for Kobe's last game.

Who owns the tiebreak? I think both of those teams will win pretty easily.

Looks like they've split 2-2. So then what happens if they tie? I could see Utah slipping up.

The tie-breaker is record vs the conference.

Houston wins they are in. Utah needs a win and a Houston loss vs Sacramento.
