The Kings are stuck playing in the afternoon on Sunday.

Saturday is a Clippers/Lakers double header. Clips play at 3:30 and Lakers late.

I'm actually surprised that they have a Kings/NBA double header. That's gotta be crazy hard on the arena staff.

Clips/Lakers is really no big deal. Just swap the court and tables out. And turn the lights WAY down.

Theres nothing positive about game 1, and Game 2, Harden and Westbrook have horrible shooting games and you lead by 6 or 7 with like 2 minutes left and choke it away. Now you are playing back to back games at home against a younger team. Its not a great scenario to me
Agree with this. Not sure what positives the Lakers can take from this. They choked away a good lead in the final couple minutes against a team that was struggling on offense all night.

All this tells me is that OKC can turn it on against LAL whenever they want.

It's so weird to watch a Clippers game. Literally they don't turn on the lights during Laker games, except during timeouts lol.

I have a cool story bro, story. Lol

So watching the lakers game
At this little bar beside the ticket gate at LAX. Game ends, and laker fans are suddenly quiet. The guy beside me
Gets up and walks off. So another guy sits down and says "man I love seeing LA lose". That guy? Darren McFadden. One
Extremely nice dude. Talked with me all the way up till the time we boarded our flight to Oakland. As soon as we
Stood up from the bar, I bet 10 different ppl asked for
Pics with him. He took one with all of them. Wife took one with him holdin our baby girl, so when we get back to Honolulu I'll post it.
That's all... Lol

Just heard on the radio that Kobe hasn't hit a game winner(shot to take the lead with under 10 secs) in the playoffs since 2006. It is interesting because of the perception of Lebron being a choker (which I agree with) and Kobe being clutch.

Its different kind of choking though. Kobe mans up and chokes, LeBron hides and chokes.

I still cant figure it out, because in the Cavs first couple runs in the playoffs, LeBron was not like this. I dont know when it happened that he started to bitch out.

I'm guessing it started because he felt bad about leaving Cleveland. Wanted to give all the butthurt fans something to be happy about.

yeah, but I wouldn't call Kobe a choker at all. It just shows how tough it is to hit a game winner. Lebron just seems like he has no desire to even try.

Kobe isn't a choker. It's impossible to make every game winning shot you tale. The point is, he's not scared to take it.

LBJ is, hell, he's scared to drive the lane and get fouled late in games and we saw why during game two. "clank, clank"

Hmmmm...been saying that for awhile now but what do I know? I'm just a "butthurt Cleveland fan." :rolleyes: He did the same thing when he was here.
