@mannybeingmanny: It's gotta be like waking up after a bad dream. "Did...did that really happen?"

@Weed Against Speed: Grooooan!

@Weed Against Speed: Wait. Which one can form the blazing sword?

@7-8 Deville: What's the recommended daily dose of Thaba Sefolosha?

@Chief Illiniwek: It's close. Very close.

@ghostsoftheSCupcountry: I just looked at their schedule. They only need four more wins, and they have games left against Seattle, Minny, New York, and Indiana. I say they do it.

@futuremrsrickankiel: Agreed!

@Moobs: Didn't you get the feeling that KG was saying to the Suns, "You shoulda traded Amare for me, straight up"?

@MattinglysSideburns: Personally, I think it's the banana peeling thing...

@The_Unknown_Sutter_Brother: Gonna have to agree with you, totally. CP-MVP.

@Brazil Thrill: Dude, that is awesome. I put it up on Basketbawful.

The Bobcats went 2-0 in LA this year, while I attended both games. Coincidence? Can't be.

No, you have to be more than solid for that type of honour. And that has happened with Chris Paul's help. And he came up with the nickname too?

There is nothing he can't do.

I don't know if our love for Ocho comes from his quick thinking, smooth passing or the fact that his simian-like appearance gives you the impression that he can peel a banana with his feet.

There's no way the NBA doesn't give it to Kobe. They will figure Paul's got a lot of years left to win it and Kobe is playing great so...why not.

Not sure if I agree with the logic, but I can't see it going down any other way.

Paul's going to win it, Kobe 2nd, Garnett 3rd.

But man, Raptors fans sure don't like TJ. And we love us some Numero Ocho.

Of course, the booing came after Bosh scored on 4 or 5 consecutive possessions, TJ comes in and immediately chucks up a pair of three-point bricks.

Faint praise like that is somewhere on par with the coach who yells "Good hustle!" at the fat kid on your basketball team, because what else are you really going to say?

"Strawberry! Hit a home run!" "Okay, Coach!"
