For what it's worth, I'd make it Memphis, given how much of an impact how they go could have on whether the Suns make the playoffs or not.

With a healthy Marc Gasol back I do think they are the better team. Plus our schedule is harder. It's going to be tough.

Yep, on last night's ESPN telecast they were saying the Suns were the most likely to fall out of the playoff picture in the West. I didn't like to hear it but I have to agree we're the most likely just on talent level alone. It'll be interesting to see if/when Bledsoe comes back and what kind of an impact he makes on us. It's going to be really tough in this deep Western Conference and our tough strength of schedule.

The games @Utah and against the Wolves could very well be the soap of this season, and we dropped it. The team should have rebounded strong after Houston but it was the opposite, and here we are. 50% won't cut it for us by any means, so unless something changes our chances don't look good anymore.

By the way, ESPN (Broussard) has an article on the most over and under rated players in the L. It could make for a good topic if somebody had access to the names discussed.

How lame is it that Charlotte waived Ben Gordon too late for him to join a playoff team? That just seems spiteful.

I see what you're saying, but if he wouldn't agree to take less in a buyout, why would they waive him in time for him to join a team that might be fighting them for a playoff spot.

Good question, but that's the kind of thing players around the league notice.

How good is Joakim Noah? Man I'd have loved to somehow acquire him.

He's really awesome. Maybe the most underrated player in basketball. Or are people finally catching on?

I'd also love to try and buy low on Jimmy Butler, he's had a moderately disappointing year. At worst you get a great defender with offensive upside.

Lowe was saying that at some point after Noah's rookie year they offered him to Kings for Hawes straight up and the Kings said no.

I don't know. The Warriors continue to underachieve. The Mavs really can lose to anyone on any give night. I think all four teams that are in the hunt for the final three spots each have their own issues that work against them.

What say old horse?

73-40 at the half. Clips over the other LA team on national TV, nice call NBA.

Holy crapola - 111-64 Clips over Lakers early in the 4th.

It isn't the 124-59 annihilation Indiana dished to Portland over a decade ago, but it's close enough - wow.

141-91....For those keeping score at home

Wow - 142-94 Clips. Lakers destroyed by 48.

Love it.

Yeah, too bad our game sucked and had no energy. Good call is right.

Though O & 45 trumps it.

Suns are irrelevent to this equation. The Lakers banners, though, does trump it. But in the present? Terrible showing.
