Pistons 3-0 without J Smoove, its the Rudy Gay effect. they're winning games they would've lost in the beginning of the year
The Nuggets are such a weird team. Often they look pretty good. Tonight, losing to the Lakers big. Lakers shooting really hot at the 3 while Nugs missing everything there helps, too.

I hope that's the reason. Dallas did lose to Phoenix a few weeks back and then the next night, we pummeled them at home. Like I said in the Wizards thread last night, the Charlotte game will be a good indicator for how bad the Rockets are playing right now. If they lose(or struggle to beat) that team, then we can push the panic button.
Denver got Lakers lead down to 5. Proceeds to foul Kobe shooting 3. Then Nate Robinson b****ed to the ref and got a T. 4 FTs to Kobe. He made 3. Then Lakers got a stop and a score. Lead back to 10 just like that.
