    OKC was up 10 points, under 2 min remaining in the 4th.

    Now they're down 5 in OT.

    I have to say, if Liliard had to guard WB all night, he wouldn't have the legs to do what he's doing.

    Rondo is a good example of subtraction by addition.

    Bad offensive foul call on Ibaka. Don't understand why the NBA still insists on calling this kind of crap

    Exactly. Rondo would have been awful for us.

    OKC now can only get the 8th spot most likely. Losing games like this hurt them from going further up the standings.

    I feel bad for whoever is the #1 seed, barring OKC is fully healthy.

    No. You obviously don't watch the Blazers on a regular basis.

    One thing you have to give Lillard is his shot selection has improved this year. He still chucks and takes dumb shots, but not as often. Sprinkle in some ridiculous clutch shooting and he's off to a great start.

    Indeed. If he keeps it up, this season will be on another level.

    Kobe does not approve of the Ibaka - LMA "fight"

    Agree. As long as Anthony Davis is healthy, New Orleans will go at least .500 the rest of the way. Spurs and OKC may be in a dogfight for the 8th spot. Who would've thought it.

    Phoenix and NO will be out. OKC will be in. If Spurs stay in the 7th spot, then I would feel sorry for whoever is the #1 and #2 seed.

    I think this is the year that is best to get the 4th/5th seed lol in the west.

    Portland is one tough team. Incredibly clutch and always fighting. Two clutch overtime wins on this tough road trip. I don't want to face this team again in a series.

    Lol, never said he was bad. Just that people putting him in elite status are wrong. 6 assist, and he's still not the level of playmaker as say Harden is. Any guy can just get assist to have them, Iverson proved that.

    Got to face the best...regardless...

    Houston was jobbed twice on their home court by refs...who promptly issued apologies...and LMA would not score as much as he did...Period. I would love to see them again..preferably later in the playoffs so...winning against them would actually inflict them some real pain...;)
