i actually think Skip's right on that one Mark Sanchez isn't that great imo.
Tebow will lead the Jets into the playoffs. xD

Hmm I actually expected a W :O Damnn thats ridiculous, way too many turnovers and terrible transition defense :\



Call me crazy but I like Melo's game



Will this be some sort of playoff predicition game? :O

i didnt say he had bad game, cus he is top 10 players in the league, but he was *****ing when he was a denver that he didnt have another big time player next to him and now that hes with Amare he cant share the ball

they can make the playoffs as a wild card but it wont be because of Tebow, i agree that Sanchez isnt great but the jets dont need a great QB to make they playoffs, they just need someone to manage the offense which could be any second rate QB they put in

that was real strong supporting cast, if he couldnt get it done with them i really dont see melo ever getting a ring

Problem was Iverson and Melo are both black holes. Once they get the ball it's going towards the basket. Both on the same team dismantles the ball movement of the team. In plus, Iverson never really played well off the ball basketball. Melo not much either, but lately he's been playing excellent defense and off the ball basketball.

Lakers right now playing amazing basketball. Gasol with a triple double, Bynum with 31 points, and everyone just playing an extremely stellar game. I hate to say it but this was good for Kobe. He got hurt but got to see his players play, allowing him to trust them much more. As long as they don't stop producing once Kobe gets back into the game, I don't see anyone stopping the Lakers. Maybe except for the Heat or Bulls. OKC too I guess, but not as much. The twin towers of the Lakers can pound teams so bad.

[josemz]

the only one that are gonna be troublesome for the lakers are the okc in the west and the heat in the east if they make it to the finals

What about the Spurs?

[SynergY]

The Spurs are great, but they will get destroyed in the paint if Lakers play up to standard. Bynum and Gasol are already difficult to handle individually, together on the floor at the same time is even more of a difficult task. Add in the Kobe factor and the Laker triple threat is a level above the Spurs to me. Unless Tony Parker consistently plays like he did last night.
The big men of the Spurs would have to front Bynum and Gasol perfectly for a whole playoff series. That's too big of an ask imo.
