Lots to talk about, not much time to do it as far as the end of the season is fast approaching…

• In what amazingly enough seems like an act of revenge, the s… sorry – the Sonics defeated the Denver Nuggets in 2OT the other day, 151-147. Thereby earning the right to use a capital ‘S’ once again. Well done sSonics (sorry, hard to break the habit)!
• The Clippers continue to look woeful. After a promising games at the start of the season, everything’s gone pear-shaped with little LA. A 26 point loss to the Rockets – who had themselves looked to be in bit of a tailspin post The Streak – really highlights what’s a very disappointing season.
• The Lakers 22 point win over Sacramento has me feeling a little better. Vlad (“Looks like Borat & he’s good from 3…”) Radmanovic getting double figures in rebounds is awesome stuff… and Gasol’s getting refueled. Still… I am more confident about next season, rather than this one. Hopefully they can continue to do that against the woeful Clippers…
• HUGE game between Golden State & Denver today… almost a mini-playoff. And maybe it’s just me, but I think that both match up rather well against New Orleans… I feel guilty that even after the season New Orleans has had, I still don’t give them due respect. Oh well, shoganai.
• The game against Utah is pretty important for Dallas too – they really need to take a little more confidence into the playoffs, so a win for them against the Jazz would be big, especially given they will probably face the Spurs. Big for the Jazz to have a win against another playoff-bound Western team.
• Kobe should be MVP… and quite a few folks – including Joe Dumars & Rafer Alston – are lobbying for him…
• Along the line of the Lakers, Mitch Kupchak should be GM of the year…
• Coach of the Year – (ex-Laker) Byron Scott… bit of a thematic going, huh?
