I think everyone just needs to play to their capability. That hasn't happened the last 2 years in the ECF.

Agreed. I was sad but not angry when they lost in finals to Spurs, cuz they still had given everything they had.

I can believe nobody mentioned Kobe's triple-double.

39 points

10 rebounds

11 turnovers

HA HA.

You guys are so funny. If we win by 15, people are miserable. When we're down by 2 with 16.5 seconds to go, regardless of the youngins playing, people are so depressed.

A Tay 3 pointer later, and it's ecstasy.

I don't think I have ever seen this much jubilation over a one point regular season win over a team that arguably is not better than the Pistons, on our homecourt no less.

Anyway, I'm happy for everyone that is happy. Gutty win, and very inspired play from Afflalo, Stuckey, Tay, CB and Rip.

Just gotta keep it all in perspective. Nothing is going to come easy.

We got 20 pts from our backup backcourt.

I can't wait until those 2 develop a great chemistry together. Only saw the 2nd half but man it was a very good game. Nice to see Tay step up on a night where the All-Stars we're just OK. When Tay plays like he did we're a very difficult team to beat. Sometimes he just can't accept the "Glue" guy role. %%%%%%%% was left at home in the closet tonight.

I'm calling described attitude as "mini-bandwagon jumping". And constant trade demans from fans are normal: isn't logical to trade away worthless players and also trade away good players, cuz they still have some trade value?
