9 seconds left, down by one, suggestion: Kobe vs KG one-on-one to win it. Which coach would say no?

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Good try. I like the closing play.

Yeah, I actually think the Lakers played better than the Wolves did in OT, but 5 minute period will depend mostly on who gets the bounces.

Wolves started out the period better and usually that is enough.

I stopped keeping track years ago, but for a while I was tracking who won OT games, and almost every time for whatever reason the team that hits two FGs in a row first wins, and the few times they didn't, it took additional OTs for them to lose. Like one time I've seen a team hit two FGs in a row and lose in that same OT.

I don't totally understand it because a team overcomes a two possession deficits in five minutes in regulation to win probably once a week.

I heard a statistic on a broadcast once that the team to win the tip wins OT a majority of the time. (Like I want to say 60-70% or something)

I just saw the DeAndre dunk/charge/foul from the clippers game first quarter, and I must say that was an amazing dunk/Thor slamdown. Also I must say it is the first time I've ever seen the ball try to go in twice from one shot amazing.

Trade him and a first-rounder to Philly, everybody wins. Bulls dump Rose and the 76ers can say hey guys we're really trying we traded for an MVP

There used to be a certain schadenfreude to watching Rose do terrible but that ended a while ago. I still enjoy it a bit but nothing is going to give that MVP back.
