Houston on the brink of beating LAL. Lakers choked away a big lead in the 4th.

Greg Smith having a breakout game for the Rockets.

Can't blame Gasol for this one.

EDIT Kobe misses game winner but he did his share. Lakers defense is what's killing them.

I hate Dwight Howard so much... such a liability in the 4th qtr since everyone uses the "Hack-a-Howard" technique.

Need reliable bench help. Forget trading Pau for another starting caliber four, let Jamison and Hill platoon the spot and get a competent pg to run the second unit, and a good scorer to be a spark plug off the bench....

Like coach said, he will have to improve at FT shooting or he'll be letting his teammates down....

[HeatCheck]

He actually has changed his from which is much better but the production is the same.

I love the hack-a-Dwight, hack-a-Jordan, etc. strategy.

I overreact to these losses sometimes. I know that Dwight is the best center in the NBA right now, but he is KILLING us with his historically bad free throw shooting. I mean, 1pt per possession isn't that bad, but it kills our momentum on offense since everyone is standing around while Dwight shoots clanks FT's for 5 min. Really the defense is the problem... without Nash the offense just isn't good enough to outscore the other team on a consistent basis.

Lawson working the Nuggets back into this game against the Hawks with his scoring and distribution. Teague can't stay with him.

[HeatCheck]

Crawford is one of the better ball handlers in the league. That move set up that monster alley oop to Jordan.

[HeatCheck]

What is it with Griffin dunking with his off hand? That's the second one I have seen, and it's still as powerful.

[HeatCheck]

There is Crawford again, breaking down the defense with his handles.

[HeatCheck]

Clippers just showing off now. Love Bledsoe's hops.

Cuban's reaction hahah....

[HeatCheck]

Felton has it dialed in.

[HeatCheck]

LBJ needs to go back to guarding Felton.

The Heat are missing everything and not all of it's due to good defense. Too many early perimeter shots and LBJ has missed two bunnies and Mario missed a layup.

[HeatCheck]

Damn, you saw that dunk by James coming a mile away. That might spark a comeback.
