Huge game from Bosh as well as LeBron, tough break. You certainly made up for it against the Magic though. Reckon you can take the scoring crown with Durant?

Yeah, I could score 50+ with Durant in each of the last 12 games if that's what you mean?

I think I'll just concentrate on trying to win games and take the individual awards if they come though.

Captain Jack is beasting it up!! (#5 in the NBA in points and the Cats are the 4th seed in the East!)

Hope you can win the scoring title and an MVP Award for KD!

Yeah, I could score 50+ with Durant in each of the last 12 games if that's what you mean?

Sure, why not.

Tough loss to the Suns, thanks in no small part to a typical "Steve Nash in NBA Live" performance. Great clutch win against the Lakers and a couple of impressive ones against the Kings and Warriors. Durant and Mayo are certainly pouring in the points.

I like that Play against the Kings Westbrook is toooo fast

I've played 5 of the final 6 games already, but haven't been bothered typing up the box scores.

So I'll play the last game, type them up and post them all together.
