Another lead I've let slip late on. Couldn't repeat the Suns result this time though.
They were leading 116-113, so I brought Brown on and he made another clutch shot to tie it at 116-116.
I had Lopez, Thabeet, Ibaka, Horford and Durant on the floor but still couldn't prevent that last play.
I've lost 3 out of my last 5 now.

Oh my, despite of those giants, Haywood got lucky

Another big game for Shannon Brown. Hard luck in the Mavericks game, so close to Haywood running out of time on that dunk.

I went from punching the air in excitement to throwing my controller to the ground in frustration at the end of that game.

Luckily I've got a 6 game lead over the Lakers so I can afford a couple of losses.

Looks like free throws killed you in the second game against the Hornets, if not for that you'd probably have won that one handily.

You're in a little funk right now

I'm 5-5 since the all-star break.

Can't complain about the games being challenging though. Would be boring if they were all easy.

Thunder will get to defend their title



With their win over Golden State yesterday, Oklahoma City became the first team in the league to seal a playoff spot.
The Thunder have been unstoppable at times this season. Although rather inconsistent since the all-star break.
But with a 7 game lead over the Lakers, they are looking likely to top their conference for a second straight year.
With 20 games remaining, it seems to be a fight between the Hornets and Clippers for the eighth seed.
The lucky team that gets it will most likely face Oklahoma City in the first round.
