If you are a fan of NBA basketball, then you should pay attention to these people.

Lakers were embarrassed last night. Lost by 31 points? Hopefully they don't get swept. On the bright  side, all their D-leaguers are getting playoff experience.

Splitter out doesn't mean any meaningful loss to the Spurs in this particular series. Just remember that  with him out by the end of the 3rd quarter, Spurs still managed to win the 4th 35-26. So no problem. If  any, the win margin will drop from 31 as today to 15, still a win.

Just like the lakers and Celtics, the Clippers can't make their shots and the Grizzlies can't miss.  Coaching is winning it for Memphis. Clippers keep turning the ball over. Memphis will advance.

The Lakers hopes for a championship seemingly died along with Dr. Buss earlier in the season. I don't  know of they'll ever be able to get back to championship form with the current roster and with Jim Buss  running the show. It was good while it lasted. It was a very, very long run. Thank you Lakers for the  past 2 dozen years that I've been following you religiously. Thank you for all the memories. Now time to  jump on the Lob City bandwagon.
