So for the first time all season and with one game remaining for each , Kobe is now second in scoring behind KD (28.0 vs 27.9)
Kobe needs a big game vs the Kings to win it

This POS was a thug when he played for the Pacers and is still a thug even with the laughable name change. You can polish a turd but in the end, it's still a turd.

As I sit here watching the Denver vs OKC it reminded me that I have 2 pet peeves with players
1. I think it was LeBron who started the whole thing (much as MJ was IIRC the first to go bald) with respect to mouth guards which BTW I agree with and fully understand. What I don't get and annoys the hell out of me is when I watch the players using their tongues to push them in and out of their mouths with slobber running off the piece and/or when they take them out to talk (Chris Paul comes to mind) to teammates.
2. The whining which goes on when a player misses a lay up because he feels he was fouled and either eye balls or jaws the ref until a T is called. Those who come to mind are Kobe and Pau

I just thought of a 3rd and the player who best comes to mind is Derek Fisher at being the best at faking the foul on a flop. Flops should be a T
In my books, I think of Charles Barkley with his kingkong foot stomping after a non-call. And lately, Joachim Noah. I agree about Pau too. It seems he never had an instance of not complaining after a foul called on him. He's got the best innocent act of 'I never touched him, man'.
Steve,
Here's a hilarious flop for you. The crowd was in stitches. Skip to 1 min 10 seconds in.

oh yeah, i saw that one courtesy of my son who is a fan of our local league as well. the guy was actually hit by a ball, and he thought about it, if he did not flop, there might not be a technical foul called, so after a couple of seconds, he made a drastic flop to ensure a T. hahaha...that was funny and we kept laughing at the replay, which made the delay even longer.

Last day of the season today.
Interesting is the following
1. Kobe has one game left. KD is finished and is 0.1 points ahead of Kobe in the scoring race. Kobe will need something like 35+ points tonight against the Kings to win the title
2. Don't look now but SAS not only is first in the West but they are also tied with the Bulls for overall best record. Both teams should win easily tonight and finish with identical records. Who gets the tiebreaker?
3. Clipps fall out of 4th in the West and are 1/2 game behind the Grizz who should also win tonight. If so it will be the Clipps vs the Grizz in the first round
4. IMO the 2 candidates for MVP are KD and LBJ and I have always felt that for me, this season KD is the MVP.

I'm sure it first comes down to the head to head record this year between the Bulls and Spurs. Anyone know who won those games

Steve, from what I read here, it seems the Bulls will get the tiebreaker as they won their own match up of the season.

"Cavaliers at Bulls, 8 p.m. ET
Fans of the Kings and Hornets are hoping that the Bulls don't want home court advantage over the Spurs badly enough to contest this game. The Cavs are tied with the Kings and Hornets at 21 wins, which is third-worst. If any of those three teams win, they'll join the loser of Nets-Raptors in the next tied tier. A Bulls win would clinch the No. 1 overall seed; Chicago beat San Antonio in the teams' only match-up this season. A Bulls loss and Spurs win would give No. 1 overall to S.A. by virtue of a better record."
Congrats to the Bobcats and Jordan for winning that ignominious distinction of the league's worst record ever! 23 losses in a row proving that consistency isn't always a virtue! And they lost to a Knicks team resting its two top stars!

I think they actually are that bad.
Davis looks like a major star and will be the beginning of their road to decency.
