Tonight’s best game: Portland at LA Lakers
The Portland Trail Blazers visit Staples Center on Monday to play the Los Angeles Lakers, a matchup of teams whose personnel issues became quite public over the weekend. The Lakers (18-13) are coming off Sunday’s loss at Phoenix in which they were torn to shreds by the brilliance of point guard Steve Nash, while Derek Fisher and Steve Blake combined for two points in 47 minutes.

Hubbard: Debating the dynastic merits of Celtics, Lakers and Harlem Rens
It is quite obvious that anyone reading this column is a basketball fan, and likely a serious one. Basketball fans are our people.

Fantasy Spin: Monday, Feb. 20
Wow, was Kevin Durant in a zone. KD had 51 points, a new career high, plus 8 REB, 5 3PTM, 3 AST, 4 STL and great shooting percentages. Russell Westbrook scored 40 (yes, that’s 91 for two guys!) with nine assists, and Serge Ibaka notched a triple-double the hard way: 14 PTS, 15 REB and 11 BLK. Somehow, the Nuggets took the game to overtime before losing. Arron Afflalo led Denver with 27 and Andre Miller chipped in 21 &
Sunday’s NBA Post-Game Notes
Dating back to the 1977-1978 season, Jeremy Lin holds the record for most consecutive games with at least 6 turnovers with six straight, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

“Big Three” on full display for Knicks, Heat, Thunder
Amar’e Stoudemire is an afterthought, and Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler are hurt. So meet the new “Big Three” of the New York Knicks – Jeremy Lin, J.R. Smith and Steve Novak. The trio combined to lead the Knicks to a nationally televised 104-97 victory over the defending champion Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, their eight win in nine games.
