OMG! LAKERS WIN!! :) :laugh: :p :woot: :jump: :jump: :bounce:

Final second shot in overtime by Kobe wins it for the LAKERS! 3-1 Lakers lead going into game 5 in Phoenix.

Final Score OT: Lakers: 99 Suns: 98

Oh. My. God.

Did anyone see the Lakers/Suns game? Kobe Bryant = holy moly. He did it at the last second in regulation and did it again at the last second in overtime.

Crazy.

:yes: that was amazing.. best game i've seen all season so far.

Kobe is the ****. (Y)

dude that lakers game was such bs. nash was only foulded about 3 times when he had the ball, and they didn't call anything. i mean, the lakers were TRYING to foul...and the refs didn't call jack. suns got screwed on this one. i hope they come back to take it.

no no no no.. i think it was very fair.. did you see the replays on how many times kobe was fouled from the 3point line to the basket? at one point he was fouled 5 times and not one ref blew a whistle.

/agree.

That was complete bull****

clippers and dallas advance to the second round

it'd be interesting to see a lakers vs clippers and dallas vs san antonio match up... i kinda dont like to see spurs winning though :/

but i def want to see the lakers win this round to face the clippers.. two home teams.

Raja Bell's behaviour during the Laker-Sun game was really bad. It doesn't mean you can wrestle the player if you can't guard him. Totally no sportsmanship!

Oh yeah, it's not like Kobe didn't elbow Bell multiple times in the face, one of which the refs called a foul ON BELL afterwards. Phil Jackson didn't tell Bell he deserved it, of course not.

Nash wasn't fouled with three guys huddled over him hacking for the ball. Nash and Diaw didn't call a time out. Walton didn't step out of bounds. Jones wasn't held on the last shot.

Oh wait, you must be in bizarro world.

Suns will win game 7.

just letting you know the foul was on raja before kobe elbowed him...foul by raja, whistle blew while kobe was making his move which was when the elbow came

and calling a foul on kobe for that elbow is like calling foul on kobe when he went up for a shot and elbowed Barbosa on the way up..its not gonna happen, thats part of the game. Almost everytime someone makes a post move and turns you are gonna get an elbow, thats how you protect the ball. Just watch shaq for a few plays against the nets..krystic got totally beat up by him last year with those elbows, it will be interesting to see if krystic can handle him this time. Dipping your shoulder into someone is when u get in trouble

however, clotheslining people are not part of the game. I am hoping for a lakers/clippers series but I think having raja/kobe got at it again in game 7 will be great. Im curious to what happens if theres a blowout. If lakers are down what will stop someone for going after raja or vice versa.

as for everything else, this has been the best first round of the playoffs i've ever seen

kings are hanging with the spurs cant wait til tonite, bonzi wells is playing amazing. im just waiting for ginobli and parker to get all their usual calls from the ref whenever they flop towards the basket (in the spurs defense, the refs do even it out by picking on duncan for the smallest fouls) but ginobli and parker get every call in the book, especially ginobli's flops

bulls kept coming back against the heat (which I think the heat do not have a great chance against the nets without a 100% wade, unless shaq plays like he did in game 6, which i doubt he will for more than 1 game)

im mainly a cavs fan and i must say everytime gilbert arenas touches the ball im scared to death, he never seems to miss

    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
