ELE Bet. Lakers vs. Thunder

[midnightpulp]

Loser is gone for a month. I got the Thunder. Who's up? (And like always, you have to have somewhat of a name.)

[cheguevara]

lakerfans are pussies. good luck finding a taker...

[Giuseppe]

In tribute to my Luva...

[Mugen]

[Giuseppe]

Frankly, I feel confident about tonite.

You guys just take notes on how it's done.

[Mugen]

there's only so many self-ownage threads that Blessings can start to keep us entertained for a month.

and still got a week or so before the Paki ends his exile.

:depressed

[Fpoonsie]

In tribute to my Luva...

I'm in.

Your ol' lady got the fam coming into town again?

[Mugen]

Who's at home?

Lakers right?

it's league mandated that any game vs a +.500 opponent must be a lakers home game.

[cheguevara]

Frankly, I feel confident about tonite.

You guys just take notes on how it's done.

at LA on a holiday vs. a +.50% team?

lakers get sodomized. byebye cubby

[Giuseppe]

This is a lock tonite for the Lakers.

[jjktkk]

This is a lock tonite for the Lakers.

Way to step up to the plate Cubby. Blessings should take one of his crayons and take some notes. :tu

[rayjayjohnson]

hey, i was gone for a few weeks, where is luva anyway?

[midnightpulp]

In tribute to my Luva...

Deal.

[21_Dickings]

Deal.

We got this shit.

No one, and I mean no one, closes us out.

[ElNono]

Respect... Culby is not a welcher

Good luck to you both

[DPG21920]

I play for blood.

[Killakobe81]

first luva and know this ..I think Lakers lose again. But if we win Mid gets to take his hatin' ass home for a while so I say good luck cully ... LOL

[Giuseppe]

I just thought, last night withstanding the Lakers had this one earmarked over past trespasses with OKC.

It seems like I'm the only one with the hunch of victory. Frankly, I even was thinking double digit type triumph.

[Dunc n Dave]

Gotta agree with Cubby here. The Lakers take this one tonight.

[Cry Havoc]

Lakers win by 10 or lose by 20. If they can keep the pace of the game slow they'll win for sure, but if they miss shots early, the Thunder are going to destroy them in transition. Should be a great game.

[cobbler]

Ill give you a two for one Mid.... I'm in. Lakers win this going away.

[midnightpulp]

Ill give you a two for one Mid.... I'm in. Lakers win this going away.

Deal.

[cobbler]

deal

[ezau]

Bye cobbler and Cubby. See you next month! LOL

[DPG21920]

Plums, spill 'em.

[HarlemHeat37]

Cobbler has a history of saying he's going to leave, only to come back..I wouldn't trust him..

[DPG21920]

Cobbler has a history of saying he's going to leave, only to come back..I wouldn't trust him..

Very true.

[j.dizzle]

Only person on OKC that makes me nervous is that fast little beee-ach Westbrook. He's gonna make D.Fish look like the worst defender in the league tonight. Phil wont put Kobe on him in a regular season game. If Westbrook only scores around 20 then I like the Lakers chances.

[ElNono]

Westbrook has been playing like shit, IIRC.

[DPG21920]

Lakers do struggle with the fast pg's but Phil usually finds a way to negate that.

[DPG21920]

Westbrook has been playing like shit, IIRC.

He just dropped a trip dub.

[j.dizzle]

Westbrook has been playing like shit, IIRC.

If he has then it'll stop tonight :lmao. Good PG's get hard ons when they get to play LA. It must feel good to know that you're gonna be guarded by a 35 year old player that basically lays out a red carpet to the rim for you.:lol

[DPG21920]

25 & 12 for Westbrook tonight.

[cobbler]

Cobbler has a history of saying he's going to leave, only to come back..I wouldn't trust him..

Never welched on a wager in my life. It's just not done if you have any integrity at all. Don't inculde me in your alter ego squad of welchers.

A "history" would imply an established record. One time to point out your hypocrisies is most certainly not that.

And there is good ole Predictale Boy DPG right on queue. 3 mins though DPG, you are slipping. Ususally you follow up Hoboys posts within seconds. Take time to swallow did ya?

[DPG21920]

Lame :td

[ElNono]

If he has then it'll stop tonight :lmao. Good PG's get hard ons when they get to play LA. It must feel good to know that you're gonna be guarded by a 35 year old player that basically lays out a red carpet to the rim for you.:lol

He played like shit against the Spurs and Mavs about two weeks ago.

[HarlemHeat37]

Cob'..did you not say that you were leaving, only to come back?..serious question..



In regards to the game, I think LA wins by 5-8 points or so, although I said the same thing about the Clippers game..Artest usually does a good job defending Durant, Gasol-Bynum should be able to exploit OKC's bigs..Thunder will need Westbrook to have a monster game + Kobe to go into Kobe mode + one of their other perimeter players to step up(Harden?)..

[ImDaNuts]

OKC rolls

[HarlemHeat37]

The pace favors the Thunder right now..Lakers' need to slow it down, they don't have the weapons to compete with OKC at this pace..

:lol Shannon Brown just got away with a massive travel, as he always does..

LA's offense is very impressive when Kobe accepts his role as a #3 option, tbh..no trolling..

[hitmanyr2k]

I can't believe the refs continue to call that bullshit "rip through" foul for Durant. It's like a fuckin signature play now. The refs are looking for it just waiting to blow the whistle. Star players are such bitches now the way they play.

[DMC]

He's gonna make D.Fish look like the worst defender in the league tonight.
So he's going to show game video?

[DMC]

I can't believe the refs continue to call that bullshit "rip through" foul for Durant. It's like a fuckin signature play now. The refs are looking for it just waiting to blow the whistle. Star players are such bitches now the way they play.

:whine

[Cry Havoc]

Nice to see the refs letting them play.

[ElNono]

So far the usual: Lakers bench sucks. Gasol playing like a pussy. OKC getting owned inside.

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

Should be a great game.............. for the Lakers that is

[ElNono]

Harden is garbage btw

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao Odom, "FOUL!" Every Lakers star whines like a bitch.

[Cry Havoc]

I don't care what anyone says about Bynum, the Lakers do not have interior defense. The Thunder are making them look slow and old.

[ElNono]

Blake is killing the Lakers and Harden is killing OKC

[Gold Tooth Carl]

:lmao Odom, "FOUL!" Every Lakers star whines like a bitch.

:lmao While Harden got mugged just now

[Jelloisjigglin]

Blake is killing the Lakers and Harden is killing OKC


He plays scared out there. He has been a total bust so far tbh

[itzsoweezee]

Lol, LLLakers have no frontcourt depth and Gasol is either hurt or has aged tremendously after the first month of the season.

LA is old as fuck. LOLOLOLOLOL

[HarlemHeat37]

Bynum is a good interior defender, but their perimeter defenders are atrocious..Artest is still a good defender, but looks like he has lost a step(to be fair, he looked like this last season too, then he stepped up his D during the 2nd half of the year, IIRC)..Kobe is an average 1 on 1 defender now..Fisher/Blake are 2 of the worst defenders in the NBA..Shannon Brown is a waste of athleticism on the defensive end..

So Bynum is often put in foul trouble due to the incompetence of his perimeter defenders..when he is in the game, he obviously makes a difference on the defensive end..

I'll say this..if Gasol isn't coasting and the mileage of the last 3-4 years has gotten to him(also his rumored hamstring injury or whatever), then LA will be eliminated in the 2nd round, he's way too valuable..

[ElNono]

OKC flying from all corners now :lol

BTW, Odom has been carrying this Laker team for a while

[Mr. Body]

Lakers are as dull as shit to watch nowadays. They play slow, boring, plodding. It's effective, but then again, this Thunder team is so much younger, promising, freewheeling...

[Jelloisjigglin]

Odom ballin'. Rest of the Lakers...not so much.

[ElNono]

OKC is a fairly dumb team though.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Fisher can't make a wide open 3, but makes an and-1 after a bump and nearly behind the backboard..

[jestersmash]

Kobe has shown remarkable restraint on offense. Very uncharacteristic and very impressive. He's unselfish enough (for this game) to allow his teammates to establish themselves before he hogs all of the offense. I'm too used to seeing him chuck balls left and right right from the get go.

[Jelloisjigglin]

lol phantom foul for Durant

[ElNono]

:lol @ that travel by Bynum

[ElNono]

:lol Westbrook making Kobe looks silly bad

[ElNono]

Bynum is just trying to defend guys coming at him at 100 mph. It's tough

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

blowout time

[jestersmash]

Good to see old man Kobe can still throw down from time to time.

[HarlemHeat37]

Some atrocious D from both teams in this game, particularly the help D..

[Jelloisjigglin]

Westbrook schooling the Lakers as usual

[Mugen]

smart game so far for Kobe and the lakers.

but are we supposed to believe that Kobe is still an above average defender?

[InRareForm]

Kobe had his Ensure before the game tonight. Don't know how he dunked it like that.

[PGDynasty24]

bigs need to show harder on those westbrook screens.

[ElNono]

You have to wonder how long Phil is gonna put up with Blake non-production. If he's just gonna bring the ball up, Shannon Brown can do that.

[Gold Tooth Carl]

Kobe had his Ensure before the game tonight. Don't know how he dunked it like that.

Nothing is wrong with his knee. Kobe was just trolling

[21_Blessings]

Refs just taking Baby Drew out of the game like they're supposed to. Trying to keep it competitive, I guess.

[tdunk21]

balanced scoring from the fakers

[Gold Tooth Carl]

Refs just taking Baby Drew out of the game like they're supposed to. Trying to keep it competitive, I guess.

Blessings just crying like he is supposed to, per usual

[midnightpulp]

smart game so far for Kobe and the lakers.

but are we supposed to believe that Kobe is still an above average defender?

He hasn't been an above average defender for 6 years.

[ElNono]

Can't stand Chris Webber

[Gold Tooth Carl]

lol Ernie
Lol Barkley
Lol dude dancing

[Cry Havoc]

Refs just taking Baby Drew out of the game like they're supposed to. Trying to keep it competitive, I guess.

:lmao at Lakers fans complaining about refs when they're allowed to tackle players shooting 3s with no call.

[ElNono]

It's just crazy how many freebies OKC get.

[Jelloisjigglin]

It's just crazy how many freebies OKC get.

No kidding.

[HarlemHeat37]

Both of these teams are very annoying and unappealing, IMO..entertaining game though..

[usdane]

He hasn't been an above average defender for 6 years.

Are saying that Black Mamba aka The Doberman don't play defense :nope

Shall we have have a look

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBu28UwDzps

[Banzai]

more like the Lakers vs Durant/Westbrook

[21_Blessings]

Ever since Bynum was ejected for anally violating Amare the whistle on him has been extra quick.

[HarlemHeat37]

Are saying that Black Mamba aka The Doberman don't play defense :nope

Kobe’s defense, to be accurate, has faltered in recent years, despite his presence on the league’s all-defensive team. The voters have been seduced by his remarkable athleticism and spectacular steals, but he hasn’t played sound, fundamental defense. Mesmerized by the ball, he’s gambled too frequently, putting us out of position, forcing rotations that leave a man wide open, and doesn’t keep his feet on the ground.

[ElNono]

:lol Gasol 4/11

[Dex]

LOL refs have pussed out on the Respect Rule already.

[ElNono]

Fisher making a comeback from the grave

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Fisher is taking over this game..4-5 months earlier than usual..

[itzsoweezee]

play some defense, westbrook.

[ElNono]

Surprised OKC is getting killed from the perimeter...

[PGDynasty24]

kobe doing good job of being patient and creating for others

[Jelloisjigglin]

Back to back 3s? Is this the Lakers? lol

[ElNono]

I'm gonna have to start calling him Zombie Fisher

[crc21209]

Game over. Lakers up 10, OKC too young and dumb to win at Staples still....

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

Game over

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Durant's lack of passing ability..he had Westbrook wide open for an hour for an easy layup..

[ElNono]

I'm glad KD didn't get another bs call on the 3, but that last one drive was a foul on Fisher. He was inside the semi circle.

[crc21209]

Yup. Game over...

The quote I posted wasn't something I wrote, it's from Phil Jackson himself..

[PGDynasty24]

Durant in chuck mode

[crc21209]

The quote I posted wasn't something I wrote, it's from Phil Jackson himself..

:lol OWNED.

[itzsoweezee]

LOL @ Fisher dominating Westbrook. Top 5 point guard my ass.

Tony's easily better than this stat-padding loser.

[usdane]

The quote I posted wasn't something I wrote, it's from Phil Jackson himself..

But you share the sentiment right?

[ElNono]

If OKC can keep it around 10 points, the Lakers bench can get them back into this

[HarlemHeat37]

But you share the sentiment right?

I don't know, I would have to think about it..it's tough to argue against the greatest coach of all-time, at a time where he wasn't coaching, so at his most honest..Phil knows a lot more about the game than I do..

[PGDynasty24]

As I have said b4,what separates Durant from Lebron,Wade and Kobe is that durant doesn't make his teammates better and can't create for anyone other than himself

[oh crap]

okc back in this

[usdane]

I don't know, I would have to think about it..it's tough to argue against the greatest coach of all-time, at a time where he wasn't coaching, so at his most honest..Phil knows a lot more about the game than I do..

If you don't know why bother making a point with a Phil quote that you don't even believe in.

Phil have said a lot of things over years. I am sure he has said twice as much positive things about Kobe as negative.

[InRareForm]

damn alien lookin mofo blake

[Jelloisjigglin]

Blake did something!

[InRareForm]

Three pointers are the Lakers best friend this game.

[Mugen]

Fisher/Blake have been great for the lakeshow so far.

which means they havent been total shit like so far this season.

[rayjayjohnson]

Lakers choking. Must be getting ready to offer Dirk a contract

[ElNono]

Blake did something!

Weird night. Fish made shots, Blake too.

[Mugen]

i dont know if the basement will be as fun without Cubby for a month again or without gobbler for about 2 days.

[HarlemHeat37]

damn alien lookin mofo blake

Arguably the ugliest player in the NBA, tbh..

[TE]

lol at you all who think the game was over in the third quarter, typical premature ejaculation fans

[oh crap]

lol at you all who think the game was over in the third quarter, typical premature ejaculation fans

it's hard for me to believe that there are as many durant/okc haters on any other sports board out there

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Bynum is a foul machine..

[Cry Havoc]

Lakers 7-13 from 3.

Thunder 1-16 from 3.

Game is 2 possessions difference. :lol

[ElNono]

tbh, neither team playing defense. OKC ain't going to catch up trading baskets.

[HarlemHeat37]

tbh, neither team playing defense. OKC ain't going to catch up trading baskets.

They might..Lakers are having a pretty fluky performance so far, IMO, they might come back down to Earth a little..I still think LA wins though..

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao

Refs taking 10 seconds to make a call.

[HarlemHeat37]

Ibaka's D has regressed heavily from what I've seen this year..his D has been very poor in this game..

[4>0rings]

C' ya Mid, we'll miss your daily harassment of Laker/Heat fan.

[Killakobe81]

not sure Lakers will get or deserve a 2nd all-star but Odom deserves it over Pau ...

Odom has been the most consistent Laker all year ...

[Cry Havoc]

C' ya Mid, we'll miss your daily harassment of Laker/Heat fan.

Lot of time left.

[Killakobe81]

Pau needs to go at collison there ... he has 5 fouls

[PGDynasty24]

They need to get Kobe more touches. Sefalosha/Harden can't hold him

[ElNono]

not sure Lakers will get or deserve a 2nd all-star but Odom deserves it over Pau ...

Odom has been the most consistent Laker all year ...

I don't know about AllStar, but they sure have been riding him for a while now.

[Cry Havoc]

The Thunder suck so badly on defense.

[HarlemHeat37]

Has Jeff Green ever had a good game vs. LA?..he's such a shitty player..

[Cry Havoc]

They shoot a lot of stupid jumpers on offense as well.

[PGDynasty24]

kobe picking them apart

[HarlemHeat37]

Lakers look great tonight though, they deserve credit, their D has stepped up in the 2nd half too..

[crc21209]

WEAK shit OKC.....WEAK!

[Jt.ONE]

gasol wet jumpahh

[Killakobe81]

Not saying Lamar is more deserving than Love or Griffin ... just saying if they gonna reward teams with the top 2 records he is deserving and no offense he has more game winning impact than duncan this year TBH. this is not a knock but Manu should be the sure all-star for the Spurs and then a case can be made for Parker or duncan though i would choose duncan ...

[ElNono]

Westbrook disappeared in the 2nd half. Just like against the Spurs and Dallas.
OKC just stopped pushing the ball.

[crc21209]

Fisher butter fingers.....

[crc21209]

Back to back TO's by Fish and KoMe....

[ElNono]

lol bailout call

[crc21209]

:lol Kobe was jumping up and down and waving his hands up the entire time that possession. Dude wanted the ball BADLY....

[Killakobe81]

LOL Kobe going 1 on 1 ... and not driving ...

[crc21209]

Fuck you Jeff Green you choking ass piece of shit....

[ElNono]

KD didn't take a shot in the last 3 mins...

[Mugen]

lol at that call on KD

[Jt.ONE]

lol artest air ball

[Killakobe81]

LOL ron artest ...airball ...
But he has been chasing durant

[crc21209]

Ahh yes refs saving the Lakers...:tu

[oh crap]

what a bullshit call

[Jt.ONE]

bullshit call on KD.. wtf foul?

[Banzai]

I just drank 2 glasses of expensive champagne tonight..my head hurts lol...

[HarlemHeat37]

Even though I dislike their team, and it's been evident that they need to do this for a while now, they really need to shop Jeff Green and get any assets they can for him..players like that aren't key parts of contenders..

[Jt.ONE]

KD with a bad shot...

[Killakobe81]

Lakers running out of gas ...

Need a day off tuesday have Mavs on Wednesday ...

Westbrook and Durant are studs ... but Thunder not ready cant beat the Lakers at 80% on a back2back ...they cant beat lakers in the playoffs

[21_Blessings]

Ahh yes refs saving the Lakers...:tu

He reached and body checked Kobe. Two fouls on the same play by that acne riddled monstrosity.

[ElNono]

There it is, game. Fun game tbh. OKC just didnt play enough D to win this, even though the Lakers let them catchup again and again.

[Jt.ONE]

lol kobe cant put it away with freebies

[Jelloisjigglin]

Kobe doing his part to keep the Thunder in it

[rayjayjohnson]

He reached and body checked Kobe. Two fouls on the same play by that acne riddled monstrosity.

Stfu laker fan

[crc21209]

He reached and body checked Kobe. Two fouls on the same play by that acne riddled monstrosity.

:lol At you checkin' him out...

[Killakobe81]

Even though I dislike their team, and it's been evident that they need to do this for a while now, they really need to shop Jeff Green and get any assets they can for him..players like that aren't key parts of contenders..

Disagree. Green can help a Heat or Lakers but OKC needs more than just a role player from a guy they got in the allen trade ...allen still contributing more at this stage of his career ...

Damn if OKC had allen and durant LOL

[Jt.ONE]

wow westbrook...

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Bynum comes in the game and can't grab a rebound..

[rayjayjohnson]

How was Kobe not teched after that first freebie?

[Jt.ONE]

game over folks.. good game though

[DesignatedT]

lol westbrook.

[Mugen]

good win for the lakers.

wouldn't have been close if Kobe didnt go Kobe mode in the final 3 minutes.

[Jelloisjigglin]

Props to Westbrook for taking that horrible fucking shot. :tu

[ElNono]

When Gasol gives the Lakers nothing and you still can't beat them, you got problems.

[HarlemHeat37]

Disagree. Green can help a Heat or Lakers but OKC needs more than just a role player from a guy they got in the allen trade ...allen still contributing more at this stage of his career ...

Damn if OKC had allen and durant LOL

What exactly is Jeff Green good at though?..

He's supposed to be a hybrid SF/PF that can stretch the floor, but he's a mediocre 3-point shooter..he isn't a standout post up player, he's not particularly good at creating his own offense, he's not a good defender..

I don't really see his value..

[rayjayjohnson]

double lol westbrick

[LakerHater]

fLakers shot excellent from the field & the 3 ....

[Mugen]

What exactly is Jeff Green good at though?..

He's supposed to be a hybrid SF/PF that can stretch the floor, but he's a mediocre 3-point shooter..he isn't a standout post up player, he's not particularly good at creating his own offense, he's not a good defender..

I don't really see his value..

jeff green ain't shit unless hes being guarded by Matt Bonner.

[ElNono]

How is KD the league MVP after turds like this one? :lol

[ElNono]

:lol cya mid

[Mugen]

seriously, tbh...but a Matt Bonner for Jeff Green trade would really help out the Thunder.

[Jelloisjigglin]

lol Mid

[Killakobe81]

I don't really see his value..

Tough for him to develop with two stars that dominate the ball and most of the shots. I think on a better different team he could contribute. don't get me wrong he is playing sucky ...but i think you put him on the celts you would see better production. A PG like Nash or Rondo would help him greatly.

And his value was his versatility ...not as a specialist in any one area ..

[cobbler]

Bynum is a good interior defender, but their perimeter defenders are atrocious..Artest is still a good defender, but looks like he has lost a step(to be fair, he looked like this last season too, then he stepped up his D during the 2nd half of the year, IIRC)..Kobe is an average 1 on 1 defender now..Fisher/Blake are 2 of the worst defenders in the NBA..Shannon Brown is a waste of athleticism on the defensive end..

I'll say this..if Gasol isn't coasting and the mileage of the last 3-4 years has gotten to him(also his rumored hamstring injury or whatever), then LA will be eliminated in the 2nd round, he's way too valuable..

And your predictions are always so right on come seasons end! :lmao

[PGDynasty24]

good win for the lakers.

wouldn't have been close if Kobe didnt go Kobe mode in the final 3 minutes.

Yeah clearly Kobe was out of control with his wild 7-12 shooting and 8 assists. But 8-23 durant was calm and cool

[Killakobe81]

seriously, tbh...but a Matt Bonner for Jeff Green trade would really help out the Thunder.

you are right offensively ... Bonner WOULD be an upgrade but they have to many jumpshooters already, they need a post game.

[TampaDude]

Wow...the Lakers tried real hard to hand the game to OKC there at the end, but they couldn't capitalize. The Thunder are not championship material quite yet.

[Mugen]

Yeah clearly Kobe was out of control with his wild 7-12 shooting and 8 assists. But 8-23 durant was calm and cool

guess you missed the last 4 minutes when he was going 1 on 1 and the thunder went on a run.

he was playing very well up until that point, his defense notwithstanding

[ElNono]

Lakers move to a whooping 6-5 against teams over .500... Expected, since the 5 loses were on the road...

[mazerrackham]

you are right offensively ... Bonner WOULD be an upgrade but they have to many jumpshooters already, they need a post game.

They don't have people that space the floor to the three point line though. If they did it would make penetrating so much easier for Westbrook/Durant

[Mugen]

you are right offensively ... Bonner WOULD be an upgrade but they have to many jumpshooters already, they need a post game.

jumpshooters yes, but their lack of 3pt shooting hurts them more than a lack of a post presence.

[rayjayjohnson]

Lakers move to a whooping 6-5 against teams over .500... Expected, since the 5 loses were on the road...

One of those was against the knicks, so in reality they are actually 5 and 5

[rayjayjohnson]

:lol cya mid

One less spurs fan is a win in my book.

:lol Bynum is a foul machine..

Bynum is clearly still in the dog house and the refs are letting him know that the league may have recinded the tech but they are stay on him if he continues to throw tantrums. 2 of Drews fouls were complete fabricatioln. Regardless, he needs to react accordingly.

[Mugen]

One less spurs fan is a win in my book.

at least he'll be back in a month, unlike Andre Bell who was killed by JR Smith.

[cobbler]

not sure Lakers will get or deserve a 2nd all-star but Odom deserves it over Pau ...

Odom has been the most consistent Laker all year ...

Without question the most consistent. And who would have ever thought you would say that about Lamar?

I know ... just last year LG was still murdering him for his lack of consistency ...

Piss off.

Wow...the Lakers tried real hard to hand the game to OKC there at the end, but they couldn't capitalize. The Thunder are not championship material quite yet.

+1. They are still "pretenders" in my eyes....

[j.dizzle]

Lakers have played 6 games in 9 nights & were on a back-2-back while the Thunder are younger & have been off since like Thursday. This was OKC's best chance to win a game at Staples & they played catch up all night lmao. Durant is scared of Ron. Most of his shots came against that scrub Luke. Damn Westbrook takes a grip of shots for a PG but he played pretty well.

Ohhhh just hush up and head off into obscurity already.

Btw that TNT setup outside of Staples was really nice. Its like 65-70 degrees right now so its perfect for that. All-Star weekend is gonna be badass, they got a ton of things around Downtown now for big parties.

Bynum has had numerous stretches of being a "foul machine" in the past, including virtually his entire playoff career..blaming it on an "agenda" from the refs is ludicrous IMO..

[cobbler]

In his rookie years yes. Over the last 2 or 3 he has been getting the benefit of the doubt that comes with his position. The last few games the refs have called an inordinate amout of phantoms against him. IMO

[DeadlyDynasty]

He's still getting his feet under him...once he gets his game legs back he won't always be late on help D and committing fouls. At least until his knee gives again...

Frankly, I feel confident about tonite.

You guys just take notes on how it's done.

Hope ya all took down some salient notes.

Let us proceed...

No sir. Not on my watch. You poured your heart into an ELE only once and you were found wanting. Nothing you do will change that. All of this false bravado thereafter won't erase the pungent odor of your true failure. You only truly put it on the line once; you were gone because of it and along with it went your hopes for reconciliation.

You are extinct.

Actually, it appears that the Lakers took some notes from the Spurs, but weren't particularly apt students.

You know. That Rockets game. The original ELE where ya lost it. Where Mono's sent ya's to the tree of woe permanently.

There is none of this false bravado on my watch after that.

[Giuseppe]

Mono Tuiasosopo, do you know what Deep is bellowing about?

[DPG21920]

Was that Luva that mono sent to the woe forest?

[DPG21920]

Either way, this is to good to dismiss and it still stands.

You can't equate The Skunker with my month in purgatory, you idiot, you. I did my penance. As such, I can now walk amongst ya's, proud & upright.

The Skunker though will follow you guys all the days of your live's.

[DPG21920]

No, you don't. You walk around with false bravado trying to cover up what happened, just like above. You almost got me, but I didn't let it happen.

Not only am I equating the Skunker with the Extinction, I am seeing to it that you never see the light of day again because of it.

As soon as you try and deflect with your chest puffed out, I'll be there to deflate ya.
