And as long as the NBA has Andrew Bogut (http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20051204/capt.wimg10412040321.magic_bucks_wimg104.jpg)...Th e Vlade flops are in good hands...Was that Sasha “all 120lbs of him” that knocked the 7 footer down twice? Battling Aussie went for a Missouri boat ride....

[Despot]

Stop The Presses!!!! A Laker had a good game!!!!

[Solid D]

Smush Parker is playing great. Props to him for making the best of his opportunity. He's an excellent defender with long reach and he can flat-out sky.

[Kori Ellis]

I still think he sucks.

Players can put up numbers on a bad team and it doesn't make them good players.

Someone has to put up stats.

[ducks]

I rember there is a forum called nba forum that people posted non spur related topics in there to

[Sportcamper]

Well he is leading the league in steals correct?

And he does not fall down when the air conditioner turns on like Argentina players.... :lol

[Sportcamper]

Ducks shut the heck up! You have your own dedicated Forum for you copy & paste unintelligent non sense that nobody reads... :lol

[Kori Ellis]

No.

He's 10th in the league in steals.

I think he's a scrub - a borderline NBA player. And I don't think he's a long term solution at point guard if the Lakers want to win. He puts up some decent stats on that team though. And like I said before, I hope he proves me wrong and lasts in the league for a long time. By all accounts he's a good guy and a hardworker.

[Bruno]

The game before Bucks against Charlotte :
6 pt (2-6) , 0 ast and 4 turnover.
Smush is an average player.

[sa_butta]

Did anyone see the interview he did on ESPN yesterday? He was so monotone and had very boring short answers. Really needs to learn how to talk to the media.

[ducks]

there was a thread about smush in the nba forum
several smush threads in nba forum :lol :lol :lol

[boutons]

I haven't paid any attention to Smuch lately, but I caught him in a couple of early Nov games, and he looked damn good. In comparision, I think Beno as a Laker would have hard time matching Smush's results.

Whatever, Lakers are marginalized for a couple years.

[T Park]

Bad players put up great numbers on bad teams.

Ala Ron Mercer on the Bulls a few years ago.


Go tell someone who cares about Smush Parker.

[Sportcamper]

Kori face it, you are worried!...The Lakers are getting younger, faster stronger ...The *purs...Well there best hope is to pick up another Lakers cast off...Maybe Fisher will be available next season...

BTW- Did Yall see Shaquille in street clothes at the Lakers game checking out the next hall of famer? "Mr. Bynum"....Sweeeeeet.... :smokin

:lmao

You always make me laugh.

[Sportcamper]

I aim to please.... :smokin

BTW- I was not joking about the refs talking about how brutal the San Antonio fans are...Was it Danny Crawford who just celebrated 20 years & told the story how he is heckled & buys folks beer & hot dogs to shut them up....

[cheguevara]

Who the fuck cares about Smush and the Lakers

[Duncan21]

he may not be that good, but he has one cool first name

[Kip Fanatic]

Smush is playing good. Its hard to tell whether he will turn into an established good NBA player. Its looks good so far though. Its better than having some hyped up player coming into the league and then becomes a bust.

[picnroll]

I liked Smush's play when he was briefly with the Pistons. He'd probably be doing even more this year if he could somehow pry the ball out of that shot jacker Kobe's hands.

[Solid D]

Smush reminds me of John Starks. Not necessarily his style but by the way he's worked hard to get to where he is. They are about the same height. Starks was more of a small, scoring 2, while Smush a scoring 1. Nobody thought he could achieve but he kept after it. Both have gotten an opportunity from great coaches.

Very much like Starks, I see Smush as a guy who takes some talent and mixes it with opportunity, with effort and resolve to get where he is. Even the Spurs looked at Starks in their training camp but the development and maturity wasn't there yet. Smush is a work in progress. His time in Europe probably helped him. Smush is in a good place and he's developed into a nice player.

[Despot]

I have nothing against Smush (he has a cool name), other than the fact that he's a Laker. However Bragging about inflated numbers, and him taking 17 games to get there is another thing. I will say that he has been better than expected for them.

[SenorSpur]

Though, I've only seen him a couple of times, I think Smush is and can be a good, steady player in this league. It's a shame he's unable to truly run the offense because he's playing next to a serial ballhog (Kobe).

[ShoogarBear]

Fact is, right now Smush is making lots of us look dumb. Props.

That he is a Laker only makes it worse.

On the other hand, if he was the real real real deal (i.e., Chris Paul), you would expect the Lakers to be a lot better than they are, and Kobe wouldn't be jacking up 30 shots a night.

[Horry For 3!]

Smush Parker is inconsistent. He'll have some good games but most of the time he sucks.

[Horry For 3!]

Wrong.

TOP 10 in Steals

hahahaha

No matter what Fisher does he will never be a spur....it's probably illegal in San Antonio now...and if it's not it should be. I hate him

Smush is an okay player...he's pretty nice in person...I mean he signed a program for a Spurs fan even though he was on the Suns at the time...that's pretty nice eh?

[E20]

Smush is pretty raw.

[Obstructed_View]

Smush is pretty raw.
...and oh so consistent. Yee Har, I wish he were a Spur. :lol

[slayermin]

FTL!

[Horry For 3!]

Didn't Phyllis start Vujacic last night? That's why Scub Parker had a good game. He had a fire lit under his azz.
Vujacic has been starting the last 3 or 4 games.

[Sense]

Talk to me when your team is over .500

...consistency=reliability matters. :rolleyes

:sleep

[Solid D]

The Lakers are starting 3 guards. Vujacic, Parker and Bryant.

[midgetonadonkey]

The game before Bucks against Charlotte :

Wrong. Smush is a below average player. He will have a few good games, but he will be out of the league in 2 years. Bank on it.

[mattyc]

Smush used to go off for the Idaho Stampede.

[midgetonadonkey]

Did Yall see Shaquille in street clothes at the Lakers game checking out the next hall of famer? "Mr. Bynum"....Sweeeeeet.... :smokin

Andrew Bynum a hall of famer..... :lol

He can barely get up and down the court without losing his breath.

[TheWriter]

Lakers fans were going cracker jack for their last point guard... Atkins or whatever the hell his name was.

[ata]

It is some kind of triangle after all.

Chucky Atkins :lol hes is the 3rd back-up for the Wizards now.

[Sportcamper]

Kobe Bryant “The Ultimate Team Player”...passed Gail Goodrich for seventh on the Lakers career list with his 2,864th assist, a pass to Odom for a dunk in the second quarter... :tu

[Solid D]

Where is Kobe on the all-time list of Shots Attempted? A key indicator of the Ultimate Team Player :smokin

[Sportcamper]

For some unknown reason the Lakers have lost those stats.... :smokin

[Solid D]

:lol just playin'. Kobe's an awesome talent - to the FGA point, Kobe's on pace this year (27.5 attempts/game) of MJ's highest FGA/game season (27.8).

[strangeweather]

Ratio of assists to shots taken, 2005-06 to date, selected perimeter players:

TP = 0.396
Iverson = 0.298
Arenas = 0.295
Manu = 0.287
LeBron = 0.234
Ray Allen = 0.186
Vince Carter = 0.189
Carmelo = 0.179
Kobe = 0.164

[Slo spurs fan]

Nice list. To be complete, there should be a correction to include the number of shots that resulted in FTA and not a FGA. I suspect the ratio of Iverson, Manu, LeBron, and Kobe would be a lot lower.

[sickdsm]

Smush had his second 0 pt game in three meetings against the wolves again tonight.

[ShoogarBear]

Clearly, Anthony Carter is the SmushStopper.

[1Parker1]

:lmao I'm still not over someone actually naming their baby Smush...

[ShoogarBear]

How do you think is sisters Squish and Sploosh feel?

[sickdsm]

Better than their promiscious brother Splooge
