Pop Will Try "HACK A ODOM"

[LakeShow]

To try to slow down the greyhounds that is known as the Los Angeles Lakers. The lakers are too quick and young for the Spurs.

[rAm]

Did you create this thread to try and make yourself feel better?

[LakersDynasty]

The Spurs are a fluke team who made some BS shots to get here.

[bdictjames]

X team is more quick and young than the Spurs.

We hear this everytime they go in the series.

[Sammy's Mom]

yeah...four times

[mardigan]

The lakers are too quick and young for the Spurs.
Hornets are younger and faster

[ShoogarBear]

No way Pop would foul a clutch shotmaker like Lamar.

[LakersDynasty]

Pop won't need to foul the Lakers. The refs are already giving your team plenty of trips to the line this year:

Why bother?

:lobt::lobt::lobt::lobt::lobt::lobt::lobt:
:lobt::lobt::lobt::lobt::lobt::lobt::lobt:

Most of those are pretty dusty by now aren't they?

This team hasn't won any of those. Where you been for the last 6 years?

[DazedAndConfused]

The Lakers don't run a gimmick offense, meaning they don't have one player that runs the whole show. Everyone is a playmaker and everyone is a threat. To stop the triangle offense you really need to have a concerted effort from every player. In all the games that Gasol has played for us I've yet to see any team flat out stop the Laker offense in its tracks.

[Princess Pimp]

lol how cute.....4.....and none of those a single repeat! :(

[MadDog73]

:lobt::lobt::lobt::lobt::lobt::lobt::lobt:

5 of those weren't even in LA...

[TampaDude]

and none of those a single repeat! :(

LOL at a Suns fan commenting on :lobt:.

BTW, we're gonna get that repeat in a few more weeks.

[MadDog73]

and none of those a single repeat! :(

4 still greater than 3.

I guess you can count all 14 if you want, but that's like saying the Cowboys are the best team in the NFL...

I mean, if you want to go that route, than the Lakers will never be as good as the Celtics. Fine by me.

[Strike]

and none of those a single repeat! :(

Well, you actually have that right.

The Suns have actually repeated for 40 straight years. Wait, I don't think NOT winning a championship in 40 years actually qualifies as repeating.

Damn. I wish the Spurs focussed some on team defense; then they'd have a chance.

Watch and learn as Parker the fastest player on the court destroys the Lakers - Spurs can run with anyone and have proven it.

[RandomGuy]

Actually he created it to demonstrate the inability to put "an" instead of "a" when it comes to words that start with vowels.

:nope

"Hack an Odom" There, was that so hard...?

It's Hack a "Insert name", Dickhead!

I can see it now. The Lakers offense clicking on all cylinders, pop panicking, getting scared that he can not stop them any other way with his over the hill gang.

[baseline bum]

Just like the Sons were the last 4 years?

[Lakers_55]

From a serious point, Lamar has had trouble at the chairty line lately, so has Gasol. Not uncommon to see either miss one or both attempts. Yeah, if they get fouled normally and still can't hit, look for Hack-an-Odom and Hack-A-Gasol to appear.

[Lebowski Brickowski]

Pop sometimes doesn't bother shutting down the entire offense. I have seen him shut down everybody but one big star and just let that star romp at will.

As good as anybody is, it takes more than one guy to win a game.

I remember earing something like that about The hornets :rolleyes

You don't know me very well. If you step up and try to call me on shit, I never say anything that I can't back up.

To wit:

The English lesson on "a" and "an" usage. (http://www.english-zone.com/grammar/a-anlessn.html)

A/AN - Lesson on Articles
WHEN TO USE -A-
Use a if the next word begins with a consonant SOUND.
This is a sound rule, NOT a spelling rule.

a box
a cat
a university (university begins with a consonant sound)
a unicorn (unicorn begins with a consonant sound)
a European trip (European begins with a consonant sound)
a hotel (hotel begins with a consonant sound)
WHEN TO USE -AN-
Use AN if the next word begins with a vowel SOUND.
This is a sound rule, NOT a spelling rule.

an atom
an entrance
an ice cream cone
an uncle (uncle begins with a vowel sound)
an hour (the h is silent, thus a vowel sound)

Maybe you can enlighten me as to what sound an "O" makes, in case I missed that one...?

[ChumpDumper]

Pop will try Hack a European Trip.

I KNEW there was a reason these Laker trolls acted so funny around us...

[LakeShow]

I wondered if the term Hack -an "name" has ever been used. To use that term is so GAY!


Name

The name is a colloquial (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colloquial) rhyme (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhyme) that comes from the term hack being common basketball slang (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slang) meaning to commit a personal foul, and Shaq being the oft-used shortened version of O'Neal's first name. Although the name is obviously informal, no more formal name for the strategy has yet come into common usage (probably because the strategy is relatively new and rarely used). Even in the context of more formal conversation, the name Hack-a-Shaq is generally used.
The term Hack-a-Shaq, with its "catchy" sound and its familiarity among basketball fans, is frequently used even when referring to the use of the strategy against a specific player other than O'Neal. However in many such cases, fans, broadcasters and members of the media seek another appellation coined to use a different rhyme or alliteration based upon the specific targeted player's name. Recently used examples include "Bash-a-Biedrins" for Andris Biedrins Bruise-a-Bruce for Bruce Bowen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Bowen), Bop-a-Ben, Bump-a-Ben or Whack-a-Wallace for Ben Wallace (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Wallace), Chop-a-Diop for DeSagana Diop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeSagana_Diop), and Slap-a-Skinner for Brian Skinner (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Skinner). In other cases, attempts at a clever sound are abandoned, and the name of the targeted player is simply substituted for Shaq in Hack-a-Shaq (e.g. Hack-a-Ben, Hack-a-Wallace, or Hack-a-Howard for Dwight Howard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwight_Howard)).
The Hack-a-Shaq name was originally used during O'Neal's college playing days, and during his NBA tenure with the Orlando Magic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlando_Magic). At that time, however, the term referred simply to opposing teams employing an especially physical style of play in defending against O'Neal. Teams sometimes defended him by bumping, striking or pushing him after he received the ball in order to ensure that he did not score easily with layups or slam dunks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slam_dunk). Because of O'Neal's poor free throw shooting, teams did not fear the consequences having personal fouls called against them when using such tactics.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hack-a-Shaq#cite_note-0)[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hack-a-Shaq#cite_note-1)[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hack-a-Shaq#cite_note-2) However, once Nelson's off-the-ball fouling strategy became prevalent, the term Hack-a-Shaq was applied to this new tactic, and the original usage was largely forgotten.

(shrugs)
It is the truth. I will never claim to be an A1 all-knowing basketball God, but if I say X about any given topic, you can damn well bet on my ability to find some supporting back-up for it.

Kinda what I do for a living. ;)

[ChumpDumper]

Capitalization of the word "faggots" in that sentence was another error.

Oddly enough, the Spurs don't run their offense through one player either.

Fucking dumbass.

[BiZNicK]

Laker's are a fluke team who faced weaker teams to get here.

[MadDog73]

I understand Spurs fans hate the Lakers.

I do too.

But this is NOT a fluke team. They are number one in the West, and, so far, are playing the best in the playoffs.

The Spurs choked last night, but Kobe killed us once again. Until the Spurs win in LA, we lose the series. That's a fact.

Just win.

[RandomGuy]

The word "european" starts with a consanant sound, a hard "y".

He drew the example directly from the english grammar bit that I copied and pasted from that website.

(shrugs)

This has got to be the silliest argument I have had on this board. Please stop insisting you are right, nut up, and admit you made a mistake.

It won't kill ya, honest.

Real men aren't afraid of admitting mistakes, only of making them.

[Say-Townbball]

The Spurs are a fluke team who made some BS shots to get here.

:lmao

And they lakers played the Nuggets (who are toys) and the flippin' Jazz (who are toys on the road).

You really wanna go there? :nope

[Say-Townbball]

Laker's are a fluke team who faced weaker teams to get here.

Suns > Jazz, Nuggets
Hornets > Jazz, Nuggets

The Lakers aren't flukes...They just haven't had to go through tougher teams like the Spurs have. Kobe got his shit together and realized he had a decent team.

With that said, Spurs are still the better team. It it will be seen before the series is over.

[Ghost Writer]

Has Pop's Hack Strategy worked yet?

I feel like Shaq and Chandler both made more FTs than they missed.

[Say-Townbball]

and none of those a single repeat! :(

:lobt::lobt::lobt::lobt:

Four is more than none, don't you think Ma?:lmao

70% FT for the year.... go figure.
