Kurt Thomas

[Steez]

This is coming from a Lakers fan, but I am wondering why Kurt Thomas doesn't get any burn? His J is money from the elbow, and he is a very good defender. When I saw Tim Duncan was in there at the beginning of the 4th and Kobe was resting, I knew the Lakers had a very good chance of winning this game because I knew that Duncan would be tired by the end of the game. Would it not have been a good idea to maybe put KT in the beginning of the 4th or at the end of the 3rd atleast so that TD gets some rest? Is that Pops regular rotation or was this a first?

Too slow to deal with Odom.

[Steez]

He can guard Pau.

At least use him as a fresh body or something.

[Brutalis]

Too late mikey. Don't matter at this point what they do with him.

Pop's an idiot.

Look how long it took him to finally give Barry some minutes. And remember Kobe's historic run when Pop took Bowen out with 3 fouls in the 2nd half?

Pops been great...but, in back-to-back years...he sorta goes on vacation.

He'll be back next year.
