So how did Rubio get all the hype?
"Are you surprised?"
Fran: "No, it's the preseason."
lol
So how did Rubio get all the hype?
i don't know...Diana Taurasi has better range than him though
There was a time when NBA teams won those "preseason" games in Europe by 20/30 points.
Barcelona began the league last weekend so they aren't at 100% either.
Stern can't be happy if his NBA champion can't win an exhibition game against a FIBA team
The Lakers lost their 2nd preseason game last year to GSW by 19 points...
damn, I guess we can forget about the playoffs again this year...
congrats to world champion, barcelona. the lakers are your biatch.
LOL @ Lakers losing to a Euro team.![]()
six minutes is pretty small...he'll be getting more and more minutes each game.
lol...spurs fan taking preseason seriously. I thought id never see that.
Big minutes for the Lakers Starters - 41 for Odom, 36 for Gasol, 30 for Fish (wasn't Blake supposed to be taking over for him)? And 24 for Kobe; I guess his knees better than "60 %" for him to be playing that long in a pre-season...
Kobe's decline continues..
I wonder what kind of excuses he's going to make this season..he's STILL making excuses about the Finals..
KB24 3pts % ??
Rubio only had played the 1st game of the season last weekend so he's at 75% at best.
And you can't forget that FIBA 3 point line is at 6,70 metres vs 7,20 metres of the NBA's one.FIBA players need time to adapt.In fact they are adapting now to 6,70m because last year it was 6,25m
lol...lakers fan taking spurs fan taking preseason seriously, seriously.
Did any of you watch the news coverage last night…There were Pau / Lakers fans in Barcelona crying they were so thrilled…It was like the Pope was in town…
Phil Jackson said “we have the goodwill part down, now if we can play better basketball”…
This from the Heat and ESPN would ejaculate at least a week over it...
preseason or not, that was a beautiful play.
game recognize game
Odom looking like he was having a seizure
Congrats to Barca ... no excuses we lost. I wont be surprised to see other games like this from timetotime. We are going for our 4th straight finals and we are supposed to get "up" for a pre-season game? Or a mid season game at Toronto or cleveland? My guess is Lakers start off sluggish ...and will be inconsistent most of the year. They will not catch the Heat or the Magic?Celts for HCA but they hang on for it out West.
agreed...they pulled this last year too when they lost preseason game #2 to GSW by 19. When are they going to realize that preseason success=NBA championships. Trade Kobe, Fire Phil, Deport Pau--in that order.
but but but they tried to win at the end so they must be taking it seriously.![]()
But he takes care of his body...![]()
and why wouldn't they? The Lakers are there to sell the NBA brand, that is why the NBA sent the most popular team (with the most popular player). It would be rude for them to just tank it, so they play Kobe half the game to appease the crowd. The Lakers are there to sell jersies and chase euro-tail...Mission accomplished on both fronts no doubt
