LA vs Phoenix

[midnightpulp]

I'm sure the homers will cite the Lakers ain't winning because of Kobe's absence, but Ebanks has given them Kobe like numbers throughout the 1st half. Stating the obvious, but the Show is losing this game on the defensive end.

Don't worry though. Lakers will still cruise.

Kobe Bryant on sitting out the Los Angeles Lakers' game against the Phoenix Suns on Saturday: "I was wearing down a little bit and needed to rest. I'm fine though. If this were a playoff game, I'd be playing. The shin is sore, but not an issue. This is about getting my body right and not pushing too hard before the playoffs." This is the first game he's missed this season.

"If you can play, you play."

- Culburn Castleberry

"i can play...but this about getting my body right before the playoffs."

Resting.

Shut the up with your repe ive already. You're a ing broken record.

Kobe Bryant sat out the Los Angeles Lakers' game against the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night with an injured left shin, the first game he's missed this season.

Lakers longtime trainer Gary Vitti said just before tipoff he decided to put Bryant's left foot in a protective boot to rest the injury.

"It's very painful," Vitti said. "He's been playing with this and it's not getting any better. Really the only way to stop it is to shut him down. That's why I put him in a boot."

I don't get why the underline words are helpful? I wish Seppe would just realistically answer a question. If he was playing with it and says he can play, just bc it's not getting better doesn't mean he isn't resting.

By that logic, Spurs don't rest. Those guys have reports that they are dinged up and it's not getting better unless they rest even though they played the night before.

You can always tell how a Laker game is going w/o watching it.

If the game thread in the NBA Forum is long, the Lakers must be losing and the roaches come out

when is sessions taking over?

[Venti Quattro]

Shannon Brown

[DeadlyDynasty]

What would really be genius is if we slid down to the 4th/5th seed, got the Clippers in the first round, then the Spurs in the 2nd round as OKC and MEM battle at the 2/3.

In a perfect world...

[Venti Quattro]

Another Shannon Brown three! This is just getting comically bad.

[Stalin]

when is sessions taking over?
