    Nah, I think even he thinks the Lakers are a lost cause already. Look for Durant to continue his 20+ FTA binge, though.

    I wonder if Tony's favorite Hendrix song is " You Got Me Floatin'"??? Yes, it's been wonderful watching Los Fakers "fall and burn in the garden green", while Los Spurs let Timmy "take over! Yeah, you know what I'm talkin' about! Yeah, get on with it!"

    The At Dallas game kind of worries me, I'm not sure Kawhi is going to play. I heard he cut his knee open last night on a loose nail on the court. Bulls for some reason are garbage at home.

    I'm almost certain its purple haze because he blows by Phoenix and the Lakers. Good guess though. Also Foxey Lady because...you know (brents barry's wife)

    yep... last time the Lakers were sucking Stern allowed the mid-season theft of All-Star Pau Gasol for the rotting corpse of Kwame Brown and the unproven-not yet ripe younger Gasol brother. Marc obviously panned out, but that trade was still largely one-sided given the cir stances that season.

    Bottom line, they got Marc Gasol. He is like 5 years younger and appears to have higher ceiling as a true center than Pau as a Center being forced to played PF. That trade gets killed for no reason. I hate Stern as much as the next guy, but that trade can't be included especially when they aren't gonna make the post season and the Griz are going to finish no worse than 5th in the west.

    The Lakers moved Vlade for Kobe you can't bash a trade immediately after it happens. Wait a couple of seasons and then go to town.

    Piggybacking off of the song reference in the le of this thread, I felt like reworking some lyrics (ala timvp) to a well know song, as a way to express my absolute delight over the troubles our favorite team to hate is having. Hope you guys enjoy.



    Life is a funny thing
    sometimes, you just want to sing
    the Lakers, are a ty team
    that is the new internet meme

    Dwight got signed, and the Lakers were pumped
    Nash as well, the whole league they thought they'd jumped
    but they got burned, burned, burned, the Lakers' pride
    that Lakers' pride

    Kome is still, shooting like it's 1 on 5
    and D'antoni, a clue he can't buy
    watch it burn, burn, burn, that Lakers' pride
    that Lakers' pride

    The sight, of your enemy
    eating , it sure is sweet
    incompetence, is their new norm
    a new laughing stock, has been born

    Let's all hold hands, and chant it out together
    the Lakers, with a broomstick not a feather
    Laugh as it burns, burns, burns, that Lakers' pride
    that Lakers' pride

    the Lakers, with a box of rusty hammers
    Jump with joy, mediocrity's now their master
    Watch it burn, burn, burn, that Lakers' pride
    that Lakers' pride

    And it burns, burns, burns, that Lakers' pride
    That Lakers' pride
    That Lakers' pride
    That Lakers' pride
