Re: Annnnnndddddd Houston is plummeting! #Linsanity
If the Los Angeles Lakers have to choose between Coach Mike D'Antoni, his shitty offense & his no defense, or Pau Gasol, how does D'Antoni win that decision?
Did you see the starting line-up? D'Antoni says that they have to run more, really? One of the slowest teams in the entire league, with some of the best inside game/potential defense in the league, and he wants to run, not play D and not go to the post.
What the fuck?
Just fire his stupid ass already. Phoenix Suns basketball doesn't work in L.A. with Howard, Gasol, Artest & Kobe.
Dwight Howard was a bad pick-up. Steve Nash was a bad pick-up. Treating Gasol like this is a bad move. Not bringing in Phil Jackson was a bad move. The only good thing the Lakers have done all year is fire Mike Brown but they just replaced him with an equally inept head coach. They going to bring in Avery Johnson next? Or Paul Westphal?
I don't think Howard has been healthy or given a fuck the whole time, nor wanted to come to L.A. in the first place, and now it looks like the team has quit on this coach just like they quite on the last coach. Kobe obviously still wants to win & wants another title. Terrible shooting night for him tonight but he has ZERO fucking help on a team with multiple all-stars!

Without a doubt. Every week is non-stop laughs, good basketball insight, once in a while they'll have a skit or something, good interviews, overall it's top notch production wise and Chuck/Ernie/Kenny and now Shaq are just amazing together.

This team is getting really hard to even watch.
Pardon me but how was Dwight Howard or Nash a bad pick up? Dwight is the best center in the league and has been injured throughout the season thus far and has been getting back to form. Trading an injury prone center that hasn't even managed to play a game this year isn't a bad move for the best center in the league.
And Nash, he certainly hasn't made us worse and we got him for some picks. His defense is terrible, but we really didn't have any other decent options and we went with what seemed like a sure bet in Nash.
This wasn't the expected result and hindsight is hell of thing because there are a few number of people that expected the Lakers to be this bad as in not even in the playoff picture midway through the season.

Now Kobe is talking about live tweeting his 81-point game?
Re: Annnnnndddddd Houston is plummeting! #Linsanity
I just tried talking to you rationally and you ignored my post. What did I say that was irrational? Our players failed expectations but trading away next nothing to acquire two top players was not a bad move in any way at the time.

What an awful team Lakers are. Very, very awful. They should be locked up for impersonating a basketball team. It's fraudery. It really is.
Great games from Heinrich and the ever improving Jimmy Butler. This kid can be a very good player. Of course we have to take this with a pinch of salt, as they were up against a terrible team.
