Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - SPREAD ON A LITTLE MAYO

JR Smith is playing on a bad back and looks in real pain....so the Nets pass it to his matchup (Wallace) who holds the ball for a grand total of .5 seconds

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - SPREAD ON A LITTLE MAYO

You know what I find funny? Kobe had 42 points on over 50% shooting tonight and Dwight had 19 points, 20 rebounds and the Lakers still lost to the Cavs.
Imagine Dwight's line if he could make his free throws! Cleveland is one of the worst teams in the league right now (better than Washington!) & the Lakers still lost to them. There's really no more excuses at this point. We're more than twenty games into the season & the Lakers still don't have a direction. Sports media will talk about how they had to switch gears from the Mike Brown Princeton offense to the D'Antoni offense or whatever but D'Antoni has been there how long so far? And he's already talking about them not playing hard or having any spirit.

I think Kobe is the only one that gives a fuck because he wants another ring. But they surround him with old broken guys (like Nash) or young, immature, don't-give-a-fuck guys (like Howard) & now we're all just sitting around waiting for the implosion.

How a team with Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, Steve Nash & Pau Gasol can be a sub .500 team, I have no idea, but here with are. A bad back, trade rumors, blame-shifting, cheap shots in the media, missed free throws, bad defense, etc.

They're slowly becoming the NBA version of the 2011 Philly Eagles and 2012 Boston Red Sox.
Hey now, the Red Sox are not even in the same stratosphere when it comes to the other two...But yeah, Lakers better figure it out quick because last thng they want is to see Memphis or OKC in the 1st rd..To avoid that, they basically can't lose more than about 12 games rest of the way right to get top 5?


follower pointed out that if this doesn't work out for him, d'antoni will have failed in the top 2 markets. that's bad for the rep.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - SPREAD ON A LITTLE MAYO

some of you guys are legit retarded, I swear to god. we're a top heavy team missing two of our four stars.


Take away Bosh/Allen see how well the Heat do(Allen may not seem huge but they would have at least 3 more losses without his clutch play).

Take away Ibaka/Martin see how well the Thunder do.

Take away Conley/Marc see how well the Grizzles do.

Take away...nevermind, the Spurs would do just fine.


We're not anything like the Sox or Eagles as we haven't even see our team at full strength yet. Until then we know literally nothing, and yes I meant to use literally as it is the case. This team will be VERY different once Nash gets back.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - SPREAD ON A LITTLE MAYO

Your team will still be a shit defensive team once Nash gets back, which is the one of the main reasons why you guys get your asses kicked on the regular. You still have one of the worst coaches in the NBA. Dwight Howard will still be a liability down the stretch. You guys will still be an old, injury prone team.

The only thing that will change with the return of Nash is that your offense will probably improve. But that's about it.

You say we're legit retarded because we're comparing the Lakers to the Eagles & Red Sox, I think you're legit retarded if you think the Lakers problems will be gone with the return of Nash.

Did I say he would fix all our problems? No. But you know what our two biggest problems are? Transition defense and turnovers. The latter causes the former. Those are the two BIGGEST problems by a FAR margin. You know who would greatly fix BOTH of those problems by simply fixing one? Nash. You know nothing about my team and what handicaps it so don't act like you do; every team has it's problems and some of those problems are hard or impossible to fix and don't get fixed even while winning championships. The 3-peat Lakers and the team that repeated both had problems but you learn to play with them and manage to win with them.


Were the Eagles and Sox plagued by injuries? I dont know about the Sox, but I know that the Eagles werent. They just sucked. And maybe the Lakers will too, but at least wait and find out because we re currently missing two of our four top stars and that makes a HUGE difference. Which is why I called you guys retarded, you seem to ignore that fact completely when assessing the team.
