All Purpose NBA Thread I

Ho, boy. More potential new lows for the Lakers and their HOF coach:

This is stuff that's coming to me, I'm not looking for this stuff.

Also, since the All-Star break, LAL has beaten only one team with a winning record.

That last stat surprises even me. Whoah.

 

Um, Rok........that's what happens when a team with not much talent catches the injury bug.

 

HUGE, and I mean HUGE game tonight(and pretty much this week) against the Nuggets tonight for the Lakers. Nuggets are on a 5 game winning streak and AI and Melo look like they're starting to mesh together(very scary) on the court. If they can play defense like they did against the Mavs on Friday(especially during that 4th quarter), the Lakers are gonna shit themselves.

 

Can't wait for the tip.

 

Things could change, but right now the Lakers are on pace to get blown out in DEN. And forget the scoreboard (10 point defecit), their trends are brutal. Camby already has 4+ blocks in the second quarter, and the Nugs are driving the lane with abandon. They want the 6th seed bad.

Things could change, but this is a very ominous start by the Lakers.

 

I know what you mean. It's lookin like Kobe is going have at least 40+ for his team to have any chance.

 

Man, DEN is shooting like 61%. This is not looking good. Kobe might actually have to try to take over, because no one on the Lakers is showing an ounce of heart. It's all jumpshots and stuff.

 

Correction, 64%. This one could be over by the half. This is ugly. You know I don't like the approach, but I might just unleash Kobe. Nobody else gives a sh*t right now. Unbelievable you could see this from a PJax/Kobe team, and I'm not saying that to be a jerk, I'm just really surprised.

 

Dangit, I'm not getting a signal for this game anymore.



EDIT: They switched it to the Raptors/Wolves game.

 

That's a dumb decision. Who wants to watch the Wolves?

 

Lakers killer Kleiza already has 11 points on 5-5 FGA. Whenever he sees the purple-and-gold, the rim gets about as wide as a hot air balloon.

 

Kobe Bryant has a typical Steve Nash half(9 points, 4 assists). If you're on the Suns, that's enough for at least a 10 point lead. But it's not enough when you're playing for the Lakers.

You see were I'm coming from Rok?
