All Purpose NBA Thread I

I know what it tells me about the NBA Champions last year.

 

3 rings Rok. 3 rings.....

 

Rok ... DEAD.TO.ME!

Besides, the Cubs won't win 68 games this year anyway

 

I wondered when that was going to hit. You really must have been lit last night.

Yeah, the Cubs suck. We're all shocked.

 

Ok, I no longer have to lobby for Kobe not to be considered for the MVP award.

He's taken himself out of the race:

Nothing like 'withdrawing' from a race you had no chance of winning.

 

Um...he was getting consideration Rok.

If anyone else had of done this, they would've said "Oh, well that guy is a class act. What a great guy. You see kids, he only cares about winning."

I'm sure Rok was thinking ".........What a selfish brat. He dosn't respect the MVP award etc."

and you know it Rok

 

yes, I was lit. I told you I tried to outdrink some hockey players. Didn't go over too well.

 

You posted last night?

I know you were lit. Just having fun with you.

 

Chicago and Cleveland better be concerned about playing MIA in the 1st round, or they better pray MIA is as banged up as they are now, or else one of those teams is going out in round 1.

 

Kobe for 50!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lakers for 'L.'

 

Lakers will hit .500 tomorrow, after PHX whacks them at PHX.

M-V-P, baby. MVP.

 

Rok, you love stats. It seems you always are most vocal when Kobe scores a lot and the Lakers lose. Well, here's a one for ya: The Lakers are 12-4 when Bryant scores 40+ points. The Lakers are 6-2 when he scores 50+ points. They're 2-0 when he scores 60+.

That's a pretty good percentage. The bottom line is, the Lakers need Bryant score like that if they're going to have any chance at winning. Why? Because Odom is gutless. Smush is NBDL. Walton is a role player at best. Bynum is a teenager. Turiaf is all heart.

And, quit harping on the assists. Frankly, I'm amazed that Bryant averages as many assists as he does (5.1) with the players he's surrounded by. You're right, the Lakers are gonna get smashed by Phoenix. No surprise there and it doesn't pain me to say that. But, I think that there've been some positives to this season. Turiaf has been a revelation and I think Jackson needs to find a spot for him in the starting lineup next season. Bynum has shown vast potential and next year will be the year we find out if he can be a legit force at center. And, Farmar will be an upgrade over Smush at point next season. If the Lakers can deal Odom with a package of players/picks for an upgrade at forward, then I'll be happy.
