    Shaq steals Nash's idea

    Successfuly contradicts? Ohhh, the looking at videos posted on suns.com? Laughable. What do I have to refute? There is no shortage of articles on all the troubles he has had with players, coaches, and management on every team he has played for. You have to be a delusional Shaq supporter to not...

    Shaq steals Nash's idea

    ...and it's not like Shaq has a history of butting heads and burning bridges with teamates, coaches, and management. :biglaugh: He's even upped his game this year by courting the Lakers for the 2010 season before he even starts his 2009 season with the Cavs. Shaq is a douche. Shaq..... I told...

    This is BS

    Because I have played with guys like that. You try to teach defense and a structured offense and they find it boring. They would rather play up tempo and score tons individually even if it results in a loss. You can argue that the Spurs play boring basketball and the Suns play exciting all you...

    Lamar Odom to return to Lakers

    It will come... He has to get a couple months with the new team first. Or maybe the 4th time is a charm and he finally grew up a little. Well see.

    Lamar Odom to return to Lakers

    It's going to be interesting watching Snaq kiss LBJ's hiney all season.

    This is BS

    So you are like that one guy on every team thats over pouting after a victory and when asked why they are down they reply with the "i didnt get my touches" remarks. The I would rather lose and score 25 than win and score 7 guy. Ill take the boring victory over the entertaining loss anyday.

    Things I can't believe

    The one-sided nature of the trade inspired a lot of people to believe that retired Memphis GM, Jerry West, a Lakers’ legend, played a part in facilitating the deal. West was instrumental recruiting Wallace as his replacement in Memphis and still holds a close relationship with Heisley. His...

    Are the Lakers Ruining the NBA?

    I think parity is a two edged sword for a sports league. The obvious result is that any team can win any given year. However, a smaller subset of elite teams creates rivalries and in turn the enthusiasm, ferver, and interest even amoungst fans of the non rival teams that come with them.

    Are the Lakers Ruining the NBA?

    Ok... then how's that attitude worked for the Knicks or Mavs.... I just used the Yankees as an example because they have long been known for trying to "buy the championship". My comments were to point out that regardless of how much you spend, you have to make quality decisions and still play...

    Are the Lakers Ruining the NBA?

    How's that attitude worked for the Yankees over the last 6 years? You still have to get the right players who compliment each other, you still have to play the games. Granted, if you have the finances and are willing to use them it gives you an advantage but it doesnt guarantee you anything. On...

    Artest to Lakers

    I hear what you are saying... but just because the payroll is huge it does not guarantee anything. Look at the Yankees the last 5 years as an example. And the league isnt letting them. The Lakers are paying a steep fine in the luxury tax. They just happen to have an owner who values winning over...

    Artest signing with Lakers

    They will let Ariza go. Odom will resign. Odom and Artest are childhood friends and though Ron is bonkers, he is a major upgrade to Ariza. PJ and Kobe will keep him in check. Most the time at least. Edit... WOW... I just realized... Steeldog and I actually agreed on something! *looking out the...

    Artest to Lakers

    They will resign Odom and let Ariza walk. Odom and Artest grew up together and are best friends. As for how the Lakers can afford it, Morrison will be off the books next year and 2 years in a row now of extra revenue that comes from going to the finals not to mention the damn prices at the...

    Odom?

    Thank you! I wouldn't trade Odom sraight across for Amare much less and old washed up Wallace. Odom and Ariza are going nowhere. All the talk is just posturing from agents to squeeze out what they can. Nothing more.

    Nash Requested Shaq Be Traded

    Yeah... not a secret anymore. I'm curioUs if Nash will be admonished like Kobe was for years for supposedly running Shaq out of town. I'm guessing not!

    Will the Nuggets or the Magic get fair calls?

    It's possible Stern was was abandoned as a child and raised by coyote's in the Phoenix desert and therfore instructs the leagues office and refs to do everything in their power to make the existence of anything Phoenix miserable. But until you can PROVE it, its just more conjecture like all the...

    Will the Nuggets or the Magic get fair calls?

    I have no complaints with the calls in the 2 games. A few bad ones both ways. Certainly fair. Absolutely not the huge favoritism so many here predicted for the Lakers on the Lakers home court.

    09 Playoffs-Lakers Vs Nuggets

    So we will have to agree to disagree. However, again for the sake of argument, lets say Billups didnt ever have his hands on the ball prior to Nene getting involved. Then the proper call is time out Lakers because Kobe was calling for it just a Billups was reaching PRIOR to Nene's involvment...

    09 Playoffs-Lakers Vs Nuggets

    The Lakers did not lose because of the call. Aparently many here do not see the sarcasim in the posts. Yes it was a bad call, that's obvious. But the Lakers lost this game with terrible shot selection to close out quarters, missed clutch free throws, and a hard fought game by the Nuggets who...

    09 Playoffs-Lakers Vs Nuggets

    I believe its quite obviouos Nene had his hands on the ball. Duh. I said, Billups had it first. Nothing difficult to understand there.

    Will the Nuggets or the Magic get fair calls?

    Has nothing to do with Laker goggles. Billups had the ball first. Regardless, for the sake of argument lets say Nene should have been in the jump. Smith ran through the lane. It was obvious and for you to say it doesnt matter because someone else should have been jumping is just illogical. My...

    09 Playoffs-Lakers Vs Nuggets

    If he did it wasn't many. He stopped taking it to the basket. Biggest reason the Lakers lost was settling for jump shots down the stretch.

    Will the Nuggets or the Magic get fair calls?

    Talk about sticking to the facts. The facts are that Billips tied gasol up first then Nene came in. The jump goes to the first. Get real. And if you feel anyone who doesnt believe their is corruption in the NBA is stupid then put up some facts that ACTUALLY PROVE it! And we are not talking...
