Thanks, LSM.

Your team fought very hard. I was impressed by Kwame in particular--I had expected to see game 7 Kwame for most of the series, not just the last game.


LA has been good for Kwame...I really like watching him play. From my standpoint it's a damn shame he had such a bad Game 7 because now half of the Laker fans are discounting his last 20 some games of the regular season and proclaiming him a bust. Same with Odom...bunch of **** Laker fans.

A lot of Laker fans are fickle bastards...

Kwame did show that he belongs in the league, but I'm still unconvinced he will ever live up to being a #1 pick.

I doubt that myself. But he can be an 14-8 to 17-10 guy, potentially..and I'll take that in a heartbeat. He already guards bigs extremely well. All his problems are mental...including his drops and hurried shots at the rim.

I think 17-10 is a pipe dream, but 14-8? Maybe.

I think that Kareem and Phil will help kwame develop into a good center. Its only been 1 year of real training for him. Barbosa took 3 and Diaw needed the right opportunity and system. Odom is for real, but he shouldnt be the point. The lakers need a good point guard and they will be there. A good point guard cuts down on turnovers and this series would be a different story.

You trying to put salt in my wound??? :D

I've been saying this for a long, long time for this team. I was teased into thinking we had one when we got Payton, but then I was slapped in the face by a PG cancer who wouldn't run the triangle.

At least he's Miami's problem now. Hee hee!

Maybe you should look for PGs that run circles. They're easier to find.

He'll live up to being the #1 overall pick the day that Steve Nash does a facial on Dwight Howard. Ain't gonna happen. Ever.

He'll be good, but he'll never come close to a number one.

Maybe I've had my eyes violated too many times from junk e-mail in the company inbox this week, but I would love it if we could find another way to describe the unlikelihood of Nash dunking on Howard.

Photoshop, anyone?
