2127913, Man fuckit Lakers-Celtics and Bulls-Nuggets
Posted by CherNic, Thu Feb-07-13 10:02 PM
This game is a SHITSHOW. What in the blue fuck?!
|
2127921, Completely flat from the 2nd quarter onwards
Posted by LA2Philly, Thu Feb-07-13 10:13 PM
C's doing whatever they want offensively and then not having to double defensively.
|
2127924, D'Antoni is a marvel.
Posted by themaddfapper, Thu Feb-07-13 10:17 PM
he's had, on his roster since opening day 2012, Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire, Tyson Chandler, Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, and Pau Gasol.
over that period, he's 36-45, soon to be 36-46.
he's had epic meltdowns in the two biggest markets in the country with 2 of the league's marquee teams.
this is about to fail spectacularly. take it from someone who's watched a few of these, if you ignore the basketball, there's nothing like a team in a big market in a full on death spiral. it becomes funny after a while.

2127926, Fab Melo got Greg Oden syndrome
Posted by electricflower, Thu Feb-07-13 10:27 PM
looks like hes damn near 40 already
|
2127936, difference being Oden could actually play when on the floor
Posted by Bombastic, Thu Feb-07-13 10:50 PM
|
2127927, Kobe's gonna have to average 60 for the Lakers to make the offs
Posted by BlassFemur, Thu Feb-07-13 10:28 PM
cause they suck right now.
|
2127931, Not really, he already tried that and the team was garbage
Posted by LA2Philly, Thu Feb-07-13 10:33 PM
He has to share the ball and get everyone involved as he had been doing these past 7 games (before tonight)....which resulted in much improved defensive play, effort, and a 7-1 record.
|
2127934, Boozer just gave up on defending Iggy on that fast break. Sheesh
Posted by BlassFemur, Thu Feb-07-13 10:48 PM
|
2127939, i wonder if we keep both wilson and gallo.

2127981, See very little chance of trading either.
Posted by fats, Fri Feb-08-13 01:13 AM
Gallo's become so vital to anything we do he's almost indispensable and it would take a star/superstar to make it worth it.
Conversely, Chandler really doesn't have much trade value and it only makes sense to dump him if you think his contract was an amnesty-level mistake. If he could even get his fg% in the 40's it'd be worth it for his defense.
|
2127940, Holy shit the Nuggets are deep
Posted by T Reynolds, Thu Feb-07-13 11:03 PM
I'm just waiting for the JaGenius McGee highlight of the game
|
2127943, They need to make a trade
Posted by SoulHonky, Thu Feb-07-13 11:05 PM
The depth is nice but they'd be a real contender if they could package some of that talent for a top notch star. They were going after KG and he shut it down. I'd think they'd go younger though.
|
2127948, They'd Probably Be Better of With Rudy Gay
Posted by RexLongfellow, Thu Feb-07-13 11:22 PM
Maybe not a superstar, but at the very least he's a go to guy
They've got enough pieces to trade for a star
|
2127973, Iggy and Rooster are better than Rudy
Posted by SoulHonky, Fri Feb-08-13 12:42 AM
He's the last thing they need. Granger would make more sense than Rudy.
|
2127974, i agree that they are but iggy isn't have a super year
Posted by rob, Fri Feb-08-13 12:46 AM
still the easiest position to upgrade for the nuggets given what they got would be center. especially is karl is gonna j.r. javale.
|
2127993, Yeah. I just think Rudy Gay would be a mistake
Posted by SoulHonky, Fri Feb-08-13 01:38 AM
They couldn't win with 'Melo. Why get a poor man's Melo?
I also think they should move on from George Karl.
|
2128386, i'm reaallly torn on karl
Posted by rob, Fri Feb-08-13 07:11 PM
he isn't an elite coach and he definitely holds players back. sometimes he holds teams back because he always picks his ego over talent.
but he also consistently puts winners on the court. so i can't discount that even though i feel strongly about his terribleness
|
2128393, I feel like he's a great set-up coach like Skiles
Posted by SoulHonky, Fri Feb-08-13 07:33 PM
He'll get your team winning but you should move on after a few years.
|
2127989, Agree On Them Combined
Posted by RexLongfellow, Fri Feb-08-13 01:32 AM
But Rudy is a better go-to guy than either of them. At the very least he can get you a bucket down the stretch
Granger makes a lot of sense though
|
2127994, They don't need Rudy taking 20 shots a game
Posted by SoulHonky, Fri Feb-08-13 01:42 AM
Getting Rudy would be a lateral move at best. Maybe a step back. And I'm sure his jacking and lax defense wouldn't play well with Karl.
They need an elite player; Rudy Gay isn't elite. (Neither is Granger)
|
2127942, Dre Miller baby!
Posted by BlassFemur, Thu Feb-07-13 11:04 PM

2127944, Watched the first half of Lakers Celtics. 2nd Quarter D. Ho was just
Posted by T Reynolds, Thu Feb-07-13 11:06 PM
like fucking retarded? or something?
I mean he always gets stripped but he just looked lost as fuck on D too
Kobe went down in flames man yeah this team is terrible
I don't know if I want to believe Clark can contribute consistently at this point
|
2127958, Uncharacteristically poor defensive effort from the Bulls
Posted by mashpg89, Thu Feb-07-13 11:46 PM
Thibs better be tearing into them during halftime. Not getting back on defense, not boxing out, leaving their hottest shooter wide open for threes. We looked better in the second quarter but we can't let them score so easily.
Offense is looking pretty good, gotta keep going to Boozer and let Nate Robinson create his own shot. Good shooting from Cook & Butler. Bill Cosby is playing well but needs to stop turning it over. Noah looking 60% himself out there.
We're lucky we're only down by 5.
I really don't like Faried. I respect him as a player, but for some reason I don't like him.
|
2127963, Faried is a boss
Posted by CherNic, Fri Feb-08-13 12:00 AM

2127966, This Rip situation is slowly evolving into a Bogans thing
Posted by RandomFact, Fri Feb-08-13 12:20 AM
He's regressing yet still starting.
I understand the situation tonight cause we're shorthanded, but I would be just fine with him not playing once Rose gets back. Start Buckets or Marco and let this team thrive for 48 minutes.
|
2127968, his +/- is at -28 tonight
Posted by mashpg89, Fri Feb-08-13 12:25 AM
His ego is too big to come off the bench though. Which is some bullshit, but unfortunately is part of the conversation.
Thibs had some shitty substitutions tonight too, waits til we're down 20 to make a change.
This whole game is embarassing, I feel like a laker fan.
|
2127971, he needs to be traded for a big
Posted by RandomFact, Fri Feb-08-13 12:29 AM
nazr's corpse is useless.
|
2128010, Who the fuck is giving you a big for Rip Hamilton?
Posted by Bombastic, Fri Feb-08-13 02:58 AM
I wouldn't trade you Spencer Hawes' iPod for that dude.
|
2128012, Rip's basically an expiring contract.
Posted by SoulHonky, Fri Feb-08-13 03:04 AM
Next year's contract is only partially guaranteed (or a team option, can't remember which.) Any team looking to cut salary would unload a contract for him. They won't get a quality big but they could get a guy who could eat some minutes.
|
2128059, pretty much
Posted by JAESCOTT777, Fri Feb-08-13 09:30 AM
>nazr's corpse is useless.

2128018, When the Cs run you out of town....you're DONE!
Posted by FILF, Fri Feb-08-13 05:08 AM
LMAO @ Earl Clark getting molested by 40 year old Paul Pierce.
|
2128045, He's got the chester facial hair for sure
