Bulls lost to the Nets. I called it, lol. If only I wasn't lazy enough to go and find the post, but damn...the Bulls are just so so terrible. Can't Bulls fans get some grace to stop supporting that joke of a team and pick another? It's only fair. I'm sick of them.

watching LeBron makes me appreciate Kobe even more

he had a great game tonight, but couldnt get the game winners

 

[elcheato]

Thats a misconception, just like how people think Kobe is still better then the King...

I thought we were gonna win in regulation. LeBron lost his handle on the potential game winning shot before the OT. If only he held onto it, he was pretty money on jumpers tonight when he wasn't highly contested. We had a big lead at half and just tried coasting, and now we have to face the Rockets in Houston on the back end of a back to back, with the first game ending in OT, I don't expect to win lol.

Hmm, not the only time I've seen or heard of James suddenly losing his handle @ the end of games. Wonder what's up with that.

Quote from an NBA.com article:

I can't make up mind. I don't know if the rest of the league should be excited that KB Bryant finally seems content with things after all these years ... or if this is some ploy to trick us all into joining him in the mental and emotional recliner just long enough for the Black Mamba to strike again.

I'm officially worried now.

And you should be too if you're not a Lakers fan.

Why is the King better than the Black Mamba?

Trying to hard to drive I'm guessing. I think he's learning he has to shoot mid range jumpers at the end of games now because you normally won't get the call at the end of the game if you drive, and at the end of games teams are geared to stop him in the paint and will do whatever they can to stop him. LeBron doesn't even need to take all of the game winners anyway. I don't understand why they can't just call a play and occasionally just get Mo or Gibs open for a 3 to win it.

Because none of their names are Derek Fisher
D.Fish has only been good for one thing so far this season, his clutchness, he's been pretty much useless the first 46 minutes or so of the game.

The good news is that Jordan Farmar has been stepping up his play big time, and playing like the Farmar I knew he could be lol. Driving, dishing, shooting, finishing at the rim, making efforts on defense, I love it.

 

[elcheato]

Mo makes big shots :unsure:

 

[Whisper]

Idk, maybe LeBron has that early career Kobe complex where he wants ALL of the big shots. That's what I hated about Kobe back then even though he was pretty damned clutch. It's better now though because if he knows he doesn't have a good shot at it he passes it off to D-Fish or someone else more than he ever did before.

 

[elcheato]

Earlier in LeBron's career he was criticized for passing on the big shots too much and making the right decisions by giving it to wide open players. Now he just pisses me off with his contested long range 'heat checks'. But he hit some ridiculous 3's last night.

 

[Whisper]

That's actually what I used to like about LeBron, when he passed up the shots I defended him for it, why not go for the higher percentage shot? One player doesn't always have to be the hero, but whatever, that's what people wanted from him. Now he's buying into it, and now it's getting to you lol

 

[elcheato]

Mike Brown got ejected while the Cavs were getting crushed by 16 before half. Now watch us win by like 10 lol.

 

[elcheato]

Every time we go into Houston we always do terrible and it seems like we never get calls.. We've been called for like 100 technicals already lol

 

[RipCity32]

Stuckey and Jerebko FTMFW.

 

[elcheato]

I'm still wondering why all of the sudden I see moving screens called on us, while I watched Dwight Howard doing it constantly last year.

Anyway, we lost in Houston like we always do.

 

[Mexi]

you remember when the knock on the Lakers was "they dont play defense"

yeah, neither do I.

Utah was down 4 to start the 4th, lose by 24!

Lakers held the Jazz to 6 fourth quarter points!
they had 2 with 2 minutes left in the 4th

WOW. some of the best D i've ever seen
yeah utah missed some shots, but wow the Lakers shut em down. holy ----

10 wins in a row.
dammit if Pau never missed those 11 games we would be on pace with those Bulls > _>
SMH

 

[Whisper]

This Lakers team is just unreal, I don't even know what to say about them. Offense, defense, where's the weakness? The platoon of Brown and Farmar have done more than make up for the Fishes deficiency.

 

[Mexi]

lakers could easily be 20-0 right now
ok fine, 19-1
