~*~*2009-2010 NBA Season Thread*~*~

[The Young One]

marc gasol is averaging 15/10!
they have cap space after Kwame too

and they got Darell Arthur who was pretty nice last season and can be good when he gets healthy
and they got the lakers 2010 1st rounder too

they werent going to win with Pau. instead of letting him become a FA, i'd say they did fine

I want Darrell to get out of memphis he can really play..hes just stuck in a bad situation.

About 4 minutes into the second quarter, West had some impromptu fun with a heckling fan who calls himself "Clipper Darrell" and shows up at every home game wearing a shiny and gaudy blue-and-red costume. When West went to the free throw line for the first time, Darrell went into his trademark insult: "U-G-L-Y, you ain't got no alibi. You UGLY! You UGLY!"

West broke into a big smile and clapped his hands rhythmically -- with the ball still in his hands -- and the Cavaliers' bench broke up laughing as he made the first and missed the second. This strange interlude played out again 34 seconds later -- only this time, West made both, and his teammates leaped out of their seats and celebrated as though they had just won on a buzzer-beater.

I've watched LA a couple times this year, and on all of the games he was no where to be found, probably because the very good teams won't let him leak out for easy dunks. And he definitely is not a good defender.

 

[Mexi]

Clipper Darrell is amazing

i once went to a clipper open practice and he was bugging Corey Maggette for his shoes
Maggette was cracking up

 

[Mexi]

yes he is dammit cheato

he's not all dunks anymore

im not just saying it either
ask any laker fan and they wont say anything bad about him.
he's great

 

[elcheato]

I'm already aware once a Laker becomes a fan favorite no one will trash him and he'll be overrated for life. Much like Andrew Bynum, even though some Laker fans are starting to turn on him.

 

[Mexi]

Bynum is fine

he's super talented and only 22

he had a good week too


and your still wrong about shannon
cmon, 7 points in 18 minutes

thats what the lakes need most off the bench, some scoring and good D. he's both
if he was starting he's easily be at like 14 points per

Kings suck with Kmart. SMH.

 

[elcheato]

He doesn't play defense, I don't know where you are coming from on that. Never really doubted his scoring ability, just his basketball IQ, his defense, and his ball handling/passing.

Couple years ago when LeBron was out like 6 games, Shannon averaged 20 ppg starting, however we went 0-6. He plays no defense, he makes poor decisions, he can't go left, and is just a bad ball handler in general.

Omri Casspi and Westphal had a brief-but-heated exchange in the second half of that night's loss against the Sixers, when the rookie small forward – who was already frustrated with his shortage of offensive opportunities – didn't want to be taken out of the game. A day later, Casspi and Westphal said the issue was resolved immediately.

 

[Mexi]

lol a little off topic but a couple years ago Westphaul was the Lakers pregame analyst on FSN

 

[elcheato]

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Leon Powe is entering the final stages of recovery and should be cleared to play sometime shortly after the all-star break.

 

[snipezo]

Hey would you look at that? The one that I consider the next Dirk, just outplayed Dirk today lol.

 

[.GR]

Who's the next Dirk?

 

[elcheato]

Ahhh a wonderful thing, Magic having problems finding shots for people, Vince Carter sucking, Dwight Howard under performing and the Celtics can't stay healthy

 

[MR.ballin]

Knicks win 99-91.

 

[Mexi]

Who's the next Dirk?

he said Bargnani

i read an NBA scout said that Gallinari reminds him of a young dirk

 

[MR.ballin]

Gallinari can shoot like dirk imo. Ecept Dirk is much better due to the fact he can fade away and easily make the shot

 

[cruzg24]

Mavs vs. Celtics, just in time to watch the 2nd half.
