2010-11 Regular Season

[LakersFan_33]

Terrible game for the Lakers tonight...Their philosophy is to pace themselves during the regular season, but sometimes they go overboard, like tonight. I'm still confident in their core, and what they can do...They'll bounce back.

Man, I sure do hope so. I must admit, if LA would lose every single game from now until Apr I'd be happy and content, but I expect you all to get it together by then.

Clip of Kobe getting tossed.

Did you hear the Lakers' announcer at the end of the clip? "Ooh ... it looked like he was moving back in the restricted area!" ... what a bunch of crap! His feet were as planted as they can get ... it was the right call, but when Kobe doesn't get appropriately stroked to his satisfaction by the officials, (especially in "his" house), he throws a hissy-fit! Love it. (TP)

Another interesting game coming soon to Staples Ctr on Jan.16th...road game for the Lakers aganist the Clippers.The Clips are playing a lot better lately.A lost to Poster Child(Blake Griffin)& the Clippers would probably be more embarrassing for the Lakers than any other game they will play.

Haha, and they showed the worst possible angles.

The Mavs vs Heat game from a few days ago is very good. Lots of quality play from both sides.

Miami badly needs to move Mario Chalmers back into the starting lineup. He is a far superior player vs Arroyo and a much better fit. I love his activity defensively; especially playing the passing lanes, getting deflections and creating turnovers.

Chalmers has legitimate three point range unlike Arroyo who is constantly stepping 5 feet inside the three point arc when James or Wade are going to work. Chalmers would create much better spacing for that starting lineup.

Tyson Chandler has played superb defense. He is back to his best defensively. Where he was 2-3 years ago in New Orleans.

Dwyane Wade did a terrific job in the second unit while LeBron was in foul trouble. The ball movement was superb. Got everyone involved with his passing and quick decision making. The quickness in attack was in stark contrast to LeBron's over-dribbling over the ball. 

Nice to see Mike Miller get back on the court too during that stretch.

Spurs losing to the Nuggets in the 4th.

Minnesota is absolutely terrible.

In the words of Sir Charles. "Kevin Garnett is rollin' over in his grave"

I have no clue how Love is putting up these numbers, he has no athleticism to speak of and cant even jump, two things you need for rebounds. I guess he has twice as much effort as he does hops. 

Minnesota gives up a wide open dunk with 13 seconds left in the game? Horrible team.

[Megatron]

Wow the Spurs announcers are homers!

I thought Tommy was bad but these guys are worse!

After every Spurs shot = "AHHHHHHHHWOWOWOWOWOWOWWO! TIMMAYYY!!!! NEALLLLLLLL! YES!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GODDDDDD!!""

[CelticSooner]

Looks like the Spurs are going to win again. Just a team that knows how to close out games.

[Who]

The Bulls should have started Taj Gibson instead of Kurt Thomas.

Taj Gibson is the only Bulls big man who can come remotely close to defending Amare Stoudemire. Kurt Thomas and Carlos Boozer are simply too slow to defend against Amare's face up game.

[housecall]

Its just a guess but Taj hasn't been 100%healty lately...it could be why Tibbs doesn't want to put that big of assignment on him today.

[Who]

Taj Gibson plays 6 minutes in the first half. Not a single one of them against Amare Stoudemire (edit: played final minute of first half against Amare, due to foul trouble for K.Thomas, Amare didn't take a shot).

Thibs immediately brought Kurt Thomas back into the game once Amare returned in the second quarter. So far, Amare has 18 points on 9-13 shooting from the field against K.Thomas & friends.

Strange decision

[Who]

Taj Gibson plays 7 minutes in the first half. Not a single one of them against Amare Stoudemire.

Thibs immediately brought Kurt Thomas back into the game once Amare returned in the second quarter. So far, Amare has 18 points on 9-13 shooting from the field against K.Thomas & friends.

Strange decision

Taj comes on, checks Amare ... and does a good job contesting Amare's runner in the lane and forces Amare into a miss. Nice.

Keep Taj on Amare. He's the Bulls best hope of slowing Stoudemire down.

[Who]

Amare Stoudemire and Derrick Rose with 7 turnovers each.

Sloppy game at times.
