I know it\'s waaaay early but my tickets to the annual San Diego exhibition game just came in the mail !
Lakers will be playing Charlotte on the 23rd.
Well Phil seems to think the team can win 50 if "everything goes as planned"(said w/ that Phil smirk). Kareem is FINALLY an active member of the Laker family again which can only bode well for us.
Go Lakers!
good timing, I was about to start this myself. Celtic Pride, muthafucka!
LOS ANGELES LAKERS!!! Represent, represent.
That\'s one! Man this team has a Looooong way to go.
Great game. Tremendous effort by the Lakers. Outstanding performances by Kobe and Smush Parker. Horrendous showings by Mihm and Odom. Devean George\'s 3\'s were key. And the Kings are 0-2. Pacific Division title is the goal.
Well after a game that they could have had if they were a bit more experienced, they came out tonight and made sure this game w/ Denver would not come down to a last shot. Great Ball movement. Mihm was actually a factor in the middle. Smush is gonna be real good in this system. Odom played REAL well. Bench players scored. THIS IS LAKER BASKETBALL!!! Fun game tonight Happy Birthday Lamar!
Another game where they blew a big lead on a team worse than them which @ this point is not many.
Lucky call for Kobe @ the end of the game and luckily it was the Jazz the Lakers were playing as they won in OT.
Smush is coming along well though that was a big +.
More of a Celtics fan. Like any other sport, I watch players now-in-days more then teams.
Basketball more so then any other sport, I tend to watch the last 2-3 minutes of the game. If it is a close game, then all the excitement is showcased then, if it is a blowout then I know who is going to win. No sense in watching all the "fluff"
Well since my current address is Oakland, I gotta hand it to the Warriors on a successful debut to the 2005-2006 season. I\'m going to see my first NBA game when the Celtics roll into town this month.
leith/pitch - if you guys don\'t already have it, amazon has the Lakers Dynasty Series 5-DVD set on sale for $24.97 (62% off):
they also have the Bulls and Celtics sets on sale for retarded prices:
i have the lakers set already, but i\'m thinking about getting the other 2 based on the price alone..
Dave as a Laker fan you should not be buying ANY celtics merch. Come ON GUY!!!
Didn\'t everyone in the media blast Kobe for supposedly "outing" Shaq from L.A.?
Funny how all these ass-kissing suits turn a blind eye when Shaq practically gets Stan Van Gundy fired, even though the Heat reached the Eastern Conference finals last year and are still one of the NBA\'s best teams. And it\'s also bizarre how they don\'t kill Riley like they kill Phil for "only winning with superstars."
Guess you have to choose your enemies based on who it\'s trendy to praise and who it\'s trendy to criticize.
You won\'t be criticizing the Los Angeles Lakers today for posting the biggest win of the season in Dallas behind a ridiculously clutch three from #8.
Also, Dave, thanks for looking out with the low-priced merch. Make sure you enjoy those highlights from the 1984 and 1991 NBA Finals when you spraypaint your living room walls green and red.
Thank you for the opening Pitch. I thought the same thing when I found out Riles was comin\' back. Shaq is a fuckin\' jerk. He played Kobe for some mad cash and punked one of the best owners in the business while doing so. He is still fat AND missing games just like he always does.
Kobe is still clutch. Shaq still sux!
