LOL.

 

[KidA Seven]

:lol

 

[Herpes Reasons]

this detroit team is bad.
lakers bad.

 

[aznpxdd]

Ugh...Kobe is gonna be a pile of dust at the minutes he's playing...4th game into the damn season.

 

[Nori Chan]

Is this how a W feels like?

sooooo gooood

 

[Emwitus]

One thing you can't question is his defensive effort and his speed. That last shot he took before he went back to the bench is exactly what the Lakers don't want from him.

He shouldn't ever try to create his own shot. He's not a good enough offensive player to even try.

So true. Lakers need defense and control more than his offensive game.

23 pt lead? Naw we might lose it keep him in.

 

[filler]

Fuck yeah, eat shit Detroit. Parade is back on!!!

 

[reilo]

Am I the only one that noticed that Durant is averaging 15RPG in three games?

 

[fredrancour]

Looks like I'm going to be chanting "REST KOBE" a lot this season.

sooooo gooood

It's beautiful.

 

[Xplatformer]

You guys keep bringing up Ebanks as the shooting guard off the bench. Aren't shooting guards suppose to be athletic enough to create their own shot against other shooting guards?


Ebanks is too lanky, and is not as coordinated as ...say, a Trevor Ariza.

The problem with the Lakers is that they don't have a decent shooting guard backup.

Rest all the starters why are they still in!?.

 

[theignoramus]

Bill Simmons talked this Pistons team up on one of his grantland podcasts.

 

[Nori Chan]

It's beautiful.

more paint stuff please

 

[Herpes Reasons]

Rest all the starters why are they still in!?.

because, it just makes too much sense.

 

[The Insane Dufresne]

My god Blake is bad....

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

He understands its the only way he'll get the ball.

The good thing about Morris is he only plays 10-15 a game so he can play full court defense and put pressure on without having to worry about expending too much energy.

 

[Flash]

how and why is prince STILL on that team? insane... completely forgot about him.

 

[Nori Chan]

What a pass by MWP and finish by Old Snake

 

[Fenderputty]

MWP with the sweet pass!

 

[Cloudy]

Oh Kobe!

 

[Herpes Reasons]

kobe, tits and ass brah.

 

[Nelo Ice]

I don't understand these rotations. Play whole quarter rest 4 mins then play rest of quarter really?? Would not be surprised to see the starters play 35+ still at this rate.

 

[The Insane Dufresne]

So Mike Brown is going to sit the starters, right?

 

[KidA Seven]

Holy fuck metta

 

[fredrancour]

Metta has stopped his unneeded drives. Kobe is nowhere near as goddamn stupid as he was last year. The only symptom of the epidemic of dumb left is the coach who's never heard the word "rotation" before.

 

[Conflict NZ]

So Mike Brown is going sit the starters, right?

Don't think Kobes gonna let himself be taken out before he hits 20 points.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Damn. Kobe and Metta were Batman and Robin for a half a minute there.

 

[white dynamite]

So Mike Brown is going to sit the starters, right?

In the locker room. Maybe.

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

dat veteran leadership...probably wants a job with the Pistons when he's done playing.

 

[Nelo Ice]

Well since it's a playoff game, Brown is gonna need to play them since he can't risk losing a 28 point lead.

 

[filler]

Metta World Maniac with the half time dagger, love it!

 

[Forceatowulf]

[Xplatformer]

In case people can't tell, I am really rooting for Darius Morris. I don't even need him to be good. I just need him to not suck, and play defense.


The only way for this to happen is for him to get playing time so the game slows down for him.


That said...the Pistons are fools gold. I need to see the Lakers and Darius play ok against an average NBA team.

 

[KidA Seven]

So Mike Brown is going to sit the starters, right?

 

[bjb]

Fortunately for the Lakers the Pistons just absolutely suck.

Kyle Singler leading the team in scoring at the half. Kyle Singler.

 

[fredrancour]

Well, that would earn him the backup pg spot. I expect him to prove he does deserve that spot, and that brown will never play him again after nash returns. I expect this because mike brown will do whatever generates the most hate in my heart. Also, kobe will average 38 minutes, win the scoring title, and all of his joints will explode during the first round of the playoffs.

 

[Syphon Filter]

The lakers are back.

 

[diehard]

The lakers are back.

just like the Knicks

one of dy's favorite players from his favorite school

 

[The Insane Dufresne]

Tuesday- Jazz/Lakers will be good.......They get to see a good front court

 

[Xplatformer]

Too be fair, if tonights opponent were the Dallas Mavericks...and the Lakers were to play with tonights effort, I think the Lakers would beat them.


The Lakers aren't a bad basketball team. They are a confused basketball team.

 

[KingGondo]

I noticed.

I don't think anyone's seriously said that they were bad overall, just their bench and how they've been managed by the coach. They're giving a good effort tonight, but I still can't see them beating the Spurs or Clippers in a 7 game series. My opinion of the Thunder has dropped because YNB is playing idiot ball, so maybe they can actually beat the Thunder, but not all three.

 

[DominoKid]

i really hope mike brown gets the starters some rest.

 

[Nori Chan]

I noticed.

No you didn't.

You were noticing Trent Richardson not getting the ball on 3rd and short

 

[Nelo Ice]

Ok Mike Brown it's ok to bench the starters..
