Laker bench in? Time to bleed points

 

[Brinbe]

Doesn't help that the Lakers bench is terribad

 

[DY_nasty]

That's part of the problem I see with Dwight. 2 fouls already in the 1st quarter, if that happens on the playoffs, Lakers lose his defensive presence and turn into 2011-bad Lakers.

Eh... I don't think its that bad actually. Defense was never the Lakers key issue in 2011. The offense was trash. I'd expect things to pick up once they get some chemistry though. They are working with Mike Brown afterall.

Here comes the bench...

 

[Tabris]

Vancouver Grizzles fo' life.

I used to work with someone who looked EXACTLY like Big Country.

 

[Nori Chan]

suwoo

 

[Max Sterling]

sigh yup the bench mob...

 

[pompidu]

Here comes the bench...

Good time to take a shit.

 

[Knux-Future]

fuck you Meeks.


we needed dat shit last year.

[Branduil]

Your team is stupid. I agree.

It's not like other GM's aren't stupid. It's just that GM's only matter when they're exceptionally stupid and ruin their natural advantages. Does anybody believe that Mitch Kupchak would have put together this Lakers team if they still played in Minnesota?

 

[Dominican Power]

That Lakers bench.

ahuahuhauhuah eddy mcflurry

 

[Vandiger]

Liking the bench so far.

 

[StickSoldier]

Ight get Curry outta there, failed debut.

 

[Byakuya769]

Eddy Curry.

 

[charsace]

If Eddie Curry actually gave a shit about basketball he would be a top center. He has one of the best post games in the league.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Well this team knows how to pass so far...

 

[JoeFu]

I bet if the ball was a burger Curry would've caught it.

 

[bigboss370]

well fuck me did they sprinkle magic dust or something on that bench?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Deron was going to sign with Dallas though, until he realized that Joe Johnson and filler was better than whatever the fuck Cuban was doing with the roster.

and that Cuban couldn't even be bothered to show up to the pitch meeting. But no, Brandy is right. Poor small market Dallas can't attract free agents. I mean, look at how the Rangers and Cowboys struggle to get big name free agents.

Bench mob doesn't rely on Metta.

I still don't understand why he doesn't.

 

[Fenderputty]

Bench isn't sucking total ass?

Glad Hill is back.

 

[Nelo Ice]

Passing is so crisp!

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

I bet if the ball was a burger Curry would've caught it.

He'd do more than catch it.

 

[Knux-Future]

Kobe looked like an alien in that commercial....

 

[Max Sterling]

Carlise hit that quick timeout when the bench started looking good.

 

[Pkaz01]

is nash playing tomorrow?

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

We will, then we shit talk until the Heat and Lakers meet.

No doubt, no diggity.

 

[Vire]

Mavs will be lucky to make the Playoffs this year.

Thing is, and if we are talking about playoff time, that most of the teams will be more in tune than a 1st year team and they should take advantage of the situation.

Edit: Nice comeback by the Lakers. They do need the bench to produce and help on offense.

 

[SoulPlaya]

Brandon Wright could be really good, with the right attitude, and he looks like he has it.

You do realize that the NFL and MLB are different sports, right?

I mean if the NBA actually cared about parity, yeah, things would be different. But Stern and his cronies don't and never will care about that.

 

[Pimpwerx]

I love posts like these. Because they immediately discount the untimely turnovers, missteps, bad shots, defensive lapses that literally just occurred in the game that anyone could've seen.

Wade is a loooong ways from the player he was 3 years ago. He's still "good", but he's definitely not going to age as gracefully as Kobe.

What? Kobe has had entire seasons of playing like Wade did tonight. Wade has these kinds of nights every now and then, but not that much. Despite an admittedly bad night, he was still 10-22 from the field. That's not bad for an off night. PEACE.

 

[The Insane Dufresne]

I'm not even a Pistons fan...in fact I didn't like you guys too much (Yall used to beat us for free) but I will never forgive Dumars for those contracts.


seriously wtf.

Villanueva, no fucking clue...

Gordon, he ignored the rest of his career and just watched that '09 Celtics playoff series...


But, you guys are kicking the Pistons ass now...

Thad Young would be in the Hall of Fame if he played against the Pistons for 82 games, lol

 

[theignoramus]

im dyin over here with these curry jokes.

 

[Brinbe]

Down 4 isn't too bad considering they're sans Dirk.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

Curry is playing basketball and I said wow

 

[Nelo Ice]

You won a title....

 

[StickSoldier]

Mavs actually scored 24 without Dirk and Kaman? that's a good sign, but Kaman can't get back soon enough so we can have less Curry.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Calling it now, Lakers end up losing by 5.

You won a title....

Even a broken clock is right twice.

 

[JoeFu]

Wow first quarter wasn't as bad as I thought it would've been.

 

[cashman]

Wow, look at Roddy B run the point.

 

[Vire]

Calling it now, Lakers end up losing by 5.

No way, Lakers bench is bad, but jesus christ Eddy Curry!

 

[StickSoldier]

Wow, look at Roddy B run the point.

You know RC is in so much pain right now, having to give Roddy playing time.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

No way, Lakers bench is bad, but jesus christ Eddy Curry!

Just watch. They didn't call me DouchebagProphet back in the day due to my looks.

 

[Branduil]

You won a title....

Should have had two.

 

[Byakuya769]

You won a title....

After getting to the finals a few years prior.

 

[LyleLanley]

Mavs will be lucky to make the Playoffs this year.

This is news to you?
