[MorisUkunRasik]

DWill is going to ball so hard, isn't he?

 

[DY_nasty]

No Dirk, list is invalid.

No Nash

I see where they're leaning

 

[SoulPlaya]

lmao

And lol @ Hakeem being ranked 13th.

Seriously. Kobe hasn't deserved to be on there in years.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

[MorisUkunRasik]

fuck. bynum isn't playing.

Day to day. X-ray was negative.

[MorisUkunRasik]

Didn't sound serious, he'll be back soon enough.

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

fuck. bynum isn't playing.

He's being benched actually. Multiple infractions. Just using the injury as an excuse.

 

[giri]

No Nash

I see where they're leaning

I DIDN'T EVEN SAY IT!

Kobe Bryant's ranking compared to the top 25 players of all-time

No way Kobe is top 10.

All D teams are off reputation. All star games don't matter. MVP's are all about story (he could have more).

 

[Black Mamba]

nothing torn, im assuming

They didn't even take an MRI. No need. Just a minor sprain, too sore to play against the Nets.

Sweet play by Sessions there,

Pau lookin' to score tonight.

 

[Cloudy]

Lakers offense is so smooth without a 2nd 7-footer clogging the paint and no Bynum to force-feed. How anyone can deny this is beyond me

 

[Puddles]

Christ, the 76ers are useless. What kind of bullshit team lets LeBron score 41 on them?

 

[Emwitus]

No way Kobe is top 10.

LOL

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

lmfao, Baylor couldn't win rings with Wilt and West as teammates, shouldn't be top 25.

 

[obijkenobi]

The fact that neither Tim Duncan or Bruce Bowen ever won defensive player of the year tells you all you need to know about that award.

 

[Black Mamba]

Lakers have made 3 more shots and only up 3...

Fucking turnovers.

 

[ratcliffja]

Hard for the Clippers to gain any ground when the Lakers keep playing tanks. Meanwhile, the Clippers face OKC twice more this month.

That plus LeBron finishing second one year.

Lakers face okc once more and the spurs three times.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

That iggy swipe looked painful....

 

[Black Mamba]

Lakers have played a tougher strength of schedule this season and less home games and more away games (and more games).

Clippers have no right to whine.

The Clippers are the Clippers. They have every right to whine.

Touche, good sir. Touche.

Gerald Green turning the corner from horrendous to decent after so many years is so weird.

AHAHAHAHAHA MCROBERTS!!!!

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

McMOTHERFUCKING BOB


HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!

 

[Cloudy]

MCBOB OMG

 

[Emwitus]

MCBOBS Taking us Rucker!!

 

[Vic]

WOW

 

[Black Mamba]

McBobs could try to do that again every game for the rest of his career and never do it again.

Unbelievable.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Nice. It will count.

 

[Nori Chan]

I'm so glad I came back in time from my girlfriend to see McRoberts styling.

So beautiful, I got out of my seat.

 

[SoulPlaya]

Lol, great stuff.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

McBob went 2k crazy, fucked around and fucked The Nets' fathers up.

 

[Cloudy]

McBobs could try to do that again every game for the rest of his career and never do it again.

Unbelievable.

He is actually quite skilled

 

[Black Mamba]

Only thing that could have made that play better was it being called by Chick. Such a hilarious play.


Damn, Pau. Nets defense has been so bad.

He is actually quite skilled

Oh, I know, but that play was a disaster. lol

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Lakers looking decent tonight.

 

[Puddles]

What did McBobs do? I was in the kitchen.

 

[Black Mamba]

Blake guarding Morrow is stupid.

What did McBobs do? I was in the kitchen.

It'll be linked later. crazy buzzer-beater play.

 

[DY_nasty]

He is actually quite skilled

Like Webber

 

[ratcliffja]

Touche, good sir. Touche.

Gerald Green turning the corner from horrendous to decent after so many years is so weird.

AHAHAHAHAHA MCROBERTS!!!!

Just gotta add that you're one of only two laker fans that I really respect.

 

[ratcliffja]

What did McBobs do? I was in the kitchen.

Somehow ended Lebron's career. Shame you missed it.

 

[Cloudy]

So do you guys still think I'm crazy for liking the Pau/McBob frontcourt better than Pau/Drew? It's just a better fit and allows Pau to play his real game. Ball moves much better because they are both unselfish and Kobe/Ramon actually have room to drive.

Playing 2 centers together in today's NBA is DUMB on both ends

They're playing one of the worst defenses in NBA history.

Yes. They're playing the Nets. The worst FG% defensive team in the league.

Pau-Bynum combo still highest Off Efficiency on the team over Pau without Drew and Drew without Poau.


Blake for 3 again. Ramon just dishing it.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Who is the other one?

[Cloudy]

They're playing one of the worst defenses in NBA history.

And we were still scoring like 85 ppg the first half of the season playing a lot of bad teams. I really hope Drew sits out tomorrow's game and you guys will see how badly we beat the Clipps. And McBob will be a better defender against Blake than Pau

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Super LTTP because i've been on vacation in the bayarea. Best threat title ever.
