Who says no?

LOL

That would be completely awful if Morris pans out at all.

 

[charsace]

when did i say this "last time"?

and yes, it will be a blowout. quote me on it.

lol salty.

 

[thekad]

exarkun: Yeah, I doubt Morey trades Morris without at least giving him a shot.

I still don't see how he puts them over the top. And they're then getting very... stuck with that roster.

If they decide they have no shot at Deron or Dwight next summer, then might as well waste the next 3 years with the 4th seed rather than the 9th.

 

[giri]

All of Morey's moves are made with Me in mind. So yes, that trade definitely should go through.

The worst part would be seeing The Dragon starting on the Lakers.

Turirble.

 

[Judderman]

if lin inspires a win tonight i will officialy resurrect, nay TRANSLATE myself back into a knicks fan.


i havent been a knicks fan since:

ward, grant (or something) spreewell, camby. god that game was sick when it came out

How nice of you to come back after 10+ years.

Korean pop is devouring my soul, giri.

Seriously, it only took Poo 8 months.

Let's go Heat

I still don't see how he puts them over the top. And they're then getting very... stuck with that roster.

Please clarify what you mean by "over the top".


Over the top usually means getting over that last hurdle to a championship. So I am confused as to why you would use those words when speaking of the Houston Rockettes. Simply does not compute.


Edit: Just saw that Kad mentioned Deron and Dwight. Now, if they somehow miraculously landed both of them guys... that would put them over the top.

Too bad they're coming to Los Angeles.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Grant or something?
Go away
We don't want you

Too bad.

He's yours, just like all the legions of Triple Ls we had to suffer through, 2 years ago.

LINTANGIBLES

Lollinger on Rubio just now was one of the worst things Ive ever seen.

Basically hes the 29th PG in PER, so he goes to say he believes he is exactly that, the 29th best PG in the NBA.

Somebody get me a sniper rifle.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Should be an entertaining game, would be better if it was at New York, I hate watching games at Miami.

Hate the court.

Don't shoot Rubio, he'll stop turning it over at some point.

Ricky Rubio

I'm impressed you managed to do that with out mentioning fisher.

 

[darkside31337]

Hey at least Rubio is still better than Nelson and Duhon.

For now.

 

[Canuck76]

Just saw the highlights of the Lakers, Mavs game. I think the Lakers fans need to relax. This team is fine and i think you can't rule them out for a great run in the playoffs.

They have enough length that they should put up enough fight against most teams, and last night showed that Kobe doesn't always need 25+ to win. I would be worried about OKC though. KD and YNB can consistently make almost any jump shot, who's going to defend them? And with Harden on the floor? Massacre.

I wouldn't trade Pau either. Keep this core together another year or two, they might surprise you guys.

Are you insane? Laker fans know that outside of Kobe, Pau and Bynum they've got some of the worst players in the entire league getting significant minutes.

Maybe they'll get swept in the first round instead of the second this time?

lol, took Fisher's best game of the year and probably Pau's too to win that game with Kobe struggling.

If the Lakers still had Lamar of last season, I'd agree. But a 3 man team won't cut it.

Disqualified. Smh. I know its stats but over Nash, D.Williams, parker, Rondo and dare i say brook? Meh

 

[h3ro]

Moral victories. Minor league coaches.

It's all about winning a chip.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Unfortunately, yes it was copied straight from his stat sheet. I don't know why he insists on proclaiming this made up stat as the ultimate decider of how good a player is or not.

 

[Emwitus]

Only teams that can sweep them in the west is OKC and obviously dallas lol.

 

[Canuck76]

Are you insane? Laker fans know that outside of Kobe, Pau and Bynum they've got some of the worst players in the entire league getting significant minutes.

As long as they help out a little bit. A little bit a couple steve blake 3's, a few matt barnes jumpers as long as no one is actively bringing the ship down with terrible turnovers or exceptionally terrible defense, which i think can happen they'll be fine. They just need to play to their strength of length and not do anything fancy.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

I am now waiting for Hollinger to make an article about why the Nets have the best PG tandem in the league and why Farmar needs to start for about half the teams in the league.

 

[DY_nasty]

Keep this core together another year or two, they might surprise you guys.

Win it all-mode (without lying to yourself) or tank.

Nothing is worse than purgatory.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

You know whats a really good idea guys? Using team assist ratios to ESTIMATE player stats, when those same player stats are readily available already. And to reject an objectively superior and more robust stat like APER just cause it was thought up by somebody else!

#hollingerlogic

Hey, Morey's got kids to feed.

I hate the Lakers but it's not tank mode yet. And btw did not know derek fischer had 15pts thought he made like, 2 open 3's or something

 

[Justin Timberlake]

I've said it before but Basketball-reference needs pace-adjusted stats already.

 

[snack]

Based God, please give Melo back his missing jumper.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Lin is the 3rd best PG in the league now?

Worst GAF indeed.

 

[Black Mamba]

they do have some pace adjusted stats. Reb%. TOV%. They have Team OEff and DEff.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

He's 3rd for PGs in Per category.

One of these days, I want to visit Worst Korea too.

Hmm. Makes sense when you consider the west coast (especially california) has a higher Asian contingent than the middle of the US.

Look at how great Boozer is with the fans.

Since most advanced statistics are offense-based I'm not all that surprised.

Come to Best India.


I'll bring extra Flagyll.

Imagine getting drinks with Noah. He'd probably leave you at the bar with the tab once you black out.
