Im cool with CWebb calling games, but yeah Shaq was a failure before he even startedThey need to get him out of the studio. He not only adds nothing interesting, he actually detracts from the usual entertainment value of Chuck, Kenny and Ernie.
Get Chris Webber back in the studio.
You're right. Gotta keep trolling and stay vigilant.Be patient and let the game come to you. Be the anti-Westbrook.
Wouldn't it be awesome if LAL had a 3 point shooter? Let's take a peek at playoff 3% numbers.
Kobe is #50 16 of 45
Metta is #37 6 of 15, not bad but he has only played 2 games.
Steve Blake # 32 14 of 31, unexpectedly awesome and in no way susustainable
Pau Gasol is 2 of 4, arguablly our best option behind the arc....
Murphy, Glock and Morris have all taken a single 3 and all 3 went in.
Now, obviously Lakers won't take minutes from Hill/Pau to give Murph meaningful minutes.
But why exactly aren't the rooks getting burn? Mike Brown I'm gonna...
Because they can't guard anyone. Or run an offense. And it's very easy to shut out a 3 point specialist who does very little in the playoffs. See: Novak.
How do you answer critics who have discussed you flopping and drawing fouls?:
Just keep grinding through it. It's never really something that I've had a problem with, but all of the sudden now it's kind of come up. So I'm just going to keep playing the way I've been taught and playing the game and it'll all go away I think. It's just kind of a phase or a bandwagon that some people want to jump on.
The commissioner said flopping is a concern. Is it a concern for you, not just individually, but around the league?:
No, it's not really a concern. I guess it depends on the individual but it's not really a concern for me. Especially in the playoffs, guys are doing everything they can to get an extra possession or to get a stop, whatever it is. I'm not sure what David Stern feels, but it's not a concern to me, really.
Is there a fine line to gamesmanship?:
Oh yeah, there's a fine line between completely overselling it and knowing how to draw a foul or this or that. I haven't seen a lot of plays where guys have completely gone over the line. I honestly can't think of that many times.
Who exactly can Blake guard? Glock also has decent handles, much better than Novak's plus he is quick and has a nice running floater. At least put him in when Fish goes in, it would optimize Glock's strong suits and minmize his weakness: Defense.
Glock's handles are not good. He only can dribble in space. I like the kid, but we've overrated him way too quickly. When he played PG, he was terrible at it. He can be used as a backup 2 but not against this OKC team. They're too tall.
Dude hasn't played in 2 months of real ball. Get over it. They ain't throwing him into the fire. Just look what happened to Ebanks. He wilted after 1 game last series.
I'm not overrating him at all. I'm saying he could be used effectively at PG against D Fish. Thats some low level praise, thats what, 15 minutes tops?
New York shut down Novak way before Miami could give a fuck.Because they can't guard anyone. Or run an offense. And it's very easy to shut out a 3 point specialist who does very little in the playoffs. See: Novak.
More than Blake? He proved himself last series. Before Fisher was traded, everyone wanted Blake to start and Glock to come off the bench. Now we want Glock replacing Blake?
Yes, Blake sucks on defense. He's still better than Glock. Better ability to run an offense, too. And proven to be able to hit 3s in the playoffs.
No, I would not bench Blake for Glock. He's a terrible PG.

Not replace him, just take 10 or so minutes off his plate.
When I watched, the defender pretty much never helped off him. By design. It's so easy to shut these guys out in the playoffs. It pretty much never works.
Who was the last spot up 3 point shooter wing with no handles or defense to make a large impact?

Steve Kerr? Jason Richardson on the Suns?
Yeah, Kerr was pretty much the only one that came to mind. But he had handles, no? And I honestly can't remember his defense.
Not really. He was pure spot-up.
You're forgetting Horry.
NY never moved the ball for any reason other than melo.
No one had to do anything.
J-rich is not a pure spot up shooter. Come on, now.
Yeah, Kerr was pretty much the only one that came to mind. But he had handles, no? And I honestly can't remember his defense.
Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose will be out at least 8-12 months after undergoing surgery to repair his left ACL, said Dr. Brian Cole, who performed the surgery on Saturday.
http://espn.go.com/chicago/nba/stor...go-bulls-derrick-rose-8-12-months-acl-surgery"We're at this point very optimistic. ... We think of recovery as the long process that's in stages. But the short answer is the time frame we believe an athlete of this caliber generally requires is about 8-12 months. Sometimes shorter, sometimes longer."
So all of next season, huh.
Damn. I wonder if he'll ever be the same.
lol Shaq:

Here starts the Tank in 2012-2013 for Cody campaign.
Deng should really have his wrist surgery now, I know he wants to get Britain to a medal, but I think he should support the Bulls more.
Here starts the Tank in 2012-2013 for Shabazz campaign.
Lakers-age you are now fully enveloped within the COTY Mike Brown Twilight Zone. Are you expecting him to make an adjustment going into Game 2?
Bwahahahahas I'm so sorry.
I just wanted you all to know that veteran Cavs-age is here to support you through these hard times.

@LakersReporter: Kobe was asked about Westbrook's wardrobe last night: "I didn't see it ... I know he wears a lot of weird s#*% though."
