The Lakers could have saved us some time by just handing us a bye tho
still better than Kobe ever was

Look at this basic ass bitch.
Dumb question. It's not even the most entertaining Lakers sweep in the last three years.

31 point blowout to a half-empty staples inspite of 44 points from godmorris, 20/10 from dwight and a triple double from pau puts it over the top
Watching Kobe personally cost his team games in a sweep and Bynum going out so salty?
Yes please.
Game 4 in 2011 has to be the most entertaining blow-out in the final game of a sweep ever. Peja's Revenge, the Lakers meltdown and Bynum trying to murder Barea, Brian Cardinal getting the record-tying three in the last minute, Phil Jackson taking his last question from Scoops Callahan... that game had it all.
Almost forgot about this. Best .gif has to go this sweep and Duncan's umad face though.

Rose needs to be raked over the coals for protecting his "brand". They would have already beaten the Nets if he came back when he was able too.
Everyone expected that sweep though. What makes the 2011 sweep so great is this:
not like you can really blame them for picking the back-to-back champs to win...

Even if Rose comes back in early April playing 10-15 minutes a night off the bench they'd have won this series already. It was obvious they were making the playoffs. They could have easily treated the last month of the season like the preseason getting him in some games to overcome whatever mental issues he's having. It's ridiculous the amount of fight in the rest of the team and then you have him just sitting idle on the bench.
He's a terrible choice to pair with Dirk, he'll just freeze him out in the 4th like he does with Curry.

I totally agree. The guy has no fight and is worried how is PR machine might be affected by him coming back and potentially failing.

I like how everyone knows what is going on with Rose. What is in his head.

Love this GS crowd. You'd expect them to be up by 10 with how loud they are.
There really aren't any good free agent PGs besides CP3.

I remember that on that year, Sprite ran an advertisement in a LOT of Puerto Rico billboards that read: "Barea's ribs may be hurting, but so is Kobe's ego"
I know Calderon isn't some sort of dominating force, but I think he could be a pretty great point a bunch of contending teams.
Don't know what you're talking about, his face is really easy to read.
LOL as if Thibodeau gonna do this.
Like I said, Luol Deng play 40mpg despite his wrist fucked for 2 year now.
I have torn my ACL & MCL and it's gonna be in the back of your head no matter what., now if he's had a setback that's an entirely different story.

Touché.
Rose isn't worried about his PR machine. He's just genuinely scared. Basketball is easy to him, but he's never had to deal with something like this. This is the same guy who doesn't like to give blood, because he's afraid of needles. This is the same guy that once asked John Lucas III to sleep in his room because he was afraid that the hotel the team was staying at might be haunted.
Jack is good.
He'd be a better option than Jack to pair with Dirk I think. Probably would come a bit cheaper as well.

what? no way
It's true. They were in Memphis to play the Grizzlies, I believe. Apparently, it's a hotel that is renowned for being haunted.

The Mavs should get Calderon because he is a pass first point guard. The catch is that they'd have to find players in the SG, SF, and C positions that can play good to great defense to make up for Dirk and Calderon's lack of defense. I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up with Jack, Tyreke Evans, Iggy, Dirk, and Dalembert as their starting five knowing Cuban.
