NBA Notes 4/29/2008
Larry Brown is the new coach of the Charlotte Bobcats. I expect that team to be pretty good out of the east next year. They have talent and I think they have very few (if any) “me-first” type players. I think Larry Brown will have them playing the right way and winning a lot of games in the inferior Eastern Conference. I’m not a big George Karl fan, but he shouldn’t be...
Steve Kerr and the Suns
So… Steve Kerr pretty much HAS to be fired right? That Suns team is much worse than the team that started the season. That’s not what a GM is supposed to do. Shaq has ruined two franchises in one year. Impressive.
Sharky on Gilbert Arenas
I remember watching Gilbert during his last season in Golden State right before he became a free agent. I remember thinking to myself that the guy was the flu. He was a selfish, shoot first guard who clearly was playing for a contract with little regard for his teammates or the win and loss column.. I thought whoever signed him would be making a fatal mistake. After Washington signed him he...
“Nice work Lakers.”
– Lakers fans in general on the eve of the team clinching the best record in the incredibly tough Western Conference
Heading to Chavez Ravine Today
The last time I went I swore I would never return. Hoke (who is a Padres fan) was wrongfully ejected for “spitting.” An action which he was most definitely doing. It was probably an angry fan pissed that the Padres basically shelled the Dodgers for about 10 runs in the 1st inning basically ending the game before it started. It was quite an ordeal and one that...
Audible Retirement Fund Part 3: NCAA Final
Fuck you Memphis. Up 9 points with 2 minutes left and you can’t close the deal. The ‘99/’00 Blazers think you guys are choke artists. Now all I need is your run-of-the-mill 4-team Champions League parlay tomorrow to resuscitate me. Perhaps I should find another hobby…
Shaq is a total asshole. Why does the media give... →
Western Conference Rankings 4/7
The Real Deal: ?Contenders: Lakers Jazz SunsThe Enigmas: Spurs MavsPotentially Scary w/ the Right Matchup: Hornets WarriorsNot Scary to Anybody: Rockets Nuggets
Lakers Final Season Record? 56-26.
That assumes they go 3-2 in their final 5 games with wins against everyone but San Antonio and the Hornets. A safe bet. It’s pretty tough for any team to try to manipulate their schedule for a certain matchup since everything is so close that the seeding is gonna be impossible to predict. The one constant is that the #1 seed is a damn good place to be. Whoever gets that seed will play...
Lakers kind of suck right now
The state of the Lakers union is weak. They look for shit really and that’s the long and the short of it. The team looks unfocused at home and they play to whatever tempo their opponent decides to impose on the game. The team is on it’s heels in every facet of the game. Kobe seems too willing to fall into old habits of poor shot selection and being baited by an...
Catching up
I’ve been in Fiji surfing for the last ten days. Now that I’m home I’m going through my recorded Lakers games that I’ve missed. I’m just about to start the Lakers/Mavs game from last night. This is my excuse for the lack of posts in the last week or so. I have no idea what Carlos’ excuse is.
