Basketball (NBA, College, etc.)

The Lakers may be a completely different team, but they still have the Clippers number: 89-87.

Kobe 13-32. :bleh: :bleh:

Only ONE other player on the team took more than 10 shots (Odom, 7-11)... :bleh: :bleh:

Not good.

Kobe and Odom! these guys are really good player!! :say_cool: specially KOBE.. :hehe:

Kobe yes but Odom :sweat:

To me he's always going to be that underachiever who never lived up to his name coming out of college.

Odom seems to be one of those followers, not leaders... :( He has moments of brilliance, and other times..... :sweat:

Maybe he needs a woman for inspiration. :hehe:

HAHAHAHAHHAA yea. I still think he has the potential to be a great player but he just doesn't seem to want it. Coming out of college he was touted as like the next MJ, especially with his game winning 3 that I think put Rhode Island into the elite 8.

Well anytime when someone is touted as the next MJ you have to take it with a grain of salt. I think too many people these days are being compared to Jordan.

i don't follow the nba very closely, but i hear that the big game to watch for is the upcoming heat vs lakers (shaq vs kobe)?

The Big Doofus has got a lot of motivation, that's for sure.

The Warriors beat Dallas.

In Dallas?

What's next? Are the Niners gonna finish the season by thrashing New England?

Hard to believe it happened:
http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2004/12/15/SPGGQAC6RQ1.DTL

But I've more hope for the Warriors than the 49'ers because:

1. Gary St. Jean is no longer GM
2. Mike Montgomery, though a rookie NBA coach, would have been on my short list of college basketball coaches that I would have taken a gamble on and hired
3. Chris Cohen is willing to spend money on the team


Go Warriors!

Well when you haven;t beaten Dallas in Dallas since 1999, then by universal balance it's bound to happen soon :hehe: :hehe:

Although things might be looking a little better for the W's there are still 2 things that are a major problem and one is that St. Jean might not be the GM anymore but he's still in the organization. Seriously, how much leeway does this guy get? And as long as Cohen is the owner... well, since he took over he hasn't made the playoffs yet. :sweat:

I'm just hoping that universal balance kicks in soon! :hehe:

Go figure: Lakers play miserably against the Sonics and get routed, then go to Sac-town and trounce the Kings...

This season's gonna be a five-star thrill ride... :bleh:

Hi People!! :hehe: Do you know this player A First JAPANESE NBA player... i think his on PHOENIX.. team... anybody know this? :hehe:

If you've been under a rock for the last couple of months, the season's marquee matchup is on Christmas Day: Lakers vs. Heat at the Staples Center... Kobe vs. Shaq.

Expect some fireworks. :hehe: :hehe: :hehe:

Lakers stink up the Staples Center again, losing 82-72 to Memphis... The Lakers scored only nine (!) points in the fourth quarter (the Grizz only scored 13) and are booed throughout the quarter.

Kobe shoots a dismal 2-16 for a season-low 11 points. :bleh:

The Heat have won their 10th straight game, beating the Kings, 109-107... Next stop: the Staples Center and the Lakers on Xmas day.....

Not quite the NBA, but this would be the best place aside from starting a new thread:

UH defeats USC in men's college basketball, 72-68... :woot: :dancing:
