That's better than in NYC. There's no "free" NBA games over here.

There's no way in hell I'd dole out $100 a month for cable/dish... It's not a necessity like DSL or utilities.


Really?

For dish I'd expect that ... but cable TV is $50/mn and $90/mn for cable TV/Internet/Phone package in metro area. I think the SoCal cable providers are ripping their customers off.

I wouldn't be surprised.

For the longest time, I refused to get DSL until the prices came down to what I was willing to pay... And I feel the same about cable/dish/etc.

And don't forget to read the fine print. That $90 a month is only for the first year then they're gonna hit you with a price hike.[/list:u]OT: How the mighty have fallen!!! Two years ago they were a playoff team and now the Clips are tied for worst record in the NBA. Guess they want to keep they're "tradition" alive as well. :beaten: [/list:u]

Baron Davis must be beside himself. :sweat:

But there's some justice: Elton Brand is out for the season with a shoulder injury...

It's rumored that Baron already regrets coming to LA and hopes to find a way back to Oakland.

Clipper fans .... Ouch. :doh:

Speaking of the mighty falling .... Morrison was actually a great college player and the 3rd overall pick in the 06 draft.

All that promise and now ........ just another white stiff. :sweat:

not sure what good that might do, but shipping Rado wasn't a bad idea.

despite Rado's contributions and his 3's when he was a laker, there is not much i can say about his poor defense, and overall abilities, that's why the Lakers shipped him out. again not much i can say for Adam Morrison or Shannon Brown, there's a lot to be seen, and why the Lakers believe in these two.

and Clips are on a winning streak?? 2 games. :bonk:
it'll be more amazing if they beat the Celtics, but never gonna happen with this pathetic unit on the floor for the Clips. Baron come home to Oak-town, haha never gonna happen either.

If anything, it frees up salary cap money for the Lakers...

That's what I was thinking. Or, there might be another deal in the works.[/list:u]

From watching KCAL9, the speculation is that the freed up money is for a new contract for Lamar Odom... :sweat:

I have mixed feelings about the guy... He's very inconsistent.

After putting up 28 pts. and 17 rebounds to help the Lakers beat the Cavs 101-91, the Lakers might want to give Odom a new contract :victory:

Lakers are looking very good, having beat Boston and now ending the Cavs' home-winning streak without the services of Bynum.

LOL, Lamar must've read my post and put me in my place. :beaten:

I just hope he continues to refute me all the way to the championship. :thumbsup:

They definitely turned up the D in the second half on the Cavs after giving up 61 in the first... :victory:

Next up: The Jazz at Utah, tomorrow.

Looks like he's happy to be back in the starting rotation... Wonder how long it'll last...? :sweat:

Lakers forget about a little thing called "Defense" and lose to the Jazz in Utah, 113-109. :shakehead:
