Hey, I remember the days of Bob McAdoo and Ernie D!! Those were some good teams!! :woot:

And Randy Smith who had the consectitive games played record for quite a while...thinking that if Ernie D did not blow his knee out :shamefulcry: they still may have still been in this region or at least in Toronto, before my time but I've heard from many how popular he was. :mrgreen:

The thing with Ernie D was that the "D" didn't stand for Defense. :beaten:

Did you see the poll they were running during the game? "Who is the greatest player to come from the Philadelphia area?"

The choices were: A) Kobe Bryant, B) Wilt Chamberlain, or C) Earl Monroe.

Final results: Kobe - 83% Wilt - 15% Pearl - 2%

What color is the sky in the planet these people live on ?!!?

Kobe's a great player, but the people responding to this poll know as much about NBA history as a sumo wrestler does about weight watchers!!

Most of these people have no sense of NBA history (or history, period), so it's not that surprising... :crazy:

Just like some people here who want drama recommendations, but only for those made in the past 5-7 years... :shakehead:

Lakers-Celtics tomorrow.

Lakers defeat the Celtics, 90-89. :victory:

You took the words right out of my mouth. :rolleyes:

Some people consider "history" only covers the period that they've been alive... Numb nuts. :shakehead:

Lakers-Memphis tonight... I'm sorta expecting a letdown after they beat the Celtics yesterday... :sweat:

^ Lakers don't disappoint: they lose to the Grizzlies, 95-93. :shakehead:

yeah, at this point you have to ask why the Celts even show up for the 4th quarter. :shakehead:

When the Lakers led 4-0, I really thought they might get a shutout. :D

They didn't show up: they blew an 11-point lead.

They've really crapped out in the 4th quarter of the last like 10 games. They might as well head to the locker room after the third quarter.

Lakers eke out a win against the Bobcats, 99-97. :sweat:

Kobe scores only FIVE points... And apparently injured in foot in the process.

C's beat Heat 107-102

And Phil Jackson becomes winningest Lakers coach of all time:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s11CResu72s&feature=fvhl

:applaud:

Lakers break their five-year losing streak in Portland, 99-82... Without Kobe and Andrew Bynum. :shocked:

How did they do it?

They played as a TEAM. :doh:
