Basketball (NBA, College, etc.)

O.K. the Lakers won, but if it takes 42 points from Kobe to beat the Knicks, that's not a good sign. :shakehead:

Screw Shaq.

The Lakers are better off without that punk.

I remember last year Shaq said he was glad to be in Miami working for " a real owner" I thought, after everything Jerry Buss did for him, he says that! :beatyou: What a total jackass!!!

i guess there was some major issues that weren't dealt with...:shakehead:
things are better as they are, after all the trades, even though the Lakers are a pathetic team now, ok....an average team since you have Kobe, everyone else .....not sure what to think about it.

I think the issue was that Shaq thought, "If it comes down to me or Kobe, they'll get rid of Kobe" but they traded Shaq instead. Major bruised ego there. :beaten:

and the Lakers got rid of their excess baggage, and chose to stick with KOBE. :bonk:

Shaq couldn't shed his weight or ego and Buss called him on it.

Yeah, he helped the Lakes win three championships, but he's still a punk.

I'll never consider him on of the great centers of all time... He's not in the same class as Kareem, Wilt, Russell, etc....

He just knows how to use his big fat body right????

If the man can shoot from outside the key and make 60%+ at the free throw line, then I'll believe he got some skills :sweat:

Yup.

Now if Japan had a tall sumo wrestler with some ball skills, he could body up Shaq and teach him a lesson. :hehe:

exactly, a pounding of the lakers tonight.

s/b a good game, for the clips. :victory:

65-52, Clippers lead the Lakers early in the 3rd.


Will Phil be able to suffer through the entire season before quitting, a la Rudy Tomjanovich? :sweat:

Clips beat Lakers, I'm disappointed, but not surprised(Bynum 5 rebounds in just 7 minutes :applaud: Kwame Brown 8 rebounds but 0 points :beaten: )

To say Kwame has been a disappointment is almost a compliment. :shakehead: :bleh:

The Detroit Pistons finally got their first loss in this season in the hands of Dallas Mavericks 119-82 :mwahaha: . Hope this will be a start of a new streak for them (losing streak :hehe: ). I just hate this team :beaten:
