Basketball (NBA, College, etc.)

[image] How much longer do we have to put up with Kwame Brown?!!? :beaten:

Which player do you guys really want to trade from the Lakers? Is it Odom or Brown? :confused: ........ Or both? :beaten:

By the way, the Nets spoiled Steve Francis' debut by beating the Knicks in a close game 94-90 :victory: . I just noticed that last night's game was a rivalry night for NBA. A game between 2 LA teams and a battle between cross-river rivals were featured :D .

I think they should gamble and let them go, and see if they can get some good players that will fit in the system better...i think they should look for talent and good players that will fit better in Phil Jackson's system. Odom may fit better elsewhere, he's been far too inconsistant in this system. Not much i can say about Brown, he may develop more and improve, but can the Lakers gamble on that and wait, i'd say they make a move and thrown in Mihm and Smush too, and restructure around Kobe, keep Cook on the team though and the others.

Odom is too inconsistent and Kwame IS consistent. (consistently bad :beatyou: )

You are not trying to wipe out the whole team, are you? :beaten: :hehe:

They have been, that's why they're the way they are.

If guys like Kobe were really interested in winning games and championships, why to they take a pay cut and free up some money to get some more quality players?

Guess that makes too much sense, and the players egos won't allow it.

When The Big Tub O' Goo was still with the Lakes, he had the nerve to ask for a contract extension even though his numbers were going down as his weight went up.

Ridiculous. :shakehead:

yea, still trying to find themselves, although not as bad as the Knicks...that team is lost, still.

Shaq's freethrows are still rock bottom, and worse this year?
Lakers just need some sort of change, and the rotating doors flips...as Kobe waits, and continues to carry the scoring load.... :beaten:

Warriors lose....again. I'll report again when news changes, whenever that happens.

a downward spiral, they are heading....

atleast the clips won one..., but hopefully they make the playoffs. :bonk:

Lakes now lose to the lowly Celtics.

At home.

I wouldn't plan to buy Laker playoff tickets right now. :bleh:

if they make the playoffs.... :doh:

doubt the Warriors will make it, at this rate...a downward spiral...

but there is a possibility for the Clips, if they can start winning more consistantly.

Giving up already? If they will make it to the playoffs, they be up against the Mavericks. They have a chance to win.......if Kobe will score big time like what he did before against Dallas.......and could keep up that performance throughout the series :beaten: :bonk: .

Just wait till Corey Maguette is back. This guy can bring consistency to this team.

New Jersey Nets lost to the Indiana Pacers 91-101 :( . And the worst part is Carter left the game with a hamstring cramp in the first quarter and never returned :shakehead: .

yea, i heard about their loss, they really need to get Carter back.

No, but I'm very disappointed and discouraged. :puppydog:

Well, Carter did play in last night's game against the Hawks with a sore right hamstring and even scored 22 points. But that didn't help the Nets from suffering a shameful loss to the lowly Hawks 102-104 :shakehead: .

I know how you feel. There are ups and downs in the world of sports. And the Lakers doesn't look like they are going up :sweat: .

No changes in Oakland....stay tuned. :puppydog:

i think we are all going to wait a long long time, until they turn it around, i'd say some major changes ahead....
for now, it's still the losing streak, hopefully they can start winning again, they are lacking in so many areas right now...it is pitiful. :shakehead:

i'm glad we (d.c.) got rid of him. he is SO not worth a #1 overall pick.

Minor change: Warriors win against the Magic. Nothing really special for now.
