    I like Kelly but him guarding LeBron was mismatch of the decade.

    My WMC, we were in a no win situation with ESPN and TNT last night. TNT first, seem to hate us, love laughing at us and kicking us when we're down, I guess at some point Kobe torched Kenny Smith and the Lakers stood in Barkley's way, or they're like everyone else and grew up hating us.

    With ESPN, had we won, it would have been "wow the Cavs are so bad they even lost to the Lakers, this is rock bottom". And in a win its "oh they're fine now", which I saw said today, and "all it took was playing the pathetic Lakers and old Kobe to win". No win situation for us, the kicking while we're down is in full effect.

    Game WMC, Kelly on LeBron, yea stick a 2nd year role player on one of the best players of all time. That insult is probably what got him going because he could get to the hoop at will. Also played Kobe a full first quarter, which led to less of him later in the 4th.

    ^^ The thing I'm getting though is that Kobe DOESN'T want to come out in the first. That's when he seems most comfortable and in the flow. He said the thing that is bothering him is sitting and coming back in. Clearly at this point Kobe MUST be ok with those first quarter minutes otherwise he would ask to come out earlier. I believe that is completely by design coming from him. And it actually makes sense. I think there may be too much mileage to expect a whole lot out of him in the fourth from now on. He usually is good for one or two pretty spectacular shots in the fourth, but not tons more than that.

    7 assists as a team for the whole game. Yikes.

    This team without Nick was bad; without Kobe it's hideous.

    The tank strategy here is strong. Play Kobe against good teams and in national games that we're probably going to lose anyway. Sit Kobe against the other bad teams that we might beat with Kob on the floor.

    Working so far I think.

    You should read the anti Kobe hate letters every Saturday the L.A. rag Times picks to post in the sports section. On fire with Kobe hate today.

    That's a good thing, though. Without Nick, we may have a chance to nab that number 3 seed in the tank rankings from Philly...:)

    Our Tank Commander in Chief Byron, you have been a great commander so far, but if there is one thing you must do to complete this mission so we can keep our pick; you must bench Nick Young. That will ensure us at least the top 4 seed, Tank Commander.

    Nothing to complain about so far. The Lakers have been entertaining in more games I though possible, but seem to be losing enough to hopefully keep that pick. I'm just worried that they go on a 3 game winning streak. I hate talking tank, but we need talented bodies.

    Wow, WTF. Filming or not he looks like he really clocks her head with the ball from short range and even if staged she drops backward from around 3 feet in the air onto the hard floor.

    Probably not a real ball and she fell on her butt. It's the movies, it's no big deal.
