Not for one second were we really in this game. Yea, both teams had a lot of guys out, but we just didn't bring it. First "flush it down" game...
Weird game. I thought Lake Show looked off much off the time, but they still won. Refs called too many fouls. Champagnie misses the first with...
Nutty: you fly LA-to-POR for a BTB on the road, no AR/Luka/Lebron: still win. This was the Nick Smith Game: not that he won't do this again, but...
Lakers score 77 in first half, shoot a hair over 50% as a team for the game and beat the Heat 130-120 at the Crypt. Startin' to fall in love with...
We've all seen move-the-move-Luka and he's fantastic. it's just that when everyone knows he's going to keep the ball and shoot it's by definition...
Most +/- stats seem misleading. But I found this comparison interesting along the move-ball-to-win argument: Luka and AR both start and play 39...
Lakers go into MIN suiting up only 9 guys. Luka, Bron, Smart, and Gabe all out. Lakers fall behind by 12, maybe more. Even with Antman out, who...
Luka/Bron-less Lakers go into SAC and win 127-120. All of us knew our only reliable scorer was AR, and I was hoping he could get 30, maybe 35....
Phil Jackson compared basketball to playing in a jazz combo, which always made sense to me: every guy gets to solo, but you're all committed to...
We could very well lose the next 4 games with this bad news. AR becomes our #1 scorer?
Lakers at home win the 2nd half 60-47 to win 128-110 over Antman and the Wolves. The Slovenian was unstoppable. Did you seem him almost dunk?...
Don't look now, but Wilt averaged 50.4 in 1962, and now Aaron Gordon is right at 50.0 No, but seriously: Gordon is the Cal Raleigh of the NBA:...
Too lazy to look salaries up, but IIRC Billups makes $5mil this year. And it wasn't enough. Jeez, Chauncey! I'd say this looks very very bad for...
Gotta say: if you watched the preseason you wouldn't have been surprised by Game 1. I was surprised we only lost by 10. It's weird to think you...
A Pattern We Refuse To See Sorry about this: geek/nerd author says calf strains presage achilles ruptures, and he makes a pretty good case for...
Pacers put up a gutsy game after Tyrese's achilles snapped in the 1st Q, but the 3rd Q barrage and great D by OKC was too much. Pretty thrilling...
Genuinely shocked that IND came out so huge - up 30 at one point - and forced a Game 7, those two words so thrilling to just about all fans. OKC...
Game 5: yea, Hali's hurt, no FGs, but congrats to IND for putting up 109 in a loss against that defense. This series looks over with Tyrese's bum...
OKC did to IND what IND has been doing to other teams: not the dramatic comeback, but they clearly won the 4th, 31-17 after the Pacers won the 1st...
I expect Hartenstein gets more mins in Game 4. Interesting take on Chet's possible mindset, abeer. Sorta get the feeling sometimes that any one...
