Bulls had a good game. Same ole same ole from the Lakers. Rose was his usual great self.
Win or lose this game, the Lakers are tired and missing bigs right now, IMO. Still could have won this game, but not having any bigs past Lamar and Pau is stretching resources. No Bynum means Pau needs to be a center all times. No backups in Ratliff or Caracter, and Ron Artest has to play power forward. So the length and depth at big that got them through the playoffs is non-existent pushes players into positions that don't usually play or some weird lineups are out there as a result.
As I said previously, I don't forsee good this december for the Lakers or even this roadie. I still think they are the best team in the league when Bynum and backups are around, but right now, there are other teams that can claim that.

In other words, I'm a homer too, just not right now.

I had floor seats at the Pistons/Raptors game last night. Right behind the raptors team...like I could reach over and grab their gatorade, it was freaking amazing. One of the actors hooked it up and took me and couple others out to celebrate my last weekend on the show.
Awesome time.

The best seat I ever had was actually no seat....got to play against Kevin Johnson, Dan Marjerle, and Cedric Ceballos when they swung by ASU's rec center when I was in college.

Hey, I'm slowly starting to change my tune about Derrick. He's moved up a notch for me.
Beef, however, isn't impressed with Sirloin....

I am not saying we all should drive like a grandma... if he really wants to test out his car then take it to a track, and do whatever the fuck he wants... not in the street or freeway where they are ton of people.

Lakers agree to deal Vujacic to Nets for Joe Smith.
I was wondering when they would get rid of him

Good Laker trade since they were hurting in size. Smith and Bynum should def help.
Anyone heard about the Nets getting Carmelo. Apparently not true

^ No, the 3-way trade just helps Jersey acquire more assets to get *in Chinese voice* ANFONNEE!
No trade imminent. And ANFONNEE! wants to go to NY anyhow.

dang it, I don't want to like like lakers, but they are getting rid of the player i hated the most on the lakers. I don't mind luke, he's overpaid, but I think underrated, definitely not a bad player for like your 12th roster spot. I guess I hate shot jackers, and players who think they are superstars (ie. smush parker, brian cook, vujacic) which is pretty much the opposite of what luke provides. When you you have a payroll like the lakers do, what's another 5 mil? Although I guess you have to like double that salary to account for the tax they're paying on it.
