Don't hate.


You don't see me hating on your LeHeat, do you? I worship them.

I don't think Howard is thinking straight in order for the Clippers to get him the would have to give up most of the good players they have and it wouldn't be much of a team after that.

Lamar got a standing ovation from the crowd at Staples as soon as he got into the game that was good to see. I hated to see him go and I think it was kind of irrational that he requested a trade after being part of the CP3 fiasco. I bet he regrets that now.

2 things regarding the Howard to the Clips and Lamar returning to Staples:

1. In order to get Howard, they'd have to move Blake and/or CP3. I'm sure DeAndre Jordan could be in the mix as well, the Clips aren't getting away without giving up either CP3 or Blake in any possible trade. Which, as Neil Olshey has said, is a non-starter.

2. Lamar did great things while here, and I think in his heart of hearts, he will always be a Laker. But the way he left wasn't professional. Especially when Pau, in direct contrast, handled it much better than that...and continues to.

Hey Heat guys, any thoughts on Heat-Lakers this Thursday?

IMO, I think the Lakers will get ran if they continue their high-turnover rate. Given that I think the Heat have the fastest help and recover defense in the NBA and that they have probably the best transition game, the Lakers will get ran.

You mix the Laker turnovers with the Heats defense, speed, and propensity to run, and you get roadkill in Miami.

However....

If the Lakers can control tempo and get the post game going, it'll be a close game, close enough for the Lakers to try and steal. I don't see that happening, but I hope the Lakers surprise me.

It should be a good game I hope Lakers win, but you are right about the high turnovers.


What about Lebron last night even though I don't like him, he did a good job coming back last night, even though he was being a ball hog, but hey if being a ball hog is the only way to get your team back in it, more power.

Doom878

If he dishes he's shying away. If he takes over the game he's a hog. Damned if you do....

CarbonGray Earl

^^Jerry West, Jordan, Kobe, and now Lebron faces this dilemma.

Interestingly, I remember reading an article on Jerry West, aka 'Mr. Clutch', when he was asked why he didn't pass it to Pat Riley, who was wide open to shoot a game-winner.

Jerry West replied 'There's a reason why he was open'. The games biggest and greatest players will always be questioned, there's no doubt about that.

I think it will be a good game. Kobe is on a tear.

It will be interesting to say the least but the Lakers definitely have to figure out their point guard situation hopefully benching Morris he needs to go to the D-League.
A slow Luke Walton would be a better option than Morris.

Yes! Clippers beat Mavs without Chris Paul!! Buzzer beater!

CarbonGray Earl

....talk about having the complete opposite of the Laker problem....an abundance of point guards. In fact, all-star caliber point guards on the Clippers.

In my excitement for the Heat-Lakers matchup, I failed to remember the Lakers-Magic game on Friday. It'll be interesting to see Howard vs. Bynum, on a number of levels.

Hmmm nice Kings game last night, some horrible ass calls.

Deja Vu For the Mavs beaten twice by the Lakers and Clippers in 3 days in much the same way in the same building from shots a couple of feet apart within the last 5 seconds of the game.

Doom878

Looks like no Wade nor LBJ tonight. TNT groans.

Yumcha

But, LeMiniMe is good enough. He should be able to score 897 points alone since he no longer is the raptor-in-the-middle with LeWade and LeBron out.


LeHeat will still win and crush the opponent. Easily.

CarbonGray Earl

^^ you are relentless Yum....

Without those guys, obviously my opinion changes a bit. But I still wouldn't sleep on the Heat sans Wade and Lebron.

fixed.

so Dwrek Rose, is still out, i guess the baby bulls are going to rely with papercut injury Boozer to score like mike with 63 points against the cavs tomorrow?

Yumcha

^ Look...the Bulls win with ONE defective and extremely sucky/flawed superstar in Rose.

The LeHeat. They have THREE. And not just any three. The BIG THREE. BIG. So, LeMiniMe is a BIG. So, LeHeat will easily win tonight. I stand by that.

Yumcha

All Bulls wins without Rose are indications of how much better they are without the worst MVP the League has ever seen.

Wins WITH Rose are all purely luck.

Your telling me a win almost losing to the wizards makes your team better come'on. The bulls isn't the same team as last year. Intensity isnt there Noah isn't playing to his normal style. If u pull up the our record is better bs. U guys had a easier schedule as of right now

Yumcha

^ Sure. With most of the Bulls games on the road...

Doom878

Easy victory. Wow Kobe was off. Welcome back Eddy Curry.

Lakers suck.

CarbonGray Earl

Told ya so....Lakers, IMO, are still working through way too many issues to beat the elites of the NBA right now.

Tough to watch....seriously, there is no flow like there used to be with the Triangle.

Yumcha

See. Told you folks the LeHeat would crush the LA Ponders.




The only failure here is LeBron did not score over 100 points. :shakehead

Yeah your right they have lots of issues right now hopefully as the season goes along they can solve some of them but its unlikely that all will be solved this season but you never know.

mystikk

"Just like back in Cleveland, Mike Brown is letting LeBron do whatever he wants out there."

CarbonGray Earl

Hate to live in the past, but CP3 would have solved the offenses problems. Now were relying on the old man Fisher and a no name rookie.

Ya, I'm hoping it changes, but that may not happen until summer.

I didn't like that trade on the whole, CP3 would have solved some problems but trading Gasol would have opened up more so to me it would have been a wash.

World Peace's game has fallen off this guy doesn't even look like he belongs in the NBA anymore.

Yumcha

Of course they will lose. No idea how they win games without a Godly line-up like the LeHeat...

Miami and Philly tonite. with the sixers doing well its going to be a good game.

Yumcha

6ers will get crushed by 2000 points.
