    Why are we cutting to commercials during the run of play?

    you could also argue he was a top 3 NBA player in 2010. not the season, the year. best player in the playoffs 2010, and then the best Lakers player during a great first few months of the season. he was getting early MVP noise.
    Then he started to seem exhausted, Kobe started to score 40 a game, and that was that.

    I think at his age, he's just not capable to maintain his best at center for 82 game season. And at PF, he often gets misused by the Lakers.

    C'mon Dwill. Gotta finish that.

    My crunch-time lineup:

    Dwill
    Kobe/Melo
    Durant
    James

    Chris Paul has no room to complain about others flopping.

    Basketball players ****ing fall down too much. I know Gasol just got slapped in the face, but if I went into a bar and slapped a just-shy-of-7 footer in the face I don't think he would fall down. What a sissy sport this has become...

    Durant and Melo live the life on this team. Touch the ball, open, let it go.
