A season sweep of the two best teams in the East? Ladies and gentlemen, it seems we have our 2009 NBA Finals Champions.
A_3PO, What do you think about my suggestion earlier in this thread that the Lakers go after Raja Bell? Do you think that works given that after the Bynum injury everybody in the frontcourt has essentially slid down a spot? Bell could function sort of like Battier. I think it's a perfect fit for the triangle --- much better than Radman (past) or Walton (present). What do you think?
That might work. He could be a defensive specialist and take some SF/SG minutes. He would add much-needed intensity and grit.
Been saying this for awhile and people say i'm sack riding. The rox cant or dont have anyone big enough or quick enough to contain Odom. Thats why i like a Tim thomas type to combat that. People dont understand that Odom is really a 3 in a 3/4 body. He was a pg, before he hit a 6 inch growth spurt. Its going to be very,very tough to be la.
spurs beat the lakers and were winning the whole game played in sa and we were on pace with the lakers over there and they just hit some shots in the 3rd quarter magic got us in a back to back with the hornets and the second game the worst officiating of the year and the magic just hit some shots against the spurs GO SPURS GO Mason is clutch!
translation, Lakers played better and beat the Spurs. the Spurs, one of the best defensive team in the league, couldn't stop the Lakers charge---led by the mob bench---in Q3.
im talking about the spurs and lakers game played in san antonio we were winning pretty much the whole game and lakers amde a late charge and hit some lucky shots for josh powell when does that happen ut in LA we just got our asses kicked in the second half
Its not that difficult to stop odom, he has no jumpshot yep people play him so tight, its stupid, he's another one of those talented players who has put in the work reflected is his Ft shooting and overall aggressiveness.
Most of Odom's points today were putbacks and from dumpoff passes from Gasol, it's not like he was the focal point of the offense, just that no one on the cavs put a body on him when he was cutting to the basket or on rebounds. How the Cavs couldn't find him after the umpteenth point he scored is bewildering.
Yeah, that's what i'm saying. Not that I want the Lakers to get better but I have a gut feeling somebody good is going to snatch up Bell before the trade deadline. He's a great "win now" type of player that, hell, I wouldn't even mind having on the Rockets if Artest or Battier get dealt.
hahahha lakers hit some lucky shots? or are you talking abt the shot duncan made when he couldn't even see the basket in the end? or mason's lucky shot ? or the bs call on travel when ariza was fouled?
lol so you are saying as long as a player has the desire to win, then it's ok for him to kick ppl and play the as dirty as possible heh
