Basically a banger who can board and has shooting/scoring ability on from the PF spot.

You know who that sounds like?

Carlos Boozer

Maybe he'll be the one to get through to Kwame?


That would be his second miracle in the past year. He might be made a saint.

As I said after the last game, if Kobe and Ronny can't get through to certain teammates I doubt anyone can.


Doesn't it take 3?

Waiting for him to teach Sasha athleticism.


The third will be getting this team into the second round of the playoffs.

It was a nice win. Although any win is a nice win.

I liked the ball movement. Kobe facilitated at will and scored at will.

It was nice to see the way they crashed the boards in the second half too.

Although I'm happy with the win, the way this team has been so consistently inconsistent makes the win feel like a false positive. I mean, this is how we should handle these sub-.500 teams and they could just as easily fall flat against P-land tonight.

NKPOG = Ronny. Gotta love his enthusiasm and desire. He showed some range, hitting 15-18 ftrs.

Nice of Ronny to be such a good teammate by throwing props out to Kwame. However, deep down, Ronny should be the one getting more minutes at Kwame's expense.

Take that theoretical player and whack about 5 inches from his legs.

That takes away about half his Hops and makes sure he is always injured and unable to play.

Then you have Carlos Boozer.

Recognizing that Carlos Boozer is a good player, is he a player that would help the Lakers get RINGS?!?!

In his best year (2004-2005), this 6'9" PF averaged 17.8 PPG/2.69 TO/9 RPG at Utah. (http://www.nba.com/playerfile/carlos_boozer/?nav=page) He has played in 81 games (2002-2003), 75 games (2003-2004) and 51 games (2004-2005). His salary commitment is based on a contract signed on 8/2/04 for 6 years for $70 million with a p-opt '09 (http://www.dfw.net/%7Epatricia/contracts)

How would he be able to defend the elite PF that are taller than 6'9" such as Tim Duncan, Rasheed, KG, etc. at his salary where LO is getting more rebounds for about the same salary?
