Ah, the joys of watching Darryl "Prince of Nerds" Morey and his analytics machine crash & burn! The sweet savor of Dwight Howard's tears as the Rox exit in the 1st round for the 2nd time in 3 seasons! The delicious drollery of a locker room going nuclear whilst everyone involved pretends that all is well!

Morey has done a decent job. What did procuring Harden cost him? Next to nothing, other than two mediocre first round picks. In terms of value, contrast that with the first rounders we surrendered for Dwight and Nash. What did procuring Howard cost him? Nothing; the opportunity cost of the cap space wouldn't have improved the Rockets as much.
I get the hate as Howard signed with them, but Morey gave them a slim chance at being a contender for a few years, and that's better than what could have been expected given his roster prior to those moves. |

2 - The Accursed Los Angeles Clippers
Tiny Archibald's achilles. Bill Walton's feet. Brian Taylor's achilles. Michael Brook's knee. Norm Nixon's knee. Marques Johnson's neck. Derek Smith's knee. Danny Manning's knee. Ron Harper's knee. Loy Vaught's back. Elton Brand's achilles. Shaun Livingston's knee. Blake Griffin's kneecap. Chauncy Billups' achilles. A bad enough legacy in and of itself. Now add - after Steph Curry goes down and the doorway opens for the Clips . . . BOOM! . . . CP3 and Griffin go down in the same game and the door slams shut! Die, Clippers. Again.
3 - The Queens and George Karl
Like an In-N-Out Double-Double with cheese, you get extra value at a small price! The Queens hold Boogie Cousins hostage rather than dealing him to the Lakers and pay the price. They still stink and their lockerroom goes Chernobyl. You should've moved to Vegas, rubes. Even better, the smug, arrogant Laker-baiting know it all named George Karl proves that his sell-by date passed about 10 years ago. Enjoy unemployment, George.
4 - LeBron's Bald Spot*
Tick . . . tick . . . tick . . . 31 years old and 2 NBA Titles. Kobe had FIVE at age 31. You've still got time, Bronnie, but if Steph's ankle's hold up, you aren't getting one this year, either. Tick . . . tick . . . tick . . .
5 - Lurch
Heh heh heh. You clothes-lined Rambis. You let Googs walk for nothing rather than sign-and-trade him to LA for Eddie/Elden/#1. You gift-wrapped KG to Ainge instead of trading him for Bynum. You wooed D12 away from the P&G. But your post-playing career legacy? Awful GM and lousy coach. Kick rocks, loser!
My P&G will be back on top, soon, but until then, I have plenty to keep me going.

Bingo. It was the smugness - "Look at us, Lakers, this is how a real team does it! We're smarter than you!" - that ticked me off. Well, they lasted 14 days longer than the Lakers and haven't won a title in over 20 years. Way to go, geniuses! _________________ On Lakersground, a concern troll is someone who is a fan of another team, but pretends to be a Lakers fan with "concerns". |

Lebronze best shot he might have for the rest of his career... Especially if GSW add a major name next off-season. Yet again he benefits from a watered down east. I hope whoever comes out of the west is healthy enough and able to beat them. I don't love the OKC matchup vs them though. I think the Cavs win that going away. _________________ How can I get a copy of a Laker game played on Sunday, March 11, 2001 Sonics/Lakers? If you know PM me please

Not to worry. GSW is solidly favored against OKC, and I'm confident GSW would beat Lebron in the finals, especially since they'd have home court advantage.
Outside of the Lakers winning the world championship, there is nothing else in sports more satisfying than Lebron losing in the championship series and looking crestfallen. _________________ Lakers 49ers Chargers Dodgers |

I wouldn't speak so quickly. GS had problems with a vastly-inferior Portland, and look to have their hands full with an improved OKC team with a full head of steam & momentum. And, remember--Cleveland, WITHOUT Kyrie & Love, STILL took GS to 6 games last year. And GS looks tired, still a little beat up. Anything can happen.... |
