I've had enough for tonight, and made my points. A lot of you just don't know basketball, and wouldn't know a 2 for 1, with a 2 point lead, and wide open lane, if it punched you in the face. And apparently some of you missed the last 30 seconds after that play.
I watched the game downtown, and it was a downer, but there was no sense with anyone there that Lamar was the one to blame for the loss. We f'd up in a number of ways in the last minute, and Kobe was cold all night from the floor. That adds up to lower chances to win.
Whatever the case, the two worst plays were Smush's foul and giving Gasol the 3 point play. |

Gasol didn't convert the FT for the three point play but can you guess who fouled him? |

I remember, I liked Tierre, for the way he could penetrate... We could have probably utilized him better... Tonight, we sure saw Chucky Atkin's worth!!...We make moves, like "The Little Moron", who hits himself on the head, with a hammer, so that he can forget his stomach ache. _________________ "Teamwork is a nebulous thing.

Yup! Smush's defense has been awful. It's weird in the beginning of the season he was pretty decent. Now every point guard in the league looks like AI against the Lakers. |

Chucky 18 points/ Smush 20

Chucky shot 12 free throws. Thats Chucky we are talking about! Thats 5 more Fts than Kobe. Smush and Sasha are huge defensive liabilities. We just are not a talented team. Everybody said we are a 500 team and we are. |

When in doubt, claim that people disagreeing with you do not know basketball.
That way, you seem like you know something....
(Not realizing, of course, that even if you were the basketball expert that you claimed to be, who the hell are we kidding? It's just basketball. Not quantum physics. Not brain surgery. Not rocket science. It's basketball. Wow. You know basketball... what, you want a nobel prize for that? "a lot of you don't know basketball" What a joke! ) :roll: |

No, they don't know basketball. With a 2 point lead, and a chance for 2 for 1 and a wide open lane, you take it. That's good basketball. Gasol blocking the shot was better basketball.
You don't futz around like cheerleaders taking the shot clock down with a 2 point lead, when if you miss the shot, the opposing team will have 10 seconds to come down and either tie the game or beat you.
Smush fouling Chuckie, if you want to focus on a single play, is the right focus. |

Of course I mean the "3 point" opportunity...we really lost when Smush gave up the bad foul to Chuckie, and then Kobe bricked. |
