Hopefully Lakers will end their losing streak tonight.

Because they won one game?:huh:

Very complete game from the Lakers tonight though its still troubling to me that Bynum can't seem to handle double teams, but I digress.

I also hope people realize the same shots Pau made tonight are the same perimeter shots he's been missing all year. He didn't "get the ball more" like some keep crying for, he was just ready to make decisive moves when he got the ball. Novel idea...

I'm impressed by the dominance Lakers shown tonight against the defending champs Mavs, but this illustrates that Lakers still have the problem focusing on games against inferior opponents, such as Rockets last night and Pistons awhile ago. Pau also played much better tonight against Dirk than he did vs Houston. At least they didn't surrendered another big lead in the final minutes. I'm happy for the win, but I also hope they will get better and not sleepwalk through some games.

Oh, and when will Mike Brown finally make Sessions the starter? Steve Blake played like the man who is ready to give up his starting job any second.

Knowing Brown he probably won't lol. It's not like Ramon hasn't shown a grasp of the plays already, and clearly, when he's on the floor with the starters its a different team, a much better one.

If he was airborne, he was trying to end his career, if they were sprinting toward the basket, just an unnecessary hard foul sending a bit of a message in an emotional game, clearly. I hate fouls like those, but even so, the player on the receiving end always tends to make it look a little better to warrant an ejection. Not even a Kia Optima could put Blake Griffin down and send him "flying". See what I did there?

Just saw the video of it on Sportscenter. I'm pretty sure he'll see a suspension from that.

I thought I posted this comment but it was another board lol yes definitely. Who do you think would be a good replacement? I like van gundy, Sloan, or McMillan

I'm surprised that Clippers keep losing, even to weak teams like Hornets. Aside from the absence of Billups, this team is no different than the one from earlier in the season when they were winning alot of games so I'm not sure what is the reason for their recent struggles.

Read Del Negro could be on the hot seat.

Yea me either. I thought with the injury the team would slide down to a .600 team

Yeah, I saw it last night and you could tell Blake barely felt that and took a pretty impressive swan dive.

Agreed Darth. I don't think he was faking but I think it looked worse than it actually was. If he jumped, that would have been another story. But I have to agree with Skip Bayless when i say that Blake is soft. I also found his teammates kind of weak for not trying to take Smith's head off. I thought that was why Martin and Evans were brought there, to be the goons of the team.

I think VDN will be fired soon, because CP3 is contracted for one more year and if they don't make the playoff, it'd be hard to convince him to stay. Also when he was hired, they didn't have CP3 so the expectations are obviously much different now.

Re: 2011/2012 NBA Thread : A Season Reborn - Part 2
 
I just don't think the Clippers are that good. There front court players can't really create their own shot. Blake is getting better but Jordan can dunk and that's about it. Caron Butler is good and so is Paul..............................Young is kind of a me first player that I'm just not sure about as well. I think this is them coming back down to Earth more than anything else.

Even though the Jason Smith hit was illegal and wrong to do, missed stuff like that from the NBA. Back in the 80s and 90s stuff like that would be legal, oh why did they have to change the rules.

Docker2.0 03-23-2012 11:58 AM

Re: 2011/2012 NBA Thread : A Season Reborn - Part 2
 
Yeah in the 80's they did play with more passion and that led to more fights and oddly enough, you rarely saw any serious injuries when it came to the hard fouls. Now all you have are these selfish players who play with no passion, travel every 5 or 6 plays, and are basically robots who can't look at the refs wrong without getting t'ed up. No wonder the NBA's ratings have declined since the 90's.

Re: 2011/2012 NBA Thread : A Season Reborn - Part 2
 
^ Yeah maybe if Stern would just allow them to play real basketball the games would be even more entertaining. But anyways important game tonight for the 76ers, if we lose we out of first place in the atlantic division.

Daniel Thompson 03-24-2012 12:20 PM

Re: 2011/2012 NBA Thread : A Season Reborn - Part 2
 
Nice win by the 76ers last night to show we still desrve to be atop of the atlantic division. We can beat Boston's big 3 but sadly not Miami's.
