the lakers have just pooped their big-boy pants: 2012-2013 NBA regular season thread (part 2)

honestly though if i had to put money on it the lakers will make the playoffs, it's them, portland, and minny right? portland will def fade and minny will be without love for a month. and i still think the lakers will be really good....at some point

lakers dont make the playoffs and they have to be the most disappointing team ever

the thing that could really kick it up to the next level is if phil came back and they still missed the post season

and the jazz. honestly the jazz could take out the lakers esp if they make a move at the deadline. the jazz have tons of flexibility whereas the lakers have none AND have to hope that none of their players misses a stretch of games greater than 2

yeah injuries could derail all hope for the lakers so easy

can you imagine where the lakers would be if kobe were having even an AVERAGE kobe season?

haha he must be so mad

lakers next 3: @ houston, back to back @ SA then friday vs OKC

hahahahaha

bunch of zzzz games tonight

the lakers get swept in those games their playoff odds will plummet

i mean i don't think they will get swept, but they certainly could

Heat owner Micky Arison stirred up a little Twitter drama Sunday morning when he implied that some Heat fans have become spoiled with the team’s success. “When did being 1st in the East at the beginning of January become not good enough for some @MiamiHEAT fans?” Arison posted to his Twitter account, @MickyArison. Entering Sunday night’s game against the Wizards, the Heat had the best winning percentage in the Eastern Conference (.710) but was 2-3 in its past five games. Recently, the team’s nonchalant approach to rebounding has alarmed some fans. The Heat is second to last in the NBA in rebounding per game (38.71). Arison declined an interview before Sunday’s game but did say through a team spokesman that he wants fans “just to chill and enjoy the ride. We’re not going to win every game.”

lol dude get off twitter

he's the worst

In other breaking news: Lakers and Knicks have set to trade Dwight Howard for Amare Stoudemire. A third team is involved as well, something about the Shawn Marion for World Peace.

im confused abt how the celtics get cousins in this trade tho

Dying. LA YOU NEVER DESERVED TO HAVE A PAU.

Dwight has a torn labrum, out at least 1 week. Pau has a concussion. Hill has a hip injury.

I'm not into wishing pain on anyone, so I wish those guys well. otoh, seeing LAL flounder and lose, after sweeping all those all-stars into their clutches in the off-season, that's just delightful. Their missing the playoffs would be pure gravy.

out at least 1 week

just like nashs ankle

*antwan jamison shoots 4-12 from the field*

Cousins probably isn't going anywhere but the Cs waiving two spots on their roster suggests they're expecting something.

yes, i believe they were expecting contract guarantees to kick in

i read something that made a p good case that those guys were cut to save money

rondo's cancun adventure II

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA
The NBA has suspended Boston's Rajon Rondo one game for making contact with an official and failing to cooperate with league investigation.

oh for christs sake

haha wut league investigation

Atlanta's tv team were all "he should be ejected! He bumped the official!" on Saturday so I'm not surprised. Plus, he's bumped and thrown balls at the refs before so his history isn't a good one.

So, that kills one of the few interesting games tonight.

you should be allowed to punch refs i have no idea who guys dont just do that all the time

To be honest, after that offensive foul called against him I'm surprised Rondo didn't shoulder block the ref into the third row.

ha omg what a call, and you can hear the hawks announcer w/the that foul was offensive... rajon rondo to top it off

pretty sure it's lottery protected. Also if it's the most favorable of their options it would go to the cavs, not the suns.
