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

lol

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

labrum james

hahahahaha!!!!!

*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

labrum infos http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2013/1/7/3847788/dwight-howard-injury-labrum-tear-return-date

and if they miss the playoffs the suns get their lottery pick

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.

i hope you guys are happy now

thread title jinks in full effect fuckers

man just looking over their roster, it looks like the Lakers will have to give Robert Sacre some starts

wait i didn't think the part about dwight & pau being injured was real, holy hell

haha I know, it was a little surreal seeing that headline!

"Gasol and Howard out indefinitely"

KENYON MARTIN SIGNS WITH THE LA LAKERS.

lmao

Is that the same ref who blocked the free throw?

Courtney Kirkland! I think it's the same guy!

haha omg i forgot about the turk ref touch

i was so big on turk like 3-4 years ago wtf

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

0-3 just confirmed now

turk beat the shit out of the broncav

#mamabatweets is the best.

I mean after he talks aloud is Kobe like "... mamba has spoken."

"... thus spake mamba."

I imagine Mamba is a separate personality, like Gollum and Smeagol. Mamba scowls and juts out his jaw while Kobe has a cheesy grin and is a wide-eyed NBA innocent.

as far as routine layups go, durant just had one of the most amazing ones i've ever seen

sort of hovered sideways for about ten feet and scooped it up and in off the glass with his left hand

Tommy Heinsohn just had some hilarious comments about the Rondo suspension. "Ludicrous ... [the NBA office] are all Knick fans!"

Snitches get put in ditches.

I'm sure he wasn't snitching, he was complaining that they didn't eject Rondo

the refs on the court don't do anything about it after the game, he would send the video to the league office if he was snitching

Danny Narco more like it.
