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

Paul Flannery ‏@Pflanns
One game suspension for Melo.

lol at them threatening to "fight" each other in front of like 60 people

IMA GET YOU, IF ONLY MY LAWYER AND 6 BODYGUARDS AND THE OWNERS NIECES AND NEPHEWS WERENT IN THE WAY

MY ESTRANGED WIFE DOES NOT TAStE LIKE CEREAL TAKE IT BACK OR DOES SHE I DONT EVEN REMEMBER HER FACE ANYMORE SOB

I mean serious though, these guys would have never even thrown a punch if NO one was around.

Kings/Royals are both dope names, but both are obviously cursed. Sucks because Seattle Kings / Seattle Royals both sound dope imo. They should at least burn all Kings-related graphic design predating 1990; former logo + unis were great.

Royals won a world series though. Few things compare to what has happened to the Kings. Those fans have to live with game 6 and their franchise withering and leaving.

In discussing the New York Knicks’ new focus on guarding the opposition, Stoudemire said he hadn’t “been taught defense” in his 10-year NBA career before this season. D’Antoni, now head coach of the LA Lakers, coached Stoudemire in Phoenix and New York. He was astounded upon hearing the statement, to say the least.

Tommy Heinsohn ‏@CSNTommy
Did a player ever threaten to fight Tommy in the parking lot after the game? "They wouldn't dare."

kind of amazing how clips have turned a bunch of the laker's old trash and an unrepentant gunner into a killer defensive bench mob

matt barnes has always been kinda underrated though, i wanted the c's to get him a couple years ago when they ended up with pietrus instead

super psyched for the nu-sonics, hope that really happens

hilarious that ballmer is involved

rebounders, rebounders, rebounders!

god barnes would have been so much better in that role

he could have had all the money they wasted on marquis and sasha pavlovic

jeff green just did back2back monster throwdowns

Timmy is sonning Robert sacre so hard right now

balmer sees that paul allen has preserved a public profile after leaving microsoft only because he owns two sports teams. balmer wants to be noticed, I'm guessing.

tommy says abt jeff green 'one dribble drives that exactly whats gonna make him a superstar'

on melo:

“I get suspended for a phone hang-up and people just get away with anything in his league,” said a tongue-in-cheek Rajon Rondo, who was suspended one-game for allegedly bumping official Rodney Mott on Saturday in Atlanta and being “unresponsive” to a league inquiry on Monday. “Oh, my goodness, so that’s the same thing huh? The rep I’ve earned, I’ll have to deal with it.”

why the hell would that be a flagrant

cause it was unnecessary

Melo suspended and Love out 8-10

tbf he also dated gina gershon

prob. his greatest lifetime accomplishment

@haralabob

A former coach told me that Larry Sanders is basically Bill Russell, except he's playing against athletes. I like this theory.

if only the celtics bench played like that every night

brandon jennings 20 pts in 3rd quarter

That bench hasn't looked anywhere near being good enough to outscore the starters this season

jameer just hit one of the most unnecessarily difficult jumpshots i've ever seen. something like 16 left on the shit clock he's dribbling on the right wing, plants and elevates all in one motion, his body re-adjusting counter-clockwise in mid-air since he's right handed, and he banks it in off the glass

these rockets unis are a nod to their sizable chinese fanbase, no?

lmao earl Clark with a career high right now

stop taking threes monta

Haralabos Voulgaris ‏@haralabob
Ya he's a great player. RT @DannyHorowitz: @haralabob Sanders projects to be pretty good in this era, no?

Haralabos Voulgaris ‏@haralabob
Then again if you stuck LeBron in Russell's era.

Haralabos Voulgaris ‏@haralabob
If you stuck Larry Sanders in Bill Russell's era - not saying he'd be as good as Russell. But they'd be similar.

tony parker what are you doing

hadnt read yet k., my bad xpost

Russell was more fluid than Sanders. As far as shotblocking goes I totally buy it though cuz I'm a sanders superfan.

Hey guys guess what lakers SUUUUUUUCK

i am thoroughly enjoying the lakers misery

brewer is making a nice trade deadline push

this is what everyone was secretly hoping would happen to the Heat two years ago but its even better now cuz its the Lakers

turned houston/nola on in the 4th quarter rockets by ten, they lose by nine lol

missed the 4th but wtf happened to harden, 1 shot in the 4th and 7 TOs for the game

seemed like he took more than 1, maybe they just all got stolen when he was abt to shoot

oh you mean one made shot

yeah idk rockets scored ten points in the quarter, hornets hit a bunch of threes it was kinda nuts

wow Odom. I am surprisingly enjoying his comeback.

he's struggled at times but it's a joy watching him play as always. he's been good of late

what'd he do i'm watching the nuggs game
