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

mad hyped for pelicans

charlotte should take back the hornets name

while we're at it twolves should become the lakers and lakers should become who cares and utah should probably not be the jazz anymore

they should release a flock of pelicans inside the stadium

utah lakers more like

George Karl doesn't pull punches when talking about ILH poster-child McGee:

"He's got to understand that lazy and crazy isn't going to make it work," Karl said. "We want solid and we want fundamental, and we want spectacular but only when it happens, not forcing the action where sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't."

Whole article here: http://www.denverpost.com/nuggets/ci_22411570/nuggets-show-patience-talented-7-footer-javale-mcgee

for a while they were trying the story that they were limiting his minutes because he gets too tired from his asthma

george just hates him

he has played pretty poorly the last few weeks tbf

george is such a hater

McGee is such a numbskull

Karl Malone wasn't exactly Einstein either, but at least he gave you consistent production. McGee will get more consistent and find more minutes coming his way.

george doesn't suffer clowns lightly #melo

Malone was many things but nobody ever called him lazy.

If the Nuggets benched everyone for doing crazy and stupid things the only guys on the court would be gallinari and koufos

WHEE

DR. KOBE

Bryant also spoke up, acknowledging he could be "hard to play with" and asking Howard if that bothered him.

Howard's answer was unclear, though he did not engage Bryant in nearly as vocal a manner as Bryant engaged him.

Totally shocked that this dude is a passive-aggressive ninny

in like 10 years we'll stop and think "wow, remember when the Lakers passed on the greatest coach of all time for a guy who thought Pau should shoot threes?"

I feel like Jackson dodged a bullet.

John Hammond get a 3 year contract extension from the Bucks. He should buy a yacht and name it Larry Sanders.

I think he has one now called Fuck Scott Skiles.

omg

"Dwight Howard asked D'Antoni to take him out of the game, pointing to his right shoulder. Lakers down, 54-45. Howard: 0-for-4, two boards"

New season starts today.

50 foot lob from danilo to Javale :D

javale is on his game tonight

wow what a call

no joke wade just ordered mike miller to towel the floor where he fell down

oh my GOD JAVALE

Might hurt his back doing it, not cool wade. xp

javale just posted up asik, pumpfaked, got asik in the air, and then alleyooped it to himself off the glass from 7 feet away for the jam

like i'm not kidding he called for a towel so miller came off the bench to hand him one, then wade got up, pointed to the spot, and walked to the bench. it was hilarious

Clay, that close to the floor you should be able to hear some choice things. Plz share.

asik undercuts him some on that. not nice.

:D javale

what a play by noah!

Yeah was gonna say, Clay would love some on-court banter/demeanor reports.

And I would also love to know how Paul George / Lance Stephenson look in person, too.

What did noah do?

aimless im across from the indiana bench so won't be hearing much unfortunately.

Hibbert is a seriously physically impressive dude from this distance, I will say.

leonard vs hansbrough is an underrated matchup of spazzy white dudes

saved a ball going out of bounds w like 7 seconds remaining finding bellineli for an and1. game winner.
