At this point it is pretty sad on their part. I feel sorry for them.

I agree with Reggie... Parsons is so beast he can ball out on the court and still have time to fraternized with Webber.

Well, yeah, but the article also says he won't play a game this season

Sry, your post had last career game, I guess it was a typo.

What I meant was that this article a month ago also said Nash wouldn't play another game this season and voila! So can't be really trusted. A newer article is a newer article.

Asik and the offense playing so well, Lakers can have Howard back in exchange for their first rounder :lol:

I am more concerned by the fact that LA scored 130. Talk about LA "fans" being jaded by hatred though. They can't accept the fact that Howard chose not to sign in LA.

this style of game and the way lakers play is perfect for isiah......i always felt that if harden would be more of a playmaker or if the other guys find ways to get isiah some open shots, he will bury most of them.

Follow Rockets recall Troy Daniels and Robert Covington from RGV. Both will be in Denver tonight. Guessing McHale might rest a regular or two.

Cool story:

Steve Nash came off the Lakers’ bench on Tuesday five assists from passing Mark Jackson for third place behind John Stockton and Jason Kidd on the NBA career assists lists. But to Rockets guard Jeremy Lin, Nash was an inspiration because of how got to the record books.

“The one thing I’ll always learn from his career is with some guys that have an amazing career or a stat line like he does you think he came into the league and dominated,” Lin said. “With him, I don’t think everybody saw this coming.

“For me, that was always inspiration. I felt like I didn’t have a great first year at all. He was one of the guys Donnie Nelson mentioned to me when I was playing for Dallas in the summer league.”

Before Lin went to Harvard, he had played for the California High School section championship at Nash’s school, Santa Clara.

“Everywhere, you saw Nash stuff and heard his name being from that area,” Lin said. “He was someone I saw coming not from a big-name basketball school but from the area I was from doing what he did.

“He was an amazing player, a two-time MVP. What he did in Phoenix was amazing.”

It's cool they still do the pre-game ritual and Lin shaking hand with MDA.

Ehh.....no one here in LA is taking that stuff seriously anymore. That was just something for them to do while at the game, part of going to a Laker game is just to do whatever the fad thing is to do.

And a few thousand fans in the upper bowl of an arena doesn't represent the mass fan base that's walking the streets. Anybody thinking what a some do at a game is the collective feeling of the rest of us is straight up lost in it's own self gloating.

Howard left, it's over and done with because it wasn't like he was here for a good while and made an impact then left. That would be a whole other reason to feel jaded or burned by him.

It amazes me how people ( not saying you specifically ) think they know the LA fan base, now maybe outside Laker fans that don't live in LA feel some sort of way but here in Los Angeles it's old, done and over.
