He's a moron. He had an actual decent look (as decent as you can get in that situation) and he puts the ball on the floor to create more space. I'm with Hollinger the dude needs to be shipped out while his stock is hot on the market.

Watching that game if Shumpert's absolute floor potential wise is Tony Allen I'm 100% fine with that.. dude is ALL hustle and heart he pretty much single handedly tied the game for them just working harder then everybody else on the floor. Love his game.

Lin benched for the entire 4th quarter after shooting 1/5.

I missed the first 3.5 quarters, but I see Kemba had a career high. Was most of that with Lin guarding him?

That aint coaching, that's a confidence issue.

So goes the yoyo with young, unfamiliar players/teams. The whole Rox team has been on the downside of the yoyo since the NOH game. One team figures them out and they're shook for awhile.

So, you getting my sig ready?

I was tempted to post a thread about it. Are they trying to force Pau to demand a trade? I guess they decided that Pau and Dwight cannot play together in D'Antoni's system.

Either Pau or Pringles has to go--you're not winning a championship with Earl Clark as your starting PF...what a mess.

Looks like Lin got roasted, barbecued, braised, basted, chewed up and spit out by Kemba:

I always think back to those training videos Lin's camp put on YouTube making it look like he's going to be unstoppable, draining every shot lol.

I actually thought he was going to explode even more on the scene after watching those videos. I remember my thought process was where does he have to go but up. He's headed in the opposite direction.

The Lakers are 26th in the League in Defense and they have Artest and Dwight. That makes no sense.

Artest hasn't been a lockdown defender since 2010. Neither has Kobe.

When your coach is Antoni, it actually does make sense.

It's still no excuse for them being 26th in the League. Kobe has lost his mind and thinks he's still playing for the USA team and he thinks he can make silly gambles on defense. I even heard that D'antoni does not want him to ball hawk anymore because it will take a toll on his 34 year old body and he wants Kobe to save his energy for offense.
