Something about "Team Turkey" just sounds humorous.

You know, man, following the Lakers for 9 seasons in Europe is not easy to manage either.

Will anyone be recording this?

If so, you can host your file online and save us Angelenos some much-needed sleep.

Guys, it's on ESPN 2 which means it's guaranteed to be on again. Looking at my TV schedule thing it looks like it's on again at 8PM eastern

I checked, and it is re-airing on ESPN2 at 8 PM Est right after a road to glory episode or w/e, I think I may hit up the 8 PM one..

I'm finding myself getting really fired up about the Olympics. I don't know if it's just because I'm in hoops withdrawal or what, but I'll be really disappointed if we don't take gold. I can only imagine all the Euro trolls who will siege the general board if that happens...

almost game time

Our defense is kinda wack... I expect every game to start like this though.. Teams will play us well in the 1st but our depth will start to get to teams in the 2nd and 3rd

what a pass from kobe to howard...!! its gonna be like this next season when #17!! comes back

Why is turkey's defense shutting down our halfcourt offense? It actually kind of hurts to watch, DAMN IT! I JUST MISSED A LEBRON TO KOBE OOP B/C I WAS TYPING THIS! Seriously though, now LBJ is getting into with some dude, but we need to click offensively. We have been playing the pick and roll/passing lanes well, and Lebron just took the ball from Ilyasavo a few times. We need to learn to grab the ball with two hands.
