I said before the deal was closed that you'd lose more in Marion than you'd gain in Shaq. Raja's defense has always been over-rated, going all the way back to his Philly days. Marion covered for a lot of your guys defensively. Now that's gone and it's precisely what you're missing.

They gonna have you for lunch dude. No need to post what they have better knowledge of then us. (That's if your even a true Laker fan, cause I've never seen you on our board). Plus you have only 51 post,your better off just reading what they post and get the hell out.

Well, thankfully Boozer didn't go bananas as I thought but then, he hardly needed to. 64% FG and 90% FT certainly don't suck and he went for a relatively quiet 23 while Deron and Okur worked it. Someone predicted Okur... I forget who, but kudos.

Plus side, Nash didn't turn the ball over all the much, all considering, and a 5:1 Assist-to-Turnover ratio is actually awesome.

Downside? Well, I like the part where D'Antoni is an idiot...

Anyone got any idea why Grant only played 21 minutes? I didn't see him get hurt other than when he got called for the foul against Harpring when he almost deliberately tripped him.

Anyways if he wasn't hurt then it makes no sense to me that he wasn't on the court when the game was on the line. Instead we had Barbs jacking shots and Diaw traveling. :roll:

I was wondering the same thing. I hope he is not injured. Hill left with 7 minutes left in the 4th quarter and never came back in.

He didn't seem injured on the bench as when a big play happened he stood up, this happened on at least two occasions so I suppose that is one good thing. :pray:

Laugh if you want, and i won;t blame you, but barkley had a good point last night - unless you're one of the top four teams in the west, the playoffs in-conference are going to be tough to survive, trying to win three series on the road.

Then again, has this team every done anything the easy way?

God, I'm already looking at who's going to be available in the off-season ...
