Trevor Ariza breaks foot

Tough break, he was playing well for them. High energy, steals and a defensive wing.

Actually that's thing FT% doesn't count in this league (why? I don't know but hey I'll take it), and I do have Calderon =]...

Turnovers are something I struggle with because of the trio of Howard + Bryant + (Gerald) Wallace. I'm actually looking to move Wallace for someone of equal value who averages less turnovers, but we'll have to wait and see how that works out.

Basically I have a 15 game lead on 3rd place, and there's only a 0.5 game difference between me and 2nd place (not coincidentally 2nd place is a friend of mine who I talk with back and forth in regards to what to do with his team, and what I should do with my team)...

I just wrapped up an 8-0 week though so it's all good =]

....they've played 17 games on the road and have faced the suns twice, jazz twice, hornets twice, pistons,spurs, celtics. They haven't had an easy or home weighted schedule like last year.

Damn Lamar, just because you can't make a freaking layup doesn't mean you have to injure all of your teammates.

Both Bynum and Ariza were injured landing on Odoms foot. Kwame was injured in the past by landing on Odoms foot.

"He got tangled up with Lamar," Coach Phil Jackson said a few minutes after Ariza left practice for X-rays at Centinela Hospital Medical Center

And another key guy goes down... not good for the Show. Bad news, I love Ariza.

At least it wasn't Farmar or Turiaf. But the Lakers are in trouble now, Kobe will need to perform at an insane level to keep them in the hunt in the West.

Wow, this season's taking a nasty turn for the worse for that team. When they finally pull it together they're ripped by injuries. Maybe God hates them? haha

It looks like Ariza was second best player on the Lakers behind Bynum or something...

Griever24 · Post #37 » by **Griever24** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 8:25 am

Ariza was really starting to contribute but i wouldnt be so sure .. i say maybe fisher then odom then Ariza .. none the less we were already extremely thin with Vladimir hurt, Bynum hurt, Chris Mihm hurt, And now ariza ? give us a break

This is the West where all the top teams are separated by 3-4 games. We need every man to cover these games. That is why we need Ariza. We could be looking at 9th seed with three straight losses

In the east.. not so much.... You can break Lebron's Knee., miss ten games, put it back and still make a run for the playoffs.

Maybe they should make Odom wear a bubblewrap suit.

What an absurd post, LA had one of the toughest schedules in the whole league, you have no idea what you're talking about.
