Lasme Watch: In your face JRHOMER

What a world we live in when Patrick OBryant and Stephane Lasme can be so celebrated and Baron Davis so reviled.

Is it ok to revile Thud, Webber and Mbenga?

If you want to... but these were not major guys on the team. Webber and Mbenga would have never even been brought aboard if POB played like a lotto pick instead of a lost little boy.

In hindsight it would have been wise to keep Lasme around to see if he could have turned into something, but to start a religion in his name is taking it a step too far.

That's entirely fair enough. Obee "Pyle'ing out" and essentialy proving Nellie right was his own responsibility. (However, it is hard to perservere and prove the coach wrong when you have been instructed to stand still as a practice cone.)

This one is for Rowell:

This one is for everybody.

If you're a Celtics fan, it's officially time to re-read my column from May 23, 2007, factor in the tidbit that the Chairman is three years old than his listed age of 20, check out the decline in his monthly splits, remember the Celtics would have taken him had Seattle not agreed to trade Ray Allen, take a long look at Boston's place in the 2007-08 NBA standings, then spend the next 15 to 45 minutes doing Tiger fist pumps.

This one's for Loyal (the big racist.)

112. Yao Ming
You know what's great about this country? If you have a sports column and write opinions like, "Yao is overrated" and "When he's out of the lineup, the Rockets are quicker and more effective defensively," you'll get a few angry e-mails from readers claiming you're just downing Yao because he's Chinese. I love where we're headed as a society. Let's all take a bow.

And one more for Nick:

82. Leandro Barbosa
The odds-on favorite for the Al Harrington Award in the 2008 playoffs, given to the nonsuperstar who somehow holds an enormous amount of sway over his team's playoff chances, and what makes it really frustrating is that, deep down, his teammates know they can't totally count on him, so when he craps the bed in a playoff series, it's doubly frustrating and becomes something of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Did that make sense? Wait until one of the next three rounds. It will make sense.

Don't forget:

This happy camper went over the line when he "pulled his groin" while smooching my wife after hitting a halfcourt shot in warmups. He's got game, according to her. Maybe if the Warriors hang a skirt on the hoop instead of a net we'd see a little of that out on the court.
