hmm...isnt it weird Vlad didnt get no PT and hes been playing great for the whole season so far?

[RIPskaterdude]

How does the free tacos thing work? If you hold them under 100?

Yes, If you hold the team under 100 the entire crowd gets free tacos. I think its JackIntheBox deep fried tacos that look really bad and are, however, after a late night they taste really good.

Oh really? I don't care WHICH team I would be supporting, I would DEFINATELY want some free tacos. I know those tacos at Jack smell/look terrible, but like you said, after a late night, they definately hit the spot...

I think I might get some right now

Good luck with the rest of the season.

[DEEP3CL]

i think the its time for coaching staff to start getting some heat. Clearly, they are unqualified.

OK Kobay I'm going to ask up straight up.............how long have you been watching the NBA ? Have you any knowledge of the coaches playing days ? How do you make such an asinine statement about their qualifications ?

Starting from the medical staff to the head coach.

You do realize the Lakers have changed team doctors right ?

Hey Phil you know JackIntheCrack was just voted most unhealthiest food in America right................lay off that junk we need you here with the old heads !

[Sedale Threatt]

I would absolutely love some free tacos right about now...so I could pelt our players with them as they drive past in their fine luxury automobiles.

Boston and Cleveland are straight murdering people, and here we are dicking around with the dogshit Sacramento Kings for the second time in a week.

I could never have imagined a scenario where I would feel that a 19-3 team is underachieving, but here we are. We are playing with absolutely zero chemistry right now. They're wearing the same uniforms, but that's about it. Otherwise it's every man for himself.

[dockingsched]

of course this game was close. i'm glad i missed a game against the kings once again.

[DEEP3CL]

Sedale the Cavs haven't really played anybody, so I wouldn't obsess with them so much. Boston is in the mist of a lite schedule except for the Hornet game tonight it's not much on their plate right now. And the thing with the Hornets is they're not able to sneak up on anybody this season.

The media is smoking this crack pipe fooling themselves that the East is improved............I need to shove their heads up they a$$ so they can see sh*t clearly. The East is full of bad teams period, the lowest seed in the West (Suns 14-10) has a better record then all but the top 4 teams in the East. Dallas at 12-9 would be a 5th seed in the East but they wouldn't qualify at the moment here in the West. Case close.

I was gonna pitch a b*tch tonight but I'm not, I'm getting a grip on what's wrong defensively. This is our adversity period we just gotta weather the storm.

[Sedale Threatt]

But it's not like we've had a tough schedule, either -- 14 of the first 22 games at Staples, caught the Suns without two starters and Dallas (twice) without Josh Howard.

Frankly, this is the cake part of our season, and we shouldn't be struggling like this. Obviously we're still winning, but it's equally obvious that we're not playing worth a crap, especially not compared to how we looked over the first few weeks.

And say what you want about Cavs -- any team with a player like LBJ has to be respected, in my opinion, especially now that they seem to have finally given him a decent supporting cast. They might be playing cream puffs right now, but at least they're destroying them, and looking damn good doing it.

The same can't really be said about us, can it?

But yeah, I agree that we can worry about them, and the Celtics, later. It's just frustrating to see those teams play with such obvious hunger and cohesion while we're loafing around without any real direction. Just seems like we're all pulling in a different direction right now, and that does not bode well in my opinion.

[dockingsched]

cavs schedule may have been pretty easy lately, but when you set a record for most consecutive 12+ point wins, you're doing something right. they surely aren't having to battle in the 4th against the same caliber of teams the lakers are struggling to beat.

[CITYOFANGELSX3]

Lakers pull it out, what a nasty dunk by kobe.

Also, Bynum fouled out. Which was a horrible flagrant call. That's why your not gettin 4th q minutes drew.

Lakers are saving their energy for the playoffs

[Slava]

Well.. atleast Kobe was playing like himself after a long time.

[Minhee]

Minhee, I will buy you some tacos. Platonic of course..

Thanks Phil! How do we make this team better? And can you go to vegas to make McCourt offer Manny an acceptable deal.
