Laker's/NBA Questions...

DubaLakers · Post #1 » by **DubaLakers** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 2:19 am

1. Would you trade PJax straight up for Coach Pop?

2. I may need an eye exam, but is AB17 in need of a treatment of Just For Men??

3. Is Lebron the greatest ATHLETE to ever play in the NBA?

4. Is there a nicer person in the Lakers organization than Jeannie Buss?

5. Is this the last year D Fisher starts for the LAL?

6. Has AB17's game here to stay after his recent flourish, or is it still a work in progress?

7. Do you think Lamar will be donning purple and gold next season?

8. Have you as a LAL fan become a little bored with the competition around the league, with the exception of a small handful of clubs? I gotta admit first time ever I'm like "ho-hum, another pawning."

9. Rick Fox looks like he can still play, did he leave too early?

10. Did you ever think you would enjoy listening to what Reggie Miller or Chris Webber had to say?

11. FTW is this Basketball Jones Show? They both don top shelf apple laptops and they are in this quiet cool looking room that's a little spooky, and they just ramble on about the NBA like we all do, what's the inside story on this show? My guess is the sidekick guy is rich off his ass through family money and the host is a geeky stat boy bball fan cpu nerd and it came together with the sidekick guys family funding. There's my shot in the dark. Most of you will say FTW is he talking about, lol.

1. Would you trade PJax straight up for Coach Pop?

thanks, but no thanks

2. I may need an eye exam, but is AB17 in need of a treatment of Just For Men??

uhm.. i dunno

3. Is Lebron the greatest ATHLETE to ever play in the NBA?

Probably not... Wilt comes to mind... he is pretty amazing though

4. Is there a nicer person in the Lakers organization than Jeannie Buss?

I dunno.. havent met them all

5. Is this the last year D Fisher starts for the LAL?

Maybe... He could be a decent starter for one more year... It depends on if J-Far can stay consistent on both ends

6. Has AB17's game here to stay after his recent flourish, or is it still a work in progress?

He's 21, of course he will have his ups and downs

7. Do you think Lamar will be donning purple and gold next season?

Before the season/beginning of the season I thought the answer was for sure No... But now I'm not so sure... Probably depends on how much of a paycut he's willing to accept

8. Have you as a LAL fan become a little bored with the competition around the league, with the exception of a small handful of clubs? I gotta admit first time ever I'm like "ho-hum, another pawning."

Naw.. I'll watch the Lakers play the Clippers 82 times a year standing bare ass naked in rain/sleet/snow/hail

9. Rick Fox looks like he can still play, did he leave too early?

uhm.. definitely not.. Devin George started over him in his last year.. He left at the right time

10. Did you ever think you would enjoy listening to what Reggie Miller or Chris Webber had to say?

Chris Webber is fine... Reggie only when he goes on one of his TRIPLE OCHO!!!11!!!!!1!! tirades

I'll give this a shot:

Only during the off-season IF Phil has already committed to retiring (not that SA would do it in that case :-?

)

DubaLakers wrote:2. I may need an eye exam, but is AB17 in need of a treatment of Just For Men??

You think he's going grey already? Personally, I think he should dye half his head purple and the other half gold

DubaLakers wrote:3. Is Lebron the greatest ATHLETE to ever play in the NBA?

No. Guys back in the '70s-'80s would run him off the floor.

DubaLakers wrote:4. Is there a nicer person in the Lakers organization than Jeannie Buss?

Is she nice? She sounds nice. She's cute too :oops:

DubaLakers wrote:5. Is this the last year D Fisher starts for the LAL?

Part of me says "I hope so" because IMO he's at that point of his career where he needs to play limited minutes in the regular season and turn it up in the playoffs, like Ron Harper.
Part of me says "I hope not" because that would mean having Farmar/Sasha/Sun as a starter, and none of them are up to his level yet.
Unless the Lakers can pull off some fantastic trade or get a steal in the draft.

DubaLakers wrote:6. Has AB17's game here to stay after his recent flourish, or is it still a work in progress?

Drew's got his confidence back. I don't expect him to go for 40 again this season (but I'm not counting it out) but I think his game will pick up considerably from the first half of the season.

DubaLakers wrote:7. Do you think Lamar will be donning purple and gold next season?

Unless the Lakers can pull off a killer trade, he'll be back. Except for Luxury Tax implications, it would be pointless to let him go for nothing. I don't think times are that bad for the Lakers organization yet (at least, I hope not :sad:

)

Blowouts can be dull, especially when the stars sit the 4th quarter. That said, I'd love it if every game was a dull, workmanlike, blowout win.

DubaLakers wrote:9. Rick Fox looks like he can still play, did he leave too early?

Even if he did leave early, he's been gone for 5½ years. Even if he wanted to play, he's gotta be horribly out of game shape. Plus, he'll be 40 in July.

DubaLakers wrote:10. Did you ever think you would enjoy listening to what Reggie Miller or Chris Webber had to say?

Nope. I still don't

They're Raptors fans. From Toronto. But they're pretty decent to listen to, they're not homers.
I don't watch the video though so maybe they're creepy weirdos podcasting out of mom's basement or something :confused:

DubaLakers wrote:1. Would you trade PJax straight up for Coach Pop?

Nah. Something about Phil that I like man.. I don't know if it's the confidence or the silent humor.. no clue.

2. I may need an eye exam, but is AB17 in need of a treatment of Just For Men??

Just For Men? I don't know about that one man.

3. Is Lebron the greatest ATHLETE to ever play in the NBA?

Nah, there's been some freaks. He's up there though, most likely.

4. Is there a nicer person in the Lakers organization than Jeannie Buss?

I don't know, but I'd definitely like to get her in a back room... Oh yeah.

5. Is this the last year D Fisher starts for the LAL?

I think so. I think the starter next year will be... Jason Kidd.

6. Has AB17's game here to stay after his recent flourish, or is it still a work in progress?

There's going to be some more ups and downs. Don't expect 18/10 every game, but I think he'll more consistent as the season goes on.

7. Do you think Lamar will be donning purple and gold next season?

Yes.. He'll take a pay cut. I don't think the teams with cap room are going to spend their money on him. He could slip through and have to take MLE money, and I'm pretty sure he'd rather take MLE money from the Lakers than a lesser team or something.

8. Have you as a LAL fan become a little bored with the competition around the league, with the exception of a small handful of clubs? I gotta admit first time ever I'm like "ho-hum, another pawning."

Early, yeah. Lately, now that they seem to let every team come back and make it interesting, I'm constantly yelling at the TV even when they're up 15-20.

9. Rick Fox looks like he can still play, did he leave too early?

He left a year or two too early, but that's good. He would have had to play with the Celtics and that's just ridiculous. If he didn't get traded for Chris Mihm, then I think he definitely would have played another year or two. This season though? Nah.

10. Did you ever think you would enjoy listening to what Reggie Miller or Chris Webber had to say?

I always liked them both as players, just hated what team they were on. They're funny to watch and listen to though.

No clue what you're talking about.

There you go.

DubaLakers wrote:1. Would you trade PJax straight up for Coach Pop?

No I wouldn't, Pop is great though, but I think Phil Jackson is a better fit for this current Lakers team.

2. I may need an eye exam, but is AB17 in need of a treatment of Just For Men??

no...

3. Is Lebron the greatest ATHLETE to ever play in the NBA?

He might be depending on your definition of what makes a good athlete. If it's strength and speed you're looking for then I think he is. Some people might consider Dwight a better athlete because he is stronger.

4. Is there a nicer person in the Lakers organization than Jeannie Buss?

Probably not, she's peachy keen.

5. Is this the last year D Fisher starts for the LAL?

Yes, Lakers are signing Jason Kidd next year for the mid-level.

6. Has AB17's game here to stay after his recent flourish, or is it still a work in progress?

He's 21 years old, he still has work to do.

7. Do you think Lamar will be donning purple and gold next season?

If he doesn't get traded by the deadline I think he is. I don't really see any of the teams with cap space offering him much. Will take a pay cut to stay here I think.

8. Have you as a LAL fan become a little bored with the competition around the league, with the exception of a small handful of clubs? I gotta admit first time ever I'm like "ho-hum, another pawning."

Not really, there are more than 5 teams in the league right now that I think could upset us in a 7 game series.

9. Rick Fox looks like he can still play, did he leave too early?

Yea he left to early but I don't think he could suit up right now.

10. Did you ever think you would enjoy listening to what Reggie Miller or Chris Webber had to say?

No

I think it's funny sometimes.

I'll just comment on the Just for Men....

ronnymac2 · Post #7 » by **ronnymac2** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 4:19 am

1. I'll take Pj.

2. lol huh?

3. Possibly. He's def up there. He's unique.

4. I dunno.

5. No, Fisher will start again next year.

6. Bynum is clearly still a work in progress. His reactions and reads need to improve, he must improve his passing, his needs to be more polished with his post moves, he needs to maintain aggression on offense and defense, and he needs to defend better.

7. I hope so. We'll see how this season goes.

8. No. We need to stay hungry against everybody.

9. No, not anymore. He was one of my favorite players though. Great role player.

10. Not really. They are pretty good though. I like Webber. Miller is a good announcer.

11. ???

DubaLakers · Post #8 » by **DubaLakers** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 5:27 am

Thanks guys I liked all your responses, and special thanks to Phil 2.0, never thought of that, that clears it up, THX! You can def see it on HD, that explains why some people are FTW is he talking about?

#10 What I meant was I like both these guys a lot as broadcasters, but hated them as players, Crystals' "Why me!" cry, and Reggie's scissor kick AND1 on every three attempt. Reggie is really good

Phil I looked closely again, dude that's 21 year old pre-mature grey on AB's dome.
