Of course refs never see this stuff. It's Lebron and they wanna let him travel his way to a win (too bad he's not facing 2006 Wizards)

Did he travel after he caught the pass too? Or are my eyes just deceiving me...

With nothing better to do I actually watched that game... What struck me is;

Blake can look awkward as hell some times, and hasn't figured out how to rebound like a man yet... He seemed to fall on rebounds just as much as on shots. He's like a do-do bird... Muscular beauty in the air, not so much on the ground...

And the other thing was, between Blake, CP3, Wade, LeBron, it's shocking how few calls go Kobe's way... Those guys had friendly whistles like we haven't seen in a long time, just about all game.

It was funny too that with Blake, CP3, and Wade getting calls, the refs had to call someone and it fell on LeBron.

Part of the game I guess, but it was interesting.

There's an awesome round table discussion about the Showtime Lakers by ex-Lakers on NBATV right now. It's almost over, but it's really awesome listening to those guys talk about how they loved each other and how they put put winning above all else. That team had great leadership and professionalism from top to bottom, and damn were they fun to watch.

Kareem is sort of missing from the round table though... hmm.

They'll probably rerun it if you haven't seen it, so I'd highly recommend recording/watching it if you get a chance.

I wonder if the Nets recent struggles along with the Raptors current SF needs could make a Metta World Peace trade possible?

Why does Miami get 3 days off? Who made this (Please Use More Appropriate Word) schedule

Jetset · Post #831 » by **Jetset** » Mon Jan 16, 2012 12:54 am

Wade is out indefinitely.

We might stand a chance if it comes down to the 4th quarter.

Fk that, I wanna play them at full strength. Why do people make it sound like Miami is god. They are very much beatable.

Jetset · Post #833 » by **Jetset** » Mon Jan 16, 2012 1:00 am

Because unless you can run a decent zone they are.

Agree, they still lack interior depth and their bench is just as suspect than ours.

No they aren't. They almost lost to the wolves and bobcats. The only decent wins they had were probably against the Celtics and Mavs, and that was also earlier in the season when most teams came into the season out of shape. Miami hasn't really looked that good tbh

Fun fact

The Lakers played a league high 14 games while the Clippers played only 9
We had 4 sets of back to backs and one back to back to back...the Clippers had 1 back to back
The Clippers had 4 sets of 2 days off between games...we never had 2 days off

They do have their back to back to back coming up but it's really ridiculous how coddled they were by the league...with virtually no training camp it was huge for them with this soft schedule they had,as they were incorporating new players ..we didn't get this chance(new system,practices would have been very important)

Btw they have 3 days off before the rematch

I **** hate'em

ROballer let it go bro.

The Clippers Franchise went through a lifetime of back to back to backs in terms of losses. LMAO!

This is the greatest Clippers team ever.
An Bill Walton, Danny Manning, Ron Harper, and Sam Cassell should all agree.

It's all great now in the regular season and the first 15 games to top that.
Let's see if this ship will sail the same when it counts. ( Playoffs)

An meanwhile Deshawn Stevenson pushes Blake Griffin while in flight .
Blake bounces back up from the floor screaming bloody murder.

Like hey man doesn't he realize he did the same S#@! to Darius Morris the other night? LoL

I wouldn't call their win against the Celtics decent. Pierce didn't play and the Celtics, who are 4-7 this year, have completely fallen off on both ends of the floor.

Oddly enough, their most impressive win came in Atlanta when both LeBron and Wade were out.
