[Desiderium]

Everyone to Ron: STFU

You need leather pants. And some black shades. In the worst way.

Dude is probably doing the down low back in Queens during his off season

[snaquille oatmeal]

oh by the way those of you who are calling for Metta to retire or get traded or what not tell me who is gonna defend Caron Buttler, Paul Pierce, Melo, Lebron, etc? Luke Walton?

yeah he needs to improve his game, but he is really a luxury to have in those games. now laugh at his effin' jokes!

What else did Kobe say? Did you hear what Kobe said before the game.....? Didn't know him then but definitely learned a lesson.

and what lesson might that be?

why do people assume that Kobe disrespected Linn when he said he didn't know who he was? Kobe didn't even know that him and Howard had a conversation and called D12 his Tyson Chandler. Linn has played 4 games in the NBA for effs sakes. just because you don't watch ESPN doesn't mean you are disrespecting anybody.

Who mentioned disrespect?

He didn't know anything about Lin, now he just took a course in Linology and a lesson learned: this guy can play. Didn't think Kobe was the guy to just pay attention to a guy the night of the game, when everyone else already knows he has skills.

the disrespect thing wasn't towards you just a general comment.
here is the thing that people are forgetting and in a way i'm glad because it can be looked at as an excuse (and Im proud of all you guys for not bringing it up in the game thread) the Lakers were on the a$$ end of a back to back OT win with Boston! don't know if anyone noticed that they just had no energy. you can't really judge a player when he goes off on a tired team. no disrespect to Lin, I like him he is fun to watch, but let's just wait until he is properly scouted and faces a rested above average team. imo it is too early to put him on a pedestal. let's see how he does in the playoffs and let's not even pretend that 4 games>>>5 rings.
