It's a good day in Lakerland!

Ingram is probably the dumbest of them all. I agree and still have no idea what was going on in his head when he pushed Harden then came back to throw random punches behind others backs.

Rondo is a thug. Spitting on CP3 is completely classless. I hope they suspend him for a loooooong time. CP3 shouldn't get a suspension. He was spit on and then punched in the right eye by Rondo. All he did in retaliation was put his finger in Rondo's face after being spit on, which imo is completely showing restraint as I would've completely lost it if I was him.

One of the local sports guys here tweeted the Seinfeld-JFK scene "back and to the left". Gave me a good laugh.

This fight may have interested me enough to try out basketball again more regularly.

 

It was a good game till the fight, yes the fight was entertaining but then the game was over. It was a better game before the fight.

 

Last summer I wrote this, fast forward to today. No surprises.

 

I’m a lifelong Lakers fan, but the nickname “Lebron Blames” has become fitting this season.

Lol

 

LeBron is a BUST

Lakers have the exact same horrible record last year without him...

I love it.

Cements Jordan as the best.

I loved hearing the opposing announcer calling out Lebron a couple of nights ago about how unprofessional and not into the game he was while chatting it up with people behind the bench. Next up, Lebron is getting a divorce.

 

A divorce?

 

Kind of a joke. Sean Pendergast on 610 was making a tongue-in-cheek comment a few weeks ago during one of Lebrons really highly lackadaisical games and attitudes. He compared it to how he felt when he got a divorce. Lebron's checked out and cares more about doing his podcast and running his media company than playing basketball. And to do it on such a historical franhise like the Lakers is really shocking. Shoulda retired before going all in.

 

Are Laker tickets cheap now? Might be a good opportunity to go watch him for the first time.

 

This has to be one of the most INSULTING questions ever asked by a sports reporter.

At a press conference introducing the new Lakers coach, a reporter asks why they picked him after looking at two other guys more highly sought after and "what went wrong" in the coach search!

And the new coach is RIGHT THERE!

First off, YES, I know this forum was started a long time ago.

They need a lot more than LeBron, remember when LA tried to stack the roster 15-20 years ago
by bringing in a whole bunch of 'one-and-retired' guys for one last shot? Karl Malone, Gary Payton, etc.?

Until the rich get hurt.
Yes, it happened to GS - nobody saw that coming, but it HAPPENS - in every sport.

I don't think it matters, people 'heard of' LeBron when he played in CLV, and also
when he was in Miami - which is NOT a hotbed of basketball fans.

This is where the salary cap is supposed to minimalize this, but I don't know how
a couple of teams can get 'loaded' while others cannot afford anything, and those
'loaded' teams seem to be in LA, NY and Boston. What happened to Chicago?
How does Houston do it?

 

First starters, by getting of Chris Paul. As long as he is on their roster they will never sniff an NBA title

 

It's not a real cap. Teams can go over it. Here are team salaries for this past season and so far what's under obligations. As you can see those that pay the most end up with the title. No 2003 Marlins here.

And I think Tilman is starting to realize he can't operate a sports franchise like a regular business.

 

Agree
