Rajon Rondo
Never run a fast break to the rim without checking back to see if Lebron is about to jump your ass. I thought he’d knew…
Hahaha
Love the awkward attempts to converse by Rivers/Brown. I want to see the equivalent conversations that Phil/Pop have; that would be hilarious.

KG couldn't be expected

Question about NBA League Pass
Trying out the free trial they got going on right now because we have no cable at my house.
The Celtics game is blacked out and I assume the Laker one tonight is too. My question is are all the national games (ESPN, TNT) blacked out on League Pass? If not, I’ll consider buying it as an alternative to cable…but if they are screw that.

its the nature of the business
League Pass would have to pay ESPN or TNT for the games, they don’t wnat to do that, customer gets owned, gg.

Bingo
They want people to watch the nationally televised games. Way too much money goes into them to have alternative methods.

Hey, I’m showing up late but I just wanted to comment for anyone considering League Pass Broadband. I bought it last year to watch western playoff teams besides the Lakers (who I watch on cable).
I was really frustrated because when they say all national games are blacked out they not only mean TNT, ESPN & ABC games but also NBA/TV games. I can’t tell you how often the non-Laker game I wanted to watch was on “NBA/TV’s NBA Fan Night”. It was so frustrating that I doubt I will get League Pass Broadband again this year.
We now return to another Lakers dynasty - already in progress. October 2009
I wonder when KG is going to start yapping at Shaq's face
ooops. I forgot….Shaq’s taller than 5’5

I read a really sad story on wafer that he wanted to be a Laker so badly that Phil said when he left the team he cried and was very emotional and Phil himself said that he wished he could of kept him. So when I seen him in Houston in the playoffs I was always nervous about him.

Were frankly horrible. That said, for a backup guard who plays spot minutes, he’s solid.

So long as Cleveland's offense
Is as one-dimensional as it’s been for the past quarter and a half, they’re going to get slaughtered.
To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
On top of that
I think Kuester not being there is starting to show. It’s hard to discern an offensive set being executed, if at all, in Cleveland’s offense. LeBron taking contested jumpers at the top of the key isn’t going to work.
To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
Not that I was the only one
But I’ve been pushing that angle for weeks
Kuester might have been the 2nd most important person to Cleveland’s success last year, behind Lebron
Amen
Brown finally delegating the offensive responsibilities to someone much more capable of executing them was an underrated reason behind their success last year, as well as their otherworldly scoring margin.
It really bears repeating how bad of an offensive coach Brown is. Especially with Shaq there, those offensive sets need to be crisp. Think of all the coaches Shaq has had — Brian Hill, Del Harris, Phil Jackson, Pat Riley, Mike D’Antoni, and Alvin Gentry. All these guys were great offensive coordinators. Brown isn’t even in these guys’ shadow in that regard. It’s a storyline that bears watching for most of the season.

He was Poppovich's assistant
Of course he’s going to be more defensive minded.
by Julio Nievas on Oct 27, 2009 6:15 PM PDT up reply actions
Yes, but Pop is a good offensive coach
Barring Larry Brown, I don’t think there’s another coach I want to plan a play out of a timeout in the closing minutes of a game or quarter.
Brown is downright awful in managing that end, and has been for years.

You can't say downright awful
He’s taken the Cavaliers to the finals twice. Grant it he has Lebron.
by Julio Nievas on Oct 27, 2009 6:21 PM PDT up reply actions
Just once, I'm pretty sure
And the offense that team played was just as horrible.
Brown is a GREAT defensive coach, but I could draw up an offense as effectively as he could
To the Finals once, and have you watched Cleveland any the past years?
Their offense was LeBron dribbling at the top of the key for ten to fifteen seconds and then either shooting a contested jumper at the top of the key or going to the rim. That their offense still works is testament to how good LeBron is more than anything Brown does on that end.
Before he delegated responsibility to Kuester, their offense was 18th and 20th in offensive efficiency in ‘06-’07 (their Finals team) and ‘07-’08 respectively.

I stand corrected

Weird possible storyline to keep an eye on
I’m in Hollywood right now, and the huge winds that have hit LA are causing intermittent power outages.
Presumably Staples has plenty of backup generators, but outages hitting downtown tonight are not out of the question.

Commercial gives me time to elaborate
The idea behind what they are doing isn’t necessarily so that the players can get more sleep, but it lets them sleep at the same time every day.
Establishing a daily rhythm is more important than the actual amount of sleep you get. For Kobe, he keeps the same pattern every day, it just happens to be a pattern that includes very little sleep every day. More sleep is always better, but it’s more productive to the body to get 6 hours every night than it is to get 5 one night and 8 the next
Quite right
Also, the fact that one or two coaches are doing it, and saying they’ve got good reasons for doing it, doesn’t make it a proven thing yet. D’Antoni in NYK, Rivers in BOS, both have reasons for nixing the morning shootaround (BTW, I’m assuming that’s what we’re talking about) … but others have tried it in the past, and not always to a very positive response. Whether it will work well in this case has yet to be determined.
Strength & Honor
It's good to be the Champs.
Portland actually was the team that fully embraced this concept last season
When on the road, they encouraged their players to stay up as late as they would normally at home, regardless of the time differential. Still didn’t translate to a bunch of wins on the road though.
Didn't know that
But now that I do, I remain skeptical. For what should be obvious reasons.

Ring Ceremony
Usually during the regular season when the 1st game of a double header goes into over time TNT cuts into the 2nd game but they announced that they are cutting to the ring ceremony. Which is great. I cannot wait.

I've been waiting for this all summer
Come Lakers!!!! YEAH!!!! Whoever is running this thread had better be prepared to gimme my threads a.s.a.p
On another note I really want Boston to absolutely MURDER the Cavs.
I can’t stand the upcoming Lebron love fest/ man crush that we will be forced to watch on ESPN over the season.
That is a hard one for me
Lebron got the MVP last year which is good for him but Kobe got the Finals MVP. So Lebron can get all the regular season acholades as long as the Lakers are champs. But I will always be happy when the Celtics loose. My hatred for the Celtics is on a different level no matter how much love Lebron gets. Kobe has 4 title and Lebron has zero. He has a long way to go. In other words, it is more important to me that the Lakers pass the Celtics in titles or any accomplishments. PHil already passed Red in titles and that was huge.

Yeah i understand all your points
because my hatred for Boston is such that I don’t speak to my Celtic loving co-workers whenever the Lakers play. But my hatred for the hype surrounding Lebron is fast approaching the level i have for the Spurs, Blazers and 2001-2004 Kings.
I HATED it when they had this guy come striaght from high school and say he is the savior of the GAME!!! and this is when we had Shaq, Duncan KG, Kobe, Webber all in their primes!!!
Anyway on to much more serious things Mr Tucker I hope you have a crystal ball because I will be keeping you on your toes so as to ensure you don’t slack off with the speed of the posts and threads.

Besides…. he got to the Finals, kicked ass, but was beaten by the Bulls. It’s hard to begrudge a guy for losing to Jordan.
From Wikipedia:
“Despite Barkley’s proclamation to Jordan, that it was “destiny” for the Suns to win the title, they were defeated in six games by the Bulls.28 He averaged 26.6 points and 13.6 rebounds per game during the whole postseason,12 including 27.3 points, 13.0 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game throughout the championship series.29 In the fourth game of the Finals, Barkley recorded a triple-double after collecting 32 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists."

To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
The Cavs haven't really allowed him to initiate the offense, which he is good at doing.
Its been Lebron or Williams, sans the bench players.
Just tuned into the action and I am surprised...
to find myself rooting for the Celtics to beat the Cavs.
Only dull people are brilliant at breakfast.
Lakers would roll over both the teams I watched tonight
with a healthy Gasol.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
TNT just flashe a ticker at the bottom of the screen
Up next" Lakers Ring Ceremony" They have said it so many times so it looks like we will see…I can’t wait! Sniff….sniff! Redemption for all the shit talking that Kobe has been hearing all these years.

LeBron is stalling
so the country won’t see Kobe get his ring. The King can’t be upstaged.

If he stopped and turtled up, they would have fouled him.

All he's missing
Is to dye his hair blond and we have our Rodman clone.

Life is about learning as long as you're alive you will always learn

I once thought that my INTENSE HATRED of Boston couldn’t get any higher but I just saw Rasheed Wallace!!! of all persons in a Celtic jersey and guess what my HATRED soared a few notches higher.
I guess the lesson life is teaching me is to never say never.
Lets get this show on the road COME ON LAKERS!!!!!
