Lakers-Timberwolves Open Thread

Minnesota Timberwolves at Los Angeles Lakers, Dec 11, 2009 7:30 PM PST


Lamar Odom gets the thread pic and all associated mojo tonight. Make the most of your time, Lamar! You're likely to get off work early in favor of the Taco Unit.

Your drinking-game triggers for this one include any mention of the following.

It's Friday night, my peoples, so crack a bottle. The Lakers are favored by 16.

I love hearing "Tusk" at our Laker games...

…U-C-L-A Sucks!!!

Fight On!

Favored by 16?

I’d take the wolves on that bet. Either this game is close and the Lakers win by about 10 late in the 4th, or its a blowout and the taco unit lets the wolves chisel the lead down to about 10 :)

Yeah I agree either one is possible

but Lakers should win easily and let the bench figure things out at the end

I have actually kept pretty close track of the odds for the Lakers at home.

They tend to not cover the spread against bad teams (big odds) and beat the spread against good teams.

Well to be honest that tendency was mostly last season.

This season they are doing better against the bad teams.

I would say giving away tacos that cost about 10 cents to make.....

and then selling a coke for $1.75 that costs about 10 cents, makes it a pretty good deal for them. At least that’s the idea.

From Wikipedia

An avulsion fracture is a bone fracture which occurs when a fragment of bone tears away from the main mass of bone as a result of physical trauma. This can occur at the ligament due to the application forces external to the body (such as a fall or pull) or at the tendon due to a muscular contraction that is stronger than the forces holding the bone together. Generally muscular avulsion is prevented due to the neurological limitations placed on muscle contractions.

If the fracture is small, it is usually sufficient to treat with rest and support bandage, but in more severe cases surgery may be required. Ice may be used to relieve swelling.

by DexterFishmore on Dec 11, 2009 8:57 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

is it like a bone spur?

Leave Chad Billingsley alone!!!

by shaqfor3 on Dec 11, 2009 8:58 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

So I suppose it depends on the extent of the fracture

Knowing Kobe, he’ll wear tape or a splint and let it heal rather than get surgery.

He suffers a lot of the same problems Fish does

In terms of speed, although he’s generally more solid. And no, he’s a bad shooter. He’s awful at everywhere except the immediate basket area, where we don’t exactly need help at this point.

NBA hotspots is fairly definitive here. When you have masses of blue around the rim and 15-20 feet, you’re a bad shooter.

Shannon's averages outstrip him

In practically every shooting category, especially from three. Plus, Brown came into the league with a rep as a shooter; he’s simply fulfilling what was already there.

Sessions has indicated fairly strongly that he can’t shoot; not that he can’t improve, but for our immediate needs, that’s not changing quickly.

Don’t argue with him. His main argument is always that he’s “watched” the player more so than the person he’s arguing with. Before Oden went down with an injury, he told me that Oden was not getting into foul trouble, instead arguing that Nate preferred Pryz over Oden, which is why Greg wasn’t playing many minutes.

Then when I showed him the game logs which showed Oden was constantly in foul trouble – no response from him.

I’ve already seen it and I have no problem with it because sometimes the things people say on this website are outlandish and aren’t backed up by any specific examples or analysis. Calling someone out when they’re talking out of their ass, I have no problem with. That’s just me though. I dont speak for the whole website and tell others what to do, but I have no problem when someone calls someone else out when they’re obviously wrong. I wouldn’t mind if someone told me I was wrong either.

Thats just a difference of opinion between you and me. I’ve already noticed he does these things, but he wouldn’t be inclined to do so if people didn’t say things that are obviously not true.

If you ignored him for a “few weeks now” maybe you should just continue to ignore him for the whole duration of the time you spend on this website.

Instead of telling Ben to stop doing commenting in the manner he comments in, maybe you should be the one to just ignore and stop reading his comments.

Pavlovic is a 35.7% career FT shooter

And is shooting 27.3% from the line tonight. Not that surprising in that context.

Probably should be

Anyone with a FT% worse than Ben Wallace’s (42.0% career shooter) is just amazingly awful.

Good game Lakers

Watched LeBron play tonight too. He shot the most brikcish fall away in the last minutes of the game. Then came back with one of the nastiest blocks I’ve ever seen. FON… freak of nature.

Still doesn’t have game like Kobe though :P

In light of the team's final trip up north for the season. I thought we go down memory lane to look back at a classic game against the Warriors in Oakland. The day was April 20, 1999, yes the day of Columbine Massacre. Also, has anyone noticed that we have had a lot of classic games against the Warriors even though we have always assembled better teams than they did.?

Heres a new mix I made.

Kobe hasnt always been known as a clutch player. In game 5 of the 1997 Eastern Conference Semifinals, he missed a shot to win the game in the 4th quarter and 2 three-pointers to tie the game in the last minute of overtime, all of the shots being airballs. With that the Utah Jazz ended the playoffs for the Lakers in the 2nd round. Shaquille O'Neal commented years later that "Kobe was the only guy who had the guts at the time to take shots like that."

Ever since that horrible experience in his rookie year, Kobe has worked harder and has learned how to make those shots with the game on the line. This vid features some lines from Carmelo Anthony's Become Legendary commercial as well as some of Kobe's recent gamewinners.

Enjoy!
Kobe Game Winner vs Raptors - Whoa, I watched this and then I read the comments on Youtube claiming Kobe travelled, which I had not heard of. Then, after watching a few times, I have to say, I agree, Kobe changes his pivot foot before putting the ball down on the floor. I also think there's no way a ref catches that in real time, and even if they do, they can't be sure enough to call it then, either.
