3 games. 3 nights.

And I watched the game, as well as the two the following two nights. I like the T-Wolves. I want them to make the playoffs.

Doing what I do? You mean adding relevant information? Sure.

It's not like they had the biggest break of the season just prior to that game. 6 days off...

oh wait...Rubio expended himself in the rising stars challenge...my apologies...

Right. 3 games in 3 nights is easy and nothing for a good coach to have on the radar, because they had a break first. It's not like we've seen any exhausted players and players going down with injuries this year.... wait

Your stance is wackidy wack but atleast you have one. They had 6 days off and the game was on the line. Barea was playing a great game.

It wouldn't be a crazy idea to start him... esp if the Knicks end up looking at CHI or MIA in the 1st round.

As long as Lin gets his minutes people will be happy. Maybe you play Baron and Lin together for some stretches too.

Right on. I had this argument with a couple of my buddies (hate when they think they know more than me). It's no question Baron should start come playoff time. But even if he doesn't, the important thing is for him to end games. That's what really matters. Playoff basketball is a different game, plain and simple. I don't think Lin performs particularly well against many playoff teams over a 7-game series.

When did the Lakers sign Zorro?

it wouldn't matter who they start if melo and amare don't turn it around....
melo scored 6 points on 2-12 shooting and they were down 3 at one point with 4 minutes left. nyk is such a mess....

**Ball Don't Lie** · 03-07-2012, 12:41 PM

Melo is missing shots he usually makes too. His midrange game is completely off right now and that's the most dangerous part of his game. Amare can remain as the 3rd option who only gets shots off other people if Melo starts scoring and it'll work IMO. But Melo has been way off this year.

LX · 03-07-2012, 02:25 PM

I've heard a lot of talk about Lin starting and Baron finishing, but I've always thought the end of games is where Lin has been the best, and that he's been pretty atrocious in first quarters.

LX · 03-07-2012, 09:01 PM

Lakers have blown a 20 point lead to the wizards!

holy shit the knicks suck

LX · 03-07-2012, 09:32 PM

And the lakers lose, in spite of a huge FT advantage. Kobe 9 for 30. Love it.

Booker with 17 boards. Blatche - that incredible stud that was supposedly better than Bosh - played all of 5 minutes.

Someguy again · 03-07-2012, 09:41 PM

please lin, demand a trade so i can stop cheering against you

LX · 03-07-2012, 09:50 PM

Haslem hit a big 18 footer late in tonight's game. Of course Wade made the pass.

TORaptor4Ever · 03-07-2012, 10:16 PM

It's really hard to take Kobe seriously (the idea that he's the best in the game or a top 10 player all-time) when he does stupid shit like this.

WAS boasts McGee and Booker down low while you have Pau and Bynum.... and you take 31 shots ??

Inexcusable. He seems more concerned with stat-padding now than winning.

After reading Shaqs book I feel as if I know almost everything about Kobe. The guy wants to win. He probably has more of a winning mentality then anyone in the game. The problem is he wants to be "the guy" every game they play. The ego is the problem.

Bynum was 6-8 the entire game. Now I know how Shaq felt like in those years in LA. I just don't think Bynum and Gasol have the balls to confront Kobe and tell him to pass the fucken ball.

kobes ego is a double edged sword for the lakers. sometimes his cold ass attitude brings the lakers to new heights every season, and makes him such a joy to watch. other times.. well they sorta look like tonight.

Durant, Westbrook, and Harden almost have 30 points each and Ibaka with a 18 and 20
