whut?

[Doyers y Esleigher]

Carmelo was giftwrapped to the Knicks.

The Knicks are instantly better.

Good gaymz today.

Just read 4 pages of Bump saying dumb shit.

[TAPE]

Yea... INSTANTLY BETTER... lost 2 of the last 3 WOOOOHOOO ... INSTANT BETTERNESS

[Doyers y Esleigher]

What are you talking about? They won 2 of the last 3...

[TAPE]

Still lost to the Cavs.... GREATNESS..

the team still is not good and no they are not instantly better...

You said the Lakers were INSTANTLY better by signing Steve Blake and some other player who isn't doing shit... who was it again??

Yea, Lakers are doing much better too....

so.. yea...fuck what you think

[Sonny Cheeba]

The NBA is not like the NFL, with 53 man rosters, and where you need depth and whatnot....you are only as good as your top 2 or 3 players, and when 2 of those 3 guys are Wilson Chandler and Danilo Gallinari, you aren't winning SHIT!

If two of those three guys are Carmelo and Chauncey Billups, you have a chance. There's no fucking way they pull off that comeback last night without making the trade....who gives a fuck if they lost to Cleveland....the Raptors have beaten the Bulls and Celtics this year, OMFG those two teams suck!!!!!

[Doyers y Esleigher]

The Lakers' starters aren't getting nearly as many minutes as they did last year, so yes, I'd say signing some better bench players has served a purpose.

[TAPE]

^^ shut up... your team is garbage now..

[or24]

Instintlee bettuh amare even playing some defense since the trade

Sorry digm. Like actually sorry. That blows.

yeah i heard that. i had like 5% hope/faith that they'd stay, but that 5% is completely gone now.
i don't know what i'm going to do with my kings gear.

i want to go to the last home game to say "goodbye" but fuck giving the maloofs money. i dont know..i'm probably going to stop watching the NBA, to be honest with ya'll.

[Doyers y Esleigher]

The blame has to go 50-50. The fan base didn't come back after the early 00's team hit their ceiling and the Maloofs took that as a sign not to rebuild. Thing is, if they'd rebuilt, they probably would have earned the fans back.

In 2011, sports biz is all about emerging markets. OC is booming.

Keep it to pass down to your future offspring... throwback sports apparel is always dope even if you just at the gym or runbning to the store real quick....

It will def be sad times for you though wearing it anytime over the next 10 years or so.

yeah i don't blame the maloofs 100..it def is 50-50. sacramentans fucked up.

and yeah, the last game being against the lakers is fucked. i don't even know if i'd wear my kings shit to that game. real talk, i'd probably cry after the game, especially after a couple drinks.
i've been a fan of that team ever since i can remember.

[Jake]

That sucks Nook, sorry dude. My earliest memory of anything Raiders was when I was like 6 and Al moved to LA, my Uncles and Grandma just bashing some guy named Al Davis and how they were done with the Raiders etc.. The emotion amazed and intrigued me.

Keep your Kings stuff though man, if ya don't wanna look at it put it all in a box and stick it a corner somewhere. I can guarantee you won't regret it. Don't throw it away or burn it or anything crazy.

[Doyers y Esleigher]

Yeah but don't act like this is the end of a marriage. The bottom line is the bitch never loved you. The Maloofs lucked out with the 2000-2004 squads, but they didn't buy the Kings to build a winning team, they did it to own a cash cow. They were never going to win a title because it wasn't important to them.

Instead of cutting off your NBA watching, you can now concentrate on the league and all the great players, and not force yourself to watch B grade basketball while the Maloofs dangle the carrot of a competitive team in front of you. You have your pick of the litter in terms of a new team (if you're that desperate for a dog in the fight), just pick a city you like so you can actually visit once in awhile (in other words, Indiana, Oklahoma City, Cleveland and Milwaukee are off the table).

I mean, ever watched an NFL game between two teams that aren't the Raiders and realized how much better the football was? Try it with the NBA for awhile and see if you actually miss the Kings.

[TAPE]

eh, they were supposed to lose this game... Im glad they didnt win because the Blazers wouldnt have gotten credit for it anyway..

because of ALL NBA BYNUM

[Doyers y Esleigher]

Shut up, you lost to a better team, it's expected.

[TAPE]

Shut up, you lost to a better team, it's expected.

They hardly looked better last night....

They won the game...

[TAPE]

I guess I can't use #2 in a back to back as an excuse for losing to LA, in LA, by FOUR as an excuse, eh? Only Hill and Tor would do that tho.

The Lakers win most of their games by like 3-8 points, it's not typical of them to blow someone out, just have more points than the other team.

In other news... the New York Knicks...

New York since the Anthony trade 7-9 in a weaker East

Denver since the Anthony trade 10-4 in a stronger West...

INSTANTLY BETTER

They are missing Felton badly on both ends of the floor. I love how everyone blames Melo likes its his fault though. 6-3 against teams .500 or better. 2 of those losses were meltdowns(Boston, Orlando)

1 and fucking 6 against sub 500 teams. how do you lose to...
Milwaukee
Indiana(twice)
Cleveland(twice)
Detroit

[TAPE]

Blazers/Spurs... best finish to any game this season so far.

[Doyers y Esleigher]

The Knicks are still a lot better than before from a talent standpoint, their main issue now is D'Antoni sucks dicks.

[TAPE]

Melo is overrated

I like him, i rooted for him, but he needs to gtfo. I know his teams play no defense but how do you go through scoring droughts with this team?

Melo is overrated
Depends who you ask imo.

Some put him in the top 10 with amare lol

i put melo in the top 15 and amare probably top 20.

I think when you look at his value as a scorer he is hands down top 10 in the league...

But as far as what he brings to the table as a leader, he is just not going to make guys around him better. He isn't a leader in the same regard as other household names.

[Sonny Cheeba]

Well Drugz, looks like you and I are gonna have to start getting ovah this Lakers title they are about to win. With the Spurs slipping and losing home-court, it all but wraps it up.

Real "give a fuck" mode...You are in denial if you think that they didn't want to win this game bad.. 4 in a row and the Thunder on Sunday... You're lookin at 5.. Where's all the PLAYOFF FEVER PEDAL TO THE METALLL FUCK YAH!! talk now?

Great job by Bynum too... 3 points, 2 boards and a foul out against a team that didn't even have a Center last night....

Your team just isn't cutting it this year... They couldn't stop the fast break for shit they were totally outrun.. They are old and tired.


EDIT - Sorry, Bynum had 6 boards... he must have had a few garbage ones because he still had 2 a few minutes into the 4th quarter

[Doyers y Esleigher]

Go ahead and stroke your pud on ONE win vs the Lakers this year, and yes, ONE title (34 fucking years ago) in your team's entire existence.. Kudo's..

The title STILL runs through LA till it doesn't.. Whether that's this year or next or the year after that...

But reason #1a was the officiating...

19-2 FT disparity for the Mavs in the 4th???

Come the fuck on...

It isn't like the Mavs were getting rewarded for being more aggressive and attacking the rim, they weren't. The Blazers only outscored them in the paint 46-18 for the game and 24-9 in the 2nd half.

Joe Lacob sees Bob Myers as future GM

OAKLAND, Calif. -- New Golden State Warriors co-owner Joe Lacob knows how he wants his management and basketball operations staff structured for the future, and he has moved swiftly this offseason to put them in place.

His coach is another matter.

Lacob said Friday that his plan is to have new assistant general manager Bob Myers succeed GM Larry Riley in the next few seasons. Myers, a longtime NBA agent, was hired a day earlier.

[Dmac2thehouse]

Maybe because the Grizz lost on purpose down the stretch to face the Spurs and not the Lake show

[Sonny Cheeba]

They dont reseed in the NBA. So regardless of who won the winner of the Spurs vs Grizzlies was going to face the winning of the Thunder vs Nuggets. The winner of the Lakers vs Hornets woud face the winner Mavericks vs Trailblazers. The only thing the seeds determine after rd 1 is home court for each series.

During a one hour period Wednesday night, Magic Johnson tweeted the following:

-- “I have never seen a team take it to the Lakers at home in back-to-back playoff games.”

-- “I was surprised the Lakers didn't come out w/more intensity & better execution. Dallas is doing a tremendous job keeping them off balance.”

-- “The Mavs have the Lakers pointing fingers at one another. It's going to be a tough climb to come back and I think their chances are slim.”

-- “Both Miami and Dallas are playing head and shoulders above the rest right now.”

Can't say I disagree with him...Lakers are playing like a bunch of pee pee panties.

So, the Kings aren't leaving the Sac afterall? Mayor KJ saved the day? Wha happint?

KJ saved the day for at least a year. there is a very strong group Taylor/ICON (they've built a couple of stadiums in the country) leading the way for plans for a new arena in sac. if there are no feasible concrete plans by the end of the year, maloofs have free reign to GTFO of town if they want to pretty much.

I see. Well, it's a step in the right direction if nothing else.

[Tió Nook Nook]

yeah, i'm feelin good (not super good, but good..) about the chances of the taylor/ICON group doing something for the ppl of sac, they have an excellent track record.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- One of the most respected executives in the NBA is joining one of its most challenged franchises.

The Golden State Warriors hired Jerry West on Friday to work with the front-office team in an advisory role and be a member of the executive board. West will assist the basketball operations staff and the business arm of the team, reporting directly to new owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber.

"His accomplishments in this business as both a player and executive are almost beyond comprehension and certainly well-documented," Lacob said. "He's simply a winner and, quite honestly, you can never have too many of those in your organization."

The Hall of Famer was a 14-time All-Star with the Los Angeles Lakers and the inspiration for the NBA's logo. He also spent 18 seasons as the Lakers' general manager and five years in Memphis' front office, rebuilding both franchises from the foundation.

West will be part of a new staff charged with leading the Warriors back to the playoffs after making the postseason only once since 1994. Golden State is also searching for a new coach after Keith Smart's contract was not renewed.

West's responsibilities also will include sponsorship and marketing endeavors. He will still live in his Los Angeles-area residence but will travel to the Bay Area frequently.

"I'm really pleased that we were able to add someone the caliber of Jerry West to our organization," Guber said. "He has earned great respect in all circles, including the entire entertainment field, and his business savvy will serve us well and prove invaluable. Overall, his career has been nothing short of remarkable and his name alone has become synonymous with winning and success."

The addition of West is the latest move in Golden State's front-office shake-up.

The new owners, who bought the franchise for a record $450 million from longtime owner Chris Cohan early last season, hired agent Bob Myers in April to be the assistant general manager and GM in waiting. They kept general manager Larry Riley but decided not to retain Smart.

Golden State is looking for a new coach. Former Cleveland coach Mike Brown, Lakers assistant Brian Shaw, Celtics assistant Lawrence Frank and Dallas assistant Dwane Casey are among the top candidates.

West will be only an adviser on decisions and won't play the role of general manager, where he has previously flourished. While he was at the helm in the front office, the Lakers won four titles and the Grizzlies made their only three playoff appearances until this season.

West was voted NBA executive of the year in 1995 and 2004. The Warriors were planning to formally introduce West at the team's headquarters Tuesday.

West said in a statement that joining Golden State was appealing because it gives him the opportunity to remain a part of the game and contribute to an organization in a variety of roles.

"I'm excited about this opportunity and, quite frankly, humbled that the new ownership group with the Warriors inquired about my interest in joining the organization in this capacity," West said. "I've had the good fortune to work for two wonderful owners, Dr. Jerry Buss and Michael Heisley, as an executive and I know that you must have a commitment at the top to succeed.

"I sense that is certainly the case with the Warriors or I would not have made this decision."

lmao...the dynasty unraveling is GREAT....

alll we need now is Lebron to win that ring to officially put a fork in the Kobe Era.

[Sonny Cheeba]

^^ It's the changing of the shit-guard in the NBA. The Lakers Celtics and Spurs just had their windows slam shut, and the Mavs would have MAYBE another title run left in them. The current crop of contenders figure to be around for a while, and this lockout should be interesting because there will be less max money mega deals, which is a good thing.

And fuck that loser mug Westbitch on OKC....sometimes you gotta know your role and fall back....he's the PG and second fiddle to Durant (or even 3rd fiddle when Harden is on like last night), but his azz is taking 30 shots? Laffable....then of course he walks off the court without shaking hands with anyone.

[TAPE]

Durant is a bitch too though... and Westbrook definitely ain't second fiddle to Harden man...come on

[Sonny Cheeba]

Of course not, but the circumstances should dictate. Westbrook was fuckin 11-28 from the field no need to keep forcing shots instead of running the offense which is what his job is. It's not like Derrick Rose who HAS to be the focal point because nobody else is reliable enough.

[Big Game Geoff]

I'm surprised anyone knew who Mr. Potatohead was...

[Big Game Geoff]

I'm still dazzle and confuse at the intent of Jim Buss. Brown has my full SUPPORT though.

GO LAKERS!..

[TAPE]

Yeah but at least there was a "Kobe era," and it ended more successfully than the "Brandon Roy minute."

I'm using "Kobe Era" relatively here... we all know Kobe won 3 under the SHAQ ERA..and had to compete with the TIM DUNCAN ERA..

he never was head and shoulders above the league like some other legends...

So, enjoy the novelty... You had a great player..

[Doyers y Esleigher]

We had ANOTHER great player, to add to the list of great players that have worn purple and gold, all of whom were better and more successful than Drexler or Walton.

lol yo and anybody who denies Lebron being a top TWO defensive player in the league after watching him shut Derrick Rose down needs their head checked..

Lebron is probably the most amazing skill set the NBA has ever seen, period.

Lebron is a once in a decade player, no doubt. You're starting to sound like a nut-hanger though. GOI...

[TAPE]

I think he is more than a once and a decade player... what he has done in the playoffs this year is nothing short of amazing, on both sides of that ball...

And I hope people notice that Lebron isn't getting calls, lol... Makes it that much more incredible.

When Joakim Noah was mugging the shit out of Lebron all series it was bad enough...but when Lebron got mugged and still dropped the bucket and they panned in on him and he was like "I don't even need the foul" ....priceless.

Lebron ain't a diva.

[Sonny Cheeba]

This has all been pretty amazing considering what happened during the season. The Heat couldn't close out ANYONE and kept losing all those close games, to the point that almost nobody could take them seriously as a legit championship threat. But the way they've played all playoffs long in the final minutes, throwing it into 6th gear and running teams outta the building is fucking incredible.

[Lil Joker]

Lebron was ballin yesterday, but that missed traveling call in the first quarter was questionable AT BEST;

[Bullshit Tracker]

If the Mavericks score more points than the Heat, they will be tough to beat.

I don't know why but I agree. Maybe because it rhymes?

Kobe accused of injuring man at church

Police in San Diego were working Tuesday to gather information from churchgoers who witnessed an alleged altercation between Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant and a fellow parishioner, the Los Angeles Times reported.

According to reports, a man claimed he was injured during an exchange with Bryant at Sunday mass after the Lakers guard thought he spotted the man taking pictures of him on his cell phone.
