Except the Lakers have the risible Bryant.

Also of note, Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni is out in NYC. This spells the official end of Linsanity.
When Lin blew up, it sort of bailed him out. But it backfired since Linsanity was in full effect and he couldn't be benched...

It forced Stoudamire and Melo to play defense and watch Lin shoot what would have been their shots instead...

Please let Phil Jackson roll in and build this team up! I love having a team everyone loves to hate in NY. Now, save the brief Linsanity era, they are just the team everyone hates to watch.

Remember Van Gundy holding onto Alonzo Mourning's leg while John Starks threw punches to keep Heat players away from Patrick Ewing? Good times...

The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their own ability as above average.

The biggest moves the Lakers made were getting rid of cap space (Luke Walton) and old people (D Fish). The additions were not that spectacular. Sessions is meh at best and he will have to adjust to a play maker and not someone making shots.

I don't remember referring to the additions as spectacular. I think I pretty much noted that getting rid of two worthless bench players and Derek Fisher were the highlights of the trades.

Even if the additions only contribute in a nominal way, it's still an improvement. I understand the blind hate... that's all gucci, but the irrationality is something I'm having a hard time understanding.

If you're not creepin', you're not trying...

I wasn't speaking to you directly. Just saying "you" as in Laker fans.

The Lakers are dropping games like sponsors dropped Tiger Woods two years ago.

And we have the last game (tiebreaker) this week. We are going to win and win the division

I'm unemployed and bored. I respond to all posts on all threads.

With that said I had to look up the standings to have any idea where anyone was.
Is it the playoffs yet?

Surreal moment, Stan Van Gundy informed the media that management told him D. Howard wants him fired. Moments later Howard comes and gives SVG a hug not knowing what he just said. Afterwards media tell Howard why he wants SVG fired? Howard asks media to give him their source, um, it was your coach. Wow.
