Didn't Grizzly great Bryon Scott retire a Laker?

yep

yep

Technically, no. He played in Europe after that.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

This guy is a bonafide heat hater....Good walkthrough plays tho and he has a point. Too bad if they beat heat, ain't no way they beat okc/spurs.

He's alright. He did a good breakdown of why the Heat got beat last year.

Only problem I have with him is said that Lin and Barea could be 'the next Steve Nash' when they were on their respective hot streaks (Barea in PO, Lin this year).

 

[Emwitus]

I didn't get to comment on the DFish stuff since I was stuck at meetings at work all day in a room with the WORST fucking cell coverage and no wifi, but ii'll just say that while it's sad to see Fish go, it's something that had to happen. He was a great Laker, but I won't feel bad that he won't get to end his career here. Neither did Horry. Neither did Byron Scott. He's in that class of Lakers. He's not up there with the likes of Kobe, Magic, Shaq, Worthy, Kareem, ect... One group has their jerseys hanging in the rafters and the other doesn't.

So you don't think they'll retire fisher's jersey? Mind you he has contributions on and off the court that are pretty significant to not only the lakers?

He reneged that claim on Jeremy Lin lulz

Vinny Del Negro is an atrocious coach. The offense is so simple and nobody on the team gives a fuck about defense. At least Mike Brown gets his players to defend.

Only a guy like Sterling would hire a coach as inept as Del Negro.

 

[Cloudy]

Is it too early for a Del Negro Watch?

 

[StickSoldier]

Billups was the coach. The Clips have no chance without him.

 

[pilonv1]

About 2 months too late

 

[Omzz]

man, the Clipper homer Mike Smith complains that Griffin is tired during every game.

So annoying. Always with the excuse.

they also praised del negro of how good of a coach he is. one of the worst homer commentators ive seen

Baylor, Goodrich, Magic, Wilt, Kareem, West, Worthy, soon to be Shaq and eventually Kobe.

Fisher doesn't belong to that list man.

I bet you they do......Like i said, the reason for retirement won't be just basketball reasons lol. You can quote me on this later. Oh and he has five rings.

It never gets old. LOL.

Btw, that warriors lineup... wow

Adonal Foyle
Mike Dunleavy
Jason Richardson
Baron Davis
Derek Fisher

Jeez this team has sucked for so fucking long.

 

[Black Mamba]

The Clippers players have locked themselves in the lockerroom and are having a players' only meeting for like 50 minutes.

DISSENSION!!!

 

[ratcliffja]

The Clippers players have locked themselves in the lockerroom and are having a players' owners meeting for like 50 minutes.

DISSENSION!!!

Dan Gilbert is that you?

They are gonna Felton VDN!! lets go!!!

 

[Jonm1010]

It's amusing to see how drastically the tune has changed on billups since the beginning of the season.

From past his prime asshole chucker to the pivotal cog in the machine that is required to make the thing work.

Sterling will go back to money saving mode sooner or later.

 

[Black Mamba]

i meant players "only" meeting. My bad.

I've always believed in Billups.

Kevin Arnovitz ‏ @kevinarnovitz
Clippers game has been over now for 1 hour officially. Locker room still closed.

Oh shit

 

[Red Blaster]

The effects of a players only meeting last for about 5 games max.

 

[Jonm1010]

I don't know.....if thing keep on this path, I wonder if Chris Paul will want to stick it out with this spiraling team?

.........feels good not being the lone person defending him anymore.

 

[Jonm1010]

I've always believed in Billups.

You were the exception my friend, you were the exception.

Lakers don't retire role players numbers. Even Gasol needs a few more years and he was the number 2 on 2 title teams. Fish ain't getting shit. He'll get a bobble head night or something but that's the most. Lakers have higher standards when it comes to that than the LOLtics or Heat.

 

[MidnightCowboy]

The players murdered Vinny and are figuring out a way to hide it.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Somebody needs to teach these fucks how to box out and rebound. Fucking Clips. Breaking my heart like like the green mile.

 

[Black Mamba]

Nope. Vinny left the lockerroom a long time ago after chewing them out for playing "as individuals," according to reports.

Players only in there.

edit: meeting over!

Ok i lulzed

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Also I played basketball tonight and I got dunked on. HARD. First time that's ever happened. And someone on the other team was videotaping it. Now I know why Lebron had the tape confiscated.

What are your expectations for Ramon Sessions as a Laker? Stats, impact, star-status etc.

Let's have it all in a thread we can easily come back to before he becomes an perennial Allstar playing in a backcourt with Kobe and folks say they knew it all along (Gasol effect lol)

I feel he will be in the Allstar game next year if the Lakers have a top seed. People are going to see how much of a bum Fisher was for playing that poorly starting with Kobe, Bynum and Pau

You will see 3s and penetration from Sessions. That's all the Lakers need from him.

Sessions confirmed to be worse than Fisher.

I WANT ARIZA AND SHANNON BACK DAMN IT

The 09 team was so fun. 2010 was probably more satisfying since we got our revenge tour, but 09 was just fun.

Oh my...

Sources tell me that Ramon Sessions just spontaneously combusted. More as it develops

I hope Mo Gotti kicked his ass.

Edit: But for real, wow, things could get ugly with this team. Seems like the ship is sinking.

Those 2 wins in Cleveland and Boston in '09 regular season were soooooo good.

And the Christmas revenge game on Boston.

That team played with fire. Well, until they saw Houston and had to be woken up.

I want to believe Martin was somehow involved.

Damn shame though. So many names would be up there.

can we get the source of that altercation claim, cloudy?

I wanna believe that Griffin tried to be the peacemaker in all of this.

You bitching out AGAIN?

Whadda you want Van Exel and Terry Teagle in the Rafters? Shoot let's add Sedale Threat while were at it!
