lakers should just start fouling so nash doesn't get the record

 

[The Frankman]

Smush Parker is so worthless not even Tom Brady could rehabilitate him.

Smoosh should drop Nash with a Raja Headlock as his last great Laker play.

Smoosh should drop Nash with a Raja Headlock as his only great Laker play.

Magic is spinning in his grave!

Jesus. Magic Johnson is ****ing huge. At least wear a shirt that fits, fatty.

 

[The Frankman]

Magic should drop Nash with a flying kick to the back of his knee as his last great Laker play.

Fixed again.

No he's sucking off Nash on tv :lol

The best part of all this is how the Lakers had a chance to take Leandro Barbosa in the draft.

In fact, Ron Harper scouted him and advised the organization to take him.

Who did the Lakers draft instead?

 

[woodchuck]

damn. that odom miss was big. on the next possession, suns will hit a 3

OMFG I did not know that. Jesus Christ that's as bad as Texans picking Mario over Bush.

Yea, but Barbosa benefited highly from D'Antoni's system and Steve Nash being around to teach him a few things. I honestly believe Barbosa wouldn't be as good as he is right now if he was on another team.

Shammond Williams wants a job next year.

did i mention Smush is worthless?

Smush who?

 

[jordan0386]

Whats with the idea of being a human, being capable of planting your feet, THEN NOT PLAYING ANY DEFENSE

Why should you live?

You can't teach quick.

 

[drohne]

well, smush parker's nba career may be over, but at least he managed to **** leandro barbosa

 

[reilo]

lol.

Quickness isn't what basketball is all about.

It reminds of this article I read in the ROY discussion, where one writer said that Tyrus Thomas should be considered ROY because he is a better athlete than Brandon Roy.

Apparently athleticism means you are a better basketball player, right?

 

[DMczaf]

Smush Parker, King of Worthless Layups at the end of games.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Barbosa was very raw when he first came out. Not that i still wouldn't want him over Cook, but you can't project how guys will develop from one team to another.

 

[Gigglepoo]

that's as bad as Texans picking Mario over Bush.

No

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Barbosa blowing by defenders and getting uncontested lay-ups all season long says otherwise.

I think he would thrive wherever he goes.

But yes, I wil agree that D'Antoni's system does help.

It's hard saying "we should have picked this guy over this guy" when they are both in the 2nd round. Monta Ellis was probably the 3rd best guard in his draft, but he fell to the 2nd (Chris Paul, Deron Williams).

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Ok. Mitch Richmond scouted Monta Ellis and told the Warriors, "We need to get Monta Ellis."

Do you know who the Warriors took?

Did you watch Barbosa play when he came to the league? He was (as someone else said) very raw, and some pundits (not me) even called him a bust by after his second year.

The only thing I said originally was the Lakers were advised to take Barbosa and they passed for Cook.

Yea. And 12 teams picked somebody else over Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash in the draft in 1996.

Touche.

Good point, but kinda weird to pick the most stacked draft ever, where there could be some argument(ala if Philly could go back would they have took AI or Kobe?). I would've said 30 teams picked somebody else over Arenas in'01 is probably the best example.

Bargnani starting tonight, hope this helps ignite the team.

 

[Mrbob]

Ok that alley oop reverse dunk was sweet.

 

[Steriletom]

This is hard to watch.

 

[Kangu]

Toronto just giving up or what? Looks like it from the boxscore. I'm all for favorites getting trampled, but not when it's the poor Raptors.

Half Man Half Season came to play.

 

[The Interrobanger]

Oh Raptors...*shakes head*

 

[woodchuck]

ouch toronto. ouch

 

[Master Z]

Raptors are officially the shittiest team in the playoffs. Yup. Even the B and C squads from Washington are playing better. Is it too late to take Sam Mitchell's COTY trophy back?
