: It's a comic book film re at least the fist two Spidermans, LA gets the treatment in Iron Man, somet imes one thinks too much on those things,
: can you believe that people were calling the Lakers an underdog against the Thunder?
: What's that? Baseball?: it most def ain't baseball the way Artest plays it. my twin nephews played on a pretty serious rugby team until one of them needed a rather extensive facial reconstruction.....happily everyone can now tell them apart ......and somehow it puts me in mind of Ronny.... who a few minutes ago, put an elbow unto Harden's face as he dragged him to the ground.: btw, how often does a Nicks or Lakers player, come down with
abdominal strain,: Heck, miggs, that's so minor compared to this.........

Everybody likes him here and he’s got plenty left…..It’s just that he drives you crazy because he has no ability to focus, he doesn’t know where the ball’s going because he doesn’t know what he’s doing because he has no clear idea of who he is or where he is.
Best thing for him is to pitch in a very large ballpark with very few people around.
The Pirates seem ideal.
(and Bobby was shot when we got shut of him.)
I imagine you looking into a glass of rice milk-charcoal and being consumed.
Wow, this AJ guy sounds like he should be my favorite player. I can toadly support his de-centered pseudo-identity. That’s how baseball makes me feel, too.
support AJ now because he’s soon going to be the arteest formerly none as AJ.
soon, his name is Nobody New
So it was a good thing for both teams. Can’t imagine anyone but the Yanks have the money and nostalgic interest in Bobby to take him off our hands.
we dont really want him, but need a left-handed, part-time DH.
got turned down on the guy we asked the Pirates to send, got turned down by the Indians re Travis Hafner.

Looks like a possibility – I’ve got this one on my list for mainstream fiction: The Fear Index
But am stuck in another political philosophy book right now.
acetone, a fat cigar and a snifter of brandy should loosen you up.
Frog–looks like you’re going to get JR Smith. I’m kind of disappointed actually that the Clips lost out on him. I have a fondness for crazoids. Must be the Universe balancing things out. Some sanity comes into NY, and then some sanity goes out.
It’s odd how we can come up with a dozen reasons to come to the FSA’s aid, but there really wasn’t an argument offered to prevent Bel Hadj and Company.

do we want JRSmith? seems the Clips anted him more, and promised him that he would be in the starting 5
heard the Knicks were able to guarantee him more money. I do not understand the details. Question is still whether it’s all gonna be Marshmelo or Harshmellow down the line.
esp when the Knicks hit a difficult patch in their schedule.
‘More human than human’ that is the Tyrell Corporation motto for the Nexus 6,
you mean a stretch where they might actually -gasp- lose a game? two?
you think that players will be driven to tears and beyond?
from the one game that I saw, the Nix are going to be far better off with Anthony back and they play Lin a few less minutes. When Lin went out, they reverted to having no one able to dribble and draw a double. Anthony does and will get all the ball and shots he requires then and a bunch of easier shots from Lin.
Potential problem is whether he plays some fairly energetic D.
Just speculating on potential problems, but, if I were a Knicks fan, I’d be overjoyed and enthusiastically looking forward to seeing them all try to make it work taking it further than they should. They went from impending-trainwreck to majorly-worth-watching almost overnight. I’d definitely root for them over the Clippers… but, then again, there’s no one I wouldn’t root for against the Clippers… OK, I’m toadly ready to jump on their bandwagon, esp. if I see buy-in from Mememelo and Stoudemire, and even if Lin turns out to be closer to average than to Chris Paul.
Potential problem is whether he plays some fairly energetic D.
Sorry, not in this life-time. Doesn’t know how. In my opinion, defense requires a kind of focused brain power that you either have or don’t have. Everyone believes that d is about motivation. Not me. I think offense is about motivation. Are you motivated to execute what you’re trying to execute as a team–whatever that is. D is coachable to an extent, but only because great defensive coaches have an eye and an instinct to find and work with players who already have a defensive mentality.
Other question is the other D: Antoni.
Scott, with my own little beady eyes, I saw Anthony play D in a Knicks game once……and he played it damn well……with two D-playing guards and a pretty good defensive center behind him, he wouldn’t have to exactly kill himself guarding a wing.
“there’s something crazily sad about almost the entire squad” The Lakers as the anti-Knicks at the Lin moment http://es.pn/xBothQ
(that’s a really nicely done article, btw)
Frog: Well, you right about the rice w saffron, and I do like the positivity, so, ok, let’s go with the idea that there’s a possibility. Go Marshmellow! I know my chant needs a little help.
“That’s a nicely done article, btw.” Ya think? As in it’s fucking great. I know you like to be all cool with your eastern hommies here, CK, and you do get credit for posting it, but come on. Give the writer the love he deservers. “Kobe’s relentlessness has always been his most celebrated quality, but this season, he’s starting to remind me of one of those space probes that somehow keep feeding back data even after they’ve gone out twice as far as the zone where they were supposed to break down.” That’s great stuff and completely right on. Then he describes how Bynum and Gasol are just staying out of Kobe’s way perfectly. It’s a phenomenon. I’ve never seen anything like it, so it’s perfect that the writer goes all sci-fi. Perfect. If it weren’t for me ADD issues I’d try to find out his name and maybe even remember it.
well, like I said it was a REALLY nicely done article. Funny, imaginative, illuminating, captured the current moment in Lakerdom perfectly and comprehensively, yet economically. The only improvement might have been a grotesquely sadistic psycho-fantasia from the point of view of a Laker fan on David Stern, but you can’t have everything, and it might not have made it to publication anyway. So, within the bounds of acceptable taste, it was terrific. Brian Phillips is the writer’s name.

and it trod very delicately upon the rather obvious question of how in the name of hell could the Lakers NOT have ditched Fisher when they scrapped the triangle.
do the emotive West-coast have the will to pass a hint?
dude… they blew up the team trying to get replacement…
I guess you could say they aimed too high – they also used both draft choices on guards… anyway I think they were and are conscious of the need…
The Nix are coming back on the Hornies … (figures they’d play the Hornies now, are the Generals also coming up?)
they could have picked up a point guard from half a dozen available free agents to replace Derek.
having Fisher on the floor guarantees that the offense goes through Kobe.
If Fisher is playing more than half the game at the point, my guess is that Bryant leads the team in assists.
Bryant leads the team in assists, I believe irrespective of Fish’s mins. He led the team last year, too.
Nice one, CK, about the “Generals.”
Frog: One of the strongly believed myths in Laker land is that Kobe respects Fish and so Fish is invaluable as the only person Kobe will actually listen to. I have a whole other narrative. I believe Fish is actually a very self-conscious, nervous, prone to making mistakes kind of guy and always has been. I never believed that he believed in himself. He got a couple of lucky clutch shots and everyone assumed that meant he believed in himself and Fish wanted to believe what everyone else believed because he had no personal belief. Funny phenomenon playing out sadly in the end.
Actually, no one could do anything, even talk, until the lockout was over. They then put on a full-court press to get Paul. They actually did get Paul, in a way. It’s the Lakers. They may give Arenas a try, but they’re looking to the post-Kobe Era and may make a big try to get Deron Williams… if it’s OK with Stern.
Fish is a good announcer though – filled in one night when Chick was sick and Stu did play by play, and was great. Will probably instead make a zillion in business or maybe the front office.
Again, I like the positivity, so…Go Fish! And what happens tends to keep happening and since Fish has defied the energetic reality of his personal sense of self in a way that rarely happens, it could keep happening in ways that work out for him.
Bryant would always lead the team in assists under Phil’s offense….when Big Chief Triangle folded up the teepee and left town, one would expect that a point guard would have entered and the ball would go from the PG into the post, where the Lakers have two guys who each should get 18ppg.
Scott, I think that I would not bank on Bryant’s having too much respect for any body at all.
Knicks now ready to send the Lakers BOTH Baron Davis and Mike Bibby for Gasol alone!
would give the Lakers great young legs ahead of Fisher and give the Knicks a good bench player…… but the slaries probably wouldn’t work out..
Yeah probly not. Darn. Hey is “the Nix” a tabloid thing or your own creation? I like it. Would be a great actual team name. Could play in deep black uniforms… not sure about the team symbol – maybe the Null Set…
Don’t be mean, Frog. You know the Knicks would have to throw in Lin in the deal. And as far as Kobe, the greatest player in history, is concerned. You’re right, it played right into his hands for his PG to be a guy people thought he respected. He didn’t really. He likes Fish. That’s different. No one with an ego the size of Kobe’s is going to have a sidekick he really respects. Kobe knew Fish got lucky and never really believed in himself. That’s why he didn’t trust him. Now that I’ve seen Paul, I don’t think he has the confidence to play with Kobe every day either. He’s just fragile enough to cave to Kobe too. Things worked out as they needed to. Another reason I was interested in JR being a Clipper. Paul interacting with JR is more of a fair match than Paul interacting with Kobe. Paul might have helped JR get healthy, feeding him rice and saffron regularly.
I don’t remember ever reading it anywhere, but Nix seems too obvious for no on e to have used prior to moi.
it’s the NBA Scott, they can afford to snort saffron ….which, in former times in NYC, cost more than coca.
NY “Nix” search turns up the Knicks… NY NIXX is a Hip-Hop artist… there’s a sports bar in Pensacola called New York Nick’s.
