The Official Los Angeles Lakers thread
Citizen-Y:
Instead of hating on Wade and LeBron, maybe you should focus your hate on Kobe Bryant's pathetic supporting cast. Every superstar needs a reliable second scoring option and one hasn't emerged yet in LA.

every1s gotta contribute if u want to be a championship caliber team. not just 1 or 2 superstars. look at the rockets, they have yao and t-mac but they need other players to contribute as well. 2 primary scorers wont win u the title. the whole team must contribute. depth is the key to championships

--- Quote ---Inside Dish: Fans flock to see Kobe and the Lakers
By Dave D'Alessandro - SportingNews
When does a mediocre team become the best draw in the NBA? When it has SG Kobe Bryant on it. Through last weekend, the Lakers were the highest-drawing road team in the league with more than 18,800 fans per game. Next in line are the Heat, Cavs, Pistons and Spurs. . . .
Here's the worst part about being both a coach and G.M. this time of year: Bernie Bickerstaff, whose Bobcats probably will get the most pingpong balls in the May lottery, had a schedule last week that covered Salt Lake City (to see SF Adam Morrison), Dallas (to see C LaMarcus Aldridge), Charlotte (home game) and Philadelphia (to see SF Rudy Gay) in four consecutive days. . . .
Rockets SF Tracy McGrady's season, which some thought would include a run at the MVP award, probably is over after 47 games. The back problem will shelve him for five weeks, and he doesn't see the point of returning with a few games left in the season. Entering the week, the Rockets were 2-16 without him this season and still sliding. . . .
The weirdest collaboration since Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach? Nuggets SF Carmelo Anthony has decided to sponsor an IndyCar Series driver, and his partner in the project is KISS bass player Gene Simmons. . . .
Rick Brunson, playing third-string point guard for the Rockets these days, has put his name in the running for the coaching vacancy at his alma mater, Temple. . . .
You recall that ugly relationship Celtics SF Paul Pierce had with George Karl during the 2002 World Championships? Long forgotten. Pierce, whom Karl had depicted as a selfish player during that awful tournament, says he has the utmost respect for Karl, who can't stop gushing over Pierce; he calls him one of the most complete basketball players in the NBA. . . .
This is the kind of stuff Suns PG Steve Nash doesn't want publicized: He recently built a pediatric cardiology ward at a hospital in Paraguay, where his wife is from. . . .
Heat C Alonzo Mourning became the most tenured player in team history last week with game No. 487 in a Miami uniform, one more than Keith Askins. Zo says the countdown to SG Dwyane Wade blowing past him already has begun. . . .
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich's top two choices for MVP, in no particular order, are Nash and Mavericks SF Dirk Nowitzki. He mentions Clippers PF Elton Brand, Pistons PG Chauncey Billups and Bryant as the runners-up. . . .
Nets PG Jason Kidd, who turns 33 this week, had an impressive back-to-back road stint last week: his 73rd career triple double (fourth all-time) one night after coming one assist shy of a triple double. He's getting used to missing by a whisker: He has missed a trip dub by a single digit in the box score 44 times in his career, including four times this season.

What's so funny? Are you retarded?...Lakers shot 0 free throws by the half in todays game. What's even more scary is that they had a lot more points in the paint than the Celtics by that point...Stu Lantz said about Kobe today "I have never EVER seen a superstar get as many no-calls as Kobe"... Laker fans complaining about officiating? You got that right, moron...
