Big game. Should be good.

This is going to be a good one against what I feel are 2 of the top 3 teams in the
East West. :-[
-
Fuck the Mavs. 8)
-
Both teams are playing like crap ...
-
kobe is shooting like a ho, how the hell are you going to play through the playoffs with that fucked up pinky? that shit is gonna kill us
-
^Really? Cause he's destroying the Mavs in the 4th quarter.
-
Dirk :laugh:
-
WHAT THE FUCK?! Tell me we did not just give Dirk a wide open 3 then let Kidd steal the ball before Kobe could go for the winner! Ugh and all of this after that great defensive sequence!

LOL. Odom is trash sometimes, wow. Misses those 2 F.T, what if Kobe didn't get the o-board? and then the turnover :-\

Dirk Stepped Up BIG for Dallas.
I Just Gained a new Respect For Him.
Cuban Should Change The Name Of His franchise To The Dallas "Dirks"
And Kobe, well....Nuff Said
Great Game.

KOBE > YOUR FAV TEAM 8)
-
Talk about gut-wrenching. 42-18. So we already tied our total wins from last season and its just March :o
-
Someone needs to mail a videotape of this game to the voters of the MVP award.

*whew* what a win...

^LMAO, I thought I was the only one that noticed that. I was like 'WTF, you should be pissed as hell.' But at least they still got the W. 8)

Kobe ends the game with 15 straight free throws. He needs to teach something to Lamar Odom. He folded like a tent when it came to free throws and guarding Drik. He got raped in the 4th quarter.

Odom can't guard Dirk...never could. This game just shows how good we'll be when Bynum gets back. No way in fuckin hell would Drew let Dampier get 16/17. And Gasol would be much better when matched up against Nowitzki. I just don't know why he was missing all those fuckin layups, dude was lookin like Kwame Gasol for a minute.
-
What is it about the Mavs that brings out the beast in Kobe? Entering the game he was averaging 35ppg in the last 12 games and now he goes for 52. I can see why 7even hates the Lakers so much. :laugh:
-
^^I think those hard fouls might have had a little something to do with it. After Kobe stopped complaining so much, he focused on just going at the basket and trying to score anyways, and then he started getting more calls too. Great game, Dirk's last 3 point look was nice, but I'm not sure why he faded away, he could have stayed strong, got a good shot off, and probably even got a foul after he released it the way Gasol was coming at him. Also, I don't think Stackhouse is helping the Mavs at all, they need to cut his minutes.
Also, Van Gundy is annoying sometimes, but he does make a lot of good points about strategy and match-ups.

Josh Howard is not being himself since that Kidd trade ... he was :camp: again today
:'( @ Kidd's missed FT

well if you were watching the game you would have noticed how he was missing all those early free throws like a ho, and i couldnt help but think its because of the pinky, now go fuck yourself before you assume shit and call me a flip flopping laker fan
-
just got done watching that game....wow. great great game.
-
Both teams played solid defense, we have to do a better job at preventing opponents offensive boards though ... our shooters are definetely off for 2 games and Fish is in a serious slump right now .. I liked Lamar overall effort on D .. he did a good job on Dirk , the German Boy just hit tough shots in the 4th ... we badly miss Vlad and Ariza at the SF position, even if Luke is doing a better on offense for 2 games ..

Lamar did a pretty good game, i agree. He defended very well on Dirk, always putting his body against him, then putting his hand on Dirk's face. But you know, Dirk fades away, so you can't stop him getting them type of shots, it's not Odom's fault. But at least he forced the German Boy to take tought shots. Anyway the refs were just HORRIBLE in that situation. They always called a faul against Lamar. 2-3 of them were inverted fouls/no fouls. Horrible, for real. NBA refs sucks.
Gasol did a pretty good job too, at the end. When he started to realize his shots werent going in, he started to share the ball, and he is a wonderful assist-man, when he wants. He did a very stupid and fucked up faul on Kidd at the end of the game though, when Kidd scored and was fouled (and missed the FT). He's probably tired, he kinda lost his confidence after a brilliant 1st quarter, but fuck that, yesterday it was Kobe's SHOWTIME.
Oh, the last thing to say.. SOMEBODY TELL "THE MACHINE" TO PASS THE FUCKING BALL WHEN HE AIN'T HITTING THOSE 3 PTS!!!!! LOL. He shot 1-10 or something from 3pts!!
Anyway good fucking Game. I knew we was going to win when Kobe said "We ain't loosing that".
-
Great game. Odom looked like a high schooler compared to Dirk. Dampier did a great job, too. 16 points and 17 boards in just 30 mins. Gasol barely put up 17 points and 14 boards in like 44 mins. LMAO @ Kidds face when he missed that last free throw.

Sorry, but Odom did a very nice job on Dirk throughout the game...Dirk stepped it up in the 4th, but that's what you expect the current MVP to do.

LOL at Odom looking like a high schooler.. he did a great job on Dirk through the 1st 3 QTRs , Dirk was just unstoppable and hit tough shots in the 4th and OT .. what are supposed to do when a 7 footer is hitting fadeaways ? the only thing is to double teamed him but leavin Terry , Howard or Stack opened isn't a smart thing to do .. when great players are on fire, there is nothing you can do .. you just try to force them to take tough shots and hope they miss

They're just mad that the Lakers are killing and wish they could have a double-double machine like Odom on their team...

Odom was already on my favorite team... I'm not mad, nor do I wish he was back on the Clippers. Lord knows, Odom's inconsistent play is the last thing they need.

LMAO@someone not wanting Odom on their team. :stupid:

i got KG on my team, fuck Lamar Odom ::)
-
If Brand leaves the Clippers after this season, then that would mean someone like Odom would be an automatic first or second option. And we've all seen how "well" he does in that position. So why would I hope and pray to the Basketball Gods that Odom joins the Clippers again? Na. I'm cool.

Odom would be 6th man of the year playing for the Celtics behind Pierce and KG...
SGV, you're not the smartest Clipper fan. The Clippers currently need all the help they could get. It'd be a blessing if they could get Odom.
PG Shaun Livingston
SG Corey Maggette
SF Lamar Odom
PF Elton Brand
C Chris Kaman
You WISH you could have a line-up like that...if you don't, I feel sorry for you.

Oh NIK. Why would the Clippers need another injury prone player? On top of that, one who is inconsistent when put in a leadership role. Livingston and Brand are STILL out this season, so had Odom joined the team, he'd be in a leadership role. And, like I stated, he's not consistent when he's in that particular role. So, no, I would NOT want him on the Clippers. The Clippers don't need "solid" third options. They need veteran leadership, a consistent playing and healthy team. Odom does not fit that description. He's not a veteran leader, does not play consistent and has a problem staying healthy. So, yeah, let's have a simple convo without your childish antics of name calling and labeling.

Odom isn't injury prone, genius...Every injury he's had was a typical basketball injury that could've happened to anyone, and he's played through some of them, which injury prone players NEVER do. Odom is not "inconsistent"...Sure, he wasn't the Pippen we wanted him to be when playing as the 2nd option to Kobe, but he's an incredible all-around talent who AVERAGED a double-double during his stay with us. Inconsistent players don't average double-doubles. I somehow doubt you've watched Odom play. He actually LED the Miami Heat to the Eastern-Semis as a first option, which I guarantee you didn't see. Nobody thought it could get worse than Elgin Baylor, but Clipper fans need to thank God you're not the GM.
-
Oh NIK, why are you unable to have a convo without being childish?
Are you serious that Odom is NOT injury prone? He never played more than 76 games in a season with the Clipperes. One season he missed more than half the season another season he barely played over half games. This dude has missed about 20 games a season at least 5 seasons. But yeah, he's not injury prone. I was in Miami for one of the Playoff games against the Hornets in 04. I was there for Game 6. I don't even remember if Odom played or not. What I do remember was that Eddie Jones and Dwayne Wade killed it. And from what I remember from that season that Eddie Jones LED the team. Odom was the second option. And Dwayne Wade was not too far from being that first or second option himself. At this point, I know for a fact Odom is NOT averaging a double double with the Lakers. He's barely averaged 10 reb's twice (this season included). Unless he gets the rebounds up this season, he still won't be averaging a double double. Get your facts up. So yeah... Clipper fans know it can't get worse than Elgin Baylor, since he picked up Odom 4th in a draft where Marion, Miller, Rip Hamilton, AK47 and Manu came after.

Ummm...First and foremost, Odom>Marion, Miller, and AK...LOL. I'm not being childish, it's just a disgrace for anyone to say they wouldn't want Odom on their team. Especially a team that's as bad as the Clippers. And sorry to burst your bubble, but Odom was considered the leader of that Heat team, averaging 17 points, 10 boards, and 4 assists. Those are stats ANY team would welcome. BTW, Odom has pretty much been averaging a double-double in 3 of his 4 seasons with the Lakers (well, one of those seasons he actually grabbed 9.8 RPG, with the other season going 15 - 9.2 - 5.5). I just don't believe anyone would decline a player of Odom's caliber. You act like we're talking about Luke Walton or something...this is Lamar freakin' Odom. In his 8 years in the league, he averages 64 games played a year. That's extremely good, considering the injuries he's had. Odom is not injury prone, he just hasn't had the best of luck. The way he plays, he throws his body around a lot, so he's had his share of typical basketball injuries. Injury prone players don't heal quick, they don't heal 100%, and they don't play through injuries like Odom. What in this debate makes me childish? As far as I'm concerned, you're the childish one, claiming you wouldn't want an all-star caliber talent on your shitty team all because he plays for the Lakers...
-
"Genius" "I guarantee you didn't see..." Yeah... you're being extremely mature.
You're the only person that thinks Odom is this great player. Odom was already on the Clippers, what did he do for them? Not much. Sorry to burst your bubble, but that is a fact. I would decline Odom on the Clippers because he's already proven to me that he's not a good leader (though you think he is). He's an inconsistent 2nd option. So, what would he bring to the Clippers? They don't need a player like that, who on top of that, is out for a fourth of the season on average. You think the Clippers need a "key" player out a fourth of the season? LOL. So yeah... He brings nothing to the table for the Clippers. He's a decent 3rd option and that's that. I don't think the Clippers need a decent 3rd option more than they need a solid veteran leader.

By the way you were talking, you either didn't see Odom lead the Heat to the Eastern-Semis, or you're just completely brain dead...Pick one. It's not a diss, I'm just tellin' it like it is. Odom on the Clippers and Odom now are two different players. And when he was on the Clippers he was the leader of that team...Now, he'd be a 3rd option behind Brand and Maggette. Possibly a 4th behind Kaman, as well. You say he's a decent third option? LMFAO Odom is currently the best 3rd option in the league, and that's on the hottest team. How would you NOT want that? Shaun Livingston is WAYYY more injury prone than Odom. Does that mean you don't want Livingston to return? I guess you wouldn't want Marcus Camby or TJ Ford either. Yao Ming? Dwyane Wade? Would you decline them too?...Odom is just as injury prone as anyone out there. The fact that he's been through some nasty spills and collisions doesn't equate to him being injury prone. Frankly, his injuries coulda' happened to anybody. And even if he were injury prone, that's still no excuse to say you wouldn't approve of him on your roster...PeACe

i'm fine with what we got now

There goes the childish behavior yet again.
Odom did not lead the Heat to the semi's. At least not that I remember. You seem to remember, so show me a link. Show me something that says "Lamar Odom leads the Miami Heat into the Eastern Conference Semi's." Again, like I said, why would the Clippers need a third option? Considering how well Kaman is playing this year, he's still an option. So, the Clippers have their three solid options and don't need Odom. For what? What does he bring to the table? Answer that. Rebounds? Kaman and Brand bring that. Scoring? Brand and Maggette bring that. When Livingston gets back after this injury, who knows how well he'll be playing. I wouldn't mind if the Clippers went out to bring in a solid veteran Point Guard for leadership. Yao, Camby, Wade and Ford would bring more to the Clippers even with their injuries when compared to Odom.
So you think the Clippers would benefit more from adding Odom than they would by adding a veteran PG?

By the way you were talking, you either didn't see Odom lead the Heat to the Eastern-Semis,
eddie jones and dewayne wade were on that team too ya know, and the eastern semi's isn't much of an accomplishment unless your first name is TRacy.

The Vet PG Project is a Bust Bro..
I Say let the Ones There Develop Their game & More Importantly, Let's Pray Livingston
Get's Back To Playing at even 75%, Let Alone His full 100% (He's my fav Young PG in The Entire league)
With The Emergence of Al Thornton This year..
If Brand & Livingston & Kaman Come back to Full strength next season to The Lineup.
(If Maggette & Brand Decide To stay During The off Season That is...)
L.A. Will have 2 powerhouse teams next season.
On To The Odom thing...
I've been peeping this Thread Out And Can See Both Of Your Arguments Concerning The Clipps/Odom
I'd Agree That Lineup That NIK Posted With The Starting 5 (Including Lamar Odom) Would Be In The Playoffs Guranteed.
Also The Odom We See playing today in 08 is NOT The Same 'Ole Lamar We Seen on The Clippers or The Heat...
IMO Odom has elevated His game, Peep's need To Understand Lamar is One of Those Players Who Came With Baggage. (Personal prob's)
Odom is in a Different Place now, He's been Thru Enough Shit To Make Someone Want to Blast..Basketball Hasn't been His priority
For a While, Until Now & It Shows In His Play.
Players With Odom's Body Type & Ball Handles Are Exactly what A Coach Creams of...
& It's Sick To Think ABout, But Odom is a year Younger Than Kobe. (That's another Run...)
The Injury's early In Lamar's Basketball life are just That Injury's, But I'd take it A bit Further And Add lack of Focus!
Ever Since the Death Of His Son, Odom Has re-evaluated his Life First Then basketball. Now He's playing His Best.
Shit If I'm on A team needing a 6'10 Foward Who pushes/handles And Shoots the ball Like A guard.
Odom Would be The Fit On Any team, I'd take 29 double-double's on My team. Wait.. 8)

Try typing "odom led heat" or "Odom's Heat" in a google search...Now try that with Eddie Jones. It was clear that Odom was the leader of that team, it's not my fault you "can't remember". Odom not only had the best stats on that team, but also averaged the most minutes played...Quit tryna argue something you can't. You ask what Odom bring's to the table? LMAO. How about playmaking. The best passer from the 3 spot in the league. How 'bout amazing rebounding ability for a small forward (ANY team can use more boards). How 'bout some good defense, so that Maggette doesn't get burned on every possession playing the 3. LMAO@"what would Odom bring?". Odom is a complete player and can give your team pretty much anything. Do you know that Odom can play the point as well? I know the Clippers need some playmakers, and Odom is the definition of a playmaker. I never said you guys wouldn't benefit more by adding a true point guard, but saying you don't want Odom on your team is simply absurd...
