Confident that the Lakers will jump on them that quick?

 

[DJ]

San Antonio is going to win, 105-93.

Maybe, we'll get lucky and Pop will rest TD, Parker and Manu?

Well since Kobe launched the tirade that he did, I suspect the other plays like Lin, who don't exactly think Kobe is the coolest thing on the planet will put in their usual minimum effort. I don't see us getting our 7th win tonight.

Any that do that are fools. It sounds like Byron loved it, so I'm guessing anyone who doesn't bring max effort, won't be on the floor much.

Well Lin has already worked himself out of a starting position as he continues to pout on the bench with Boozer who has already made it known to Scott he didn't like the demotion either. This team is headed to keep their first round pick so it looks like Kobe is going to have to managed his outbursts or they eventually will tire of it and Kobe will waive is NT clause and he'll finish his career somewhere else even though the ownership continues to publically deliver the love for Kobe. This one isn't over.

 

[OutlawImmortal]

Lin just needs to get angry, you wouldn't like him when he's angry.

As Stu Lantz said the other day, you wouldn't want a player who's happy about being demoted.

Well, Lin will either toughen up or he'll continue to sit and be gone after the season. Like Outlaw says, we certainly don't want him to be happy about it. Boozer complained at first, but has adjusted and played well in the last game.

And then there is the train wreck known as the Knicks. It is becoming increasingly apparent that Anthony is going to waive his NT clause and asked to be traded. At 4 and 20, they have such team disgruntlement that we may end up with Anthony afterall. I am sure Jeanine and Phil have already talked about this. It wouldn't surprise me abit if Kobe and Anthony end up playing together with some team. It just may be the Lakers before this year is completed.

We'll see. One report says he's willing to waive it, then another said he isn't going to. Personally, I think he would for the right team. The problem is, what (aside from Nash's expiring contract) do the Lakers have that the Knicks would want?

I hope it happens just so we can see if Cuban and Gilbert cry about it like they did the CP3 trade.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea me too TJF12. We owe both a-holes a really stunning addition to put the fear back them because Cuban has become a complete jerk and he hates the Lakers just as much as I hate his rich, arrogant ass.

 

[Retroram52]

If Kobe comes out and plays like he wants his teammates to play, he has the chance to pass MJ on the all-time scoring list tonight.

I'm torn, not sure if he's going to be facilitator Kobe or Hero Ball Kobe.
