Tomorrow is going to be an enjoyable day. Draft party with friends and watching the Lakers roll.

At least Kobe didn't kiss his own bicep on the court like Nash. Now that was gay.

On ESPN radio last night it was discussed that Andrew Bynum's knee could possibly be career ending. He may have to have some corrective surgery and possibly a few follow up procedures.

This is sort of a 180 turn (360 degrees if you're Jason Kidd) from what I have read. However it's not suprising this eventually came up because of how many times his return has been pushed back.

Anyone hear anything? It would be a shame if he never takes the floor again

we've heard about a billion different things. No idea at all what is true these days.

a guy who's a weakling kissing his guns is making fun of himself. Self-deprecating humor isn't gay Renz. Again, if you had said Amare doing push-ups after getting an And 1 or the Suns doing their ring-around-the-rosey act before the game or Tim Thomas doing his "you can't see me" thing against the Mavs a couple of years ago, I'd agree with you and pointed those things out as lame when they happened. But someone basically making fun of himself? Not sure how that's gay. And if you think Nash was actually kissing his "guns" because he thinks his ripped, well, then, I don't know what to tell you.

man, Laker fans on this board (BIM excluded) can be such sycophants sometimes. You knows guys, it is possible to look at your team or their actions objectively sometimes. Not EVERYTHING they do is the bees knees. And not everything someone says about your team is motivated by hate. I hated the Lakers, but loved Magic. I hated the Bulls but marveled at pretty much everything Jordan did. Hell, I hated the Lakers again, but thought Shaq was pretty damn funny, even when acting a fool (although his woe is me act was pretty sad). I just happen to think Kobe's a phony. To me, the guy has zero charisma. He's a freaking assassin on the court, but I just don't see a lot underneath. Don't get me wrong, I'd KILL to have him on my team, but the adulation he gets for every little thing he does is just a bit beyond me.

Another great win today, and a 3-0 lead for the Lakers. Kinda hard to find any fault in todays game, but if I had one complaint it would be the off day from the free throw line. Luckily, it wasn't a factor as the Lakers just opened up a can of Whoop Ass on the Nuggets.

How about that Luke Walton huh? He's having a hell of a series so far, and another big game today. I was also pleasantly surprised by Vlad's defense on Carmello, he really shut him down for long stretches of the game. Lakers have it rolling right now, lets hope they keep it up and get rid of these guys in 4.

The series is over! Man, talk about no heart. The Nuggets look lethargic out there. It isn't even close. Melo is a marshmallow and so are the rest of them. Shoot, I thought this was going to be exciting and I was wrong.

Congrats on this series. Time to move on.

Denver gave up in Game 2. You could tell by the way they were just racking up Techs like it was no big deal, they knew they weren't going past the 1st and they didn't care. Today they showed no heart, no fight, nothing. This is a team that only lost 8 games at home all year. Denver is supposed to be a tough place to win, but you could tell the Nuggets just didn't care. They are already beaten, it ends officially on Monday, but this series is over.

On that note, Kenyon Martin is a bitch. That guy cries about everything, someone get him a diaper and send him home. I can't believe I used to like that guy, what an ass.

I also think the Laker's defense has been great. Maybe frustration turned to defeat? Melo is a disgrace to his team. The guy is playing like crap and all you see is smiles on this guys face. Shame the guy finds humor in being swept in 4 games. Good job and onward to face Utah....

And you sometimes have to understand that you can be wrong. I know it is hard, cheese, but you can be. You think Kobe's phony. I don't. Big deal. But you won't convince me of your thoughts just as I wont' convince you of mine. I've watched Kobe since jump...really...since he did an interview with Brooke Shields subbing for some late night talk show guy when he was announcing his NBA decision. Before I knew he'd be a laker. I've followed his career closely. I don't think he's a phony. You might. I really don't care. But your feelings don't make you right.

I could turn around and say that you Nash fans or Amare fans are sycophants...the shoe does fit. But you know what...wgas?

Donald · April 26th, 2008, 09:44 PM

I have to say...great work Luke Walton. I've been his biggest critic all year but he's ballin' in the playoffs. Maybe it is this matchup, but I'd love to see the same effort against the Jazz (Rockets??) next round.

'Cause yeah...this round is over.

Get the broom..bitches....please sweep this sorry ass tat-shop team.

Way to give up ass clowns!
