jj reddick playing defense on kobe bryant.
coach ron jeremy needs his ass whoooooped for this bullshit.

I was at the sports bar here like..welp.. they've officially given up
cosizzle
c/s
c/s...You know Buss is gonna make that happen, hes not gonna let him get away. Jerry Buss is the best owner in the NBA, hands down.
Seriously....he will extend Kobe's career by two years or so... Kobe no longer has to use a lot of energy on the defensive end because Ariza guards the other teams best perimeter players...he takes a lot of pressure off of him...he's young too and only gonna get better.. they should do whatever they can to resign him..
Yup.
If I had a choice between picking ONLY Trevor Ariza or Lamar Odom and there was only room for one more, I'd choose The RZA. The man is underrated.
I can't take all the credit, though-- Yahweh tipped me off.
i'm thinkin this lakers series might haunt howard and the magic for a couple of years
I think so too man.. there is a difference between losing and then losing like they did. They could have stolen game two and Lee jacked the layup. They had game 4 in the bag and completely choked as a team... they're going to question their coach now because of all the stupid shit he did like throwing u the team chemistry by giving Nelson too much time, idiotic strategy at the end of key games, etc....
Yup.

I agree. I like Lamar Odom too.. but Ariza is young, a tenacious defender, and a really good spot up shooter...and he has a lot of upside. He made himself a lot of money because of his playoff performances... because A LOT of teams need that type of player on their squad...
THE_REAL_SHAQ O yea congrats to sun yue, nee how
Wouldn't you be? Alston is clearly a better PG fit for the Magic and that system along with Ant Johnson being a solid back up whom got the Magic to the finals with their outstanding play to begin with. Nelson hasn't played damn near half the season and for Van Gundy to straight up Bench Johnson with no time whatsoever and the unbelieveable shit he did by leaving Nelson in for the last 18 mins of game 4 like he was the fuckin man on something when Alston was clearly shinning the first 3 quarters.
Van Gundy seriously should be fired.
Yeah. He's pretty much this team's Michael Cooper. But I'm sure Dr. Buss will find a way to keep both of them.
Lakers can't afford to do a Celtics and rid themselves of key players that helped win the 'ship. Besides Trevor Ariza, I see Andrew Bynum and Shannon Brown being bigger role players for the next season. Andrew Bynum still has room to grow because he hasn't had a full season to play in since '06. Shannon Brown will be even better because he'll have the time to learn the triangle similar to how Jordan Farmar did.
Anthony Johnson has to be... helped get them to the Finals and got no PT
Stan should have left his rotation alone... I could understand bringing back an all-world player, but not jameer nelson
Really stupid..and Anthony was actually played good ball and one of the few Magic players that was looking to drive the ball to the basket as opposed to depending solely on jumpers..
and yes..exactly... you bring a superstar back in that situation.. no disrespect to Jameer.. but the team was going well without him... you just don't fuck your rotation... who does that? a player sits for 5 months and you give him all the playing time in the finals... and it was OBVIOUS that after game 1 he wasn't ready
What indication is there that Patrick Ewing is at all salty???
Who is to say Ewing doesn't have the final say and its Van Gundy who wants Ewing to teach him something else?
This was the dumbest thing I've seen a coach do in a long time...and Skip has to be mad as fuck.. i wouldn't even want to play in orlando next year I was him...
Word unless Orlando gets rid of Gundy I don't see how Skip can trust that nigga on some real shit.
Maybe Alston should've been a team player rather than a bitch about it?
It was a lose-lose situation for Van Gundy, if he didn't play Nelson its "How do you have an all-star on your roster and not utilize him?!?"
So there's no actual basis for you saying Ewing is salty, thanks for clarifying.
How was Alston bitching? not once you heard in the media he was bitching but all the anaylist were calling Van Gundy out on that bullshit. Honestly Nelson is not a legitimate allstar if you really want to be technical.
The moment Stan saw that Nelson wasn't going to be 100 percent he should have benched him for the rest of the series simple as that but thanks to Nelson and his game 4 play he single handedly along with Stan killed the magic's chances of keeping the series alive
That shit completely fucks your trust in the coach and your own confidence. He had to worry about getting pulled out the game prematurely.. I remember he missed a layup in this game and the coach pulled him and put in Jameer. and Skip yelled out "FUCK"...and it wasn't really about missing the layup..he was pissed about being yanked out of the fucking game
Jameer didn't do SHIT the entire series.. barely averaged 2-3 points a game..was scared as hell to shoot and couldn't defend anyone.. and it was OBVIOUS after the first game that he was too damn rusty to be out there

I saw that and wondered if he was really saying(in a sense)FUCK YOU VanGundy....
I know that feeling and I think most players coming up playing regulation ball experienced that shit with their coach, it was either the coach didn't like you for whatever reason or he had his favorite that you was clearly better than and the moment you miss a shot, not turn over the ball or make a bone head mistake BUT MISS A FUCKIN SHOT the coach ready to take you out of the game and won't put you back in until like 3 mins left in the game then after the game give you a bullshit excuse why he took you out and yet your team still loses.
Stan Van Gundy is a fat bitch ass faggot and I really hope Orlando management don't have confidence in him and resign him to an extention. If they do then Skip should demand to be traded. The Cavs can use him
Yep, Ewing fan... Still, you went from saying he was salty and accusing him of bsing Howard to "doesn't total eliminate the possibly that deep down [there's] little bit"
You can never totally eliminate the slightest possibility that deep down there's a teensie wensie...I honestly don't think Ewing was worrying about Howard making it to the Finals more than him two years ago. He got his team to the finals twice and was hurt the second time, the series would've been totally different if he had played... It makes a lot more sense for him to do the best he can to get a head coaching job (which he'll probably never be given an opportunity for).
people are swallowing bottles of pills right now in hopes that they die before Kobe gets the Finals MVP
