Lynwood took a week off, but came out swinging this week, I had to stop reading to laugh.

I could care less about the commentating. Only thing that made me laugh was Jeff Van Gundy's statement about Houston being the top team in the West by the end of the season. Really?! Houston? They might have had a 22-win streak last season, yet got bounced out of the 1st round again. T-Mac will never seem to get out of the 1st round in his career, dubbed the 2nd-rd Virgin.

Fuck what you think. LA beat Boston plain and simple. There seems to be all these questions about LA being soft and not physical, but when Boston pushed us, we pushed back. I can't wait for Feb. 5, when we go into Boston. LA always seems to be under the microscope for every little thing, but we'll take it. I'll admit, Boston is DAMN GOOD. They scared me for a bit when they got the lead late in the 4th. Speaking about the starting 5, Boston, I think, will beat our 5 straight up. Add in the bench, that's where we have the advantage. Our bench was in there for a good portion for the 3rd and 4th quarter and either extended our lead, or kept it close. The small things on that team aren't magnified as much since they were on that win streak, but looking now, they have a very weak bench. Losing Posey will have a big affect on them come March/April when teams are gunning for them. They better sign someone to add veteran leadership off the bench.

I feel bad for the Warriors, now Boston is gonna come in tonight and take out their frustrations on them and destroy them. Then on Sunday, they have the Lakers at Staples Center. What a way to end the year for them.

OptionZero · 12-26-2008, 01:33 PM

Actually it's quite fitting to end the year getting destroyed by last year's Finals participants.

We've already seen our "vice president" step into the public eye during a power grab against the GM, only to stupidly hand over extensions to Don Nelson and Stephen jackson, thus robbing himself of any possibility of controlling them. . . . then we've had our coach completely tank the season to the point where he's publicly handing over defensive coaching duties exclusively to his assistants . . . the biggest signing this offseason is pulling another Al Harrington, who himself faked an injury just to get traded.

Oh, and Ellis won't be back for another month, the guy we traded Al Harrington for, Jamal Crawford, is out with an injury, and Jack is faking an injury to his hand after bitching at the coach.

So basically everyone making any sort of money either sucks, is injured, or has given up already.

Except Andris Biedrins, the most underrated center in the league.

SimpleSexy180 · 12-26-2008, 01:37 PM

the EVIL FOUR LETTER is horrible. Commentating for any NBA game from them is trash.

ALTRNTV · 12-26-2008, 01:43 PM

I do feel bad for the Warriors. It was pretty funny when the commentators joked about betting if you could name the Warriors starting 5, due to all their injuries.

Don Nelson couldn't name the Warriors starting 5.

WERDdabuilder · 12-26-2008, 05:45 PM

ha i laughed when they asked him and he was like "uh..........."

ALTRNTV · 12-26-2008, 11:00 PM

Golden State <3

Golden State gave Boston too much (did that actually happen?). Boston with a 2-game slide. They are shaken. Looks like the Christmas game was more than "just another game" eh?

OptionZero · 12-26-2008, 11:12 PM

What
the
fuck
just
happened?

I am reluctant to share anything with a Laker fan, but I will gladly share a hearty laugh at kick starting the Celtics' 19-game losing streak!

How great is it to have a solid defensive center who can hit FT's off the bench? Turiaf was money with the game on the line.

Captain Jack is a good player when he gets plenty of rest (he never gets any rests) and doesn't pretend he's Tracy McGrady (he thinks he's better than TMac from his shot selection usually)

Watching Marco Belinelli pwn Ray Allen was priceless

Even more priceless than Garnett doing jack most of the game

CJ Watson the dleaguer pwning the Celtics at the end was dope. Was that on house or rondo? If it's house, then Nellie is a genius for calling that; if it was rondo, it should be grounds to strip him of any all-star nominations

wow

the warriors will now lose the next 22 games

I love your insight. LOL

Insider info:
Milwaukee gets Landry, sends Lue and Villanueva
LAL gets Lue, sends Mihm
Houston gets Villanueva and Mihm, sends Landry and Head

We'll see how just credible my source is.

OptionZero · 12-26-2008, 11:52 PM

Pretty solid deal all around

Best players are landry and villanueva, clearly.

villanueva would seem to be a good fit since he's a scoring big that can stretch the floor for Yao and create his own shot if T-Mac or Yao aren't available (which we know will happen); i believe he only has this year left or one more on his rookie deal, so its a cheap gamble

Landry seems to be the dirty work big that Skiles would love and never really had in Chicago. he is also affordably priced, so milwaukee is doing well here. Ramon Sessions made Lue expendable

Lakers are in it just to get a role player backup at the point. He might be useful against speedy PG's like Paul and Parker, since neither farmar nor Fisher is the best laterally

mihm is 6 fouls against yao and shaq

ALTRNTV · 12-27-2008, 11:26 AM

Lakers = 5 losses by a total of 29pts (Ind, Miami, Orl = 6pts)
Celtics = 4 losses by a total of 44pts

BOROSUN · 12-27-2008, 10:52 PM

there's rumors floating around that starbury might be signed by the lakers.

if they do championship is theirs.

ALTRNTV · 12-27-2008, 10:57 PM

That rumor is pretty old, but he did say that people will be surprised who he signs with.

Gnnr · 12-30-2008, 02:21 PM

This made me laugh

ALTRNTV · 12-30-2008, 02:45 PM

I was LMAO to that commercial during the Christmas games.

ANVIL · 12-30-2008, 03:15 PM

is there a deadline on when starbury can sign?

side note, finally a win for the suns... over the thunder OKC

man, nash and amare really need to step it up. shaq, killin it still. ill be pissed if he doesnt make all star.. he should be starting for the west this year the way hes been playing.

Mi Beardo es Loco · 12-30-2008, 03:18 PM

go lakers. that's allz I have to say bout dat.

ALTRNTV · 12-30-2008, 03:24 PM

If he is to be traded, the deadline is Feb. 19. If he is bought out and signs as a free agent somewhere and wants to be eligible for the playoffs, the deadline to sign is the day after the regular season ends, because teams need to file their 12-man roster .

ANVIL · 12-30-2008, 03:34 PM

thought so... just wasnt sure if he was bought out yet. wtf is up with them not buying him out AND not having him play

nstabl · 12-30-2008, 04:29 PM

llakkeerrrssss whhoooooo

ALTRNTV · 01-04-2009, 07:04 PM

Cleveland lost to the Wizards. Boston loses to the Knicks. All on the same day. I'm lovin' it!
Like I said before, the Christmas game was more than just a game as Boston fans would call it. That loss was HUGE. They lost 3 games after that day, it sure shook their confidence. Now I hear talks of Marbury going to Boston... lol. Like that'll fix their problems.

FUCK BOSTON.

**Phlip** · 01-04-2009, 07:12 PM

Dude, today was full of upsets, with memphis over dallas and orlando falling too.

ALTRNTV · 01-04-2009, 07:14 PM

Clippers almost beat Detroit as well.
