What would u do

Also, Lakers traded Radmanovich for Adam Morrison and Shannon Brown of the Bobcats. I personally liked Vladmir. He hit big shots, and got us off to some quick starts in 1st quarters.

I wouldn't either. Love the Shaq days and I know Shaq has said he wants to retire a Laker. Lamar is playing well and he can be consistent for the rest of the year

Adam for Rad. Huge Rad fan. I wish him well

The trade IMO is a ploy for something bigger. I hope not

Kobe better show LeBron today why Kobe is still the best player in the league.

Personally I wouldn't do it. Firstly Shaq currently only plays every other night, not back-to-backs. I also feel there's a sense of loyalty a team should have to a player. Odom helped them get this far and is somewhat essential to the team. Shaq also has a monstrous contract. Lastly, if we had Shaq and won this year people woud say we needed Shaq and Shaq won his 5th title when the objective was for Kobe to when one w/o Shaq. Just my opinion.

If a teams objective is for a single player (kobe) to win a title where he can claim solo responsibility rather than having to *gasp* SHARE that responsibility for being a champion they are completely worthless. This is why the NBA will never touch NCAA basketball.

ODOM MVP! lol

The best.....6-0 on the road trip

Lakers win 101-91

Lamar 28 and 17 boards, Double Double for Pau...Gutsy performance by Kobe and wat a fade away high arching shot on Bron

woot

Celtics lose to the Spurs. Cavs lose to the Lakers. And Orlando wins big over the Nets.

Today is a good day.

Indeed it is

Cleveland lose to the Pacers, who seem to have the magic touch when it comes to playing against elite teams but, otherwise just fail. (Although they only beat the Magic once out of four games played).

Questionable calling by the officials but, Mike Brown is such a ****ing baby. He needs to stfu.

And you ever see Brown speak? The way his mouth enunciates every syllable disturbs me.

Lakers win 105-98 😊

Kobe 34, Pau and Lamar double double. Strong bench play

Tomorrow vs Utah

I'll watch Sportscenter and see the play in question

Lakers lose 🙁

With 20 ticks, Phil should've called a timeout and set up a 3 point shot

42-10 at the All Star Break

O'Neil for Marion

Good deal?

Good for neither team. Better for Toronto.

Howard let me down in the slam dunk competition. I'm expecting Kobe to win it for the West tonight.

Kobe and Shaq should dominate the 4th

Nate Robinson robbed Iggy in 06, and now wins the dunk contest again even though he completed the worst dunk in the history of the dunk contest.

The 2nd the dunk in the video, where he jumps off the guys back. Did I seriously just watch that? That should have gotten 2, TOTAL. Everybody on this message board can do that, and that's a dunk that every single high school kid does before practice everyday.

^^^ Big time agreed.

Nate should not have been in the finals. It should have been Dwight (his were scored too high too but still deserved to be in the Finals) vs either Rudy or JR.

Lakers return tomorrow night..

one game at a time

Hawks and Golden State

Go inside to Pau and Lamar. Need solid defense, dont leave shooters and hopefully Adam Morrison plays

I have to say the All Star weekend was a let down this year, the game was cool but thats about it. What happened to the dunk contest? What a snoozefest, D12 needed to do something special on that 12ft rim instead of a standard two hander. It looked so easy for him he could have probably windmilled it or something. I thought JR Smith had the nicest dunks, that double bounce windmill was severely underrated. The 3pt shootout was terrible, talk about a brick laying comp.
Good to see Kobe and Shaq playing together again, Shaq seems to have bi-polar though. One year he hates Kobe the next he is kissing his ass. I guess he wants to come back to the Lakers for one last round but i hope he doesnt. This Laker team is Kobe's to lead and they mirror him in work ethic and dedication, Shaq would mess with that with his lazy habits.
Now onto the next part of the season, we weren't as consistent defensively as i'd hoped but we did show the ability to lock it down when we had to. Best record in the league and sweeping the Celtics and Cavs, i'll take that gladly. Im hoping that Bynum can get back for a few games before the post season, he is the key to anchoring the defense in the playoffs. Lamar has been playing out of his mind, i hope he can keep that up when he moves back to the bench.
