and Byron Scott as coach.

Agreed on the Mutumbo comments.

As an aside, who would you pick as an all From-LA NBA team?

PG-Baron Davis
SG-Paul Pierce
SF-Tashaun Prince
PF-Tyson Chandler
C-Jarron and Jason Collins

Wasn’t it refreshing to see Dikembe Mutumbo honored at the State of the Union? That’s class and it’s good to see NBA folks making a real difference (not just signing autographs or just throwing money here and there) in the world. Congrats to Mutumbo.

these games are just too stressful at this stage of the season. can’t we just blow anyone out??? not disregarding the warriors talent level, this is just an overall statement re. the season. 3 days rest should put us in a good position to beat the Bobcats though. excited to see lamar and kwame if they can come back. i am getting anxious already regarding this upcoming 8 game road trip.

Funny thing is, if I were a Warriors fan, I’d have been happy about Baron sitting. He was chucking them up all night, minus the “swag”.

Baron Davis sits the last 1:30 with a leg cramp… wow.

Ugly game. Didn’t want to see all of those turnovers, especially in the first half, and absolutely no defensive effort in the first quarter what so ever.

That being said, I liked what I was finally able to watch. Bynum really impressed me with his footwork around the basket in the first quarter; if he can keep that kind of play up, we should be much better. Kobe hit some crazy shots but mainly worked as a provider; I was happy with what I saw the rest of the way with everyone except..

Vlad looked completely lost in the offense.

Kobe saved the day. Yet the defense was WAY better. The Lakers had a DRtg of 100.82. I hope this is a springboard to tighten it up on D.

Oh, the game wound up with a blistering pace of 102.16 possessions.

Holy Smokes. Al Harrington is just burning the Lakers.

Also, if the game continues at this pace, we’re looking at 106.7 possessions. That’s sick even by Nellie standards. The Lakers have to settle this game down.

SI.com has a pretty interesting (and very random) interview with Gary Vitti:

Great job, you guys don’t need me around.

I’m curious to see what Denver looks like in a month, when everyone gets used to one another. I think they could be good, and with a tweak or two very good next season. Or, they could implode is a spectacular fashion.

As for Kauai, the beer is too cold, the daquries too fruitiful….
