This is the most straight forward blog on the net, that's why it's always one of my first two stops on my daily internet surf. I also think for the most part the commenters of your site are well versed and usually say very intelligent things. I think a lot of this can be contributed to your style. Fair weather fans preaching non-sense aren't really interested in a well maintained, logical site like this...and believe me, that's a good thing. Anyhow, keep up the good work. Kurt,

Its one thing to be a die hard Laker fan, its something much better to be able to discuss with others as well. Every contributor here knows whats up. I never even knew what a blog was until I was reading DIME magazines' NBA season preview for this year and they pointed out to me in the magazine that blogs are taking over. They had every teams preview in the magazine by their hometown blog, and thats how I first heard about FB & G. So keep up the good work Kurt. One quick memory about that Magic comeback game. Remember when he faked the $#!& out of Sprewell with the fake pass out to the corner and went in for the uncontested layup? That was beautiful, it was like Magic had never left. As for last night, everybody all over the news and radio has been crying all day about why Kobe didn't get the last shot. Come on people, dont you see what PJ is doing? Us true Laker fans know that PJ will gladly sacrifice a loss mid season to build a player's confidence in the long run, and thats exactly what he is doing now. Lamar was having a HORRIBLE game. But PJ still called the play for him, wanted him to be the hero. He missed and PJ and Kobe didnt sound like they regretted the decision. A loss in February to the Knicks is not important... having Lamar know the hes our guy is more important Hey guys, first of all, I wanted to thank Kurt for what he does with this site.

I'm really happy I found FB&G - it's added to one of the sites I check out every single day, so Kurt - you are right there with Mark Cuban :) I wasn’t surprised by the news – it seemed pretty logical considering Simmons (along with Webb) has been pulling True Hoop on occasion as well.

We're opinioated basketball fans, and we likely read other blogs to keep the juices flowing, but coming home to FB&G is a treat. No idiots, no babies, no kids crying in their beer they aren't yet old enough to drink, no extremism, no bashing, no flame-wars. There is a dearth of sensible discourse about sports (and politics and religion), but this has become a place we can depend on. Cheers to all the FB&G team.

What does that mean for FB&G? Hopefully some more "smart, thoughtful and passionate basketball and Laker fans who can have civilized discussions" will be able to find Kurt's awesome blog.
