The NO/Hou game was tied going into the 4th quarter and NO won by 21 pts. If we win tommorow, we end the road trip…in first place in the conference, not bad, not bad at all.

That fisher article, and the replies, are mind boggling. How do you get to the conclusion that he ‘makes more money’ when he took a paycut? I mean, if D-Fish is half the star Kobe is, maybe, through local endorsements or something… but seriously, Fish?

Not saying that Fish isn’t valuable or anything, but they really have to get real. Or study math.

Regarding the Fisher article, remember that the Jazz fans showered the Warriors with a continuous stream of racial epithets in the 2007 playoffs. We are not talking about classy people here, folks.

When Fish first signed with the Lakers for less money, I didn’t hear any real volumn of comments from Utah that he screwed them. It is only after the Lakers (along with the Hornets) are the surprise team in the Western Conference that the complaints really started.

People have selective memories. Remember when Boozer was falling off the edge of the earth in Utah (injury) and people were bemoaning his signing. Some Laker fans were promoting a trade to get him here and Salt Lake fans weren’t too unhappy about the speculation. Cleveland fans were at least somewhat happy they hadn’t signed this injured malcontent. Well, last year and this year have sure changed things, haven’t they?

new post up.

And that article does suck, but I got emails from people in Utah today and they think Fish screwed them. Really odd.

86- That article is extremely dissapointing. I am glad Horry is in Texas(even though I despise the spurs). He needed to be closer to his family and I guarantee any laker fan sees Big Shot Bob they don’t boo.

The one thing that really bothered me from the game last night was when with 10 min left in the 4th we went to the 1-4 offense. one person with the ball at the top and pretty much let it be up to that one player to score. If you defense falters at least you can still do the same thing on offense. Odom played hard you could tell he was going at it from the get go. A right hand would be nice but I will take things in steps with him, aggressive is a good start. I was waiting for a game like this where Radman goes off again. It has been a while. Is D Fish getting tired, the long season getting to him? I know things will work out before the playoffs. That’s when we are all talking about, playoffs.

I was pretty suprised when I first read it. I pretty much agree with what Brett Edwards said at Fanhouse. I see no logic is the article. Basketball wise, it made absolutely NO sense for Fish to return to the Lakers. He took a paycut. The Jazz were solid contenters, and were in the WCF. The Lakers were destroyed in the first round. No one could have expected Bynum becoming a factor, and with the possibilty of Kobe being unhappy around, I’m sure he considered the possibility that the Lakers may be a dysfunctional team. Yet, the author goes on to remark that what Boozer did was MORE honarable than what Fish did. Wow.

#86 – Wow.

I’d like Fish to rain about eight 3′s in from downtown tomorrow night.

Man, I feel thats a pretty tasteless column. Saying Carlos Boozer’s breaking a deal made with a benevolent blind owner as being more honorable than What fish did? That’s cheap. I hope Fish has a great game tommorow.

80:
I agree, super fun to watch. This has been really exciting for all of us.

I would just hate to see Bynum think he needs to be a savior of sorts and then overdo it on that knee in the playoffs when the games get more physical. It’s just allot to ask of him to miss 3 months and then step right into the playoffs for your first game back. he has no real playoff experience since he didnt really play in last years series or the year before.

It’s just allot of expectations on a very very young player who is still finding his way.

I will say though that our Lakers still have a very good shot even if Bynum cant make it back. It will all depend on the D and if they can avoid anymore injuries…..
