Hey, don't get it twisted! My dislike for Verajao is purely for his bad taste in hair do's...

I still don't understand how the Big Cactus can't make free throw shots after all these years. I love watching it, its like Charles Barkleys golf swing
Brings back old memories...

Lol! Actually, thats the first think I liked about him, before I'd actually seen him play...
As for the game, before tip-off, I'd have accepted close loss. The bench has certainly stepped up for the Cavs tonight!It could've easily gone that way, but Kobe was bodying up a lot, and did lunge for the ball a bit before getting pushed off. But yes, it could've gone Kobe's way. LA fans at the arena getting a bit ugly, and ironicly its the fans of the team WITH Artest throwing things...
But yeah, becoming a bit spiteful from both sides...

Alright so it's not ours... But I'm still in the spirit!!!
A little over 3 hours to go and televised unusually live on a saturday morning for One HD, following the Celts/Magic back to back, we got the MAIN ATTRACTION!!! Cavs @ Lakers....
Ya'll know what Kobe did the last time around, what's in store for today?
Should be a good 5 hours of Basketball coming up.

Shaq and Kobe with the first blood!

Wow!
These elbows, pushes and shoves Brons gettin away with... If that was Ron Ron doing the pushing and shoving he'd have been ejected already.
Good to see him keeping his head.
We'd wanna close this gap before half time if we're to make anything of the second half.

When a 6'10, 200 plus pound dude tries to run through a 6'1, 150 odd pound smaller dude... there's no such thing as a flop!
Close that gap Lakers!!! 20 points down to 10...
Am I the only fool awake for this???

Waive it off Danny... Nice shot though!
Kobe got away with a nice one there himself, absolutely destroyed Mo Williams ribs I think
Ah well, as a good friend says; 'You get that...' #-o
Weird, weird game. Cavs end our home floor run at 11 games.
Good job.
Not to live in the past, but I'll take our away win (of only 2 losses for CLE in CLE in 08/09) with a Championship to boot, over this win for Cleveland in LA, as the reigning memory in this little 'rivalry'...

Score 1 for the Cavs...
Unbeleivable numbers for Kobe but that's all there was to it, felt like a Lakers 05/06 game. No support. Without blaming Ron he didn't shut down like we needed, Odom didn't bring the fire from the bench and we simply DID NOT go to Pau... AT ALL!!!
Starting to support his subtle off court gripe but that's another story.
Worst thing about this game? 2 Wins in one day for the Celtics...

The Lakers bench is the main concern for me. Kobe and Pau are gonna bring it night in, night out. Bynum is a bit off atm (breathing problem and asthma or something) but the bench is terrible.
Ever since Odom started hitting Khloe his game has gone else where, no offensive aggression. Ron Ron while starting is up and down. Sasha well all i can say is bring your cards so u and Morrison can play a game while the real players play ball. Brown is great when he brings his energy to the court but today he looked flat. Farmar??? Whats going on there?? He's been real hit or miss but mainly miss, i feel he needs more court time and cut Fish minutes. Also will be a boost when Walton gets healthy.
Tough game today with far to many techs. Cavs played had nose ball and things just fall their way. Moons bank and double clutch 3's were worth a laugh.
Phil really need to shake up the bench i reakon. Give Powell some more minutes and even bring in DJ when Bynum is flat cos alot of teams lay off players like DJ and Powell.
On a side note, nice game by Kobe in a lossing effort today, 35, 9 and 8 and even tho he only shot like 35% he did hit 12/12 from the FT line but had a few calls gone his way he woulda hit 50 i reakon.

Before u trash me as a C's fan do u think the Lakers run well when Kobe goes and takes 32 shots?? U can look and say great game Kobe 35-9-8 but 11-32?? You'd be happy if the opposition were chucking up 11-32. I dunno - maybe it is others not stepping up...
As Oz said - Gasol anyone?? He has more moves than Tiger and he didn't get the ball....I'd be gutted if I worked as hard as him on the glass and got 10 shots or whatever he took....
Having said that I wish KG saw the ball more too!!

thats true but i really like the way the Kings r playing of late. They are doing well and JT hasnt even done anything yet. I think the Kings will be a rising team over the next year or 2 and will suprise alot of teams.
Also 60+% for Kings V's 36% from lakers kills u right there

Thnking exactly the same thing a few minutes ago. They are a rising team with Tyreke also giving them a very young team to go with the Thunder. I was going to add the Blazers but they have been unfortunate this year with injuries...
