Look at those seven texts. They explain everything. From FUCK NO to I guess we'd have to in about 40 seconds. NBA franchises look at Dwight Howard the same way a struggling actor looks at Lindsay Lohan at 2:30 in the morning at Bar Marmont. I shouldn't pursue this … but I guess I have to. If you're an owner, Dwight Howard makes you a contender or a laughingstock. http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/9308573/searching-dwight-howard less

There were only TWO people in that interview, Dwight and Mitch and "sources" are saying Dwight wants D'Antoni to somehow elevate Dwight's stature in the locker room? basically? He's not trying to get rid of D'Antoni as much as using his bargaining position to assume more of a leadership role OVER what Kobe and Nash already do... interesting... I take it as a positive sign that Dwight wants to stay that his people are putting this info out as everyone knows Mitch doesn't say a damn thing to anybody... if Dwight was really going to bolt, he wouldn't say anything... and it's interesting Kobe is now putting word out he'll talk to Dwight... because Kobe did the same thing (leadership) after Phil left the 1st time... Mitch probably ran this by Kobe... and Chris Paul isn't going to Atlanta, that's absurd, with the amount of control he has over the Clipper franchise? LOL! less

Dwight will need a sidekick at that point unless Kobe takes a paycut and plays a couple more years - assUming, he even returns near the level he was at before.

What does Jimmy Johnson do well he takes over a struggling Dallas team and within a few years leads them to back to back NFL Superbowl Championships and a lot of the media was giving Jimmy a lot of credit(rightfully so). So what does Jerry Jones do after the Coaches succesful back to back superbowl championships? HE FIRES Jimmy Johnson and brings in Barry Switzer from the Oklahoma Sooners to Coach his team the following year as he doesn't want anyone to take the credit for his team that he owns. I think Jim buss is in similar ways a lot like Jerry Jones if you think about it.

My point was always - don't give him away for nothing. The Lakers held out for top dollar (Dwight) and got it. If they had disciplined him or benched him, he would have lost trade value. At least when he was with us, you could figure he would play 75% of the games or so, nobody expected him to sit out an entire season. You have to admit, his offensive skills are vastly superior to Dwight, it was always a matter of motivating him to do defensive work. When he didn't touch the ball, he sulked and stopped hustling on defense. It would be HYSTERICAL if Dwight leaves and nobody is willing to pony money up for Bynum and Mitch decides to bring him back.

It's good to FINALLY SEE the Clips Improved these past 2 seasons. Coach Larry Brown I thought work a miracle guiding the Clippers to the playoffs back to back years in 1992 & 1993 with lesser talent. He was basically the Only Great Clipper Coach they've had. Maybe they could have regularly made the playoffs had he not resigned. Yeah with these playoffs REALLY SUCKED with all the all-stars going down. The only 2 teams I could see challange the HEAT now are The Clippers & SPURS. less

Don't worry fellas I'm using my Voodoo Doll curse to try to get D.Wade Injured before the Clippers/or Spurs meet Miami in the Finals. Wished me luck fellas hopefully he goes down and a team out West wins the Crown. I sure DON'T WANT MIAMI WINNING AGAIN.

Dayum! at least ask me to stay for one more game or... something... sheesh...
I guess this is another indicator of the massive turnover that's coming in the offseason. I'm assuming D'Antoni stays, unless Dwight indicates he'd prefer otherwise but most of the coaches are going to rotate out, Gasol pretty much has to be traded as he is one of our few assets and they need to bring in D'Antoni guys, 6"4 to 6"9 multi-position guys who can shoot the 3... get a kick out of this group while you can, I bet half the team changes over for next year... less

Eddie Jordan got some nice comments from people connected with Rutgers - excluding David Stern. Maybe he'll have some success there? I dunno, I wish the guy well.

Between him and Griffin whining and crying and throwing tantrums every time one little thing doesn't go their way, the Clippers are the most watchable and UNwatchable team in the league. What a bunch of snivelling whiners though, add Matt Barnes in the mix and it's just constant WHINING! Whine! Whine! WHINE! both the first and second unit. None of them have EVER committed a foul, they flop all over the place and WHINE when a borderline call doesn't go their way and you're about to flip channels and then they actually play and make some amazing play... if I was a ref, I'd screw them a couple of times a game just to mess with them... no doubt that probably happens... less

In account of whining, between kobe and cp3, they are both up there. The one thing I don't like about Chris Paul is how much he flops, he flops way more than Kobe. But I don't blame the guy, he's only 6 feet tall, and he's not physically gifted like Westbrook or D rose where they could score without flopping and getting to the free throw line. Clippers are serious contenders because how deep they are. I being saying this since the beginning. The winner between Clippers or Thunder will go against the Heat in the finals. Wouldn't mind seeing the Clippers in the Finals, not looking forward on Thunder vs Heat again. less

Once SHAQ left do to Kobe, The Lakers first season year(without Shaq) they did not make the Playoffs in 2005. To begin the 2006 season KOBE was already complaining not only to the management, but the Media, sports writers IN DEMANDING TO BE TRADED. Even when the Lakers told him they were trying to bring in Kevin Garnett from the T'Wolves he acted like a spoiled brat AND STILL WANTED OUT!!!! Chris Paul on the otherhand after turning around the New Orleans team to contenders goes to a CLipper TEAM who had 5 STRAIGHT LOSING SEASONS. And only 4 winning seasons in the past 30 years. He WAS OKAY with the Trade that brought him to the CLipper Organization in which Most All-Star type caliber players WOULD REFUSED TO PLAY FOR. He was okay and didn't whine or complained at all. less

With the additions of Crawford,Barnes,Odom, Billups(He missed last years playoffs) I wouldn't be surprised at all if they end up knocking the Thunder out of the 2nd round.

On account of Bynum Philly didn't make the playoffs had a real bad LOSING record and they still had to cough up $16.9 Million this year to a guy who never played.

Yeah, at first all the yelling is "instructional" but god almighty... it never stops... I actually think Mike Brown would be a good fit this time around for them.

His points weren't up there but his defense was unbelievable. I take it back, Darius Morris can provide "pest" type defense so he can provide something... Goudelock on the other hand, was totally exposed after a few short seconds... defensively, when he's out there, it's 4 on 5 on defense so what's the point if he can score some points? He gives up double on the other end anyway...
If they play defense like that, they've got a shot against San Antonio... especially if Nash can come back and provide another 3 point threat to give Gasol and Dwight some room down low... less

So while Kareem Left, the Lakers did not struggle with Magic in control. When Shaq left L.A.

They were 11-0 going into that finals. Also they appeared in 8 finals in 10 seasons together. Kobe & Shaq played 8 seasons together. They won 3 Championships together and appeared in 4 NBA Finals. They got really lucky down 17 points in game 7 in the last quarter against Porland in the western conference finals(in 2000) and should have lost that game. Same goes for game 4 in 2002 against Sacramento if it wasn't for that robery horry 3 point shot that won that game for them. If he missed that shot they'd be down 3-1 in that series to the Kings who had home court advantage in that series.

kbryc08: The Prime Ticket broadcaster (not Lawler the other guy) for this Clipper game is an idiot. He clearly doesn't know the rules of the game. Aaaand Duncan just hit a huge clutch shot and 1. Great game

Spawn: Sir LouASS, you said: BUT WANT TO BE THE FIRST to say THEY WILL BREAK THE RECORD,

Just like when I JINX the Heat when I placed BIG MONEY on them earlier this year when the Clippers WIPE OUT the Floor on them.

I'm really HAPPY to see them LOSE and Old Timers like You, BENN,Saxbeat, & AMBER LYNN can still cherished that 1972 NBA Record Season L.A. had back in its glory days.

No Derek Rose, NO Ric Hamilton, & NO Jaokim NOah on the floor and can't also forget Bertinelli. I really thought it was going to be an another blow out victory by the HEAT and the only team that might had a chance was San Antonio this Sunday. It's like the old saying goes "EVERY DOG has it's day" its not scripted like it is in the WWF, LOL. less

Yes. LouASS's post plus Phil Jackson's first tweet were too much for the Heat to handle.
Mike Hopper

Ron Mexico: too old, too slow... Hopefully the Lakers can at least throw a scare into or possibly even defeat San Antonio in the first round. Denver will run circles around them, OKC the same thing. Maybe the Lakers win a game or two but eventually those teams go off... moretoo old, too slow... Hopefully the Lakers can at least throw a scare into or possibly even defeat San Antonio in the first round. Denver will run circles around them, OKC the same thing. Maybe the Lakers win a game or two but eventually those teams go off on spurts and run the Lakers off the floor. One writer said management asked D'Antoni to start Gasol when he came back so they knew exactly what they had - keep or trade him. Well? It seems the answer is in... Earl Clark's numbers may have been down but he was doing a lot of hustle work that Gasol simply can't do anymore. Jamison's hand injury is a killer since Meeks is the only other 3 point threat and he's off/on every 3 games or so... so now you've got 3 defenders packing the middle and swiping at Dwight as soon as he touches the ball... less

LouASSNO WAY they beat ANYBODY if they make the playoffs. I just don't see them doing ANY DAMAGE if they get there. Also don't forget to add Ron Artest InTheMix of new injuries to the team. Lakers needed to make trades when they had a chance, but Now that ... moreNO WAY they beat ANYBODY if they make the playoffs. I just don't see them doing ANY DAMAGE if they get there. Also don't forget to add Ron Artest InTheMix of new injuries to the team. Lakers needed to make trades when they had a chance, but Now that they haven't They are FUCKED. With the new 3 Billion dollars they recieved(from timeWarner) you would think they would have done deals during the middle of this season with the way things HAVE GONE SO FUCKEN BAD FOR THEM!!!!
LouASS: Congratulations to the MIAMI HEAT in breaking the All-TIme Consecutive Winning Streak record of 33 games held by the L.A. Lakers back in the 1971-72 season.

I know they have currently a winning streak of 26 Games, BUT WANT TO BE THE FIRST to say THEY WILL BREAK THE RECORD, Although I am not Happy about it.

I think the ONLY team that has a chance is the Spurs when Miami meets them this Sunday in San Antonio, But think the HEAT will win their 30th straight there. The Only team I think that can beat them at this point is the NUGGETS who have won 15 straight other than them they seem unbeatable and will win their 2nd straight championship like I predicted back in December.

While you're at it you should go ahead and put up those inevitable series of posts/replies where you rant about about how you were right... "check out my post on such and such date in such and such place"

was just wondering why the so called waitress lover is always one of the first to request friendship with all new members? might it be that he has no friends outside of this site? had nothing important to think about haha
