McGrady is out .
Again.

And our schedule is absolutely horrid. Were in trouble.

WTF? Toronto won???

That's blasphemous!

Cool thing about two LA teams sharing the same place... they can both play at home on the same day. Kinda weird how they played eachother on Friday night, then the next day the play they're both home, but against different teams. I'd like to see a fast-forward transformation of that (as well as a B-Ball to Ice transformation that they do sometimes as well).

But ya, to the main point... Lakers lost, again. Kobe got 43 but nobody else is stepping up. Kinda sad. Heck, even my fiance, a lifelong Laker fan was even rooting for the Bulls by the end.

I saw a fast forward video of the dudes laying down the parquet floor at the FleetCenter (or something Garden, whatever its called now) for a night Celtics game after a day Bruins game.
It was interesting, kind of.

The Celtics lost tonight--to the Hawks.

...

lmao... damn that sucks. Is that their first win of the season now?

Hopefully that doesn't happen to the Clips tonight against the Raptors... down by a little right now for some reason. You really gotta step your game up against teams like them, because they're the ones who can make you look the worst at times like these (in first place, and all). Or something...

I was hoping the Raps would pull it out. This might be the only time I actually root for Toronto.

Alas, they collapsed. Clips win.

Good times... 9-2. Next up, C. Melo and the Nuggets. That'll be a tough one, mainly due to the elevation.

Oh and uhhhh... they have the biggest first place lead in either division/conference.

Clippers still haven't played any good teams, though. Next 5 games look a little tougher so we'll see if they're for real or not.

Golden State, Washington and the T-Wolve's aren't good? A Win's a win.

Golden State: Doing well but in the same boat as the Clips: they're untested, and when up against a good team like the Spurs, they get thrashed.

Washington: See above, except better, but still nowhere among the league's best.

Minnesota: Hit or miss team, can be good, but this year features less talent than last year... or the year before... and also belong in that category of nowhere near the best.

OMG I JUST CHECKED NBA SCORES AND REALIZED THE LAKERS ACTUALLY WON TONIGHT!!!!!

Yeesh.

If the Rockets fall 10 games below 500, they are done. Itll be tough to get in the playoffs this year in the West.

Rockets won't go anywhere unless T-Mac is healthy. They're a pretty 1 dimensional team.

Well.....duh.
Hes one of the top 5 players in the game....take Garnett of the Wolves, they suck, take Kobe out the Lakers, they suck (more), etc.

Im watching us play right now.

We are easily the worst fucking team in the league. Seriously, the Hawks and Hornets are better.

Just like I can look at the Lakers and say "at least we're not Houston," you can look at the Rockets and say "at least we're not Toronto."
