PrintI stink at this. Everytime I think I have all the good stuff nailed down and publish the post, I check twitter and find a few more things that make the cut. Here's what I found this morning:
Countdown to Christmas: A window into Kobe Bryant - Los Angeles Lakers Blog - ESPN Los Angeles
Ramona writes about Kobe Bryant. Yes, I'm hurt as well. But this is good and who's better than Ramona right now?
Billups Can Imagine Clippers Future " NBA.com Scott Howard-Cooper. I had this in my queue but somehow missed it. (Another Son had it as a fanshot so not too bad), but here Chauncey Billups suggests the possibilty of extending with the Clips. It's good to be here in Clipper-vana.
The Clippers have taken over Los Angeles, and Lakers fans are in a panic - It appears I'm going to have to overlook the fact that Mark Heisler is working with Chris Sheridan. But this is Heisler on the Clips and I'm a sucker for that.
Kenyon Martin leaving Chinese team - Yahoo! Sports Adrian Wojnarowski writes about Kenyon Martin who won't be able to sign with an NBA team until after the Chinese season ends.

From the Mark Heisler piece
I know, it’s the inscription on the Statue of Liberty. They’re also thinking of inscribing it on the statue of Blake Griffin and Chris Paul going up outside Staples Center to welcome Laker fans fleeing the oppression of paying $2,700 to sit courtside for geriatric basketball.
Zing!!

Latest word is Kobe not playing tonight
torn ligaments in his wrist from the fall the other night.

Kobe Bryant has a torn lunotriquetral ligament in his R wrist, the Lakers announced. He will not play tonight vs. Clippers & is day-to-day

Fault
It is surely David Stern’s fault. :-)

Better pull off that DEbanks/DMorris for Deron Williams trade

If they need a back up 2, maybe when they get Dwight
they can include Reddick. I mean getting a young bynum is easily worth Dwight and Reddick.
And they would love to have us believe that Andrew is worth Dwight. Every time they try to make that argument, I just start laughing.

maybe casual fans, but most of the people on SS&R
are pretty realistic.

saw that too, haha
at least the comments were reasonable. I try not to bash other teams fans, cause that’s just classless, but sometimes these trade proposals come up just far too often…
lol...look at the responding comments though...

Please tell me this is a joke?
“Young Bynum”. Too bad he has the durability of a 90 year old. Bynum is overrated and over valued, he barely hits top 5 centers even WHEN he is healthy. Marc Gasol, Dwight, Al Horford, and Al Jefferson are better than him.
.......yes
thought it was ridiculous enough, haha.
I would say
Noah is better than Bynum. Kaman used to be better, but at this point, he just isn’t a huge factor anymore. Chandler is a toss up, because he is definitely in better shape and a better athlete, but he doesn’t seem to have great skill (i.e. scoring and making moves)
Easily!
Why would anyone believe this isn’t a fair trade. Hell maybe you can ask for some cash back as well since your offer is so good.

He just doesn't want to play against Reggie
He was reviewing old tape of Reggie v Kaman

Will Reggie suit up?
seems like there probably some “i’s to cross, and t’s to dot” or however it goes.
Sucks Leslie and Bled still can’t go, they’re who I’m probably most curious in seeing in some exhibition action.
Even with Kobe out
this is our final preseason game and we need to stay focused and put the pedal to the metal.
"Who wants a free Sharpie?"
True,
But it’ll be nice to rest the starters a bit earlier?
Last time our starters didn’t play the entire 4th quarter and Kobe and his folks.
by lovinglosangeles on Dec 21, 2011 12:33 PM PST up reply actions
CP3 and Billups sat out the 4th
I think that’s enough. Six quarters still isn’t enough.

yea
maybe the Lakers D will actually try this game. Seemed like they were just going through the motions last game. Who is Kobe’s backup now with Shannon gone though? Kapono? or play Barnes at the 2, and World Peace starting?
I would think they should start Morris
They need some legs in the back-court.
If they start just Fisher + Blake, I’ll feel bad for them..
Yeah, Mason and Ireland were suggesting last night
makes sense to me.

SMH at these guys trying to break out of their Chinese contracts
They knew the risks when signing it. It was stated up front, no opt-out. They made their decision, they should follow through with it like men should do.
Acting like spoiled brats.

It is scary to see key players already going down
Kobe, Curry, Darrell Arthur. . .lets be good sports and hope for a speedy recovery for all, pray the Clips stay healthy.

I don't like beating up on the Lakers without Kobe
Prefer to beat on them with him around.

We did that already on Monday
We have nothing to prove at this point. We should play our bench the majority of the game. If we beat the Lakers with our bench – even without Kobe – it will bolster their confidence immensely. And that is a good thing right before the start of the regular season.

It's not about proof
it’s about 8 quarters to prepare for a season. We need to play our starters minutes to get them in synch no matter how good they look against the Lakers.

Agreed - the starters need to play IMO

I'm going to miss
that SG we used to have, guarding Kobe. Always was a fun matchup to watch.
Monday and today
Don’t want to gloat but if Monday’s game was ugly when Kobe playing, imagine tonight’s.

Who knows, maybe they will do better.
Clips should use this time to work on plays and sets. Not care about the win.

per Dave McMenamin
Derek Fisher and Devin Ebanks will start tonight vs. the Clippers, coach Mike Brown said at shootaround
interesting
weird combination. Starting Ebanks, makes me think that, okay it’s just preseason, so maybe they want to see what he’s got, but putting him in with Fisher makes me wonder if Ebanks even edged out World Peace in the rotation. I’ve always liked Ebanks. I guess if those are the new starters, than that means Barnes will be the 2 in place of Kobe?
They were talking Barnes/EBanks over Meta last week
I guess this is how they figure that out.

A Laker blogger at Silver Screen and Roll blamed DeAndre for going at him so hard
in a preseason game after the game was already decided.
"Who wants a free Sharpie?"
Tell the blogger to go screw himself or herself. DJ only blocked the shot. Kobe came down hard and that’s how he got hurt— when he landed.

DJ did his job and went for a block
there was no malicious intent. Kobe just happened to fall badly.

Maybe if Kobe didn't push off with his off hand
He would have landed on his feet instead
Not just that
But if you watch the replay, Kobe is the one who knocked himself off balance by trying to push DJ off with his off arm. All he does is knock himself off balance. The play was totally clean, and if anything, should have been an offensive foul.
we need chemistry
I would like to see blake take a jumpshot that looks like he is prepared for, instead of dribbling and trying to create. Last game we just used our talent, today we should start running some set plays and start to feel out our offense. Lots of things to still work out with this team.

He does look a bit out of sorts
Don’t think it’s lack of desire because he’s wired the opposite of that even in pre-season. Chemistry is key.

Those who shall not be named jerseys are all on clearance at Staples
felt a little tug on my heart and then I saw a CP3 shirt and forgot their names.

I'm so impatient right now
I need more Clippers news….. Evans was a great signing but I think we need a tall big man, a guy like Dan Gadzuric.

I love this
exchange on ESPn regarding Kobe’s injury:
so the lakers will start the season with…
no kobe
no odom
no bynum
and mike brown as the head coach

I see an 0-5 or 1-4 start.

Heisler's article
There is just so much wrong with this article. It’s all supposition and conspiracy; almost unreadable. He’s essentially saying it’s absolute fact that there’s a conspiracy against the Lakers and that Stern is the devil. And the comment that NOH needs 30-something players is just laughable.
Heisler lost it a few years ago
Still like him over Simers and miss he’s annual letter to DTS

By the way,
Reggie Evans overall in 2k12 is a 60, a 77 in defense, and the best part, a 99 in rebounding!

00 would look more appropriate
be cool if the nut grabbing would be his unique animation.
Do they have the latest rosters up for download? About to pick 2k12 up this week.

Yupp
Most of the rookies are in the game. Trey and Travis are not in the game yet…. what’s the hold up!?

Is it possible to get the update for 2k11?
I remember that when I bought it, they were suppose to have live roster updates? But I haven’t had an update since the trade deadline in February?
Sorry, No more updates for 2k11
You’re gonna have to get 2k12 to stay updated.

Aww man
I always assumed that the updates carried over every year, but I’m not willing to dish out 40$ for the same game with new rosters. Thanks for the answer
No problem my brotha

Guess the Kings are happy with their bigs and wont be trading any away
ESPN’s Marc Stein reports that the Rockets have signed Samuel Dalembert to a two-year deal.
