Lakers Lose?! Inconceivable!

@Brazil Thrill: Meh - I can deal with Marvin, he's actually productive. If we had Paul, we wouldn't have had Roy and pretty definitely not Horford or Law.

"You can say we're not getting better because we haven't won games, but I think over the last couple of weeks we have gotten better as a basketball team."

Am I going mad, or did I just hear the word "think" escape your lips. You were not hired for your brains...

You didn't use the "freakish misery" line on Sam Cassell? That's more restraint than I could muster.

@Brazil Thrill:

When I get mad about the Rob Babcock era, I always figure if he hadn't been such a disaster they wouldn't have brought in Colangelo...although Iguodala and Granger instead of Araujo and Joey Graham in 2005 might have been some solid components to go with Bosh and Calderon.

@The Gentleman Masher: Just try to imagine the current Hawks with Brandon Roy and sans Shelden Williams. That's a very good team, right?

How about this: Try to imagine the current roster with Chris Paul and subtract Marvin Williams. It's enough to make you want to hit Billy Knight in the head with a lead pipe.

A hurt finger shouldn't bother Kobe too much. He does have 6 of them, after all.

The Gentleman Masher — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 10:22:30 EST

While I enjoyed watching Al Horford shove Pau Gasol around last night, I can't forget that the Hawks traded Gasol for Shareef-Abdur Rahim.

That goes right up there with drafting Shelden Williams instead of Brandon Roy.

Cassel going to the Celtics would make as much sense as Shaq going to Phoenix, so look for it to happen by the end of the week.

Brazil Thrill — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 10:22:04 EST

2001: The Atlanta Hawks take Pau Gasol in the NBA Draft. They then trade him to the Grizzlies of Vancouver in exchange for Shareef-Abdur Rahim.
2004: The Atlanta Hawks have a fire sale, and trade Rahim to the Trailblazers of Portland. They don't get much back.
2008: Angered by the fact that Pau Gasol has been traded for almost nothing again, the Hawks decide to stomp that ass and beat the Lakers at Phillips Arena.

Oh, and Zaza Pachulia kind of looks like Boo Berry.

Off topic:

What I love is that Matt has been doing NBA Closer's for a while now and every day his intro has a completely different theme. Rob Weintraub on the other hand did his once a week, and left the same dated intro for us to mock or snore through.

Thank you Matt for making this interesting.

I liked LeBron's quote from yesterday's espn article.
"As long as I'm healthy, we're going to give ourselves a chance to win," he said. "No matter who is out on the court with me."

So....why isn't Kidd a Cav yet? lol

Agreed, that Suns-Hornets game was the visual equivalent of a freezer full of Snickers ice cream, if such a thing exists.
