Meanwhile... what has happened to Houston? Such a weird team. It's amazing they've made it work. It seems like their strategy is to let Lin go nuts when Harden is off the floor, but when Harden is on the floor, let Lin stay off to the side. But hey, it's starting to work somehow.

Yes. Kobe doesn't fit, AT ALL, with Steve Nash.
Why did Michael NEVER have a point guard? B.J. Armstrong, Steve Kerr...both small shooting guards. Pippen brought up the ball (or Jordan). The Lakers would be a 50 win team, at least, with Steve Nash, Dwight Howard, and a shooter like Ray Allen and a dime a dozen slash guy. Kobe is a direct conflict to the entire flow of that offense...and renders what they should be doing (pick and roll with Nash and Howard) completely moot. Kobe has to get his, so the offense will never have a flow...and we know they aren't ever going to play defense. I said when this all happened they'd be a total bust this year based on the premise that Nash and Kobe don't make any damn sense. They still don't...and now they...they suck. The suck with Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol, and someone who likes like a shitty version of Ron Artest. Why? Because this shit never works. A Kobe can't play with certain players like a LeBron...LeBron would fit with everyone because he doesn't need the ball to be the best player on the planet like Kobe...Kobe will never work with a PG. So dumb. |

Kobe is scoring over 30 points a game with Nash, for the first time in 6 years, and having his best FG% ever...

not even bashing Kobe
I recognize he's having a great individual season but he's the one part of that team that makes no sense. You either build around Kobe, or you build around a system. They have a good system in place with D'antoni, Nash, Howard...and Kobe totally contradicts it. So they either should get rid of Nash and Howard, or trade Kobe for youth and a few amazing three point shooters. |

I don't think the majority of the problems with the Lakers is their starting rotation it is their bench or lack of. They probably have the worst bench in the NBA.

They are scoring basically over 100 each night but giving up 110.
It's not the offense. It's the defense and communication that are maddening. They have 3 very good on the ball defenders in Howard, MWP and Kobe. The problem is they don't rotate, they don't talk and they have no coaches who can teach defensive tendencies.

Not that I don't disagree with you about D'Antoni and his defense. |

I've admitted that LeBron is probably the best basketball player ever (though he'll never be Michael since Michael was always super human in the clutch time after time, especially in the playoffs and especially in the finals) when are you going to admit that Kobe is nowhere near in LeBron's league...and even at the PEAK of his career he was nowhere close to where LeBron has been the last two years? Ever? Still waiting for two defining Kobe Bryant playoff moments...1 defining Finals moment where you were like "wow, Kobe is unstoppable!" Because I can name about 30 Michael playoff moments and 20 Michael Finals moments... I can talk about the time Kobe was 6-24 and was totally carried by his teammates...that's probably his finest Finals moment, sadly. |

By Herald news services Yahoo! Sports NBA writer Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting on Twitter that the Sacramento Kings are in the final stages of being sold to a Seattle-led ownership group, with the goal of having the team play at Key Arena for the 2013-14 season. Former Seattle P-I columnist Art Thiel, who now owns and operates SportspressNorthwest.com, also confirmed the report through an unnamed elected Seattle city official. The Maloof brothers, who own the Kings, are said to be close to selling the team to a group led by Chris Hansen and Steve Ballmer for nearly $500 million. Hansen has been in talks with the City of Seattle for months about building a new basketball/hockey arena south of downtown near CenturyLink Field and Safeco Field, where the Seahawks, Sounders and Mariners play. While the deal isn't done, Wojnarowski says on Twitter, "one source describes deal as '1st and goal at 1.' Maloofs history of changing course late still makes many uneasy." The original Sonics franchise left the city in 2008 and became the Oklahoma City Thunder. Please check back throughout the day for more updates.

Lakers looking like their normal shitty self. Down by 10 to the Spurs and back to back T's.
Kobe with 2 long bombs for three though but horrible possessions. |
