Yeah, holy Zen meltdown, two injections in the past few minutes. I hope none of the Mavs get injured before the game ends. I wonder if the Lakers will be short handed on opening day next year.

One of the most embarrassing things I have seen, except for Kobe they got to blow up the team, get younger and get a few guys that can shoot. Bynum’s a joke, he will never make it as an all-star, trade him while his stock is still semi good.
Just wanted to gloat a little bit for (timidly) calling the Mavs way back when the playoffs started. They are on fire right now. Hopefully the long break until the Western Conf. finals doesn’t kill their mojo.
I wasn’t sure what to think of the Lakers this year. They fattened up on a really awful Pacific division (where the next best team was worse than the bottom of the Southwest) but they can sometimes ‘flip it on’. This time it looks like reality caught up with them.
At half time yesterday in the Lakers / Mavericks game, I found it interesting that so far, Dallas was making .733 of their 3-pointers. Even at practice, if you’re shooting .733 of your 3-pointers that’s incredible too.
Unbelievable loss. 36 points. Bynum is an asshole. Phil Jackson did NOT deserve to be treated like that from his own team.
Whether the Lakers win or lose, expect it to be dramatic.
I think it shows what a coach Jackson has been. Some of the players showed their true colors during that meltdown. To have managed that team and get championships with them, is the kind of achievement that could only have been done by arguably the greatest coach of all time.
