So I was like, “Why are the Charlotte Bobcats doing so well?”
Answer? Two words.
Ramon Sessions.
And what are with all the jersey changes this year?
Just because the end of the world is coming this year DOESN’T MEAN that we can just let go of our understanding of stylishness and fashion.
Really? All it says is just “CATS”?
What, are they all going to come out and preform a number from the musical cats? Can you imagine Ramon Sessions and Brendan Haywood singing Allegorical Cats? Really guys? It’s gotten just plain silly now. The Lakers might as well have a big lake on their jerseys if this is how we’re looking at things now.
The Lakers should have kept Ramon Sessions…we’d be doing a lot better than we are now. That’s for sure.
But I’m happy that he is at least on a winning team. He at least deserves that much.
You want to know what sucks about living in Hawaii? All the games are on early in the AM. I woke up to the Heat already having beaten the Knicks. UGH.
You think a girl could catch a break and watch some basketball…
but I’m up for the Mavericks vs Lakers game and thank god!
I’m just SO happy the Lakers can keep up the points with Kobe having been out for 5 games because of his shin.
I mean the Lakers have won almost all the games they’ve played without Kobe. Hopefully this game against the Mavs will be straight win #4.
The Mavs swept the Lakers last year during the playoffs so this win would be just that much more sweet!
The worst NBA bench in the league but they’ve been giving it their all.
And some great fakes by Kidd.
And I’m glad the Heat finally broke through with a win against the Knicks.
Especially since Carmelo made 42 points today. He’s had a lot of high scoring games lately.
The Knicks would’ve had the game today since their shooting percentage was only slightly lower than the Heat AND they had a higher 3 point shooting percentage but again what kills it most times is the ability to keep up a decent free throw percentage.
Some highlights for you guys who were like me and missed the game.
And Gundy’s rant of Flopping. Shumpert just SHOVED Jones! And Carmelo did the same thing to Lebron.
Back to the Lakers, if the Mavericks lose today then it’ll be a 3 way tie for 6th, 7th and 8th place. They really need to make a last effort push in order to win these final games before the playoffs. They have a couple days before their last game so it’ll give them some time to practice before they have to start the playoffs.
I just don’t know how it’s a 1 point game at this point because the shooting percentages for the Lakers are horrible.
Mavericks Shooting Percentages
FGM-A = 47.9%
3PM-A = 60.0%
FTM-A = 90.9%
compared to the Lakers
Lakers Shooting Percentages
FGM-A = 42.3%
3PM-A = 30.8%
FTM-A = 78.3%
Dirk has been having a hard time today though, as it stands right now he’s shooting 7 for 22 and Bynum is 8 for 21. Sessions is killing it though!
But I can’t have a blog without it being somewhat informative so here it is!
We all know Kobe has been out because of his left shin injury from that game against the Hornets but here’s some more information about the injury.
It’s actually called TENOSYNOVITIS.
“Tenosynovitis is inflammation of the lining of the sheath that surrounds a tendon (the cord that joins muscle to bone). The synovium is a lining of the protective sheath that covers tendons. Tenosynovitis is inflammation of this sheath.”
It occurs most commonly in the hands, wrist and feet but can also occur wherever there is a tendon sheath.
Why does this injury affect Kobe and why is he out?
Well, this not only causes difficulty in the movement of joints but it also causes redness, swelling and pain in the joint area. It’s better to rest Kobe for the playoffs rather than to risk injuring him any further. Any cuts in the area might also lead to infection which would require immediate surgery.
The only thing Kobe and the Lakers need to watch out for is that with treatment recovery should not be a problem but if the injury and swelling was due to an overuse of the joint and the product of a repeated activity there is a chance that Tenosynovitis will come back which is not good news.
Tied game with 1.5 seconds left.
OVERTIME!
THANK GOD DIRK IS GETTING OLD! FUCK YEAH! HE’S MISSED 17 SHOTS!
“The only people who are unhappy about this is the 40 people who have to come in in about 4 hours to change the floor for the Kings game today”.
I’m sorry I’ve been MIA BUT it only took my most hated team to be defeated by my home team to get me to write again!
That’s right! I was at the last Clippers vs Lakers game and guess what bitches?!
LAKERS WON! Because they are THE SHIT!
Who cares if we were leading by 14 or just 1 point. The fact of the matter is that we were leading because that’s what we do.
You ask and the Lakers deliver!
I need to order me a custom Ramon Sessions jersey! FUCK THIS GAME WAS TENSE!
Thank God I had some loyal Lakers fans by my side to cheer everyone on!
Kobe and Bynum KILLED IT TONIGHT! And I am SO proud of my Ramon Sessions! We all forgive you for your missed free throw shot…some of us even saw it coming BUT ALL IS FORGIVEN!
I am getting a Sessions jersey THIS INSTANT!
Lakers have got the best 2 out of 3 against the Clippers. The last game I went to was the first of the three so I’m glad to see the Lakers close the deal on this! What was the number one business motto that everyone should remember?
ABC! Always be closing! That’s right bitches!
We closed on the mother fuckin Clippers!
And how many 3 pointers did CP3 make? Oh…wait just 1. FAIL.
But Caron Butler stepped up his game tonight! He was on fire! Leading scorer for the Clippers tonight with 28 points!
There were some messy ass plays with some certain people missing slam dunks…but the Lakers won and that is all that really matters.
Bynum had 36 and Bryant had 31. Victory is so…so sweet when it’s against a wannabe team trying to take over LA. Get the fuck out of Staples Center and LA because this is OUR TOWN. There’s only room for ONE show and we all know who I’m talking about!
Our shooting percentages were all above the Clippers but that’s normal. Nothing surprising about that there. Wait…did you REALLY think the Clippers would have 7 straight wins? I think not.
Full highlights of tonight’s game. I love being a Lakers fan…it’s days like this where Kobe is 13 for 19 that make going to games SO worth it!
Who cares if Blake Griffin dunked over Pau Gasol. Dunking does not get you far in life. We can only see so many highlights of the same shit every night. That was so 2 years ago.
Does this idiot even know what “posterizes” means?
Definition: to print an image using only a few shades of gray, characteristic of posters
So…let me get this straight. Blake Griffin printed a gray image of Pau Gasol? on Pau Gasol?
RETARD OF THE DAY!
There were some HORRIBLE calls tonight too. A fucking technical on Sessions? for what?
And don’t you mean a foul on Kobe and not Ron Artest who was no where near ANYTHING! Refs are stupid as shit.
But it didn’t end up mattering because the Lakers are King.
Because Mark and I started talking about possible trades and what the Lakers were going to do if anything so I thought it would be a good opportunity to see what other people think is going to happen.
So the Lakers either need a Point Guard or a Small Forward. (More a Point Guard, but yeah).
The Lakers need to make this happen! We still have our $9 million trade exception we got from trading Lamar Odom. So we scared off DH (Center), we REALLY don’t want Steve Nash. Best possible option? That’s right!
Trading with the Celtics
Scary to think of but it’d be perfect. Who’s our top choice? Rajon Rondo.
The Lakers are also considering Johnny Flynn and Ramon Sessions.
Other options are getting Allen Iverson back into the NBA (he has been aching for some cash and I’d LOVE to see him on the Lakers, for my own personal reasons) and Gilbert Arenas (meh).
I love you Derek Fisher but the Lakers need to get rid of you AND Ron Artest. Sad but true. The Lakers might end up trading Pau Gasol as well.
What might go down:
Lakers trading Pau Gasol & Darius Morris & Mavericks #1 pick FOR Celtics Rajon Rondo and Jermaine O’ Neal
Lakers trading Pau Gasol & Matt Barnes & Darius Morris & Lakers #1 pick & Mavericks #1 pick FOR Celtics Rajon Rondo and Paul Pierce
Along with trading the Lakers TPE for Jermaine O’ Neal
Lakers trading Pau Gasol FOR Timberwolves Derrick Williams & Future Draft Picks
Lakers giving up cash & future draft picks FOR Timberwolves Michael Beasley
Lakers giving up either Pau Gasol or Andrew Bynum FOR Nets Deron Williams
Let’s just make something awesome happen! Come on Lakers!
So I was like, “Why are the Charlotte Bobcats doing so well?”
