It is happening. Hack-a-Dwight worked beautifully. This is embarassing against the Magic.

The Lakers show absolutely no sense of urgency especially on D, hence no easy transition baskets. Actually offense is very predictable as well, Kobe using picks or going ISO. Kobe does it well but nothing else going on for the rest of the team. Might as make it a two man game all the time. :shake:

The Lakers perimeter defense gives up open lanes too easy, giving pretty much no time for the frontcourt to recover. Quite awful.

Huge win for the Magic, a measure of revenge for the former teammates who no doubt felt alienated by Howard and his indecision during the past 12 months, not to mention the fans.

Dwight is just pathetic to listen to or look at. That interview last season after he asked SVG to be fired, being confronted by the media with SVG present in front of him, showed a lot about what he really is about. He kept putting on that fake "fun guy" look on his face like it was all good. Doesnt have the balls to stand behind what he says neither does he take accountability for being a piss poor FT shooter.

He doesnt show remorse for the fact that he made the whole organization his bitch by giving mixed messages about staying or leaving, getting them to fire the coach, bringing down his trade value by threatening to leave.

He was again all smile and having fun while the Lakers were up by a few points. Then the Magic made a late run to take the lead and started to fouling him, his smile disappeared and became all serious. As if he was underestimating the Magic and was embarrassed when losing became a reality. The Magic were like "who's smiling now, bitch" at the end of the game. Lol.

I love the Portland's bench reaction as much as I love the dunk.

Good looking dunk but he was barely challenged at all. Just glanced Aldridge's body who tried to sell the charge call and ended up looking destitute laying on the ground.

Your team's bench appreciated this dunk more than you do.

Rondo went to Mexico while on suspension. Not exactly contrite now.

When David Stern and the NBA suspended Rajon Rondo for two games following a fight/pushing match with Kris Humphries and the Brooklyn Nets, he didn’t exactly go back to his room and think about what he had done wrong.

Instead, he went to Mexico.

That’s what he told reporters, you can see the CSNNE.com video above. He said he watched the games on television, but he just wanted to get away for a few days. And upon his return he isn’t exactly contrite.

Did you learn anything from the suspension?

“No.”


If I'm Doc Rivers and the Celtics, I'm not particularly thrilled.

I thought the Bulls' home loss to a Granger-less Pacers team in which they scored a measly 76 points was pretty embarrassing, but yeah, I'd say the Heat have the dubious honour of the day's worst loss.

No matter how many times I watched that video, was still sure I was looking at the Portland bench. Oh well.

Watch which bench the team walks to after the time-out's called.

As for Micky Arison's reaction to today's loss... this should sum it up.

What made the dunk good wasn't the flop challenge it was the distance from where he jumped, from inside the circle. About 9 feet.
