Without the passing. I'm not sure, I haven't seen that guy play in so long.

So if I told you that you did an "ok job" at cooking a meal or cleaning the yard you would take that as praise?

No but my reaction is a testament as to how horrible Sasha Vujacic is at playing defense. :lol:

By out-finesse I meant putting on a move or two and getting around him (Smush that it). The alternative way would be a Lebron approach where you just muscle your way to the basket.

Yeah yeah i know what you mean. Either way, any PG in the NBA can blow by Smush easily no matter how they do it.

Darius Miles is Lamar Odom minus the passing, the finesse, the rebounding, the ability to be coached and the hair. :wink:

Darius Miles=Lamar Odom without passing? Wow, they're both tall and skinny and that's about it. Miles is much more athletic, worse shooter, worse passer, worse ballhandler, worse teammate, worse defender, worse rebounder... Did anyone happen to notice how the emphasis is on the word 'worse'? They are nothing alike and the only teams I can see Miles being traded to are Minesotta (if they don't trade KG) and NY.

lol Sasha's "nagging D"... I like to call "slapping D"

I like Smush defensively on D though... he comes up with a lot of steals, though through gambling, he gets a lot of them

I cant tell the last time I saw this guy play so I really know nothing of his game other than he's skinny and tall. Oh well, he can rote wherever he is.

If you even understood my post you would have known i was implying almost the same thing. The english language is a fairly easy language to grasp and im amazed at your inability to grasp such a thing.

And if you actually saw Miles play, he's not a "WORST ballhandler, rebounder and defender" than lamar. :roll:

Yeah, if only he could bend his knees and not allow his man to blow by him everytime.

What the hell? I didn't say that. That's not even a real sentence. How can be someone 'worst' than someone else :crazy:.

I think he meant the word "WORST" was used incorrectly.

Who do you think should the lakers get in the draft? I was watching the Mockdrafts around the web and I think they need to sign one of these guys.

1st Round:

Rajon Rondo
Kyle Lowry
Jordan Farmar
Guillhermo Diaz

2nd Round:
James White (just for his dunking abbility:D)
Damir Markota
Lior Eliah

After last year I could live with pretty much anyone, my expectations are at rock bottom. I was hoping for a Green/Turiaf/Gomes or Ukic or Blatche draft, awell. No real favourites this time around, I'll take anyone and hope for the best.

Last year I did, this year not so much. Barely any this year actually... mainly because I'm not as interested in the draft, and with my internet I have a download limit so it's a bit restricting.

I think someone posted it as a joke, at least that's what I'm gathering from the posts at IMDB. Triple H of WWE fame is also listed as one of the writers lol.

on a more serious note, i read somewhere that Carlos Boozer is still wanting to play for the lakers. Will the lakers try to acquire him? and if so how would he fit into the triangle?

i'm thinking if they trade for him it'll be so they can try and get garnett so in other words a 3-team trade.

Of course he'd be a good fit. When was the last time Phil Jackson had a PF that can actually finish in the post? Aside from the mailman of course. :lol:

Rodman, Samaki, Kwame, Cook, even Horry and Ho Grant used to miss easy shots in the post.

I remember thinking Samaki would be a good signing because he was putting up decent numbers in limited minutes behind Duncan :shake:
