LOL funny comments above. As a "quiet" one, I agree with the posts above. We handle our business. :-)

These guys go into the league, get paid millions of dollars to play a sport and still can't get it together. It's hard for those of us who have to work the 9 to 5's to feel sorry for him. If he had anyone around him with just a little bit of intelligence, they might want to let him know that drugs only worsen a mental health condition.

Dude...You're Courtney Lee...enough said. Shut up and be grateful you can play in the NBA.

How old is this guy, 50? And still in the league? Wow!

He'd fit right in at Boston's AARP club.

NOTE TO AGENTS: Don't **** with Buss.

Somebody skipped his meds today.

Posted Friday July 31, 2009, About: Jonah Hill annoyed Phil Jackson

He looks like one of them annoying dorks who asks a million stupid questions...I can hear it now "what's a foul?", "why is he so upset", "what's travelling", "why is your chair so high", "why can't your colors be pink and yellow" yada yada yada. He does look annoying. Maybe it's just his looks.

That's funny...both Parker and Ginobili are hurt buddy and you're still as old as you were last year.

Posted Thursday July 30, 2009, About: GM: Lakers vulnerable without Odom

Don't get me wrong, I think Lamar is a great player and we are definitely a better team with him. HOWEVER, Lamar doesn't make or break this team. The Lakers will still be the team to be next year. If you've watched the Lakers for the past two years, you'd know that aside from all of Lamar's talent, he was known more for disappearing in key games than being the dominant player he became in the playoffs. Just look back at the 07-08 finals. Where was he then?

I think part of his "coming out party" during this year's playoffs was due to the fact that he knew this was a contract year. Jerry Buss and the Lakers have been through the frustration of dealing with a complacent Lamar and I agree with their stance on the contract offer. As a die-hard Laker fan, I can think of so many times I wanted to go through the TV and choke Lamar for being so Lax on the floor. He frustrated the crap out of me.

If the real Lamar is about winning, then he'll take the Lakers offer and stay on a winning team as the leader of their bench. If Lamar is about ego and appearance, then he'll go start in Miami, make less money, and enjoy longer summers. At this point, most Laker fans aren't as supportive as we used to be because we're tired of the diva behavior. Only 1 Laker can get away with being a diva and that's #24 because without him, we're nothing (#24). Without Lamar, we're still at the top.

That's funny! NO!... you need a whole lot more to get out of the East now. This isn't 2006.

Posted Wednesday July 29, 2009, About: Heat putting full-court press on Odom

No matter how you put it, the Miami offer doesn't add up to the Lakers offer. He can get paid and possibly win another championship with L.A. coming off the bench or he can choose to go to Miami where they'll be a lottery team after Wade leaves next year, be a starter, average 20+ points, and enjoy long summers. It's just a matter of what he really wants.

Posted Tuesday July 28, 2009, About: D-Wade recruiting Odom for Heat

Wade is in L.A. because he has a piece of **** there, not to bring LO back to Miami. Riley is in L.A. because he owns a home there. That's it folks. Lamar isn't dumb enough to go to a potential lottery team after next year when he has an opportunity to be on a championship team for years to come.

Posted Monday July 27, 2009, About: Nets, Pistons, Hornets still interested in Davis

Why? That's all I can say...WHY?

Posted Monday July 27, 2009, About: Chris Paul OK with Hornets roster

Either he's giving the politically correct answer or he's really stupid enough to believe they can content with the current team. I'm hoping it's the former because I really like CP3.

Posted Thursday July 23, 2009, About: How T-Wolves may land Rubio

I really hope this kid is as good as advertised because he sure is making a huge hoopla over his signing. I watched him play in the Olympics and he's pretty good and very fancy but I doubt he can get away with those moves with defensive players like there are in the NBA. Euro ball is a finesse game while NBA is hardball.

Posted Thursday July 23, 2009, About: Lakers, Odom talking again

I agree that Lamar is an important part of this team and he needs the Lakers just as much as they need him but your comment about their inability to repeat without Ariza is a little over the top. I loved Ariza and thought he was great for us but Artest is an improvement at the same position simply because of his added toughness. They both bring a similar game to the floor with Artest being much more physical for players like Carmelo and Artest who smoked Ariza in the playoffs.

You must be joking!

Posted Tuesday July 21, 2009, About: Why Nash re-signed with Suns

I can't even believe I'm writing this but I actually agree with you. Who else would pay Nash that much money? No one.

Posted Tuesday July 21, 2009, About: Boozer closer to Heat trade?

It would be a beautiful thing to see him in Miami but it certainly doesn't make them a automatic contender, maybe a 4 seed. Most importantly, they can't afford both Boozer and Lamar so LO would have to stay in L.A. where he belongs.

Posted Monday July 20, 2009, About: Shaq to star in own TV show

Nothing wrong with that. He's setting up his future cuz he knows he's done in basketball in about another year.
