  8. ipad anyone?

    I'm on it right now. If you think it's a big iPod touch then you are mistaken. You need to try it out. It's pretty sweet.

     

    It's faster than i thought. The screen is beautiful. Many great apps. I was on it a lot yesterday and today and my battery is still half charged. Reading on it is pretty sweet too. And it's easy to take everywhere.

     

    Unless absolutely necessary I don't even need to use my laptop anymore. Before this I was always on my iPhone anyways.

  14. Sacramento @ L.A. Lakers

    Im really sick of playing 30 minutes of mediocre basketball then flipping the switch for one half trying to come back from a huge deficit, it always ends up going to the wire and Kobe having to bail us out. We cant seriously think this kind of effort will be good enough against better teams in the NBA, it didnt work against the Cavs and wont work against any contender. Ron is usually the hungriest guy on the court, cause he didnt get a ring with us last year, but yeah, we are way too complacent.

     

    Also im sick of mediocre teams playing the game of their lives just so they can get a win against the defending champions. We really do have a target on our back, you can see it when we go on the road where fans go crazy and at home when players on the bench act like they just won the NBA finals after they get a big lead. The bottom line is we are playing down to their level and it gives them confidence. We ended up outscoring them by 16 in the 2nd half. Im glad Kobe celebrated right in front of their bench, they were acting like douchebags all night.

     

    And its nice to see Kobe add to his league lead in scoring, and improve on the number 1 overall record as a team, but this kind of play cannot continue. There is 48 minutes to a game, not 24.

    Agreed with everything, especially the Sacramento bench reacting on every made basket like it was the Finals. That stuff got pretty annoying pretty quickly. Final minutes and key points of the game that stuff is fine, but the WHOLE game?

     

    I was a little annoyed with Cassipi and Hawes yelling and pumping their chest on every play while they were in the game as well. That's more understandable since they were actually doing something. I guess i wouldn't have been as annoyed with them if it weren't for their bench. Oh well.

     

    Maybe I was just annoyed because we played like hot donkey rear end. That's the more likely reason. Fisher couldn't hit crap and our defense most of the game was reminiscent of the Mavs game. If we didn't have Kobe we would have lost by 30. Odom started the third quarter well for us and then Kobe finished it. We shouldn't have needed that, though.

  19. New deal for Kobe?

    If Kobe takes more than what he is making now he is a douchebag, he should be signing for 15-18 million so he isn't hurting this team long term to re-sign or add salary if needed.

    How does that make him a douchebag? So every potential free agent coming out this year should just sign with their current team for less money, right? If he earned the payday he should have every right to take it.

     

    That's like saying you shouldn't take a raise your boss is going to give you so that they can use that money to hire another person.

     

    If you choose to take that raise that does not make you a douchebag. You have the right to choose.

  20. Ron Artest vs Trevor Ariza tracker

    First 6 games, last year:

     

    Ariza: 10 PPG - 5.17 RPG - 1.5 APG ~~ 0.52 FG% - 0.55 3P% - 0.55 FT%

     

    Artest: 17 PPG - 5.5 RPG - 2.5 APG ~~ 0.36 FG% - 0.43 3P% - 0.78 FT%

     

    -----

     

    Artest is giving us this year what Ariza gave us last year with more points and more assists. The shooting percentages are pretty far and apart but it flows with what Artest did to start the previous year.

     

    Looking at Artest's stats from last year to this year his percentages have gone way up comparatively and his scoring has gone down which is expected.
