I think Ebanks played himself out of the rotation against the Knicks. His line was something like 19 minutes 0 pts 2 Reb 1 ast on 0-5 shooting. He has to be more productive than that if he wants PT.

So far so good for the Lakers. I hated the Mike Brown hire at first but I really like how he is running things. They just need to get him a real pg and not a triangle spot up shooter.

bre i'm tired of yo ish man, i told u once and i'll say again i aint gay. me likin kobe's game has nothing 2 do wit this diccusion. u just mad cuz dsa only woman u ever touched is ur momma but don't take it out on me. There is no sense in arguaing with someone ignorent. i thuorghly convinced u r gay cuz evrytime u post its about me, not the players. kobe iz better than durant today, durant's a better scorer but that's it. Just face it and let go of ur love for durant. And lebron will never b better than kobe, not wade, dwight and definatley not dirk nowinski. the most overatted player i've seen. he proves my point with is play recently. call me gay one more time n c wat happens. im the straighest man on earth!!!!!

I'm not sure I've ever called you gay...maybe you are in denial and it's coming out in your replies? Maybe you are just frustrated watching your man crush go 6-28 tonight in another loss.

All I know is if anyone is coming out of this exchange sounding like they are ignorant, it's you. You don't even understand the argument...which is sad. Of course you obviously are a little tike in high school so it's not surprising. You should feel lucky I'm letting your comment about my mom slide...I'm happily married to a woman I met while in college, but you wouldn't know what that is judging from your posts.

Stop writing responses to Stauder. He a big douche( This is the nice way of putting it) and your letting him get in you head is moronic. Rise above it and him because he going to keep being the Stauder that we despise but won't be able to beat on the the BB court. If your straight you don't have to prove a darn thing. Good luck to both of your teams. I won't be looking for this thread again I'm sure. Happy New Year's!

Forget Lob City and L.A. Lakers. It's all about OKC XD

i'm done wit u. u r a grown a man!!!! goodbye

Lakers

So how does everyone think the first(real) game is going to go? I haven't watched much Clips, but they seem to be adjusting pretty well, and that was a nice win over the Heat.

Thoughts on Lakers so far:
Bynum looked great his first couple of games back, but has gotten too passive since then.
MWP had a hot start to the season but hasn't played well recently.
McRoberts has played well when healthy, same with Murphy, Blake, and Kapono.
Barnes is playing amazing.
Pau has been consistently good, needs to step up when Kobe is having an off night though.
Kobe has been Kobe.
Home wins are great, but let's prove it on the road too.

I thought it proved a lot for the Clippers. They just came off of a nice win against the Heat and then they beat the Lakers and are starting to win over even more people. The clips still dont have enough depth in their line up to be a championship contender i dont think but they are a very good playoff contender. As for the Lakers, whether you love or hate kobe, you have to admit that he is playing his A+ game right now and is clearly carrying the team. I believe the big problem that lakers have though, is that kobe doesnt get any help from his PG's and SF's. His bigs are doing decent but kobe cant carry them the whole year so some one needs to help kobe out in the backcourt ASAP. I betcha they are wishing they had CP3 right now.

i think that the clips definitely hae an edge right now cause of the game last night where they werent losing for the entire game but kobe is playing great right now. because of the condensed season though, i think kobe will eventually get fatigue and lose his dominance that he has right now and then the lakers will go down

As a Lakers fan I can handle Barnes starting. He is producing. The bigs aren't getting enough touches but when kobe has it going like this what are you going to do. They aren't going to out produce him so just let him shoot. What i can't take is Fish playing more than 10 minutes a night. He is a spot up shooter, period. He cant stay in front of anyone defensively, he doesn't make good decisions with the ball, and doesnt get people (mostly the bigs, like it matters with Kobe) the ball in positions they can effectively score from. His running the point essentially boils down to him passing the ball to Kobe as quickly as he can, or dribbling himself into a bad situation and looking for a bailout (either drawing a stupid foul off the defense or looking for a teammate to come to the rescue). Until they bring in a real pg they will struggle against the elite teams. That was the difference last night. Fisher couldn't do a thing positive and it was left to a 20 year old second round pick to stay with Paul. I like Steve Blake but even when healthy he plays best off the bench and isn't a starter. He isn't the answer either. But they don't need a chris paul type to win the west, hell a Raymond Felton type would be fine. But so far there is this destructive loyalty to let fish search for his super power ring and magically become Isiah Thomas. And I am just talking about the rookie on the Kings bench....
