    Because it used to be a holy land, and now it's crumbling and rife with bad blood in recent years?

    Coach's Decision, or was there something else?

    All true and valid points. They should be better, just one of those weird gut feelings I had coming into the season. Granted, the season is VERY young and they have plenty of time to prove me wrong, and I won't be the least bit surprised if they do.

    The Spurs frequently start slow. If this group is healthy and clicking come April I sure as hell wouldn't want to face them in a seven game series.

    I think Bynum sat out because both of his injuries came during games against the Grizzlies! He's actually skipping out on a game because of superstition. I love it.

    I, personally, didn't understand why everyone thought they'd be so much better this year, because of the moves they made this summer.

    Hard to believe they will suddenly sustain this monumental effort for the rest of the season, and most opponents won't be dead tired like the purts are tonight.

    That's the excuse they're using. He just doesn't want to play against the Grizzlies.

    Pau Gasol 2009-11-05 strained right hamstring is doubtful for Friday's game against Memphis

    According to basketball-reference.com's injury report for the Lakers. Neither of them have played tonight.

    I thought they were both on the road vs. the Bobcats in the month of January?

    Nate doesn't have a problem sitting players who are playing well.

    You do know I was talking about the Spurs right? But, I understand, you saw the opportunity to take a veiled shot at Miller and couldn't resist.

    No, I missed that entirely.

    And my "veiled?" shot was not at Miller, it was at KP.

    Fair enough. I just assumed it was at Miller, I'm sure you can understand why.

    Well, you called Greg's 2 early fouls anyway.

    They're giving the ball to Oden way more tonight. And putting the ball in Miller's hands. And it's working so far.
