The more things stay the same, the more things stay the same. Or something like that. Fuck Stern. Fuck the Lakers.
We need to hire Budenholzer so he can give us all over Pop's knowledge. Hire a GM and then Budenholzer!!! I've been saying it for years.
This reminds me of the Spurs from the previous lockout season when they just lost 2 games the entire playoffs. http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/SAS/1999.html
When you're getting bored of the playoffs, spot your opponent a 24 point lead to make it interesting. Then win by ten.
I hope the NBA realizes how fucked up this compressed scheduling is. They are the ones ultimately losing revenue if major players get hurt, so the idiocy should be realized pretty easily.
Boom go the Lakers. Edit: Lakers blow a 13 point lead with 7 minutes to play. Karma, it's a real bitch.
Kobe is consistently awful in the clutch. This is nothing new. Every time the ball went to him in the 4th, I wanted him to shoot. You NEVER wanted Jordan to shoot.
