    Heh, I wasn't questioning your fandom. You're all good, it was just ripe for the picking and I had to say it.

    That sounds like as wrestling finishing move or something. I like it.

    Keep the threads coming, it was a good OP. I really like the hires too and the rhetoric the team is talking about. I always had trouble respecting a training staff with an out of shape trainer leading it. Staying fit is pretty damn simple and if you struggle with such a tiny easy aspect of fitness I can't imagine you are competent to manage some of the highest performance athletes on the planet.

    I don't believe in any Jinx, but if there are some I hope the Lakers get them. They are due for a few decades of it.

    I don't believe in magic either but Andre miller through Blake griffin to the floor 100% of the time I had 2 pitchers of miller light by halftime. It makes sense. Miller/miller

    I think it's a simple solution, if anyone gets hurt at today's game, Bluedoggy is banned forever.

    I don't believe in curses or jinxes. Good points. As someone who has had more than my share of badly treated injuries, I agree that initial treatment and above all prevention makes all the difference.

    Nagging injuries are almost unavoidable over a long season without enough rest; the trick is to keep them at the minor ache level and not career enders. Sometimes you need luck (Oden being sorely lacking in that department).

    Another point is that with a better bench, starters won't be playing 40+ minutes a game day after day.

    Oh snap...now I finally figured out why you look so familiar! You're Ralph Macchio plus a few pounds and some glasses! Wax on, wax off.
