    He might bash LeBron. It would make for great entertainment.

    Even with the foul trouble and the obvious mismatch, (FWIW) Wenyen was a +12 for the game. Hustle and energy can go a long way.

    What I see of Davis and even his stat was big. Almost half his points was from free throw line but he didn't shoot very well I think he was 6-28 something like that 0-5 from 3. But at times he disappears especially the 4th quarter last night.

    It's too bad you never met Tunchi. I think you would have been great friends.

    but if the Lakers now win 4 in a row, that 1st game will be labeled a fluke

    I still expect the Lakers will probably win the series, but the Blazers have a puncher's chance now; they only have to go 3-3 while LA has to go 4-2

    *********************************************************

    some people here were saying that Portland's biggest advantage was that LA was crappy at perimeter shooting. I was a little skeptical about that, but for sure, last night, the lakers lobbing all those bricks from outside just killed them. And when they got inside, Whiteside stuffed 5 of their shots. Holy backboards!

    Almost as if he'd been playing injured.

    Melo has money. My guess would be Brooklyn way before the Knicks....based on the rosters.

    one fun stat at bbref is they post how much money each player has made from contracts

    Melo has earned 260 million.

    if you make 50,000 a year, it would only take you 5200 years to earn that much. You might get bored with your job sometime after 5000 years. But if you stayed healthy, you'd have a lot of sick leave built up

    Do you honestly think that other people's support of him is more annoying than your constant trashing of him, and pointing out how unbelievable it is to you that he was drafted 10th?
