<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Mr_Infante:</div><div class="quote_post">Kobe's back... </div> That's good for the Lakers and their fans. But I wanted to see LeBron do a little somethiing while Kobe was out
Kobe just shot a left handed jumper and is not using his right arm at all. Cavs are looking terrible. 38/30 Lakers, 2:29 till half
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting King James:</div><div class="quote_post">Kobe just shot a left handed jumper and is not using his right arm at all.

But I guess they are short the way it is, they can't afford to have him out, because they have no one they can replace him with.
Lakers lead 40/38 at the half Kobe Bryant will not return, he had 10, 5, and 2. James has 8, 3, and 3 Ilgauskas 13 and 6 Boozer 5, 9, and 1 Payton has 8, 3, and 2
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Blinger0723:</div><div class="quote_post">Whats up with Daguan Wagner? he was airing everything and missing stuff badly.</div> Well, he has not played much pro basketball really, missed a lot of last year and this year. That is a lot of rust to shake off. He does give us that slashing threat though, he create some sort of offense that the Cavs need, even if his FG% is stinkin' it up. ---------- Brown is injured and will not return (how ironic) Cavs lead 65/60 after 3 James has 16, 5, and 7 Boozer 9 and 9 Ilgauskas 15 and 7 Kobe is still the leading scorer for the Lakers with 10 (tied with George) ---------- Lakers win 89/79 Expect a deal done soon.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Blinger0723:</div><div class="quote_post">mini webber by the way?</div> Uhhm, nope.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Mr_Infante:</div><div class="quote_post">With no Shaq and no Mail, Cavs lead at half by 8. Kobe makes a run in 3rd. Cavs lose by 10+ w/ Kobe scoring 30 or better. p.s. Cavs suck.</div> damn im good. well except for the kobe thing.
Horrible game. Boozer reminds of a Webber without good hands, without passing ability, without the ability to block out, and without good offensive moves. His game has really gone south lately.
James must be moved to the 3. Williams must be our 6th man. Wagner must have limited minutes. We need a new starting point guard. We need a new starting shooting guard. Why did Diop not play tonight? Changes, changes, changes.
Welcome back 2002-03 Boozer. For those of you who oh have that desire to see Wagner start, well there you have it. He is obviously too rusty to even play as much as they do. how long did he go for tonight? almost 20 minutes i believe. Well the Cavs still seem not to knock some sense in them and get to the basket during crunch time and stop settling for their stank jumpshots. It seems like Kevin Ollie is the only one attemting to get to the free thow line. But he is so undersized and doesnt have the skill to draw those fouls that he gets hit everytime with a turnoever that equals to a fast break. Well im still waiting for a trade Pax. Make it happen or continue to watch your, and our team suffer. <font color="Red">Please use that edit button mate - KJ</font>
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Lakers star Kobe Bryant sprained his surgically repaired right shoulder Monday night and sat out the second half of an 89-79 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Lakers were already short-handed, playing their fifth game without Shaquille O'Neal (strained right calf) and ninth without Karl Malone (sprained knee ligament). O'Neal said before the game he was getting better and close to playing again -- perhaps Wednesday night against Denver. Malone is eligible to come off the injured list for that game, but isn't expected to do so. Bryant's injury put a damper on his first game against rookie sensation LeBron James. Bryant went directly from high school to the NBA in 1996 and James did the same this season. Gary Payton and rookie Brian Cook scored 13 points each, Devean George had 12 points and 12 rebounds, and Slava Medvedenko added 11 points for the Lakers (23-11), who won their second straight after a season-high four-game losing streak. Zydrunas Ilgauskas led Cleveland with 19 points and eight rebounds. James had 16 points and seven assists, but committed six turnovers. Carlos Boozer had 12 points and 12 rebounds for the Cavaliers (11-26), who lost for the seventh time in nine games. The Lakers won by outscoring the Cavaliers 29-14 in the final period. Lakers spokesman John Black called Bryant's injury a sprained acromio clavicular joint and said the star guard will have an MRI exam Tuesday.</div> Full Story Box Score
I couldn't listen/watch the game today... BUT I did turn it on for like 4 seconds at work and we were down by 8 It seems like we are always down by 8.. it doesn't matter how long they are playing they seem to always be donw by 8 **It is time to make a Trade.
How pathetic. No Shaq, no Malone, no Kobe, and Gary Payton shot 5/22, and the Cavs STILL LOST? And why do the camera's always close in on LeBron when he bites his nails? It's like they are trying to embarass him. He's probably nervous out of his mind. People are expecting this kid to do something amazing, and he has played well, but Cleveland has got A LONG WAY to go before they start contending. They look like they arn't even half done to rebuilding this team.
Well, I was right, Lakers won. The Cavaliers need to deal some people, fast. Who could they trade other than Z though? What could the Cavaliers get for Z? I'm actually a little bit glad that the Cavaliers aren't doing too well. They are still a Central team, which makes them at least a partial rival to the Pistons. I have a team that I like in every division and after these four, I hope that everybody does bad. Well, good luck in getting a good deal Cavaliers!
