    Okay how about this bet? If the Blazers average more than 52 rebounds a game; I think they are top 4 in the West. The bet will be $20?

    Still wouldn't matter. There have been only a handful of teams to ever reach a +65 rebound average. One team did it for 5 years. Ironically, they won the championship all 5 years they did.

    Did you guys see that Doc Rivers has ordered the Laker banners to be covered during their games at Staples and the Lakers.

    When I saw them mention that at the Clipper game, I smiled. I would have done it too. Why would I want another team's banners up when I play? Can't wait for when the Clippers host the Lakers! It's going to be fun to watch!

    Something that goes on down there, that some might have not noticed........When they built Staples the Lakers wanted this fancy ass theatre lighting set up that costed like $1M more than regular lighting other arenas have. The Clips said hell no, we aren't paying for that.

    So they use that lighting for the Laker games and lock em up so the Clips can't use it.

    Check out the difference in the lighting.........http://www.sportsshooter.com/news/1671

    Wow, amazing stat. Exactly why I stated rebounding as the one improvement I wanted this year. Generally if you're picking up a lot of boards, you're also playing good D.

    Steve Nash, much too classy to be a laker.

    hahahaha

    Interesting to find out why it was that way. I always noticed at the L@ker games you can't see the fans because the spot light on the court. Clippers look more like a college game lighting. I'm really not sure which I like better. It just makes the L@kers look more elitist.

    On the one hand: why not cover up another team's banners?
    On the other hand: why be such a fucking cheap franchise that you borrow another team's building? Donald Sterling is the real dick in this scenario.

    I'm sure they had someone look into the money side of this, but in L.A. they don't really have an alternative. Orange County was trying to lure them and likely would have built them their own stadium and identity--like the Angels and Ducks. But, Sterling said no. Maybe he had grand hopes to unseat the L@kers as the home team.

    The Lakers don't own the Staples Center. The Lakers, Clippers and Kings all moved in at the same time.

    I have 2 policies regarding LA teams, in priority order:

    1. Fuck the L*kers and everything they do.

    2. Fuck the Clippers.
