    Wow that's a really good pick up for Memphis actually... They need shooters badly and Calderon is one of the deadliest. I would definitely not want to meet Memphis in the first round.

    I'm sad to say it, but the Lakers have found some Magic, as in Magic Bryant and they are building a lot of confidence. Yes, they were at home but they've established an identity. I hope they completely fail this road trip but I fear they may go 5-2 or even 6-1 and that would be disastrous for our playoff chances.

    Portland looked really awesome against the Heat and then laid an egg the next few games.

    Including HOME games against the Cavs, Wizards and Bucks.

    3 games does not save a season.

    It's not that they won the three games but HOW they won the three games. We barely beat the Heat after playing poorly all game long. The Lakers are starting to play up to their potential which, with their roster, is high. I hope they lose (I'll be at Hooters rooting against them) but I'm worried.

    If you really wanted them to lose, you'd be AT the game rooting FOR them.

    Amen! Sometimes I wish he would just suck it up and buy season tickets for the lakers and attend every home game wearing a Kobe jersey.

    they also played 3 home games, one against a crappy New Orleans team, and another against a reeling Utah team.

    Again, winning home games doesn't mean their season is saved.

    They have a 7 game road trip coming up. After that road trip will be a better time to evaluate if there finally playing well together or they should blow the damn thing up and trade Dwight.

    I think that maybe the Lakers are starting to click. They seem to be spreading the floor better and are not being so selfish.

    well, Rube's tend to make a screen name that they think will trick us into thinking they're blazer fans or local. this guy doesn't have that kind of screen name.

    Rube Chat (n.)

    Absolutely pointless "networking tool" that Minnesota sports fan overuse in an attempt to gain and then flaunt popularity. It does serve as a purposeful tool for anyone who is feeling they are not as smart as the people they hang out with in real life. Just a few minutes on Rube Chat and you'll find yourself thinking that you just might be one of the smartest people in the world.

    Rube (n.)

    Minnesota sports fan, likely a frequenter of said site. Assumed characteristic of any new SportsTwo poster.
