Are you TRYING to be initiated into the Lakers fan club or not? :lol:

Because one minute you're telling people you're about to change your NT screenname to rck2lakeshow in the Laker thread...
and another you're mocking Laker fans in the NBA thread?

I never said I was going to change my screen name. Hell I think I even said I wanted to keep it as is :lol:

And I wasn't aware of any initiation going on :nerd:
 
How many different starting line-ups has Rick Carlisle had this season?!

Coulda sworn Shawn and Darrien started before. Mavs aren't chasing down Houston or LA for the 8th spot.
 
Doc Rivers likened Avery Bradley’s defensive impact to that of Scottie Pippen.

Bradley ranks first among NBA players in points allowed per play (0.669) and opponent field goal percentage (29.7), according to Synergy Sports Technology's game charting.

"It's like Scottie Pippen -- when you played the Bulls, you were praying that, 'I hope he guards the other guy tonight,' " explained Rivers. "Because [Pippen] was one of those guys that could guard the 1, 2, or 3. And you were hoping, 'OK, I hope [he guards the other guy].' I mean, how rare is it that you want Michael to guard you? Over Scottie.

"And I'm thinking that's Avery, and even Courtney [Lee]. Courtney's a good defender as well, but they're probably thinking, 'I'll take him over him.' And [Bradley's] feet are so good. I mean, he stays in front of the ball, he gets up into it, and it's big for us. He's really making us a better defensive team."

Bradley has 41 steals this season, with many of those picks having occurred before the midcourt stripe.

"You haven't seen guys get ripped at halfcourt the way Avery has done," Rivers said. "He has a list of guys now. I mean, it's almost every single -- he got [Russell] Westbrook, he did it [Wednesday] night to [Kyle] Lowry. You really haven't seen that since maybe Walt Frazier used to get guys, if you remember, with that strip at halfcourt. But to do it as consistent as Avery does it, I don't know if I've ever seen it."
 
Bradley is the goods tho :smokin

Dude just catches opposing point guards slippin all game long. Opponents have literally complained about how hard he plays on defense.

He's phenomenal on Defense man. The type of defense he plays you don't normally see in the pros. Mostly prevalent in High School. That whole "Get up in you," "Full court man to man" pressure defense. You don't see that in the league for the simple fact that players are for the most part far too good to be able to get up in them and pressure them the way Avery Bradley does. So for him to do it, and to do it successfully, says a lot about just how good he is defensively, especially on the ball.

Not sure what the purpose was to post this video.

But anytime someone could knee Shane Battier in the face and battle Ron Artest is 100 percent cool with me.

Kobe's respect level just went up on my end, even tho he did get beat up by Chris Childs.
