He could get in right now? What are you smoking? There's a reason guys like Cris Carter, Roger Craig, Tim Brown, Chris Doleman aren't in right now. Why isn't Brian Mitchell in the Hall of Fame? Because you don't put guys like Brian Mitchell in the Hall of Fame. As low as the standards are right now, Devin Hester wouldn't even sniff the Hall of Fame. It's such a prestigious honor you don't have time to induct a player like Devin Hester. At the same time, we may as well induct Dante Hall, he was good for a couple years, right? Why don't we elect Lorenzo Neal at the same time for how much he did for the fullback position? Are we going to induct Mike Vanderjagt? He was automatic for almost two years! There's a reason you don't put guys like Devin Hester in the Hall of Fame.

A LaSplosion.

[expletive]ing tell me about it. Well we played them real tough for the first three quarters, but coming out completely ice cold in the 4th we really just could not over come. Martin also did not play like himself today, was expecting a much better night from him.

After tonight's loss, the Lakers will drop to 21-10 after starting the season. IMO, they're most impressive win was against the Bulls (without Boozer) at home. They've lost in Denver, in Utah, in Chicago, in San Antonio, and at home against Phoenix and Miami. Now, they've had some key injuries (Bynum specifically), and certainly aren't playing with a ton of heart, so the issue may be non-existent as the season progresses. However, I've seen a few alarming things that will prevent them from winning another championship... -Kobe is taking way too many shots. Kobe continues to decline athletically, and his fingers/hand isn't going to get much better, so leading the entire league in FGA per 36min (21.1 heading into tonight, the only player in the league with over 20) with as much supporting talent he has is unacceptable. I completely understand that he has two starters shooting sub-40% this season (which I will get to shortly), but besides those two players Kobe is shooting the worst percentage on the team among players taking over 5+ shots per game. I think Kobe will be fine, but he has to understand that the team runs most effectively when his teammates are more involved. In the 21 wins this season, Kobe is averaging 17.8 FGA's per game, and shooting 46% from the field. In the 9 recorded losses, he's taking 23.3FGA's per game (will go up after tonight's loss) and shooting 42.4% shooting (will go down after tonight). Basically, he's got to take a little step back, focus more on getting everyone else going, and try to be more efficient with the shot attempts he does get. -The PG play this season has been unbelievably bad. 39% shooting for Fisher, 37% shooting for Blake, both with under 2.5APG, and neither have been effective defensively. They are hitting their 3's, but sub-40% shooting from the starting AND backup PG is unacceptable, especially when neither player is doing much else. This is a huge problem. Should the Lakers try and see if Blake will improve, or should they make a trade? Personally, I would let it play out and see if there is some improvement as Blake gets more comfortable in the triangle, but if there isn't they need to make a move IMO. -Artest has been awful. He's still a very good defensive player, but he is no longer a dominant player on that end of the floor, and his offense has been even worse than last season. He's at that age where he will only continue to decline, so if I were the Lakers trading Artest would be a move I'd make immediately. He is an offensive liability, and his defense simply doesn't make up for what they lose on that side of the ball. -The fact that the Lakers have been this complacent is a concern in and of itself. I understand they are the defending champs, and had a similar run last season, and did it to a degree in the 2009 post-season, but you can only play with fire so many times before getting burnt. The Celtics have only gotten better from last season, the Mavs and Spurs are vastly improved, and the Heat are starting to look scary. I think the level of competition is stronger than it has been in years, and if the Lakers show any kind of this arrogance or complacency in the post-season, they WILL NOT win a 3rd title. IMO a change or two has to be made to kick their asses into gear and hopefully give them some energy. Thoughts?

21pts, 8ast, 4reb, 7-11 from the field (1-1 from 3 and 6-6 from the FT line), and 3 steals tonight in a win against the Celtics. :glasses:

Yea but he might be facing Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania if he can somehow get out of a contract with them. If not most likely Wade Barrett will face Undertaker

Well said. People will say we are crazy and mock us. But they dont see the dangers ahead.

Yea, might even prefer the Wolfpac
