Real Deal

Not surprised, but that's just a dumb move. They should've given him at least one more season. I'm not sure if they didn't like the Princeton or what, or if they were mad at his rotations, pissed that he's a former Kings coach and doesn't like him for that (me), but they have to respect what he did for the team he inherited.

Gay slurs are the same as racial slurs. Keep them both off the board. The filter wasn't dropped to allow things like that, and I've kept certain words in the filter for that very reason.

It's true. I don't mind talking about the fanbase. I argue with them all the time over at TLN. The only time I felt the need to stick up for Gasol was when Amare stated he was soft...but that's only because Amare has no room to talk. I've been making posts all year long over at the Lakers site, stating that Gasol needs to stop playing like he's Bargnani.

LOL. Lakers fans are so pissed off at him. He's been MIA for a long time, especially on the defensive end.

Three of them were in the final 1:37, and the game was already over (a layup and a tip count as two of them as well). That's part of the reason why Kobe's percentages look bad, and people don't consider him shooting during 8-10 point deficits, launching prayers or doing anything to get a call (unfortunately, he doesn't get 20 free throws a game, so there's no point in it). Kobe's three misses, while the Lakers were within 3-5 points, are what you should be talking about...but even then, it didn't matter because the Lakers weren't going to win if they were letting CP3 get what he wanted (CP3 had six points during and a few seconds after those three Kobe misses). The last person you should be talking about, in a negative light, is Kobe.

Good game, Hornets. Good game, Kobe.

Pretty big delay, then. He already had the whistle ready (yet didn't blow it sooner), and he didn't raise his hand until the shot was already out of Wade's, and nearly in the basket.

The foul was called on the contact with Wade's leg, which he initiated himself. Bad call. Here's the clip. Hear the whistle, see the ref's hand, and see when the foul is called. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBtoJpONR7w Offensive foul, because there was nothing called on the initial bump.

LOL. Dwight is mad at something or somebody.

Remember, if you want to be the next participant, you have to ask questions. Topic closes April 21st. Ask away!

Nitro it is.

LeBron was one free throw away from matching Philly's total of 15. That's impressive.

Gotta make the right decisions down the stretch.

Offensive foul.

You mean the one where they are shattering glass everywhere? And...why not just give Joel Anthony the ball? I want to see him score more.

"What changed when you went to a zone?" "Nothing changed when we went to the zone..." Stupid answer for a stupid question.

Why the hell are the Sixers so intimidated by a zone? Bad possessions.
