Dr T Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Posted February 19, 2009 The Los Angeles Lakers traded seldom-used center Chris Mihm to the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday, getting a future draft pick and a lighter payroll in the deal. Mihm appeared in 18 games for the Lakers this season, averaging two points and 1.9 rebounds while playing 4.8 minutes per game for the overall NBA leaders. Los Angeles coach Phil Jackson indicated the club made the deal largely to trim its payroll while helping Mihm's chances of landing a better job next season. "Hopefully it's a chance for him to play, show his wares," Jackson said before the Lakers' game against Golden State. "He's in a free agent year. ... He was doing the right thing, working hard. He cared about his game, cared about this team." Mihm, the seventh overall pick in the 2000 draft, couldn't consistently crack Jackson's playing rotation despite the injury absence of fellow 7-footer Andrew Bynum, who could be out until May after tearing a ligament in his right knee Jan. 31. Mihm played 17 minutes in the Lakers' win over Atlanta on Tuesday night, but didn't play at all in Los Angeles' final game before the All-Star break. Quote
Dr T Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Posted February 19, 2009 Kobe Bryant tallied 30 points and nine assists and Pau Gasol added 24 as the Lakers outran and outgunned the Warriors 129-121 Wednesday in Oakland. I'll take it :) Quote

Dr T Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Posted February 20, 2009 Yes, Chris Mihm is gone :) Quote

Dr T Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Posted February 23, 2009 Friday we beat the Hornets 115 to 111 and tonight had some diff. with the Wolves. We beat them 111 to 108 but I'll take it. Kobe had 28 pts. Pau 25 pts and Odom had 25 too. I'm happy with both wins :) GO LAKERS! Quote
Dr T Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Posted February 25, 2009 This weeks NBA ratings puts the Lakers at #1:(46-10) Last Week: Beat the Hawks (96-83), Warriors (129-121), Hornets (115-111) and Timberwolves (111-108).It was far from a dominant week for the Lakers, who were fortunate to beat the Hornets and had to surge late against the Warriors and Wolves. Still, the ability to win close games (24-7 in games decided by 10 or fewer) is an admirable trait. And weeks like this, when they go 4-0 without playing their best, may earn the Lakers home-court advantage throughout the playoffs. It seems like my boys play down to the level they are playing a lot I'd rather they just take control and play ball! I'll still take the wins and all but come on Quote
Dr T Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Posted February 25, 2009 K, Lakers over Thunder 107-93. Kobe hurt his ankle and was in the locker-room 40 minutes after the game. He says he's fine. We'll see. Quote
Dr T Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Posted February 28, 2009 K, we beat the Suns 132 to 106 on Thursday and then lost to the Nuggets 79 to 90 I was unable to watch either game because I was out of town for both. Quote
Dr T Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Posted February 28, 2009 The Lakers, who brought the NBA's best record (48-10) into town when they checked into their hotel at 4 a.m., had their second-worst shooting night since the franchise moved to Southern California nearly a half century ago from Minneapolis - 29.8 percent. "That was a garbage game, no doubt about it,'' Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "I wish we could repay the fans some money for that game. Neither team played very well, but they played better than us.'' The Lakers, who saw their six-game winning streak snapped, were on pace for their worst shooting night when Jordan Farmar's breakaway layup with 5.1 seconds left allowed them to beat the old low-water mark of 29.4 percent set against Utah in 2004. It was the only shot they Nuggets didn't contest all night. "It's been a long time,'' Denver coach George Karl said. "They've beaten us, they've hurt us, they've dominated us.'' At long last, the tables finally turned. Bryant said this was the perfect storm of a fatigued team facing a fired-up team on little rest with little room for error. "They played really aggressively defensively,'' Bryant said. "On top of that, we just didn't have any legs. On top of them doing a good job and us having no legs, we just had a horrible shooting effort.'' Lamar Odom was 5-for-17 and the bench was a combined 3-for-19. "We got in at 4 in the morning, so we didn't want to run up and down, we wanted to slow down,'' Odom said. But not this much. We played like that and they played a good defensive game so there's that.Notes: The Nuggets' last win against Los Angeles came on April 9, 2007, when they beat the Lakers 115-111 at the Pepsi Center. ... The teams were a combined 5-for-42 from long range. ... Odom had 19 rebounds. Quote
Dr T Posted March 1, 2009 Author Report Posted March 1, 2009 111-118 Suns over Lakers Congrats Nillers. This is NOT a one man team Kobe! Quote
Vanilla Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Congrats on the Feb 26th win. Wanna trade Snak for Kobe? Quote
Dr T Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Posted March 2, 2009 hahah, uh, no thank u. He took off in the third I guess and was dropping bombs from everywhere. No team is silly enough to just leave him alone and so when he draws a crowd, great! Dish boy-dish! Share the ball and make it a team game. When we play as a team we are great. Thanks for that Nillers :) Quote
Dr T Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Posted March 4, 2009 The NBA has honored forward Pau Gasol as Western Conference Player of the Month for February. Gasol helped the Lakers to an 11-2 record in February and averaged 20.9 points on .586 shooting and 10.9 rebounds. Quote
Dr T Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Posted March 4, 2009 99-89 over the Grizzlies. :) Back in the win column Quote
Guest MacawMan426 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Posted March 30, 2009 Cavs are leading the NBA now. It is a safe bet that they will win the East this year and a pretty good chance they'll win the finals. LeBron James, Mo Williams... no competition Kobe is over-rated. Quote
goofball Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 Cavs-Don't think they can do it. I think they will disappear in the playoffs. Quote
