Guest MormonGator Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 As you have surely heard, the Patriots won the Super Bowl. I don't care, I'm totally agnostic about football. However, my buddies have been playfully teasing me because now the longest championship drought in Boston belongs to..... My Celtics! For the first time in history! And they have the most championships in the city! Quote
Dr T Posted February 5, 2015 Author Report Posted February 5, 2015 Sorry brother =========Lakers loss to Bucks 113-105Davis had 20 rebounds and Boozer was one board shy of a double double. Quote
Dr T Posted February 9, 2015 Author Report Posted February 9, 2015 We continue to lose. We lost to Orlando and then to the Cavs. We got pounded by them today ;( Quote
Dr T Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Posted February 12, 2015 My Boys are only 29 games back with a 13-39 record. Oh my, we are PATHETIC! It hurts. Quote
Dr T Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Posted February 13, 2015 Trail Blazers hand Lakers 11th straight road loss, 102-86. They basically handled us Quote
Guest MormonGator Posted February 13, 2015 Report Posted February 13, 2015 The Lakers/Celtics are in a terrible position. Do they cash in the season (let's be honest, both teams have) for a high draft pick or do they try for an 8th seed, first round playoff exit? Will say this though-Brad Stevens will one day win a championship in the NBA. Quote
Dr T Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Posted February 14, 2015 I agree with our two options. I'd rather focus on a high draft pick position. It will take time for my boys to rebuild. I think Kobe should retire but the $ we dished to him was not worth the dollars imo Quote
Guest MormonGator Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 Do you think Byron Scott is the man to lead them through the re-building? I'm not sure. I think he's a great coach who is actually underrated. That said, he's better with vets than young players. I don't know, I could be wrong. For the record, I don't think Stevens could coach a veteran team at this time in his career. He doesn't have the respect because he hasn't won at this level. Thoughts? Quote
Palerider Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 Laker scuttle ?? I hear if Durrant is a free agent and Oklahoma doesn't sign him then the Lakers are going after him ??Thoughts ?? Quote
Guest MormonGator Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 Laker scuttle ?? I hear if Durrant is a free agent and Oklahoma doesn't sign him then the Lakers are going after him ??Thoughts ??Brilliant idea for the Lakers. He's one of the best players in the game, hands down. It's scary that he is only 26. He could be the next Tim Duncan. Which is really saying something. Quote

He could be the next Tim Duncan. Which is really saying something.Just trying to imagine him leaving the Thunder and wearing that Lakers uniform Quote
Guest MormonGator Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Not as monumental as Albert Pujols leaving St. Louis but pretty close. Quote
Palerider Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Not as monumental as Albert Pujols leaving St. Louis but pretty close.Tell me about it....we here in St Louis still cry about him being gone. I think he chased the money and I think he regrets doing it. My opinion. Quote
Guest MormonGator Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Tell me about it....we here in St Louis still cry about him being gone. I think he chased the money and I think he regrets doing it. My opinion.Your opinion is 100% correct, but it's a blessing in disguise. The blunt truth is that he is aging quick and is clearly not the same player he was even four years ago. Do you want the Cardinals to pay him 100 million (literally) at 40 years old? I was a huge fan of him during his Cardinals days. Without question one of the best hitters in history. Now he seems like a bitter old man with massive regrets. Quote

Guest MormonGator Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 I was shocked when he left. Quote
Palerider Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 I was shocked when he left.I can assure you so was all of St Louis. Quote
Dr T Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Posted February 16, 2015 Kobe's desire is to stil excel in some way as other have no as athletic and able to do what he did in the past but still impact the team. I do not think he is ready to bow out. Quote
Guest MormonGator Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 I do not think he is ready to bow out. Totally agree. He won't go out like this. Quote
Dr T Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Posted February 21, 2015 We had 6 players in double digits with Hill and Davis with doubs. Lin had a team high 18 points in our 114-105 loss to the Nets tonight. Quote
Guest MormonGator Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 My boys will be playing yours soon. It's really, really sad that a Lakers-Celtics game is getting no hype or television coverage ,but I can't blame anyone. It's going to be awhile until both teams becomes relevant again. Quote
Dr T Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Posted February 24, 2015 Agreed. . I am thankful for the 118-111 victory and 12 healthy players. That is all I have for that. Quote
Guest MormonGator Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) I'm thankful the Celtics and Lakers are both playing like they want to win still. They haven't cashed it in yet like the Sixers or Knicks. Edited February 24, 2015 by MormonGator Quote
Palerider Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 Gone are the days of Showtime and the great Lakers and Celtic rival Quote
Guest MormonGator Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 Gone are the days of Showtime and the great Lakers and Celtic rivalSo true. They had a great restart of the rivalry during the Pierce/Garnett/Allen years. That was so much fun to watch. Brought a lot of fans back to basketball. Quote
