will sessions be able to play for la tomorrow?


alho i wont be able to watch game coz of trial match and nab cup final, still interested to see if he plays

[Grahaml]

Golden state have given themselves a chance at contending in the next 3-4 seasons IMHO. Bogut gives any side a strong inside presense while they now don't really have too many weaknesses. Hopefully they get something good in the draft (I sort of hope they do poorly from here on and get a decent lottery pick) to compliment those other pieces.

[ORDoubleBlues]

So all up on the day in terms of players changing teams we've got:

-Nene from Den to Wash, Brian Cook from LAC to Wash, Nick Young from Wash to LAC, JaVale McGee & Ronny Turiaf from Wash to Den.

-Derek Fisher to Houston and Jordan Hill to LAL

-Stephen Jackson to San Antonio and Richard Jefferson to Golden State

-Marcus Camby to Houston and Hasheem Thabeet & Jonny Flynn to Portland

-Ramon Sessions, Christian Eyenga to LAL and Luke Walton to Cleveland

-Gerald Wallace to New Jersey and Mehmet Okur & Shawne Williams to Portland

-Leandro Barbosa to Indiana

-Sam Young to Philadelphia

Also Nate McMillian fired by the Blazers and replaced by interim coach Kaleb Canales and the Blazers also waived Greg Oden.

Tragic.

Would have been a fantastic player if not for an absolute horror run of injuries. As for Hasheem Thabeet, he'll probably go down as the biggest draft bust of all time.

I hate ILP vs LP.

I can't watch it on AppleTV.

SODS!

Yeah, not too many players average more boards than points, especially Number 2 draft picks

Fun little bit of trivia, Manute Bol averaged more blocks (3.3) than points (2.6) over his 10 year NBA career.

Looks like the Bulls are going to lose to Portland at home. Rose isn't playing again but it's been a terrible final quarter so far.

[brod]

Great win by the Spurs 114-105 in OKC (while resting Manu)

[Jim05]

Good win by the Knicks today, beat Indiana 115-100 after leading by 30 at end of 3rd.
Got some minutes into the bench in the last.
Play them again tomorrow away.

Patty Mills heading back to the NBA joining Boomers coach Brett Brown at San Antonio:

Knick beat Indiana for the second day in a row

[Grahaml]

Lakers went down to Utah. At one point Kobe was 1/10, Bynum 9/10 and Gasol 6/8. Instead of doing the team thing and passing more to his dominating big men Kobe kept jacking up shots and finished with 3/20!

[Gozu]

Off the top of my head I can think of at least 7-8 games Kobe has single handedly cost the Lakers this season. In one game he missed more shots than Gasol & Bynum combined attempted!

He's always been a chucker but having Shaq masked that (over those 8 years together the Lakers actually had a better W/L record when Kobe was out), he kept chucking for a few years after Shaq left too and then when they got Gasol he had to pull his head in and won a couple of championships.

With Phil gone now he's gone back to being the coach killing chucker he was under Rudy T.

Exactly. Then he hits a couple and everyone thinks he's a hero. Shooting .435 and he's trying to convince everyone it's everyone else's fault and the Lakers need to fix the rest of the team. He's not about winning, he's about being the #1 player on a winning team. Jordan was never in that position, but I reckon he'd have stepped back and been the #2 player if he needed to for more championships. Shaq did it and he was supposed to be the biggest ego on the planet!

[Johno6]

massive lakers and kobe fan, but he shoots way too much

I know I bag the guy a lot, but he's a heck of a player. Just frustrates me how he goes about it sometimes. Ok, most of the time.

First game of the year against Chicago he had the final shot and tried to take on Deng, Noah and Brewer I think it was when he had two players open. Selfish player

A 'coach killing chucker' that surely would be close to front runner for MVP

[RoosterMarty]

Lebron would be miles ahead of Kobe for MVP, he's having one of the greatest seasons in history.
