I think Rosenberg is right on. Vlad Rad was blowing past Prince with a bad wheel. I can understand having difficulty with the Kobe's of the world, but Prince has gotten burned by too many B level players lately.

Tay hit the shot but our bench really won us the game," he said.

Spoken like a true leader. Gotta luv it. No bench = No win.

Kudos to FlipSr for coaching like Daly. Search till you uncover an answer.

A quote the LA Times

Trip starts with a heartbreaker

Quote:

They again demonstrated an inability to execute in the final seconds, although at least they got off a shot, unlike Sunday's nine-second meltdown against Cleveland.

But this time, after Odom's shot from the right side sailed over the rim, Kobe Bryant turned to the Lakers' bench with his palms raised up and a confused, if not angry, look on his face.

He wanted the shot. It didn't happen. Lakers lose, regardless.

"It's a tough loss," Bryant said. "It felt like we had the game, just didn't complete plays down the stretch. But still, I'm encouraged. If we play this hard, we'll be fine on this trip."

Rosenberg is a moron. Most of the Freep sports writers are.
I talked to 'Horn about the game today and he said the real bullet we missed is Fisher wide open, but not seen by Odom.

Wow, great game. Lots of intensity, lots of energy, and Kobe doing what Kobe does. Some fairly dubious calls against the Pistons, but come on Dyess, what are you complaining about? That must have been an aggregate thing.

This was maybe the bench's best game. And I think it's at least partly because they came into a game that already had a high level of energy. It's got to be a lot easier coming in off the bench into an intense game than coming in the other night after the world's most boring first quarter. Starter intensity brings more energy and intensity from the bench.

Sheed didn't score much and shot badly, but he was embarrassingly good on the defensive end in the first half. It was like a cat toying with mice.

Yeah, and during the regular season in 04, we did use a 2nd defender on Kobe extensively. Billups. Not Tay. Too bad some of these reporters don't bother watching the games.

If you are going to criticize a player, you might want to learn what his name is first.

Get a Life is a television sitcom that was broadcast in the United States on the Fox Network from September 23, 1990 to March 8, 1992. The show starred Chris Elliott as a 30-year-old paperboy named Chris Peterson. Peterson lived in an apartment above his parents' garage (Elliot's parents were played by Elinor Donahue and his real life father, comedian Bob Elliott). The opening credits depicted Chris Peterson delivering newspapers on his bike to the show's theme song, "Stand" by R.E.M.
The show was a creation of Elliott; his friend Adam Resnick, who, like Elliott, had been a writer for David Letterman's Late Night with David Letterman TV show; and David Mirkin, former writer and producer for Newhart and occasional writer and producer for The Simpsons. Notable writers of the series included Charlie Kaufman, screenwriter of Being John Malkovich; and Bob Odenkirk, co-creator of Mr. Show.

The show was unconventional for a prime time sitcom, and many times the storylines of the episodes were surreal. For example, Elliott's character actually dies in twelve episodes. The causes of death included being crushed by a giant boulder, old age, tonsillitis, stab wounds, gunshot wounds, falling from an airplane, strangulation, getting run over by cars, choking on cereal, and simply exploding. For this reason, it was a struggle for Elliott and Mirkin to get the show on the air. Many of the executives at the Fox Network hated the show and thought it was too disturbing and that Elliott's character was too insane.[1]
