my attempt at being funny on the internet. i'm a zombie right now.

but real talk, my store hasn't received them yet. but hopefully soon?

Curt - I saw that the Raging Bulls pack was moved to the 23rd. Does your homey still wantto go half n' half? Give me a call when you have some free time.

The Lakers WILL win game 7, and they will defeat the Druggets in 6 games.

Lol, u right. I'm just lettin these lil Nugget and Rocket fans get hype for the first time in awhile. They'll be back down to Earth soon.

Anyways, the problem with us is we're too cocky right now. We expect these teams to lay down for us instead of us going and taking it. Not to mentionPhil's questionable substitutions. I mean putting Ariza on the bench for almost the whole 3rd and lettin Puke Walton play...

hahahahha... i'll take what i can get!

t-mac/yao NEVER panned out like it was supposed to. that's like $40 million sitting on the bench... only to find out we have the talent (but not theconsistency... yet) to beat an ELITE team... they always injured anyways... like 3 or 4 seasons straight... that money could go two or three hard-workers NOTprone to injury.. too bad theres no one available to fit the bill..

dont get me wrong... i love tmac and yao... but those guys must be made of matchsticks

has jhob quit poppng into our thread? i was expecting some denver-all-day by now

[shinobixtc]

damn. i wouldnt go for that. and the rest just sat there.. didnt nobody say sht

 

[datrendsetta843]

^ Damn.Kobe cold

 

[executive76]

that's leadership Gasol is cotton candy he's trying to toughen him up.


Anywho....

Black/Dark Charcoal-Team Red and will be released along with a White/Varsity Royal Air Jordan VII as a pack on August 22nd, 2009 for $310.

 

[spacej23]

Sometimes, you have to wake up your teammates, and talking just won't cut it. Idon't blame him.

 

[chico cummings]

It was more of a motivation thing when Kobe did that, not a scolding. The slowed down GIF makes it look worse than itwas..

Looks like I'm not the only person talking bout our sucky coaching...



Coach's Zen approach not helping Lakers




After the first game of the Western Conference semifinals, an eight-point Laker loss at the Staples Center, Phil Jackson came to the interview podium and addressed the media in his best, most reassuring baritone:

"It's not as bad as it seems," he insisted. "We're OK."

Then, after Game 4 -- another Laker loss that saw Jackson's team spot the Yao Ming-less Rockets a 29-point lead -- the coach declared the trip a success.

"We got home-court advantage back," he said, referring to the split in Houston. "That's what we came here todo."

I had to wonder if he was having one of those LSD flashbacks.

And on Thursday, after a first quarter in which Houston jumped out to a 17-1 lead, Jackson said: "I thought we played allright but for the shot selection."

Hold up. For the second time in four nights, his team had come out for a playoff game overconfident and under-prepared and it wasthe shot selection?

Finally, when the game was over and the series tied at three games apiece, Jackson said, somewhat mercifully, "I don'thave a statement to make."

[h3] [/h3]​

So allow me to make one. The front-running Lakers will probably win Game 7 at home. But even if they do, it won't change thefacts. With two rounds now in evidence, the most talented team in the playoffs has also been the most poorlycoached.

Phil Jackson has nine championship rings. He's co-written five books, a library of his opinions and reflections, from"Maverick" to "Sacred Hoops" to "The Last Season." He makes $12 million a year, considerably more than any coach in any sport.But this great basketball man is having one lousy postseason.

It would be nice and convenient to say that the undermanned, if admirable, Houston Rockets have exposed some of his Zencamouflage. But that's not the case. It was the Celtics who laid bare Jackson's team almost a year ago in the finals. In losing the last game by 39,the Lakers entered these playoffs with the burden of proof squarely on their shoulders. Yet they still play as if they are owed something. That's coaching,or rather, lack thereof.

The NBA's most prolific author is down to cliches. "Nobody stepped up," he was heard to say late Thursday at thepostgame presser televised on NBA TV.

Then there was this gem: "You know, we're playing with a couple guys who are injured."

He was speaking of Andrew Bynum, who made it back from a bad knee before the season ended, and Lamar Odom, who's playing witha bruised back. What he failed to mention, of course, were the Rockets injuries.

The comparison doesn't flatter Jackson's squad. It's difficult not to root for the Rockets. They lost Tracy McGradyduring the season. They lost Dikembe Mutombo against Portland. Then Yao Ming went down in the third game of this series. Houston shouldn't have won anothergame. It's as simple as that. But now they've won two.

[h3]While the Lakers start their pair of 7-footers, the Rockets are now smaller than a lot of college teams. They started a 6-6 center, Chuck Hayes, who played more defense than all the Lakers not named Kobe Bryant put together. (By the way, this one isn't on Kobe, who knew the Lakers wouldn't win Game 6 without a marked increase in intensity). Second-year forward Carl Landry came off the bench for 15 points, which was not only more than Bynum and Odom combined, but more than Mr. All-NBA, Pau Gasol.[/h3]

Good coaches do two things consistently well. They motivate their players, and they make adjustments. To this point in thepostseason, Jackson has done neither. After Game 1, he said of his team's lackluster start: "I don't know if we can play much worse, to be honestwith you."

Turns out they could play a lot worse, as evidenced by Thursday's first quarter. Speaking of adjustments, there's AaronBrooks. He's a good player, but the Lakers are giving him the confidence to discover just how good he can be. Six games into this series, Los Angeles stillhas no answer for Brooks.

Then again, the Lakers have more problems than a slight, second-year point guard. For all their talk of championships, theycan't recognize a simple mismatch. Worse, for all their size, they don't defend the lane.

So what of Game 7? Jackson was asked.

It's a home game, he said. "There's nothing to worry about."

Perhaps that's good Zen. But it's not good coaching.

And part "B" will be happening approximately a couple days after May 25th.

^ He came through big for them last night. I just don't think the Nuggets have whatit takes to win those close games. It's like they have to kill their opponents, or they won't win.
