Bye Lammy !!!

2011-12-19T17:18:00.001-08:00

Even stores didn't waste time dumping my man LO. 70 percent off!!!

This has to to be the most baffling trade since the Van Excel trade for a draft pick and no explanation.

Odd as it may seem LA always figures it out.

As long as old man Buss is somehow calling the shots....... It's all good!!

NBA is Back!!!!!

2011-11-30T12:38:00.000-08:00

Was it the Turkey? That got Dave and Billy to crack off a deal.

Whatever it was good deal for all.

Season starts on Christmas day. What a gift. Thank!!

NBA Lockout Vol. 4

2011-09-23T09:53:00.001-07:00

The NBA needs to get this lockout straight. Missing games can lose those borderline fans for good. Foot good. And never to come back.

Kinda how I never really went back to MLB after there strike.

Especially in this economy. Folks losing there jobs, homes, etc. Hunger and pain in this downturn is killing the spirit of fans across the USA. Workers struggling could give a shit if these NBA players can make there baby mamas support payments. Or if there property taxes are covered to house there fleet of benzos.

It's a game that touches various economies. To ticket man hustling out front of your local arena to the t shirt man selling home made Kobe tees. To the workers at the arenas. That rely on there jobs slinging beers, directing cars to park to the post game clean up crews. Washing down those floors. Yes those few hours of wages is huge in these already knocked down household incomes.

With various foreclosures and homelessness and hunger its not going to make the American public care or give an F.. about a freaking hard vs a soft cap. The numbers are there make them work. Cook em how you want em NBA. Let's play ball !!!

Shout out to all those folks struggling to make ends meet. Bless you all!!!

NBA Lockout Vol.3

2011-07-20T12:03:00.001-07:00

The lockout has caused me to miss the NBA Summer Pro League. Along with thousands of other peeps. My annual trip to Vegas was like Hoops Heaven. Were else can you see 4 games or more per day for like $20. The action there was intense. Watching NBA hopefuls try and make there team as well as NBA All Star's roaming the crowd as if they were fans.

I never stayed the whole time 10 or so days. But usually 3 to 4 is enough for me. Coupled with all the buffets, booze and nite life it was a fun time. But the action before and during games between scouts, agents GM's trying to make moves was fun to watch. As well as watching players walking around Vegas not knowing which way the strip was. Guess we will wait till next year.Oh how I miss that 110 degree temp.

NBA lockout vol.1

2011-07-07T12:19:00.001-07:00

I know this is for charity. But from the looks Paul is doing some manual labor. You think these NBA players could handle it ? Oh of course they can LOL. I'm starting to see this lockout has a someone not telling someone factor. Somewhere the numbers just don't add up. The players I feel are paid well. But the owners are too. Numbers can be moved and shifted to look how you want them to. So let's hope as fans that this thing is resolved soon. Peace.

Luke Walton What happened to you?

2011-06-26T09:14:00.001-07:00

I had to laugh at this. During the flurry of trade talk during the NBA draft it tickled me that Luke Walton's name was included in proposed deals. You might as well have thrown in some Skittles and a 40. Now at one point Luuuukkkeee (you know the sound peeps make when he touches the ball in garbage time) he was a decent player. Then being strapped with an unheard of 5 million dollar a year deal and new players brought in. Luuuukkkeee jus got pushed deeper down the pine. So no more cute between the legs passes. No more bricked 3's. Just time rapping to Trey Johnson about the good ole days. So this Bleacher Report article said it all. Hope Mike Brown can use him. Peace.

Ricky.

2011-06-21T20:44:00.001-07:00

Let's call him Rick. Until he proves me wrong. He's just hype. Peace.

Trade Pau?

2011-06-20T17:10:00.001-07:00

I wouldn't trade Pau for Kevin Love and the #2 pick. His youth isn't reason enough to hedge the next 3 years. Although Pau got his nuts handed to him in the playoffs. I'll take a gamble on a recharged Pau over an undersized Kevin Love. And the #2 pick in one of the weakest drafts is a no deal for me. So peep out the manuscript. 2 rings over a guy who plays on a last place team. He couldn't grab numbers like that in LA. No way! Because Kobe,Andrew and Lamar gotta get there touches too. Too trade a big chip like Pau it better net the Lakers a CP3 or Dwight Howard level player. Peace.

Lebron Reloaded.

2011-06-18T13:42:00.001-07:00

Lebron will be back. Dudes got speed and power and mad skill's. All he needs to do is get his head right. And maybe a new coach. Peace.

Congrats Dirk!

2011-06-15T12:43:00.001-07:00

I have to give a big shout out to Dirk and his Dallas Mavericks. Not only did he win a ring, he wiped all softness tags that plagued him for years. I've alway's thought he would win a ring but not with Dallas. But dude stuck it out. I have to admit other than Kobe or MJ and even the great Magic Johnson. Have I seen a player take over like the German. Big time plays. Big time shots. Win or lose he is a true Maverick. Peace.

And look out for Volume 3 podcast out Fri.

theres always next year

2011-05-13T13:31:00.000-07:00

Let's take down the flags and wait till next year Laker fans. Think about the last 3 years of hoops and partake in these playoffs without the purple and gold. Until then lets see what moves are made and who wins the crown. Now I think I'll finally start the nbatimes podcast finally. Look out for it. Peace!

Lakers Tonight

2011-05-04T09:49:00.000-07:00

My key to the game tonight play Andy B more. Dallas cant handle the length. But Phil makes like 10 million more dollars than me so what do I know. Go Lakers!!!

Lakers Closing in.

2011-04-02T13:47:00.000-07:00

Can Skip Bayless be right? He called it. Even as a Laker fan didn't think Spurs would crumble like this. So lets see what happens.

Peak Shoes

2011-03-05T12:15:00.000-08:00

I know Nike rules the NBA courts. But I like when a new shoe company makes its way into the sport. Ive seen players sport these kicks before. And they never caught my eye till the all star game. Javale McGee rocked these kicks during the dunk contest and I was impressed with the colors and design. As an old school sneaker head these new retros and stale releases have never really excited me since Ive seen them already. So were can I get these I ask. In a DM from Peak Shoes USA in my twitter. They took the time to respond which I appreciate. They say retailers coming soon. So look out peeps.

There's no crying in the NBA

2011-03-04T09:01:00.001-08:00

When I heard people saying Bosh cried. Thought it was a joke. But sure enough with the power of twitter I find this pic. I don't see tears but he does look like he's bout to burst. Blowing a 20 pt lead I guess I would have cried too. Lebron still cant bang a game winner. Are the Heat imploding ? Does Bibby help or hurt them? Dude doesn't play D. And he's not the Sac Town player like he was.

I wonder what D Wade really thinks.

Trades Trades and more Trades.

2011-02-25T10:23:00.000-08:00

I don't get this trade. Did Perk piss someone off? With the playoff's near Ainge trades 2 of his key players. So I have a feeling C's Fans are pissed. But it does make OKC a lot stronger. And the Deron Williams trade was even more of a head scratcher . Did Sloan have that much juice to get him thrown outta Utah. And Baron Davis did it to himself. Coming in camp overweight and admitting he wasn't in shape. Cmon. What do you think ?

Carmelo the Mellow fellow

2011-02-22T11:12:00.000-08:00

Carmelo puts the Knicks back to relevance again. Although Amare was getting them there. Its been a long while since NY basketball fans had something to cheer about. Melo is definitely is a clutch player and scorer they needed to pair with my man Amare. Haven't seen this much Knicks excitement since the Sprewell days or Grand MaMa ( one of my fave players, all time ). MSG will be electric. There playoff bound who knows were they go. Peace.

PS Check out the clip of Latrell. Dude could have done alot in NBA you know the rest.
