Um, that sure looked like he caught his own shot to me.
Damn Kieff has been stinking up the joint lately.

Yeah, it didn't look like he got it up in time on the second shot either.

Oh yeah, that's a definite violation. Refs fucked up.

I'm good with losing this one and not playing OT after we just played OT last night. Was a pretty fun game to watch tho that 3rdQ was pretty ugly. Also the refs were fairly pro-Clippers tonight. I guess basketball is the hardest sport to ref because it sure seems like they get stuff wrong more than any other sport. Except for maybe the homeplate umpire in baseball. That has to be the worst job.

Preseason.
Blech.
The only thing worse is Mark Jackson, Jeff Van Gundy and Mike Breen rambling about Van Gundy's ideas for rule changes.

Van Gundy had some terrible ideas too.

Yes yes we know, Chris Paul is AMAZING.

Surprised they played Paul 37 minutes. I guess this is the final tune-up for the regular season for them?

The question isn't if they make the playoffs, it's if they can go 16-0 once they get there.

Every broadcast he comes up with some totally ludicrous idea.
And he acts like its pure gold.

I'm fairly confident the Lakers won't lose any playoff games this season.

We got Kobe for 30+ last night too. I always remembered preseason playing the bench a lot, didn't seem like that happened much this year.

Yep, like they said - nine seasons, zero trips to the conference finals.
He's a great player, but you can't put him with the all-time great point guards like Robertson, Magic, Thomas, Stockton and Cousy.

You're very bold.

He was avoiding the ball tonight. Hopefully because of his finger. I watched him carefully: every time the ball swung to one side of the court he either move to the other side or to an area where there was no passing angle.
Whatever, I was happy to see him get some run tonight. He needs to get his wind back.

Can't. Sending a player to the D-league doesn't give you the ability to go over the 15 contract limit, and we're maxed out there.
Plus, Barron's not the guy want to carve out room for. Decent preseason game against scrubs aside, he's awful.
