one positive thing from this game...we stopped Manu. wasn't exactly his night, but we gave him nothing easy.

pretty much stops there. we had no energy, no focus for 3 quarters it was rediculous. win's a win, I guess. Now we need to take care of business against GSW. We've dominated them recently, so expect them to bring it.

EHL

Wow, talk about an ugly game. Btw, the worse non-calls against the Lakers in a long time. It was pathetic watching those officials swallow their whistles. Truly sad.

Eternal

Yeah... very ugly game. Just glad we won ugly, instead of losing ugly.

ZZzzzzzZzzz.......Oh ****! games over...ZzzzzZzzzz!

Some odd substitution patterns from PJ. He should have played Rad more given that he was hot and Walton was clearly not at his best.

Isn't Kwame supposed to be back soon?

At this point I'm so over Walton. He has only had a few games that he played well in. But for the most part this season he has been trash. He came into the season out of shape even by Luke standards. He didn't work on his jumper all off season and seemingly lost all talent he had shooting a consistent shot. He has been turning the ball over carelessly and at horrible times during the game.

I'd be fine with his level of play if I thought it was because he just isn't talented. The problem is I think his lackluster off season training, and lack of motivation because of that fat new contract has hindered his game. So far this season he has totally played the role of a stereotypical contract player. Gets the money, gets lazy.

I'd not might seeing Vlade back in the starting line up because it least seemed to motivate Luke a little because of some hurt feelings.

As for Odom, I think personally he needs to get moved back to PF. Having his rebounding and size with Bynum in the paint will help us more. Ronny plays great at the 4, but when he gets to many minutes his body seems to loose a step or two and he suffers. Get Odom back to the four, but still allow him to handle the ball on fast breaks more like he did last season, and I think Odom's numbers will at least go back to normal. He is simply to slow to play the three, and not aggressive enough to post up at the three enough.

i agree on walton, that's why I wanted to him his *** and go after Pietrus instead, same money, but better player. oh well, we can always trade him if he doesn't regress too much

trade odom when he's making 5 million a year? most likely that won't happen.

our management is STUPID sometimes. why would you sign vladi to 6 years in the summer of 06 (he goes on to have an underperforming season), and THEN sign luke (who plays the same position) to a multiyear deal? now we're stuck with 2 crappy small forwards and their contracts.

Nice job with the victory last night. It was ugly, but I'll take it.
