“Kobe’s reputation is such that most everybody’s staying down on his pump-fakes, not getting up in the air,” Jackson said. “He just has to get his shot back in order so that he’s taking a shot, not worrying about getting guys up off the floor, trying to create a [free-throw] situation for himself.” WERD!

Congrats on Phillip for reupping for 2 more years!!

WHAT a comeback tonite! Holy shit, how 'bout that Sasha coming up BIG. He had a good game in that choke-loss vs the Nets. Bench doing aight!

Now if they could just take a game on the road. -_-

Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James has a sprained left index finger and is day to day, the team said Thursday.

James underwent an MRI at the Cleveland Clinic in Toronto, which confirmed the sprain. The team said he will be a game-time decision for Friday night's game in Toronto against the Raptors.

James hurt his finger in the second quarter of Wednesday's 109-74 loss to Detroit. He did not respond to a few questions as he walked to the team bus after the game carrying a pizza.

Is LeBron wussing out?
Its a sprained finger on his non-shooting hand, and he's goes all prima donna over it, now being listed day to day because it.
If he doesn't play, then the Cavs sink, since he is all the Cavs have.
Thats what happens when you're just a one trick pony, which is what the Cavs are.

^ Yeah Jsmurf -- peep the entertainement forum ... I heard it on ESPN Radio this aft and was like

Lebron just doesnt have heart. Calling him a T-Mac or AI is an insult. At least those guys play hurt, give back to the community. Yeah, I don't want to be like you.

BRUTAL Lakers losing big time. Let's just remember how Kobe blocked AK-47 the last time they met

GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- The New York Knicks still won't rule out Stephon Marbury for Wednesday night's game against the New Jersey Nets, and now the status of Eddy Curry is in question after he sprained his ankle.

Marbury wasn't at the day's shootaround, three days after his father died during the Knicks' home loss to Phoenix. Coach Isiah Thomas said he wouldn't know his starting point guard's plans until later in the day.

"That would be his choice," Thomas said. "If he felt that he was able to play emotionally, then we would let him play."

Curry sprained his left ankle while running during the morning shootaround. The Knicks probably won't know if their starting center will be available until shortly before the game.

If Marbury does travel to New Jersey, Thomas would let him decide if he wanted to play. Don Marbury's funeral is Thursday morning in Brooklyn.

"Different people handle things differently and dealing with death, it's just a very emotional time," Thomas said. "Everybody handles it a little differently and you just have to give people enough time to go through their grieving process, however short or long that may be."

Kobe plays with the flu. Kobe gets his shoulder bruised. Kobe comes back and WINS IT 111-107 over the Nuggets. Even AI got more cajones than Lebron. 51 for him. "We absorbed a lot of points from Iverson," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "He got our whole team in foul trouble."

Oooh what's this shit about Jason Kidd wanting out of NJ? Jigga's gonna get the migraine.

jChu* · « **Reply #1907 on:** December 06, 2007, 04:40:55 PM »

I saw the Lakers-Nuggets game last night too. Iverson went classic AI and caught fire during the first 3 quarters dropping 49... it was fun to watch. Then the Lakers D stepped up only allowing him 2pts in the 4th and LA went home with the win.

OAKLAND -- Think about what life would be like if the world operated under the same principles as the Golden State Warriors. Hot fudge sundaes would be nutritious and help you lose weight. Whale-sized sport-utility vehicles would get 50 miles per gallon. "I Love New York" would be up for an Emmy.

The thing about the Warriors is they make no sense. Basketball at the professional level isn't supposed to work this way. In the mixed-up Warrior World, one-on-four pull-up jump shots are encouraged, not punished; a player who has been suspended six times is a source of inspiration and stability; and guys called Mully and Nellie are considered the masterminds of the operation.

that was an awesome game by Iverson... unstoppable for most of the game.
thought he was gonna score at least 65+ points. it was over for him though when Kobe came back in the game and shut him down

The season began with trade speculation swirling around Kobe Bryant, Jermaine O'Neal, Shawn Marion and Andrei Kirilenko.

The list now stretches to include a fifth major name, with Jason Kidd's future making us wonder.

Our first five questions (and answers) about what's next for No. 5:

Suns got beat by another bottom of the barrel team, T'Wolves.
They had already got beat by the Hawks early in the season.

Now thats fucking embarrassing for them.

ATLANTA (ESPN.com news services) -- T.J. Ford's teammates said the Toronto Raptors guard was moving before he was taken off the court on a stretcher following a scary fall late in Tuesday night's 100-88 victory over the Atlanta Hawks.

Ford, who missed the 2004-05 season with Milwaukee following neck surgery, stole the ball and was headed toward a breakaway basket when Atlanta rookie Al Horford hit his face with his hand. Ford landed hard on his back, his head bouncing off the floor.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson signed a two-year contract extension Wednesday believed to be worth about $24 million, keeping him on the bench through the 2009-10 season.

The Hall of Fame coach had previously announced the extension Nov. 30.

"Nobody has been more successful from the sideline in the history of this game than Phil and his record obviously speaks for itself," general manager Mitch Kupchak said. "We're excited to have a coach of his experience, stature and ability leading this team for the foreseeable future."

The 62-year-old Jackson signed a five-year, $30 million contract with the Lakers in June 1999, and coached them to three championships before they lost to San Antonio in the Western Conference semifinals in 2003 and were beaten by Detroit in the NBA finals in 2004.

Jackson and the team parted ways in June 2004, and he took a year off before signing a three-year, $30 million contract -- the richest deal for an NBA coach -- in June 2005.

"I enjoy working with the players and staff of this team, as well as the management and ownership," Jackson said Wednesday in a statement.

He and late Boston Celtics coach Red Auerbach each have earned a record nine championship rings as a head coach. Jackson guided the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls to six titles in the 1990s before taking a year off from coaching and then joining the Lakers before the 1999-2000 season.
