JOKER...you're like MacGyver bro....

Houston we've got a problem...
Nov 10, 2008 | 12:00AM - Edit | Delete

A 29 point loss is only a problem if your on the losing end.

Another Western Conference team thinking about a victory against the Lakers, another victim brushed aside. If this was a test to gauge Houston and the impact Ron Artest would have, they failed miserably...like I said, Houston we've got a problem. The problem is for the NBA teams to deal with, for Lakers fans to relish, and all others to envy...

Watching the pre-game tonight was like going to a Lakers high school reunion, Kareem, Norm Nixon and Rick Fox were discussing the Lakers...these are the things that separate the Lakers franchise from others...FAMILY. Once you play for the Los Angeles Lakers you become part of a family.

Jerry Buss is the Vito Corleone of the NBA.

Everyone wants to play for the Lakers, and why not? They are ALWAYS relevant, even when they're not winning championships they are the biggest draw in the league. Magic Johnson has partial ownership in the team and attends almost every game (in his customary courtside seat, right next to longtime season ticket holder Dyan Cannon...it seems she's famous strictly for being a Lakers fan these days...I can't recall the last movie role I saw her in) Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is Andrew Bynum's personal coach and mentor. James Worthy does the pre-game, halftime and postgame show with Bill MacDonald. Norm Nixon and Rick Fox are also part of the broadcast team. Stu Lantz, who was Chick Hearn's longtime color commentator and still mans that post along with Joel Meyers, was a Lakers player in the 70's. .... Speaking of Joel Meyers, he was the radio play by play man for awhile and now does the television play by play. (hopefully someone within the Lakers organization sees this next comment) I want to suggest that Spero Dedes, who is the current radio guy should switch places with Joel...put Spero on tv...Joel is a moron. Spero is much more adept at calling the game...people outside of L.A. may know Spero from NBA TV, he was employed there before coming to the Lakers.

Mitch Kupchak, Lakers General Manager, former player. Kurt Rambis, assistant coach, former player. Brian Shaw, former player, current assistant coach. Ronnie Lester, assistant General Manager, former player. Jerry West WAS the Lakers...as a player and as an executive. Pat Riley, Randy Pfund, Byron Scott, Michael Cooper, Larry Drew...the list of former Lakers coaching or performing executive duties for other teams is long too. I'd LOVE to see Byron come home and coach the Lakers once Phil decides to scoop Jeanie Buss up and sail off into the sunset. Until that time comes, he will continue to use mental telepathy and Jedi mind tricks to confuse opposing teams.

Tonight's matchup with the Rockets has been a good watch so far, if not predictable. Yao got a shot blocked by Kobe...YET AGAIN...

Get that shit outta here.

It seems like Ming getting swatted by Kobe is turning into an annual rite of passage for poor Herman Mingster...(maybe Grandpa Mingster can cook up some crazy spell for Herman down in the basement before the next Lakers / Rockets game) T-Packed sprained an ankle...what else is new? The back of his jersey should read "McFragile" instead of McGrady. Don't get me wrong, the guy is an awesome basketball player but he gets injured more than my daughter at the skate park...he may be Mr. Glass from that M. Night Shyamalan movie Unbreakable. (if your going to see an M. Night directed movie, see that or the Sixth Sense...the new one starring Marky Mark, The Happening is completely LAME...don't bother) All we need now is a total meltdown by Ron Artest to complete the trifecta...maybe Jack will toss a cold one at him to get the party started. I guarantee the fans in L.A. don't get punked like the fat guy in Detroit did by Jermaine O'Neal. Roy Jones Jr. got punked last night by Joe Calzaghe...how the mighty have fallen.

...damn, he fell off.

Jones Jr. was left bloody and beaten after the fight, it looked like a Rocky movie.

The victor Joe Calzaghe.

How bout LAMAR!...He slapped Artest's lay-up right before halftime like a handball...Ron never saw it coming. Maybe this sixth man role is exactly what Lamar is built for...a purple and gold, 6 foot 11 inch Manu Ginobli. Borat Radmanovic had a Veeeerrry NIIIIIICE alley oop to Gasol for a dunk before the half too. The Lakers defense is looking much better this season, I can only hope being completely embarrassed in the Finals has made them realize that defense is half the game....the USC Trojans can attest to that, their 17-3 victory over Cal this weekend can be attributed to one thing...DEFENSE. With Bynum and Trevor Ariza back at full speed, this season's Lakers are poised to do big things. Bynum's defense on the perimeter led to Ariza's alley oop to Kobe making it 104-80...the very next trip down the floor, he hits a three...this Ariza kid is going to be a player. We may have to change the reserves name from Bench Mob to Mobb Deep. This team is stacked from start to finish. The naysayers all made fun of Lakers fans all over the blogs last year about Bynum and Ariza not being proven or not being that good...but Lakers fans knew better. The future is now and redemption is here for Myself, J-DIZZLE, Tom7, tcbdog, Innocent Bystander (where TF is HE??) , Ubershorty, Nique, underage and SoCalF4N and all the other Lakers LOYALISTS who said as much time after time last year (sorry if I left anyone out). THIS season will validate our claims...with 29 point beatdowns like we saw tonight. A complete TEAM victory over a supposedly legitimate title contender in the Houston Rockets tonight. (I'll have to visit the cesspool (the front pages) tomorrow to rub it in on this clown HOUSportsFan, who's been spouting off about the Rockets lately...I hope he has the stones to show up after his squad was bitchslapped...) .....I stayed front and center after the Lakers lost last June...I HAD TO...I was calling LAKERS IN JUNE all year long and had to man up and take it (Lisa H., Josh Q. Public and fulltilt54 were more than happy to give me a helping of crow, but it's all part of the blog game)

...Payback comes THIS June.

Get used to it...

LAKERS IN JUNE is STILL the battlecry.

Movie Recommendation:

The Boondock Saints

This movie stars Sean Patrick Flannery & Norman Reedus as two Irish brothers in Boston who kill a member of the local mafia and are then released as heroes. They come to believe it as a calling by God and start taking out more bad guys Dirty Harry style. Willem Dafoe plays the lead detective hunting the vigliantes, but as he figures out what's happening, the more he believes the brothers are doing the right thing. VERITAS (truth) and Aequitas (justice) are not only tattooed on the boys,

but are central to the Catholic upbringing and prayer they say to each victim. There is also a few plot twists and lots of dark humor and lots of violence. The world could use a couple of badasses like these.

Until next time, keep blowin smoke...

...Again the overwhelming sound of SILENCE from the Wizards of Fox...

Thanks for the help Dorothy.
