Thanks Pack.

Good third test for Boston, against New York tonight. The Celts have recently beaten Indy and then Atlanta after starting off really slow. If they can pull off a win at NY tonight, that would be something to build on.

The Lakers will show their true colors this week. They've already lost to the Clippers, Nuggets in the past few days. Now they will play at Houston tonight, at Spurs tomorrow, and will wrap up the week at home against the Thunder. Their season could pretty much be a wrap by Saturday.

Mike Trudell ‏@LakersReporter
Dwight Howard aggravated his shoulder injury tonight. He’s going to have an MRI in the morning. Stay tuned.

UPDATE:

@LakersReporter
Dwight Howard is out at least 1 week with a torn labrum in his right shoulder. Re-evaluated next week.

Wow, so no Howard, Pau or Hill?

It's not like we feature them in our offense anyways.

At least now we got more excuses of why we are a bad team.

Over/under Kobe averages 30 FGA per game this week.

We might see Kobe playing PF this week. I'am sure D'Antoni can make it happen.

They have been made invisible and have become the scapegoats. When they do get the ball, they usually fail. Is it their fault? Not entirely. They are rarely put in the position to succeed when they do get the ball. Pau is usually around the three point line and Howard is simply ISO'ed on the block and is quickly doubled which leads to a turnover.

It seems the more difficult task to put Pau and Dwight into positions of failure rather than positions in which they can succeed, yet Mike D'Antoni has accomplished this feat. It's quite frankly astonishing.

And yes, I must point a finger or two at Bryant. He doesn't trust anyone, even Nash. I wish Nash would just take over the offense. Sure, Kobe bails LA out late in games, but during process of the game he really doesn't lend to any sort of team concept. That's on him and the coaching.

With all of that said, I still can't blame Kupcheck for wanting a coaching change to start. Brown wasn't going to make this team work any better offensively, and defensively they simply don't play with much effort or focus outside of Ron Artest.

I agree with you ex & I knew we were taking L's against SAS & OKC with our bigs anyways. Now we can just add another one to the loss column against Houston without our bigs.

Re: 1/7 - 1/13 Games Discussion Thread.

Miami is desparate for some rebounding help:

Andersen, famously known as “The Birdman,” arrived in Miami on Monday for a physical and workouts over the next two days with the defending NBA champions, sources said.
Heat president Pat Riley has been scouring the landscape to bolster a foundering frontcourt bench and appears to be intrigued with the possibility of discovering how much Andersen, 34, has left in his game.
