October 7th, 2002 11:48 PM #12kung intact pa rin ang lakers, i think they would defend their title.
from the trades and transactions that happened during the off season, mukhang wala pa ring team na tatapat sa lakers.
pero gusto ko talaga celtics. fan ako nila, lalo na kay pierce and walker.:mrgreen:

October 8th, 2002 10:01 AM #13pierce and walker are a formidable duo, the celtics lives and dies with 3 pointers just like last year.
now with the departure of 6th man rogers, and point man kenny anderson made themselves lose direction and force and i dont think vin baker makes a differrence.
stay tuned

October 8th, 2002 12:15 PM #14Shooting guards, beware!!! Kobe's beefed-up.
Here's the story copied from ESPN:
Bryant's work in weight room said to be paying off
Associated Press
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson said the extra weight Kobe Bryant added to his 6-7 body will benefit the guard throughout this season.
Bryant spent time in the weight room this summer and bulked up 15 more pounds. Bryant is stronger and will be able to keep players from wearing him down.
"It helps keep people off of him, obviously,'' Jackson said. "He's got a little zone to protect himself with because he's got strength in his arms that can provide that. He's got to be careful he doesn't use it to be overaggressive. That's the other aspect of it.''
During training camp at the Lakers' Health South training facility, Bryant has shown how much the weight has helped. He has been able to use his strength to ward off his teammates.
Jackson said when you have greater muscle, you have increased quickness to go along with it.
"We think it will improve his outside shooting,'' he said. "He's been a suspect three-point shooter as a shooter. With a little more strength, obviously that helps a shot that takes more strength.''
When Jackson coached Michael Jordan with the Chicago Bulls, Jordan hit the weights later in his career and it helped him get stronger and maintain his quickness.
Jackson said Jordan put on more muscle because so many players tried to attack him.
"I think Kobe kind of felt the same, people keep coming at him a little bit harder all the time,'' Jackson said. "He's got to be a little bit stronger.''
The Lakers didn't practice Sunday morning because they were unable to get the lights turned on.
So Jackson had his players watch film and some of them got treatment. Jackson said Bryant had a "small problem with his rib cage,'' but was OK to go during Sunday night's scrimmage.
Jackson said he showed a video of the 1998 Bulls team that knew how to execute the triangle offense with precision.
Assistant coach Tex Winter gave the team a 30-minute chalk talk.
Jackson said the reason for the film on the offense was more for some of his other players like Slava Medvedenko and Samaki Walker, who are still learning how to function in the triangle offense.
"The other guys have great knowledge of it, obviously,'' Jackson said. "But we've got guys that -- eight guys that are also on this basketball club -- that are going to have to play some preseason games and play together.''

October 12th, 2002 03:56 PM #17wizards fans....
a sign of good things to come
Washington 99, Philadelphia 84
Allen Iverson scored 25 points in his preseason debut, but Kwame Brown had 20 and five rebounds as the Washington Wizards posted a 99-84 victory over Philadelphia 76ers in their preseason opener.
Iverson missed Philadelphia's preseason opener with a broken bone in his right hand but showed few ill effects in his first game. He made 10-of-22 shots and collected seven rebounds and five assists.
But his return was spoiled by Brown and first-round draft pick Juan Dixon, who scored 14 points for the Wizards.
Larry Hughes had 13 points and Jerry Stackhouse 12 in their Washington debuts. Hughes signed as a free agent and Stackhouse was acquired in a six-player trade with the Detroit Pistons.
Michael Jordan will not play until Washington's regular-season opener.
Philadelphia center Todd MacCulloch, who was acquired in an offseason trade with the New Jersey Nets, had 12 points and eight rebounds. Obtained in the same trade, Keith Van Horn did not play due to a quadriceps injury.
Art Long and John Salmons scored eight points apiece as the 76ers also were without Derrick Coleman, who is recovering from knee surgery.
