watching LA vs Utah
LA is playing soundly minus KOBE(suspended 2 games)
in that Lakers-Grizzlies game last week, the lakers needed an enforcer, kobe was cut near the eyebrow and no one really stood up for him...
look at carmelo in his rookie year he was almost bullied by everyone, eversince the traded for Kmart nobody's bullying him anymore...
MJ has Rodman/Pippen/Horace
VC has Oak
thomas/dumars has laimbeer/rodman/salley
barkley has...well himself
how can lamar backed him up if they are fueding inside the locker room
wala ba ginawa si d.george? sa ilong pa lang kasi nya...takot na ko eh. :D
eh matagal na pala nagparamdam si artest eh look at this pic he..he
on a relative note...
mukhang golden state is the front runner sa artest sweepstakes...
artest for troy murphy and some intangibles
Looking at the Laker lineup wala talaga silang enforcer, maybe Kwame Brown will fit that rolesomeday if he grows up.
Michael Jordan is an enforcer himself, well not physically but mentally wearing down his opponents with his relentless agression, remember the Knicks - Bulls series where the Knicks where roughing up the Bulls, Jordan responded by dunking on Ewing, stealing the ball from Starks, etc. and oh yeah his staredown with Xavier McDaniel, and oh yeah his famous headbutt to Reggie Miller. You've got to have that meanstreak, well not to much of it, to be a bonafide star. Almost every NBA superstar has it...
that's the problem with kobe, he tends to alienate his teammates. kung nandyan pa si shaq, they wouldn't dare lay a finger on kobe.Originally Posted by kimpOy
sana si dunleavy i-package nila sa trade. i'm hearing diogu's and pietrus' names being mentioned too, i'd hate to let go of these guys. man, artest, i love his talent, but has more baggage than the hilton sisters.Originally Posted by kimpOy

Diogu is untouchable from what I read.
Just read from ESPN that Pacers may trade Artest to the Warriors for Troy Murphy by friday... (trade him asap para makalaro na siya sa fantasy teams ko)
here's the latest from one of our local papers...foyle/dunleavy for artest/foster, with the warriors possibly throwing in a third player (biedrins or pietrus). if mullin can pull this off...![]()
The warriors will have the best backcourt (B-Diddy, J-Rich, Tru Warrier) IMO if they can pull this off
Just remember that Indiana isn't rushing to trade Artest, kahit buong season DNP si Artest with pay ok lang, they said it out loud, they wouldn't trade him for somebody less important in value and definitely not sa East contending team...
which is smart...besides, the warriors are only one of the few teams in consideration. i think people are just speculating, kasi si donnie walsh and chris mullin are good friends, plus mullin and artest both went to st. john's.![]()
"After toe surgery, Yao looks to return
January 5, 2006
HOUSTON (AP) -- Houston center Yao Ming has begun light workouts and said he expects to return to action in two to three weeks after surgery on an infected big toe.
Yao said the Dec. 19 surgery on his left foot relieved tremendous pain, but also said the prospect of surgery made him nervous about hurting his career.
"My toe before the surgery hurt me every time I step on the floor, particularly with the basketball shoes and the tape on my ankle," Yao told Houston television station KRIV.
Yao is now getting antibiotics via an IV in his left arm, and doctors plan to remove the IV in about a week, he said."
Funny how a banged up Yao (no rest in post season) can get back to work so quickly while O'Neal had to miss 1/3 of the season before for the same injury...
Million dollar questionone of the many reasons why Kobe hates Shaq and why Jerry Buss traded him.
