Lakers play bad, only lose by 5. Jerry Sloan makes remarks about Kobe playing at will because no one is allowed to touch him or else they are called for a foul… is this guy serious?? Sloan seems like a smart coach, how does he make stupid comments like this? Phil Jackson said it best, Sloan is better off not saying anything about it considering the kinds of calls Boozer and the rest of the guys got away with. boozer was pushing off and fouling all game, didn’t get called for anywhere near as many calls as there should have been. I can’t wait to see how Kobe play pissed and draw foul after foul against these guys…

yeah, true.. just saying the radio heads usually blow things out of proportion or just exxagerrate things to get ratings..

but you’re right, no way D’Antoni turns this thing around until the entire roster is remade. Unless he can get them to play as a team.. how? don’t ask me. that’s a nightmare job. at least he’s gettin paid in full.

@dj
yes whole cowherd is just a talking head, he makes very good points, what has dantoni done? he could not even get the group of amare, marion, nash and a few other decent players to mesh well enough to get anywhere. there is nowhere near that much chemstry in NY and he is not a good coach for creating chemestry. you think he will be able to get curry, randolph, STARbury, crawford, q rich (who he didnt like whe he had him) and all the other high priced nobodies to mesh? if larry brown cant do it, mike “porn-stash” d’antoni isnt going to be able to do it

If you’re gonna start handing out technical fouls, how exactly do you determine what’s a flop and what isn’t? It isn’t black-and-white enough to have refs trying to determine what’s a flop and what isn’t without using replay. So should they stop a play during the action to call a tech on a guy who seems like he might be overacting? I just think it’s too hard to enforce giving out techs for flops. And what exactly qualifies as a flop anway? Instead, just swallow the whistle and guys will stop doing it if they’re not getting calls.

what the hell does colin cowherd really know? it’s just another radio guy talking trash to get ratings..

i can think of 24 million reasons why D’Antoni would take this job (TO reference). and not one of them is the roster. they got two more years of bad contracts to get rid of.

btw, daawight howard is playing inspired ball in the first quarter.. he’s jumping through the roof practically every possession..

@ word

no your not the only one, listening to the herd with colin cowherd yesterday he was GOING OFF on dantoni and the knicks and how dantoni is not a good coach and how bad things will be in NYC. as cowherd said, what has dantoni done? NOTHING, sure he has gotten some nice regular season records but he has done nothing in the playoffs when it counts but everyone is all on his nuts like he is the best coach in the league. he was saying he could not even get a team with amare, marion, barbosa, joe johnson, and the 2 time mvp to the finals, not even to the finals to comepete for a title more or less a title.

he thinks he had problems with chemestry on the suns wait till he gets to the practice court with the knicks players.

New rule: Player should be called for a technical foul if they flop. Floppers suck. Ginoboli is the biggest flopper out there!

My bad,my bad I stand corrected! That’s what I get for skipping thru!

D’Antoni is going to be wiping his tears away with hundred dollar bills! Horrible fit in NY!!!!

@JHov #27 — “Kobe finished with 34 points, 6 boards and 7 dimes, punctuated by a dunk over Andrei Kirilenko that gave AK a Baron Davis flashback, and a self alley-oop that had shades of Jamal Crawford and T-Mac”
