X-Factor

All these crying about the refs sound just like Laker fans.

So are these ex-Laker fans or did they just learned from the Laker fans.

At deep sea fishing.

At throwing bricks.

If Kobe missed 20 Free Throw in a row in practice and no one was there to witness, did he really miss those shots?

Kobe with 61 points and huh nothing else(well 3 Assist)

or

King James with 52 points, 10 rebounds and 11 Assists.

Why do you think players argue about a foul call when I've never seen a ref reverse a call for as long as I've watched the NBA?

Have there ever been a reversal of call because the player convinced the ref that the call was bad? Even so I think there must be less then 1 reversal per year per team.

He received a flagrant foul call for a horrible elbow to the chest against Wallace. I think that was a dirty play. It look like he was trying to hurt Wallace.

Ben's head is getting to big to fit into his helmet. What will Steeler need to do to get his helmet to fit?

With all the negative comments here by Laker fans about how bad Lakers are and that they now don't see in any possible way that Laker can beat the Celtics. It seem to me that Laker fans already throwing in the towel.

Why did you guy gave up already? This is after calling us Celtic fans bandwagon? Now I even hear some Laker fans looking for good team to jump to.

It's 56 all in the 3rd quarter. Wade's looking very good. Can Miami do it? Really close game.

With three home games against Chicago, NY and Sixers, will Celtic be able to break the best 26-2 start held by both NY and Sixers? It's ironic that they will play NY to tie the record and then Sixer to break it.

I guess they have to get past Bulls before we really talk about the 26-2 but it's so close.

They also need these 3 wins to break Celtic's 18 in a row wins set by the '82 Celtics.

Everyone said the West is stronger and they probably are but here are some statistic I noticed:

5 out of the 6 teams with the worst record are from West:

Oklahoma City 2-24

Minnesota 4-21

Golden Stat 7-19

Sacramento 7-19

Clippers 7-18

East:

Washington 4-19.

The next worst team from the East is Charlotte with 8-18.

The top teams have East dominating as well:

East:

Celtic 24-2

Cleveland 21-4

Orlando 20-6

West:

Lakers 21-3

Hornet 15-7

3 out of 4 top teams teams are from the East.

So how do you explain this? The East have more top teams. The West have less top teams and more bottom teams. So which Conference is really better and why?

I think East have better record vs. West but I don't have those numbers. If anyone have them please post them up. Thx.

Why?

They both have a reputation of being a ballhog so who do you think is the bigger ballhog?

If Boston can get past Utah and Atlanta on their next two games, do you think Boston will break the All Time Best Start of 26-2 set by Sixers and Knicks? They'll have Bulls, Knicks and Sixer after Utah and Hawks. It would be nice to break the Knicks and Sixer's record by playing them back to back.

I think Kobe is far from even being consider an MVP this season. I know the season is still young and anything can still happen. If there is anyone from Lakers that should be consider, it should be Pau Gasol. He is the reason Lakers is winning more then last year. Look at his numbers. 18ppg, 9.2rpg, 3.4apg and shoot 57.1% from the field.

I'm not saying Pau should be consider. What I'm saying is that if anyone from Lakers is to be consider, it should be Pau.

Do you think that have anything to do with KG and what he said to Glen Davis with the game against Blazzars? The Celtics bench played much better and I think it's because no one want to be in Glen Davis' shoe. I think this is what a leader was suppose to do. Make sure your guys doesn't make the same mistake.

So Clipper traded Mobely to Knicks last month. Mobley now retire due to heart condition. Does Clipper owe Knicks any draft pick? I would be bum if I traded for someone and they end their career due to circumstances that are out of their control. At the same time I lost the player I traded for and got nothing for it. If it was known before the trade then it's okay.

Does anyone know if NBA will compensate a draft pick for these situation?

Ac6x Vs. 3c4c.

How would you play this hand?

UTG fold.

UTG+1 raise 2x BB ($8)

button fold

SB fold (me)

BB raise 4x BB ($28)

Pot is $38

UTG+1 called(apprx 1/3 of his stack) ($16)

Flop: 2c6c8c

BB push all in.

UTG+1 call.

BB show Ac6x

UTG shows 3c4c.

turn was a blank and river was A but no help.

Now "big blind is fumming". He can't believe anyone would call 1/3 of his stack on 3c4c.

What do you think? What's wrong with calling 1/3 of your stack with 3c4c?

Basically if I'm the 3c4c, I see that I only have to put another 16 dollar to win 38 and that's 2.4 to 1. Now my hand odd is 5.9 to 4 so I should call. And that's exactly what UTG+1 did.

The Ac6x was furious that the caller made the call with 3c4c. He spent the next 4 hours argueing about that call.

What's your opinion?

I've notced that Hawks fan base have jumped 10 fold. At the same time Fakers fan have lessen by about 10X. Have all the Fakers moved to Atlanta?

Not knocking on Atlanta. Just Fakers Fan. I noticed a lot of Fakers fan from last season are now Hawks fan.

Okay. Person with the closest average to the actual game tonight will get 10 points.

Lakers Vs. Hornets

Hawks Vs. Celtics

I don't want to hear any put down. I just want your prediction. Put down will not win best answer even if you came the closest.
