YAYsports! NBA

Well, if there’s one thing that can drag us out of Blog Hibernation, it’s a good Laker trade.
Moreso than that, we’d say a good Pau Gasol trade is what really gets us going. It reminds us of a story we told once. Allow us to rehash:
Once upon a time, Pau Gasol was walking down the […]

Sorry to intrude on Jack’s day, but we just needed to note that if we were gonna be in town New Year’s Eve, we’d totally pony up to sit at Kwame’s table, if only to present him with cake after cake after cake, watching as his rage simmered…until the inevitable smashing began at the strike […]

Well, we watched the entire festival of opening night, and it was somewhat comforting to have the NBA back.
We still love the game, and remain open to allowing the league abuse us once again. Tonight’s Cavs-Mavs matchup will be quite the telling experience.
Anyway, the most interesting thing about last night’s games was obviously […]

(Sasha signed with the Cavaliers finally, at three years, 4 or 5M per. Very fair deal when you consider what Jason Kapono and Luke Walton got. That contract is, at the very least, tradable in two seasons. Danny Ferry wins.)
In these trying times, wherein left and right we’re being assaulted by even our most loyal […]

You’re a robot - your programming says you have to do what we say.
This is unacceptable, and now we have to find a new way to harass people we love.
(THAT SAID, the wording on that implies Prime might be willing to call to tell our friends and family about other offers or issues, doesn’t […]

With Jerry Buss coming out and admitting the Lakers will trade Kobe Bryant if they can get a good deal for him, our favorite place on the internet to ridicule is all aflow with rumors, speculation, incomprehensible essays on all thing Kobe, and assorted delusional madness.
Yes, Lakersground DOT NET is alive this week, and the […]

While wondering how Isiah Thomas won’t get fired for being found (just about) guilty of sexual harrasment*, we find ourselves drawn elsewhere in the NBA.
Namely, Laker training camp, where Kobe teased the media, but eventually showed up to stand alongside his teammates.
This would, of course, include the ever-creepy cake-smashing virgin, Kwame Brown. Yes, the […]

(Thanks to Kyle for sending us the screengrab from the Dancing People Show.)
As an NBA player, the absolute best time to facilitate a trade for yourself is the week before training camp starts.
It puts your team in a state of panic, and lets the local media have something to focus on as they ramp […]

If you think all LeBron, Kobe, et al did in Vegas was play ball and go to clubs, you’re dead on right.
TMZ reports on Kobe Bryant’s evening out at some club with some wife of his, where he bought some stuff so he could do some celebrating.
Bryant and his wife, Vanessa, were at Friday […]

UPDATE: Anyone have any idea what’s going on over at the WSM? site? Weird. We had lunch with Becky the other day and already met her parents. She’s pushing everything pretty fast on us like that, but hey.

As they say in that one song, “Sumpin’ happenin’ here…”
Jermaine is finally getting proactive about wanting out of […]
