How can one not give a crap yet feel nice at the same time?

Just curious.

Stein is a stroke. Hollinger too.

Kobehasthemagic, Lamar Odom is a not scrub. Period. If a 15/10 guy is a "scrub", then what the hell is a definition of a scrub?

Or how about 2005-2006 when Kobe had to put up hisotrical numbers to get the team to the playoffs?

It has been the past three years.

Odom is a scrub?

You mean always has. That's why they keep getting bounced in the first round or don't even make the playoffs.

Kobe & the Scrubs...still looking for a decent #2 option. Preferably an allstar.

No, I mean it never was.

Try passing your B.S. that a double-double forward is a "scrub" elsewhere. Thanks.

We also have a young center who gets his fair share of double-doubles.

Exactly on both points. And we had a guy after Shaq who did become an all star. Anyone remember Caron Butler? Oops.

Seems ridiculous to refer to guys like Derek Fisher, Luke Walton, Lamar Odom and Bynum as "scrubs." Needless to say D Fish has won 3 championships and played a vital part in last year's playoff run with Utah. No worries, we're going to win some games this year I think . . . just a gut feeling.
