wow

Awe man I know the twitter world will be buzzing over this.. it has to be... I mean, didn't Ron Artest just insinuate that white basketball players are smarter than black ones? Where is AL Sharpton? Jesse? What do you mean it won't be blown out over board cause it is Ron Artest. Thats BS I demand a 30 for 30 showing the difference between the smarts of the black guys and the white guys. Skip and Steven need to debate this and then bring in JA Adande and Jamele Hill to show how this comment sets the Lakers back a few years and how it proves that the mentality of the players is hampering the Black athletes ability to make money in the NBA (and Soccer.. yes.. Soccer and Lacross and even Table Tennis). Then we need to bring in Plaschke to show how Mike Brown has now officially lost the locker room and it is obvious Kobe isn't a leader to allow Ron to say such a thing... Damn You Kobe

By the way I am joking.. that ish was funny Ron

Nash said he volunteered to shoot the practice-ending FT's; shared that the team went through basic offense, defensive sets all day.

Mike Trudell ‏@LakersReporter

Nash allowed that going through drills w/t starters feels like All Star practice, the key difference being this here means something.

Mike Trudell ‏@LakersReporter

Nash said he couldn't tell that @DwightHoward had any back issue at all, but team didn't run any full court w/contact.

therealdeal wrote:^ No, Grant Hill decided to take his talents to the Los Angeles team, the Clippers. God only knows why.

The Lakers re-signed their PF/C Jordan Hill this off-season.

As for Nash and his turnover streaks, that's entirely possible. I've never done the research on it. But the cool thing now is that if he does start to get sloppy for whatever reason, we've got more than enough pieces to give him a rest and give him a chance to calm down and get back to his usual self. His assist/turnover ratio is actually tremendous, but of course that doesn't necessarily account for streaks.

that's a pretty valid question...Nash has a higher FT % so i would assume he shoots the techs?

But didn't Fish and Sasha have better % as well? He didn't let them shoot it

With the game on the line, who would you rather have shoot the free throws. For me, not even close, gotta be KB 24.
