OMG this is soooooo fun!!!!!!

If the Blazer don't make it, at least I will have Bitter sweet knowing Lakers didn't make it either.

I don't know if it means "bye bye" Lakers, I think they play better without that crazy guy.

I'm glad someone else besides me refuses to call him by that other name.

I hate calling him that too

13 points and solid defense on a team that struggles on defense? Sounds important to me. Nothing would be sweeter than to see them just miss the playoffs. Although a first round sweep would be fun too.

This absolutely hurts the Lakers. His impact is underrated.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

never count the lakers out. to be cocky before they are actually done....is to not use the lessons of the past. Only celebrate when they are mathematically eliminated, y'all should know that.

Artest disrupts the offense greatly with his poor shot selection. This could help them. (Ewing Theory)

Lakers are done.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Lakers are done.

well, the opposite of what you say usually happens....so.....

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

don't get me wrong, I want them to not make the playoffs.

that would be awesome. I'll buy facebook ads so my friends can't avoid it on their newsfeeds if that happens.

but this is the NBA.

I've always called him "Shit For Brains" so the name change didn't have any effect.

I wonder about that. I really think he is one of the problems with their team this year. Artest has had his moments this year, but he is a shell of his former self. I am not saying they will be better without him, but I really don't think he will be missed that much.

And even when he was on, one of the rules of thumb is that you as the Lakers opponent hope Artest makes his first shot because then he'll take anything after that, no matter how awful the shot selection.
