The Patience

How was everyone's giving? Mine? It was okay. It's always nice to sit down and eat as a family.
Well let's get started on what people are actually here for. Basketball stuff.

What is up with the Clippers? They started out amazing. They came out looking strong. They came out defeating the Lakers. Defeating the Heat. Defeating all those high caliber teams. When they played against the Lakers, they made the Lakers look like crap. The Lakers honestly looked like a crazy mob on black Friday. They didn't know what the heck they were doing. They couldn't play defense, they couldn't play offense. But as of late, the Clipper have been going downhill. They have had three straight losses. I'm not trying to start anything but maybe the Clippers were just on a lucky streak.

Did you guys see the Lakers versus Grizzles game? The one were the Lakers LOST? Well I did. I saw then get slapped around. At the end of the third quarter Pau Gasol was benched. He was benched because he wasn't doing his Job. Mike D'Antoni benched him and then talked smacked about him in an interview. Uh oh. It did get to Pau, because against the Dallas Mavericks (which I hate because of Mark Cuban.) He put on a show. He was benched in the 4th quarter as well. So was Kobe and the rest of the starters. Not because they were doing bad. They were benched because they were dominating. They dominated and got the whole fourth quarter off. That's what I like to see. So please keep it up Lakers. No more crappy games. Please.

So that's it for week. Break is over...back to school. Damn.

The Restart

Mike D’Antoni. That’s who the Lakers picked up instead of Phil Jackson. I’m not complaining but come on, instead of Phil? That was a stupid move Lakers. I understand that Phil Jackson might have been asking for too much power but the man has won so many championships there. He is the reason that the 1998-2011 era happened. He’s the reason. Yes, Kobe, and Shaq might have helped but who made the triangle offense possible? Phil Jackson did. Now, I do not doubt Mike at all. But as a Laker fan that has seen what Phil and Kobe can do I’m disappointed with the decision. Now that brings me to the other topic, Mike and Steve Nash. They can do work together. Mike was the coach of Nash when he won his MVP’s. So that right there is the reason I understand why they went with Mike. So I want to see how that goes. Hopefully he doesn’t get fired like Mike Brown did. If they do, Phil…you’re coming back.It's aggravates me knowing that Phil Jackson was willing to be coach. Phil Jackson knows all the L.A players. All of them. He knows the offense. Mike doesn't. So I want to see what happens.

In other news, Andrew Bynum…still injured. He’s prone to injury hah. He's always injured. But when he plays he plays amazing. Its unfortunate that he got traded to the 76ers. He was an amazing addition to the Lakers. But Dwight Howard? I'm sorry but I would make the same trade too. Dwight Howard was the Magic. He was carrying them. If Dwight isn't feeling the Lakers, he can leave this summer. He was only signed for one year. So if he wants to leave, he can. I always get off topic so quick ha. Back to Andrew Bynum. If Bynum didn't get injured all the time then he would be amazing. He would be the top post player out there. Not only does he get injured all the time, he doesn't know what a hair cut is. Maybe the amount of hair on his head is making him heavier and causing him to trip more...

I haven't been watching to many basketball games lately but last night i saw the Heat vs Clippers. Oh man that was beautiful. Not because it was the Clippers going against the Heat. Because the Clippers put on a show. Everyone on the Clippers was doing some work! They showed the Heat not to count them out. They were up at by 20 points at one point. That was crazy. The score was 107-100. The Miami Heat were getting aggravated because they couldn't do anything. Thank you Clippers for putting on a show. I haven't been watching games and I thank you Clippers. For putting on an amazing game for me to watch. I have missed watching, playing and loving basketball. Thank you.

Just look at this. Shake and Bake baby.

The Change

If you have been keeping up with basketball news lately, then you already know about the change to the Lakers. No more Mike Brown. If you don’t know who Mike Brown is…He was the coach for the Lakers. He just got fired. After five losses, he’s gone. Mike Brown was also fired from the Cleveland Cavaliers after LeBron couldn’t win a championship. That I understand more than this situation. He was only there for five games! Wow! That’s Bulls**t! I guess there’s a plus to this. The Lakers are trying to get Phil Jackson back. Yeah, if they get him, then the Lakers are set. Phil Jackson has been there for all of Kobe’s championship wins. Now with all these All Star Players and if they get Phil Jackson, the Lakers don’t have an excuse not to win. I hope the Lakers can get Phil Jackson back into the Organization. One Laker fan can dream right?

So what kind of music do you people listen to while playing basketball? I listen to rap. Yeah I said it. One song that pumps me up the most to play basketball is “Forever” by Drake. Well it’s because it was being used as the main song of the LeBron James Documentary. All music like that pumps me up. Give me a nasty beat and a sick verse and that pumps me up. I used to have the Beats. The Solos, if you don’t know what that is then you need to get out more. The “Beats” are mainstream headphones. They are pretty good. Put some rap and listen to them with the beats and they sound legit. The bass qualities on the headphones are amazing. Anyways, rap is what pumps me up. Some Kanye West on full blast is amazing. I also like listening to, “Successful” By Trey Songs Feat Drake. The song talks about making it big and getting what you want. They also go into details about their personal experiences. Well that’s what pumps me up for a basketball session. What pumps you up?

This year basketball has been disappointing for me. The Lakers going downhill, I can’t play basketball because of my scoliosis, and well basically s**t has been going downhill. All I can say is everyone that is playing basketball to enjoy it and try to go far. Try and achieve greatness. Prove everyone wrong. Become top dog. It sucks I missed my last opportunity to play basketball on a team. Life is unfair that is all I have to say.

The Win

So let’s face it. The Lakers are off to a bad start. They are 1-2. One win, two losses. Even if you’re not a Lakers fan you should be disappointed. People like me are saying, “They will start winning games once they start to get their offense and stuff together.” They should have won at least two games by now. They have been losing to some tough teams. But that still doesn’t make it okay to start losing all these games and saying, “We just acquired these new players and are putting in a new offense.” The Lakers lost all their preseason games. They lost two about ten in a row if I’m correct. Don’t count on what I say right there to be right though, it was a rough estimate. They are putting in a new offense but it seems like they don’t ever practice it during practice. The Lakers are my favorite team. Honestly they are. But not even I can deny that the Lakers are doing horrible. It’s not just the offense, it’s also the defense. Anyone I mean anyone can beat you guys down the court. They can honestly score every single damn time on you guys! That’s pathetic! It would be okay if they beat you down the court if you scored every time. But the Lakers honestly score 1 out of 5 possessions.  When they beat the Pistons they won by thirty.  So I hope that keeps on going and the Lakers don’t let me down. Kobe, Dwight, and Steve, come on. That’s all I would say to them if I had the opportunity to speak to them. Lakers if you want to stay top dog in LA at least show the Clippers what’s up.

What’s my favorite team on the Eastern conference? The New York Knicks. They are 3-0. Not beating some easy teams. They beat the Heat. They not only beat the Heat but they demolished them. They should them that they want to win as well. They want to be top dog as well. Carmelo Anthony, thank you for stepping it up. You needed the Olympics to show you what skill and potential you have. Once Stoudemire comes back, you guys are contenders. Wait what am I saying? You guys are ALREADY contenders.  So Melo, show the Heat they aren’t the only top dogs in the NBA.

 

Derrick rose. You need to come back! ASAP!  Your team needs you! I need you. I can’t even play as you in NBA 2K13. Come on! Get back on your feet and show me the explosive vertical you have. Show me the potential you have. I honestly do want to see the Chicago Bulls as NBA champions. I don’t want to see LeBron on top again. I want to see Derrick Rose. D-Rose. Honestly when you come back (he’s estimated to come back after this year, As in January.) The Chicago bulls are going to dominate. The eastern conference is the best conference out of the two. No one can deny that. But without the Chicago Bulls and Derrick Rose, The Miami Heat may come out to be champions again. I know I just stated that the Knicks have a shot at it too, but their just contenders. The Miami Heat can only get better as well. So this season is going to be flat out ridiculous amazing.
