Lakers get Broke-backed

According to Phil Jackson, their was a little too much penatration in the Lakers game last night....A brokeback amount.

When Jackson was asked if too much penetration was leading to open outside shooters after the Spurs dropped 13 threes on the Lakers, Jackson replied,

"We call this a 'Brokeback Mountain' game, because there's so much penetration
and kickouts," Jackson said. "It was one of those games."

League spokesman Brian McIntyre said, "The remarks are in poor taste, and the Lakers have assured us such remarks will not occur in the future."

With the Lakers D, they might as well grab there ankles, because they are going to be getting Broke-backed all season long.

Thanks Kobe

The ugliest 45 point game ever

The NBA season kicked off last night on TNT featuring the Spurs against the Trailblazers and the Rockets against the Lakers. The Spurs won in typical fashion controlling most the game. The Laker game was somewhat more interesting with the underlying Kobe plot.

It may just be me, but Kobe seemed like he was frustrated, uninterested, and un-supporting, and despite all the statements he made that when its game time, he'll be ready to play, he wasn't. Kobe was 13-of-32 from the field and 18-of-27 from the line. Kobe also had 5 turnovers, tied for the most for opening day.

They need to finalize what is going to happen to Kobe soon on way or the other, or the Lakers season is going to turn out even worse than it is destined to be.
