Is Adam Morrison Going Green?
In the market for a knock down shooter, the desperate Boston Celtics are working out former Laker Adam Morrison. Having already signed one former Laker well past his prime, Shaquille O’Neal, the Celtics continue to scrape the bottom of the championship barrel in hopes of getting a little Purple and Gold fortune in Beantown. Morrison’s disappointing career made a brief pit stop in Los Angeles where the former Gonzaga Bulldog won two rings, one of which came at the expense of the C’s. So impressed with Morrison’s ability to cheer on his team from the sideline, Boston is almost certainly [...]
We’ve made some interesting discoveries about how Kobe scores his points. Both Phil Jackson and Doc Rivers would be wise to watch this and adjust their game plans accordingly. Oh – and the key to Game 7? Do The Hustle…
The Lakers lack the cohesion of a team that the Celtics have – from running their offense, to getting amazing defensive plays, the Celtics have continually hurt the Lakers with the intagibles: heart and desire (Eye of the Tiger). Winning 2 in a row generally spells doom for the other team, but can the Celtics put it together to get a win at Staples?
Game 4: Pau and Odom Let Kobe Down
The biggest issue I see is passion and desire. The Celtics have a lot more of it than the Lakers – and with the refs keeping everybody off balance, those intamgibles will be crucial. Bynum may not play and will certainly not be at full strength if he does, so the Lakers will need a supreme effort 1-12 to steal Game 5 from Boston.
We breakdown some of the more crucial calls that were blown and examine how this affects the game. While the NBA wants 7 games, you’ll be surprised with what we came up with here.
They key to this series rests on who is going to be tougher, who is going to get down and dirty, and who’s willing to do whatever it takes to win. Kobe and Pau Gasol have gained a leg up on the big 3 and Rajon Rondo. But this series is far from over.
2010 NBA Finals: Refs Try To Force 7 Games
We examine some of the more controversial foul calls made during Game 2 to see who got the worse treatment. You’ll be shocked at what we found.
Here is the first part of our breakdown of Game 2. Some good adjustments, better play all around and Rondo has made his mark early.
Adam Morrison: Lakers’ Sub His Own Worst Enemy
After being the 3rd overall pick in the 2006 draft and being labeled the next Larry Bird, Adam Morrison has been somewhat of a lackluster in the NBA. I say, maybe he doesn’t deserve all the rotten tomatoes being thrown at him. Morrison has yet to transform into an outstanding player and there is more to him that meets the eye! (I saw Transformers revenge of the fallen last weekend and now I’m stuck in autobot mode, my apologies.) When Morrison came to play for the Bucks after the draft he averaged a mere but steady 11.8 points a game, [...]
Shannon Brown Stays in Town
The Lakers have reached an agreement with Shannon Brown keeping the athletic combo guard in L.A. for two more years. According to the Los Angeles Times, the deal is worth $4.2 million with a player option for the second year. Brown worked his way into Phil Jackson’s rotation after coming to L.A. mid-season as a throw-in for a trade invloving Vladimir Radmanovic and Adam Morrison. Jackson, who prefers bigger guards with a defensive commitment, felt comfortable giving Brown minutes as he quickly took to learning the triangle offense. Laker fans grew fond of the former Michigan State Spartan as she showed flashes of athletic [...]
