I thought Corbin made two bad decisions on the Lakers game.
1) Bell on Bryant. First off, Bell played excellent D to send the game into overtime.
But if someone looked at Bryant's stats against Bell and then against Howard I can guarantee that Howard played him better. The sample space would be much lower, but Howard played excellent on Kobe the last minutes. Bell's so much smaller than Kobe and never puts his hand up.
2) Jefferson in crunch time. When Jefferson can't do any offense...he's just not a great player. He played OK D today but Kanter and Favors were a good match for the Lakers big men. It wouldn't have hurt to have Favors in and actually I would argue that Favors would have not gotten blocked by Bynum in that last Big Al attempt. Favors needs more minutes badly. 11:47 while a struggling Al got 43:18 is not a good decision at all.

I think he's just saying that those players might be able to contribute more in games when Big Al isn't shooting well. Basketball is a team game.

What do you have to lose when Al is doing anything?

Favors should have gotten at least 20 minutes. We CANNOT beat the lakers with Millsap and Jefferson, its been proven to us TIME and TIME again. If Millsap got hot like he did, then you throw in Favors at the 5. You don't give one of the most skilled big men in the NBA only 10 ****ing minutes against one of the most talented 4/5 combos in the NBA, especially when you're noticing that Al is shooting 30%.

Anyone have more pics of Shirley. Looking for some action shots, maybe near that old winnerschnitzel on state st. I'm so intrigued.

Did you just call Favors one of the most skilled big men in the NBA?
I think he did.
There's an amazing collection of magical papyri translated by Hans Dieter Betz, et. al.; perhaps we could pull some examples from here? They were quite popular thousands of years ago and enjoyed a resurgence when he translated them. They're not quite as cheesy as the counter jinx, however.

Do you not think he is or can be? Are you blind?
