    Tim Duncan wasn't hurt tonight. He merely took a day off from the daunting post-lockout grind to rest his bones, and his Spurs beat the Sixers anyway, 93-76. The ESPN.com boxscore says "DNP-REST." The NBA's, pictured above, wasn't so politically correct. "DND-OLD." Poor, poor, old Tim Duncan. He turns 36 in a month.

    honestly ... i missed the game ... all i can say is that the team has barely been blown out all season and has way too many wins ... we've played tough against all the playoff teams ... many games without our best player and a lineup of scrubs ...

    i really like the foundation of this team ... with valunciunas coming in and hopefully a top 5-7 pick in this year's draft (plus 2 second rounders we might be able to move up in the first round or get another one) ... we should be solid the next few seasons ... basketball is fleeting ... some decent talent combined with solid role players and a good coach and you can compete ...

    yikes ... Raps had to intentionally miss 2 FT's and to not box Deng out to make sure you guys won ... :lol:

    I can't imagine the feeling of playing a 4-OT game and not winning. That stings, for sure...

    I completely agree, what a way for the president of the players union to act. I have lost a ton of respect for Fisher.

    I'll be honest, I kind of lost respect for Fisher with the whole Utah ordeal. I sympathized for his daughter, and I would never partake in the low taunting that some Utah fans did with covering their eye and stuff, but I didn't buy his reasoning, and I do believe that he just wanted to play in a Laker uniform again. He really does set a shining example as the president of the players union.

    The line "go to a city that will be accomodate her needs" seemed a little funny. We have some pretty well regarded cancer facilities here in Utah with specialists for particular types of cancer, not sure why those wouldn't have accomodated for his daughter's situation. I somewhat translate that to "somewhere with a more certain chance of a championship."

    I could be very wrong in questioning his intentions, and I have no reservations against doing what's best for his daughter... all I'm saying is things didn't quite stack up right.

    i totally agree with mr. kemp here. i've always felts griffin's dunks aren't even really dunks because he barely touches the rim. even the really nasty ones that everyone hypes up.

    kemp used to nearly tear the rim off every time he drove the lane.

    I know you're not a baseball guy, but fisher's explanation was akin to that of a baseball pitcher named mike hampton - he signed a $121M contract with the rockies and said the determining factor was the denver school system :lol:

    You're right, the medical facilities could of treated his daughter there. I think she just wanted to be in familiar surroundings while going through such a traumatic experience, which is understandable. All I can say is that showed a lot of class on Utah's part by allowing Fisher to return to the Lakers.

    Very understandable.

    Class on the ownerships behalf, lack of class by some fans with their cover-one-eye taunts. :(

    Even Larry Miller himself said before he died that he thought "it did look a bit funny" the way things turned out, but he didn't believe that Fisher or Buss would do anything underhanded. http://www.webcitation.org/61jEYpXu6

    I agree that there are few dunkers as intense as Kemp, but he invented the "throw down" dunk, where he would go up like he was gonna tear the rim down and then slam it down with little to no contact with the rim.

    His best in game dunk to me...in the Finals when he spun baseline on Rodman and reversed it on the opposite side and proceeded to crotch-face Rodman.
