Jim Rome's take on LA
« on: April 05, 2004, 12:45:53 PM »
Heard part of his radio show this morning, he didn't once discuss what the Spurs did right, only mentioned on the fact that LA didn't show up. Jim Rome...the biggest homer on air.

Yeah LA. It wasn't the Spurs that beat you, it was the fact that you didn't do something right.  Not like you weren't shut down or anything. (insert stat, Bryant making 9 of 26 attempts here.) <_<

Oh Wow you ought to hang on for the show following Romes here on SoCals largest.   Course Rome is national, i suppose you dont get Extra 690/1150 based out of Cult Headquarters in LA.  "Homers" is a mild term.  You can meet Krishnas to the 10th degree.  Vic the Brick Jacobs is some New York transplant who has statues of Kobme and Shaq on his car, in his home, office and restroom.  He brouges his voice to give some worshipful auroa everytime he bablles about their succees.  The two man talk show has Steve Hartman who is great and can be very open even tho he roots for the Lakers.  On the other hand Michael Thompson is gonzo.  I mean he is such a Nozer its gagging.

I only listen to the "Loose Cannons".  Everyone else on sprots talk 690, especially Jim Rome, are beneith me.  I don't want my b-ball IQ to drop to the level of the rest of you posters.

I think that Bowen had his best game ever against Kobe -- but are you suggesting that it will happen every time?  Bowen has always made Kobe work hard but I'm not sure that I agree with the assessment that it's a given conclusion that it's going to happen again.  Kobe LIVES for the opportunity to redeem himself.

You mean redeem himself again?  (see game 6 in last season's playoffs) Like they showed yesterday Kobe's lifetime shooting % against Bowen is 5 or 6 percentage points lower than his overall average.   Against Bruce, Kobe regularly "scores" about 1 pt per shot just like yesterday (28 pts on 26 shots).  Also Kobe didn't get his second assist until 5 minutes left in the game.  Or to quote an old 80's tune: It's a one time thing...it just happens alot.

Bruce shuts everybody down, not a onetime thing by a longshot. If LA dosen't go to the promised land, you can thank Kobme for that.

WOW, the fact that someone would post that they listen to Rome should tell you all you need to know about them.

For a minute there, I thought I misread and saw Lakermania instead of Laker Fan.

"They listens to Rome"?

Tsk, tsk, Dan.  ;)

If you watched last year's WC semifinals, you'd have seen Bowen do the same thing he did yesterday four times in that series. Sure, Kobe will get his, but at what expense? He alienated the other players and stagnated the offense yesterday, which is exactly what Pop wants. Kobe tries to make it into a one on one thing, and Bowen will win that one everytime, simply because that is the Spurs strategy. One point per a shot is perfectly exceptable when you consider Shaq scores about 1.5 points per shot and fouls everyone out in the process.

The only way the Lakers beat the Spurs is through Shaq, and Shaq doesn't seem to be a big part of the Lakers (and Kobe's) plans. As a Kings/anti-Laker fan, I start screaming "SHOOT!!!" everytime I see Kobe with the rock. GO KOBE!!!

Are you guys talking about the playoffs last year when Kobe was playing on a shoulder that required surgery?  Nah..couldn't be, you guys are better than that.

So you're saying an injured shoulder caused him to pass to Shaq less?

Interesting theory.   ;)

Actually, I don't listen to the Pimp in the Box, can't pick him up where I work. Running an office errand, and I inadvertantly picked it up.  OK?  I'm out. :D

And if he ends up having surgery again this summer then the excuse is already tried and true.  Just gotta hope wherever he has the surgery only has male employees at the hotel.  B)
