Do the Lakers have a chance?

(1/7) > >>

Before the series started, everybody was saying how the Lakers were going to dominate the Pistons.  Now they're on the brink of being defeated.  Anybody here think they have a shot at winning it all?   :-\

Yes, they have a chance...They beat the Spurs, who are a better team than Detroit, 4 games in a row...What makes you think they can't win 3 against Detroit?...All they need is to steal the next one in Detroit, and they have a good chance...PeACe

 I'm a tru Lakers fan, but for them to win now they'd have to work their hardest every game they play from now on without fouling piston players. (Shaq has been putting in all the work he needs help from the other players)

I wouldn't say that I'm a Laker fan.  I'm more of a Kobe fan.  Before the Lakers acquired Kobe, I never watched their games.  It sure would be nice to see Kobe win especially with all of the stuff he's facing right now.

I think in order for the Lakers to win, they need a new coach.  Phil Jackson is highly overrated and right now it's really showing.  He wastes timeouts, he puts players in at times that don't make sense.  Same thing goes for his match ups.  Why wear Kobe out running around chasing Rip when you need his energy on the offensive side?  Why call a timeout between Ben Wallace free throws?  What is that gonna do... throw off his rhythm?  The boy can't make them anyway.  Those are just some of the mistakes by the so called zen master.

The other thing is the refs.  I know I'm not the only one who notices how the Pistons get to hack the Lakers but the Lakers get whistled for simply bumping into somebody.  If you ask me, I think these games are rigged.  Maybe the refs were told to give Detroit these games to prolong the series.  More games=more money for the NBA.  I don't know... I'm just upset at the outcome of these games.  I guess it wouldn't be the end of the world if Detroit wins... at least it's not the Kings.
