i stated earlier that duncan wasn't playing good in the first half and then got hot in the 2nd half. turiaf wasn't playing in the 4th until late in the quarter, Kwame played most of the time on duncan, i was watchin the game man u cant pull that shit past me.
kobe did have back spasms, his shots werent all short, most of em hit the rim and didnt go in, bowen was D-in him up good, all the commentators/analysts were sayin that bowen played great Defense on kobe. you're just hatin on bowen REAAAAAL bad.
and they did say earlier in the game that kobe had back problems....you just hate hate hate

that kid up there is an idiot man, and you should know better then to even respond to his posts lol. u notice i almost never respond to him anymore, or even read his garbage really. As for Kobe's "back spasms" being his excuse. lol Cmon.

in 4 games this year the Spurs are holding him to 38% from the field and 16% (goddamn) from the three point line. He's regularly 44% from the field and about 34% from three. Theyre holding him almost 5 points under his average. The point totals arent a big deal, but the shot percentages are. It doesnt really matter if he scored 40 or 30 points. If he scores 30, and shoots 50% from the field then its good for the team. If he scores 40 and shoots 30%, its bad. Kobe must be having those back spasms alot against the Spurs and Bruce Bowen. lol. Kobe is obviously a great scorer, but Bowen is also a great defender. Throughout the game Kobe was having a hard time shakin him (like the other games this season, "its the back spasms im tellin yah" lol). Most of the times Kobe was gettin open looks was when he was gettin help with screens on Bowen. U gotta remember Cottie, that little dood up there knows absolutely NOTHING about basketball. Im sure he'll come in here and say a bunch of stupid shit now. And say that the lakers won championships a few years ago, and how great they WERE with Shaq and all that. Completely disregarding their losses lol But to be real, who gives a shit? Unless Shaq is gonna come help u in the playoffs this year....does is matter? LA will more then likely still be bounced out in the first round. They arent any better then i predicted they would be. I said theyd be a low seed in the playoffs at best...they are. Theyre barely above .500, not a surprise. Holding onto this idea that "Phil....in the playoffs, we're unstoppable" lol is fuckin stupid. As if Phil has this plan to all of a sudden just come alive in the playoffs. Phil wants to win every game of the entire season. Theyve won half of them. Some of u guys are acting like the season just started. Theres like 10 games left, your team should be at its peak right now. Youre supposed to peak going INTO the playoffs. If this is the Lakers "peak" (which it is), they lose in round one. Maybe their lucky and it goes past 5 games.

You can't let Tony Parker get to the paint like that. you gotta knock him on his ass. remember in 2004 playoffs TP abused the Lakers the 1st 2 games and then in (Game 3) shaq put his bitch ass on the floor, And then TP played like shit the rest of the Series. Phil should of told Kwame to foul TP hard.

the all NBA became and still becoming in the paint softer and softer homie, outside the Wallace , Kirilenko and Zo, though the " easy" calls as soon as there is a contact are without a reason why.....

lol Kirilenko? Youre putting his toughness in the paint on the same page as Wallace/Zo? Wow. I feel what youre saying as far as the role of bigmen in the league. Its been changing for years tho. Thats why u have shit like Yao being actually the best center in the league right now lol. Cus there are none. For bigmen to succeed now they have to be able to take it outside also. Shit look at Rasheed. His game is NICE down low....but he camps on the three point line now more then anything.

The thing is, the second we knock parker on his ass, the refs will call a flagrant and the player will get suspended. This isn't the NBA of old when a player could get socked in the grill and nothing happens. The play that got Kobe suspended for 2 games earlier this year looked pretty tame to me.
I was watching classic NBA, Pistons verses Celtics in the 1987 playoffs. There was a play where Laimbeer rebounded the ball and then Robert Parish hit him 2 times in the face. Nothing was called on Parish, no ejection, not even a foul was called. Players getting clotheslined going to the hoop was commonplace back then. The league ain't having that anymore and I don't think even the abuse we handed TP in 2004 would fly now.

LMFAOOOOOOO!
It seems to me that everyones forgetting that we're playing without our starting center, Chris Mihm... we also just came off a 4 game winning streak without him, he was like our second or third option all season long. Not only that, but we were facing the Spurs, the best team in the fuckin' league, what do you guys expect? Kobe was off, and we still managed to keep uo with them and even lead by 6 in the 3rd quarter...They just took off and started hitting everything. you gotta understand, we're also missing a lot of inside presence, we need Mihm and Kwame playing TOGETHER in the 4th...Some shit I'm reading in this thread is unbelievable...Some Laker fans are COMPLETELY two-faced...It's like when we're winning they talk about how great we are, how we're gunna surprise in the playoffs, and as soon as we lose one game it's back to "the whole team sucks"...Trust me, when we are healthy, and everyones functioning correctly within the triangle, we will be a TOUGH match-up, no matter what anyone says... :-*
