this monday at 7:30 pacific. should be a good series....i got Lakers in 6. who u going with?
-
Lakers in five. Mavericks suck.
-
LA in 5
-
Lakers in 6.
If Dallas steals a game in LA, look who is going to ref Game 3 or 4: Danny CrawFRAUD.
If the Mavs pull this off, it's almost as dope as winning the title haha.
Mavs only have bitches at the 1, so Fisher should be fine. On the other hand Fisher is the only Starting PG in the league who can't go past Kidd at will, so that's good for the Mavs, too. I hope Chandler is blocking Gasol's shit.
-
Lakers in 6.
-
id say lakers in 5, assuming their gonna keep get it going, maybe even a sweep, but if their playing like they did last series i see 7 games
-
Lakers in 6. I see the mavs winning one or two home games.
-
Lakers in 6 the way we've been playing ... should be over in 5 though, the talent level isn't that close ... Mavs 2nd best player would be the Lakers 5th best
-
Lakers in 7, both Cuban and Jackson get fined due to comments to the media.

what a shitty game..........we didn't utilize our size advantage. not makin excuses for why we lost, but i wanna know why that last foul was called on pau in the last sequence, yet when kidd shoves kobe to the floor, they let it go??.....typical nba. if we don't get ALL the calls in game 2, i will be pissed.
-
lakers in 7
-
Wow, I leave my house thinking LA won, then driving back from my friends house I hear they choked it away, ouch.
-

imo, when kobe drove it in during the last seconds he should of finished, that turnover was the killer. no doubt in my mind if we hadnt turned it over at that possession we would of won.
-
Lakers basically gave the game away ... frustrating but this jumpshooting team with soft D ain't gonna beat us 4 times ... we need to play more inside -out the next games and step up our defense ... the "what the fuck was he thinking" of this game : Phil sticking with his regular season rotations ... this is the playoffs son , this bench shouldn't play half of the 4th quarter , especially with how badly they were playing

Kobe is turning the ball over down the stretch nearly every single game this year ... and he had a very good look to win it ... not very clutch this year ... Pau mentality weaknesses doesn't help either ... the fuck was that weak attempt blocked by Chandler and his foul on Dirk :-X

i wouldnt as go as for as not clutch...
-
Kobe isn't clutch! :D
-
He went 3 of 7 in the 4th , couple of bad shots and a costly TO ... shit happens ... the 3pt was definetely makeable though
Last time your hero went for the win , his shot around the rim almost broke the backboard ... Nice 1st game for Bron as 2nd fiddle to Wade :laugh:
-
^If you think LeBron was second fiddle, I'll take your word for it. You saw quite a bit of that ten years ago. :D
-
But yeah seriously, 22 points, 5 boards, 5 assists, 2 steals & 2 blocks..LeBron sucks.
Wade was phenominal though. & James Jones took points from LeBron, but this is what he wanted. He took a pay cut & had to deal with Kobe stans telling him be is Kobe in 2002 in exchange for players who can hit shots & win.
-
I'm just messing around lol ... of course Kobe was second fiddle to Shaq .. you know the difference between me and most of the others posters here .. I'm a Lakers fan , they are Kobe fans ...

+1. 8)

lol nikcc, the lakers got like 10 bogus free throws at the end of the 1st half.. dirk got fouled 2 times in the 4th, no calls... don't complain just cause kobe ain't as clutch as you'd like him to be.

Personal fouls
Mavs - 17
Lakers - 12
FT's attempted (and 2 of the Mavs FT's were when LA had to foul on purpose)
Mavs - 11
Lakers - 20
lol@ Scittles complaining about refs when his team benefited from the refs. Talk about making excuses..
-
the refs have nothing to do with this loss ... Lakers already lost the game twice between these plays:
- when we let the Mavs come back in the game after bein up 16, by chucking long shots = long rebounds = Mavs getting baskets in transition , we couldn't do a worse job at not controlling the tempo of the game
- Lakers up 7 at the start of the 4th , reserves playing with no purpose offensively , weak D and Phil leaving them on the floor until the 6 min mark ... ::) the REGULAR SEASON IS OVER PHIL , A (INEFFECTIVE) BENCH IS SUPPOSED TO PLAY LESS MINUTES

like i said, not complaining, but if it's a foul on one end, it's a foul on the other....u know it, as well. but like i said, that's not why we lost....we lost because phil played the fucking bench for half of the 4th quarter lmao. come on, now, kobe with 35 minutes? hilarious....kobe plays the whole 4th quarter, and we win. he had 30 points through three quarters, and was the only legit offensive option for the lakers. what happens next? he sits until the 6 minute mark of the 4th....lmfao@"not clutch"....some "laker fans" are hilarious. that shot goes down, and kobe is untouchable....he misses it, and he's all of a sudden not clutch.....fickle fucks, learn some basketball. :-X

Kobe stays missig game winners in be Playoffs
, but at least this one actually had a chance to go down and was a good shot.
Either way, lakers are not losing to the soft ass Mavs so no stress. Kobe can, and likely will, miss a few more game winning shots in the Playoffs but it won't stop lakers from at least getting to the finals
One thing I'll say about Kobe; dude has no conscious. He can live with the consequences of missing the big shots, which he does more
Than anyone else in MBA history likely. Of course, the law of averages
Says he might be clutch next game

kobe had a great game and all u can concentrate on is the last desperation shot he missed.....try tellin me u dont sound like a hater lmao. focus on what actually went wrong, and that's kobe not playing enough minutes via phil's rotations. plus, kobe just made a shot like that against sacramento a few weeks back to gain homecourt advantage over dallas, i never saw u posting about that one.......

It wasnt a desperation shot, he got a good look. But he was playing well, and its the playoffs....Phil fucked up.

any shot u have to take with under 5 seconds is a desperation shot...lakers were in a desperate situation, hence being a desperation shot. not saying it wasn't a good look, but it most definitely was rushed under the circumstances. regardless, the shot is not why the game was lost. phil's cockiness was a big part of it, along with other factors (pau's pussy play, our guards off the bench not distributing properly, bynum not owning in the post, etc.)

NIK has Kobe ever been even a little responsible for a loss? Has he ever done anything wrong in your eyes? When lakers win, it's all him to you, and when the lose it's everyone else. And I never said Kobe doesn't hit big shots, I just said he misses more than anyone else, and in the last two playoff years he's been off.
Whatever, lakers gonna destroy Mavs tonight, they won't need heroics at the end of the game

I've tried this before. Its pretty creepy how NIK isnt able to admit anything wrong with Kobe.

lol, now the rules change because Kobe missed one.
Considering it's "desperation", I guess all of Kobe's game winning buzzer beaters don't count for him being clutch. It's just pure luck at that point, in such a "desperate" situation.

A Hail Mary = Desperation
A 3/4 court heave = Desperation
Annnndd....a good look from three by Kobe Bryant = Desperation (wow...)

The rules of last shots change depending on the player, duh
-
Weren't all of LeBron's misses this year, within the last ten seconds of the game? But his domination for three quarters, eleven mintues & fifty seconds don't count lol.
-
The rules of last shots change depending on the player, duh
I would hate to consider it a "Desperation" shot when my favorite player gets a good look at the buzzer. That means he would have had to been lucky for it to go in.

of course kobe has been responsible in the past...but not in a game where he was the only player on the team who was playing good, no. simply bad game to pick on kobe on your behalf, douche. when ur team relies on u in the clucth every time down, ur gunna miss clutch shots... better than being scared to take those shots in the first place, like some players........

...lol, explain me a situation where that shot isn't "desperate"..
A tie game? That's about it. He isn't taking a three with 5 left if he's winning & it wouldn't matter if he's losing by more than three..
You make no sense. :sshh:

When they refer to a desperation three, they are talking about a shot that has VERY little chance of going in. Do you think Kobe didn't have a good chance of making that good look from three??

combination of both..

:rubeyes: :rock:

I'm not sure how a back to back champions can be THAT scared on the floor ... they're were just pissing in their pants during the 2nd half
Where do I start ? :
-Well the Lakers have many problems right now but the biggest is Pau Gasol : he averaged a combined 19pts 11 rbs on 56% from the floor during our 2 championship runs in the postseason , this year 13.6 pts and 7.8rbs on 43% shooting.
The guy is playing like a pussy on both ends of the floor , doesn't want any responsability down the stretch .... rumor is he's playing like crap for some months now because his girlfriend dumped him ... LMFAO .. if that's true he should kill himself .. I know he was the reason we went to the Finals 3 years in a row ... but he can't get away with this type of play for months , it's just not one game
- Bench play : has gone worse each year since 07-08 .. Blake and Brown are so bad , they make you wish to have Vujacic and Farmar back
Blake is afraid to shoot and when he does it's a brick , he had the worst game from any player I've seen for a while and Brown is a bad shot/TO/missing defensive coverage to happen
- LO was great all year long , he has been very inconsistent in these playoffs
- first two games are another confirmation Phil is a bad in game ( or during gam) coach
We'll see what happens in Game 3 , obviously a do or die game
-
and you got to give credit to the Mavs , they have a solid gameplan on both ends of the floor and greatly execute it .. Dirk is just killing us
As for the Lakers, if we lose this series , it's time to trade for Dwight to keep this team as contenders for additional years with the young teams becoming serious threats ( OKC and Chicago plus the Heat)
-
deer in the headlights comes to mind when describing the lakers in the 2nd half
fisher needs to be moved to the bench and have someone else starting at his spot. obviously blake isn't gonna cut it, they need to find a decent starting point guard who can keep up with the younger guards on defense. it seems like a lot of the time he was just chasing his man rather than keeping in front of him
-
interesting read; http://bleacherreport.com/articles/691418-lakers-lose-to-the-mavs-again-what-in-the-world-is-wrong-with-the-world-champs
- Kobe has scored 59 points in the first two games, but he has taken 49 shots to get those points.
- Pau Gasol is scoring almost five points below his season average (18.8).
- In two games, the Lakers have shot a frigid 18 percent (7-for-39) from three-point range.
-
Last night they shot the same percentage, despite the Lakers shooting 2-20 from three. They also took the same amount of free throws, the Lakers just shot 55% from the line lol.
Now just because I can, I am going to take the NIK route here...*clears throat*...
Kobe Bryant has no heart, is overrated & doesn't make the players around him better. & also isn't clutch, as he proved in game one.
--------
Now seriously, statistics say that the Lakers have about a 5% chance of winning. But since they are the Lakers & stacked & almost due to break this cold streak, I'd say they have about a 20% to comeback & win.
However, if they don't. Crown the Heat now. 8)

I need to be on suicide watch. :(

I need to be on suicide watch. :(
Even tho it was funny to watch bandwagon Laker fans at Staples turn on the team. When they showed Cubans happy ass at the end of the game...i still wanted to punch him in the fuckin face

^^^^ if we end up losing , I'd like Dirk and Kidd getting a ring ... Dirk is just a very humble guy and his game is just sick for his size ... would be cool for Kidd too ... there are the players with Nash and G.Hill I'd like to see winning before they retire .
Dallas was matching well with the Heat during the RR ... the playoffs are a different animal though , Miami would be the favorites but the Mavs giving em some payback would be nice
I know as a Spurs fan , you disagree :laugh:

Heat came from two down in the finals against the Mavs 5 yrs ago; anything is possible but it ain't looking good for the Lake Show right now.
Will Kobe try to motivate his team or will he bitch them out? Will Kobe go balls out and do everything he can, or will he dog it (as he's suspected of doing before in the playoffs when his team looks out of it)? Will Kobe shoot 40 shots and say fuck his teammates? Should he?
Why don't the Lakers start Odom, and have him guard Dirk all game? If Gasol is so tired, as PJ says, bring him off the bench.
In Game 2, the Lakers outrebounded the Mavs, but their shooting and passive rotations killed them. I don't think they'll shoot 2-20 on three's again.
The Lakers are too talented to go out like this; game three gonna be interesting.
If Kobe can lead his team to victory in this series (he's been good, efficient, nothing more really compared to his standards), and then take out the Heat in the finals, it sure would go along way to helping his precious legacy...
-
It's not about Kobe ... the team as a whole has to wake up, I thought his performance were enough in his 1st two games ( though he fucked up at the end of Game 1 and cooled off in the 2nd half of Game 2) to win
Mavs shot a bad percentage in Game 2 but they had very good looks , they could have won this game by 20... the screen and rolls D isn't there and the players are not communicating and helping each other ... Bynum is showin up on the pick n rolls to help the guards but nobody is rotating to cover his man
On the other end of the floor , Pau has to go back to the low block and abuses Dirk like he used to .. Pau sure can't guard Dirk but the opposite is true aswell .. Pau is averaging 20 on 57% shooting against Dirk ... he has to man the fuck up ... you just can't win a playoffs series against a good team with your 2nd option playing like crap
Phil needs to play the starters as many minutes as possible and keep Shannon Brown on the bench

We'll see what happens in Game 3 , obviously a do or die game
Please lets not blame Phil, because we all know if Gasol wasn't a faggot and Odom wasn't a bitch with no balls, we would not be in this situation...and our bench is amongst the worst in the NBA, how much longer did u really think Kobe could overcompensate for all that? come on, now...Shannon Brown literally thinks his role is the same as Kobe's when he comes in the game for him...all he does is jack up shots left and right with no concsious...Steve Blake looks like he would be a bench player in the fucking D-League. Matt Barnes has been weak ever since returning from that injury... I never thought I'd EVER say this, but I miss Sasha. :-X

Fisher is the least of our problems.......
-
we miss Farmar too ... he could attack the hoop and run the break ... Never was a huge fan of him and his bonehead plays but he has never been as bad as Blake was in Game 2..
Shannon needs to be benched , I agree with the jackin up shots , the reason ? Terrible IQ BUT he's playing for a new contract as he's expected to opt out ... it leads me to a question about the coaching staff :
WHY SHANNON BROWN HAS THE GREEN LIGHT TO PLAY LIKE THIS FOR MONTHS ?????
-
never was a fan of blake, i knew we fucked up when we traded farmar, i dont see why we made so many changes to a 2 time championship team, when we made so many offseason trades i knew we were in for it.
we should of kept farmar, and we should of kept mbenga and powell because obviously they were bigger factors in practice as pau is not as effecient as last year. matt barnes was cool, but id still rather have t-mac as a back up sf than barnes, t-mac isnt young any more but can make plays, create his own shot, and play d if he wanted to.
and wow brown is just fukcing horrible. sasha 2.0

Lakers better not lose me 50$..

it was farmar's choice to leave.....same with ariza. sasha, mbenga, and powell were the only ones who we willingly got rid of, and they're not difference makers...barnes was good 2 start the season, but he came back from injury and lost his spot in the rotation, so he's been hella rusty...t-mac woulda been nice right about now. steve blake seemed legit, up until he came to town. simply not a triangle point guard. i agree, farmar>>>blake. shanon=sasha...not lookin' good, but shit aint over. barnes can still step it up in ron's absence and there was a time where shannon was a promising guard for us, so hopefully he can find it...blake seems to have good games once in a while, as well, so i'm not gunna totally write him off either,

dude passes up so many open 3 point shots, its fucking ridiculous. wtf did we get him here for, i mean goddamn he had so many good looks, fisher would of made those, farmar, shit even brown would of made those open 3's.
mbenga and powell were better for gasol in practice, this year shows

cant really judge practice....gasol was fine all year long, he's just been awful in the playoffs. he hasn't hit his season average ONCE. insane. word on the streets is it's all over a bitch that dumped him...if thats the case, he's a bigger faggot than most of the posters on wcc.

If the Thunder go further in the playoffs then the Lakers then Dubcc can officially place TheRemedy360 on suicide watch.

^^^^ if we end up losing , I'd like Dirk and Kidd getting a ring ... Dirk is just a very humble guy and his game is just sick for his size ... would be cool for Kidd too ... there are the players with Nash and G.Hill I'd like to see winning before they retire .
Dallas was matching well with the Heat during the RR ... the playoffs are a different animal though , Miami would be the favorites but the Mavs giving em some payback would be nice
I know as a Spurs fan , you disagree :laugh:
Is there any doubt the Lakers or Heat are going to win it all?
There is a ton of doubt that the Lakers will
Now there is, but those are the only 2 teams capable of winning it all.
How would that make sense if the Lakers end up getting beat by the Mavs?? I would say the Mavs have a better shot than the Lakers. It doesn't matter what your team CAN do, it only matters what they actually do. This isn't a case of the Lakers not trying. This is just them being outplayed
-
hey NIK didn't you say Farmar would be better than Lebron?
before lebron hit the nba, i said that i thought he would not live up to the hype and flop ala kwame brown.....many other peoples thought the same. i'm willing 2 bet u didn't even know who lebron was at that time.

If the Lakers end up getting beat my the Mavs, the title is Miami's for the taking. If the Mavs win it's not because they are the better team but because they were more focused and executed.

My prediction for game 3 is that Kobe shoots the lights out. Good or bad it's still his team mates that will win this game.

wow this Laker team sucks

i hate Gasol....what a piece of shit. seriously. rumor has it that his girlfriend dumped him right before the playoffs, resulting in his disgusting play of late...another rumor says his girl dumped him due to the wife of one of his laker teammates, and that now Gasol is not on speaking terms with that teammate. if any of this is true, Gasol is the biggest faggot in the history of the Lakers. Hall-of-fame chances revoked, possibly because a girl dumped him...what a gayboy.
-
i hate Gasol....what a piece of shit.
i thought u said he was the "Best big man" in the league
even inclkuding Howard?
-
on the real, this is the end of Kobe. he'll never win that 6th ring unless he leaves to a better team.

who cares what he's been in the past, he's CURRENTLY playing like a fucking faggot.....in his fucking prime. it's not like he's old ass ray allen losing his touch due to age, he's fucking coming off a prime season. most unexpected turn-around in any laker player history.
-
you wish Gasol was half as good as his position as future hall-of-famer Ray Allen
-
on the real, this is the end of Kobe. he'll never win that 6th ring unless he leaves to a better team.
Kobe does not need to leave, idiot. LA is the hottest destination for any big free agent....word on the streets is Dwight is comin 2 LA. if we get swept, i want Pau traded. I will be perfectly fine with a new twin tower combination of Dwight+Bynum.

2nd-fiddle? if he came to LA, Dwight would come here as a defensive anchor ALONGSIDE Bynum...I said twin towers because I wanna see them in the starting line-up TOGETHER, assuming we acquire him. Dwight entered the league as a power-forward, and played most of his rookie season at that position. If Dwight goes to LA, it will be the smartest decision of his life...we'll see what's good.

Excution down the stretch is the difference in this series ... Mavs are movin the ball while we stopped running what was working for us the whole game i.e pick n rolls and going to Drew inside ... to play some Kobe iso at the top of the key , just stupid ... but why I am posting this anyways , y'all only interested in Kobe legacy and clowning Nik

saw this at the bar last night, alotta laker fans walking out pissed the hell off.
I think magic hit it on the head earlier this year (whom sold his share of the lakers while the gettin was still good) he said "This is an older team, there is less margin for error now"
Points are harder to come by, kobe isn't going into the paint because he knows the Mav's are long and they will swat his shit King James style into the bleachers. He only had
1 FREETHROW ATTEMPT!!
Lakers had an 8 pt lead and then started chuckin up jump shots going away from Andrew Bynum.
IDK why everyone is looking at Gasol funny, this guy has been coasting all yr and visibly lost a step.
Lakers shouldnt even get out of bed the next game, they should just lay in a hole and throw dirt on themselves. its over son hand over the wheel bitches!! daddys home!! MIAMI HEAT 2011,2012,2013,2014,2015,2016 NBA CHAMPIONS yall saw the smoke machine ceremony at the beginning of the season muhahahah :P

sorry wcsoldier, youre the only one who bothers to make some real basketball posts right now, must be a hard time going along with your team on the verge of a sweep. but im too happy to make some real basketball posts right now.
what i wanna say is this: yall niggas be talking shit like the lakers were soooo bad that sweeping them doesnt mean anything or something. being up 3-0 with 2 road wins does mean a lot, even if they lost a step. mavs are legit title contenders now, yall niggas forget how hard the dallas bigs can make it for lebron and wade driving to the hoop and how good dallas is at forcing the other team to shoot the ball. james and wade arent great jump shooters, and with haslem out, noone can guard dirk. don't crown the heat just yet, only because the lakers look very vulnerable.

At this point I would still pick most other playoff teams over the Mavs, but after seeing how well they've been playing against LA I guess anything is possible.

Dwight can't win alone, obviously...and Kobe is no longer at a stage in his career where he can single-handedly win titles. If no supporting player on the Lakers plays at an all-star level during these playoffs, we would be dumb to keep this team in tact. Even Jordan was never able to do that...Magic had Kareem, the greatest center to ever play. Only dumb groupies such as urself use the "riding the cottails" excuse, cuz they know the Lakers always gunna be great, no matter what...we don't rebuild, we re-invent.

Gasol was great in the regular season...he hasn't hit his season average yet in the playoffs, and that's through 9 games. nobody ever won a ring with their primary big shooting at a 40% clip. Anyways, the series aint over yet.

So now we gonna act like arrest and gasol didn't save kobes ass last year?
NIK, are you aware of what a revisionist is?
-
NIK is a troll. He just responds stupid for attention. This has been confirmed.
-
I don't know what's going on with the Lakers' pick and roll defense. Kobe just double teams Dirk and virtually ignores Jason Kidd. Combined with their shitty rotating, their making the Mavs look unstoppable. :'( They might as well just abonden double teaming.
-
Kobe agrees...
"Down the stretch of the game we made some of the dumbest defensive mistakes I've seen us make all year" - Kobe Bryant
-
I didn't watch the game so I could be wrong, but judging by the highlights it looks like they were leaving guys open for 3's the whole game.
-

They kept doubling Dirk. That was not effective since he'd just pass to Kidd, who would wait for the Lakers late roation and pass it to an open wing player. At this point it's better to just play Dirk one-one-one and let him rape Gasol instead of letting the Mavs drain 3 pointers all night.
-

Nobody saved anyone, Kobe was hands down the best player on the team last season and led the Lakers to 2 straight titles....saying Artest saved Kobe would be like saying John Paxson saved Jordan. Die, dumbshit.

Kobe's soft, he needs a Shaq and a Gasol to lead him to rings.

for this reason alone i'm hoping the lakers can win the next 4 :D

yep ... I would still put LO on Dirk down the stretch though ... Dirk had success against him in this series but at least LO is trying harder than Pau ... Gasol ain't even trying 50% of the time
Our defensive rotations were horrible , Kobe was leaving Kidd wide open all night , Dirk was all by himself three times at the 3pt line with no Lakers closed enough to contest ( seriously how do you leave one of the best shooters ever wide open ?) and LO late rotations are responsible for Peja 3's .. this is when we missed Artest in this game.. wouldn't have happened
-

The Lakers have been pretty poor defensively against the three for sometime now. And the best offense against them is if you have a big who can play the perimeter and a good PG, then just pick and roll all game. Fisher is too old to stop anyone at the point, and the Laker bigs get worked on the perimeter

So now we gonna act like arrest and gasol didn't save kobes ass last year?
NIK, are you aware of what a revisionist is?
Nobody saved anyone, Kobe was hands down the best player on the team last season and led the Lakers to 2 straight titles....saying Artest saved Kobe would be like saying John Paxson saved Jordan. Die, dumbshit.
Kobe's soft, he needs a Shaq and a Gasol to lead him to rings.
LOL @ calling Kobe soft and mentioning Gasol in the same sentence.

Um, Paxson didn't put in game-winning putbacks on MJ game-winning misses, did he? Refresh my memory, maybe I'm mistaken. And your childish name-calling is getting tired. We both know you don't talk to people like that to their face. I'm also quite sure Paxson never outplayed MJ in a deciding game of a finals, but again, I could be wrong. Mad props to him on the game winner against PHX though, it was the right call.

lol@ comparing Artest to Paxson. MJ always showed up in the finals. Its known that Kobe doesnt do his best work there.
-
At least Kobe Ain't Goin out today like he has in other elimination games. But yo someone get a hand in Jason terry's face
-
Or peja's! He Goin off! This reminds me of when the magic beat the cavs a few year ago; a team shooting this good is impossible to stop. Of course, no team can shoot like this consistently , and it's why the Mavs wont win the championship likely
-
this is beyond beautiful.
-
LOL, goodnight LA. :laugh:
-
ouch ron artest got hung on a wide open dunk lol and at the other end jason the jett terry shoots a 3 ball, IF i was a laker fan i wouldve turned off the TV LMFAO
we still got room on the wagon hop on over to the Dark Side :laugh: miami heat 2011 champs
-
Spoke too soon; Kobe finished 1-8 after starting out hot.
How fucking bad is the lakers d? Berea 6-7?!!
As for the Heat NauticaIce, with their curret line-up they shouldn't be able to win, but it's definitely possibly and I wouldn't be mad at it
-
Lakers just too old yall need to drop a bomb on the roster and see what peices yall can get to athletic and possibly nabb Dwight out of orlando out his contract yr.
lakers gettin rolled under the street sweeper
Heat have everything to win it all.. Were sporting a championship defense that doc rivers said "is like having 5 deon sanders back there"
We just seen boston's best shot with there backs against the ropes and miami's lackluster effort. But i fully expect the Heat coaching staff to make adjustments all across the board and be ready to take that next game. After Boston, The bulls who im pickin to win in their series is not seeing us.
-
haha FUCK the lakers. i hope bynum dies soon.
-
That's pathetic. Sore losers.
Kobe, where you at bro? I thought your heart was too strong for this? Even LeBron didn't get swept. :D
-
I can't feel sorry or mad for players who obviously don't care to be owned .. the good thing in this disaster is we are getting Howard and will remain strong contenders for years to come
-
The end. The Lakers won't have the greatest coach in the history of the sport to carry them to the Finals every year. Ain't no one going to trade for a mentally broken Gasol, physically challenged Bynum or nutcase Artest.
Fishing time.

Kobe only advances in the playoffs when he's riding a post player that averages nearly 20 points a game.

Pathetic attempt all around.
-
Gonna be hard to blame this one on David Stern or the refs...
How the fuck were Peja and JT so open? Pathetic effort from the entire lakers team. Sad way for the greatest coach ever to go out but it looks like he stayed on a year late
-
Lakers confusing the heart of a champion by being cheap shot artists.
-
I hope Kobe demands a trade to Chicago.
-
I hope Kobe demands a trade to Chicago.
Hell Nah lol

Chicago could get rid of Noah and have room for Kobe
-
Lakers went in the Finals three times in a row .. last time teams went in the Finals 4 times in a row were Lakers in 85 and C's in 87 ... y'all are funny

-

and yet Dallas swept them
-
^^^^ and that's exactly the point ... any team will be both mentally and physically wear down after this run
-
the LAkers have won like 6 of their last 18 games or some crazy stat like that
they just weren't that good this year
-
I'll give my take on this whole thing as a Laker fan..
it's pretty confusing as to how Pau Gasol looked invisible on the court after hundreds of consecutive games the past 3+ years
I've watched all those games, and he's a big factor in 99% of Laker wins, and rarely the blame when they lose, another positive
not that I don't credit Dirk's length to altering his style of play.. but Gasol looked shitty in the N.O. series as well
if he got merely outplayed by Dirk because he was "tired" ::) then I wouldn't be hard on him... but he got smashed on
Lakers teams of Phil Jackson always take the hard road to victory is seems, but I've never seen such a mysterious collapse
not even a month ago, the verdict pretty much was: if the LAL use their size, no one can beat them
so knowing they can play that way and knowing they have the mental edge over Dallas...
how they could relax from the jump and let it get out of hand is always the head scratcher
everyone knew the Laker bench was weak, only Odom is a factor, but the top players should of held it down, and half of them didn't
another note.. where was Ron Artest today? haha guy was a ghost, I don't even remember him
I'd like to ask them this 'crazy' question: Who the fuck goes into a Game 4... down 3-0, mind you, on the road
...all the while shooting 19% from 3pt range... and tries to match DAL with 3's?!
...and DAL is shooting above 40%!=... what kind of gameplan is that?
...Kobe and Bynum were the only ones showing any effort or balls to score on offense
....everyone in my eyes either 1) bitched out or 2) sucks....
the whole team this Game 4 looked like they were playing hot potatoe with the basketball

no, but Paxson and Kerr hit big game-winning shots, which woulda made MJ look really bad if they missed 'em...same goes both ways. u cant use the example in one scenario and completely ignore it in another. as for how i talk 2 people outside of this board,i have no idea how u'd "know" that...but just like everything else u "know", you're wrong. anyone who disses Kobe is a complete joke to the sport of basketball, regardless. if u dont see this yourself, u should be ashamed of urself.

lol@ comparing Artest to Paxson. MJ always showed up in the finals. Its known that Kobe doesnt do his best work there.
remind me a time when MJ's second option performed as badly as Gasol did this year...shit, I don't even think there was a time when his 3rd option played as bad as Gasol.

lol @ blaming the cast. Do you know what Wade or LeBron without each other would do with a team like that? JESUS. Not even fair.
Certainly not completely just disappear after the first quarter lol.

maybe u didn't watch the game...Kobe had 15 points in the first half on 6-8 shooting, and Lakers were getting smashed on. it's not like LeBron of last year, who totally quit on his team with 1-leg out on his way to Miami...It's already been proven that if Kobe plays with another star player, he wins titles. This year, Gasol was no star in the playoffs. Odom was also pretty bad. But nobody expected Gasol to play like this. NOBODY.
-
Stop acting like you didn't have Bynum & Odom.
& stop acting like Gasol didn't save Bryant's ass last year. Where is the payback?

i think howard will stay put and orlando will build a team around him. no way they want another shaq fiasco occuring

The Lakers never really played perimter defense. They kept double teaming Dirk or sag towards basket everytime a Mav towards the lane the there was always a 3 pointer ready to make a shot. Divine intervention had something to do with it too. The Mavs couldn't miss a 3 if they tried. :o
-
Holy shit.....that shit was fuckin terrible. Kind of ironic after Bynum made that comment about the Spurs starters quiting during a regular season game against them. And here the Lakers quit in the playoffs. I don't ever think I've seen so many wide open threes.
-
Oh and I don't really like Barea...but Bynums cheap shot was fuckin classless. What a bitch.

...it's the playoffs. Most teams aren't even around to root for lol.
& if you mean even in the regular season, you have to understand. This is a West Coast forum. There are like six Laker fans here, and maybe three of four fans of other teams that post regularly. We're pushing into Laker discussion. If this were an ESPN.com forum, there wouldn't be nearly as much Laker talk.
