There is one Key : Defense.. if we can slow it down during most of the series , we'll win.. don't forget last year in the 3 wins, Suns scored under 100 pts.. I hope EVERY player will enter this series focused and not making stupid mistakes... the thing I wonder is can we increase the level of our defense intensity i.e stay with the shooters and don't let opening lanes ect.. offensive wise Lamar has to abuse (no homo) Marion as he did last year by posting him up, Luke has to do the same thing with Barbosa, be aware we're bigger at each position (unless Diaw starts) so I DO hope we aren"t jacking 3s like morons.. we can do it, players have to use last year as motivation.. Ronny , if staying outside foul troubles, can be a key factor in this battle.. to be honest I'm way more worry about weak mentality of most of the roster than any other things
lmao...peace out lakers
Who wanna bet his account with me? I did it 12 months ago, and i've lost it. This time i won't.

Lol you love having me in your mouth don't you?
kwame could possibly be the deciding factor.
No problem. I'm about to eat in one of the best restaurants in Lecce (i mean italian restaurants, you know what i'm saying? Not your bullshit german ones :P)(oh, and italians do it better, but you already know), with very important people from the UN (United Nations) Organization. And then i'll probably fuck my wife, later in the night. So i'm cool anyway, don't trip. :P
It all rests on Kwame and Odom.
Yea, but Kwame is the main difference-maker. If he can hold his on the defensive end (like he usually does) and makes the shots he's handed, then the series is ours, no doubt. I almost had a heart attack when I heard Kwame might not play in the playoffs...But yea, Suns are a weak overall team, especially in the post-season. If our bigs do what they're asked, it should be no problem to advance. Now, when we face Dallas or San Anotnio, THAT'S where the real challenge is at IMO.

KOBE ISGODHUMAN
Kobe needs to pass the fuckin' ball!
Kobe needs to pass the fuckin' ball!Or at the very least try to take an OPEN shit.
Kobe needs to pass the fuckin' ball!
Yeah i'm very disappointed.
Kobe needs to pass the fuckin' ball!
Yeah i'm very disappointed.
Too many forced shots. It was clear that they weren't dropping for him, and he was being double teamed.
Farmar should have been in the game to start the 4th quarter, not Smush.
We gave this fuckin' game away, we were leading pretty much the whole game.
I'm so fuckin' pissed right now I could punch someone.
I hate playing Phoenix.
It's alright....That's okay....Well of course nothing is done.. but I'm very dissapointed the way we basically gave this game... coz that was happened, we make things WAY too easy for the Suns to come back
I'm not worried. Lakers showed they can easily hang and D'Antonio is the type of coach that makes no adjustments...Lakers WILL win the next game, and all we really need is a split. Keep your head up, Laker fans. We CAN handle these punks. Just wait and see Tuesday.

^^I agree. Kobe couldn't turn it on in the 4th this time, but he only came in with 5 mins left and all the momentum was already on the Suns side. We shoulda' went for the kill in the 3rd and had Kobe rest until the 7 or 8 min mark in the 4th. I also thought Farmar did a good job, he shoulda stayed in the game when the Suns came creepin' back. Honestly though, I think this will truly wake the Lakers up. Now they KNOW they can beat the Suns. Kwame and Lamar are not physically the same players they were last year, but I believe our depth will show for that. Don't trip...PeACe

farmar was lookin real good:sign_werd: Farmar did an excellent job. Passing, scoring, even defending Nash. Gotta give props to Kwame for playing through injuries and Odom for notching yet another double double (16 rebounds). In the end Kobe is responsible for this loss. Some of the shots he chose were plain retarded. Why don't they try positioning Kobe with the ball some place else other then the top of the key? A side from that there was some good team play and it's something to build upon.
kobe lost us the game though at the end with the ball hoggin

No. Those crazy shots Kobe makes deify logic. His shot selection is poor and he STILL makes some of those crazy ones. That's one of the ways you can tell he's a special player. Regardless if he makes them or not, they are still poor shot selection.farmar was lookin real good:sign_werd: Farmar did an excellent job. Passing, scoring, even defending Nash.

Most of those shots, if Kobe makes them, are great shots...And he usually does. But he was simply cold after sitting out most the 4th...I don't really blame him, Odom missed a few oppurtunities, as did Evans, Kwame, Turiaf, etc...Everyone as a whole just went cold in that 4th quarter...It was purely a mental loss...PeACe
we going get the next games and play good D that all we need to do.They did play good D. They held THE SUNS to 39 points in the first half. That's fuckin' amazing.

LOL, I believe it's the other way around. Phoenix simply has too many weapons. LA cannot go to Kobe every single time down the stretch, especially not against Marion, Bell, etc. He missed what, 11 of his last 12 shots. The Lakers won't be able to squeeze 4 wins out playing that way imo.
and the the next games as well...i did it watch the games so i could not what was going on but the first 1qtr i watch it a little bit they was doing pretty good.we going get the next games and play good D that all we need to do.They did play good D.

How often does Kobe have a meltdown in the 4th? Playoff Lakers > Playoff Suns.

I know this is gonna hurt you kid, but 1 player does not equal a good team. While Kobe's offense is AMAZING at times, he cannot carry this Lakers team past Phoenix and you know it. Kwame is not a good player, neither is Smush. Smush can't guard Nash or Barbosa and Kwame can't guard Amare. The Lakers bench played well, but Phoenix's subs will outplay them every time. I'm not a hater, just a real fan who sees that LA doesn't match up well with Phoenix. Lakers would have been better off playing Utah, a team that cannot guard SG's. Phoenix will be advancing, and again I'm saying it as a non-partial fan.

Didn't look dumbfounded to me, looked like they were waiting for the 4th to make a statement.

Great logic. "Lets give him a bunch of consecutive bad calls since he's complaining about a bad call we made". LOL. Almost funnier than you claiming Phoenix was "waiting" for the 4th...You do realize they only scored 39 points in the 1st half, correct? Phoenix made a run (sparked by the refs) when their backs were already against the wall. To claim they were "waiting" is absurd.

It's obvious that the complainers/bitches/whiners get bad calls, yes that is good logic at work. When I said Phoenix was waiting for the 4th, I meant it. Of course they scored 39 in the 1st. They played like shit, and were still close. Phoenix is capable of making a run and beating you at anytime, regardless of what happened the 1st 3 quaters. You can't say I'm worng because they DID win, and convincingly at that. I know your a Lakers dick licker, but be a man for once, little boy. You can't blame the refs. They didn't make Phoenix's shots go in, and they didnt make the Lakers cave under the pressure in the 4th. Phoenix can beat this team, I don't understand why you have to make excuses.

Good logic is the following kid: Farmar is a rookie, he had a foul called on him, got his panties in a bunch and made mistakes. He argued the calls, which is a no-no, not unprofessionalism on the ref's part. They do there job, this ain't street ball kid. They Farmar got overly aggresive with that negative attitude and got fouls called on him. If Bell or whoever did this, you wouldn't say shit. How can you deny that Phoenix was waiting to make a run? THEY DID! And they won, that's how they win games, that's how they play. They kept the game at a comfortable closeness, and took over when it was time to do so. What's sad about LA, is that Phoenix shot under 40% in the 1st half, and was still able to come back and win easily. Those ARE excuses that you are making. Phoenix is a better ball club, simple as that, no need for your young ass to make excuses. I told you, if LA played Utah in round 1 they would be better off. Grow up, little guy.

They didn't make Phoenix's shots go in, and they didnt make the Lakers cave under the pressure in the 4th. Phoenix can beat this team, I don't understand why you have to make excuses.
Since when did unprofessionalism become "good logic"? You really are confused, huh? Phoenix wasn't close? Lakers were up by AT LEAST 9 or 10 for a good portion of the game. If you think this is because Phoenix was "waiting to make a run", then you don't even deserve to watch basketball. Nobody's making excuses. Lakers WILL win at least 2 of the next 3...PeACe
Good logic is the following kid: Farmar is a rookie, he had a foul called on him, got his panties in a bunch and made mistakes. He argued the calls, which is a no-no, not unprofessionalism on the ref's part. They do there job, this ain't street ball kid. They Farmar got overly aggresive with that negative attitude and got fouls called on him. If Bell or whoever did this, you wouldn't say shit. How can you deny that Phoenix was waiting to make a run? THEY DID! And they won, that's how they win games, that's how they play. They kept the game at a comfortable closeness, and took over when it was time to do so. What's sad about LA, is that Phoenix shot under 40% in the 1st half, and was still able to come back and win easily. Those ARE excuses that you are making. Phoenix is a better ball club, simple as that, no need for your young ass to make excuses. I told you, if LA played Utah in round 1 they would be better off. Grow up, little guy.
If a player complains, that doesn't mean bad calls are supposed to go against the team, jackass. You're allowed to argue calls in the NBA, especially terrible ones like the refs made against Jordan. Your logic is dumb, but what can you expect from a douche named "Reefer Alston"? Seriously though, what the fuck do you mean "how can you deny that Phoenix was 'waiting' to make a run?"... Are you fucking kidding me? Smart guy, no NBA team "waits". Phoenix was attempting to make a run the whole game and couldn't. Lucky for them, their run finally came in the closing period. They don't "play like that". Phoenix never scores that low to begin a game. The game wasn't at a "comfortable closeness" either, Lakers were up 12 in the 3rd. Trust me, nothing is sad about the Lakers holding the Phoenix to shooting under 40% in the first half. They did that with superb defense. Unfortunately, we couldn't sustain that defense in the second half...And don't call me little guy, it's obvious you're doing it to feel bigger, since you can't achieve that through debating. I'm 20 years old, 6'5" 185 lbs. Nothing's "little" about me... You, however, are a mental midget when it comes to debating basketball... :-\
Watching the game it looked like the Lakers got away from running the offense in the 4th. Other players did have good looks for them but they did not hit the shots. Those misses in turn create fast break opportunities for Phoenix. You can't beat Phoenix shooting under 45% in a quarter like that. The Lakers have the gameplan to beat Phoenix, but they have to make shots.

True, but who besides Kobe can make those. Phoenix plays at such a fast pace that LA, and any other team for that matter, are going to have trouble getting into a set offense or defense. To beat Phoenix, you have to MAKE them play half court basketball, and it's not as easy as it sounds.
I hate playing Phoenix.
Why? We easily have the best chance against them, as the first 3 quarters today proved. They're only good when we let them be...PeACe
Yeah too bad a game is 4 quarters.
What's your point? You're not disputing what I just said.
The point is, the score at the end of the 3rd quarter isn't what counts, the score at the end of the 4th quarter is what matters.
The point is, we can beat Phoenix EASILY with execution.
Lol @ beating Phoenix easily. No team can beat Phoenix, Dallas, or San Antonio easily.
back to the topic: Farmar was great, but he got screwed by the refs. I know ya'll saw that 4th "foul".
Any team who knows how to slow it down correctly can beat Phoenix easily. Did you see how dumbfounded they looked when we executed the right way? Out of the 4 fouls called on Jordan, only 1 was actually a foul... :-\
Didn't look dumbfounded to me, looked like they were waiting for the 4th to make a statement. You know why Farmar was getting bad calls, cause he's a baby and was bitching about every call like he's a vet or something. Dude was acting like a prick out there, this is the playoffs, time to step it up, and grow up/
Great logic. "Lets give him a bunch of consecutive bad calls since he's complaining about a bad call we made". LOL. Almost funnier than you claiming Phoenix was "waiting" for the 4th...You do realize they only scored 39 points in the 1st half, correct? Phoenix made a run (sparked by the refs) when their backs were already against the wall. To claim they were "waiting" is absurd.
It's obvious that the complainers/bitches/whiners get bad calls, yes that is good logic at work. When I said Phoenix was waiting for the 4th, I meant it. Of course they scored 39 in the 1st. They played like shit, and were still close. Phoenix is capable of making a run and beating you at anytime, regardless of what happened the 1st 3 quaters. You can't say I'm worng because they DID win, and convincingly at that. I know your a Lakers dick licker, but be a man for once, little boy. You can't blame the refs.

A player complaining does have an effect on bad calls against HIM. The rest of the calls were what they should have been. Bottom line, little guy, the Lakers were not going to win that game, even if the refs had given them favorbale calls, 1 on 5 basketball is not going to get the job done. Phoenix was basically chillin the 1st 3 quaters and turned in on when it was time. You can;t argue that because that's what happened. They kept it comfortable, then took over. It was comfortable because Phoenix can come back from double didgits leads at any time, if you wrent a dickrider, you could admit this. Lakers looked like an AAU team trying to guard Barbosa, pure comedy.
Phoenix was just not making shots in the 1st half. They got what they wanted, just didn't fall. the Lakers couldn't keep up in the 2nd half because they not as good of a team as Phoenix. If the :Lakers have to play that damn hard to lose by 10 points, the rest of the series could be blowouts. I call you a little boy because you act like a child, and really none of the shit your saying makes any sense. You post like a 14 year old, kid. And again, why do you feel the need to curse and attack my personal character just because I'm presenting a good debate against your team? Why baby Elior?
You giving me your height and weight lol! I'm not scared, and don't think of you any diffent than before you told me that. Now I just see a tall, gangly white kid who sits on his computer all day and hates on other people. Thanks for the funny visual, kiddo.

Only a moronic idiot who doesn't watch sports (let alone basketball) would think a team purposely loses 3 quarters of a playoff game. You're seriously pathetic with your arguments...If you think the refs didn't sway the momentum, you need help. If the Lakers played defense like they did in the 1st half, they woulda won. That's undeniable. And remember, it was you who started with the personal insults, due to your lack of basketball knowldge...And I'm not white, shithead. :-*

Look at this little guy with all the insults...moron?, idiot?, pathetic?, need help?, shithead? Your a Jew, your white, correct? Kid you are hurting and running out of steam. Why are you the only one disagreeing with me? I never said Phoenix was purposley losing, they were simply taking it easy as to not waste energy. Little boy, I've been watching the NBA since 93, I do know my shit, and your the only one here who would disagree.
LOL at u still reaching. If the Lakers could play "defense" like that the would have won. Maybe, but they are not even capable of that.

That's undeniable. And remember, it was you who started with the personal insults, due to your lack of basketball knowldge...And I'm not white, shithead. :-*
Look at this little guy with all the insults...moron?, idiot?, pathetic?, need help?, shithead? Your a Jew, your white, correct? Kid you are hurting and running out of steam. Why are you the only one disagreeing with me? I never said Phoenix was purposley losing, they were simply taking it easy as to not waste energy. Little boy, I've been watching the NBA since 93, I do know my shit, and your the only one here who would disagree.
LOL at u still reaching. If the Lakers could play "defense" like that the would have won. Maybe, but they are not even capable of that.
LOL@thinking being Jewish has any connection with being white. You truly are a moron, you know that? And that's not only in regards to basketball, as you've proven. Lakers are not capable of playing defense the way they played defense? How does that even make ANY sense whatsoever, moron? Remember who started throwing personal insults. It was you...Now you've just given me the freedom to shit all over you without feeling guilty about it.
You say you've been watching since 93, well I've been watching since 87... Not that it indicates I'm above you, only your constant use of "little boy" would indicate that. It proves your inferior complex. You know I'm above you. You know you have no credibility on this site. So shut the fuck up and start making valid points instead of talking shit...All I've been saying is that the Lakers could win this series, which you still can't disprove. All you can do is be your usual punkass self, so be my guest. :)
I'm waiting for NIK to go to his classic, "GO READ SOME LAKERS BOOKS!" comeback.
Watching the game it looked like the Lakers got away from running the offense in the 4th. Other players did have good looks for them but they did not hit the shots. Those misses in turn create fast break opportunities for Phoenix. You can't beat Phoenix shooting under 45% in a quarter like that. The Lakers have the gameplan to beat Phoenix, but they have to make shots.
True, but who besides Kobe can make those. Phoenix plays at such a fast pace that LA, and any other team for that matter, are going to have trouble getting into a set offense or defense. To beat Phoenix, you have to MAKE them play half court basketball, and it's not as easy as it sounds.
That is so true and they almost dared someone else to make a shot in the 4th. Farmar, Evans, they all had good looks at the basket but it did not fall. And misses create more offensive possessions for Phoenix.
I'm waiting for NIK to go to his classic, "GO READ SOME LAKERS BOOKS!" comeback.
I hate playing Phoenix.
Why? We easily have the best chance against them, as the first 3 quarters today proved. They're only good when we let them be...PeACe
Yeah too bad a game is 4 quarters.
What's your point? You're not disputing what I just said.
The point is, the score at the end of the 3rd quarter isn't what counts, the score at the end of the 4th quarter is what matters.
The point is, we can beat Phoenix EASILY with execution.
Lol @ beating Phoenix easily. No team can beat Phoenix, Dallas, or San Antonio easily.
back to the topic: Farmar was great, but he got screwed by the refs. I know ya'll saw that 4th "foul".
Any team who knows how to slow it down correctly can beat Phoenix easily. Did you see how dumbfounded they looked when we executed the right way? Out of the 4 fouls called on Jordan, only 1 was actually a foul... :-\
Didn't look dumbfounded to me, looked like they were waiting for the 4th to make a statement. You know why Farmar was getting bad calls, cause he's a baby and was bitching about every call like he's a vet or something. Dude was acting like a prick out there, this is the playoffs, time to step it up, and grow up/
Great logic. "Lets give him a bunch of consecutive bad calls since he's complaining about a bad call we made". LOL. Almost funnier than you claiming Phoenix was "waiting" for the 4th...You do realize they only scored 39 points in the 1st half, correct? Phoenix made a run (sparked by the refs) when their backs were already against the wall. To claim they were "waiting" is absurd.
It's obvious that the complainers/bitches/whiners get bad calls, yes that is good logic at work. When I said Phoenix was waiting for the 4th, I meant it. Of course they scored 39 in the 1st. They played like shit, and were still close. Phoenix is capable of making a run and beating you at anytime, regardless of what happened the 1st 3 quaters. You can't say I'm worng because they DID win, and convincingly at that. I know your a Lakers dick licker, but be a man for once, little boy. You can't blame the refs. They didn't make Phoenix's shots go in, and they didnt make the Lakers cave under the pressure in the 4th. Phoenix can beat this team, I don't understand why you have to make excuses.
Since when did unprofessionalism become "good logic"? You really are confused, huh? Phoenix wasn't close? Lakers were up by AT LEAST 9 or 10 for a good portion of the game. If you think this is because Phoenix was "waiting to make a run", then you don't even deserve to watch basketball. Nobody's making excuses. Lakers WILL win at least 2 of the next 3...PeACe
Good logic is the following kid: Farmar is a rookie, he had a foul called on him, got his panties in a bunch and made mistakes. He argued the calls, which is a no-no, not unprofessionalism on the ref's part. They do there job, this ain't street ball kid. They Farmar got overly aggresive with that negative attitude and got fouls called on him. If Bell or whoever did this, you wouldn't say shit. How can you deny that Phoenix was waiting to make a run? THEY DID! And they won, that's how they win games, that's how they play. They kept the game at a comfortable closeness, and took over when it was time to do so. What's sad about LA, is that Phoenix shot under 40% in the 1st half, and was still able to come back and win easily. Those ARE excuses that you are making. Phoenix is a better ball club, simple as that, no need for your young ass to make excuses. I told you, if LA played Utah in round 1 they would be better off. Grow up, little guy.
If a player complains, that doesn't mean bad calls are supposed to go against the team, jackass. You're allowed to argue calls in the NBA, especially terrible ones like the refs made against Jordan. Your logic is dumb, but what can you expect from a douche named "Reefer Alston"? Seriously though, what the fuck do you mean "how can you deny that Phoenix was 'waiting' to make a run?"... Are you fucking kidding me? Smart guy, no NBA team "waits". Phoenix was attempting to make a run the whole game and couldn't. Lucky for them, their run finally came in the closing period. They don't "play like that". Phoenix never scores that low to begin a game. The game wasn't at a "comfortable closeness" either, Lakers were up 12 in the 3rd. Trust me, nothing is sad about the Lakers holding the Phoenix to shooting under 40% in the first half. They did that with superb defense. Unfortunately, we couldn't sustain that defense in the second half...And don't call me little guy, it's obvious you're doing it to feel bigger, since you can't achieve that through debating. I'm 20 years old, 6'5" 185 lbs. Nothing's "little" about me... You, however, are a mental midget when it comes to debating basketball... :-\
A player complaining does have an effect on bad calls against HIM. The rest of the calls were what they should have been. Bottom line, little guy, the Lakers were not going to win that game, even if the refs had given them favorbale calls, 1 on 5 basketball is not going to get the job done. Phoenix was basically chillin the 1st 3 quaters and turned in on when it was time. You can;t argue that because that's what happened. They kept it comfortable, then took over. It was comfortable because Phoenix can come back from double didgits leads at any time, if you wrent a dickrider, you could admit this. Lakers looked like an AAU team trying to guard Barbosa, pure comedy.
Phoenix was just not making shots in the 1st half. They got what they wanted, just didn't fall. the Lakers couldn't keep up in the 2nd half because they not as good of a team as Phoenix. If the :Lakers have to play that damn hard to lose by 10 points, the rest of the series could be blowouts. I call you a little boy because you act like a child, and really none of the shit your saying makes any sense. You post like a 14 year old, kid. And again, why do you feel the need to curse and attack my personal character just because I'm presenting a good debate against your team? Why baby Elior?
You giving me your height and weight lol! I'm not scared, and don't think of you any diffent than before you told me that. Now I just see a tall, gangly white kid who sits on his computer all day and hates on other people. Thanks for the funny visual, kiddo.

1st of all, check my posts, I bring more to this site than you do imo, matter of fact your the only one wh has a problem. All you bring is negativity to the board, and you need to get your lufe together.
Your comprehesion sucks kiddo. Lakers are not capable of playing that way for an entire game, and you will see when Phoenix bounces them out. I'm sure youll blame the refs though lol. Ur 20 years old, you haven't been watching since you were born, get the fuck outta here. Again, my credibilty lies in my posts. Since we been at it, I haven't seen anyone saying I'm wrong. While u got plenty that know ur full of crap. The Lakers can NOT win this series, which will be proven when they lose. Every point I have made is a valid one, while your defending your team.
Again, you stay throwing insults, and btw Jews are white. Why do u get so upset to the point of cursing at me? For someone who claims to blaze as much as you do, your an angry little guy.
Until you mature up, you will still be referred to as the "little guy".
LOL @ Kobe's only fg in the 4th coming in spectacular ball hoggin fashion: Farmer under the basket , NOBODY within 8 feet of him, frantically waiving his arms "Pass the roc nigga!!!", while Kobe ignores him and dribbles around 4 people for a fall away layup
I just heard on ESPN that Kobe was criticizing his team mates for the loss. He's the leader of the team, he took all those missed shots in the end of the game, the blame lies with Kobe. Period.

Nothing is Kobe's fault.
Ever.
Taking contested shots while double teamed. Good play.
Not passing out to open teammates. Smart play.

i also blame the lakers for not landing KG

We can still do it...Time for the Suns to sleep. Lets take care of these next 2 at home. Remember, I said we'll win 2 out of the next 3 after game 1...Anyone think that's impossible? Cuz I don't.
well with this roster, they never will.. if we surround Kobe with a 2nd star and some good players, we gonna win some titles
That being said, Lakers are not anywhere near to being the team they were with the great Shaquille O'Neal.
2..........0
And Laker fans (was one myself) are still in denial about their team.
Shoulda never let the big man go...!!

Living in the past? How long has Kobe had to organize the game plan with the Lakers?
Yeah, Shaq is old...however look at both team's records? What were their standings last when the seasons ended? How far did each team get?
You muthafuckers still fail to see that the only thing Kobe is good for is building HIMSELF as a player. He has absolutely NOTHING to contribute to the Lakers.
Let's forget and focus on Game 3... anything can happen , nobody thought the Suns were gonna come back from a 3-1 deficit so you never know.. even if it's very frustrating (woke up at 4.30 am to watch this game :D..). It's obvious we're not at the same level we were last year, both as team and indivuals players, when the Suns have added Amare in the middle.. if we go on playing like this, we'll be swept but I know some players gonna react and defend Lakers pride.. plus it's an usual thing in the playoffs, when a team is down 2-0 and has been destroyed in the 2nd game, game 3 is often won by this team..
Let's not forget the conference semifinals in 2004. Lakers were down 2-0 and won the next 4 games versus San Antonio. 8) Admittedly the Lakers aren't as good as they were 3 years ago, but the Suns aren't as good as the Spurs either.

Shaq is old, the Lakers in the early 2000's, had a better supporting cast, and Kobe had yet to come into his own yet. Now it's Kobe's time, it's just a matter of getting a team around him. You are living in the past dogg, the Lakers had to move forward, and they did. They are building, and trading Shaq made them better this year than if they kept Shaq, bottom line.

Were not on the same level as last year as individual players? We have a better roster on paper this year, man...It's the mentality we came into the playoffs with that's killing us. Last year, we went in with an 11-3 record (in our last 14 games). This year, we came into it down on ourselves...Now ask yourself, do you really believe our talent has subsided that much this year? The additions of Farmar, Evans, Turiaf, Radman, and the emergence of Luke and Bynum IMPROVED us talentwise...But we just cant get over that mental hump. Hopefully, this did it for us. :-\
And does anyone else miss Chris Mihm as much as I do? I mean, last year you couldn't feel his absence as much, cuz Kwame was playing his game and tearing it up. This year, with the injuries and what not, Kwame has been lacking and we've been hurting majorly on the inside. Phil really needs to give Turiaf and Bynum more minutes...I mean, Bynum got 9 points (4-7 FG) and 12 rebounds in only 17 minutes...And Turiaf only came in the game when it was already over...That's a little upsetting.

You're the exact same reason this lame ass Los Angeles team keeps the non-sense up.
Owners KNOW Kobe's bitch ass is a good marketing to the league.
There'z another 2.3 billion dumbass puppets like you supporting an unssuccessful ass, unorganized group of idiots running around the court.
Until us TRUE Laker fans change that shit, which is almost impossible, we'll still see a hogging ass muthafucker like Kobe puttin on a show just for himself....who can't get passed the playoffs.
So both of you asswipes can shove #8 up your asses.
^^ +1 the lakers need to do something drastic in order to win. kobe is not enough
I have a good feeling the Lakers are going to win today. The home crowed will go crazy and will help rejuvenate the Lakers. Don't know what's going to happen in games 4 or 5 though.

Know why Kobe Bryant's 45-point effort was so great? He did it quietly. It wasn't the typical, floating jumper-filled, going-up-over-three-and-four-bodies efforts that have become the norm during his recent scoring orgy. Bryant lifted his teammates. Morale was a major part of L.A.'s victory, largely due to how he played, not forcing the action. That's all I've been saying all along. Can you recognize the difference between hating and constructive criticism, Lakers fan?

Good win for LA, Phoenix so out of it, and Marion was playing like an idiot. Kobe took it to another level, now his teammates need to get a little more confident. Kwame played better than maybe ever. Sunday is gonna be nuts!

Yeah Phoenix seems like they forget how to play sometimes with a big lead. They lack killer instinct at times. But give all the credit to that Laker D and Kwame and Lamar stepping up HUGE. Can't wait for Game 4.
I like Tony Mejia's articles. Before the playoffs he was giving the Lakers props all season. Especially to Bynum.

Morale was a major part of L.A.'s victory, largely due to how he played, not forcing the action. That's all I've been saying all along.

This guys a moron. It was the TEAMMATES who picked it up, Kobe played his regular game.
I like Tony Mejia's articles. Before the playoffs he was giving the Lakers props all season. Especially to Bynum.

Can you blame him? Lakers could'nt do shit to Suns in the first two games
Good win for LA, Phoenix so out of it, and Marion was playing like an idiot. Kobe took it to another level, now his teammates need to get a little more confident. Kwame played better than maybe ever. Sunday is gonna be nuts!
Yeah Phoenix seems like they forget how to play sometimes with a big lead. They lack killer instinct at times. But give all the credit to that Laker D and Kwame and Lamar stepping up HUGE. Can't wait for Game 4.
I'm def a bigger fan of Phoenix's style of play, but props due to LA's defense as well as Kobe going nuts in the 4th. I think Phoenix has that mindset that they can go on a big run at anytime of the game. The team was just not themselves last night, but mostly due to the Lakers play. When Nash is turning the ball over like he was, the opposition has gotta be doing something right.

You're a fan of regular season success? Cuz Phoenix will NEVER be a playoff team with their fundamentally offending system. It may be fun for the casual fan, but the ones who know the game understand what I'm saying...PeACe
I think I'm gunna go with a sign that says "TinkerBELL...Stop flopping".

But they ARE a playoff team, they got past the 1st round last year, and they will this year too. I do know the game, I'm just not obssesive over it like some people.
Any suggestions for a sign I could take?

"ING is not a real Laker fan" ;D
Because of the imbalance, oft-maligned forward Vladimir Radmanovic could return to the active roster for today's game. Radmanovic was deactivated for Games 2 and 3.
"I'd like to get Vlade back dressed again," Jackson said. "He's looking like he's shooting his shots again [in practice]."
Brian Cook, who has a couple of minor injuries this series — a sprained left thumb and a sprained left ankle — could be put on the inactive roster to make room for Radmanovic.

Is it too soon to be talking about the offseason?
Is it too soon to be talking about the offseason?Naw.. get a good point guard and trade Lamar-Bynum for Jermaine Oneal (the star we apparently have the more chances to acquire).. I've already seen comments "Bynum is the future" coming but I don't give a fuck being a contender in 2015.. and for Lamar, John Barry (who has been horrible through the game, the BEST Nash dickrider I've ever heard) said ONE good at the end of the game : Odom is a very good player but Kobe and him haven't done nothing together
Damn. I might trade Bynum or Lamar, but definatly not both of them. And O'Neal can opt out of his contract in the offseason, so trading him wouldn't even me necceassary. Anyways, Rik said we can't talk about the offseason yet.Is it too soon to be talking about the offseason?Naw.. get a good point guard and trade Lamar-Bynum for Jermaine Oneal (the star we apparently have the more chances to acquire)..

Nik, the "ones who know the game understand" that Kobe can't win by himself and that the Lakers never truly stood a chance in this series. Kobe is an amazing player, one of the best ever, but you can't watch Nash and tell me he isn't better than Kobe right now. When the Suns win the title this year, promise us all you will shut the fuck up, or better yet leave this site..........DEAL???
^^^^ to get a high quality player, we'll probably to give it up both.. anyway it's all speculation but I don't see the Buss family trading Bynum.. some of Lakers fan may be pleased with the organization but I'm not AT ALL..
Why the hell would you want to get rid of Walton? He's a stand out player. Vlad Rad is the one that needs to go. One PG is all this team needs.One PG is ALL we need ? I disagree on that, regarding the fact we'll not acquire a top 5 PG... there is no consistent down low on this team.. are you aware our game is 95% on the perimeter? jacking up 3s .. we even shot more 3s than the Suns yesterday ..
trade Lamar-Bynum for Jermaine Oneal

Good to hear you talked like this....Us Laker fans should never accept mediocrity...fuck being a "Playoff Team" (put together a championship team)....fuck being "good enough to hang with the good teams" ....4 out of the last 7 playoff games we've being blown out....that's unaccepteble..we need to sorround kobe with talent
3 years a go, we could of had Baron Davis,,lakers didn't do the trade
last year, Ron Artest...lakers didn't do it...
this season.....jason kidd....ddidn't do it...
I like bynum for dunking on shaq but if we could get a superstar for him then trade him..(along with lamar)
i like walton,,,but he's not good on defense...get G.Wallace from the bob cats....
And listening to Jim/Jerry Buss, Mitch.......it sounds like they are going to use the injury excuse to not make moves this summer...
Vlad, bynum, Farmar, Turiaf, have to be great next season or it's going to be a nother 45 win season..
I watched the game again & Gawdamn,these guys don't talk to each other on defense they looked lost..they're to slow....PLEASE MAKE MOVES TO IMPROVE THE TEAM,,JIM, JERRY, MITCH :'( ...we need speed/athletic dudes to defend...kurt rambis said a couple months a go that almost everyone on this team wants to make an impact on offense not defense

Man , being a huge fan doesn"t prevent being realistic.. You know as much as me you are going nowhere with this roster.. you stay positive , props for that.. but I'm very frustrated with this situation, we're the Lakers, we can't be satisfied with that.. Lamar and Bynum for Oneal is probably too much but sth has to happened this summertrade Lamar-Bynum for Jermaine Oneal
:puke:
We had to win game 1 but there is no question about yesterday, Suns outplayed us in the 2nd half.. plus having a shot at winning a game and actually winnning it is a huge difference... Kwame, Mihm can have nice games here and there but 1st they often injured, 2ndly they won't bring this consistency that will bring us to the next level... I'm just realistic and state factsWhy the hell would you want to get rid of Walton? He's a stand out player. Vlad Rad is the one that needs to go.

Are you aware that Kwame has been out more than half the season and is still playing on some battered ankles? Are you aware that Chris Mihm was out for the whole season? Are you aware that Bynum is quickly developing? You guys need to calm down. We had a good chance at winning 2 out of 3 games that we lost to the Suns in this series. If Lakers woulda' won yesterday, none of you would be saying this, and that's what I hate about ya'll...We were a missed call away from making a strong comeback on several occions. I was at the game. Every time the Lakers made a run and the momentum was shifting, the refs sucked the energy right out of the arena. The turning point for me was when the Lakers were making that strong run and Kwame had an And-1 to cut it to 8, I believe, but the refs called it a charge, Lakers got down on themselves, Suns ran back and hit a 3, and there's your 5 point switch+the game...Not saying the refs are the whole reason we lost, but if we woulda' won (and we had a chance), NONE of you would be bitching this much...PeACe
^^Agreed, O'Neal is not much of a team player, and he's not old, but he's getting there. His teams don't have much playoff success either. If any big men need to be traded, it's Kwame, Mihm, Cook or that moron Radmanovic. Stick with Bynum, he is this team future, and it's the smartest thing to have a young, explosive big man on your squad.1st yeah Mihm(FA), Cook ect have to be traded 1st but for they won't bring key players in exchange... then please stop arguing with Bynum being the future.. there is a player called Kobe who will turn 29, is on another level , we have to play for Championships now, not in 5 years..

Good win for LA, Phoenix so out of it, and Marion was playing like an idiot. Kobe took it to another level, now his teammates need to get a little more confident. Kwame played better than maybe ever. Sunday is gonna be nuts!
Yeah Phoenix seems like they forget how to play sometimes with a big lead. They lack killer instinct at times. But give all the credit to that Laker D and Kwame and Lamar stepping up HUGE. Can't wait for Game 4.

Do you honestly hate the way the Suns play bball??? Personally, i am not a die hard fan of the Suns, but enjoy watching unselfish basketball and fastbreak bball. Seriously, who is better than Nash on his own team? Stoudemire is athletically gifted but a lot of his baskets are just so damn easy because of Nash' passing. And honestly, i know Kobe is the better player than Nash, but i a said RIGHT NOW, and that would be hard to argue tat Kobe has been better than Nash in this series.
Really, these dudes are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT players. If you look at it, the Lakers would be HORRIBLE if they traded Kobe for Nash, but the Suns would be nowhere near as good with Kobe instead of Nash. Nash can't do it on his own like Kobe (who else can besides Jordan in his prime), but Kobe wouldn't use a supporting cast if he had one like in Phoenix. The only team that can stop the Suns is S.A., and who really wants them to win?
Nash has the media on his dick to the point that it is pathetic, but what is also pathetic is other people who refuse to acknowledge how amazing he is as a player. Bottom line is he is smarter than everyone out on the court every game, never panics, and makes people better. Who does Kobe make better? Who really wants to play with Kobe???

I'm def a bigger fan of Phoenix's style of play, but props due to LA's defense as well as Kobe going nuts in the 4th. I think Phoenix has that mindset that they can go on a big run at anytime of the game. The team was just not themselves last night, but mostly due to the Lakers play. When Nash is turning the ball over like he was, the opposition has gotta be doing something right.
You're a fan of regular season success? Cuz Phoenix will NEVER be a playoff team with their fundamentally offending system. It may be fun for the casual fan, but the ones who know the game understand what I'm saying...PeACe
Nik, the "ones who know the game understand" that Kobe can't win by himself and that the Lakers never truly stood a chance in this series. Kobe is an amazing player, one of the best ever, but you can't watch Nash and tell me he isn't better than Kobe right now. When the Suns win the title this year, promise us all you will shut the fuck up, or better yet leave this site..........DEAL???
If the Suns win the title, I will shoot myself in the head and/or never watch basketball again.
LMAO@"you can't tell me Nash isn't better than Kobe right now". Nash isn't even the best on his team... ::)
Do you honestly hate the way the Suns play bball??? Personally, i am not a die hard fan of the Suns, but enjoy watching unselfish basketball and fastbreak bball. Seriously, who is better than Nash on his own team? Stoudemire is athletically gifted but a lot of his baskets are just so damn easy because of Nash' passing. And honestly, i know Kobe is the better player than Nash, but i a said RIGHT NOW, and that would be hard to argue tat Kobe has been better than Nash in this series.
Really, these dudes are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT players. If you look at it, the Lakers would be HORRIBLE if they traded Kobe for Nash, but the Suns would be nowhere near as good with Kobe instead of Nash. Nash can't do it on his own like Kobe (who else can besides Jordan in his prime), but Kobe wouldn't use a supporting cast if he had one like in Phoenix. The only team that can stop the Suns is S.A., and who really wants them to win?
Nash has the media on his dick to the point that it is pathetic, but what is also pathetic is other people who refuse to acknowledge how amazing he is as a player. Bottom line is he is smarter than everyone out on the court every game, never panics, and makes people better. Who does Kobe make better? Who really wants to play with Kobe???

I HATE the way Phoenix plays basketball. It's a disgrace to the game. They rely on offense, and that's why they will ALWAYS be a post-season failure. But the thing that gets me the most is that there are teams out there tryna duplicate this style, which could really harm the game as we know it. This is why I say the Suns are terrible for the sport. It may be fun to watch for the casual fan, but that is NOT real basketball. *RUN, RUN, RUN, pass, jack up shot, run back on "defense", flop, hope for a charge, repeat till game over*.... That's not real basketball...Streetball? Okay, but don't try telling me this is how the game is played by professionals. The Suns have a lot of shooters, so jacking up countless shots WILL win them regular season games, but when it comes down to the playoffs, where every possession is magnified, any REAL team united is capable of destroying their "game plans"...People give Nash too much credit for Phoenix's offense. Put ANY top point guard in place of him (Jason Kidd for example), and Phoenix will have the same success, if not greater...
and LMAO@"who wants to play with Kobe". That's funnier than you claiming Jordan did it on his own... :-X
the lakers will win the next game.

Bullshit, that's Nash's offense, no other guard could run it with the same results. He was successful in Dallas too with that style, even though they didn't win a championship. As for that style of play winning a championship, that has yet to be seen. They have a good chance this year, but San Antonio is a good defensive team, if they hold Phoenix under 100 they will win almost everytime.

You don't think Kidd could run Phoenix's offense? You know why? Because you've been brainwashed by the media...Steve Nash played a completely different offense in Dallas. He was NEVER a "first option" (let alone an MVP caliber player) until he was traded to Phoenix. I refuse to believe Nash magically improved his status from borderline all-star to back-2-back MVP within one off-season, WHILE IN HIS 30'S.... if you put any point guard with a basketball mind in Phoenix's offense, they'd be able to run it. ...I think if Nash and Kidd were traded, NJ wouldn't make the playoffs, and Phoenix would be a contender...PeACe

You come up with some interseting conclusions for having never met me. I may not obsess and lose sleep over basket ball like you do, but I'm certainly not brainwashed by the media. Kidd couldn't run that offense because he is not a big of a scoring threat as Nash is. Nash is still not a 1st option on Phoenix either, he just structures the offense, same as he did in Dallas only with different players ( of course the offense will be different, I think you just said that to say it ) the only reason your having trouble with the fact that Phoenix is a sick team and Nash is an MVP candidate is because you have hate in your blood.
And Nash would have NJ in the playoffs easily, if Carter & Jefferson were too stay. Of course Phoenix would be a good team without Nash, but he is what makes them a contender.
NIK....... I can't believe you picked the Lakers to win. The Lakers lost the series last year and the Suns didn't even have Amare Stoudamire then. I think that if the Mavs get knocked out by Golden State the Suns will win it all. I predicted that last year, because if they could make it to the Western Confrence Finals without Stoudamire, imagine what they could do with him.
I was gonna reply to NIK myself, but you guys pointed out everything i would've said.
And NIK: I never said Jordan did it all by himself, i said him and Kobe are really the only players i have seen who can really do it all themself.
However, NIK i find it odd that you have such a problem with how the Suns play, yet you think Kobe jacking up 30-40 shots is great basketball??? The Suns may not win a title with their style, but neither will a team with Kobe as the main option.............the fact that you predicted the Lakers to win is ridiculous. The Lakers have basically the same team as last year, except the young guys have more experience, and somehow are worse!!! Phoenix, on the other hand, has a much improved Barbosa, and Stoudemire, an actual interior presence. People that like the SUns style of play are not all brainwashed, quite the contrary. You talk about the team who jacks up the most shots will win some games, but the Suns don't just jack up shots, they lead the league in every single shooting category, and play UNSELFISH basketball. That's where you and i differ. I would rather watch unselfish, team basketball, you would rather watch your boy mancrush do it all himself.......
Good win for LA, Phoenix so out of it, and Marion was playing like an idiot. Kobe took it to another level, now his teammates need to get a little more confident. Kwame played better than maybe ever. Sunday is gonna be nuts!

Phoenix is not contending in the playoffs...Lakers are playing shitty and it coulda been 2-2 right now if we woulda' closed out Game 1. Kidd can score, in fact, before Nash met Phoenix's offense, Kidd was a better scorer than Nash his whole career...What does this have to do with "hate in my blood"? MANY people know how overrated Nash is, especially considering he only plays 50% of the game... We will see who was wrong when the Suns fail to reach the finals ONCE AGAIN.

The Suns have won almost 20 more games than the Lakers. Kinda makes you wonder how people think the Lakers are a better team...
I'm not saying the Lakers are terrible, but honestly, there must be a reason why their records are the way they are. Especially seeing as they are in the same division.
Good win for LA, Phoenix so out of it, and Marion was playing like an idiot. Kobe took it to another level, now his teammates need to get a little more confident. Kwame played better than maybe ever. Sunday is gonna be nuts!

And honestly, i know Kobe is the better player than Nash, but i a said RIGHT NOW, and that would be hard to argue tat Kobe has been better than Nash in this series.
Really, these dudes are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT players. If you look at it, the Lakers would be HORRIBLE if they traded Kobe for Nash, but the Suns would be nowhere near as good with Kobe instead of Nash. Nash can't do it on his own like Kobe (who else can besides Jordan in his prime), but Kobe wouldn't use a supporting cast if he had one like in Phoenix. The only team that can stop the Suns is S.A., and who really wants them to win?
Nash has the media on his dick to the point that it is pathetic, but what is also pathetic is other people who refuse to acknowledge how amazing he is as a player. Bottom line is he is smarter than everyone out on the court every game, never panics, and makes people better. Who does Kobe make better? Who really wants to play with Kobe???
I HATE the way Phoenix plays basketball. It's a disgrace to the game. They rely on offense, and that's why they will ALWAYS be a post-season failure. But the thing that gets me the most is that there are teams out there tryna duplicate this style, which could really harm the game as we know it. This is why I say the Suns are terrible for the sport. It may be fun to watch for the casual fan, but that is NOT real basketball. *RUN, RUN, RUN, pass, jack up shot, run back on "defense", flop, hope for a charge, repeat till game over*.... That's not real basketball...Streetball? Okay, but don't try telling me this is how the game is played by professionals. The Suns have a lot of shooters, so jacking up countless shots WILL win them regular season games, but when it comes down to the playoffs, where every possession is magnified, any REAL team united is capable of destroying their "game plans"...People give Nash too much credit for Phoenix's offense. Put ANY top point guard in place of him (Jason Kidd for example), and Phoenix will have the same success, if not greater...
and LMAO@"who wants to play with Kobe". That's funnier than you claiming Jordan did it on his own... :-X
Bullshit, that's Nash's offense, no other guard could run it with the same results. He was successful in Dallas too with that style, even though they didn't win a championship. As for that style of play winning a championship, that has yet to be seen. They have a good chance this year, but San Antonio is a good defensive team, if they hold Phoenix under 100 they will win almost everytime.
You don't think Kidd could run Phoenix's offense? You know why? Because you've been brainwashed by the media...Steve Nash played a completely different offense in Dallas. He was NEVER a "first option" (let alone an MVP caliber player) until he was traded to Phoenix. I refuse to believe Nash magically improved his status from borderline all-star to back-2-back MVP within one off-season, WHILE IN HIS 30'S.... if you put any point guard with a basketball mind in Phoenix's offense, they'd be able to run it. ...I think if Nash and Kidd were traded, NJ wouldn't make the playoffs, and Phoenix would be a contender...PeACe
You come up with some interseting conclusions for having never met me. I may not obsess and lose sleep over basket ball like you do, but I'm certainly not brainwashed by the media. Kidd couldn't run that offense because he is not a big of a scoring threat as Nash is. Nash is still not a 1st option on Phoenix either, he just structures the offense, same as he did in Dallas only with different players ( of course the offense will be different, I think you just said that to say it ) the only reason your having trouble with the fact that Phoenix is a sick team and Nash is an MVP candidate is because you have hate in your blood.
And Nash would have NJ in the playoffs easily, if Carter & Jefferson were too stay. Of course Phoenix would be a good team without Nash, but he is what makes them a contender.
Phoenix is not contending in the playoffs...Lakers are playing shitty and it coulda been 2-2 right now if we woulda' closed out Game 1. Kidd can score, in fact, before Nash met Phoenix's offense, Kidd was a better scorer than Nash his whole career...What does this have to do with "hate in my blood"? MANY people know how overrated Nash is, especially considering he only plays 50% of the game... We will see who was wrong when the Suns fail to reach the finals ONCE AGAIN.
They are a contender, at least they made it past the 2nd round, which is more than u can say for your team. Lakers are playing shitty?, that's how they play. Kidd may have had more points than Nash before Nash came to Phoenix because 1) he was a star player 2) Nash didn't play the minutes Kidd did 3) Kidd has been playing longer than Nash so of course he will have more points. If Nash isn't a good scorer, why can't the Lakers stop him? Know what, don't even answer because your never gonna be right about this.
I never said Phoenxi will reach the finals, but they will contend, they are now. Your just butthurt that they beat the Lakers imo. And some advice for ya little guy, maybe you should stop making guarentees about basketball, because you are wrong damn near everytime. I think your squad lost because you predicted they will win.
QuotePhoenix, on the other hand, has a much improved Barbosa, and Stoudemire, an actual interior presence. People that like the SUns style of play are not all brainwashed, quite the contrary. You talk about the team who jacks up the most shots will win some games, but the Suns don't just jack up shots, they lead the league in every single shooting category, and play UNSELFISH basketball. That's where you and i differ. I would rather watch unselfish, team basketball, you would rather watch your boy mancrush do it all himself.......
We have a different taste. The Suns offense imho is not so great like you guys are trying to make it. They are just a team who shoots better than everybody from 3pts and who make a lot of open jumpers with centers too. Very european, nothing special. I don't like team who shoots so much from the outside, they run a lazy offense in my opinion. It's really not that difficult to be Steve Nash in that team: you just run and when you surpass the half court you have at least 4 guys on the perimeter who are ready to receive the ball and to shoot from 3pts. If they aren't, you hesitate a little bit, you loose 2-3 secs, you try a penetration and you find at least 2 guys ready to shoot a jumper. They don't play the type of basketball i love. The inside-out, the type of basketball the Lakers used to play with Shaq, or the Spurs are playing with Duncan. Great defense + inside-out: that's the basketball i love. And that's why the Spurs are the best team in the NBA right now imho. Winter's triangle is also great, but it's harder to be executed. If they execute it well, those Lakers can beat anybody in the League, so you gotta respect Phil's playbook. It's just that the Lakers aren't good enought to win the NBA, that's it. Too young.
The Suns have won almost 20 more games than the Lakers. Kinda makes you wonder how people think the Lakers are a better team...
I'm not saying the Lakers are terrible, but honestly, there must be a reason why their records are the way they are. Especially seeing as they are in the same division.
Good win for LA, Phoenix so out of it, and Marion was playing like an idiot. Kobe took it to another level, now his teammates need to get a little more confident. Kwame played better than maybe ever. Sunday is gonna be nuts!
Yeah Phoenix seems like they forget how to play sometimes with a big lead. They lack killer instinct at times. But give all the credit to that Laker D and Kwame and Lamar stepping up HUGE. Can't wait for Game 4.
I'm def a bigger fan of Phoenix's style of play, but props due to LA's defense as well as Kobe going nuts in the 4th. I think Phoenix has that mindset that they can go on a big run at anytime of the game. The team was just not themselves last night, but mostly due to the Lakers play. When Nash is turning the ball over like he was, the opposition has gotta be doing something right.
You're a fan of regular season success? Cuz Phoenix will NEVER be a playoff team with their fundamentally offending system. It may be fun for the casual fan, but the ones who know the game understand what I'm saying...PeACe
Nik, the "ones who know the game understand" that Kobe can't win by himself and that the Lakers never truly stood a chance in this series. Kobe is an amazing player, one of the best ever, but you can't watch Nash and tell me he isn't better than Kobe right now. When the Suns win the title this year, promise us all you will shut the fuck up, or better yet leave this site..........DEAL???
If the Suns win the title, I will shoot myself in the head and/or never watch basketball again.
LMAO@"you can't tell me Nash isn't better than Kobe right now". Nash isn't even the best on his team... ::)

It's not my fault you have trouble comprehending what I'm saying. Where did I say Nash isn't a good scorer? Nash is an EXCELLENT offensive weapon. He just sucks on the other end of the court, which balances him out and stops him from being a GREAT player overall. As for my guarantees, I've been pretty damn accurate for the most part with my predictions on this board. And the Lakers series isn't over, so stop saying dumb shit.

LOL at Nash not being a great player, you just don't get it and you never will. Nash isn't a great defender, but he's not terrible either. Of course many guards give him problems bus he is the best point guard in the league. I wouldn't give 2 fucks about another point guard getting past me when Amare or Marion is there to clean up. And all your predictions have gone wrong, my little friend, your a bad luck charm playa, the series is over.
I was gonna reply to NIK myself, but you guys pointed out everything i would've said.
And NIK: I never said Jordan did it all by himself, i said him and Kobe are really the only players i have seen who can really do it all themself.
However, NIK i find it odd that you have such a problem with how the Suns play, yet you think Kobe jacking up 30-40 shots is great basketball??? The Suns may not win a title with their style, but neither will a team with Kobe as the main option.............the fact that you predicted the Lakers to win is ridiculous. The Lakers have basically the same team as last year, except the young guys have more experience, and somehow are worse!!! Phoenix, on the other hand, has a much improved Barbosa, and Stoudemire, an actual interior presence. People that like the SUns style of play are not all brainwashed, quite the contrary. You talk about the team who jacks up the most shots will win some games, but the Suns don't just jack up shots, they lead the league in every single shooting category, and play UNSELFISH basketball. That's where you and i differ. I would rather watch unselfish, team basketball, you would rather watch your boy mancrush do it all himself.......
Then you really don't know shit about the triangle offense...When the Lakers win, they usually win as a team. The problem is, our players don't step up every night, so they don't really fully execute the offense night in and night out, which causes Kobe to resort to the last option- jacking up shots, tryna bring them back in it. But if you've actually watched the Lakers when they win, you'd understand and appreciate the offense to the fullest. Phil Jackson's playbook >>>>>>>>>> D'Antoni's playbook...I admit Phoenix are great...at regular season success...PeACe

Kidd can score, in fact, before Nash met Phoenix's offense, Kidd was a better scorer than Nash his whole career...What does this have to do with "hate in my blood"? MANY people know how overrated Nash is, especially considering he only plays 50% of the game... We will see who was wrong when the Suns fail to reach the finals ONCE AGAIN.
They are a contender, at least they made it past the 2nd round, which is more than u can say for your team. Lakers are playing shitty?, that's how they play. Kidd may have had more points than Nash before Nash came to Phoenix because 1) he was a star player 2) Nash didn't play the minutes Kidd did 3) Kidd has been playing longer than Nash so of course he will have more points. If Nash isn't a good scorer, why can't the Lakers stop him? Know what, don't even answer because your never gonna be right about this.
I never said Phoenxi will reach the finals, but they will contend, they are now. Your just butthurt that they beat the Lakers imo. And some advice for ya little guy, maybe you should stop making guarentees about basketball, because you are wrong damn near everytime. I think your squad lost because you predicted they will win.
It's not my fault you have trouble comprehending what I'm saying. Where did I say Nash isn't a good scorer? Nash is an EXCELLENT offensive weapon. He just sucks on the other end of the court, which balances him out and stops him from being a GREAT player overall. As for my guarantees, I've been pretty damn accurate for the most part with my predictions on this board. And the Lakers series isn't over, so stop saying dumb shit. LOL@"I think you're squad lost because you thought they'd win" :laugh:
LOL at Nash not being a great player, you just don't get it and you never will. Nash isn't a great defender, but he's not terrible either. Of course many guards give him problems bus he is the best point guard in the league. I wouldn't give 2 fucks about another point guard getting past me when Amare or Marion is there to clean up. And all your predictions have gone wrong, my little friend, your a bad luck charm playa, the series is over.
You guys are really killing me with this Nash dickriding shit. He's pretty good, but he's not a superhero!! He averaged 11.6 assists per game this season?
Uh?
Is it that incredible for you to cum in your pants?
Please!!
Magic Johnson (to put them in the same sentence is a blasphemy: sorry Magic) averaged 11.5 fucking assists per game in his whole CAREER. He made more assists per game than Nash did this year in 7 fucking seasons. SEVEN. You read it?
Not to mention the 20 points per game and 7.2 rebounds per game averaged in the CAREER to go with the 11.5 assists. And the fact he led the NBA in steals for two seasons, and he's a 4x NBA Finals MVP, etc...
MAGIC JOHNSON = amazing player, a monster, unreal, Magic, hero, BEST EVER.
STEVE NASH = good offensive player.
Get it.
The Suns have won almost 20 more games than the Lakers. Kinda makes you wonder how people think the Lakers are a better team...
I'm not saying the Lakers are terrible, but honestly, there must be a reason why their records are the way they are. Especially seeing as they are in the same division.
Just like there must be a reason why Nash & Dirk have no rings.

Good win for LA, Phoenix so out of it, and Marion was playing like an idiot. Kobe took it to another level, now his teammates need to get a little more confident. Kwame played better than maybe ever. Sunday is gonna be nuts!
Yeah Phoenix seems like they forget how to play sometimes with a big lead. They lack killer instinct at times. But give all the credit to that Laker D and Kwame and Lamar stepping up HUGE. Can't wait for Game 4.
I'm def a bigger fan of Phoenix's style of play, but props due to LA's defense as well as Kobe going nuts in the 4th. I think Phoenix has that mindset that they can go on a big run at anytime of the game. The team was just not themselves last night, but mostly due to the Lakers play. When Nash is turning the ball over like he was, the opposition has gotta be doing something right.
You're a fan of regular season success? Cuz Phoenix will NEVER be a playoff team with their fundamentally offending system. It may be fun for the casual fan, but the ones who know the game understand what I'm saying...PeACe
Nik, the "ones who know the game understand" that Kobe can't win by himself and that the Lakers never truly stood a chance in this series. Kobe is an amazing player, one of the best ever, but you can't watch Nash and tell me he isn't better than Kobe right now. When the Suns win the title this year, promise us all you will shut the fuck up, or better yet leave this site..........DEAL???
If the Suns win the title, I will shoot myself in the head and/or never watch basketball again.
LMAO@"you can't tell me Nash isn't better than Kobe right now". Nash isn't even the best on his team... ::)
Do you honestly hate the way the Suns play bball??? Personally, i am not a die hard fan of the Suns, but enjoy watching unselfish basketball and fastbreak bball. Seriously, who is better than Nash on his own team? Stoudemire is athletically gifted but a lot of his baskets are just so damn easy because of Nash' passing. And honestly, i know Kobe is the better player than Nash, but i a said RIGHT NOW, and that would be hard to argue tat Kobe has been better than Nash in this series.
Really, these dudes are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT players. If you look at it, the Lakers would be HORRIBLE if they traded Kobe for Nash, but the Suns would be nowhere near as good with Kobe instead of Nash. Nash can't do it on his own like Kobe (who else can besides Jordan in his prime), but Kobe wouldn't use a supporting cast if he had one like in Phoenix. The only team that can stop the Suns is S.A., and who really wants them to win?
Nash has the media on his dick to the point that it is pathetic, but what is also pathetic is other people who refuse to acknowledge how amazing he is as a player. Bottom line is he is smarter than everyone out on the court every game, never panics, and makes people better. Who does Kobe make better? Who really wants to play with Kobe???
I HATE the way Phoenix plays basketball. It's a disgrace to the game. They rely on offense, and that's why they will ALWAYS be a post-season failure. But the thing that gets me the most is that there are teams out there tryna duplicate this style, which could really harm the game as we know it. This is why I say the Suns are terrible for the sport. It may be fun to watch for the casual fan, but that is NOT real basketball. *RUN, RUN, RUN, pass, jack up shot, run back on "defense", flop, hope for a charge, repeat till game over*.... That's not real basketball...Streetball? Okay, but don't try telling me this is how the game is played by professionals. The Suns have a lot of shooters, so jacking up countless shots WILL win them regular season games, but when it comes down to the playoffs, where every possession is magnified, any REAL team united is capable of destroying their "game plans"...People give Nash too much credit for Phoenix's offense. Put ANY top point guard in place of him (Jason Kidd for example), and Phoenix will have the same success, if not greater...
and LMAO@"who wants to play with Kobe". That's funnier than you claiming Jordan did it on his own... :-X
Bullshit, that's Nash's offense, no other guard could run it with the same results. He was successful in Dallas too with that style, even though they didn't win a championship. As for that style of play winning a championship, that has yet to be seen. They have a good chance this year, but San Antonio is a good defensive team, if they hold Phoenix under 100 they will win almost everytime.
You don't think Kidd could run Phoenix's offense? You know why? Because you've been brainwashed by the media...Steve Nash played a completely different offense in Dallas. He was NEVER a "first option" (let alone an MVP caliber player) until he was traded to Phoenix. I refuse to believe Nash magically improved his status from borderline all-star to back-2-back MVP within one off-season, WHILE IN HIS 30'S.... if you put any point guard with a basketball mind in Phoenix's offense, they'd be able to run it. ...I think if Nash and Kidd were traded, NJ wouldn't make the playoffs, and Phoenix would be a contender...PeACe
You come up with some interseting conclusions for having never met me. I may not obsess and lose sleep over basket ball like you do, but I'm certainly not brainwashed by the media. Kidd couldn't run that offense because he is not a big of a scoring threat as Nash is. Nash is still not a 1st option on Phoenix either, he just structures the offense, same as he did in Dallas only with different players ( of course the offense will be different, I think you just said that to say it ) the only reason your having trouble with the fact that Phoenix is a sick team and Nash is an MVP candidate is because you have hate in your blood.
And Nash would have NJ in the playoffs easily, if Carter & Jefferson were too stay. Of course Phoenix would be a good team without Nash, but he is what makes them a contender.

I was gonna reply to NIK myself, but you guys pointed out everything i would've said.
And NIK: I never said Jordan did it all by himself, i said him and Kobe are really the only players i have seen who can really do it all themself.
However, NIK i find it odd that you have such a problem with how the Suns play, yet you think Kobe jacking up 30-40 shots is great basketball??? The Suns may not win a title with their style, but neither will a team with Kobe as the main option.............the fact that you predicted the Lakers to win is ridiculous. The Lakers have basically the same team as last year, except the young guys have more experience, and somehow are worse!!! Phoenix, on the other hand, has a much improved Barbosa, and Stoudemire, an actual interior presence. People that like the SUns style of play are not all brainwashed, quite the contrary. You talk about the team who jacks up the most shots will win some games, but the Suns don't just jack up shots, they lead the league in every single shooting category, and play UNSELFISH basketball. That's where you and i differ. I would rather watch unselfish, team basketball, you would rather watch your boy mancrush do it all himself.......
Then you really don't know shit about the triangle offense...When the Lakers win, they usually win as a team. The problem is, our players don't step up every night, so they don't really fully execute the offense night in and night out, which causes Kobe to resort to the last option- jacking up shots, tryna bring them back in it. But if you've actually watched the Lakers when they win, you'd understand and appreciate the offense to the fullest. Phil Jackson's playbook >>>>>>>>>> D'Antoni's playbook...I admit Phoenix are great...at regular season success...PeACe
To say i don't know shit about the Triangle Offense is funny man.........i was a MASSIVE Bulls fan back in the day. I actually find the fact that the Lakers call what they run now a Triangle Offense to be dispicable. When the Lakers win it is the KB24 show.....and i really don't blame Kobe to be honest, he does not have a lot of support, his team sucks besides Lamar and maybe Walton sometime.
QuotePhoenix, on the other hand, has a much improved Barbosa, and Stoudemire, an actual interior presence. People that like the SUns style of play are not all brainwashed, quite the contrary.

We have a different taste. The Suns offense imho is not so great like you guys are trying to make it. They are just a team who shoots better than everybody from 3pts and who make a lot of open jumpers with centers too. Very european, nothing special. I don't like team who shoots so much from the outside, they run a lazy offense in my opinion. It's really not that difficult to be Steve Nash in that team: you just run and when you surpass the half court you have at least 4 guys on the perimeter who are ready to receive the ball and to shoot from 3pts. If they aren't, you hesitate a little bit, you loose 2-3 secs, you try a penetration and you find at least 2 guys ready to shoot a jumper. They don't play the type of basketball i love. The inside-out, the type of basketball the Lakers used to play with Shaq, or the Spurs are playing with Duncan. Great defense + inside-out: that's the basketball i love. And that's why the Spurs are the best team in the NBA right now imho. Winter's triangle is also great, but it's harder to be executed. If they execute it well, those Lakers can beat anybody in the League, so you gotta respect Phil's playbook. It's just that the Lakers aren't good enought to win the NBA, that's it. Too young.
How the fuck is a team that RUNS the floor better than any team since the showtime Lakers LAZY on offense?
Good win for LA, Phoenix so out of it, and Marion was playing like an idiot. Kobe took it to another level, now his teammates need to get a little more confident. Kwame played better than maybe ever. Sunday is gonna be nuts!
Yeah Phoenix seems like they forget how to play sometimes with a big lead. They lack killer instinct at times. But give all the credit to that Laker D and Kwame and Lamar stepping up HUGE. Can't wait for Game 4.

Of course many guards give him problems bus he is the best point guard in the league. I wouldn't give 2 fucks about another point guard getting past me when Amare or Marion is there to clean up. And all your predictions have gone wrong, my little friend, your a bad luck charm playa, the series is over.
I dunno what's funnier, you thinking Nash isn't a terrible defender or you claiming all my predictions have gone wrong. :-X
Good win for LA, Phoenix so out of it, and Marion was playing like an idiot. Kobe took it to another level, now his teammates need to get a little more confident. Kwame played better than maybe ever. Sunday is gonna be nuts!
Yeah Phoenix seems like they forget how to play sometimes with a big lead. They lack killer instinct at times. But give all the credit to that Laker D and Kwame and Lamar stepping up HUGE. Can't wait for Game 4.
I'm def a bigger fan of Phoenix's style of play, but props due to LA's defense as well as Kobe going nuts in the 4th. I think Phoenix has that mindset that they can go on a big run at anytime of the game. The team was just not themselves last night, but mostly due to the Lakers play. When Nash is turning the ball over like he was, the opposition has gotta be doing something right.
You're a fan of regular season success? Cuz Phoenix will NEVER be a playoff team with their fundamentally offending system. It may be fun for the casual fan, but the ones who know the game understand what I'm saying...PeACe
Nik, the "ones who know the game understand" that Kobe can't win by himself and that the Lakers never truly stood a chance in this series. Kobe is an amazing player, one of the best ever, but you can't watch Nash and tell me he isn't better than Kobe right now. When the Suns win the title this year, promise us all you will shut the fuck up, or better yet leave this site..........DEAL???
If the Suns win the title, I will shoot myself in the head and/or never watch basketball again.
LMAO@"you can't tell me Nash isn't better than Kobe right now". Nash isn't even the best on his team... ::)
Do you honestly hate the way the Suns play bball??? Personally, i am not a die hard fan of the Suns, but enjoy watching unselfish basketball and fastbreak bball. Seriously, who is better than Nash on his own team? Stoudemire is athletically gifted but a lot of his baskets are just so damn easy because of Nash' passing. And honestly, i know Kobe is the better player than Nash, but i a said RIGHT NOW, and that would be hard to argue tat Kobe has been better than Nash in this series.
Really, these dudes are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT players. If you look at it, the Lakers would be HORRIBLE if they traded Kobe for Nash, but the Suns would be nowhere near as good with Kobe instead of Nash. Nash can't do it on his own like Kobe (who else can besides Jordan in his prime), but Kobe wouldn't use a supporting cast if he had one like in Phoenix. The only team that can stop the Suns is S.A., and who really wants them to win?
Nash has the media on his dick to the point that it is pathetic, but what is also pathetic is other people who refuse to acknowledge how amazing he is as a player. Bottom line is he is smarter than everyone out on the court every game, never panics, and makes people better. Who does Kobe make better? Who really wants to play with Kobe???
I HATE the way Phoenix plays basketball. It's a disgrace to the game. They rely on offense, and that's why they will ALWAYS be a post-season failure. But the thing that gets me the most is that there are teams out there tryna duplicate this style, which could really harm the game as we know it. This is why I say the Suns are terrible for the sport. It may be fun to watch for the casual fan, but that is NOT real basketball. *RUN, RUN, RUN, pass, jack up shot, run back on "defense", flop, hope for a charge, repeat till game over*.... That's not real basketball...Streetball? Okay, but don't try telling me this is how the game is played by professionals. The Suns have a lot of shooters, so jacking up countless shots WILL win them regular season games, but when it comes down to the playoffs, where every possession is magnified, any REAL team united is capable of destroying their "game plans"...People give Nash too much credit for Phoenix's offense. Put ANY top point guard in place of him (Jason Kidd for example), and Phoenix will have the same success, if not greater...
and LMAO@"who wants to play with Kobe". That's funnier than you claiming Jordan did it on his own... :-X
Bullshit, that's Nash's offense, no other guard could run it with the same results. He was successful in Dallas too with that style, even though they didn't win a championship. As for that style of play winning a championship, that has yet to be seen. They have a good chance this year, but San Antonio is a good defensive team, if they hold Phoenix under 100 they will win almost everytime.
You don't think Kidd could run Phoenix's offense? You know why? Because you've been brainwashed by the media...Steve Nash played a completely different offense in Dallas. He was NEVER a "first option" (let alone an MVP caliber player) until he was traded to Phoenix. I refuse to believe Nash magically improved his status from borderline all-star to back-2-back MVP within one off-season, WHILE IN HIS 30'S.... if you put any point guard with a basketball mind in Phoenix's offense, they'd be able to run it. ...I think if Nash and Kidd were traded, NJ wouldn't make the playoffs, and Phoenix would be a contender...PeACe
You come up with some interseting conclusions for having never met me. I may not obsess and lose sleep over basket ball like you do, but I'm certainly not brainwashed by the media. Kidd couldn't run that offense because he is not a big of a scoring threat as Nash is. Nash is still not a 1st option on Phoenix either, he just structures the offense, same as he did in Dallas only with different players ( of course the offense will be different, I think you just said that to say it ) the only reason your having trouble with the fact that Phoenix is a sick team and Nash is an MVP candidate is because you have hate in your blood.
And Nash would have NJ in the playoffs easily, if Carter & Jefferson were too stay. Of course Phoenix would be a good team without Nash, but he is what makes them a contender.
Phoenix is not contending in the playoffs...Lakers are playing shitty and it coulda been 2-2 right now if we woulda' closed out Game 1. Kidd can score, in fact, before Nash met Phoenix's offense, Kidd was a better scorer than Nash his whole career...What does this have to do with "hate in my blood"? MANY people know how overrated Nash is, especially considering he only plays 50% of the game... We will see who was wrong when the Suns fail to reach the finals ONCE AGAIN.
They are a contender, at least they made it past the 2nd round, which is more than u can say for your team. Lakers are playing shitty?, that's how they play. Kidd may have had more points than Nash before Nash came to Phoenix because 1) he was a star player 2) Nash didn't play the minutes Kidd did 3) Kidd has been playing longer than Nash so of course he will have more points. If Nash isn't a good scorer, why can't the Lakers stop him? Know what, don't even answer because your never gonna be right about this.
I never said Phoenxi will reach the finals, but they will contend, they are now. Your just butthurt that they beat the Lakers imo. And some advice for ya little guy, maybe you should stop making guarentees about basketball, because you are wrong damn near everytime. I think your squad lost because you predicted they will win.
It's not my fault you have trouble comprehending what I'm saying. Where did I say Nash isn't a good scorer? Nash is an EXCELLENT offensive weapon. He just sucks on the other end of the court, which balances him out and stops him from being a GREAT player overall. As for my guarantees, I've been pretty damn accurate for the most part with my predictions on this board. And the Lakers series isn't over, so stop saying dumb shit. LOL@"I think you're squad lost because you thought they'd win" :laugh:
LOL at Nash not being a great player, you just don't get it and you never will. Nash isn't a great defender, but he's not terrible either.

You guys are really killing me with this Nash dickriding shit. He's pretty good, but he's not a superhero!! He averaged 11.6 assists per game this season?
Uh?
Is it that incredible for you to cum in your pants?
Please!!
Magic Johnson (to put them in the same sentence is a blasphemy: sorry Magic) averaged 11.5 fucking assists per game in his whole CAREER. He made more assists per game than Nash did this year in 7 fucking seasons. SEVEN. You read it?
Not to mention the 20 points per game and 7.2 rebounds per game averaged in the CAREER to go with the 11.5 assists. And the fact he led the NBA in steals for two seasons, and he's a 4x NBA Finals MVP, etc...
MAGIC JOHNSON = amazing player, a monster, unreal, Magic, hero, BEST EVER.
STEVE NASH = good offensive player.
Get it.
As for myself, i never said Nash was one of the greatest players of all time. I said RIGHT NOW he is the best player..........Kobe is second. Overall, of course Kobe or Magic, etc are better than Nash. Nash was completely unheralded coming out of College and nowhere near the player he is now. He never peaked until like 28 (Kobe is only 29 right now! Unbelievable!!!!) but Nash's play over the past three years is one of the best three year runs of any player in the history of the game. The best thing for Kobe is players get smarter as they mature, meaning i still think Kobe's best play is in front of him.
Good win for LA, Phoenix so out of it, and Marion was playing like an idiot. Kobe took it to another level, now his teammates need to get a little more confident. Kwame played better than maybe ever. Sunday is gonna be nuts!

He's not a great defender, I never said he was, but you always gotta try to twist shit up. He would not have the status he does if there were "terrible" parts of his game. Your just simply hating, and how can u of all people call out anybody for dickriding? But it won't matter when Nash leads Phoenix past LA, youll just find a new excuse too make up.
QuotePhoenix, on the other hand, has a much improved Barbosa, and Stoudemire, an actual interior presence. People that like the SUns style of play are not all brainwashed, quite the contrary. You talk about the team who jacks up the most shots will win some games, but the Suns don't just jack up shots, they lead the league in every single shooting category, and play UNSELFISH basketball. That's where you and i differ. I would rather watch unselfish, team basketball, you would rather watch your boy mancrush do it all himself.......
We have a different taste. The Suns offense imho is not so great like you guys are trying to make it. They are just a team who shoots better than everybody from 3pts and who make a lot of open jumpers with centers too. Very european, nothing special. I don't like team who shoots so much from the outside, they run a lazy offense in my opinion. It's really not that difficult to be Steve Nash in that team: you just run and when you surpass the half court you have at least 4 guys on the perimeter who are ready to receive the ball and to shoot from 3pts. If they aren't, you hesitate a little bit, you loose 2-3 secs, you try a penetration and you find at least 2 guys ready to shoot a jumper. They don't play the type of basketball i love. The inside-out, the type of basketball the Lakers used to play with Shaq, or the Spurs are playing with Duncan. Great defense + inside-out: that's the basketball i love. And that's why the Spurs are the best team in the NBA right now imho. Winter's triangle is also great, but it's harder to be executed. If they execute it well, those Lakers can beat anybody in the League, so you gotta respect Phil's playbook. It's just that the Lakers aren't good enought to win the NBA, that's it. Too young.
How the fuck is a team that RUNS the floor better than any team since the showtime Lakers LAZY on offense?
To compare the current Suns to the Showtime Lakers is disgraceful and tasteless.
The Suns have won almost 20 more games than the Lakers. Kinda makes you wonder how people think the Lakers are a better team...
I'm not saying the Lakers are terrible, but honestly, there must be a reason why their records are the way they are. Especially seeing as they are in the same division.
Just like there must be a reason why Nash & Dirk have no rings.
Get that GSW shit out of your sig bitch.
The point is, Nash ISN'T the best player in the league. He plays one end of the court and would unquestionably be a 2nd option on a team like the Mavs or the Lakers. Dude didn't mysteriously transform from barely an all-star caliber player to a back-to-back MVP over the coarse of an off-season. It was the offense he stepped into that inflated his numbers. This would also explain why many average players get that extra recognition in Phoenix's system and have career years. I mean, take Boris Diaw for example. Without that offense, he is a shitty 3rd string player. Tim Thomas...Dude looked like an all-star because of Phoenix's offense...Just take that into account when you wanna consider who the best player in the game REALLY is...PeACe
PS...Kobe is 28.

Bandwaggon Faggot.
I support teams of losers? Guess we have something in common afterall, motherfucker.
i took the suns -10.5
:'(
Ps: not to sound like a crybaby but those officials were hella gay. Kobe gets slapped and handchecked - no foul. Lakers stand on the same court as the Suns - foul!
Damn, the Lakers only got 7 assists.
Brand. The 2 would have made a killer combo. Stupid Clippers.
Damn, the Lakers only got 7 assists.
Damn, the Lakers only got 7 assists.
Exactly. 7 assists for the Lakers, 23 assists for the Suns, yet SOMEONE earlier in the thread said the Suns are ruining basketball!!! Unbelievable!
4 playoff wins for the Lakers in three seasons is not good, they need to sign someone NOW. But really, who can co-exist with Kobe for a whole season? FInding players to compliment Kobe is like finding someone to play with AI- easier said then done. What i think will happen is Kobe is going to become a much more unselfish player/person in the next couple of years, and only then (with a real supporting cast) will the Lakers have a chance at a title. Kobe doesn't need Shaq, but he needs a much better team, and then he needs to actually play as a part of that team.
But seriously, the Suns are going to be in TOUGH against the Spurs, who are truly a great playoff team. Definitely an interesting series though, a GREAT offensive team versus a GREAT defensive team.
And damn, Stoudemire was incredible this series! Him versus Duncan will be a great matchup, as will Parker versus Nash ( i remember Parker killing Nash a couple of games last time........Nash will have to step up his defense......)
Vlad as a starter ? naw forget about it.. dude plays lil D and hasn"t a very high IQ of B-Ball which is needed for the triangle.. anyways he shouldn't be oin that team anymore til the snowboard incident...Damn, the Lakers only got 7 assists.
That's what I mean...the Lakers had no sort of rythym as a team ever since the inury bug started biting. I was hoping we'd step out of it by some point, but we simply couldn't. I think we're one or two moves from playing the way we did to start the season for 82+post season. Also, lets not forget Radman. He was supposed to be our major off-season acquisition and didn't even make the playoff roster...I hope he prepares himself to come out killing against all odds next season...
PG ???...Jordan Farmar...???
SG Kobe Bryant...Smush Parker/Sasha Vujacic
SF Vladimir Radmanovic...Luke Walton/Maurice Evans
PF Lamar Odom...Ronny Turiaf/Brian Cook
C Andrew Bynum...Kwame Brown/Chris Mihm
Address that point guard spot, and unity is all we need to contend...PeACe

Agreed.
Ain't that a bitch.Brand. The 2 would have made a killer combo. Stupid Clippers.
LOL. Wrong thread...
^^^^ SAS will beat the Suns WITHOUT a doubt
Agreed.
Are you two guys the same guys who thought the Lakers actually had a chance against the Suns? While i acknowledge the Spurs are the favourite, surely you must know that the Suns have a far better chance of beating the Spurs than the Lakers did of beating the SUns.....

tis been five years now since last championshiip in LA....no good, no good at all!A drought by Laker standards.
That being said I think Billups would be a huge upgrade to the Lakers. That's a skilled, strong veteran PG who knows what it's like to win a ring.Billups would automatically make the Lakers one of the elite teams in the NBA. He can run the floor and control the offense so Kobe doesn't have to. Plus he could teach Farmar a load of skills. 8) I'd take him over KG or J. O'Neal.
^^^^ SAS will beat the Suns WITHOUT a doubt
^^^^ yeah.. though he ain't comin in LA... I think we have some chances to have a very good PF but we ain't gonna improve the point guard that much.. I mean it won't make a huge difference.. we ain't gettin a Tony Parker, a Billups or these type of PG calibers (there's little anyway).. we fucked it up big with Kidd that's all I have to say
