Which is it?
-
I don't think it's either really.
L.A.= most talented team, but not working hard enough (SOFT). Will still win game 7
Houston= playing way over their heads, playing desperate and INSPIRED bball with nothing to lose, no pressure

Agreed. In sports, whichever team wins is the best. Case closed. In this case, it is almost impossible to even comprehend that THIS Rockets team was able to take the Lakers to game 7.

i find it hilarious that EVERY Laker fan wrote the Rockets off, saying T-Mac, Artest & Yao won't win.
now there is no T-Mac or Yao & their taking the Lakers to a game 7. :laugh:

Lakers are to soft as Bynum is average at best and Gasol doesnt know what defense is while Houston is playing with courage, passion and heart. That is why this series is going to game 7

I can't believe how bad Gasol was on defense last game. And Bynum is so lazy on defense; he is out of position and always gets reach in fouls, etc.

Bynum is terrible. I think Odom is a awesome player so I am not dissing the rest of LA besides Kobe but Bynum is complete trash. Yeah Gasol is amazing offensively but one of the worst defensive big men I have ever seen.

The crazy thing about this is that the Rockets are doing this even with Artest playing sub-par and shooting so badly.
If the Rockets win, and that is a HUGE if, then this could be a monumental, historical upset.
Scola and Brooks? Not exactly household names

correct
because Kobe is a team player
and Artest is a team leader

the Lakers aren't as bad as this series makes them look, but the last few months they have not been as good as everyone thought
after they got all the recognition for beating Boston and Cleveland on the road, they decided to coast through
while they were winning they were winning ugly and easier said then done, they could have done much better with like 5% more effort
it's the same story every game and there are way too many inconsistent players on the roster
when they are on their A-game they can't be fucked with, but these teams know they don't play D so they cut to the basket
even more frustrating is that they know how to win and they still don't do the right things
how hard is it for Gasol to JOG to the paint to catch a pass, rather than taking it 18-feet out and dribbling and posting up from 15... it's sickening

Would you rather see Kobe act as if everything is OK after these losses....or show that he is fuckin pissed at the teams performance? Im sure I know the answer. I think he's too concerned with his image (which is already fucked, so who cares). He doesnt need to call out individuals (as he is SUPPOSED to be the leader). But he can at least act like he's fuckin angry at their lackluster performances during this series.

Houston is better than anyone thought...this is the same team that won 22 straight games. come on, now!
on the other hand, we're still 1000000X better than 'em...when we play our game we have the ability of toying with 'em...PeACe

Be real man, i know you can NEVER say anything bad about your team. But even the blindest fan would have to get pissed at what is going on. Consider this a complement, but you guys shouldnt have let them win more then 2 games....and without Yao you should have stepped on their throat. If you really love the Lakers like u say, that shit has to concern you.

This is actually a very different team then the one that won 22 games 2 seasons ago. They don't have a true low-post presence, nor do they have one of the best scoring perimiter players of his era.
The ONLY reason the Rockets are in this series is because they are displaying heart, and the Lakers aren't. Unfortunately for Rocket fans, the Lakers supreme talent will allow them to win game 7

Yeah, he can do it in a way that isnt destructive for the team. He doesnt have to tear teammates down. Use the word "we" yah know lol. But he should be throwin shit in the locker room! He should be fuckin PISSED. He will only have so many chances to win a title, and you dont want to go out without a fight.

why would i come in here to complain? LOL. I speak the truth, I already said we played bad, I'm not gunna come in here and use my negative emotion AGAINST the Lakers, so instead of coming in here and bitching about the way we play, I say what needs to be said, such as "the Lakers played horrible"....i'm not gunna lie and say we played good when we didn't, but i'm also not gunna moan about shit, i'm here to rep, not to vent my frustrations.......but I know why we're playing horrible and I have no doubt that shit wont be the same come Sunday. I just choose to focus on the positives...is that really a problem?
-
Lakers have all the talent. Like Charles said on TNT , if the Lakers cant win this year with this team, Kobe will never get a ring without Shaq.
Houston is playing unbelievable right now, its great to watch. I really hope they beat LA in game 7 because the Lakers dont deserve to win IMO.

Aaron Brooks wasn't beastin last season and they didn't have Artest...LOL. my point is, the team still has the same basic build and toughness. theyre underrated, you've got to admit it. and they play as good without Yao and T-Mac, because they thrive on team ball as opposed to individuals carrying them.

You dont have to come in here and complain. But u still do, just not about your team (which is the real problem). You complain about the refs, the league, etc. If there is one team in the league that the NBA doesnt want to hold down, its the Lakers. You guys have just been playing like shit is all. The Lakers are a better team then the Rockets IMO, which makes it even worse that theyre in this situation. Losing to a team thats better then you>>>>>Losing to a team youre better then.

the pathetic haters always expose themselfs when the Lakers loose a couple of games.....hopefully gaygostyles kills himself when the lakers become the team of the decade

the amount of hate the lakers get is crazy but i guess a real fan stands by the dumb shit thru the thick n thin
but looks like they let the rockets win so they can sweep em at home for the win

Saying something negative about a team, isnt "hate" lol.
Some most of you Laker fans are more cheerleaders then fans. Thats why I get on NIK. Obviously an insecurity problem. I have no problem admitting when my team is just playing like shit. But alot of you Laker fans cant. You blame everyone else, never put ANY of the blame on Kobe (even though he is supposed to be the "leader" lol). You have these delusional views of your team. You guys really think the world either loves the Lakers, or hates them. lol. So overdramatic. When in reality, the largest group out there is the one that just doesnt give a shit about them. We look at them like any other team that is struggling to win a series. You can come with immature insults, but you still look like an idiot cus you cant argue what Im saying. Ive said over and over, that the Lakers will probably win this series...and the next. But if you Laker cheerleaders cant see that your team looks VERY unimpressive right now, then youre not fans just like I said.

ima laker fan regardless whether they win or lose, but things arent the same
well see what happens in a hour or so

yeah, Like I said...they are the better team in this series. Its just funny to me how many fans are so insecure that they cant just be like..."damn, Houston is givin us a tough ass series...we need to step it up!". Instead its the refs fault, its this, its that. Naw, its none of that shit. Its Houston playing with more intensity then the Lakers, point blank. If the Lakers played with the same intensity (leaders fault) as the Rockets, this series would have been over.

aite, but would you agree fisher hasnt been the same?
and bynum, well he jus isnt bringin it
but fisher was a big factor this time last year

get off are fucking dicks....i don't ever remember you coming in here criticizing the spurs when they lose...blame tim duncan, or give the mavs credit.....I do remember you disappearing when the mavs beat the spurs a couple years a go and then cameback 1 year later when the spurs beat the cavs

you show your ignorance every day, when the Lakers lose it's kobe's fault, how cliche, that's the only thing you know what to say b/c you don't know shit about b-ball.......breakdown a fucking game, show some knowledge......do you not see our big men getting destroyed by Scola in game 6, or our role players missing open 3's?......i doubt you even watch Lakers games.....you just wait for the lakers to lose and all the cliches start coming out of your bitch ass mouth....your obsession with kobe is disturbing...

If the roles reversed and kobe and gasol was hurt and Houston had t Mac yao and dikembe they would have crushed the lakers

Ive left the board 3 different times, each time for several months. so what? Youre almost as bad as NIK, maybe worse. NIK is a cheerleader like you, but at least he does know basketball...he just lets his mancrush on Kobe get in the way of his knowledge of the game. You...yes cheerleader, no knowledge, yes mancrush. You should really not show these public displays of affection for another man the way you guys do. I mean, if youre gay thats cool....do u. But theres no excuse to be that attached to another mans nuts...

damn shut the fuck up.......... eye cant stand niggas like you. where did he blame Kobe ( your boyfriend) exclusively. LEADERS FAULTS....... LEADERS as in plural, plural as in more than one person......... you dumb ass......... only person jocking another man here is you without knowledge of the game.....your obsession with kobe is truly disturbing

"Kobe Kobe!! He's our man!!! If he cant do it, no one can!!! Yayyyyyyyyyyy Kobe!!!"
Shut up cheerleader
You have no idea the extent of my basketball knowledge lol. Ive been playing/ following basketball even longer then youve been a homosexual, and thats a long ass time homie. My point with you Kobe Stans is that you treat him too much like your God. Its sick man. Im a Spurs fan, and even though Duncan will more then likely go down as the best PF of all time, he's in no way perfect. He pisses me off all the time. But thats because I give a shit about the team, NOT just Duncan. You fags are in love with Kobe more then the Lakers. Obviously not ALL Laker fans are like this, but too many are. Yes, the Laker bigs are SOFT. Ive said that before already. Since youve been clinging to my life so closely, you should know that. But Kobe and Phil have created a soft culture on this team IMO. With their lax attitude about wins and losses...its so fake, and so stupid. Yeah, you never want to get too excited over a win, but they act like a loss is no big deal. LOL. When you get schooled by a rag-tag group of guys like the Rockets are right now...and youre supposed to be the class of the West this year, that IS a big deal.
