[Sonny Cheeba]

Go Clippers!

[LB_RA¹Ð³R]

Good game 2day! get our 60th Win

6 More games & playoffs start! :D

[Don]

Hey man. The Warriors had seven players tonight, and managed to bottle up and knock down the Hornets tonight. Was a tremendous effort by Randolph, easily his best game of the year.

OK I'm going back into my hole now, Buh Bye

[JRaider17]

Wow Cavs lost again! Lakers just keep winning, and Cavs keep losing! lol

[silver & black]

Is basketball over yet? :roc:

[TruR8r]

Lakers should have lost tonight. They love to blow leads and make it interesting.

[Padrino]

Lakers should have lost tonight. They love to blow leads and make it interesting.

I don't think they should have lost, but the way they played in the 4th was embarrassing. A win is a win, though, #61!..

[RaiderzVixen]

You're right Tor, a win is a win!

But the need to pick those damn feet up and pick up the pace if
they are going to compete in the finals!

[Tió Nook Nook]

wish i could watch the kings lakers game tonight..anybody got a stream to it?

[Don]

Don't torture yourself, digm..let it go..lol

[Tió Nook Nook]

yeah yeah yeah..i know. :|
kings were doing good for a minute haha, then that 2nd quarter..
i should stop posting about them / talkin about them online, whenever i do it, they start doin shitty

[RaiderzVixen]

Man they've been blocking the Lakers games in my area, but i seen the highlights. We're looking a lot better!

So sorry about your kings, digm...

[el boracho]

Bynum is going to play today....will be interesting to see if hes 100% or are they pushing him to get out there to early.....

[Sonny Cheeba]

Na not 2day 2morrow is going 2 be a tough one against Denver
Denver don't fuck around, they've been on fire lately. Billups at PG works 100000x than Iverson, Carmelo has been hot, JR Smith is nice off the bench, Nene working down low, and THE BIRDMAN has averaged like 13 blocks per game lately.

[RaiderzVixen]

Haha thanks for the clarification, J!!!!
Yeah EL B I moved here like 2 1/2 years ago Aug of 06 and they hate on the Lakers out here, big time! But I steady represent :2guns

I'm not sceered. The Nug's have been kicking ass, but against what competition?

Like my boy Boracho said, it's all about Andrew tonight...

[el boracho]

Yeah its going to be a GOOD game, I've been waiting for this one!
But I must say the Lakers are going to take this one, Buck! First we're playing at home and we're 33-5 at home! AND Andrew Bynums back and at 100%!! Plus in nine games against the Nuggs we've only lost once...sorry suga we got this, maybe the Nuggs will clinch the 2nd seed with a win against Sactown or Portland, but not here, not in L.A.:hi:

[Jenny]

Not in Portland! http://raideroutlawz.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[Sonny Cheeba]

Oooh I pissed off the Laker fans! :D For the record I never said Denver would win, just don't be surprised if you see them in the Conference Finals (provided you make it there.) :stir: Spurs losing Ginobili kills them and Duncan is hobbling around, Houston will lose in the first round AGAIN, Dallas will never win because Dirk is butter soft, Utah can't beat good teams on the road, Portland doesn't have the experience and New Orleans don't have enough beyond CP3 and West.

EDIT: Forgot about Bynum. Yeah I would not expect anything more than 20 mins from him tonight if he plays. He's been out for 2 months.

[JRaider17]

Bynum back tonight!

[Skern]

GO LAKERS!!! What time does the game start?

[JRaider17]

10:30 my time...so 7:30 by you?

[Skern]

Cool gives me a chance to watch a flick before it starts :beer:

AHH you didnt piss off the fans suga.....
and you'll see the Lakers vs Cavs in the finals.......

[Chaps]

bynum looked to b bak to his old foem. Lakers are gonna wreak havoc come playoff time

[JRaider17]

Bynum started off a little slow, which was expected but I think he played GREAT in the second half. For a guy who missed 30+ games, to come back and score 16 points and 7 rebounds was great. It was good to see him back in the line-up, we need him.

[Padrino]

Man, it was great to see young AB out there again! Please God, no more injuries.

Pau was a rebounding machine last night and props to Shannon for making the most of his newly earned minutes. Kobe made some incredible shots, as well.

On to Portland tonight. Can we break the Jail Blazer curse?

GO LAKERS...

[Jenny]

Nope, not today!! Sorry, Tor... :mean:

Portland 106
L.A. 98

[raiderdude69]

Nope, not today!! Sorry, Tor... :mean:

Portland 106

Blah, blah, blah...

We'll getcha back in the playoffs.. Count on it.. :puff::happens

[JRaider17]

We can not beat them when they are home. 8-0

[Doyers y Esleigher]

Portland is a playoff trap. I don't want to see them.

[LB_RA¹Ð³R]

We can not beat them when they are home. 8-0

Every Streak must come 2 a end :Yep

[Chaps]

we'll see if the rockets can close out strong for the playoffs and possibly get out of the first round this yr

[Skern]

GO LAKERS!!!! :funana:

[Chaps]

:Yep lets go lakers. finish strong

Your Blazers are going to be good for a long time. Too bad they won't be sniffing the Finals. As long as my Lakers have HCA I'm not worried.

Hey So we see Utah on Sunday! Cant wait homie! Ima fix up a lil kick back at my pad for the game, wont be over drinking this time tho...oooh those hangovers could be murderous sometimes!!!

[Jake]

Rose played like a man today against the C's. Peirce is a goon for missing that free throw at the end of reg. Celtics should of won that game.

[chitown]

Good start in this series today for the Bulls.

[Jake]

Portland is getting SPANKED.

[Raidermaiden]

Yay,

[Jake]

Oden looks like Sam Bowie 2.0

[Chaps]

Great for houston to get the win last night. hopefully they keep this up and make it to the next round. Now its time for my lakers to dominate them jazz

[Jake]

Garnett officially out for the rest of the playoffs. Bad news for the Celtics, big time.

[JRaider17]

And the Lakers get the win!

[Padrino]

Most impressive team so far was the Rockets. Yao and Scola owned that game.

My Lakers did what they're supposed to do. They need to take out the Jazz in 5 or less.

GO LAKESHOW!..

[Skern]

Go lakers!!!

[Raidermaiden]

Yay! Lakers very convincing win. :)

[LB_RA¹Ð³R]

[GenRaider]

I doubt you will find a bigger Celtic hater than me...

[Sonny Cheeba]

The East is going to be a laugher, the Cavs could stroll into the Finals with their eyes closed.

As for the West, obviously it is still the Lakers' to lose and that is not happening. I still say that Denver is their biggest challenge, but they can't win at Staples so at the very best they push them to 7 games.

[Padrino]

1 down, 15 to go. Game 2, tonight!

GO LAKESHOW!..

[LB_RA¹Ð³R]

Hell of a game!! Lakers still playin bad D!! :cuss:

They really need 2 step it up! but i guess all that counts right now is that W!

[MOST-ILL]

I doubt you will find a bigger Celtic hater than me...

You and me both..Eric

[Padrino]

all that counts right now is that W!


That's right, dude. 2 down, 14 to go.

Utah played about as good as they could and Lakes still led from start to finish.

GO LAKERS!..

[RaiderzVixen]

Hell of a game!! Lakers still playin bad D!! :cuss:

Dude the Lakers are just cruising, Utahs nothing but a fly off their backs...NEXT!!

Yup all that counts is the W but they still need to pick up that D! GO LAKERS!!!

[el boracho]

lakers dont play good in Utah ...it will be tough to sweep them in salt lake...

[RaiderzVixen]

ElB, we beat them in Utah the last game of the season, they looked pretty good to me...we'll see homie!

[Padrino]

ElB, we beat them in Utah the last game of the season, they looked pretty good to me...we'll see homie!

Nah Vix, that game was at Staples. We did beat them once this year, though. I agree with Boozer, SLC will be chaotic tonight. I hope our guys can get out to a quick start. If not, we could be in for a long series...

1 HC and 4 assistants hahaha

[Skern]

fucken Lakers!!

88 86 come on lakers...

[TruR8r]

Keep blowing leads fuckers.

[LB_RA¹Ð³R]

Kobe played like shit 2day!.. & D still :shit:

[Padrino]

Bynum couldn't stay on the court. We needed him against Boozer down the stretch. I knew it was going to be tough. If we lose game 4 we it's sweat time.

Anyone who puts Kobe in the same sentence as Magic or Jordan is stupid...

[LB_RA¹Ð³R]

We got the 4th game!! atleast something positive happen 2day..

[JRaider17]

Lakers!!!!!!

[Padrino]

Great win on Saturday night! We close the Jazz out tonight.


I can't believe the Piston's laid down like they did. What an embarrassment for their proud franchise...

[Padrino]

Great job by our Lakee's last night. Luke will get a week to rest now.

Did any of you see Sloan's press conference after the game? He really bad mouthed Deron Williams. I thought it was a low blow. Specially when he's done so much for that team.

PS: Farmar had ZERO minutes last night. LMAO...

[RaiderzVixen]

What a game yo!! GOOD JOB LAKERS!!!!

It was a really good game I just hate when they give up the big leads

I'm probably the worst basketball fan on the face of the planet. I don't care a whit about the NBA, but... since I have to endure it untill it's over, what do you all of you WAY more knowledgeable people think the Cav's chances are?

LOL... that's pretty much the response I figured to get from all of you California people. Of course you think/hope that, but... do you honestly think the Lakers are that much better than the Cavs, or are you just hoping?

I honestly don't know the answer to that because I really have no clue about basketball. I just keep hearing that it is going to come down to the Lakers and the Cavs, and it will all depend on weather Lebron or Koby want it the most. Is this your assessment also... if you're objective about it?

I call it how i see it, and im not being biased. This is true i am an LA fan and always have been but above that I am a fan of sports! I give credit when credits due. There is no doubt that the Cavs are a good team! But we have had no problem beating them in the past and in their home at that and by at least 10 or more points....So there is no doubt in my mind that the Lakers is taking it all! Cleveland will no doubt give them a run for the money, cause Lebron is really hungry for a ring....I just feel and all the ESPN analysts feel that the Lakers are the better team.....hands down! :clap:

Thanks the honest opinion. I never watch basketball unless the Cavs are in the hunt, and even then, I don't watch that much. I suppose I'll have to watch when these two meet in the Championship series.

Its going to be interesting! I called this series way early in the season and so far my forecast has been right :)

[Jake]

That Boston/Chicago series was the shit. Sorry bout your Bulls Chitown. I think Orlando will beat Boston this round, 4-2.

[Padrino]

Call me crazy, but I think last night's loss was a good thing. My Lakers got their wake up call. Nice win for the Rockets.

Lamar, Pau, Derek and Trevor's shots were all off last night. That ain't going to happen again.

When Artest banked in that 3 in the second half I knew it wasn't our night...

[Sonny Cheeba]

The Lakers were flatter than an ironing board last night, they better get their shit together if they want to advance. The Nuggets are too much fun to watch, THE BIRDMAN is fuckin crazy out there.

Cleveland will destroy the Hawks tonight.

EDIT....my bad the game already started and the Cavs are up big.

[el boracho]

lakers had probably one of the worst games of the year and they were still in it....They will bounce back...Im not worried ....

[JRaider17]

I'm not worried because the whole team was off and Artest was on fire...yet we were still in the game and almost won.

[el boracho]

I'm not worried because the whole team was off and Artest was on fire...yet we were still in the game and almost won.

that was by far the worst the lakers could play and just about the best houston could play.....not worried either

[Tió Nook Nook]

i'd be worried if bynum keeps playing like ass

[el boracho]

i'd be worried if bynum keeps playing like ass

no Pau has been playing like shxt....dude needs to man the fxck up

[Tió Nook Nook]

you're right, it's good when your starting center only gets 3 boards and 3 fouls in like 5 minutes

[LB_RA¹Ð³R]

Both Bynum & Gasol have been playing like crap!..

[JRaider17]

Bynum scoring wise is good, its just that he gets into foul trouble in the 1st quarter...

[Padrino]

i'd be worried if bynum keeps playing like ass

I may be a homer but it looks like the officials have an agenda against Andrew. He does need to start cleaning of the boards and make his presence known when guys drive the lane!..

no Pau has been playing like shxt....dude needs to man the fxck up

Pau had one bad game, come on man...

Both Bynum & Gasol have been playing like crap!..

Disagree. If the zebras let Andrew get intot a flow without blowing their whistles at every ticky tack touch he'll be alright...

Bynum scoring wise is good, its just that he gets into foul trouble in the 1st quarter...

Exactly! He's going up against Yao fkn Ming. He needs to be able to get in some physicality agaisnt him...

[RaiderzVixen]

We'll be alright!! We'll have a better game tonight!!!!!

[JRaider17]

We better win tonight.

[Tió Nook Nook]

lakers will win tonight.
rockets will win series in 6

:stir:

WTF are they doin in 2nd?

[LB_RA¹Ð³R]

Damn!! Scola got fukked up!! Hahaha

[RaiderzVixen]

Fisher lit him up! It was a cheap shot, though. Nothing to be proud of...

Hahaha sign Fischer up for the Raiders! He hits harder than our D-LINE!!!
F**KING COMEDY!!! I watched that sh*t over and over again this morning man i needed that laugh!!!!

[Padrino]

I hope he doesn't get suspended, but I think he will...

[LB_RA¹Ð³R]

Yeah i think he will, I hope bryant won't though.. that elbow he threw to Artest was clear to me..

[JRaider17]

He didn't have to throw an elbow, but both him an Artest was going at it.

[Miklo]

They suspended Dwight Howard for his elbow, but I'll throw 5 down that Kobe won't get anything but a slap on the wrist, not even a fine. It's garbage that Artest gets thrown out of the game for taking an elbow to the throat, and the NBA's posterboy gets praised for doing it. Ron Artest is definitely the criminal here.

It's garbage that Artest gets thrown out of the game for taking an elbow to the throat, and the NBA's posterboy gets praised for doing it. Ron Artest is definitely the criminal here.


First off, that wasn't an elbow to the throat. Secondly, Kobe's been suspended before for barely swiping at someone. His elbow to Ron's CHEST shouldn't be a suspension, period. Dwight Howard's elbow caught Miller dead in the grill. He earned his suspension.

Fisher, on the other hand, got what he deserved. No doubt about it...

[JRaider17]

Kobe got a flagrant right?

Ron Artest was WAY out of line homie! WAY OUTTA LINE! Especially with the refs anyways he practically through his hands in the air almost ejecting himself out the game F**CK ARTEST! I would have kicked him in his knee and ran really fast if i were there hahaha!
UGHHH that was so frustrating to watch! Trying to nut up on the court c'mon take the f-en hit and move on, play some f-en playoff basketball!!
That is what its called PLAYOFF basketball! Not patty cake!

[Sonny Cheeba]

^^ So if Kobe took an elbow to the throat from Artest, then Bryant was called for the foul, it would be OK for Kobe to flip out on the refs? I'm just say'n...

And if Alston got suspended for that pathetic little love tap he gave Eddie House then it's hard to think Kobe isn't getting the star treatment.

[JRaider17]

Kobe's elbow landed in the chest...not the neck.

[RaiderzVixen]

what about that game last nite??? one hell of a game boys!!! goo lakers!!!

[JRaider17]

what about that game last nite??? one hell of a game boys!!! goo lakers!!!

I love we actually played defense!

[Raidermaiden]

Damn Laker's what was up with them today, Hornets didn't even have yao in there, so disappointed in them

[Tió Nook Nook]

my prediction of rockets in 6 can still come true :stir:

[Raidermaiden]

The way the Lakers are playing just might come true......no need to stir the pot.:(

[JRaider17]

Lakers played pathetic, that team will not win the championship this year. They do not want it bad enough.

[Skern]

I'm not even tripping we will win the series.

GO LAKERS!

[Raidermaiden]

^way to think positive Skern.

Is Odom's back injury really bad?

[Tió Nook Nook]

i read that he ain't gonna practice monday and is questionable for tuesday's game

[Raidermaiden]

i read that he ain't gonna practice monday and is questionable for tuesday's gameThanks Paradigm.... shoot not what I was hoping to hear.

[Tió Nook Nook]

In the third quarter Lamar Odom charged into Battier, lost his balance and landed hard on his tailbone. Odom has back spasms, will undergo testing and treatment Monday and said he won't practice Monday and wasn't sure about his availability for Game 5 on Tuesday.

"Hopefully I can help them when they play," Odom said.

[Raidermaiden]

Ouch! Thanks again Paradigm

[JRaider17]

Its not about thinking positive, the fact is we got embarrassed by a Rockets team who has 2 of their big player out Yao and T-Mac. The final score looks a lot better then it was cause of garbage points. The Lakers got embarrassed point blank. A supposedly championship was down by 30 to a Rockets team without Yao and McGrady, and Artest had a BAD night.

Not saying we can't win this series, but unless this mindset of the team changes we will not win the championship.

[Padrino]

Farmar and Brown should see a considerable increase in minutes tomorrow night. The only time Fisher should be in there is when Brooks isn't.

GO LAKESHOW!..

Yeah Fisher can't keep up with Brooks.

Exactly.. As much as I love DFish and all he's done as a Laker, dude is DONE.. He can't guard the quick little PG's in the league at all anymore (he was iffy at that task even when he was younger) so Phil needs to definitely give Jordan and Shannon more and more PT if we're gonna win this series..

[raiderdude69]

let's go laaaakerrs!!!!!!

Damn straight.. MUST FUCKING WIN tonight.. No more motherfucking excuses..

[RaiderzVixen]

Thats right!!! NO EXCUSES homie!! Show meeeeee the money baby!!!!

We're going to finish off Houston, then Denver, then Cleveland.

*David Stern* I'd like to congratulate Dr. Buss and the LOS ANGELES LAKERS on winning the 2009, NBA Championship!

Haha, I hope that's how it goes Jeff.. If we don't win it after all the expectations of this year, it'll be more disappointing than last year..

And besides, I want an excuse for potential divorce proceedings and fly down for that damn parade.. I went in '87, 2000 and 2001 (of course I was local then), missed 2002, but I NEEED to go to another one.. Nothing like a Purple and Gold parade down Figueroa..

BTW, busted out the Mickey D's Laker watch the other day.. Been in the closet since last year, but have had it since 2002 (maybe it was 2004 when McD's was selling those things) and the damn battery is still good.. Time was only off about 5 minutes..

Sweet watch.

Did you buy any of those collectible Laker bobble heads from 2003/4? I think it was from Carls Jr. They had D-Fish, Foxy, GP and Kobe. I still have mine even though my son decapitated them...

[raiderdude69]

Nah, never got the bobbleheads.. Watch only..

[Doyers y Esleigher]

LA bars close at 2 AM so be prepared for a nice overnight bender if you plan on doing this. There's some quality late night grub in the area though.

I got an Upper deck Kobe Bobble head with a basketball card too, still in the package. Package is kinda shot but the card and bobble head are in very good condition.

[Raidermaiden]

Wooo whooooooo Lakers kicking some butt tonight :clap::punch:

[ROCKET]

That was the Laker team I expect to see damn it.

[Raidermaiden]

Hopefully, that same Laker team shows up on Thursday at the home of the Hornets,

[Doyers y Esleigher]

Game 6 is in New Orleans?

[LB_RA¹Ð³R]

^ Naw LOL It's at Houston

[Raidermaiden]

Game 6 is in New Orleans?
:laugh: Silly me, don't know whether I'm coming or going lately sorry bout that.

[JRaider17]

Great bounce back game, hopefully we come out and play the same way tomorrow!

[RaiderzVixen]

That was the Laker team I expect to see damn it.

HUH?? You can say that again!!!
Lets do it again 2moro night!!!

[Padrino]

There's no reason we shouldn't be able to have a repeat performance tonight.

GO LAKERS!..

[RaiderzVixen]

Haha that's the spirit Tor!!!!! Bring it! I cant contain myself at work, I'm dying for the game to start. I already got all the goods in the fridge for tonight :mean:

[Doyers y Esleigher]

I need to get drunk as shit for this game. I couldn't handle a sober loss to this shit Rockets team tonight.

[Tió Nook Nook]

i'm about to head over to some friends house to watch the game.
will be the only non-laker fan in attendance haha
(though to be fair, there's only gonna be 3 people watchin the game)

[JRaider17]

Lakers...just end it tonight please.

[LB_RA¹Ð³R]

^ They will

[JRaider17]

^ They will

Ok good, thanks. lol

[LB_RA¹Ð³R]

^ No Prob. Man :beer:


:D

[Raidermaiden]

So nervous

[Sonny Cheeba]

If the Lakers think THIS is tough, wait till they play in Cleveland. If they get that far. :stir:

[RaiderzVixen]

dude wtf was that?? i am beyond pissed about how the team played 2NITE! there is no excuse in hell for playing that pitiful!!!! I am so disappointed!!!:cuss:

[Skern]

x2!

[Tió Nook Nook]

felt bad for my laker friends, but deep down inside, it felt so goood

:stir:

[Padrino]

The Rockets played ball out from the get go. Scola owned Gasol inside and out, and PJ refuses to put Fisher on the shelf.

Fuck it, no way the Rockets win on Saturday. PJ needs to start Farmar or Brown, Fisher is beyond a liability out there. I love you Fish, but enough is enough.

PS: A big fuck off to PJ and his shitty rotations and failure to call timeouts...

[LB_RA¹Ð³R]

Wow..:banghead...

I can't believe how well Houston is playing..

I just want 2 move on to Denver, We got embarrassed in the 1st!, I don't think we even lead at all in the game!...

Once again you couldn't have said it better Tor! Dude! Gasol played like he was asleep the whole game, he just let Scola dominate from the very beginning!
Fisher cant even keep up with Brooks, hes running circles around that fool, and i love my man Fisher too but its time for a change.
Oh and about Mr Jackson!! I must have yelled TIMEOUT 100 times last nite, c'mon now bite the bullet fool, you're f***ing us in a major way!

AND WHERE WAS THE D for crying out loud????

[Raiderette619]

That game was horrible..made me jump off the no drinking streak I was on...I was like pass me another Corona!!

[RaiderzVixen]

OMG I was just mad at the world!!!

[el boracho]

theres no way in hell houston can play as good as they have....i will be really shocked if they win game 7.....shxt is pissing me off....two dam 7 footers bynum and gasol and they havent done shxt....fxck!!!

[RaiderzVixen]

thank you thank you! Thats exactly what i thought!
Bynums had too much rest during his time out with his injury to be playing that damn tired!!! :cuss:

[Raidermaiden]

What was up with Gasol, he played like shit couldn't cover Scola for shit and what was up with the referring fuckers, I'm not saying they lost the game for the Lakers but still the refs sucked last night.....I'm beyond pissed too the worst thing is yao was not even playing again....the Rockets were just to fast for the Lakers it seemed sometimes the Lakers just looked winded to me....ughhhh they better win on Sunday at home.

and fuck Scola

[Doyers y Esleigher]

You guys are ignoring the fact that last night may have been the worst officiated NBA game since games 5 and 6 of the 2002 WCF. I seriously never blame the refs for shit but I was up in arms. That shit was pathetic, and David Stern deserves to get chin checked for the stunt he pulled. Now the Lakers will roll Houston in LA, and the NBA will get their ratings fix from having the Lakers play a weekend playoff game.

[skog]

oh please....Lakers have the best record for most of the season and all the fans wanna talk shit...they lose a few games in the playoffs and its panic mode now and blame the refs...you gotta be fuckin kidding me. Lakers got whooped straight up, blame them and their lack of defense and lackluster performance not the referees. I knew they would choke this season just figured not this early, hope the Rockets roll em on Saturday. If not, good luck with Denver.

I ain't blaming the refs, but they really did officiate a bad game last night, that is no excuse for Gasol's bad play and no defense whatsover. Lakers are my team I root for them whether they are good or bad, so win or lose I will root for them till the end win or lose. Hopefully the refs will be on the Lakers side come Sunday usually that is the way it works refs are always for the home boys.

[skog]

the refs do always side with the home team...so whats the big deal. Lakers gotta earn their way thru the playoffs not have it giftwrapped and handed to them, which Im sure many of Lakers fans thought happened when Yao went down. Fact is, Lakers were losing that entire game, and lost by 15. Maybe they didnt "get" the same calls they get in LA, well tough shit, welcome to the NBA.

Obvious? everytime Lakers lose its an excuse.

And thanks, better luck next year with the Lakers too.

[Sonny Cheeba]

I gotta agree 110 with skog here. The refs were bad, just like they are in approximately 95% of all games. Did the refs tell the Lakers to start off like 1/15 FG shooting? Did they tell them to let Luis Scola and Aaron Brooks look like Bird and Isiah in their prime?

The Lakers will win game 7, and they MIGHT beat Denver....but Cleveland will steamroll them if they bring that piss-poor effort in the Finals. Yes, I'm well aware that LA is 2-0 vs. Cleveland in the regular season, but LA was also 4-0 vs Houston this year and it was supposed to be a cakewalk against them, especially when Yao went down.

[raiderdude69]

Damn girl, LOVIN' the passion... AND the F bombs too.. Couldn't have said it any better..

This damn team better wake their asses up tomorrow or it's gonna be a LOOOOOONG offseason in Laker land..

And the refs sucked no doubt, but can't blame them.. This team and coaching staff are fuckin' up what was supposed to be a dream season.. That shit's gotta end NOW..

[JRaider17]

The refs were horrible, and it changes the game because if your getting mauled inside with no calls, then your not gonna go back. The Lakers did not play well, but the refs certainly played there part in making a game 7.

With that being said.... we should get our big guys involved early, like game 4. Feed it in to Bynum and Gasol, don't settle for outside jumpers. Also please take Fisher out of the starting line up, he can not keep up with Brooks and has feel off shooting wise.

[LB_RA¹Ð³R]

^ I think you mean game 5 because we got fkked up on game 4 as well

But i agree with taking out Fisher, i think Farmar would be better, & sasha hasn't been playing well this series at all i think they should keep him on the bench this time & stay with Shannon Brown.

[JRaider17]

Yeah I meant 5, my bad.

And Sasha hasn't been playing well all year!

[Raidermaiden]

Yay! Lakers win........now that was more like it, Gasol played great, Bynum was awesome total team work. Was not even close....So happy right now. woooooooooo whooooooo.

[JRaider17]

Big guys stepped it up...we need to use them more like that.

[raiderdude69]

big time balls showed by our boys today.. Just wish it hadn't gone to 7 games, but whatever, we move on to play Denver.. Denver's tough, no doubt, so we better step the fuck up or we could be in trouble.. It starts Tuesday night.. Let's go MF'ers..

[LB_RA¹Ð³R]

Good game!, Knew they would step up at home!, Now for Denver IMO i think it will go better for us than the Houston series.

[Padrino]

Bring on Denver!

GO LAKESHOW!..

[ROCKET]

LMAO, Boston going fishing!!!

Bring on the Denver Thuggets!

Im gonna predict the Lakers go 7 games again, the NBA needs ratings and ticket sales.

[RaiderzVixen]

whata game that was awesome!!!! :clap:
Whose hungry for some McNuggets??

[Skern]

Lets go Lakers!!!!
