Right, as I said, Lakers over Heat in the finals...I mean Pacers over Timberwolves
-
Can\'t believe Chris Mihm scores a career high in his Lakers debut.
-
Followed it up with a strong 6 in last night\'s debacle
-
What happened in the game last night?
Terrible?
-
Jazz 104, Lakers 78
Kobe 38
Jazz took a 7-0 lead and it was never close
-
Watch out for the Washington Wizards this season.
With the addition of Jamison, Jarvis Hayes, and Michael Ruffin....plus Gilbert Arenas, Juan Dixon, Larry Hughes, Brendan Haywood, and Etan Thomas,...thats a solid 8
Good thing they got rid of Christian "stoner" Laitner
-
I agree. The Wiz are a rough diamond.
OK, now that I\'ve had some time, these were all made before last night\'s games:
EAST
PLAYOFF TEAMS
Pacers, Pistons, Heat, Knicks, Wizards, Raptors, Bulls, 76ers
FINAL FOUR
Pacers, Pistons, Heat, Knicks
EAST CHAMPIONSHIP
Pacers over Pistons
WEST
PLAYOFF TEAMS
Lakers, Mavericks, Timberwolves, Spurs, Kings, Nuggets, Rockets, Jazz
FINAL FOUR
Mavericks, Timberwolvs, Spurs, Rockets
EAST CHAMPIONSHIP
Timberwolves over Mavericks
NBA CHAMPIONSHIP
Pacers over Timberwolves in 7

As a Hornets fan, I\'ve already got that we\'ll get em next year attitude. With practically no offseason moves (Rodney Rogers....oh boy), an all star that doesn\'t want to be there any more, no fans going to games, a town that already beginning to see why Charlotte hated George Shinn, and a move to West, I can\'t expect much. Definintely one of most hurting franchises right now. Hopefully once they get rid of Mash\'s contract, they\'ll have some money to work with......doubt B.D. will stick around that long though.
-
Mike,
Maybe now is a good time to become a Bobcats fan.
-
couldbe Al! Maybe b/w the two teams, I\'ll get to enjoy a total of 10 wins this year!!!
-
I hear the Bobcats didn\'t get blown out in their NBA debut last night.
Be the contrarian and get your jersey before they get hot.
-
Lakers may have lost tonite but they made a game of it and showed me that with a little time together this team will be alright. Key to this is making sure Kobe and Lamar are on the floor @ the same time!!!!
-
Bryant had a decent game, but turned it over driving into a huge pack when the game was still up for grabs, down six with two minutes left. Odom had his best game as a Laker, but still had 6 of the team\'s 18 turnovers, in comparison to the Spurs 11. Chucky Atkins had as a good a game as any Laker, hitting 3-of-4 three-pointers, including the one that got them within six.
But nothing from the bench and you simply can\'t win when you allow anyone, in this case Duncan, to get 10 offensive rebounds, including two crucial ones down the stretch, one time after he had missed both free throws.
To the Lakers credit, the battled and battled and battled. To the Spurs credit, they got the W.

Not that anybody really wants another Lakers thread.

agreed.

Fine! So it\'s settled then. No Lakers thread. And no Lakers discussion. Nobody talk about Kobe or the Lakers. No Lakers talk at all. Nobody wants to read someone talking about the Lakers. Kobe, Peeler, Van Exel, Divac, Worthy, whoever else they have now, nobody cares. No Laker talk.

It\'s your team, therefore you are the one lacking the magic johnson.
-
No Vlade Divac? Fuck it, I\'m heading over the Phantasy Tour.
-
Where\'s Sedale Threatt when you need him?
-
Hey the few Laker fans on this site are going through a rough transition what w/ Kobe trying to figure out if he should pass or shoot. I don\'t see any other NBA fans even posting really so I see this as a Laker thread. WHAT?
As for Karl Malone and his comments Screw him! Kobe was being the leader he needs to be and letting his guys know he was there for them. If Karl wants to keep stringing Laker management on fine but the guys out there bustin\' ass do not need it.

I\'m a Washington Wizards fan... Gheorghe Muresan forever.
(http://www.interbasket.net/players/muresan.jpg)
-
Ol\' Gheorghey boy is a great actor too, co-starring with Billy Crystal in the 1998 epic MY GIANT
A summary:
Sammy, a second-rate talent agent (Billy Crystal), heads to Romania where he stumbles upon a 7-foot, 7-inch "giant" named Max (Gheorghe Muresan). George lives in a monestary and quotes Shakespeare, but Sammy believes Max could be his ticket to the top.
So Sammy and Max set out to fulfill their dreams. For Sammy, that means to make Max a big movie star and to get the credit for that transformation. For Max, it means finding his long-lost love, Lillianna (Joanna Pacula) in the desert of New Mexico. Along the way, they\'ll both experience unexpected tranformations of the heart.
The NBA sure does spawn some great actors. Get ready for Ron Artest in KAZZAM 2!!!
-
or the man... Greg Ostertag..my hero... taking Andre the Giant\'s spot in the next \'Princess Bride\' comming out in July \'05!!!
Muresan makes way too many unnecessary stupid faces when he disagrees with the call...
-
Mihm w/ 21 rebounds. Learning how to use his bulk and opening up outside shots. Missing that fat fuck less and less. Cannot wait until Sat. though.
-
As much as I want to see the Lakers beat the Heat, I can\'t be too confident about Mihm guarding Shaq. You got on me for calling Wells a fat fuck. Well that fat fuck helped put up three banners in Staples. That said, I hope Kobe puts up 50 and Lakers win. But Mihm? Please! He had nearly one rebound for every Hornets loss. This Lakers team has a ton to prove, starting with the fact that its worthy of making the playoffs. Every game is pivotal and Miami is tough. To think, Shaq and Riley on the other side. But it\'s a new era now. Tough to win with just one superstar. Odom has played well. Still not in his prime. 14-11.
-
Yeah you\'re right that fat fuck did help put 3 banners up and I have given kudos to him for it. That being said he is still an ass for putting his ego 1st and letting his body decline. As soon as he leaves LA he gets all "ripped" FUCK HIM If he could have just been a real man and honored his commitment to the team he signed with and kept in shape this would not have happened. Kobe would have been happy to play w/ A FIT SHAQ til the cows come home. Shaq is fat and still misses games for the Heat. Go Lakers!!!!
-
Of course I agree with the Go Lakers sentiment and I hope Kobe dunks on Shaq\'s head tomorrow. But try to understand my position that I simply can\'t let anybody rip Shaq and defend Wells, considering where the two of them rate on my all-time athletes likability scale. I\'ve never cared about whose "fault" it was that he left. I think everyone from Shaq, Kobe, Phil, Buss, and Kupchak deserves the blame, or credit, depending on how things shake out. But right now, Shaq is co-starring on the team with the best record in the East.
-
Yeah I had to defend Whales jus\' cause he sucked it up for my Pads. As far as Shaq you said it he is co-starring on the team with the best record in the EAST. How many really good teams are there in the East ? So here goes Whales is a fat Bosock and Shaqfat rules the East when he plays. Happy? ;)
-
I\'ll be happy if and when the Lakers win another championship. That would be nice. Kobe wins without Shaq and Shaq fails to win without Kobe just as was the case with Orlando. But I\'ll never hate Shaq. Ever. Even if the Heat beat the Lakers in the final, I\'ll say the Lakers had it coming. And if the Lakers beat the Heat in the final, I\'ll say fuck you to all the Kobe haters. Happy Holidays.
-
Way to ride the fence Pitch.
-
Ho Ho Ho, Pitchie Claus will also ride his sleigh throughout the country, delivering a Bowflex to Shaq, a defense to the Lakers, and a copy of every episode of One Life to Live to the media so they can focus on real soap operas as opposed to the one they\'ve promoted every day for years, even as Kobe and Shaq were winning championships.

shit, let me know when you\'re coming here to pick those up so i can have them ready for you.. :D
-
While you\'re at it, see if you can get me any of the lost episodes of Guiding Light.
Thanks a million.
-
Team Embryo wins a tight one against the Wolves. Keep Growing Lakers !!!
-
That really was a great win. Atkins shot tremendously. Caron\'s improved throughout the season. And Odom seemed out of it last night, but hit some key shots in the fourth. A true team effort.
-
Nice win tonite against those pesky Warriors. Lakers are the only team w/ a winning record w/o a 3 game winning streak. 6 games over .500, 3-1 w/o Kobe, currently 6th seed learning how to play team ball. Anyone notice a familiar offense lately? Here\'s a hint :link: Pretty funny if ya ask me. Whatever works though huh? Liking Chucky more and more and if Lamar can just remember to play like he has when Kobe comes back .....
-
WOW!! Looks like a Kobeless team is too much for Rudy to handle. Reports say he is going to resign after tonight\'s game. Woah!!
-
Tough to sort this out. Some say Rudy may decide to come back in a month or so. That would be fine if he\'s up to it. If not, and I know this is probably not a popular opinion among most Laker fans, but I would absolutely make a full-court press to bring back the best candidate to Phil the position.
-
Damn it\'s official Rudy is resigning. FUUUUCCCKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Huge comeback win last night. Bryant is playing his best of the season. Heat in a week.
-
Lakers season over. Confirmed.
-
Lakers season over. Confirmed.
I believe their record is 30-37 that leaves 15 games to make up 5.5 games for the 8th spot. It\'s not over. Give up now, don\'t come trawling around next year.
-
Leith, I\'ve been telling Laker-haters all season that they\'re better than everyone thinks and that they\'ll be a tough out in the postseason. Unfortunately, they are the worst defensive Laker team in 25 years. Butler and Odom have been highly inconsistent, Mihm is literally one of the worst players to ever wear the uniform, and Hamblen can\'t make up his mind on the rotation: one game Medvedenko and Walton play 25 minutes, the next game they play 5. And enough of Tierre Brown, already!
This has nothing to do with my allegiance. I will still read every box score and tape every highlight montage. I will still watch any televised games. And I will probably be the first to spout optimism when next season starts. But they\'re 6 games behind Denver in the loss column. The Lakers have lost 7 straight. Denver has won 13 of 14 and destroyed the Lakers without Camby and KMart. I mean, show me the legs for the Lakers to stand on. Bryant has had a great year, but there\'s no man in the middle to clog the lane, free up outside shooters, and for Phil\'s Sake, play fucking defense.
-
i agree with pitchie on this one..
leith, i\'m all for optimism, but i think we have a better chance of seeing Terri Schiavo in an aerobics class today than we do seeing the lakers in the playoffs.. :duck:
-

or seeing christopher reeves horseback riding
ok i\'m definitely going to hell for that
-
Sorry for the myopia guys but I was RAISED not to give up hope when it comes to the Lakers. I will admit to THINKING what Pitch wrote but .... Yeah the defense I thought Odom could play has never surfaced and Caron forgot all his potential back in thongland. I do think they can still make the playoffs as I have seen stranger shit happen. The team really is not that bad and with a new coach next year we will see that.
As for mama.........laka......a that joke would have been funny if Superman wasn\'t DEAD.
-
Dewayne Wade is Fucking nasty. confirmed.
-
we\'re out.. :( oh well..
-
Let\'s arrange a charity game between this Laker team and the last that didn\'t make the postseason, the 93-94 squad. Oh wait, Divac was on both teams. Well, that oughta tell us something.
In all seriousness, my money\'s on the Heat.
-

So we get a coach he retires, we get Vlade he does not play, Devean George plays 5 games after having a stellar yr last yr, Odom forgets he\'s any good, Caron flat out forgot HOW to play and Grant plays like the man on his arm DEAD. Well there\'s nxt yr huh?
-
San Antonio Spurs vs. Detroit Pistons.
:YAWN:
-
Wonder who Shaq is gonna blame this loss on. Detroit had his # AGAIN!!!!!
Wow this yr.has 2 TEAM first oriented teams. Gonna be a decent matchup for sure.
-
yeah i think its gonna be a great series for that reason leith. both of the teams arent star oriented with the one standout player. and both clubs play such high level basketball its fun to watch, right now all im concerned with is it being well officiated by the refs.
-
Shaq with Phil and Kobe: 3 titles
Shaq with everybody else: 0
Points for Dwayne Wade in the fourth quarter of Game 7 at home: 0
CAN YOU DIG IT?
-
San Antonio Spurs vs. Detroit Pistons.
:YAWN:
Agreed!
I\'ll be playing b-ball at the court down the street instead of wasting my time watching the finals.
-
Shaq with Phil and Kobe: 3 titles

Points for Dwayne Wade in the fourth quarter of Game 7 at home: 0

EXACTLY my thoughts.

:zzz:
-
Spurs are going to sweep this series. I don\'t watch basketball, so I don\'t care.
-
They\'re still playing basketball? I\'ve never heard so much lockout talk during a Finals. Are they going to lock out the rest of the finals? Way to go National Boring Association.

welcome back, phillip!
big week for the Jackson family!
-
A great day in the history of an elite franchise
-
series doesnt really start til the home team loses so ou never know detriot could come back, but 4 out of 5 highly unlikely. Miaimi prob would of put up a better match up and should of won that series if it werent for hte injuries
-
The man who said Kobe could not be coached is back for another try. Well it was the ONLY choice to make really. Hopefully Kobe can forget that Phil wrote a bunch of Crap about him and just prove that he can be the player we all think he can be.
-
It will be ineresting to see how Phil phares with a midgrade ballclub. It would be even more interesting to see how he fares with an atrocious club like the Clippers, but this should be good. Lakers > Finals in 2007.
-
So rumor is Phil has offered Scottie Pippen an assistent coaching position specifically to teach Lamar his old position. Uh DUH!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I have said b4 that Lamar needs to assume the Pippen role for the Lakers to succeed. Nice to see Phil is thinking the same way. Hell it worked for a long time in Chicago and Kobe already KNOWS how to win Rings.
-
good thing this series is close, cause the games sure as hell aren\'t..
-

Yeah, How the hell can a team completely dominate 2 games in a row THEN get routed 2 games in a row by the same team they ruled face on?
It\'s just amazing what a little rest and being home can do for a team.
-
I love how two of the most important figures in the history of LA basketball (Phil Jackson and Bill Walton) are both pot-smoking deadhead hippies.
-
"Who\'s Kobe Bryant, Ive never heard of him."
-
funny how horry couldnt do shit for the lakers last yr or maybe it was the year before perhaps both, either way. he went like 1 for 27 from 3 pt land and last nite he saves timmy ds sorry ass b playing his greatest gamer EVER. Total BS
I honestly dont even know why I watch the nba finals. im a heat fan b/c of Shaq so I hate both the Spurs and the Pistons.
-
I love basketball (playing more than watching though), yet I haven\'t been able to stomach more than 3 minutes of the entire series thus far.
-
I love how two of the most important figures in the history of LA basketball (Phil Jackson and Bill Walton) are both pot-smoking deadhead hippies.
If you\'re talking only about the NBA maybe but the most important figure in LA basketball history is uh some guy named Coach John Wooden.
-
Clearly, Robert Horry is better than Shaq. And he didn\'t even have to bitch and talk shit all year.
-
Robert Horry going to the hole and dunking w/ his left was pretty much the highlight of this series for me so far and I want Detroit to win.
