Lakers vs. Hornets

[SpursDynasty]

I will say it right now the Lakers WILL NOT, I repeat WILL NOT win this game tonight. Sorry Lakers but no more freebie games, time to face some real competition.

[Reck]

Last I checked The Lakers have beat The Hornets twice already, last game they played one another the Lakers toyed with them.

I dont see what's gonna change tonight.

[IronMexican]

I wish this was on KCAL.

[Allanon]

This will be the first time in something like 20 years that the Lakers win 16 home games in a row. Really no point for the Hornets to show up for this game.

I'm more interested in the outcome of the Bobcats/Celtics game.... Bocats 70, Celtics 63 almost end of the 3rd. :D

[Reck]

I'm more interested in the outcome of the Bobcats/Celtics game.... Bocats 70, Celtics 63 almost end of the 3rd. :D

That makes two of us.

I was gonna make a post earlier about it but didn't want to jinx Bobcats. :lol

[Allanon]

I was gonna make a post earlier about it but didn't want to jinx Bobcats. :lol

Ooops :toast

We'll see in about 8 weeks, what do you folks think?

[endrity]

Sorry SD, the Lakers have a recent history of owning the hornets, their frontcourt is just too good for the bees.

[DPG21920]

Lakers are a terrible match up for the Hornets. LMAO at people who say the Hornets would have beat the Lakers last year in the WCF. They do the Steve Nash Spurs treatment to CP3, make him dribble around and then shoot. No doubles.

[Lakers_55]

Laker fans, shall we use this thread as the game thread? I don't believe in SD jinxes.

[Allanon]

Sounds good to me. Even SD can't jinx the Lakers when they play the Hornets.

[024]

i've already conceded that lakers will win first place in the west. so hopefully the lakers will win to put the spurs further ahead in the division.

[sonic21]

celtics/bobcats OT

[Allanon]

celtics/bobcats OT

This game is giving me a heart attack.

[Lakers_55]

Sounds good to me. Even SD can't jinx the Lakers when they play the Hornets.

Of any Laker fan disagrees with this being the official game thread, start a new one.

[IronMexican]

An SD official GD thread is awesome.

[BlackBellamy]

I am not so concerned with climbing to number one as I am with spreading the gap between us and Hornets/Nuggets. I think I'll (wisely) pick the Lakers. Plus, f*ck CP3 with the claw end of a hammer, that guy has no class.

[Reck]

Celtics are done. Down 7 with less then a minute to play.

Hahahaha

[IronMexican]

Dammit, I forgot the Bobcatsdynasty username pass.

[turiaf for president]

a guarentee by SD against the lakers again? this games in the bag then. book it

[SpursDynasty]

Wasn't Lakers vs Hornets already an NBA TV Fan Night game?

[Kobe™]

3-0 Against NOH Baby!

[Lakers_55]

intersting game. CPaul is on fire and we are missing open looks and only down by 4. Lots of fouls called.

[Allanon]

So many foul calls tonight...hahah Sasha got 3 fouls in 3 minutes.

[Lakers_55]

Gasol has 0 points on 0-4 shooting, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists.

[ElNono]

I think it's being called fairly even. About the same amount of phantom calls for Kobe and CP3. Then I think they're just trying to not let the game get too chippy.

[slowchild25]

That Chris Paul feller's pretty gud.

[slowchild25]

Holy crap! Fuck you Kobe. Fuck You.

[turiaf for president]

horrible close out of the half for the lakers. woulda been ugly if not for that sick shot by kobe

[SpursDynasty]

Cool. Hornets up at the half, pretty much like expected.

The Hornets are just going out there and playing their game. When a team does that, and makes their shots, and doesn't play like shit, they beat the Lakers. That's all NOH is doing.

[SmellyFeet]

Fuck you Crawford. What kind of officiating is that?

[Allanon]

Sick, sick shot by Kobe to end the half.

Lakers defense is much better with Odom on the floor...I hope that injury is minor.

[timvp]

Damn CP3 is curbstomping Fisher . . .

[ElNono]

I think NOH is letting Bynum get his, in exchange for not letting Pau be effective. Might be a sound gameplan... we'll see how Phil adjusts in the half...

[j.dizzle]

hopefully LO is alright cuz hes been pretty damn agressive lately..Hornets played as good as they could & lakers were pretty sloppy..when pau has 0 points are only down 5 at halftime ill take that anyday

[Allanon]

Yah, Fish hasn't showed up yet. Leading the team in shots (9) but only has 7 points.

Fish will probably come out better after the half. Not too concerned about losing this one,..Kobe will come thru. I'm more concerned about Lamar's knee.

[DPG21920]

Damn CP3 is curbstomping Fisher . . .

Fisher has lost a step for sure.

[timvp]

Lakers will beat this team by double figures like we always do.

True. Lakers by 11.

[Lakers_55]

I think NOH is letting Bynum get his, in exchange for not letting Pau be effective. Might be a sound gameplan... we'll see how Phil adjusts in the half...

All of Gasol's shots are the kinds he usually makes, he did rush one.

[SmellyFeet]

True. Lakers by 11.

Nice jinx try.

[timvp]

Nice jinx try.

Jinx? The Lakers own the Hornets.

[slowchild25]

Bynum is a huge let down.

I'll tell you what's a huge let down both teams defense. It's like Mike 'Antoni is coaching both sides.

[td4mvp21]

I'm actually hoping the Lakers win, it would be good to gain more ground on the Hornets for the division.

[Reck]

Figures when I actually want Lakers to win and do good they do the oposite.

[SpursDynasty]

Hornets still up...again, they are just playing their game, winning in a game they're supposed to be winning in against an average Lakers team.

[YellowFever]

Bynum is a huge let down.


Bynum <~~~ All of Shaq's cockiness with none of the skills

[DrHouse]

Kobe Is Getting Fouled On Every Freaking Shot

[SpursDynasty]

This is a high scoring game. Good shot by Predrag Stojakovic.

[SmellyFeet]

Jesus kobe....

[YellowFever]

Holy cripes....

80 to 80 with little over 4 minutes to go in the third..

[DrHouse]

These refs have been horrific tonight.

Hornets having a picture perfect night on offense and still only up 3. Damn these Lakers are tough to beat.

[slowchild25]

God the Hornets road jerseys' are nasty. I can't believe I have to look at that shit for 41+ games.

[DrHouse]

For fuck sakes could Pau be playing any softer? Radmanovich is utterly useless.

Kobe is carrying the team.

[DazedAndConfused]

Could CP3 be anymore of a bitch? If the Hornets didn't suck so badly against the Lakers I might actually hate this guy.

[Reck]

I now hate Paul.

Why does he always have to have that stupid "I'm better then you, shut the fuck up" look?

Cock blower.

[scanry]

Hornets still up...again, they are just playing their game, winning in a game they're supposed to be winning in against an average Lakers team.

Seriously man, you've got to be a Lakers fan. :blah

[DazedAndConfused]

Don't fuck with the Mamba.

Don't fuck with the Mamba.

[ElNono]

This game looks like NBA Live 09, Medium difficulty, with somebody playing Kobe....

[Reck]

Hornets are fucked.

1.5 behind Spurs (pending) :D

[slowchild25]

Your tacky and I hate you!

[DazedAndConfused]

Neither Lebron nor Wade will ever be able to dominate the game like Kobe is doing right now at the age of 30.

[Reck]

You're tacky and I hate you!

Fixed. :toast

[slowchild25]

Neither Lebron nor Wade will ever be able to dominate the game like Kobe is doing right now at the age of 30.

Calm down. He has Rasul Butler guarding him. I think I would have 25 on him by now. :nope

[Allanon]

Man, Kobe is on fire.... he must have read that ST thread about how Pau is really the MVP of this team :D

[slowchild25]

Fixed. :toast

Yea I was never too good at using the right your you're there their to too and after a few beers it tends to get worse. :toast

[Allanon]

This game looks like NBA Live 09, Medium difficulty, with somebody playing Kobe....

:lmao

[ElNono]

Neither Lebron nor Wade will ever be able to dominate the game like Kobe is doing right now at the age of 30.

Actually, I've seen Lebron dominate a game like this before, and with scrubs like Sideshow Bob next to him. Then again, I think Kobe right now is the better overall player.

[slowchild25]

You wanna know who is a beast on that game... JR Fucking Smith. My little nephew dropped 90 on me with that guy. It was my first time playing but still... hes only 12.

Your cousin or JR Smith. Because I swear JR Smith has the mind and impulse control (i.e. shot selection) of a 12 year old.

[j-money24]

SD, get ready to eat ur words. noob

[ElNono]

What's Powell doing out there? Is Bynum that bad?

[DazedAndConfused]

Refs trying to give this game to the Hornets.

[ElNono]

Refs trying to give this game to the Hornets.

Please don't even try. That CP3 flop only evens out the Fish flop in the 3rd quarter...

[Lakers_55]

going to be a wild fourth quarter!

[j-money24]

What's Powell doing out there? Is Bynum that bad?
hes been that bad

[slowchild25]

Wow the 2nd hornets air ball of a 2 foot jumper in 2 minutes. Awesome. Way to step it up guys.

[ElNono]

CP3 is such a bitch... He just threw an airball, and now he's jawing like somebody owes him something...

[SmellyFeet]

I need an objective observer to help me out here. Is the officiating really this bad? it really does seem like hornets getting all the stops here.

[YellowFever]

Is it my imagination or are the refs really trying to suck all the air out of a really cool game?

[j.dizzle]

damn i used to like cp3 but the dude is a lil bitch when hes playing..he plays dangerous the way he jumps into ppl (example odom) & he whines more then anyone ive seen..he needs to shut his trap & just play..you cant even breathe on his ass without getting a foul called

[DazedAndConfused]

Refs are horrific tonight.

[YellowFever]

I need an objective observer to help me out here. Is the officiating really this bad? it really does seem like hornets getting all the stops here.

It's Crawford..what do you expect?

[Reck]

Show the game. Fuck Luke Walton. lol

[ElNono]

If Kobe would drive to the basket he would get the same Phantom calls... I just think Kobe is saving it for the end...

[ElNono]

Why is Sasha on CP3 instead of Ariza?

[slowchild25]

Show the game. Fuck Luke Walton. lol

I'm watching the game on cox sports apparently we don't get loving longing shots of Luke Walton over here. :sadface:

[Reck]

Damn 100+ points with 7 left to go.

[ElNono]

If you guys are going to play Powell, you need to tell him not to shoot. Lakers look kind of thin in the front court if Bynum is not going to play...

[Reck]

Fish always loses it in close games. Keep calm man

[DazedAndConfused]

The refs are legitimately trying to give this game to the Hornets.

[ElNono]

Somebody give the Playstation controller to the same guy that was playing Kobe on the 3rd quarter...

[DazedAndConfused]

If you guys are going to play Powell, you need to tell him not to shoot. Lakers look kind of thin in the front court if Bynum is not going to play...

Yes they are thin when Lamar Odom goes down you dumbass.

[j-money24]

PJ benched Bynum sorry ass...good

good, he deserves it.

[ElNono]

Yes they are thin when Lamar Odom goes down you dumbass.

Don't get mad at me... I'm not a zebra...

[Reck]

C'mom Jack Black show 'em your pick of destiny.

[ElNono]

I hate Posey... but he can knock em down...

[YellowFever]

Expect about 3 or 4 straight fouls on the Hornets..the refs are going to try to make it look good in the box scores.

[slowchild25]

David West is retarded

[Allanon]

Now I'm worried.

[peskypesky]

I hate to root for them...but GO HORNETS!!

[peskypesky]

Hornets can't miss.

[DANILO DRASKOVIC]

http://www.tampabay.com/multimedia/archive/00020/c4s_dirk042208_20174d.jpg

[ElNono]

Ariza had it twice...

[slowchild25]

Ariza had it twice...

Only in your's and Ariza's mind. What the fuck is he thinking "Kobe had 20 points in the last quarter but fuck it I'm jackin' this shit, I only get the ball like four times a game".

[DazedAndConfused]

LO on West would have been key right now. Pau just cannot stay with him.

[Reck]

David West is retarded

Yeah he's retarded good.

[scanry]

David West is shitting all over Pau. :wow:wow

[peskypesky]

LO on West would have been key right now. Pau just cannot stay with him.

true

[Reck]

I hate to root for them...but GO HORNETS!!

Why would you do that?

[j-money24]

we lost,,
good job bynum and gasol
this makes it more laugable to whoever sais that gasol is more valuable to kobe.

[slowchild25]

Yeah he's retarded good.

[peskypesky]

I can't wait to hear Phil Jackson's whining after the game.

[ElNono]

To be honest David West was eating LO lunch's too... but then again, it's one of those games where West looks like an All-Star...

[peskypesky]

Why would you do that?

Because I HATE the Lakers more than the Hornets.

[slowchild25]

The Hornets announcer's are near orgasmic right now. God I hate homers.

[DazedAndConfused]

Our bigs didn't show up tonight. LO was dominating but he went down.

[peskypesky]

To be honest David West was eating LO lunch's too... but then again, it's one of those games where West looks like an All-Star...

39 and 10....yeah, that's All-Star I'd say.

[scanry]

The Chinese should be ashamed of themselves for voting T-Mac over CP3.

Even though he acts like a dick, he's by far the best point guard in the NBA.

I actually think he's the best player in the NBA right now.

[Reck]

Because I HATE the Lakers more than the Hornets.

Even if it causes the Spurs first place in their respetive division?

[DazedAndConfused]

The refs are absolutely ridiculous. 1st fixed game of the season.

[peskypesky]

Even if it causes the Spurs first place in their respetive division?

yep

[ElNono]

Any Laker fans would like to give SpursDynasty props for the accurate prediction tonight?

[Bartleby]

The refs are absolutely ridiculous. 1st fixed game of the season.

:cry

[DazedAndConfused]

I don't care about regular season games too much anymore. All I needed to see was that the Lakers could beat the Celtics. They proved they can do that.

Just stay healthy and get to the post season with the #1 seed.

[TheMACHINE]

3rd quarter HOT
4th Quarter COLD

[Reck]

Lakers have run out fuel for the game.

[ElNono]

The refs are absolutely ridiculous. 1st fixed game of the season.

Come on. Take it like a man... you lost 1 game at home and you're bitching already?

[SmellyFeet]

Any Laker fans would like to give SpursDynasty props for the accurate prediction tonight?

He predicts a laker loss every game. He's bound to be right every once in a while.

[slowchild25]

Haha. Butler you suck.

[dirk4mvp]

I will say it right now the Lakers WILL NOT, I repeat WILL NOT win this game tonight. Sorry Lakers but no more freebie games, time to face some real competition.


good call :tu

[turiaf for president]

looks like a loss for the lakers

[peskypesky]

I don't care about regular season games too much anymore. All I needed to see was that the Lakers could beat the Celtics. They proved they can do that.

Just stay healthy and get to the post season with the #1 seed.

don't you mean "get healthy"?

[TheMACHINE]

man i wish i could carry err dribble like Chris Paul.

[YellowFever]

All bitching aside about the refs, the Hornets needed this one badly.

I don't feel at all nervous about meeting this team in the playoffs.

SD, do your thing...

[DANILO DRASKOVIC]

butler got pinned

[DazedAndConfused]

The only thing I'm pissed off about is LO being injured. Couldn't care less about this game.

[ElNono]

Kobe got cold and Pau never got really started... Plus LO injured... not a good night for the Lakers... that said, it's just one game...

[Lakers_55]

so, it looks like SpursDynasty's record of picking Laker results this season will be 6-27. It'll probably end up 18-64. Or blame the loss on me for suggesting this be the game thread.

[scanry]

Now you guys know why Duncan had a jab at Chris Paul.

He really is a punk.

[DazedAndConfused]

Exactly even though the Lakers lost I'm not at all worried about the Hornets.

[Reck]

I don't care about regular season games too much anymore. All I needed to see was that the Lakers could beat the Celtics. They proved they can do that.

Just stay healthy and get to the post season with the #1 seed.

LOL, Lakers beat then once this year and you're convinced they have everything on Boston. Chill out.

[DazedAndConfused]

LO would have made the difference tonight. Pau just couldn't defend West.

[turiaf for president]

yea west never plays this well against pau. the hornets brought it from the 1st minute. hats off to them

[peskypesky]

Exactly even though the Lakers lost I'm not at all worried about the Hornets.

Keep repeating that.

[Bartleby]

Now you guys know why Duncan had a jab at Chris Paul.

He really is a punk.

No kidding. Somebody needs to knock Paul on his ass.

[ElNono]

Now the Hornets need to lose to Utah tomorrow...

[peskypesky]

LOL, Lakers beat then once this year and you're convinced they have everything on Boston. Chill out.

:toast

[TheMACHINE]

oh noes! did Kobe shoot more then 20 times?!!?!

[TheMACHINE]

Exactly even though the Lakers lost I'm not at all worried about the Hornets.

[peskypesky]

LOL, Lakers beat then once this year and you're convinced they have everything on Boston. Chill out.

Remember that year when Cleveland beat San Antonio like 3 times in the regular season...and then got swept by SA in the Finals?

[ElNono]

LO would have made the difference tonight. Pau just couldn't defend West.

I doubt it. I think Pau was probably the best option. West just had a career game... happens to everybody. Plus Pau was sleepwalking tonight. Both on O and D.

[Reck]

SD, get ready to eat ur words. noob

Oops.

[Allanon]

Lakers need Lamar Odom....for Defense. Without Lamar, the Lakers again are soft on the inside.

[Reck]

Remember that year when Cleveland beat San Antonio like 3 times in the regular season...and then got swept by SA in the Finals?

Oh I believe I do my good sir. :lol

[YellowFever]

Ok Spurs fan..it's now safe for you guys to come out and talk shit....ooops..already happened..

[slowchild25]

Remember that year when Cleveland beat San Antonio like 3 times in the regular season...and then got swept by SA in the Finals?

Really? That's pretty fucking impressive considering Eastern Conference teams only play Western Conference teams twice in a season. ;)

[ElNono]

Ok Spurs fan..it's now safe for you guys to come out and talk shit....ooops..already happened..

You mean like the Lakers fans on the Spurs forum?

[YellowFever]

You mean like the Lakers fans on the Spurs forum?

No I meant this thread was void of Spurs fans at the start of the game and would've stayed that way if the Lakers won.

I think this thread picked up a Spurs fan and grew at a fast pace with about 3 minutes to go with the Lakers down by 10.

[Reck]

And who the hell is bashing on The Lakers? Other then SD I think every Spurs fan that posted here wanted Lakers to win.

GOOD POINT! Just like in 2000 when the Champion Spurs beat the Lakers 3 times in the regular season then lost to the Lakers in the playoffs.

[peskypesky]

And who the hell is bashing on The Lakers? Other then SD I think every Spurs fan that posted here wanted Lakers to win.

I never root for the Lakers. My emotions get the better of me.

[anakha]

Was rooting for the Hornets tonight, in spite of the impact on the division standings.

And it's not because I hate the Lakers or love the Hornets.

Simply put, any loss that puts the conference leaders closer to striking distance for the Spurs is good for me. Regardless of who the conference leaders are. :p:

[peskypesky]

GOOD POINT! Just like in 2000 when the Champion Spurs beat the Lakers 3 times in the regular season then lost to the Lakers in the playoffs.

Exactly. Which is why dumbass Lakers fans shouldn't convince themselves they own the Celtics because they beat them in a regular season game.

I'd probably worry more about winning the division before worrying about Conference.

I kinda feel the same way..because I know it's a serious long shot, but the Spurs could get the #1 seed. Not likely, but you never know. One injury can change everything.

[peskypesky]

I'd probably worry more about winning the division before worrying about Conference.

We want both.

[peskypesky]

Maybe the Lakers will start to collapse like the Celtics. Maybe?

No I meant this thread was void of Spurs fans at the start of the game and would've stayed that way if the Lakers won.

Actually a bunch of us were here when you guys were up in the 4th quarter... I really didn't care who won tonight... it was all positive for us...

[anakha]

I'd probably worry more about winning the division before worrying about Conference.

Division standings are more easily controlled by the Spurs, given their record.

[ElNono]

I'd probably worry more about winning the division before worrying about Conference.

If we win the Conference, we automatically win the Division...

[TheMACHINE]

Maybe the Lakers will start to collapse like the Celtics. Maybe?

I could understand if The Spurs were around 3 games back but 5 games, well that looks out of reach. Even more so when you take how the Spurs have been playing into considaration lately.

[anakha]

I could understand if The Spurs were around 3 games back but 5 games, well that looks out od reach. Even more so when you take how the Spurs have been playing into considaration lately.

Just a couple of weeks ago, people were thinking the Celtics were out of reach, record-wise.

Just saying.

[peskypesky]

I could understand if The Spurs were around 3 games back but 5 games, well that looks out od reach. Even more so when you take how the Spurs have been playing into considaration lately.

you mean the way they've won 8 of their last 9 games? yeah, that is bad.

[DazedAndConfused]

The Spurs have been BARELY beating average to garbage teams.

Once their schedule starts getting harder the losses will likely pile on.

[m33p0]

Laker fans, shall we use this thread as the game thread? I don't believe in SD jinxes.
no more SD lakers game threads?

[YellowFever]

Actually a bunch of us were here when you guys were up in the 4th quarter... I really didn't care who won tonight... it was all positive for us...

Nah, you and Shadow and a few other Spur fans are are pretty cool.

Bashing on the Lakes when they lose and offering props when they win.

that's cool.

iIm talking about guys like pesky who showed up here with about 3 or 4 minutes left to go in the game and now already has what? 10 posts?

:td The season is not even halfway over. That #1 seed is nowhere near locked up. Besides, as one pointed out, we've won 8 of our last 9. Taking our current winning ways into consideration should only make you more confident we can over take the #1 spot.

[ElNono]

The Spurs actually have the best record in the last month, winning 14 out of 17 games.
Yes, even better than the Lakers...

C'mom you gotta admit half of those wins weren't pretty ones.you don't get to the playoffs by being pretty. you also don't get to the playoffs by accumulating moral victories. it's all about the win, baby.

[Lakers_55]

no more SD lakers game threads?

I already took the blame on it. He can start them anytime, his record of picking our results is 6-26 and headed for about 18-64.

[peskypesky]

Nah, just going by the spurs record against .500+ teams:)

You do realize they were missing Ginobili and Parker for large chunks of the first part of the season, don't you? They have the Big 3 back together again and are doing well. 14-17.

man..some of the fouls puzzled me....anyone see that 3rd foul called on sasha against CP3...i just saw it again, and it was ridiculous.

hmmm... odds are still good. :toast

[Reck]

What I mean is, against scrub teams.

I would accept even a half a point win over a team that has a legit winning record but when The Spurs hang on to win by 2, 3 or 4 points over a weak ass team. That's what I dont get. Still a win is a win and I'll take it but shittttt.

Big 3 were there against bobcats:lol

[Lakers_55]

well, good game for the Hornets, thanks to all that shared their thoughts.

The Lakers can't claim the league's best record. Cleveland is also 27-6. Haha Lakers

CP3 gets a lot of phantom calls. He flops a lot too, then whines like a little bitch...
The problem is that Sasha also kept jawing, and with Crawford in the game, you need to be quiet...

[Reck]

This has been a good night discussing some Basketball with ya'll. Night all.

Nothing personal but FTL and FKB. Again nothing personal. Just posting the posts I'm supposed to post.

i can understand phantom calls when he is driving in, but that specific foul was wierd, he was backing sasha down from the 3 point line and Crawford whistled him. I was like...wtf...the slow mo didnt even show anything.

No trash talking here. Nothing to talk trash about. Lakers lost the game they were supposed to lose. Odom was supposed to get injured. Again, no trash talking here. Just the Hornets doing what they're supposed to do.

He was probably jawing at CP3. If you look earlier on the same play from a different camera angle, CP3 starts looking at Sasha in the eyes for a few secs. Either he was jawing at him, or he was banging him from behind...

[peskypesky]

Big 3 were there against bobcats:lol

You mean the Bobcats who just beat the Celtics?

yah...didnt notice how much of a bitch cp3 is till today. Anyways...its fun that way

[DrHouse]

The Lakers will walk, no shit all over the Hornets if they meet up in the playoffs.

This game proved nothing other than the Lakers were still in it despite LO going down, getting no production from Pau, and D. West and CP3 going apeshit from the field. It's going to take a Herculean effort from the Hornets to keep pace with LAL, which is why they are 1-2 in the series.

I would start looking at why Bynum is sucking it up royally lately before talking shit about a team that just beat you in your own house.

[Ghazi]

I agree with Dr House. When West outscores Pau by 30 points and CP3 has 32/15 and 0 TO the Hornets are a better team than the Lakers. But how often will that occur?

Then again the Lakers were inordinately hot from behind the arc. But that they were jacking up so many 3's shows that it was not their best basketball.

[Sissiborgo]

you were right they lost:fro i have to say the same shit to Boston they have been playing some lower teams like Bobcats as they LOST against and stuff like that...Looks like they got to be ready for some real teams th Celtics!:fro

[SmellyFeet]

You mean the Bobcats who just beat the Celtics?

Yeah, the same bobcats who are 13-22.

[IronMexican]

Damn, 10 pages. Oh well. Can't win them all.

[bostonguy]

One thing I have noticed at times with the Lakers, they just seem impatient on playing D. When they have patience and have their mindsets on getting stops, they are actually pretty solid.
