Cavs v Lakers

[Dim Tuncan]

ariza > lebron

[KidCongo]

Ariza can't shoot.

[Shang Tsung]

im getting that ariza boner too :D

[Dim Tuncan]

hickson > kobe

[KidCongo]

It's depressing when they score like 10 points in 1:30 late in the 4th. They're all a product of Kobe.

[ManuTP9]

im getting that ariza boner too :D

:lmao

[DPG21920]

The Lakers did exactly what they were supposed to. Feed the bigs early and often.

Uh huh. Like I said, this game wasn't that big a deal to begin with. I am looking forward to Sunday though.

I don't think that would be as hard as a raping the lakers gave the cavs tonight though

[IronMexican]

Nah, I am probably staying home and fapping.

[DPG21920]

If Wally and Sasha have trade value, then so does Bonner, Vaughn, Udoka, Oberto...

[ManuTP9]

good win

[Kobe™]

Yezzir!

[TheMACHINE]

the cavs fell for the Kobe high trap bait! buhahah. ok doesnt work all the time, but it worked tonight lol

[IronMexican]

Nah, I am probably staying home and fapping.

To my Ariza pictures, of course.

[Spur-Addict]

There's nothing bad about this Cleveland loss to be honest. Missing two major players against a top team isn't going to get it done especially on the road. Lebron was simply doubled and abused all game because others couldn't create or finish. Lebron still owns Kobe. LBJ 7, Kobe 4. This game wasn't that exciting though, although Kobe hit some tough shots that were impressive. Nice snatch by LBJ on the Kobe drive, and that dunk on Lame-ar.

[TheMACHINE]

Wtf??? I step away when the lakers look to be in control to make a quesadilla and take a dump, I come back and now its only a 7 point game.

then i took a dump and they are back up by 17 lol

I'm going to bed, fuck those asshole who invented the pacific time zone, I hope them, pavlovic, kellen winslow, pau gasol, rondo and bynum all get in a bus tonight and dennis hopper blows it up and they all die painful deaths

Wally has an expiring to the tune of 13mil. Something the spurs don't have.

cept wally has a 13 million dollar contract that expires this year

doh. beat me to it

[IronMexican]

What made you guys think this game would be exciting? Unlesd it turned into the Kobe-Bron show, it was going to be boring. The Cavs have a great team, but apart from LBJ, a boring one.

[ElNono]

I hate Sunday early games. Cuts my day in two.

[Thunder Dan]

I don't know that ain't my job, wrong dan.


I'd send him on a boat and blow it up

Usually close games are exciting. Except Gasol, Fisher with that jumper outta the time-out, Ariza had to ruin it.

Kobe won't be playing gutair hero in his undies with his boyfriends tonight...he will have to stick to the skin flute

[IronMexican]

Anyways, does anyone else think that girl from The Invited is real cute

I don't know, lets say two of the top teams in the league right now squaring off. Or it could possibly be the fact that the two best perimeter players in the game were being showcased here tonight. Or maybe it could be the fact that Lebron dropped Forty one on those fools the last time they met I believe. Or the fact that LBJ is up in the head to head match up category. It could be any one of those or a combination of those, or some unannounced additives that I missed.

[scanry]

LA had too much fire power. They just kept trapping LBJ and the Cavs scrubs pretty much either bricked a shot or turned over the ball.

LA had size, skill and depth, and that killed Cleveland. Kobe had a great game considering his injury.

I hate to say this, but LBJ was mugged all game. But that didn't matter too much as Kobe was equally mugged on the other end.:lol

Bynum & Pavlovic are punks for taking cheap shots at players heads.:rolleyes

LBJ up in the head to head makes it exciting?

[TheMACHINE]

did Bynum even touch Lebrons head?

[Spur-Addict]

LBJ up in the head to head makes it exciting?

Yes, yes it does. It makes it exciting for me at least, take that however you want to. It's extra exciting when he drops big numbers in the match ups. :D

[cobbler]

did Bynum even touch Lebrons head?

Nope. Watched in in slo mo many times. He went for the ball with his left hand and his arm hit LBJ in the chest. LBJ threw his head back to accentuate the foul and Doug Collins in all his BS wonder says Bynum went for the chin. He never touched any part of LBJ's face or head.

[KidCongo]

did Bynum even touch Lebrons head?

There was another play in the first half where Bynum hit LB in the head.

[JoeTait75]

Well, the LakeShow proved they can beat the Cavaliers when they're missing two starters and L.A. is given free reign to anally rape LeBron every time he comes within ten feet of the basket.

No disrespect intended to the LakeShow, BTW. Cavs were shorthanded and the officiating was slanted, though.

please.... lebron had contact in the paint but so did kobe. infact cleveland shot 19 free throws to lakers 15.

no worries. It was a close game...im sure u lost to other teams by a bigger margin.

oh wait.....

[JoeTait75]

Kobe got three or four touch fouls on jump shots. LeBron was getting hammered without a whistle.

Just take the home cooking. We get it too. It's all good.

No disrespect to the Cav's but the Lakers were also shorthanded and the fouls favored the Cavs 17-14 and they went to the line more too.

[Allanon]

I didn't really expect the Cavaliers to win tonight. Even though the Lakers still have 1 starter and backup PG out, their depth is still too much for the Cavs. It showed when the bench came in and pumped up the lead. You can tell LeBron was tired in the 4th when he was missing his shots.

LeBron needs one more star on his team that can take over for him in the 4th ala Shaq/Kobe. That 4th quarter beating was a bit embarrassing.

[TheMACHINE]

he'll have Wade with him in NY in 2010

[JoeTait75]

Two starters >>>>>>>> Backup point guard.

LakeShow was the better, healthier team tonight. They had a huge advantage in the frontcourt and they exploited it, to their credit. The statistics don't explain the officiating disparity, but I won't belabor it any more. LA was better tonight, period. See you in Cleveland on Feb. 8.

[Allanon]

It's close. Lakers also had 1 starter out.

2 starters > 1 starter, 1 backup PG.

Teams tend to underperform when they're missing 40 percent of their starting lineup.

The offense runs much better when Walton's in. He's actually playing well this year.

I don't remember exactly but I don't think the Lakers have lost with Walton as the starting SF yet.

Although, sometimes the depleted team is even more dangerous and over performs. Luckily today wasn't one of those times.

Lakerfans ridicule this guy nonstop until it fits their argument.

Never thought I'd see a LakeShow fan so happy about beating the Cavaliers by 17 points. :lol

I could careless. I still prefer Walton sitting on the bench. Only in LA under Phil Jackson would this scrub get playing time.

[Allanon]

lmao, what a cheesedick.

Not me, dickface. I think Luke does a vital job in the Laker offense. He and Lamar Odom are the two best passers and initiators in the triangle offense.

Philip thinks so too, that's why Luke is a starter.

[Allanon]

Only in LA under Phil Jackson would this scrub get playing time.

Absolutely.

But he fits the triangle like a glove, if not for the triangle, he's pretty useless.

[TheMACHINE]

No, it's more like, Vlade was so pathetic that Phil had no choice but to use Walton. Walton = no shot, no defense, no nothing. His passing is vastly overated. The ball isn't even in his hands much. He's a scrub.

[TheMACHINE]

Yo kno what JoeTait...ur right...you guys would have played better with your starters in full health. Lakers win 105-95. Happy?

[dirk4mvp]

Him and Lamar Odumb are the two worst players who get consistent minutes on the Lakers.

lmao, dickface.

[LA24]

Absolutely.

Ok, I'll give you that. He's fortunate that he knows the triangle well. Because we all know Phil cherishes his lil tri.

[KidCongo]

The Lakers were too tall. Having a healthy Z would change that alot.

[JoeTait75]

Yo kno what JoeTait...ur right...you guys would have played better with your starters in full health. Lakers win 105-95. Happy?

105-99.

Hold on. Our interior D would have been better with Z out there. How about 95-89?

"It was a huge deal," Gasol said. "We didn't want to come out of this game with another loss on our home court. It was important for us to bounce back tonight. This is a significant victory for us. The defensive effort was outstanding."

[mystargtr34]

Why is it so hard for Lakers fans to admit the Cavs were missing alot more than they were.

Z is a 15-8 Center. Probably the second best C in the East. Delonte has proven to be a pretty crucial part to what they do. You cant argue that Jordan Farmer, a 15 MPG guy and Luke Walton, who has started less than a quarter of the games because the guy ahead of him sux, equate to or are even close to those two guys.

Im not saying the Cavs win in LA with a full strength team, but you simply cant argue against the fact the Cavs were missing their 3rd and 4th best player, while the Lakers were missing there 7th and 8th best players, and that it didnt effect the outcome of the game.

Probably for the same reason that when Laker fans last year said it would have been a different finals if we had Bynum and Ariza all the Celtic, Spurs, and other Laker hating fans cried "excuses excuses".

I agree the absence of Z was a larger loss. But don't discredit the loss of Walton so easily either. Maybe hes not a superstar, but the loss of him means we have to start spaceballs which is a double whammy. And not having Farmar hurts not so much cause Farmar is good but cause it makes Fish have to play too many minutes.

We can go back and forth on every game where players are out... doesn't matter. It didn't last year because regardless, the celts have the trophy just as the Lakers have the win last night. All else is conjecture.

Time to move on....

Im puzzled as to how Walton gets minutes. Rad is a dead-eye shooter and spaces the floor well for Kobe. Im not sure what Luke does, hes a good passer but given that theres Kobe and Pau and sometimes Odom on the floor, all excellent passers - i dont see the need for him at anytime.

Maybe i dont watch enough Laker games.

Walton gets the team playing the triangle. While Rad may spread the floor, he also is the weakest link on defense and starts a snowball effect of switches because he either lost sight of his man or simply decided to triple team the opposing PG. The wholr Rad spreading the floor concept is a tad weak in my opinion too because Fish isnt really a penetrating PG. Fish hangs at the 3 pt line enough to spread the D and Gasol is also adept enough at the midrange to bring his defender out. No Laker fan will tell you Walton is a great player. He just knows the offense and gets the team involved. Rad is purely one deminsional.... and a bonifide idiot.

Without Walton, there are too many shooters and not enough playmakers.

Kobe, Pau, Bynum, Rad, Fish...every single one of them wants to shoot. It's a bad combination from what I've seen. Either Luke or Odom have to start with that 4 or else the offense stagnates, too much dribbling not enough touches, etc.

His 2 threes did give the Lakers momentum. Can Walton hit that 3 ball?

[cobbler]

His 2 threes did give the Lakers momentum. Can Walton hit that 3 ball?

Yes. Two years ago prior to his injury he was amoungst the league leaders but Rad is the better 3pt shooter no doubt. Again, Rad may get 2-4 3's in a game but his defensive liabilities diminish his worthiness. Especially against 3pt shooting teams because he tends to wander and leave the line wide open.
