Lakers losing

[IronMexican]

80-73 in the third. This looked like a trap game, and it is.

[DeadlyDynasty]

This is Utah's title game (all starter's having great games)...whatever, not like anybody's gaining ground on us with this loss

[IronMexican]

Just frustrating that this team hasn't won 8 in a row. At least SD can make a thread.

[IronMexican]

Farmar!

[DrHouse]

Stop being a drama queen.

It's the Jazz. They don't play defense.

[IronMexican]

Drama queen? If this game stays close with time running down, there was bound to be multiple threads on this game.

[sook]

go lakers, they are a lock at the #1 seed and utah is closing in behind us

[Ghazi]

Utah is the 2nd best team in the West when healthy.

[HarlemHeat37]

Utah would be really good if they had some size/toughness up front..Millsap and Boozer are both undersized(Boozer's a bad defender too), while Okur is soft..

[Ghazi]

Jazz shooting shitty from FT line.

Utah would be good if they played defense and played well on the road. They're a 70 win home team but a 35 win road team. as a result they'll get 52-53 wins :P

(maybe not this year due to injuries)

[sook]

come on lakers..

[HarlemHeat37]

Utah is really giving this game away..

[HarlemHeat37]

wow, Utah just gave LA the lead..pathetic..bricking FT's, throwing the ball away, CJ Miles trying to be a hero..

[IronMexican]

Kobester

[sook]

haha!

[HarlemHeat37]

damn, Lakers D collapsed there..

[sook]

lakers poor defense..

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL Kyle Korver, what a pussy..

[sook]

holyshit Kobe

[HarlemHeat37]

Okur is so clutch..

[resistanze]

Let's go LA!

[Ghazi]

Best closer in the game my ass.

KoME the overhyped primadonna drama queen center killer adulterer 41% Finals shooter

[HarlemHeat37]

Okur With The Big Balls Dance..lol..

[DrHouse]

I didn't like how Kobe decided to take every single shot down the stretch. Phil should have put a stop to that, Gasol and Odom are much better options IMHO because Kobe has been cold this entire game.

Oh well, Lakers didn't deserve to win that game and they didn't. Utah is a tough out on the road, they played harder and won the game. Props to them.

[djohn2oo8]

Best closer in the game my ass.

KoME the overhyped primadonna drama queen center killer adulterer 41% Finals shooter

Kobe has 3 rings dumbass

[IronMexican]

Game.

[HarlemHeat37]

I'm surprised LA didn't go down low more often..Utah has no shot blocker..Okur is a decent man defender in the post, but nothing special..Gasol should have had more looks, and LA should have penetrated more..Kobe's too talented to settle..

[DAF86]

Kobe should stop doing that "big balls" dance every time he does that he gets burn.

[Ghazi]

Kobe has more rings than Mavericks

This thread isn't about the Mavericks, it's about Kobe being a drama queen adulterer primadonna center killer overhyped 40% Finals shooter.

[HarlemHeat37]

Okur's dance is the play of the year though..entertainment at it's finest..

[DrHouse]

I'm not sure why Kobe decided to go solo tonight. His shot was way off and he wasn't getting the calls. He had one big 3, but then he really screwed the pooch with turnovers and careless shots. Phil needs to reign this behavior in and start telling Kobe to run the fucking offense down the stretch.

[Banzai]

good game.

[Ghazi]

Who the fuck else is gonna shoot the ball when its money time?

Pau frickin Gasol?

Lamar Odom?

[Ghazi]

So now that the Spurs and Lakers lost tonight, I guess the Cavs and Celtics are the two best teams in basketball "right now" lol.

[DrHouse]

Tonight I can honestly say Kobe's solo play took the team out of the game.

Still, the Lakers are showing how tough they are even in their losses. I honestly can't remember the last time they were actually blown out by a team. Nearly every loss has come down to the wire.

[IronMexican]

This game is on Phil. What is this? Like the 4th 7 game winning streak? can't get 8 for some reason.

[turiaf for president]

Everytime Kobe does that big balls dance we lose. He took his team out of this game.

lol thats wut i was thinking.

tough loss but not the end of the road. 3 games in 4 nights after a 5 games in 7 nights is tough. but no excuses, the jazz played their guts out

[Indazone]

The secret to defeating the Lakers is the same as defeating the Celtics. They have a bunch of soft ass interior players. Body them up and play them physical. The Jazz proved that out tonight.

[IronMexican]

C'mon SD!

[turiaf for president]

C'mon SD!

popping my popcorn as we speak

[Ghazi]

Jazz didn't win this game cause they were more physical.

They won this game cause they hit more shots.

Didn't the Lakers win the points in paint battle

[TheNextGen]

Props to the Lakers. Those were some wierd ass fouls that were going against you guys.

[RedsLakers24]

Couldnt get a call tonight, but fuck it Deron is a beast

[Reck]

Somehow this doesn't make me feel any better about Lakers losing.

Spurs loss tonight is inexcusable even for a back to back game.

They are still 6 games behind the Lakers and cant seen to win b2b games.

[IronMexican]

You really didn't watch this game, huh? Utah won by penetrating and dishing out. Pau and Odom played well.

[turiaf for president]

Couldnt get a call tonight, but fuck it Deron is a beast

when its all said and done, CP3 might have better numbers but Deron will have the hardware

[Ghazi]

Those fucking Mormons get all the calls @ home.

Part of me thinks the jazz are a 35 win team if not for the whistles. After all, they play .350 basketball on the road :D

Good performance for the Lakers considering it was a back to back in Utah, which is murderous.

[DrHouse]

LOL you also need refs to swallow their whistles for the entire game, which is basically what they did tonight.

Utah gets away with a lot of shit on their homecourt, which is part of the reason why they have a great home record. I think some refs are fearful of Mormon retribution to be totally honest, you can literally hear the hatred and venom from the fans in most telecasts. I could swear I heard some guy saying "TRAITOR, YOUR DAUGHTER ISN'T SICK" in the background tonight.

[IronMexican]

Couldnt get a call tonight, but fuck it Deron is a beast

The crowd was into it, and it was in Utah. I wasn't expecting many calls to go LA's way. Still, no excuse for a team missing two starters.

[RedsLakers24]

i love derons game, i like him more than chris paul, cp3 needs the ball to be effective but not deron, he beats you different ways

[scanry]

You can't win em all. Was a good game though.

BTW why the fuck is Ghazi (aka SD wannabe) going nuts? :lol Kobe owned your asses even when he had Kwame as his side kick. Now that says it all...

[turiaf for president]

1st half the refs let them play. 2nd half the started calling fouls. but it was both ways, lakers just started the physical D 1st in the 2nd half. after that, the calls went both ways.

[cobbler]

So now that the Spurs and Lakers lost tonight, I guess the Cavs and Celtics are the two best teams in basketball "right now" lol.

Pretty sure the Lakers have the best record heading into the All Star game... but then again, why should you let facts enter into any of your retarded posts...

[Ghazi]

And the Spurs have the 5th best record in basketball.

But after the Boston game some got a hardon and thought Lakers and Spurs are 2 best teams in basketball.

They arent, Cavs nad Lakers are.

AND DA KING IS BRINGIN HOME DA HARDWARE

Stop being a wimp you faggot. :rolleyes

Atleast lose with grace like the other Lakers fans.

For once i agree with you. Those Jazz fans are crazy. They yell at every call...im sure that pressures the refs.

Im still trying to figure out who got fouled on the jazz when Williams dished it in for a and1 towards the end of the game.

[Ghazi]

Cause I can.

[TheNextGen]

1st half the refs let them play. 2nd half the started calling fouls. but it was both ways, lakers just started the physical D 1st in the 2nd half. after that, the calls went both ways.

there was one sequence where it went iffy. I remember kobe getting alot of contact on a lay up and when the jazz got it back, he barely bumped willams and he got whistled...the 3rd quarter definately didnt go both ways.

[Showtime24 LAKERS]

Lmao in a perfect basketball world the best team in the league plays defense every night.. give me a break!! why dont you go out and play like 5 games in a week and keep the defensive intensity at the same level... losses happen and blame what you want but the refs screwed us tonight!!

[turiaf for president]

maybe, but its not like the lakers lost the third quarter by a huge margin. i think it was just utah making shots that they usually dont make and D williams' penetration.

good note for lakers, jordan farmar looks real good. i always said if he got PT, hes a tony parker in the making

[TheNextGen]

btw...william carry's the ball in every possesion.

[hhml]

there was one sequence where it went iffy. I remember kobe getting alot of contact on a lay up and when the jazz got it back, he barely bumped willams and he got whistled...the 3rd quarter definately didnt go both ways.

Calls definitely went in favor towards the Jazz in the 2nd half. That DW foul right there along with the one where he dished to Millsap for a dunk and an and 1 near the end were obvious.

With that said, this loss goes on the Lakers for playing no defense at all. Kobe pretty much sealed our chances of winning by jacking up so many shots in the 4th when he wasn't on and was defended well. I didn't like how he kept shooting 3s after 3s. Lamar played very well again and had some huge defensive plays in the crucial minutes. Also hit clutch free throws as well.

[j.dizzle]

Who makes these schedules..they had a tough road trip & barely any rest. They played last night & got into utah at like 3am. Thats too much to ask these players to do. I understand theres the all-star break but the NBA has to chill on the back-2-backs. NFL has it good haha..16 games & some players are still making 10 mil a season haha

[hhml]

Oh yeah, Kobe should stop doing that dumbass dance. It looks flat out retarded and nothing good can come of it :ihit

yea but we had an easy schedule to begin the year with. it all ends up evening out.

its ok ill take 9 out of 10 wins anytime

[DrHouse]

Utah is always a tough out on the road, regardless of a back to back or not.

The Lakers were in this game till the bloody end, which IMHO is a great sign. When was the last time the Lakers actually got blown out of a game?

[j.dizzle]

lakers just cant get more then 7 wins in a row haha..I had a feeling we would lose tonight cuz its pretty hard to win in Utah. Im just happy that odom has stepped up but i guarantee you that if bynum was playing we would of won. Deron in a beast but i doubt he would be driving in as much if big bynum was chillin in the paint :nope mutombooooo style haha

[iggypop123]

BTW why the fuck is Ghazi (aka SD wannabe) going nuts? :lol Our Beloved Kobe owned your asses even when he had Kwame as his side kick. Now that says it all...

8th game in 13 nights. kobe had dead legs
*fixed

Yes

They showed a stat earlier tonight, the Lakers have lost 4 of their 9 games by 3 or less.

Tonight they lost by 4? So its 5 of 10 by 4 or less.
The only time they've been "blown out" this year is v the Queens, maybe you can consider the Detroit game a convincing loss as well.

This is why margin of victory is a stat never to be underrated. The less you get blown out and the more you blow teams out, the better you are.

that's why I can't take our beloved Mavs seriously, 7 losses by 19+ points + a bunch of nailbiters v garbage teams.

That's why the Spurs aren't contenders, their margin of victory is only 3, they have a bunch of fluke bullshit wins on fluke Mason shots, and they just lost to the Boshless fucking Raptors.

Ghazi is right!!!





for once.

[RedsLakers24]

No one on the lakers had energy, except odom, odom was the only good player for the lakers, kobe looked tired and shot the ball 33 times and only made 14, it was a back to back game in Utah so i am not to worry, i remeber last year Utah was missing Williams, Bozer and Okur and they killed us, then when they were healthy we killed them

[TheMACHINE]

yah...8 different cities in 14 days with a back to back finally caught up with them

[ElNono]
