congrats Lakers

[Pelicans78]

You survived the Sean Marks experience.

[Ghazi]

+ fluke Hornets shots, BS calls, a poor shooting night, and Rasual Butler, Hilton Armstrong, and Sean Marks not being scrubs(which they are, thus its an anomaly that they actually had good games)., and Phil Jackson treating it like a regular season game while Hornets went all out to make a statement.

phil jackson was taking a lil nap there.

[DeadlyDynasty]

yeah, I think Phillip cashed out early tonight...can't be doing that against good WC teams

When you have a 7.5 game cushion on the 2nd place team, you actually can.

BOTH Kobe and Phil almost pissed this one away ...Fish saved both their asses ...Kobe closed the game out ...
Phil bad adjustments horrible use of Time outs ...
Kobe taking the Posey matchup personal going 1 on1 instead or screen n roll

Don't congratulate those twits. Beat them.

[Ghazi]

They "almost pissed it away" because they know they're the best team in the WEst. they don't have to prove it, they already have by having such a large cushion and did last year in the playoffs.

But the Hornets on the other hand, like the other WEst teams, treat every game against the Lakers as a playoff game/statement game, which is why West/Paul played the entire 2nd half. So, regular season intensity for Lakers, playoff intensity for Hornets, and Lakers still won. No worries.

It's a luxury of being 44-10 while the rest of the West struggles to win 40 before 20.

You predicted a easy win for the Lakers tonight. All day you were saying we had no chance. You were clearly wrong as usual. All you do is make excuses. Troll.

It was an easy win, and the Hornets had no chance. They just teased your fanbase into thinking they did, just as they did when they were up 2-0 v the Spurs last year. But all along, they had no chance. :toast

You predicted a double-digit victory so you were wrong.

[BlackSwordsMan]
