Rockets vs. Lakers Game Day Thread (3/11/09)

[GuerillaBlack]

The only thread really sucks. All that "Communism vs. Democracy" bullshit. Start fresh.

[IronMexican]

Very true. Go Lakers.

[Many PackYao]

Rockets 102-96

[Thunder Dan]

the other thread is legend that's why it's 7 pages....Kori we are going to need to close this one up

[RedsLakers24]

Rockets kill the Lakers by 30, Ariza commits another hard foul, spurs fan come in and say how they want to hang him and call him dirty and there are 30 threads on Ariza

[GuerillaBlack]

the other thread is legend that's why it's 7 pages....Kori we are going to need to close this one up

Seven pages of BS. We'll be to page 10 or higher before the game starts and there isn't even any game talk in your thread.

I see the Rockets possibly squeaking by in this one. 103-97.

[Red Hawk #21]

Yo Rox fans, if your team wants to have a shot at winning this game they better try to blow the Lakers out. If its a close game you can count on BS calls in the Lakers favor in the 4th. That is all.

[Many PackYao]

Seven pages of BS. We'll be to page 10 or higher before the game starts and there isn't even any game talk in your thread.

I like your score!:p:

you had to start another thread because you are a ashamed Rocket fan that can't handle the truth

120-88 Lakers, and the Rockets fans will bitch about losing because they didn't get any calls

Please Dan let go of the anger and try to stick to this game. We whipped you guys asses last week. :king

[GuerillaBlack]

Lakers dont get up for scrub teams.

As we see by their losses in Portland, as well an Phoenix last week.

[The Franchise]

Lakers dont get up for scrub teams. Rockets will play and act like this is a title game.

Making excuses already?

[Thunder Dan]

Lakers dont get up for scrub teams. Rockets will play and act like this is a title game.

this statement is correct. The Rockets give it their all in March, and golf in May and their fans make excuses along the way (check the rhyme)

[sook]

this statement is correct. The Rockets give it their all in March, and golf in May and their fans make excuses along the way (check the rhyme)

we aren't fortunate enough to play the washington wizard's in the first round every year

[DPG21920]

Lets go Lake Show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[Thunder Dan]

I'm happy they are putting the Knicks/Pistons game on tonight because the Lakers killing the Rockets would be ratings suicide

[sook]

I'm happy they are putting the Knicks/Pistons game on tonight because the Lakers killing the Rockets would be ratings suicide

Yea i totally agree, they should have thought twice before doing that with cleveland, had they done that people would never have seen how much lebron sucks against non leastern conference teams

[SpursDynasty]

Although the Rockets will not win this game, a Lakers loss tonight coupled with a Lakers loss tomorrow night puts the Spurs back in the race for the #1 seed.

[Indazone]

Spursdynasty is right. I see two "L's" for the Lakers between the Rockets and the Spurs :lol

[IronMexican]

The Spurs are gonna make up a 5 game deficit(Assuming they lose both games) with 17 to go? Riiight.

[GuerillaBlack]

a Lakers loss tonight coupled with a Lakers loss tomorrow night puts the Spurs back in the race for the #1 seed.

Agreed. Lakers lose next two (including tonight).

[DaDakota]

Rockets win going away.....112 -97.

DD

[DrHouse]

The Spurs don't exactly have a cakewalk schedule the rest of the way. I can count at least 11 potential losses in their remaining schedule.

Even if LAL comes up empty handed throughout this road trip it's going to be hard for anyone in the WC to catchup.

[robbie380]

i just realized this will be the first game that kobe gets to face battier and artest fully healthy.

so here is a question for you guys...

will kobe have more points than shot attempts tonight? i say no.

[IronMexican]

Over/under: Half the people in the Toyota Center being obese? I have the over.

[GuerillaBlack]

lulz.

By average BMI, Houston is the third skinniest city in America. I'll take that over how many fast food restaurants and gyms there are per square mile (where the fattest city came from). :toast

[Morg1411]

Rockets kill the Lakers by 30, Ariza commits another hard foul, spurs fan come in and say how they want to hang him and call him dirty and there are 30 threads on Ariza

:lmao

Spurs fan though I am, I find myself strangely drawn to this prediction.

[TheMACHINE]

Sun Yue and picks a fight with Artest. He gets ejected and Morrison goes nutz on the post against Yao. Lakers by 22.

[Thunder Dan]

Over/under: Half the people in the Toyota Center being obese? I have the over.

how many Rockets fan will show up before halftime?

[robbie380]

how many Rockets fan will show up before halftime?

fans? or businessmen quietly doing business who tell people to be quiet and to sit down?

[sook]

fans? or businessmen quietly doing business who tell people to be quiet and to sit down?

ROFL. Is that quite common? I was in section 117 during the suns vs rockets game and some douchebag who was on his blackberry the whole time told me to sit down and stop screaming. Can't disagree with the site bitch on this one, he is right, the lower bowl fans show up like 10 minutes late every game

[GuerillaBlack]

Show up 10 minutes late and leave 10 minutes early. The upper bowl is where the REAL fans are at.

[IronMexican]

It's like that in every teams stadium. Probably more so in LA since it's a pretty big business market.

[The Franchise]

[sook]

Did you comply or did you tell him to go fuck himself?

He was with this girl friend so all i said was, "Show some life."

[SpursDynasty]

Sorry, but the Rockets are going to lose this game.

[Ghazi]

Rockets win.

Kobe scores 35 points but on 30 shots.

[NBAdime]

No disrespect to the rockets...I just cannot see Lakers let themselves lose again, and I can't see rockets being a threat.

[The Franchise]

He was with this girl friend so all i said was, "Show some life." Respect. :toast

[Roxsfan]

we aren't fortunate enough to play the washington wizard's in the first round every year

Wow, you just shot a load up his pussy. You owned with that.

[The Franchise]

No disrespect to the rockets...I just cannot see Lakers let themselves lose again, and I can't see rockets being a threat.

Stevie?

[robbie380]

Sorry, but the Rockets are going to lose this game.

do you think the rockets will win tonight?

[The Franchise]

It's on baby!!!

[NBAdime]

Good luck Rockets! I'm a fan of any team going up against the lakers.

[DrHouse]

:lmao at HOU announcers that think this is some sort of statement game.

[The Franchise]

Rockets are done. No streak lasts against the Lakers. And Drexler is a fucking stiff.

We are going to make Kobe our bitch tonight.

[sook]

:lmao at HOU announcers that think this is some sort of statement game.

They actually talk like that every game.

Clyde sounds like he is plain dumb but he makes me laugh on occasion

[sook]

wow offensive foul on lowry??!?!? Only when playing the lakers fellas..only then.

[Banzai]

good game so far.

[The Franchise]

wow offensive foul on lowry??!?!? Only when playing the lakers fellas..only then.

That block on battier also.

[Banzai]

woops.

[Unholy Turkey]

I like that Josh Powell guy. He reminds me of Landry.

[sook]

i don't really care about the charge but that was blatant right there. O well lakers bench is insanely good going to be tough

[dallaskd]

I like that Josh Powell guy. He reminds me of Landry.

I loved Powell when he was on the Mavs. I met him and he's a really nice guy too.

[DrHouse]

The Lakers are in a pretty huge slump as of late.

This is somewhat alarming this late in the game and should it continue post this mini road trip there is definite cause for concern.

[sook]

The Lakers are in a pretty huge slump as of late.

This is somewhat alarming this late in the game and should it continue post this mini road trip there is definite cause for concern.

no offense but they are next to clueless in transition defense

[sook]

Holy fuck shit wtf was that


he misses the wide open dunk and they give him a foul

lol this is bullshit!!!! WTF KOBE SPECIAL TREATMENT

[The Franchise]

Clyde: In my day that wouldn't have been a foul.

[sook]

seriously what was that ? He missed both FTS but why should he get that foul?

[NBAdime]

Your going to go Colorado on Kobe's ass.
:lol

[Capt Bringdown]

Nice gameplan from the Rockets. I like the way they're beating the Lakers perimeter D with cuts and passes. And their guards have the green light to run. Wish the Spurs did more of this.

[sook]

inhuman pass by lowry wow...

[DrHouse]

The biggest issue is actually the offense, not the defense.

The Lakers simply aren't scoring anymore. They've been sub 100 in a lot of their road losses. That is unacceptable because the Lakers aren't the kind of team that will win a lot of games relying on their defense with Andrew Bynum out.

[IronMexican]

I finish reading a letter from my brother and see LA down 8. Gay.

[NBAdime]

I'd love to know why Andrew Bynum is getting Kevin Garnett status...he really has not proven himself to be that important.

[sook]

LOL at Kobe he just bitch slapped wafer! :lmao

Funny though, that was actually a foul on that 3

[Banzai]

down but not out yet..

[The Franchise]

Halftime 51-40 Rockets

[The Franchise]

The biggest issue is actually the offense, not the defense.

Tonight that has a lot to do with the Rocket defense.

[Brazil]

Go lakers !!!

[Capt Bringdown]

Cuz it works so well for Houston and their first round exit every year

Cuz 4-down and small ball works so well for the Spurs and their 1-4 record against PJ and Kobe.

[djohn2oo8]

Tomorrow will be the Lakers first 3 game losing streak this year

Hopefully so

[sook]

Yeah but to Laker fans it's never how good the other team is playing, it's them not playing like they should. HAHA. Excuses, excuses.

Yea i know, with the exception of Celtics and Spurs, i don't know where you see defense like that

[djohn2oo8]

let's hope kobe doesn't go off for 40 in the second half

[Banzai]

oh well...another half..hopefully the Lakers come out focused..but I'm probably asking too much lol..

[DrHouse]

Tonight that has a lot to do with the Rocket defense.

It really doesn't.

Their offense has been sputtering for some time now.

[NBAdime]

Here's praying Kobe does his ball-hogging in the 4th...if he does, rockets fans. You can rest assured that you will have a WIN.

[sook]

It really doesn't.

Their offense has been sputtering for some time now.

We took out Shane, it doesn't help to be playing 4 on 5 on offense.

And lowry + Landry are our Ariza + Sasha

These guys got us the W in Denver when we were down like earlier

[The Franchise]

It really doesn't.

Their offense has been sputtering for some time now.

meh, maybe you're right. Seems like a lot of teams offense has been sputtering against us though.

[sook]

It also doesn't help the lakers that


Landry + Scola + Yao are 14/14 from the field :lol

[sook]

meh, maybe you're right. Seems like a lot of teams offense has been sputtering against us though.

LOL that lineup in your sig is my fav, thats our butraping lineup :toast:toast

[robbie380]

let's hope kobe doesn't go off for 40 in the second half

40 shots?:lol

[The Franchise]

LOL that lineup in your sig is my fav, thats our butraping lineup :toast:toast

Yeah, had to update it after the trade.

[DrHouse]

:lmao Rockets. If you blow this one I don't know what to say.

No Odom, no Bynum. Lakers playing the worst basketball of the season. This game is a gimmie.

[The Franchise]

Yao is acting scared again. Come on Yao don't be a 7'6 coward, man up.

[The Franchise]

:lmao Rockets. If you blow this one I don't know what to say.

No Odom, no Bynum. Lakers playing the worst basketball of the season. This game is a gimmie.

Make a five point run and guess who comes back to life. :lol

[NBAdime]

FYI pistons vs knicks game is insanely exciting.

[MarHill]

Yea i know, with the exception of Celtics and Spurs, i don't know where you see defense like that

I've always believed that Houston has had a championship level defense for the past 3-4 years.

It's just their injuries and either Yao or T-Mac not being clutch offensively in the playoffs that has kept them from going past the 1st round.

Maybe it will change this year...with no T-Mac!

[sook]

:lmao Rockets. If you blow this one I don't know what to say.

No Odom, no Bynum. Lakers playing the worst basketball of the season. This game is a gimmie.

Why must you keep making lame excuses liek that? The rockets are missing a healthy mcgrady who actually helps this team. He has only taken them to 55 wins by huimself last season. And the lakers are getting a lot of calls in their favor

[MarHill]

Game tied at 60-60 in the 3rd.

[NBAdime]

Horry just did not want to say he wants Spurs to win.

[The Franchise]

Get Yao out right now he doesn't want to play tonight.

[Fabbs]

Rocket fans i just tuned in.
How did the Flamers come back from 10 down at the half.

The real version please, not the Lamer one.

[MarHill]

Lakers took the lead 65-64 on a Kobe 3.

[NBAdime]

So when the Lakers play the clippers do the clippers fans chant "Beat L.A"

[MarHill]

Rockets lead 70-67 at the end of 3. Lakers won the quarter 27-19 and got themselves back in the game.

It is anybody's ball game now going into the 4th.

[The Franchise]

Rocket fans i just tuned in.
How did the Flamers come back from 10 down at the half.

The real version please, not the Lamer one.

We came out and played out of sync. Yao is also playing VVVVEERRRRYYY soft as well.

[Brazil]

How a 7'6 guy has only 5 reb after 3 Q and 6'9 guy has 7 ??

[Brazil]

We came out and played out of sync. Yao is also playing VVVVEERRRRYYY soft as well.

Gasol is also playing very soft

[MarHill]

Lakers lead 73-72 with 8:44 left. Josh Powell has 14 and 8!! Yikes!!

[sook]

Artest chooses the worst time to not shoot the lights out. Battier sucks too righ tnow

[scanry]

Yao Ming as your Franchise will take you nowhere...

Mofo can't jump an inch off the floor.:wow

[21_Blessings]

Wow, Houston is a joke of a basketball team. How do you get played by a Farmar/Sasha/Walton/Powell/Gasol lineup in the 4th.

[scanry]

Wow, Houston is a joke of a basketball team. How do you get played by a Farmar/Sasha/Walton/Powell/Gasol lineup in the 4th.

Exactly, Yao lost the game for them. Too many turnovers. The dude has 0 BB IQ.

[Spursmania]

Wow, Houston is a joke of a basketball team. How do you get played by a Farmar/Sasha/Walton/Powell/Gasol lineup in the 4th.
same way your team got played by the suns without nash and amare.

[Xylus]

same way your team got played by the suns without nash and amare.

Ouch.

[21_Blessings]

same way your team got played by the suns without nash and amare.

Hows that 2 seed working out for ya?

[The Franchise]

We have 20 turnovers already? :wow

[Xylus]

Hows that 2 seed working out for ya?

Typical troll response. Someone makes a legitimate point to counter your argument and you say something completely unrelated so you don't look like a complete douchebag.

*Commencing attack on the Phoenix Suns in 5....4.....3....

[Pelicans78]

Artest would make Kobe his little bitch after all the roids he's been using.

[Brazil]

Go Lakers !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spursmania]

Hows that 2 seed working out for ya?

I don't know yet as you know the playoffs haven't started yet or did you presume the Larry was given for the winner of regular season games?

[21_Blessings]

Typical troll response. Someone makes a legitimate point to counter your argument and you say something completely unrelated so you don't look like a complete douchebag.

*Commencing attack on the Phoenix Suns in 5....4.....3....

No one cares about the Suns. Stop screaming for attention.

[sook]

WOW we are playing soooo bad!!!

Why the fuck did Kobe elbow artest? And Artest didn't even do anything back so how is it a double T?

[Xylus]

Whether the Rockets win this game or not, they've really impressed me this year. They're forcing me to eat crow after I've said all year they were going to miss the playoffs.

[MarHill]

Game tied at 76-76! Wafer just hit a 3. 6:10 left in the 4th.

[Showtime24 LAKERS]

kobe would knock him the fuck outtt..lol

[The Franchise]

Artest would make Kobe his little bitch after all the roids he's been using.

His tattletale ass was beat up by Chris Childs so I would suggest he calm himself before he gets hurt badly.

[Showtime24 LAKERS]

landry looks like artest disciple

[Xylus]

No one cares about the Suns. Stop screaming for attention.

You're so reliable.

[Spursmania]

I haven't seen Houston play much either. I guess I've been missing out.

[urunobili]

Kobe will be suspended for the punches he threw to Artest

[Showtime24 LAKERS]

lol how did that turn into a basket...

[sook]

uhh Rockets lost i'm leaving they are playing dumb and not running the offense

[The Franchise]

Ron artest is singlehandedly losing this game for us. When his dumb ass is amped up don't give him the ball.

[Banzai]

damn

[TampaDude]

Just for tonight...GO LAKERS!!!

[DAF86]

I told you Artest is an average player on offense and an awfull ballhandler.

[MarHill]

Lakers lead 85-80 with 3:16 left. Kobe just hit another 3!!

[sook]

Ron artest is singlehandedly losing this game for us.

Kobe is in his head

But you can't blame it all on him Yao freaking sucks

[21_Blessings]

Houston status: Garbage

[Showtime24 LAKERS]

big balls dance kobee!!

[DAF86]

Kobe is in his head

But you can't blame it all on him Yao freaking sucks

Without Artest's bullshit Houston wins this game.

[Thompson]

Wow. Artest playing pretty good defense on Kobe above the 3, Kobe loses the ball off his foot, but takes his time going after it as it rolls toward halfcourt, seeing Artest begin to gun for it out of the corner of his eye. Then Bryant quickly snatches the ball, turns to have Artest barrel past him, and fires an uncontested 3 and nails it.

I think the initial dribble off his foot was an accident, but I'm beginning to wonder... :lol

[TampaDude]

Nice of the refs to call that foul on Fish.

Signed,

Brent Barry

[The Franchise]

Yao is a bitch.

[DAF86]

Brooks should be the go to guy for the Rockets from now on.

[Fabbs]

Which freakin tv network has this on?

[Xylus]

Ouch. Kobe with a dagger.

[MarHill]

Lakers lead 92-86 with 1:03 left. Kobe has started to take over the ball game.

[Pelicans78]

Yao came up short. This sucks!!!

[Showtime24 LAKERS]

Kobe with some mad Clutch baskets!!!! Thank you artest for pissing off kobe!!!! :lmao

[Brazil]

Go Lakers ! Where is Dr House ? For once spurs fan are all for the lakers !

Kobe is damn good but he is such an arrogant incredible !

[Pelicans78]

Wafer had an open three but made a more difficult two.

Damn, Kobe again :(

[Showtime24 LAKERS]

Artest & Battier on kobe??? NO PROBLEM!!! lol in yo face!!!

[portpower_11]

Kobe is taking over the game at the right time.

As a Chinese fan, I have to say Yao is very soft, :lol

[Pelicans78]

Crap, Artest's foot on the line.

[21_Blessings]

Kobes in Colorado mode

[Brazil]

Game over

[TampaDude]

Which freakin tv network has this on?

You've got mail.

[Pelicans78]

This blows. I'm glad my brothers didn't get tickets for this game.

[portpower_11]

Artest has try 9 times, finally made one

[MarHill]

95-88 with .55 left. Kobe with the 3 point play and 32 points for the game.

[DrHouse]

Nice to see the Lakers show some fight in the 2nd half. It was sure looking like it was gonna be another POR style beatdown.

Kobe was brilliant in the 4th. Just took over the game. Surprising to see considering the Rockets have two of the best perimeter defenders in the league in Artest and Battier.

Rocket fan why did Yao sit for so long in the 4th?

[Brazil]

Nice night for the spurs : Utah and Rocket Loss

[sook]

Kobe Bryant is just too much

That is the problem, vs cleveland we shut down lebron but Kobe just has so many moves and he doesn't suck like that shithead

[portpower_11]

oh, it was counted as a 2 pt, He still 0% for 3pt shooting

[sook]

Nice to see the Lakers show some fight in the 2nd half. It was sure looking like it was gonna be another POR style beatdown.

Rocket fan why did Yao sit for so long in the 4th?

he was sucking

[scanry]

The Lakers should thank Yao for the W.

Goodness gracious, Yao fucking sucks. Dude can't handle the ball, can't post up, can't jump an inch off the floor, and more importantly is the definition of unclutch.

Houston better start rebuilding around Aaron Brooks...:lol

[Brazil]

Dr are you happy to see so spurs fans rooting for the lakers ?

[MarHill]

Lakers lead 99-92 with 18 sec left. Ball game for the Lakers!!

[Mugen]

haha omg i would love to see kobe fight artest.

[Brazil]

game is over

[TampaDude]

Nice night for the spurs : Utah and Rocket Loss

+1

Thanks, Hawks!

Thanks, Lakers!

[DrHouse]

I really don't care who the Spurs root for. You showed how pathetic you were when you rooted for BOS in the Finals.

[portpower_11]

Nice night for the spurs : Utah and Rocket Loss

and Lakers and Kobe have palyed hard against Rocket

Spurs should win Lakers tomorrow night

[Brazil]

+1

Thanks, Hawks!

Thanks, Lakers!


:toast

[DAF86]

Reality check loss for the Rockets. I hope Artest also realizes that he doesn't have the talent to be wasting 20 something possesions per game going one on one on guys.

[Brazil]

I really don't care who the Spurs root for. You showed how pathetic you were when you rooted for BOS in the Finals.

You really don't care but you start threads to cry a river because the lakers have no love.:lol

we know how to pick our champions :toast

[Brazil]

No jinx please and with Kobe you never know, it will be a tough game for both team.

[The Franchise]

The Lakers won tonight I am man enough to accept defeat. Good win Lakers, but I really want to play you guys again now. Well if Yao is going to show up anyway.

[DrHouse]

we know how to pick our champions :toast

No you're just a bunch of kids who didn't start watching basketball until 1999.

Had you any knowledge of NBA history you'd think twice about ever rooting for a team with a fanbase like the Celtics.

It's funny to see how excited you all are about being #2. Right behind the Lakers as always. Some things never change.

[TampaDude]

we know how to pick our champions :toast

^this

[Brazil]

Nice W lakers w/o Odumb and By against the rockets team at home with a record of 12 games.

[MarHill]

Lakers win 102-96!! Kobe goes off in the 2nd half but Josh Powell contributing 17 and 9 was big. The Rockers had 23 TO's..ouch!!!

[Many PackYao]

Good job Lakers!:pctoss

[DrHouse]

Rocket fans at least know how to accept a loss graciously.

No whining or complaining from them unlike Spur fan.

"POP IS BEING CIA" "MANU WAS INJURED" "THE REFS ARE AGAINST US"

[MarHill]

No you're just a bunch of kids who didn't start watching basketball until 1999.

It's funny to see how excited you all are about being #2. Right behind the Lakers as always. Some things never change.

Yeah...we're the team that has 4 championships in 10 years...the fourth most in NBA History.

Hmmm......

[The Franchise]

Reality check loss for the Rockets. I hope Artest also realizes that he doesn't have the talent to be wasting 20 something possesions per game going one on one on guys.

Boy tell me about it. They should know by now you never pass him the ball when he is in Captain Caveman mode.

[Brazil]

No you're just a bunch of kids who didn't start watching basketball until 1999.

after a W or a L always upset.. relax enjoy the life your team won w/o 2 important pieces against a top 8 team in the West, be happy.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Lakers just beat the Cockets!!!!!!!! Watch out Sperms. When I say sperms I'm talking about the ones that are all slow and going sideways.

[DrHouse]

Yeah...we're the team that has 4 championships in 10 years...the fourth most in NBA History.

Hmmm......

And yet you find yourself in the Laker's shadow yet again.

[portpower_11]

The Lakers won tonight I am man enough to accept defeat. Good win Lakers, but I really want to play you guys again now. Well if Yao is going to show up anyway.


Yao is very soft, should not rely on him much

It's not surprised to see this loss, as Artest shoot terribly

[TampaDude]

Nice W lakers w/o Odumb and By against the rockets team at home with a record of 12 games.

The Jazz also had their 12-game winning streak snapped tonight. :hat

[IronMexican]

Woooo! awesome day capped off with this.

[MarHill]

Rocket fans at least know how to accept a loss graciously.

No whining or complaining from them unlike Spur fan.

"POP IS BEING CIA" "MANU WAS INJURED" "THE REFS ARE AGAINST US"

Funny how I heard from Lakers fans that Mason's shot was lucky in the 1st regular season game in SA. Also, that Ariza didn't travel from Lakers fans.

Both teams have said and posted things. Relax!!!

[Mugen]

No you're just a bunch of kids who didn't start watching basketball until 1999.

Well I live in LA around a Lakers fanbase that is made up of a bunch of fags like DrHouse so I guess i know a little something about idiot fanbases.

[TampaDude]

And yet you find yourself in the Laker's shadow yet again.

Not hardly, dude... :lol

[Many PackYao]

Rockets 102-96
My score was correct. I just picked the wrong team to win.:( :bang

[DrHouse]

:lmao at how easy Spur fan is to rile up.

Calm down, I'm just fucking with you.

[TampaDude]

Well I live in LA around a Lakers fanbase that is made up of a bunch of fags like DrHouse so I guess i know a little something about idiot fanbases.

And yet you find yourself in the Laker's shadow yet again.

Naw....I don't think so!

History will show...what the Spurs are and have been! I'm not even worry about that or are the Spurs.

Championships are championships and 3 out of the last 6 and the last WC team to win the title...says it all!!

[MarHill]

:lmao at how easy Spur fan is to rile up.

Calm down, I'm just fucking with you.

I know you are....

just getting warmed up for tomorrow night!! :lmao

[GuerillaBlack]

Good game Lakers. I only caught the tailend. From the box score, Ron Artest's 0-8 from downtown really hurt us, as well as our TOs. Until we meet again. :toast

[Brazil]

I know you are....

just getting warmed up for tomorrow night!! :lmao

it's gonna be a nice night of good trolls, dumbass, moron, ass, dumbshit etc etc I can't wait

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Yeah...we're the team that has 4 championships in 10 years...the fourth most in NBA History.

Hmmm......

Here we go again. Another dumbass spur fan that think 4 is better than 14.

Houston don't want it.

Get ya caskets ready Spurs, Lakers sweeping this triangle.

[Lars]

Good game. Defensive adjustments at halftime seem to have caught Yao off guard an then we weren't hitting open threes. Cost us the game. Oh well, just one game.

[The Franchise]

Yeah, Artest started doing dumb shit and Yao is starting to make me hate his soft ass. Nobody that weighs 315 pound should have a problem sealing his man.

[MarHill]

Here we go again. Another dumbass spur fan that think 4 is better than 14.


I know the difference between 14 and 4. Read the entire post from Drhouse and not just my part.

I hope Laker fan knows what "context" is. Sheesh!!!

:bang

Be real. Kobe did his thing but you guys won because Yao is a bitch and Artest can get stupid when he gets emotional. Don't make it more than it is.

Good job Lakers... :toast
Now that Utah lost, and Dallas is in a dogfight with Portland, we're getting closer to clinching our playoff spot and resting up.

[Gouken]

Great win by the Lakers. Kobe was amazing in the 2nd half. Artest plays out of control once you get in his head. Josh Powell also played well tonight. That kid has a nice game.

[Mugen]

Don't you find it awfully sad that the only smack talk you can say is that the Lakers haven't won a title in 6 years? Honestly, if someone said that about the Spurs 6 years from now how would you react? You'd probably laugh at how pathetic a diss attempt that was.

It's laughable that you would even think of talking shit about a franchise as storied as the Lakers. The Spurs have had a good run, but the Lakers have done what the Spurs have done over and over again with different generations of players. And the saddest thing is if the Lakers win it all this season they will have accomplished more than the Spurs in this decade.

[Indazone]

3 losses to the Lakers. Lets face it, we still cannot roll with the Lakers. We need a healthy T-Mac or retooled Rockets team next year. Artest built his own barn out of bricks today. Yao was -18 on his plus minus. Yes he was efficient with the shots attempted but overall, yeah he sucked. Oh well at least the Celtics are losing to the Heat.

omg, you're right! all i have is "four rings faggot" yet im still so happy that im not a faker fan, what's wrong with me?????

what should i do DrHouse? i need your guidance

how long do you think it will take me to get to West Hollywood at this time?

we can watch south park together, we still have an hour and a half!

[iggypop123]

a positive of the suspension for odom is he should be fresh for the spurs game cause everyone else wont

DrHouse,

It is funny how Lakers fans always talk about Spurs fans throwing up their history all the time and the Lakers do it as well.

We all understand the Lakers and Celtics' histories and that both teams have won the most NBA Championships. I respect that history and it's great.

But the fact a team from South TX and in one of the smallest TV markets is the most winningest franchise this decade (not talking about 60's, 70's or 80's) is great!!!

I know Lakers fans would like to easily dismiss the Spurs but you can't and the fact LA has some natural advantages over SA...makes the story even more remarkable!!

And if the Spurs win their 4th title in 7 years...they will have one more than the Lakers for the decade!!

Hmmmm......

[ElNono]

Smack talk? It's called REALITY. When was the last time that the Lakers won an NBA Title? 6 years ago. That's no smack talk, that's just the plain old truth.

We've been told that we were done before, just like you're doing now. Back in 04, the in 06... this same season people were doubting we would make the playoffs...we all know how that talk panned out.

[Mugen]

i think we are all missing the point that the rockets suck.

[21_Blessings]

Don't worry cause they won't. Have fun watching that championship window close for good!

Mugen,

The Lakers fans have already started about tomorrow night and you know the Spurs fans are going to fire back.

Yes, the Rockets are a good team but not a great team!!!

[DrHouse]

The Spur's championship window is closed.

What is happening now is almost cruel to the fans. They still don't know that the Spurs aren't good enough to win another LOB with the team they have.

[ElNono]

These are the kind of hater posts I love. They reflect not only how scared these guys are of our team, but also how frustrating it is to them that we're so successful, while they're been condemned to second fiddle all this time.

Keep on hating Laker fan, we'll keep on winning while you do that...

What are you talking about? The championship window isn't closed!

What evidence do you have?

They were defending their championship and lost in the WCF. Congratulations to the Lakers for winning the west!!

They have the 2nd best record in the west and considering that Tony and Manu have missed quite a few games this season.

It's amazing how people don't get that....seems like people think the Spurs are just above .500 and trying to get the 8th seed.

That's not case and they are one of the four teams that can win it all this year. So Spurs fans are blind...but hey don't let facts get in the way of a good purple-and-gold view of the NBA world!!

:flag:

[DrHouse]

There is no hate. I feel bad for you guys.

You're so riled up and excited about being #2 in the WC and you all really think you have a chance to win it all. You don't realize that your team is simply too old to sustain a high level of play throughout a grueling playoff run. They will run out of gas again by the WCF, if they even make it that far.

[Mugen]

everybody lies.

[MarHill]

There you go again with your back-handed compliments about the Spurs.

If the Lakers had Gasol and Odom missed games in the beginning of the season and the Lakers still had the #2 seed right now...the Lakers fans would be posting that all over this forum. So, please don't give me that!

And you went to the old card.....sheesh! Again, don't let the facts get in the way of your purple-and-gold view of the world.

Mason is 28, Bonner is 28, Hill is 22, Gooden is 27, and Hairston is 21 or 22....oh BTW, TP is 26 too. So the Spurs have gotten younger and are still in contention for a championship!!

Hmmm........we can debate legitimate reasons why either team can or can not win the title...but please leave the tired stereotypes alone.

:flag:

[ElNono]

Doesn't matter if we're #2 or #8... it never mattered. We've won it all with and without HCA. We are just confident that the core of our team has been there and done it before, multiple times. They been doubted before, and came through again and again, multiple times.

If we're healthy, we have as good a chance as anybody.

And as far as being old, Manu is just one year older than Kobe. Duncan is two years younger than Fish, and Tony is two years younger than Gasol.
Not only that, we won our last championship being the oldest team in the league, and this season we've added younger pieces.
So, again, WTF are you babbling about?

[DrHouse]

Key words, you've WON it all before.

This current Spur team is not as good as any of the championship teams in almost every statsitical category.

BTW Ginobili is still hurt with < 20 games to go. I'm sure playing on his ankles in a grueling playoff run is going to make them all better :lmao. He will be hobbled again and you all will make the same ol' excuses.

[Spursmania]

Yes we did. If anything, it's a great indicator we know what it takes and we can do it again.


This current Spur team is not as good as any of the championship teams in almost every statsitical category.

We've had injuries this year, plenty of them. We also have made substantial changes to the roster, unlike years past. Pop has also been monitoring the minutes for TD.
Even then, I believe we're peaking at the right time. I'm fairly sure we're back in the top 10 in opponent FG%, the stat Pop uses to rate his defense.


BTW Ginobili is still hurt with < 20 games to go. I'm sure playing on his ankles in a grueling playoff run is going to make them all better :lmao. He will be hobbled again and you all will make the same ol' excuses.

Well, we're certainly counting on at least our core players being healthy. I don't think that's much different than any other team.
And BTW, Manu was actually back in practice taking jumpers today. Video at spurs.com... Probably another week for him.
How's Bynum doing? You know, last thing I want is to hear all the 'We didn't have Ariza or Bynum' excuses again...

[DrHouse]

It doesn't matter how Bynum is doing because the Lakers don't need him to beat down the Spurs 4-1 :toast

It doesn't matter when Manu gets back. His ankles are done. Anyone with a brain can see that. Playing tough playoff series after playoff series is not going to make the situation any better. He's just going to reaggravate them again.

[ElNono]

Its like a woman whos man has left, but she still think shes in a relationship.:lol

You sound like you know what you're talking about...
Would it be like Kobe making believe every Laker fan that they won something, but when you ask him to show the goods he really has nothing?

[ElNono]

It doesn't matter how Bynum is doing because the Lakers don't need him to beat down the Spurs 4-1 :toast

We do need a healthy Manu to win our 4th ring in 8 years...

You definitely are hoping so. You know your team has no chance if all our guys are healthy.

Actually the Lakers and Spurs played each other at full strength this season and the result was a Laker asswhooping. It was so bad that your own coach didn't bother playing the Big 3 at all in the 4th.

I don't worry about the Spurs. Your team is no match for a healthy Laker team. I have facts to back me up, you have nothing but faith. This is like trying to argue evolution to one of those Inteligent Design nuts.

In LA. We also played with our top players in San Antonio and we won.
Now go ahead, and reach all the way to claim that Sasha and Farmer are difference makers. I'll be waiting here to mock you for merely suggesting that.

You do worry about the Spurs. You worry so much you're posting in a Spurs forum you visit daily, you take every opportunity to troll about them, and you redirect every thread to talk about your fears. You're scared shitless. You just won't admit it.
And what facts back you up? That your team have not been able to get it done in half a decade? Because that's a fact, and this game is played to win it all. Nobody remembers number 2.

[BeeGee]

If you think you're gettin' in Kobe's head, you gon' lose tonight, nigga.
Artest got dealt with.

The Spurs won a game by 1pt with the Lakers missing 3 rotation players playing on the tailend of a b2b. Hardly the kind of win that inspires confidence of any sort. They still gave up 111 pts to the Lakers.

When the playing field was equal again (both teams healthy and rested) it wasn't close. The Lakers obliterated the Spurs.

The Spurs are 1-4 against Phil Jackson's Lakers this decade. Greg Popovich just can't beat Phil Jackson when it counts. Phil knows how to beat your team 6 ways from Sunday. I feel bad for you because when the Lakers win this season, destroying the Spurs en route, you will have NOTHING to talk shit about. You'll probably go back to the silly Kobe rape smack talk.

God you are one ugly stupid redneck.

We don't need confidence. We have years of proven success to know what a regular season W or L means. Nothing at all.


When the playing field was equal again (both teams healthy and rested) it wasn't close. The Lakers obliterated the Spurs.

So we didn't play well one game in January. Is that all you got?

The only reason it's 1-4 and not 4-4 is that Phil went fishing for 3 straight years because you're team was too pathetic to either make the playoffs or beat the D'Antoni Suns, while Pop was having parades in the Riverwalk.
Pop sent Phil packing before, with Kobe and Shaq included.


God you are one ugly stupid redneck.

Talking out of your ass again, are you? Not only I'm not from Texas, I never lived anywhere near the south of the US ever. So why don't you just stop getting owned and STFU for a while.

[HANNIBAL SMITH]

:lol It was refreshing to see the Lakers actually playing some defense and hustle for a change in that second half, the defense haven't been there since that 6 game road trip it seems. That was the difference of the game......... and with Kobe shitting over the city of Houston.

[TheNextGen]

Here's praying Kobe does his ball-hogging in the 4th...if he does, rockets fans. You can rest assured that you will have a WIN.

good call! :lol

[DrHouse]

The Lakers don't need to win a regular season game to know they are better than the Spurs.

That much is clear. 4-1 in this decade, trashed the Spurs 4-1 last season. There is no reason to be afraid of this team who is another year older and thinks their savior is an injured Drew Gooden.

But you're right to be afraid of a healthy trio of Manu, TP and Duncan. After all, they've been winning it every other year for half a decade now. They have the rings to back it up. How many rings does your current Laker team has to backup all the bullshit you're spewing?

I didn't think so.

Why would the Lakers be afraid of a team they trashed 4-1 last season?

[ElNono]

Why would the Lakers be afraid of a team they trashed 4-1 last season?

Because said team wasn't healthy last season but it's gearing to be this season. And because the Spurs are an experienced team that has been down before and came back to win it all the year after.
We've been here before in '04... then in '06 with Dallas...
This is nothing new...

Why would the Lakers feel threatened by a team they've thrashed 4-1 last season, whose core players haven't changed, without Bynum or Ariza?

The answer is they don't.

[peskypesky]

It must be opposite day because I could have sworn the Lakers trashed the Spurs 4-1 last year in the playoffs without Bynum or Ariza.
