Game 2: Lakers vs Rockets

[lefty]

Gasol is really gay


I mean reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally gay


He should consider doing hobo gay porn

[iggypop123]

elbow, tough to argue with that

[Indazone]

That foul on Yao was total bs. Thanks Joey!

[lefty]

Ben Wallace > Hakeem

[braeden0613]

wow refs are terrible

[sook]

this is what Dr House meant by officiated fair. I guess he was right

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Collins is a propagandists.. "OH he jumped iNTO HIM"

[Cry Havoc]

stern told them to call a bs foul in fisher right?

Uh, if at the end of the night the fouls were 34 to 0 it would be just a touch obvious.

[rayray2k8]

omg, they called a foul on the lakers. :wow
:lol

[Cry Havoc]

elbow, tough to argue with that

You mean like how Gasol had his arm in Yao's face with no call?

[j.dizzle]

Bynum looks like he would rather be at the playboy mansion rather than playing ball. And Farmar should be officially glued to that bench.
i always say that.That fool seems like he doesnt have any fire for the game..His mom probably told him to play basketball because of his height

[iggypop123]

rockets already shooting FT's. how can houston argue?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

this is what Dr House meant by officiated fair. I guess he was right

House is in no position to talk about officiating. He's so used to them favoring Laker. Fair Officiating is B.S. to him :lmao

[angrydude]

another bullshit call on Yao.

Thats 4 points Crawford took from the Rockets.

[lefty]

Rockets have MAJOR cojones

[Cry Havoc]

With all the shooting from the Lakers and the help from refs, it's a 6 point game.

Looks like I was semi-right about the Lakers bench. 17 to 7 right now.

[sook]

WTF?!?!?!? Joey made a call for us?!?!? IM IN DISBELIEF

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I can't belive it's a SIX POINT GAME

[lefty]

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[ace3g]

artest for 3!!!!

45-48 and Rockets with the steal

[Lars]

Thank god for LA's lack of depth, woot three point game!

[Cry Havoc]

rockets already shooting FT's. how can houston argue?

Have you been watching? The Lakers have been fouling on every single play. Literally every single play there's heavy contact by Lakers players attempting to play defense, except they don't know how.

[iggypop123]

eventually the rockets have to miss a 3

[sook]

lol how are we within 3? roflmao

[Cry Havoc]

Refs finally gaining some credibility by calling obvious fouls.

[iggypop123]

haha still complaining rockets? wow i guess since its ron artest its ok to call it a foul

[pauls931]

rockets aren't playing very smart when getting doubled this game. It's amazing they're in this.

[lefty]

I can't believe it


Did Joey Crawford just receive a call from Ralph Nader ?

[sook]

eventually the rockets have to miss a 3

i really like your sig, how do i do that with the rockets?:wow

[Indazone]

The Rockets are so deep it doesn't really matter if Yao is in the game or not. As I predicted, the refs took Yao out of the game early with fouls.

[rayray2k8]

If the rockets keep this game under single digits, they got a chance.

[sook]

the officiating is balancing a bit phew

[Lars]

One point gameeeee.

[Libri]

Damn, 1 point lead, hehe

[resistanze]

WTF is Kobe doing?

[lefty]

the officiating is balancing a bit phew

Still a half to go


Fingers crossed

[sook]

Lead!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Bwahahaha I love Ron Artest.

[lefty]

Kobe has forgotten how to shake his head

[Indazone]

YEAH Ron-Ron for the lead!!

[Cry Havoc]

1 point lead! :lmao at people who said this is over. Aside from Kobe and Ariza, the Lakers DO NOT PLAY DEFENSE. When their shooting fails, their team can't run the half court with the Rox.

[Lars]

And we got the lead!!!! Fuck man, Artest is really playing clutch.

[Libri]

Artest smells blood

[monoslyab1k]

Ron Artest for Josh Howard is a lateral move :rolleyes

Fuck Cuban, fuck Nelson

[sook]

i love our bench. This is all because Landry came out to play tonight

[angrydude]

lol. so much for the game being over.

Seriously, Kobe has to score ALL of the lakers points.

Rockets stopped turning the ball over and now their right back in it.

[rayray2k8]

oh shit..

[lefty]

Lakers are too good

Team of the decade !!!!


I don't see how Houston can beat them

[Indazone]

Artest is that guy we've needed for years. He hates losing and he's tough as nails.

[Banzai]

At this point Rockets>Lakers.

[JamStone]

Officials = http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s70/penguinparty38/three_blind_mice.gif

[ace3g]

artest puts the rockets up 1

Fuck Cuban, fuck Nelson

He is a FA next year.

[Thunder Dan]

Has anyone ever actually watched a Tyler Perry show? They plug that to death and I've never seen it on tv ever

[Capt Bringdown]

Hollyweird in shock, keep it up Rocks!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

the officiating is balancing a bit phew

It's a cover. You think the Zebras don't know how to taint games without giving a crumb to the other team every now and then??
When was the last job they successfully pulled off?? 2002?? they've had 7 years to perfect their bullshit. These guys are fucking experts now...expect 4th Quarter B.S. to ensue. They get fans acclimated enough until bam, a Brent Barry no foul call type play.

Too bad Crawford and Co. are playing with fire. The Rockets defense is for real.

[benefactor]

Great poise by the Rockets. They never panicked when the Lakers were giving them their best punches early in the game and they once again used their defense to take over and get right back in it.

The other thing that is glaring is that Houston's second unit is far superior to LA's. They have owned them in both games so far.

[Lars]

Props to Chuck Hayes, he really gives softer players serious problems.

[Indazone]

Ron is playing out of his gourd. He's hitting ridiculous shots tonight.

[rayray2k8]

The hell? We're not allowed to watch? :huh

[hhml]

Man, it's unfortunate Artest has to heat up against us.

[Killakobe81]

Not worried Lakers got away from what they are doing ...

[iggypop123]

9-0 ft still arguing rockets?

[z0sa]

houston playing kind of like Spurfan wished they could have. Y'all get someone instead of T-Back, Rockets may be unstoppable.

[pauls931]

Who's that creepy guy with glasses that always sits next to jack nicholson?

[lefty]

Man the Rockets have cojones so big Yao Ming can't see himself in the mirror

[resistanze]

Artest had the weirdest form in the NBA, but he's damn good.

[lefty]

Who's that creepy guy with glasses that always sits next to jack nicholson?

Woody Allen ?

[rayray2k8]

Who's that creepy guy with glasses that always sits next to jack nicholson?

Yeah who the hell is that????
I thought it was Donald sutherland. lmao

[Cry Havoc]

19-7 in favor of Rockets bench. Lakers do not know how to rotate on D.

My, Gasol has a pretty, soft, nice rainbow arc on that shot. Beautiful.

[resistanze]

Ariza = mad overrated

[supermana]

Mandry!!!

[Thunder Dan]

If you like his plays, you will like his shows. I cant stomach them.

He makes plays? Man, can't wait to not see one of those

[Cry Havoc]

Artest had the weirdest form in the NBA, but he's damn good.

No.

Marion and Noah take that honor.

[MI21]

Nice defensive quarter so far from Houston. LA will be lucky to hit 20 points this quarter which is about half of the first quarter. That's some good D. It really is amazing how much better Houston are with out T-Mac.

Also, incredible of Houston to get back into the game so quick. Usually teams fight back to get it tight late in 3rd/early 4th which doesn't leave enough energy to close the game out. If Houston can keep it tight into half time, they have shortened the game and have a real chance to steal another game.

[iggypop123]

i guess adelman slipped crawford a 20 to get some calls

[lefty]

Oh, and the Lakers are in big trouble. No way this team beats the Rockets with this pathetic effort.

Don't worry

Lakers win game 2

Kobe is the best, Lakers are too deep

[MI21]

Double post for some fuckin' reason.

[lefty]

i guess adelman slipped crawford a 20 to get some calls

GTFO :lmao

[rayray2k8]

What happened to all that energy the Lakers had in the 1st quarter?

[braeden0613]

Has anyone ever actually watched a Tyler Perry show? They plug that to death and I've never seen it on tv ever
I don't pretend to understand black humor, but it's one of the most unfunny shows I've ever watched.

[Indazone]

Damn Landry has come to play tonight!

[sook]

yea the piece the rockets are mising is Rip Hamilton. They would be so frigging good, rip would get all the open shots he ever wanted off Yao and screens.

[lefty]

Tyler Perry sucks major ass

[rayray2k8]

i guess adelman slipped crawford a 20 to get some calls

Maybe the keys to the hotel as well?
:lol

[Lars]

Kobe drives around Battier into Chuck Hayes, with Artest five feet behind. Thats a defensive fucking nightmare.

[pauls931]

ah gasol with the forced shot and bailout

[Thunder Dan]

The guy in the glasses is the creator of the rocky horror pic show and is a big music producer, his son is that cisqo alder guy who had that shitty song last year.

[sook]

After watching the pistons for so many years, He is PERFECT for this offense!

[lefty]

Hey Kobe, tell me how my bloody ass tastes

[rayray2k8]

At this rate, my post count will be over 3,000..
Now I know the dirty little secret on increasing that number.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

i guess adelman slipped crawford a 20 to get some calls

No Crawford after they got Yao out , pulled out their disinformation bullshit.. "okay, now we've got start calling some calls here and here to provide us some deniability"

It's hilarious that soem fans don't realize the refs have their own playbooks of their own.
This isn't the old school type bullshit where two teams are on the floor of the 1960's.
This is a three team game now.

[lefty]

Landryyyyy


What a MAN !!!

[pauls931]

BTW, I stole the pick in my sig obviously, lets call a truce and change all the finger picks to 'The Lakers Suck'.

[resistanze]

LMAO Gasoft.

[sook]

Lmfao

[lefty]

Gasol is scolaing :lmao

[TheProfessor]

:lol What do the Rockets have to do to get a call inside?

[Cry Havoc]

Lakers stopped hitting shots and since they can't play consistent defense, they're screwed now unless they get hot again.

[ace3g]

gotta love Pau "awwwww, yelll, get refs attention" Gasol

[benefactor]

The Lakers are flat getting bullied right now.

[Indazone]

Whoooo Landry with 15 pts. He's a workhorse.

[supermana]

9-0 ft still arguing rockets?
we attack the rim!

[Thunder Dan]

Lou Adler that's the name

[iggypop123]

i cant believe a scrub is outscoring the lakers

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

i forgot all about Landry.

[lefty]

" What's happening with the Lakers ? "


How about......... they are being outplayed ???? Fuck the medias

[sook]

WOW LANDRY 16 point QRTR. He would have been better if he doesn't miss so many fuckingFTS

[rayray2k8]

not even the refs can stop the rockets!! :wow

[lefty]

OMG, Adelman has so many secret weapons to throw at KFC

[baseline bum]

Damn, I went to grab something to eat after LA's 37 point 1st, and Houston has come back and taken the lead!?!?! Damn, major props to Landry. What the hell is happening to LA? Coming into the postseason the Lakers looked like the surest title bet since the 97 Bulls.

[pauls931]

I thought the Lakers were better defensively. They actually remind me of a suns team.

[sook]

i cant believe a scrub is outscoring the lakers

He isn't a scrub! He played like this every game last year before the injury, and most of this year before getting shot. He has his confidence back

[Cry Havoc]

Lakers won't hit 80% all game...houston can still come back. They probably won't but who knows


AND ONE inside for Landry.

Lakers playing extremely lazy. This is why Kobe won't win a ring. His team is now watching him play instead of staying active and alert.

Also, on a less homerific note, does anyone notice the bizarre passing movement by the Rockets? It's kind of fun and scary to watch at the same time.


Lakers not putting Houston away... starting to look lazy on defense.

[Indazone]

Landry singlehandly outscoring LAKERS this qtr.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Lakers stopped hitting shots and since they can't play consistent defense, they're screwed now unless they get hot again.

No. they blew their wad in the 1st quarter.

[Thunder Dan]

It must have been sunglasses night at staples becuase everyone is wearing the sunglasses they got inside the arena

[lefty]

not even the refs can stop the rockets!! :wow
:rollin

[rayray2k8]

So Bynam's hurt right?

[sook]

Thank you walton!

[lefty]

Walton > Larry Bird

[Lars]

i cant believe a scrub is outscoring the lakers

If you think Landry is a scrub, you are seriously ignorant.

[it's me]

landryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy fakers... eat that.

[sook]

i like the heart of this team. They try so hard every fucking night.

[iggypop123]

open shot after open shot missed

[supermana]

Stern needs to make some calls in half time break

[pauls931]

Walton > Larry Bird

If you mean by missing layins, point blank shots, and turning the ball over, you're right on.

[Thunder Dan]

If you wear sunglasses indoors at a cavs game you get your ass kicked

[resistanze]

LMAO Lakers bench

Farmar
Vujacic
Walton

TURRIBLE.

[Indazone]

Landry last year was top 20 in PER. He's a dunking monster.

[sook]

fucking Kobe

[Killakobe81]

Kobe is the best closer in the game 2 quarter buzzer beaters ...

[Capt Bringdown]

Killer 3 by Kobe, just cut-throat nasty.

[Indazone]

tie game! Whoo this is gonna be a good one. I thought we were gonna get blown out after that first qtr.

[DAF86]

Man, Landry 6-11 FT's he could have 21 at the half.

[DPG21920]

How does Kome hit those shots?

[rayray2k8]

No Yao or Scola and they still took the lead.

[sook]

Yao vs Pau IS NOT A GOOD MATCHUP. That is why we need Bynum to start.

[angrydude]

Kobe is going to have to start chucking because the rockets are shutting everyone else down somehow.

Don't know how, but its happening.

[sook]

We don't need Yao too much for this game, we can play full court and half court with that past lineup.

[it's me]

Kobe is the best closer in the game 2 quarter buzzer beaters ...

kobe is also ringless without Snack O'Meal :toast

[hhml]

As good as the Lakers are they cannot win the championship with this team since they play absolutely no defense. Talent can only get you so far.

[lefty]

" Hey Kobe, tell me how my bloody ass tastes "

http://twocrazygirls.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/shane.jpg

[baseline bum]

Damn, Carl Landy is a motherfucking man. Gets bucked down last month and now he's back taking over a playoff game on the road against the title favorites in a do-or-die game for them. :tu

[Killakobe81]

When will Lkaers learn their lessons? Pau is to up and down with effort freaking use that height and wingspan!!!
Play Bynum some more too

[JamStone]

Honestly Phil should not take Kobe out for the rest of the game unless it's a 20 point blowout in the final minutes.

[rayray2k8]

kobe is also ringless without Snack O'Meal :toast
You can't stop the snack attack..

[lefty]

Kobe is the best closer in the game 2 quarter buzzer beaters ...

And then he disappears in the 4th quarters

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Yao vs Pau IS NOT A GOOD MATCHUP. That is why we need Bynum to start.

Hopefully Adelman adjusts who defends Pau.

Adelman has enough weapons to play a chessmatch with Phil.
and I don't see chokers like Peja, Hedo, on this team when I see Battier and Artest, Landry.

[j-money24]

Yao vs Pau IS NOT A GOOD MATCHUP. That is why we need Bynum to start.

Shut up, i want Yao in round 2.

- Bynum

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

And then he disappears in the 4th quarters

ya he misses more than half in the 4th quarter closers. Or makes premature ones.

[Danny.Zhu]

i like the heart of this team. They try so hard every fucking night.
The chemistry in this team is unbelievable.

[benefactor]

Damn, I went to grab something to eat after LA's 37 point 1st, and Houston has come back and taken the lead!?!?! Damn, major props to Landry. What the hell is happening to LA? Coming into the postseason the Lakers looked like the surest title bet since the 97 Bulls.
LA's defensive flaws are becoming painfully obvious...plus they are a finesse team. Houston is much more physical and it is bothering the Lakers offensive flow. Combine that with the Lakers second unit getting raped and pillaged by the Rockets second unit and you get a 15pt lead that disappears into a tie.

[Libri]

Stern needs to make some calls in half time break

He will. :madrun

:lol

[Amaso]

These scrubs are playing out of their mind.

[hhml]

Kobe's going to need rest at some point. Playing all those minutes straight will kill him.

[Danny.Zhu]

tie game! Whoo this is gonna be a good one. I thought we were gonna get blown out after that first qtr.

Me too.

[01Snake]

Damn impressed with the Rockets in these playoffs.

[Indazone]

We got a fast lineup, big lineup, transition lineup, small guard lineup and big guard lineup.

Adleman just made the adjustments he needed to make. After the Refs took Yao and Scola outta the game the refs don't know what to do with that second unit since they weren't given specific instructions on these other guys :lmao

[lefty]

Allen !


OMG Gordon ties it !!!!!




What? nobody's watching game 11 of Celtics-Bulls ? :wtf

[DAF86]

And then he disappears in the 4th quarters

You just fucked an entire thread of jinxes.

[benefactor]

Damn, Carl Landy is a motherfucking man. Gets bucked down last month and now he's back taking over a playoff game on the road against the title favorites in a do-or-die game for them. :tu
We should have tossed some cash at him when Houston was questioning his knee during the offseason. I pushed hard for this...and now all can see why.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

We got a fast lineup, big lineup, transition lineup, small guard lineup and big guard lineup.

Adleman just made the adjustments he needed to make. After the Refs took Yao and Scola outta the game the refs don't know what to do with that second unit since they weren't given specific instructions on these other guys :lmao

Don't worry Refs are in their lockerroom drawing new X's and O's on their own chalkboard..
They're also watching gametape of Landry, and the second unit.

[iggypop123]

its pretty simple what lakers have to do. run. but if the rockets get to shot FT all quarter its impossible since you cant run off an inbound pass

[benefactor]

Adleman has to be snickering at KFC from his bench....

[monoslyab1k]

Role players... oh how I wish the Mavs had role players :(

Fuck Mark and Donnie

[lefty]

You just fucked an entire thread of jinxes.

Don't worry, I got this





Lakers 2009 NBA champs !!!

Then they will repeat in 2010 and 2011 !

Team of the decade !!!!

[hhml]

I'd like to see Benga get some minutes. Bynum is playing like crap in the PO.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Damn impressed with the Rockets in these playoffs.

They always had the talent, it's just the coaching and players were suspect in responding to a correct game plan during the JVG and Adelman + Tmac years.

Now that Tmac is out of the equation they are enormously versatile. It's only logical to see that Tmac is a loser and poison.

[lefty]

I'd like to see Benga get some minutes. Bynum is playing like crap in the PO.
I would like to see Benga yell at Sasha


again :hat

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Role players... oh how I wish the Mavs had role players :(

Fuck Mark and Donnie
Weren't you guys getting articles upon articles on the role players two weeks ago?

[Roxsfan]

We should have tossed some cash at him when Houston was questioning his knee during the offseason. I pushed hard for this...and now all can see why.

not only that but the fucking refs call basket interference on his put back when the fucking ball was out of the cylinder and on its way down. Assholes.

[sook]

LOL we are getting respect at halftime :)

[Lars]

Im going conspiracy theory here: From what I saw it looks like Crawford is going out of his way to make some calls against the Rockets, but it looks like another one of the refs is trying really hard to balance Joey-isms.

[lefty]

OMFG


Barkley and Kenny Smith jinxing Houston, their former team

[baseline bum]

Role players... oh how I wish the Mavs had role players :(

Fuck Mark and Donnie

:pctoss

Spurs fans would kill to have Terry, Barea, and Bass off the bench.:depressed

[hhml]

Sasha's shots have been off all season. Fisher has gone cold at the wrong time. Vlade is gone. Bynum is invisible. Ariza has started to come down to earth with his shots. Odom's back to being inconsistent. Is this the end for the Lakers?

[sook]

We got a fast lineup, big lineup, transition lineup, small guard lineup and big guard lineup.

Adleman just made the adjustments he needed to make. After the Refs took Yao and Scola outta the game the refs don't know what to do with that second unit since they weren't given specific instructions on these other guys :lmao

Scola got absolutely hammered by odom just about everytime. It doesn't take the reffs or anybody though to win a game. It takes heart. Fucking heart. Heart that doesn't allow you to giveup as you are being assraped the 1st qrtr, you put your shoulder down and keep your posture high. Heart my friend, and that is what i love most about this team.

[nil.ball]

OMFG


Barkley and Kenny Smith jinxing Houston, their former team

If god-all-mighty Joey crawford can't stop landry, I doubt Barkley or Kenny will do any harm. :toast

The way Rockets are playing, the bandwagon is filling up quickly. :king

[Indazone]

Crawford and Co. did their jobs and took Yao and Scola out of the game early. But too many weapons on the Rockets.

[rayray2k8]

I like that Heineken commercial. :toast

[Mr. Body]

Sasha's shots have been off all season. Fisher has gone cold at the wrong time. Vlade is gone. Bynum is invisible. Ariza has started to come down to earth with his shots. Odom's back to being inconsistent. Is this the end for the Lakers?

Nonsense, Bynum is incredible. He makes the Lakers one of the best teams of all time. He's the equal to Bill Russell at least.

[Ghazi]

Houston has an amazing collection of role players.

[Danny.Zhu]

:pctoss

Spurs fans would kill to have Terry, Barea, and Bass off the bench.:depressed

exactly...

[sook]

Is this the same rocket team that only had 4 players score vs Utah in 07' :lol

[Amarelooms]

I told all you losers that Houston has a chance if the bench plays well....now suck on it :elephant

[Indazone]

Yeah a lot of our role players would be starters on other teams. Chuck Hayes used to be a starter for JVG and now he's like the 9th or 10th guy off the bench.

[Lars]

Houston has an amazing collection of role players.

Thats all Morey man, that guy is a genius. He swindled the Spurs for Scola, turned a Donte Green 40 point summer league game into Artest, stole Lowry from Memphis for Rafer freakin Alston, and then plucked two gems out of the draft in the second round (Brooks/Landry)

That man is on another level. Its freaking scary he has also managed to accumulate 25 million dollars in expirings as well.

[Banzai]

Is this the same rocket team that only had 4 players score vs Utah in 07' :lol

that rocket team had T-Mac/Alston/Yao...now its Brookes/Battier/Yao

[sook]

i was bitching about landry playing so timid. This is how Landry played every single game, i mean aggression wise, actually he DUNKED THE BALL EVERY TIME LAST YEAR. Hope he can get back. He is the new JJ Hickson

[Amarelooms]

Yeah a lot of our role players would be starters on other teams. Chuck Hayes used to be a starter for JVG and now he's like the 9th or 10th guy off the bench.

Chuck Hayes is the worst player off the bench :elephant

[Indazone]

Here's hoping Kobe blew his wad in the 1st qtr.

[DAF86]

Is this the same rocket team that only had 4 players score vs Utah in 07' :lol

No, you don't have an overrated choker making his teammates worst.

[lefty]

Allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllright



Time to see if STERN placed some calls during halftime

[Lars]

Chuck Hayes is the worst player off the bench :elephant

Nooooo, he is one of the best post defenders in the league. He is +17 for this game, which is the highest for all players.

[Indazone]

We need to extend to a 10 pt lead or more going into the 4th.

[sook]

FUCK more Pau vs Yao

[Indazone]

Chuck Hayes is our Bruce Bowen.

[lefty]

By the way guys, did you see Mac Grady shooting the ball this morning during the shootaround?

He looked O.K, I think he can come back during the series

[hhml]

If the Lakers don't win the first 5 minutes, they're finished.

[Indazone]

By the way guys, did you see Mac Grady shooting the ball this morning during the shootaround?

He looked O.K, I think he can come back during the series


nooooooo that's my worst nightmare!!

[sook]

fuck shane you gotta hit that. Damn i don't like these matchups with this lineup

[Cry Havoc]

Chuck Hayes is our Bruce Bowen.

Battier?

[sook]

OMG Scola you stupid fuck!

[pauls931]

Lakers back in SSOL mode.

[lefty]

Scola and Gasol are really gay


Scola loves Pau

[sook]

WTF he held his arm!

[Cry Havoc]

FUCKING AWFUL OFFICIATING. Artest is getting GRIPPED by a player and loses the ball, no call?

[Biggems]

Odom was holding Artest in front of 2 refs and they call it out on Houston........Horrible

[Lars]

Wow Odom is holding Artest and they give the ball to LA.

[lefty]

Kobe !!!!!!!!!!


Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[sook]

They were holding Artest's arm the whole time wow wtf

[Spursfan092120]

Wow...Kobe playing great tonight..very impressive...

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

"This guy can't guard me!!!!!"

[lefty]

LMAO Kobe

[Cry Havoc]

Kobe's such a fuckwad. Stop jawing you arrogant pile of shit.

[baseline bum]

Great start for LA this quarter.

[ezau]

Stern doesn't like his Laker babies to lose. This one's going to LA, unfortunately.

[Capt Bringdown]

Kobe starting to take over.

[sook]

Bring landry back in ...scola is not on his game

[Biggems]

the rockets starters need to keep it close until their bench comes in

[lefty]

Nice miss on the FT

[baseline bum]

Damn, Kobe's killing shit!

[sook]

wtf is that 5 missed layups scola? Bring landry back in

[lefty]

:lmao Kobe opening his mouth only after hitting a shot

[Biggems]

Bryant Buttfucking Battier tonight

[dirk4mvp]

Kobe is the shit.

[hhml]

I hate the fact Kobe keeps settling for jump shots. It's fortunate he's hitting them. If he goes cold...Lakers are screwed.

[01Snake]

kobe's such a fuckwad. Stop jawing you arrogant pile of shit.

+1

[pauls931]

Wow, kobe is puttin up shots as fast as he can. Someone needs to give him a hard foul on the arms to make him think twice.

[lefty]

nooooooo that's my worst nightmare!!

I was kidding :lmao

[Lars]

Kobe can't keep it up forever, he is gonna wear out.

[iggypop123]

yao cant even get a touch.

[Spursfan092120]

Stern doesn't like his Laker babies to lose. This one's going to LA, unfortunately.
I wouldn't go that far to say this has to do with Stern. Rockets were right there in it. Fact is..Lakers are a great team. Great teams don't lose Games 1 and 2 at home. Rockets are starting to miss shots, and Kobe is playing ridiculous. What do you expect? Rockets to sweep?

[Capt Bringdown]

15-5 run for the Lakers.

That quarter ending 3 by Kobe was the turning point of the game.

[BandWagon Cavs Fan]

Bryant Buttfucking Battier tonight


lol nice D Battier.....what a joke

[sook]

the starters are playing like ballsack tonight

[Spursfan092120]

Kobe can't keep it up forever, he is gonna wear out.
You don't watch the Lakers often, do you?

[Amarelooms]

Why is Bryant talking shit to Battier...guess he is just trying to pump himself and his team up :elephant

[Indazone]

damn, Adleman was right. Lakers coming out with fire to start the 3rd. Also if Gasol starts playing outside and hitting long range jumpers that's like Mehmet Okur throwing stuff in from outside and Yao has trouble defensively. We'd be better off with Landry out there.

[Spursfan092120]

Where's my boy, BUMP tonight?

[Banzai]

+1

my bad.

[sook]

put hayes in, landry, and wafer
goto what works

[Killakobe81]

Game was not over in 2nd quarter and game is not over even with Kobe heating up ...
I like the defense this quarter ...but can we maintain it?

[DAF86]

Why do NBA coaches always start the second half with the same guys that start the game? if you see that the bench guys are playing better than the starters change the rotation.

[sook]

why does Kobe talk so much shit? I can understand if battier was, but all he does is respect people.

[baseline bum]

Kobe can't keep it up forever, he is gonna wear out.

Yes he can
