Even if the Lakers win the series....

[ezau]

They're gonna get really banged up physically and mentally before they get out of Houston's reach. Now that's something that you don't want going to the WCF.

[DrHouse]

That's exactly what needs to happen to them moron.

If they cakewalk to the Finals again it does them no good.

All of the 3-peat teams, save 2001, went through intense bloody battles en route to the Finals and it's what made them champions.

Epic fail of a thread. You are a moron.

[Allanon]

I think it's good mental practice for them. Utah's a bit soft and now they've run into a pretty physical team.

With these rough Rockets, the Lakers will learn to stop being so fucking soft and show some toughness.

[TheMACHINE]

glad they're goign thru this. We saw whut happened last year.

First off, fuck you. The threepeating LA team was heads and shoulders better than this faggot Laker team, which is why they won three consecutive titles in the first place.

Other than Kobe and Fisher, no player in this Laker team knows what toughness is all about. I don't think this team can recover from a physically and mentally demanding series such as this. The way things are going, they would be lucky to crawl out of the semis with one leg intact

[j.dizzle]

your dumb homie. You probably didnt watch last years playoffs. They played 3 soft & shit teams & then had to play a tough & physical boston team. They werent prepared for that. Im extremely happy this series is gonna be harder then it was last season.

[baseline bum]

glad they're goign thru this. We saw whut happened last year.

So are you saying they'll fold again against a physical team?

[ezau]

They played 3 soft and shitty teams last years, which included the Spurs and they got buttraped by Boston.

[IronMexican]

I said this about the C's in 2008.

[ezau]

Imagine this Lakers team banged up and meeting a supremely hungry and well-rested Nuggets team. Despite of what the Laker homers are going to say, they're F.U.C.K.E.D.

[Ghazi]

Nuggets matchup horribly v LA.

[DAF86]

Meh, you never know. Look at the Celtics last year. I do think they don't seem as confident as they were during the regular season though.

You are the last piece of shit, moron may be the least repulsive appellation I can think of to use on you.

You and your good-for-nothing team will never see the NBA playoffs for the next 50 years. Enjoy trolling this forum because nobody gives a fuck about what you think bitch

[ginobili's bald spot]

Brilliant point. That's why the Celtics were able to win the championship last year. They just breezed their way to the finals.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lol Celtics won the championship because of their team defense, a deep enough bench, and an ability to bang in the post and on the perimeter.

I don't understand the rationale of Laker fan here. Celtics winning the 'ship had nothing to do with having a tougher road v. an easier road. It had to do with the porous defense of the soft-ass Lakers that still exists in this current team. The end result will not change. If Lakers overcome the Rockets it will be due to their lack of a potently offensive guard in spite of the offense from their frontline. Just like the Spurs lost to the Lakers last year.

The only team that the Lakers played in last year's road to the Finals that had an adequate, pseudo-defense were the crippled geriatric, benchless Spurs, (and they still had a horrible defensive gameplan for Kobe unlike the Celtics.) Nuggets were just an offensive team. Jazz was mediocre to above average on both ends last year, and they haven't changed at all this year.
Lakers only excel against teams with weak perimeter defense. Other than that, they're just an offensive juggernaut with spotty defense at best. They're like a rich man's 2006-2007 Suns because they have the Colonel instead of Mr. Pringles.

[ducks]

denver will play them physically as well
it will be war

[UltimA]

If they win the series, they will win it all against Cleveland in the Finals.

I don't think bitch unlike you, and I have never given a fuck to a bitch because I'm feared of sexual diseases, some of which are lethal and incurable for today's medical technologies.
