lakers getting screwed by the refs.

[Allanon]

After that half, I have a feeling the Lakers are going to beat the hell out of the Thundah next half.

[The Franchise]

51-52 at the half

[lefty]

lakers getting screwed by the refs.
by being screwed, do you mean not being bailed out?


Just toss your PG glasses already

[PuttPutt]

Thanks for not referring to them by that bullshit moniker they use now.

That bullshit moniker is what they are known by now. Fuck them, I used to get to enjoy a Spurs-Sonics matchup in Seattle, since I live 2 hours from Seattle. The Thunder are dead to me. So fuck them & their ownership that moved them.

open your freaking eyes...lakers are getting hit every time down the floor and no call while thunder are getting garbage calls.

[bostonguy]

What is the latest with Gasol's injury? Any report on how long he will be out?

Oh shut the fuck up. Lakers are clearly getting fucked by the refs.

[KSeal]

MRI results haven't come out yet. He was working out before the game though so that's a good sign.

[lefty]

open your freaking eyes...lakers are getting hit every time down the floor and no call while thunder are getting garbage calls.

Actually Thunders are hitting the ball

but don't worry, Etan Thomas has just pissed Kobe off with his trash talking

Kobe is gonna kill them after the break

[lefty]

Oh shut the fuck up. Lakers are clearly getting fucked by the refs.

What? :LMAO

OMG that's vintage homerism

[KSeal]

Actually Thunders are hitting the ball

Yeah, to end the half Kobe wasn't hit of the wrist at all. All ball says the spurfan.

[lefty]

WoW rofl

[Indazone]

wow..could Durant and co actually pull it off?

[carrao45]

I love Fish, but with his inability to defend anymore, Farmar should be starting

[LnGrrrR]

Wish this game was on Directv for free lol. I want to see durant/Westbrook pull some crazy stuff off heh

[redzero]

The Lakers should trade that Bryant fellow. Dude's a scrub.

[DPG21920]

Clean block.

[IronMexican]

Clean block.

It looked like Green met Artest's entire body.

[HarlemHeat37]

Durant mauled on one end, Green clean block on the other..that would have been one of the dunks of the year had the Laker ref not interfered..

[in2deep]

LOL Lakers

[DPG21920]

It looked like Green met Artest's entire body.

Please.

[HarlemHeat37]

looks like OKC won't be able to pull it off, too much stupidity..

[DPG21920]

lol showing a clip of that play and everyone saying no foul.

[flamingdts]

What pisses me off is how the Laker fans are quick to blame the ref for their losses when clearly they're the ones with the referee treatments.

So pathetic.

[HarlemHeat37]

Imagine what it would be like to be a Lakers fan?..they never have to worry about refs..the only poorly officiated games to Laker fans are the ones that are called fairly..

[HarlemHeat37]

Kobe's defense has been horrible so far this season..how does he make all-NBA defensive teams?..

[Chieflion]

Come on OKC, win this.

[Allanon]

OKC confused now. Laker veteran leadership showing now.

Young team, they'll get better with more end of game experience.

[redzero]

D-Fish with the save.

[DPG21920]

Durant looks a little gassed. He needs to learn to pace himself like Kobe.

[IronMexican]

Lakers sucking.

[redzero]

Nice travel.

[HarlemHeat37]

Man, I wish the Spurs had Thabo..

[redzero]

Kobe clutch.

[flamingdts]

Finish em off Durant.

[in2deep]

LOL Fakers

[Kai]

lol Air ball

[IronMexican]

Wow, Durant needs to find a better shot than that.

[HarlemHeat37]

Durant has been beyond horrible down the stretch..coming off a 3-21 game, isn't he?..

I'd go to Westbrook there, Fisher can't guard anybody..

[redzero]

What the fuck?

[Chieflion]

What kind of shot is that? Stupid coach?

[DPG21920]

Oden>Durant. That was some stupid a** sh*t. He is gassed.

[Juanobili]

.....ah come on.. lol

[Jeremy]

He left a ton of time on the clock!

[HarlemHeat37]

fuck..I have a feeling this will be one of those games where Kobe sucks all night, makes a buzzer-beater, everybody ignores the bad night..

[Mr. Body]

Durant terrible in this quarter. It's been Sefolosha, Green, these other guys.

[HarlemHeat37]

man-crush on Thabo..do us a favor Presti..

[Chieflion]

Nice, overtime!!!! Lakers turned it over.

[redzero]

Did OKC have another time out?

[Mr. Body]

Man is OKC a ton of fun to watch. Incredible job by Presti.

This game should be over. That Green block on Artest at the rim -- the block of the year, bar none -- shouldn't have netted any points.

[IronMexican]

Ot.

[in2deep]

lakers choke

[IronMexican]

Did OKC have another time out?

No

[Allanon]

:lol

that was good.

[Mr. Body]

man-crush on Thabo..do us a favor Presti..

I think he plucked him away from Chicago -- those idiots -- with a 2nd rounder. I felt we missed one there.

[Chieflion]

Westbrook's athletic ability is freaky.

[Allanon]

I always give mad props to Artest. My 2nd favorite Laker now that Ariza's gone.

[HarlemHeat37]

Artest is having a great night, his chucking is going in tonight..

Durant is missing chip-shots now..

[HarlemHeat37]

Durant is choking hard now..

LOL that foul on Odom was weak..

[Chieflion]

Westbrook almost gave it away there.

[DPG21920]

They need to just use Durant as a decoy right now. Watch him run, he looks likes his legs weigh 500 lbs.

[LnGrrrR]

Yikes, has the lakers bench even hit double digits yet?

[Chieflion]

Of all people, Etan Thomas gets free throws.

[Mr. Body]

Odom did something other than foul!

[Allanon]

Yikes, has the lakers bench even hit double digits yet?

I doubt it...they're a sorry bunch right now.

[Mr. Body]

Yikes, has the lakers bench even hit double digits yet?

Their bench is garbage.

[redzero]

Who can make the sun rise?

[Chieflion]

Lamar fluke shot....

[Allanon]

Lamar is the Package.

[Chieflion]

Game is tied at 97. Go OKC.

[Danny.Zhu]

Overtime...Are you kidding me...

[HarlemHeat37]

Kobe got a bad break there..

[Chieflion]

Kobe tried to push off a little there. I think it is the angle.

[Mr. Body]

Fisher is such a cock.

[PuttPutt]

Weak call on Fisher

[HarlemHeat37]

Durant with the same bad break..

[PuttPutt]

Kobe should have that called on him all the time

[redzero]

Goddamn! Kobe is garbage! Trade his ass.

[Chieflion]

Stupid ball, go in already...

[Chieflion]

Jeff Green, why choke now?

[HarlemHeat37]

Green choking with a missed FT..

Thunder need to do some quick growing here..

[PuttPutt]

Do I go as far as to say the Lakers win?

[PuttPutt]

Smart TO

[flamingdts]

I always wondered why the Lakers are always blessed with such an easy start to their season. They get crap loads of home games, and their road games are against scrub teams.

[Mr. Body]

Why no Harden? He was playing well.

[PuttPutt]

The Thunder at least are a scrappy team. They're young, but they at leat play.

[PuttPutt]

Stupid shot by Durant

[Mr. Body]

Durant has been tuurrrrrible.

[DPG21920]

Durant, tisk tisk.

[The Franchise]

Kevin Durant Just lost the game.

[redzero]

Wow, Durant.

[Chieflion]

This is terrible, I would rather they not call a timeout.

[HarlemHeat37]

Durant choking some more..

[flamingdts]

Nothing gets past you, you fucking genius.

Same for you, but you should be glad the Lakers are the ones who are being helped.

[redzero]

Kobe with the rape face.

[Allanon]

I always wondered why the Lakers are always blessed with such an easy start to their season. They get crap loads of home games, and their road games are against scrub teams.

Grammys/Award shows in LA...they have one of the roughest road schedules in January every year. Lakers pay for it in double later on with lots of B2B's.

[PuttPutt]

It still amazes me that all these women still cheer for Kobe (the alleged rapist)

[in2deep]

LOL Durant missed last 5 shots and lakers still can't put this one away

[Chieflion]

Take your fucking time.....

[HarlemHeat37]

Wide open 3 missed..

Thunder choked here, especially Durant..

[PuttPutt]

Artest shut Durant completely down in the second half...


For the most part

[Chieflion]

Miss the 2nd, Lamar.

[HarlemHeat37]

Artest played some good D in the 2nd half, Durant still missed a good amount of easy looks though..definitely a choke job..

[evi11emons]

air ball

[Allanon]

Ron's gotta shave a lock into his head.

[PuttPutt]

Odom sucks my balls

[Chieflion]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, epic choke.

[redzero]

LAMAR, what the fuck?

[DPG21920]

lol lamar. total package.

[flamingdts]

O fucking Dom.

[Chieflion]

OKC lost, but Lamar Odom's air ball free throw is still funny to see.

[DPG21920]

I don't credit Artest for this one. Durant gassed himself. Artest played solid on him, but Durant did himself in more.

[PuttPutt]

Lakers flex their muscle??(as the announcer says) Lakers got lucky.

[flamingdts]

The Lakers didn't win this game, OKC lost it with several choke jobs and stupid decisions.

[The Franchise]

The Thunder threw this game away. If this Lakers team shows up tomorrow night we will run them into the ground.

[LnGrrrR]

So was this game about poor Laker play, good OKC play, or some combo?

[Mr. Body]

Grammys/Award shows in LA...they have one of the roughest road schedules in January every year. Lakers pay for it in double later on with lots of B2B's.

Tears. I am crying.

You're right. Ever since they relocated the Oscars to Fresno it's been much better on the Lakers' schedule.

[iggypop123]

46 min for a sick kobe with gasol out of action. wow just perfect timing

[Mr. Body]

So was this game about poor Laker play, good OKC play, or some combo?

OKC is extremely scrappy and talented, but not seasoned. If Durant shows up with his head on strait, they win going away.

The Lakers have 3-4 great players but the rest of the team is pretty crappy. It will be a lot of heavy lifting for the starters all year.

[Allanon]

So was this game about poor Laker play, good OKC play, or some combo?

Stupid Laker turnovers.

Defensive intensity by the Thunda.

Playing on NBATV.

Stupid 100pt jinx by the announcers.

4th quarter young guys playing against a veteran team.

[21_Blessings]

The Thunder threw this game away. If this Lakers team shows up tomorrow night we will run them into the ground.

You're more delusional than Spurs fans.

[DMX7]

that would have been a bad loss.

[The Franchise]

You're more delusional than Spurs fans.

We'll see tomorrow. If they play like they did tonight they will lose badly. Quote this shit.

[PuttPutt]

ippgy - love the ladies in the sig

[Chieflion]

You're more delusional than Spurs fans.
He is correct. Did you even see the missed open shots, free throws, Durant getting tired after carrying the team over the 1st three quarters?

[TJastal]

Durant sucks, the OKC are never going anywhere with him as the centerpiece.

10-24 (0-8 from 3), 28 pts yet 7 turnovers.

He takes horrible shots, that shot at the end of regulation where he had 20+ seconds the best shot he could get was a long 3 ball when your 0-7 for the night? C'mon already.

[benefactor]

Helluva game. Dirk stole the show tonight though.

[PuttPutt]

We'll see tomorrow. If they play like they did tonight they will lose badly. Quote this shit.

Poor rockets fans:rollin

[PuttPutt]

I like how we can go on the road with stars down, Kobe sick, and kick the fuck out of teams.

I wouldn't say you "kicked" the fuck out of them. A win is a win though/

[The_Game]

getting tired at age 23? LMAO

idiot

since when did he carry them through 3 quarters? did you watch the game?

[Mr. Body]

I like how we can go on the road with stars down, Kobe sick, and kick the fuck out of teams.

What game did you just watch?

[Allanon]

Gutsy win by the Lakers.

Kobe sick
2nd best player out

All Star Bynum steppin' up 22 and 10.
Ron Ron shooting 6-8 and clamping down on Durant

Pumped up and fully healthy Sonics

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

i hate the Thunder. They always play the Nuggets tough and Durant turns into Jordan when he plays vs Melo :drunk

[Chieflion]

getting tired at age 23? LMAO

idiot

since when did he carry them through 3 quarters? did you watch the game?
28 points over 3 quarters is not carrying the team where no one scored double figures with the exception of Green in those 3 quarters? You got something you are smoking? You got the win, be happy with it. Besides, Durant is like 21 years old, not 23. He has to work on his conditioning.

[PuttPutt]

[quote=Allanon;3799206]Gutsy win by the Lakers.

I hate the Lakers, but I'll give them that.

[jdev82]

lamar odom should just kill himself. i think its hilarious how people think that just because he won a ring that means hes not still one of the leagues premier chokers.

[cobbler]

I always wondered why the Lakers are always blessed with such an easy start to their season. They get crap loads of home games, and their road games are against scrub teams.

It's because there are other things going on at Staples later in the season. We always have an extended road trip. It all evens out. You play 41 home and 41 away. If you play all the crap teams early...it only means you get to tough ones later.

The Staples Center happens to be the home of the LA Clippers and the LA Kings also. It also hosts Grammy’s, the World Figure Skating Championships and a ton of other events like concerts, circus etc. Each season the Lakers have a “Grammy road trip” which is the equivalent of the Bulls circustrip or the Spurs Rodeo trip. The Lakers Grammy trip is usually the longest road trip any team has each year. They also play on the West coast which means they travel more miles than almost any other team.

[ElNono]

Durant choked like it was nobody business.
TBH, Lakers look fairly average without Gasol. It might just be that it's only a few games intothe season.
Anyways, entertaining game.

[Allanon]

Gutsy win by the Lakers.

I hate the Lakers, but I'll give them that.

I don't mind people trashing the Lakers and talking shit, that adds to the fun.

But giving credit, that's un-expected and very cool. :toast

[HarlemHeat37]

I wonder how many hoes Mr. Buss sends out to Jerry West every night..he must have upped the quota with how the Lakers look without Gasol..

[21_Blessings]

Is this supposed to be a haiku?

[The Franchise]

Rockets getting some dick tomorrow night.

Have you been watching us this season? Do you really think you can show up in Houston like you did tonight and win? If you do you'll be sad as hell after the game tomorrow night.

[iggypop123]

i think the lakers play 20 back to backs this season. does this stop your bitching for all the home games?

[Allanon]

Have you been watching us this season? Do you really think you can show up in Houston like you did tonight and win? If you do you'll be sad as hell after the game tomorrow night.

If I've learned anything watching the Lakers, they play up and down to the competition. After a sloppy game today, they'll look to rebound on the over-achieving Rockets.

No disrespect to your hard-working team; but they're going to get stomped tomorrow.

[KSeal]

The Lakers have 3-4 great players but the rest of the team is pretty crappy. It will be a lot of heavy lifting for the starters all year.

Well the Lakers won 65 games and the NBA title last year with those same crappy players so talk whatever shit you want. And obviously Pau will take a ton of pressure off everyone when he comes back.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

i think the lakers play 20 back to backs this season. does this stop your bitching for all the home games?

Nuggets play 22, including 3 sets of b2b games in 10 days during this east coast road trip. Lakers get a hand with a home heavy schedule to start.

[21_Blessings]

Have you been watching us this season? Do you really think you can show up in Houston like you did tonight and win? If you do you'll be sad as hell after the game tomorrow night.

Do you really think Ariza is going to have a good game? Ron is going to be all over him while Kobe will go into "time to destroy my little brother and put him in his place" mode on offense.

How is Houston even going to guard Bynum? He's on fire right now.

[The Franchise]

Its gonna be a cake walk in Houston tomorrow.

I agree. :king

[21_Blessings]

Lakers get a hand with a home heavy schedule to start.

Lakers get a fucking 8 game east coast road trip in the middle of winter. Quit your whining.

[j.dizzle]

nah the christmas game is at staples...sloppy ass game tonight but to have 27 turnovers & still pull out a win..ill take it hahaha

[cobbler]

Nuggets play 22, including 3 sets of b2b games in 10 days during this east coast road trip. Lakers get a hand with a home heavy schedule to start.

How is that a hand exactly? So as the season is 3/4 complete and bodies are getting fatigued etc they go on long road trips. In the end... all teams play the same amount of home and away games. Lame argument.

ohhhhh btw..... Lakers have the most back to backs played on the road at 18 games

[cobbler]

Have you been watching us this season? Do you really think you can show up in Houston like you did tonight and win? If you do you'll be sad as hell after the game tomorrow night.

Yes, Yes, Doubtful.

[KSeal]

Lakers should trade Morrison for AI, seriously. He'd be a huge scoring threat off the bench and may be happy doing that on a winning team that has a great chance to win a ring. If he's a cancer and sucks then just send him home, it makes no difference cause Morrison won't see a second of action this year anyways. Salaries match up, and he'll continue to bitch and be a cancer in Memphis cause that team will continue to lose so they probably will want to move him soon.

Yeah Iverson is going to accept coming off the bench for Fisher. AI sure has a history of sacrificing his game for the betterment of the team.

Genius plan there.

[KSeal]

He's never been coming off the bench for a winning team. The Lakers have a horrid bench that can't score for jack shit. Why not trade a completely useless player in Morrison for a really good scorer. If it doesn't work out cut him and all is back to normal.

[KSeal]

Great news. I guess Pau's injury isn't so bad after all.

Thanks, I didn't see that yet.

I figure he's going to skip the game against his brother to give him King for a day status.

I'm guessing he'll be back Sunday versus Chris Paul

[KSeal]

That'd probably be smart. Marc usually owns the shit out of Pau :lol

Because everyone knows it wouldn't work.

[KSeal]

Because everyone knows it wouldn't work.

Ok, then they should try and trade Morrison to the Bucks for Charlie Bell. Just do something to help the bench. Farmar and Vujacic are complete trash.

[flamingdts]

Morrison is worth nothing. The guy has done nothing so far, absolutely nothing, besides his stupid NBA live commercial.
