Lakers @ Pistons game Thread

[StrengthAndHonor]

"I think we finally found our identity"
-Kobe Bryant

"Our season begins now"
-Dwight Howard

"

*Dwight expected to play
* Jose Calderon will not play for Detroit (Same player who torched the Lakers exactly a week ago, Lakers caught a break)
* Lakers are riding on a season high 4-1 season win record


Should be an easy win for the Lakers.

Lakers-101
Pistons-95

[Jodelo]

Lakers by 12.

[StrengthAndHonor]

Lakers by 12.

Now that I looked at their lineup, I'd say it could very well be a blowout win for the Lakers. Possibly 20 points similar to that T Wolves game except I believe they'll be able to hold on to their lead this time.

[DMC]

Lakers by 14 in the 1st quarter, but only win by 8.

[Brazil]

Pistons by 6 or more tbh

[Jodelo]

Stuckey with the smart 3 fouls in 7 minutes. :lol

[Mal]

Come on Pistons, start playing some defens

[StrengthAndHonor]

Monroe is going to be an All Star.

[Raven]

man i forgot how much i hate villanueva's game..

[Mal]

man i forgot how much i hate villanueva's game..

Yeah, he`s patethic

[Jodelo]

Villanueva making a case for the worst NBA player right now...

And Pistons getting blocked by the rim twice. :lol

[Bynumite]

MWP ready for Malice at the Palace round 2 :lol

[Mal]

Kobe simply dont have it.

[StrengthAndHonor]

Artest threw a jab there. He'll be suspended for 2 games at least. :lol

[Mal]

Pure stupidity

[Mal]

and now Pistons should stay in lockerroom till tommorow

[Bynumite]

Clark with the 0.4 seconds shot to end the half, spurfans everywhere shed a tear in unison... oh the memories :lol

[StrengthAndHonor]

Most spectacular 0.4 shot to date tbh.

[DeadlyDynasty]

I love me some Earl Clark

[Mal]

pathetic Callipari product

[Raven]

knight looks like a bust tbh.. sloppy ball handling and bad shootin, with little to no D.. considering how high he's been drafted and how hes being outplayed regularly by will bynum, that's just sad..

[Mal]

Pistons are like in 6 year of total rebuild, and still look like shit. No coach, one guy with potential, and couple roles.

[Bynumite]

Clark will be a free agent soon, hoping he stays with LAL but there's probably more money to be made somewhere else.

[Raven]

Pistons are like in 6 year of total rebuild, and still look like shit. No coach, one guy with potential, and couple roles.

yeah, it's disgraceful.. that's because they didn't quit on the old players when they had to, now they finally did, but they wasted a lot of time.. now trading for calderon, wtf is this, knight as sg, that's just stupid to me...

[timvp]

Real talk: If Kobe has stopped chucking for the rest of the season, the Lakers will easily make the playoffs. The best defense against the Lakers used to be allow Kobe to chuck and freeze out his teammates. Then, even when Kobe checked out of the game or the opponent tipped the ball away and one of his teammates got it, they were so cold and so rhythmless that they couldn't do anything. Take that away and these Lakers can now actually take advantage of being by far the most talented team in the NBA.

[DeadlyDynasty]

timvp, what do you think of superscrub Earl Clark?

[StrengthAndHonor]

Clark will be a free agent soon, hoping he stays with LAL but there's probably more money to be made somewhere else.

Lakers will offer MLE money. Anything more and they'll let him walk.

[irishock]

Lol Detroit right back in it

[ElNono]

every team has a shot at this Lakers

[timvp]

timvp, what do you think of superscrub Earl Clark?

Pretty damn good. Has enough perimeter skill to thrive offensively on the perimeter. Rebounds well enough to survive in the paint on D. That alone is rare in today's league. Fits really well into D'Antoni's system. He had a high ceiling coming out of college, so his blossoming didn't come out of nowhere. He might be shooting flukishly well right now but becoming an Odom-lite seems like a reasonable expectation all of a sudden.

[Mal]

yeah, it's disgraceful.. that's because they didn't quit on the old players when they had to, now they finally did, but they wasted a lot of time.. now trading for calderon, wtf is this, knight as sg, that's just stupid to me...

They did other way. They had plenty of money to spend, so they sign Gordon and Stuckey for +10mln and Villanueva for 7.

[StrengthAndHonor]

Kobe 6-16. Man, I don't know why this guy tries so hard. They're winning huge by sharing the ball, stick to the game plan.

[irishock]

Pistons PA announcer= worst in the league

[Dex]

If the Lakers make the playoffs (which is still a big IF, and is more of a statement against the shitty teams ahead of the Lakers right now than it is on the Lakers talent)...they are one and done. No cupcake teams in the playoffs.

[Mal]

the more I hear "metta world peace" the more I want to laugh

[ElNono]

Lakers not going to make the playoffs...

[Mugen]

Heard a Earl Clark interview on the radio, makes Metta seem like Maya Angelou in terms of oration skills tbh. Solid player tho.

[Mal]

Drummond impreses me

[StrengthAndHonor]

Yeahh, you know... He starts every sentence with that. Must be a NJ thing. He actually handles and even sounds like Bynum when Andrew was 19. Problem is Clark I believe is 25 now.

[Mal]

3pt game baby

[irishock]

:lmao Detroit bringing it

[Cry Havoc]

Drummond impreses me

Just now? Drummond's been killing it all year.

[ElNono]

I tell you what, you have to hand it to D'Antoni, his teams always bring the nail biting entertainment...

[irishock]

How much you want to bet that Kobe bricks the Lakers out of the game after this timeout?

[timvp]

timvp right about dat Drummond :smokin


Shoulda got in top 3 picks.

[Mal]

Just now? Drummond's been killing it all year.

I really dont watch NBA nigth games, especially Pistons

[Juggity]

Drummond will end up being better than Anthony Davis some day

[Raven]

I tell you what, you have to hand it to D'Antoni, his teams always bring the nail biting entertainment...

true.. quite a decent game for a tanking team and a .400 team

[Mal]

Drummond !

[ElNono]

Nash giveth, Nash taketh away

[Raven]

have dickswhatever already gone clubbing?

[StrengthAndHonor]

This game has a Phoenix Suns feeling to it. :lol

[Mal]

Ok, time for Kobe

[irishock]

Lmao Bynum torching the Steves

[Raven]

the thrill just tapping dat nash ass

[Mal]

Lol, automatic Clark on Bynum

[StrengthAndHonor]

Kobe, 15 points on 17 FGA. Wonderful.

[timvp]

Lakers got lucky that Calderon has to sneak back across the border. I wonder how many people he's with in the trunk, tbh.

[ElNono]

Lakers will win this... unfortunately the Pistons are a fairly dumb team, and their current record is no fluke...

[Jodelo]

Bynum going on 1-on-5 everytime. :lol

[ElNono]

cancer patient delivering...

[Mal]

Bynum going on 1-on-5 everytime. :lol

1 on 4 tbh, Nash is like a road pole

[timvp]

Dats how we do it, Charlie V.

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao Lakers needing officiating to bail them out vs Detroit.

[GB20]

this should a easy win for the lakers

[Juggity]

Will Bynum is a terrible player

[Mal]

how that was not shooting foul on peace ?

[ElNono]

Nash willing LA to victory... this is the Suns all over again...

[ElNono]

[jeebus]

[ElNono]

[TheRealCB]

[ElNono]

[StrengthAndHonor]

Kobe never fails to disappoint :lol

[Raven]

kobe with another clutch airball

[TheRealCB]

Damn he made up.

[ElNono]

that 3 the Pistons missed was their shot at winning this, tbh

[Mal]

He just lost the ball and it went to basket...

[StrengthAndHonor]

It shouldve never been this close to begin with.

[StrengthAndHonor]

I'm calling a Bynum 3 pointer here.

[Juggity]

It doesn't matter whether Kobe passes or shoots; his team sucks either way

[timvp]

Oh well, good game Pistons. Hard to win without a PG or even a halfcourt PG (Prince).

[Mal]

I'm calling a Bynum 3 pointer here.

If they shot the three here, they have stupid coach

[irishock]

Lol on a sunday afternoon with the super bowl coming up, we are watching the Lakers play a scrub team... talk about having a life.

[ElNono]

damn, that was a terrible possession...

[StrengthAndHonor]

SO CLOSE!!! :lol

[jeebus]

what kind of shit possession was that

[GB20]

the lakers play better with out Dwight

[Mal]

that`s like 7th shot to take a lead.... And refs bail out Fakers

[Jodelo]

Horrible possession!

[ElNono]

[Juggity]

[irishock]

:lmao

[Jodelo]

No foul :lmao

And he missed Knight on the curl.

[Raven]

i think it was a foul tbh drummond could have slammed it otherwise

[irishock]

That was no where near a foul on Gasol

[21_Dickings]

So fuckin' lucky.

[Koolaid_Man]

run along now we won it's over..get over it..we're on our way back... I think it's now time for the Spurs to go on a slide while the Lakers rise....we had our bad luck the first half of the season it's time Karma paid the Spurs a visit

[Mal]

the wake of the trolls

[Mugen]

Earl is allowed to miss those but the greatest FT shooter in history shouldn't be choking against Detroit in February tbh :lol

[DeadlyDynasty]

A win's a win, and when you suck on the road like they do you take em any way you can gettem. LAL needs to win 3 of the next 4 roadies

[DeadlyDynasty]

it's time Karma paid the Spurs a visit

It did last night:lol

[midnightpulp]

Game 7 mode once again and barely held on to beat a terrible Pistons team. :lol

Lakers fuckin' suck.

[ElNono]

A win's a win, and when you suck on the road like they do you take em any way you can gettem. LAL needs to win 3 of the next 4 roadies

I don't see them better than 2-2... 1-3 is likely, IMO.

[Venti Quattro]

The end game was not well-played, but the Lakers held on. I'll take it.

[Bynumite]

Don't think this would be as close with Dwight on the court, Bynum got the red carpet treatment on LAL's defensive paint... spurfan ignores that.

[Koolaid_Man]

It did last night:lol

I won't believe until I see the official Dr's report...I think it's a horrible thing that happened to that dude

[Koolaid_Man]

^ :lol

[midnightpulp]

Don't think this would be as close with Dwight on the court, Bynum got the red carpet treatment on LAL's defensive paint.

Suck with Dwight. Suck with out him.

Cute how you're a regular poster again now that the Lakers have gotten "hot."

[Koolaid_Man]

Suck with Dwight. Suck with out him.

Cute how you're a regular poster again now that the Lakers have gotten "hot."

who cares...I'll be the first to gladly and proudly admit that I usually don't post when we lose...I'm a sore loser....I post when it's convenient...if we don't make the play-offs I won't be around for you to poke fun of me..... if we win a title I will shoot gamma rays up your ass in the form of light years...that's just part of my flawed character and personality...I have no shame

[Mal]

The end game was not well-played, but the Lakers held on. I'll take it.

Lakers did everything in their power to lose this game, tbh. 2 airballs, 4 missed fts and putting Kobe to defend Bynum.

[Bynumite]

Suck with Dwight. Suck with out him.

Cute how you're a regular poster again now that the Lakers have gotten "hot."

I never left, anyway don't care what spurfan thinks about my posting habits and logging on to a web forum doesn't discredit or validate anyone's fandom tbh.

Don't take me too seriously. We need you around here. Like I told you last year, you can become one of the great Lakerfan villains if you put your mind to it.

well, as long as you know what you are, i guess there's no problem

[StrengthAndHonor]

Curious, why is KoolAidMan hated around here more than any other Lakers fan?

You know the 3 headed dog that guarded the gates of hell in greek mythology, Cerberus. There used to be a time in spurstalk history where Laker fandom on ST had its own cerberus composed of 3 members, Giuseppe, Koolaidman and Lakaluva. They trolled the shit out of spurfans, eventually they got so butthurt that they chose the pussy way out of the situation and started making bills that once approved worked against those lakerfans.

Moral of the story, don't piss off spurfan to the point of extreme butthurtness. If you want to troll do it like me, in short spurts.

[Grit and Grind]

Lol at game 7 mode ...

Lakers won't see any real game 7s this year ...
The only 7 the Lakers will see is the 7th pick of the draft

You sure they were that scary? I thought lakaluva got character assassinated by mono with the legendary, part of st lore, LOL thread, and didn't the senile guieseppe get banned for continuously spamming st with garbage one liners, as well as koolaids got pinked for posting 20 threads a day of youtubes no one gave a shit about. I agree though, spurfan can have rather sensitive buttholes when it comes to the troll game.
