[whitemamba]

classic laker time? up by 35 win by 1

[Thebesteva]

Lakers will win this one...but if Earl's not playing I dunno

[racm]

Clark's playing.Dwight with 4 points early

[Reck]

Last 5 minutes of the 4th is all you need to see. No need to waste 2 hours watching what you know will happen.

[ElNono]

how do you give up such a lead so quickly?

[StrengthAndHonor]

Phoenix doing its best to win this game to get closer to that sweet lottery pick which will be happily provided by none other than the great management staff of LA. :lol

Yep. In my top 3 favorite shows of all time.

[StrengthAndHonor]

Yep. In my top 3 favorite shows of all time.

Nice. I have the complete set in Blu Ray. :toast

[DeadlyDynasty]

Am I reading this boxscore right?

[midnightpulp]

Am I reading this boxscore right?

Yep. Kobe's padding his assist totals once again.

[ElNono]

zero shots for Kirby?

[kobedwight2412]

lol cant believe Kobe doesnt have one mothfucken shot in the 1st half.

[Clipper Nation]

No shots for Kirby? No wonder the Lakers are winning..... Kirby will be bricking up a storm in the second half though...

[DeadlyDynasty]

O/U on how many FGA in second half: 15

[StrengthAndHonor]

He'll start shooting in the second half. He did the same thing in Charlotte a week ago fwiw.

[gaKNOW!blee]

Kobe is so anxious to take headlines away from Lebron is not even funny. He's fully aware of what he's doing.

[kobedwight2412]

Just wondering if anyone saw Where Dwight Howard was literally hugged to stop him from gettting the o rebound and the ref just puts his hands up and no fucken foul....

Story^?

[Clipper Nation]

Kirby's first shot is a brick... what a surprise, and the lead went down once he started shooting :lol

[ElNono]

lol Will Ferrell

[DPG21920]

Come on Suns. This would be a massive loss for LA. Plus it would create tons of drama with Kobe quitting again.

[ElNono]

lol suns

[DPG21920]

Can we get Super Cool Beas in please. How is Dudley missing these layups

[ElNono]

back to back missed layups... looks like a tank job

[Bynumite]

I hate MWP so much.

[DPG21920]

Jermaine O'Scrub

[spurraider21]

I'm fully expecting the Lakers to come away with this one, but damn would it be a pleasant surprise if they lose. Would be the cherry on top of a day where OKC also lost

[DPG21920]

SCB

[ElNono]

Nash looks like he's having fun though

[ElNono]

lol Kirby

The chinese people fully support the underdog! GO LAKERS!

[DPG21920]

This PHX announcer seems to hate life :lol

[DPG21920]

Lego Suns :lol. Houston beating GS right now and UTA beat OKC. Would be a bad night for LAL.

[capek]

Lakers are such shit :lol

[NRHector]

damn are the Lakers really that bad?

[spurraider21]

watch the lakers struggle to comeback and win by 1 point... followed by a new thread on the nba page titled "watch out NBA. we back, we stacked.."

[thunderup]

Last I checked the Lakers were up with a 5+ lead. What the heck happened? :lmao

[Clipper Nation]

Suns switching into tank mode for the 4th, Lakers got this...

[racm]

9 point quarter? :lmao

[Clipper Nation]

Also, Golden State is mounting a comeback... fuck...

[InRareForm]

People are watching this game? Bunch a non playoff teams slugging it out. zzzzzzz

[D-Wade]

Kobe Bean with no field goals??? And working on a double double in assists and turnovers??? :lol

[Clipper Nation]

Yep, Suns officially tanking...

[StrengthAndHonor]

This is one of those games where Kobe's lack of judgment shows. He has been passing for the first 3 quarters which will render him cold in the 4th. Kobe being the player he is will start shooting at the worst possible time and finish the game with 5/15 completely shutting down his teammates in the process and earning another loss.

[racm]

People are watching this game? Bunch a non playoff teams slugging it out. zzzzzzz

It's like those games where they're determining draft position, but in this case the Suns gain to benefit whether they win or lose.

[spurraider21]

Markieff Morris is such a scrub its ridiculous

[capek]

O'Neal>Howard tbh :lol

[midnightpulp]

Of course the Suns can only manage 4 fuckin' points thus far in the 4th against the Laker scrubs.

[racm]

Most unwatchable team in the West. Marginally more watchable when Beasley's on fire.

[Juggity]

Watching these scrub teams go at each other like frantic invalids makes me appreciate the Spurs tbh

But Beasley plays for the Suns. Typo?

[midnightpulp]

Funny thing is Laker fans will be proud of this win and trumpet the all too familiar phrase: "We've figured it out!"

Beating shit teams like the Suns and Bobcats has become an event for them.

[racm]

thatsthejoke

[D-Wade]

Kobe still shook from that Miami game...

Win-win scenario for the Suns.

if they win, their chances of retaining the Lakers pick improve.
if they lose, their chances of winning the draft lottery improve.

[Clipper Nation]

Kirby with the complete law of averages late-game bullshit, excuse me while I puke.... :vomit:

[DAF86]

Beasly exemplifies everything that's wrong in the NBA.

[D12]

Let it all out pussy

[D12]

We're just beating the teams we're suppose to beat

[midnightpulp]

Sound and fury signifying nothing.

All that work and still didn't gain a game in the playoff race.

Lakers fans, you should twitter bomb Mitch and Jim and tell them to shut it down for the year. Let Dwight get his surgery. Your team is a blight upon the game of basketball and their play is embarrassing you as fans and paying customers. At least by calling it quits, they can salvage a bit of dignity.

[midnightpulp]

We're just beating the teams we're suppose to beat

Lol coming in here running your mouth after the least impressive win the Lakers have had since, well, the Bobcats.

It's cute their shit play and fool's gold wins are giving you hope, though. Put the Laker flag on the car antenna already?

[NRHector]

We're just beating the teams we're suppose to beat

yeah it would be embarrasing if you don't

[Clipper Nation]

Let it all out pussy

You're kidding, right?

:lol Talking shit after a pointless win over a lottery team that doesn't even help your miniscule playoff chances
:lol "73 wins and a ring"
:lol Paying for our basketball reasons
:lol Lakers

[Mugen]

We're just beating the teams we're suppose to beat

that list pretty much ends after the Bobcats & Suns tbh :lmao

[racm]

The Suns are the worst team in the West.

:lmao at winning on a night when both Houston and Utah won

[StrengthAndHonor]

MWP 6-16. Im surprised no one has called him out yet. People talk about touches and no one on that team gives Metta a crap lol.

[Reck]

LOL @ Kobe's line.

[Richie]

Lakers are bad, but this Suns team is just horrible. A number of average-to-bad players on mid level or bigger deals

[midnightpulp]

And nice hit-and-run, Blessings (aka D12).

You still got it.

[capek]

Streamers for squeaking out a win against the Suns? :lol

[Danny.Zhu]

Kobe's heroic 9 assists won the game for LA.

[racm]

Streamers for squeaking out a win against the Suns? :lol

That's Blazers-esque shit right there

[DeadlyDynasty]

I think Kobe/Nash/D12 combined for 10 pts in the 2nd half

[midnightpulp]

Wearing down. Lakers essentially have to go balls to the wall, game 7 mode every game, with Kobe, Nash, and a banged up Dwight usually playing big minutes. And given D'Antoni's love for running players into the ground, the Lakers are going to be gassed by Spring, assuming Houston and Utah choke and give up one of their playoff spots, which they probably will.

[DeadlyDynasty]

It's good to see the Warriors remember they're the Warriors, too.

Fan insurance?

Give me 1.5 to 1 the Lakers make it to the second round for a c-note (my 100 against your 150). You win if they miss the playoffs or of course lose in the 1st round.
