Mavs at Lakers sponsored by my check for basketball reasons

[Bynumite]

No. We're used to a different breed of management that actually knows how to build a youth movement and a bench so that our veteran players have the luxury of resting games.

Something "the teacher" has always been too stupid to do.

:lol Kobe - 24 minutes.

Spurs small market ass got lucky with the stars they had the last decade... i honestly wish you guys good luck rebuilding around kiwi.

[DPG21920]

Killa :lmao You trolling. Graceful speech by Kobe. Dude did that with about as much emotion as Kim Kardash in her porno son.

Also calling the fans classy when they are chanting we want Phil with the current coach there.

[Technique]

tbh when did Shaq become such an unfunny nigga? halftime speech was hard to watch with all the lame forced jokes.

That's the new TV personality Shaq

[monosylab1k]

Classy crowd tonight. I dont care what yall say we have great fans ...not just bandwagoners ...

:lmao right because it takes so much class and dedication to honor a guy who won you 3 titles

[Relevancy]

Shaq:depressed how quickly time passes, I was just a kid when you played with the Lakers.

Kobe's time is almost up:cry

[BatManu20]

Also calling the fans classy when they are chanting we want Phil with the current coach there.

:rollin

[ElNono]

Illegal Mexican immigrants are definitely a passionate bunch. Can't argue with that.

they got free shirts to boot... selling those would probably feed them for two weeks... I bet they're ecstatic...

[Technique]

Adam Sandler should just retire... When was his last decent movie...? Mr. Deeds?

Adam Sandler should just retire... When was his last decent movie...? Mr. Deeds?I heard his Jack Nicholson's bag boy.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lmao right because it takes so much class and dedication to honor a guy who won you 3 titles

And he needed to start sucking up to Kobe and publicly squashed their beef just to have a chance at having his jersey retired:lol..

[midnightpulp]

Spurs small market ass got lucky with the stars they had the last decade... i honestly wish you guys good luck rebuilding around kiwi.

Nope. Spurs' draft picks and budget pickups rarely don't pan out. From Parker to Manu to Splitter to George Hill to Leonard to Neal. The list goes on. Meanwhile, Kupcake treats roster building like he's playing NBA 2K. And if not for the actual teacher gifting him Pau Gasol, Kupcake's legacy as the Lakers' GM would be beyond laughable.

[007nites]

Adam Sandler should just retire... When was his last decent movie...? Mr. Deeds?

Happy Gilmore?

[DPG21920]

Also, :lmao at Shaq thanking Adam Sandler and not Kobe

LOL Kobe coaching Lakers and Paul the Clips ...

[Killakobe81]

Also, :lmao at Shaq thanking Adam Sandler and not Kobe

Didnt thank Horry or Fish either who cares?! His speech was great. It was Kobe's place to thank Shaq not the other way around ...

[007nites]

Mike James was starting cashier LOL

[DMC]

Cubes not wanting to make the playoffs.

Everyone aware of it except Coon Ass.

[midnightpulp]

Didnt thank Horry or Fish either who cares?! His speech was great. It was Kobe's place to thank Shaq not the other way around ...

Damn right it was.

I just hope Kobe's thanks Gasol, as well.

[BatManu20]

Mike James is really bad. How does that guy get PT.

[Killakobe81]

Killa :lmao You trolling. Graceful speech by Kobe. Dude did that with about as much emotion as Kim Kardash in her porno son.

Well the we want Phil was uncomfortable ... but the love shown PJ and Shaq was great.

Sandler reminds me of Seagal after he got fat and bags under his eyes. Just not the same when he's older.

[Technique]

What the flocka was that

[BatManu20]

Lol good Lord Chris Kaman is awful

[DMC]

Hey, he was starting cashier at Costco.

Wasn't funny the first time you laughed at it. Keep trying. Normally about 12 or 13 times is required.

[007nites]

HAHAHA Dirk just said "Mutherfucker" after that shot over Gasol

[Killakobe81]

Dirk's shot is so pretty

[ElNono]

so Dallas is playing terrible, terrible ball... how is this a 12 point game? :lol

[Technique]

You could tell Blake was bothered by Bryant's demand for an ill advised pass, it effected his shot.

[Clipper Nation]

I see Kaman hasn't stopped being a dumbass hick since leaving LA, tbh...

[midnightpulp]

so Dallas is playing terrible, terrible ball... how is this a 12 point game? :lol

The Lakers are that bad.

[Latarian Milton]

they will be 4 games behind LA after losing this one :cry

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

The Lakers are that bad.

Have you sent in your check for basketball reasons this week? I sent mine yesterday. It cleaned out my account :cry

[midnightpulp]

The 3rd quarter is when the Lakers typically have a mini-meltdown and blow their double digit half time lead. If Dallas was any good, this would be a 5-7 point game right now, since the Lakers have come out very flat. The Mavs just need to stop turning it over and feed Dirk. Get this thing down to single digits going into the 4th and they should have a good chance.

[Latarian Milton]

kobe's dishing out assists tonight which's the reason they're winning it tbh

[midnightpulp]

Have you sent in your check for basketball reasons this week? I sent mine yesterday. It cleaned out my account :cry

Mitch still hasn't sent me a bill.

[ElNono]

Have you sent in your check for basketball reasons this week? I sent mine yesterday. It cleaned out my account :cry

Thanks Obama!

[Latarian Milton]

kobe johnson is back, mavs fucked :cry

[Bynumite]

Hey, he was starting cashier at Costco.

Makes sense, costco keeps the cost low just like Cuban's cheap ass when he decided to let a championship team walk away :lol

[Technique]

Good rebound :lol

[DPG21920]

Yes, the Mavs (and their fans) are terrible and have a low basketball IQ, but you must not have watched the Mavs much - they always suck early and start to suck less and go on runs later.

[ElNono]

:lol 5 point game

I think hack-a-dwight making an appearance or not will be very telling as far as Mavs' tanking or not..

[midnightpulp]

Lakers having their typical 3rd quarter meltdown.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Thanks Obama!

When has that happened this year aside from the end of the Raptors' game?

[DPG21920]

Clark just shittin on dudes.

[ElNono]

so I gather Kirby gonna play 48 mins?

[Latarian Milton]

mavs are only 5pts down now as we speak, game ain't done yet NIGGAS

[D12]

Clark beasty

[DPG21920]

5-0 run for Clark in 3 seconds.

[HI-FI]

cmon Lakers, do it for your number 1 fan

Dallas is worse at rebounding than the Spurs

[DPG21920]

Clark just balling.

[Bynumite]

When has that happened this year aside from the end of the Raptors' game?

@ Dallas, last meeting between mavs and the Lakers not long ago, Kobe was 5 of 5 in the 4th quarter.

[Bill_Brasky]

Oh fuck you Mavs.

Lettin them get it back to ten in literally one trip down the floor.

[BatManu20]

Lol Mavs suck. Spurs would sweep these guys in the first round

[midnightpulp]

Well. Those two fluke offensive boards might've just killed Dallas.

[D12]

Why we aren't winning by 20 idk.


:lol Mavs

[DPG21920]

mavs are only 5pts down now as we speak, game ain't done yet NIGGAS

WRONG about dem Mavs again.

[midnightpulp]

Why we aren't winning by 20 idk.


:lol Mavs

Cause you fuckin' suck.

[DPG21920]

Webb is correct - LA is easily the most dangerous 8th seed. Avoid at all costs.

[Latarian Milton]

im so late, there's a time delay through the pacific ocean i guess :lol

[ElNono]

Webb is correct - LA is easily the most dangerous 8th seed. Avoid at all costs.

I thought you were done with this schtick? :lol

[The Third Man]

This a horrible basketball game. These teams suck.

[midnightpulp]

Webb is correct - LA is easily the most dangerous 8th seed. Avoid at all costs.

Still believing that?

Against the Spurs, I agree, since the Spurs are a chokejob waiting to happen. But any of the other top 4 Western Conference teams would ass rape the Lakers into oblivion.

[DPG21920]

That is not a schtick. For an 8th seed they have an insane amount of talent plus favorable officiating.

[ElNono]

if anything they're a 'dangerous' 9th seed right now, tbh

[midnightpulp]

That is not a schtick. For an 8th seed they have an insane amount of talent plus favorable officiating.
/
How many losses to the Wizards, Suns et al and blowout losses to contenders will it take to convince you the Lakers are mediocre trash?

[HarlemHeat37]

I like Brandon Wright's game, tbh, I'd keep him if I was Cuban..

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

That is not a schtick. For an 8th seed they have an insane amount of talent plus favorable officiating.

Whats up DPG?

[HI-FI]

That is not a schtick. For an 8th seed they have an insane amount of talent plus favorable officiating.
can't disagree with any of that. probably why Pop wants to avoid them, I don't blame them. that and TP will probably shit the beds per par.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I like Brandon Wright's game, tbh, I'd keep him if I was Cuban..

Same.

Hows life, Harlem?

[midnightpulp]

Another turnover leads to a score.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Btw, you can add Earl Clark to the list of players Steve Kerr drafted who had talent that Babby and Blanks were too impatient and stupid to be patient with.

[ElNono]

thats a clear path foul

[HarlemHeat37]

Same.

Hows life, Harlem?

Good holmes, going to Chicago this weekend, hoping I don't run into Rose and the homies at night, tbh:(..

What about you?..

[ElNono]

Dallas literally can't shoot for shit... oh well, still a 10 point game

[DPG21920]

Dirk owns Pau something nasty..

[midnightpulp]

The Lakers have been trying to give this game away since the mid-3rd and Dallas is too incompetent to capitalize.

[Killakobe81]

What a pussy Blake is right now why go right at a quicker defender?

[DPG21920]

I know this isn't exactly revolutionary, but if I am Rick I go to Dirk right now to go at Pau. Pau is the one who will crack if it is to happen.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Good holmes, going to Chicago this weekend, hoping I don't run into Rose and the homies at night, tbh:(..

What about you?..

You should go to Derrick Rose's pizza restaurant :lol

I'm getting ready to graduate. Tryna get my way to Wall Street but I'm getting stuck in Dallas on the way there :lol

[Splits]

:lol Mavs getting owned by Earl Clark, has 17 pts tonight. 16 in his last 6 combined

[Killakobe81]

Wow Blake is awful right now ...

[Richie]

Mavs only scoring 68 points on this Laker team in 40 minutes. Their offence is just horrible.

[ElNono]

this would be a good time for hack-a-dwight... extend the game and try to catch up a bit... the question is if Mavs quit already... they look like they have 0 energy out there

[BatManu20]

Kobe's getting a triple-double tonight. Only 2 boards shy right now.

[HarlemHeat37]

You should go to Derrick Rose's pizza restaurant :lol

I'm getting ready to graduate. Tryna get my way to Wall Street but I'm getting stuck in Dallas on the way there :lol

:lol why Dallas, tbh?..

[Killakobe81]

I'm in the chi week of May 6th hope to catch a playoff game

See that NBA? That's what happens when we're motivated. Nobody beats us, nobody.

Except the Wizards, Warriors, and Bucks.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lol why Dallas, tbh?..
You can PM me if you're really curious, but the bank that hired me needed people in Dallas, and this isn't exactly a bank you can dictate your own terms with :lol

[Clipper Nation]

See that NBA? That's what happens when we're motivated. Nobody beats us, nobody.

What's your record against the top 8 teams in the West again? :lol

[ElNono]

See that NBA? That's what happens when we're motivated. Nobody beats us, nobody.

:lol 9th seed
:lol motivated
:lol struggling to beat the 5th worst team in the West at home

[midnightpulp]

Mavs only scoring 68 points on this Laker team in 40 minutes. Their offence is just horrible.

Yep. A good team usually drops 68 on the Lakers in a half.

[D12]

:lol Dirk's injured

:lol too old

[D12]

Blake threeeeeeeeeee

[Richie]

Blake 3, game over. Mavs just can't score on a very poor defence.

[BatManu20]

:lol Dirk's injured

:lol too old

He rolled his ankle when he stepped on someone's foot? Has nothing to do with being old

[Richie]

Need some hack a dwight

[Killakobe81]

Blake turns it over again I don't care if he made a 3
Lol Kobe yelling at Pau shoot the FUCKING BALL!

[ElNono]

:lol 18-6 FT differential and not even hacking Dwight
:lol 7 point game

[HarlemHeat37]

You can PM me if you're really curious, but the bank that hired me needed people in Dallas, and this isn't exactly a bank you can dictate your own terms with :lol

I've never been, but it's a big city, so there's no downside living there with a good job..

At least you don't have to go to Oklahoma City or something, tbh:lol..

[Killakobe81]

Here we go again fucking Blake ... But Pau needs to shoot

[ElNono]

damn Dallas... foul that brick shooting mofo

[Richie]

Why are they fronting Dwight? Let him catch is and foul him.

[BatManu20]

The TNT crew bashing the Mavs for their stupidity..

[HarlemHeat37]

It doesn't make any sense to not Hack-a-Howard, tbh..

If the Spurs get them in the playoffs, expect Pop to order a foul on a quarter of Howard's possessions..

[ElNono]

The TNT crew bashing the Mavs for their stupidity..

it's just terrible... need to foul every time

[ElNono]

wtf dirk... :lol

blatant tanking, tbh

[Killakobe81]

Dat wulda been a dunk for Shaq

[midnightpulp]

Mavericks just can't stop screwing themselves. 3 techs thus far for 3 fuckin' free points.

[whitemamba]

lol refs

[BatManu20]

Dwight with 4 steps and the refs do nothing lol. Typical

[ElNono]

smh dallas... greb a board

[whitemamba]

Mavericks just can't stop screwing themselves. 3 techs thus far for 3 fuckin' free points.

dirk had a point tbh...

[midnightpulp]

And another fluke offensive board off a missed FT :lmao

[HarlemHeat37]

This is why the Lakers are scary, tbh..only OKC receives a better whistle, obviously..

[Killakobe81]

Kobe set up Pau by cussing him out great leader that Kobe ...

[Richie]

Dallas are horrible. Howard 3/10 from the stripe, just hack him for the next two minutes. Nobody shoots except Howard from the line, if he makes them then so be it.

[Lincoln]

Hope mavs lose tbh time to blow it up again.

Rooting for the jazz

[Robz4000]

So is Dallas tanking or are they that retarded?

[Sportstudi]

Dwight with 4 steps and the refs do nothing lol. Typical

You think they would have called that? Can't say I'm surprised.

[whitemamba]

Hope mavs lose tbh time to blow it up again.

Rooting for the jazz

as if you guys even had a shot tbh...

[midnightpulp]

Here's hoping Earl "56 IQ" Clark has a career ending injury and assumes his rightful role as a low-level drug dealer who'll be dead before 30.

[KaiRMD1]

It doesn't make any sense to not Hack-a-Howard, tbh..

If the Spurs get them in the playoffs, expect Pop to order a foul on a quarter of Howard's possessions..

Tiago is like the smartest bad free throw shooter in the NBA. They did a hack-a-Tiago so what did he do? He learned to shoot a fuckin' free throw, I don't understand why other players don't grasp that concept. I suck in one area, why don't I try to get better?

[D12]

I can totally see us beating the Spurs now.

[Lincoln]

That beard is fuckin disgusting dirk lol

[whitemamba]

how is dwight so fuckin bad from the line

[Spursfanfromafar]

Rick Carlisle needs to register in a diploma course with Pop coaching him about the "Hack-a-" strategy.

[D12]

We will beat the Spurs or Thunder.

[Richie]

Fouling Kobe? Wtf? What a ridiculous foul.

[whitemamba]

kobe on pace to play 47/48 minutes.... way to go antoni

[ElNono]

If Dirk wouldn't look so hobbled, Dallas would still have a shot even if they lose this game... Lakeshow will probably finish 2-5 at best...

With that ankle sprain though, they'll probably shut it down

[Splits]

Wow Mavs offense consists of standing around looking at each other while some holds the ball.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Is there a more mentally f****ed "superstar" than Dwight Howard?

[Technique]

That butterfly crown tattoo is gay af

[AaronY]

Here's hoping Earl "56 IQ" Clark has a career ending injury and assumes his rightful role as a low-level drug dealer who'll be dead before 30.

Good game by Kobe, Venti.

[Thread]

1 of 29

I'm a trend setter.

I set trends.

[Splits]

Like I said. Kobe with 23, 11, and 11.

When TD puts up 30 15 5 and 5 in 36 min, you can extrapolate to 40 20 7 and 7 if he's driven into the ground and plays 48 minutes. Kobe's a stud, no doubt, but this is unhealthy and if they somehow sneak into the POs the Trefs will demolish the and Kobe will be out of gas. Maybe D-ton can run Nash 44-46 as well.

[LkrFan]

:lol Still the 9th seed.

Patience mi amigo. We only have one more roadie. The rest of our games are at Staples. "Yeah, we got that!" :lol

[Venti Quattro]

Good game by Kobe, Venti.

Didn't reach 50% shooting but close, added 11 and 11 and Shaq Attack's jersey was retired with a 20-point win. It's a good Lakers day.

[midnightpulp]

Patience mi amigo. We only have one more roadie. The rest of our games are at Staples. "Yeah, we got that!" :lol

Earl Clark with the monster game: 17 points (3-5 3ptrs), 12 rebs, 5 swats (a few on _irk :lol).

[ElNono]

Patience mi amigo. We only have one more roadie. The rest of our games are at Staples. "Yeah, we got that!" :lol

Let's do a sig bet... 1 week... I win if the Lakeshow go < .500 the rest of the way, you win if they go > .500... 7 games left, so it's going to be one or the other... what say you?

[Splits]

200.00 the Lakers don't make the WCF. Put your money where your homerism is.

I'll give 3-1 odds the Lakers don't make the WCF. I'll put up $600 to win $200. Who wants that action?

[LkrFan]

200.00 the Lakers don't make the WCF. Put your money where your homerism is.

Dude, I already told you. I don't bet on things I can't control. It's not a good business move. And stop trying to steal money from me son. :nope

No deal. I don't bet on things I can't control. Besides, you'll probably welch on me. :lol

[Venti Quattro]

Until you look at the standings.

Lol don't be so asshurt. They retired Shaq's jersey and not Bruce Bowen's for crying out loud. Still a couple of more games for the Lakers to sneak in.

PLUS the Staples cheered "We want Phil!" in front of D'Antoni. It is a good Lakers day.

[ElNono]

No deal. I don't bet on things I can't control. Besides, you'll probably welch on me. :lol

lol, not even a sig bet? Yeah, I didn't think so :lol

[midnightpulp]

Dude, I already told you. I don't bet on things I can't control. It's not a good business move. And stop trying to steal money from me son. :nope

So that means you realize the Lakers don't have a chance in hell of reaching the WCF, right?

[LkrFan]

lol, not even a sig bet? Yeah, I didn't think so :lol

It is game 75 and I still don't know which Laker team will show up. So no, not even a sig bet. :lol

And isn't it past your bedtime? You need to be sleeping right about now. You know them cows ain't milking themselves tomorrow morning. :lol

[LkrFan]

So that means you realize the Lakers don't have a chance in hell of reaching the WCF, right?

Like I told Elnono - I don't know which Laker team will show up night in, night out. But, in the 2nd season, anything can happen. These are things we know.

Thing is, anything doesn't usually happen. Teams win the games/series they're supposed to (and yes, that includes 8 and Mavs sweeping your ass). Lakers are fodder. But, I still don't trust the Spurs against them (or anyone for that matter).

And isn't it past your bedtime? You need to be sleeping right about now. You know them cows ain't milking themselves tomorrow morning. :lol

Lol if the Spurs lose to this Lakers team, Good Lord

[Splits]

I'll give 3-1 odds the Lakers don't make the WCF. I'll put up $600 to win $200. Who wants that action?

Valid for the next 2 hours. And I'll throw in a spiff, if the Lakers make the playoffs you get $50 of your $200 back.

[Jacob1983]

How much money will the NBA lose if the Lakers are not in the playoffs this year?

crofl this forum is gonna get terrorized so bad. But it's likely not to happen.

I got a bad feeling about it. The reason the Spurs have been good this year is because of Duncan's resurgence. And with the Lakers featuring two 7 footers, they can definitely neutralize him.

[ElNono]

The Spurs might actually have a shot at eliminating the Lakers off the playoffs in a single game on Apr 14... I was thinking Pop might tank that game and rest, but looking at it that way he might just go for it if the chance is there...

if that happens.....kori and young husband would need to shut this shit down for good, or at least change the domain name and we can congregate somewhere else, we would never live that down.

btw son, what is the story on the hilarious sig? that a chick is smokin.

[AaronY]

I dunno, I found it somewhere... just the look on that kids face cracks me up every time...

Some of you guys are getting way ahead of yourselves. The Mormons own the tie breaker over basketball reasons and have an easier schedule than them. Please do not forget that.

[Thebesteva]

Sons, Thebest is here to spit the truth like Harlem's wife when me and Thread were taking turns on her. Lakers looked good tonight...nice to see Mavs missing the playoffs in all likelihood. Now for Mormon town. If Lakers meet the Spurs in round 1, I see a series with the Spurs being competitive, however Greg Popovich is just the mastermind and will tool with Antonio game after game. I think it will be at least a 6-7 game series but Spurs will prevail. First, the Lakers have to get the 8th seed of course. Either way I see the Lakers ceiling being the 2nd round at BEST.

i sent that pic to a friend. it's great. that kid looks happy, but he's probably too young to appreciate the dime piece he's hugging.

[irishock]

I rather have the Lakers make it than the Jazz. At least there'll be a decent first round series to watch...

not to sound paranoid like usual, but do you think Stern would let us knock out the Lakers before the playoffs? i see us wasting a lot of energy on something they pull out at the end, probably with a bunch of FTs.

[HarlemHeat37]

OKC will get the 1st seed and LA in the 1st round, tbh..unless they tank to get Houston, since its a better matchup for them..

Looking at the Lakeshow this season, I think they're beyond Stern's best work... you can't force Dwight to make freethrows... you can't make D'Antoni a savvy coach... I mean, Dallas was completely horrendous today, and it was a close game all the way to the 4th... I think it's easier when they're playing shitty teams like New Orleans... but at some point you just cant turn a turd into roses...

[Mugen]

Spurs aren't even getting the 1 seed. Spurs beat the Lakers in 6 but OKC would run roughshod over them in 4 tbh.

I was looking earlier but couldn't figure out who has the tiebreaker between SA and OKC since they split in the regular season

Spurs are up 2-1 in the season and they play the 4th game on Thursday. If OKC wins, i believe Conference record is the tie breaker.

Duh I glanced over their schedule and thought they only played twice like they weren't even in the same conference for some reason, thx

Lakers have one more roadie. :lolne - neal with it.

[Thebesteva]

This is a weird season for me because I know no matter what happens Miami ends up winning it. It's never been this obvious before, it's not even competitive. So why do we all care so much? Might as well talk about boobies.

[Jacob1983]

Lakers have two more road games but because Stern loves his Lakers so much, he lets the Clippers share the Staples Center with the Lakers so the Lakers get 2 extra home games. With that being said, I wouldn't start nut hugging on Lakers' playoff tickets just yet. The Lakers have laid some goose eggs against shitty teams this year especially at home. Didn't this great Lakers team lose to the Wizards at home?

[spurraider21]

it seemed every time they got within a game of the 8 seed they lost a game, like when they choked in the 4th against OKC or when they got romped by Indiana the same night the Lakers lost to the Bucks.

CROFL Sterling wants to save on rent that's why his Clippers are a Staples co-tenant. They used to play at the Anaheim Pond or something before the Staples opened.

[Jacob1983]

So explain to me how it's fair that both the Clippers and Lakers get 2 more extra home games than the rest of the NBA? The Clippers get 43 home games and the Lakers get 43 home games.

People want to play in Los Angeles and New York...can you blame them?

Whose troll is this?

[Killakobe81]

If Dirk wouldn't look so hobbled, Dallas would still have a shot even if they lose this game... Lakeshow will probably finish 2-5 at best...

With that ankle sprain though, they'll probably shut it down
Just when you are right about dem Lakers you say something stupid, 2-5? I will ELE or sig bet that we dont go 2-5 unless Kobe gets hurt ..

Chris Kaman played great...Just Sayin...

Dunno, the GOAT's #5 and #6 were pretty damn predictable...On the other hand, you might be a bit young for those days.
