[T-Pain]

damn 44 pts for kobe

[ratm1221]

Won't be surprised if the Lakers pull away in the 4th.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Kobe makes it that much harder for the clippers! I think the Lakers D in the first half was a flash of a good sign for the playoffs. They're lucky they have big bodies.

[T-Pain]

damn you kobe

[ratm1221]

Dang, that should have been clips ball.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

yeah, Kobe's such a bastard. Those shots are insane.

[T-Pain]

lets go clippers

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

i admire the Clips putting up a fight

The ball is falling the Lakers way :pctoss

[T-Pain]

i was wondering, how come the lakers have different lighting at the staples center this year? ive always thought about that all season, anyone know why???

[ratm1221]

I love games like this.

[trueD]

How was that not a blocking foul on Kobe, because they were outside the paint?

[T-Pain]

I love games like this.
hell yeah me too

[T-Pain]

And 1 Baaaaaabaaayyyy!!!

[ratm1221]

nice, chance for the tie

[T-Pain]

damnit get up

[T-Pain]

LOL damn he got his balls kneed...

[ratm1221]

i was wondering, how come the lakers have different lighting at the staples center this year? ive always thought about that all season, anyone know why???

Found this on wiki:

Starting with the 2006-07 NBA season, the Lakers began a marketing campaign titled "Lights Out" to promote the new lighting configuration for their games in which the arena's lights are almost exclusively focused on the court, reminiscent of the team's Forum days.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Ouch.....

[trueD]

Dayum, knarly nut job.

[kingsfan]

Ouch! They need him in the game.

[trueD]

damnit get up
:lmao

[trueD]

reminiscent of the team's Forum days.

Or:

"We're the REAL stars here".

[trueD]

Ouch! They need him in the game.
Hey KF!

It's probably temporary. Good time for a TO anyways, the Lakers are losing momentum...

[SAtown]

Wow, good freaking game. I stopped watching when the Lakers took a big lead.

Go Clippers

[trueD]

Cassell for the line-drive backboard shot :lol

[kingsfan]

Hey true.
Love this comeback. Come on Clips :elephant

[trueD]

How did Thomas get called for that foul?

[ratm1221]

Even though I'm rooting for the Clips tonight... I still can't stand Tim Thomas. He is such an ass.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Sam Cassell was always a wiley and smart baller.

[mavsfan1000]

GO Clippers. Up 6 now. Cassell is the man.

[trueD]

Hey true.
Love this comeback. Come on Clips :elephant

Been a fun game, tough not to root for the Clips. But I'm trying :lol

[schadenfreude52]

Go Clips!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

These are the kind of games where you don't really care what the outcome is if it keeps going like this.

That said, Go CLIPPERS!!

[Fabbs]

sweet drive and left handed shot by Casell. :spin :toast

Get ready for the Kobme FT parade.

[trueD]

Here come the Mavs fans :lol

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Oh crap I was sleeping what is the score?????

[kingsfan]

Clips 110-106

[trueD]

DOH, Kobe choked the 3...

[kingsfan]

Here come the Mavs fans :lol:lol you can't root for the fakers :nope We take away your kings' fan status for that.

[T-Pain]

Haha Go Clippers!!!

[trueD]

DOH, Kobme chokes the 5 footer ...

[trueD]

Smush should have passed to Odom immediately, instead of putting the ball down first.

[mavsfan1000]

Clippers up 8 now. Clutch Cassell.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

If Clippers get to ice this game, Cassell is the man who tainted Kobe's 50 point game.

[trueD]

25 point swing for the Clips, you gotta hand it to 'em.

[ratm1221]

ouch, game ain't over yet

[mavsfan1000]

Man Luke Walton is a great decision maker.

[trueD]

Nice play Lakers.

[trueD]

Magette getting to the foul line in all different kinds of ways tonight :lol

[mavsfan1000]

Clippers win

[kingsfan]

:lol @ shobe

[SAtown]

Clips > Kobes

[Fabbs]

nice football pass Sam to MaGette for the dunk.
Goodnight Lakers.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

If the Warriors run the table, they are making the playoffs. The Lakers arent winning out either are the clippers.

[ratm1221]

Fun game to watch. I really didn't expect the clips to win that one.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

bwwahaa, Cassell: we knew he wasn't going to pass tye ball, he was going to go for 80.

[trueD]

Lakers not getting to playoffs
Warriors getting to playoffs

I can't decide.

[SAtown]

LOL

Cassel: "We knew Kobe wasn't going to pass the ball..."

[T-Pain]

nice come from behind win for the clippers

[01Snake]

32 FT attempts by Clips.

[boutons_]

Amazing comeback.
Sam gave just enough to fuel and preserve the 4th qtr push.
Just amazing.

Lakers went stone cold, 17 vs 32 in the 4th

[E20]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooo

[T-Pain]

Fun game to watch. I really didn't expect the clips to win that one.
yeah me too, looks like the clips win the battle of LA

[T-Pain]

Amazing comeback.

Just amazing.

Lakers went stone cold, 17 vs 32 in the 4th
yup kobe started to freeze and odom couldnt sink his 3s

[ratm1221]

If the Lakers don't pull it together, they won't be seeing any playoff games.

[aaronstampler]

my best friend is a W's fan, so I'm upset the Lakers blew this game. But the good news is tomorrow is Phx-Lal, so either way something good will come out of it.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Is it still possilbe for the warriors to win their streak in a row and the CLiips and the Lakers to keep losing the rest of their games. So that both Clips and Warriors make the playoffs? :lmao

[boutons_]

Lakers will go to 40L @PHX, gving a 3-way 40L tie ... among the California teams!

(sorry Sac! :lol )

[trueD]

Is it still possilbe for the warriors to win their streak in a row and the CLiips and the Lakers to keep losing the rest of their games. So that both Clips and Warriors make the playoffs? :lmao
Clips and Warriors are tied, but Clips hold the tie-breaker.

[aaronstampler]

because of the last two games in their sked (Sea, Sac) it's almost impossible for LAL to miss the playoffs.

[aaronstampler]

From the way the schedule breaks down though, either the Warriors will make the playoffs or we get the 2 seed if we win out. That's my guess.

[T Park]

It wouldn't shock me for the Lakers to lose to the Kings or the Sonics.

The lakers are imploding hard core and its amazing.

Go Clippers and Warriors, make the playoffs, kick out the Lakers.

[T-Pain]

i do want to see the warriors make the playoffs

[T-Pain]

Thanks Reggie for showing us some love :lol We know Chuck won't :depressed

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

true. Lakers got really lucky they beat Seattle last Friday, because if they lost that game...

Seattle almost beat them too!!
made me mad! :lol


Sacramento probably wouldn't beat them on their last game.

[T-Pain]

Thanks Reggie for showing us some love :lol We know Chuck won't :depressed
chuck loves the spurs and we love chuckie

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

So hypothetically Golden State wins all four of their next games, which seems possible. (The only big team they're playing is Dallas :spin )

they'd be 42 and 40

or win 3 out of 4, they'd be 41 and 41

And if the Clips have a good chance of winning their 3 out of 4 wins if they're determined... 41-41 too! (losing to Phoenix most likely)

Lakers lose all 3 of their next games, they'd be 40-42...(They'll probably beat Seattle and Sac though...)


Keep your fingers crossed folks!

[Fabbs]

^^ who wins if all three finish 42-40?

Anywho great game tonight.
Thanks for watching everybody. :toast

[trueD]

Clips and Warriors are tied, but Clips hold the tie-breaker.
That wasn't a very thorough answer Lakers only have three games left to play: Suns, Sonics and Kings. Warriors have to play Kings, Minne, Dallas and Portland.

Lakers vs. Suns, fun game - game to Lakers.

Lakers vs. Sonics--Lakers had trouble with Sonics, you never know.

Lakers vs. Kings, maybe Kings give Lakers a run for their money just for old times sake. Lakeshow will be pumped, but Kings will be at home and have lots to look forward to (Bermuda, etc. - Charles). Nothing to lose. Sometimes shit happens.

Warriors vs. Kings is going to be intense--for Warriors. I fully expect them to kick our asses.

Warriors vs. Minne, I dunno.

Warriors vs. Dallas, Definitely have to give the advantage to Dallas, however Warriors could play with Dallas' psyche sufficiently if they are headed to the PO's, or Dallas could just be resting guys and give them the game, if they've clinched.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Clips have the tie breaker with Golden State apparently..

And Lakers sweeped Golden State ....sooo...Tying records favor the Lakers.

It was fun guys and gals, gonna hit it now. ZZZzzzZZZzzzz

Have a great Friday!

Yeah, I wouldn't rule out the Lakers losing their last two games by default...because I think Seattle and Sac would just want to take it to them because they're the Lakers...

but it's highly unlikely Lakers miss out the playoffs at this point. But after looking up the records by this week. It's certainly possible. Lakers still haven't clinched yet! :lol

but the window of opportunity is dependent on two teams at the same time, so they're probably comfy.

[Kobe'smyhomie]

my reply in the Beat LA thread::

Supposed to beat..

that usually translates into losing for the Lakers.


Crap! I hate being right. :rolleyes

[trueD]

:lmao @ Reggie bitching out Charles over the Happy Day's song

Exactly, all three teams--Clips, Warriors & Lakers--are dependent on the others losing. The only real advantage L.A. has is that they only play three more games, the others have to play four. But they could still muff it. Gonna be a fun week!

[SAtown]

:lol The whole fishing thing always makes me laugh. Thank God the Spurs are never on that

[ponky]

i just finished watching this on tivo (traveling)...i was laughing at halftime because after hearing kenny and chuck's comments about cassell, i was thinking that cassell might just get it together and show them that he still had it in him in the second half...nice to see the clippers come back and win this, lakers have some work to do before the playoffs, terrible play in the second half

[ponky]

:lol The whole fishing thing always makes me laugh. Thank God the Spurs are never on that

nobody gets a pass from fishing!

Clips aren't dependent on others losing. Neither are the Lakers. If either one wins out, they're in.

GS could win out and still miss the playoffs if the Clips win out as well.

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

Kings can screw things up for the Lakers, Clippers, Warriors and Hornets in their last 4 games.
The Laker fans are going to be going nuts on the call-in shows tomorrow!
:lmao

[01Snake]

Lakers and Clips BOTH still have to play the Suns. Probable loss for both of them. Golden State's last tough game is with Dallas and possibly at Sactown. I'd put my money on GS. :D

[Vinnie_Johnson]

You can bitch about the east all you want But that was two bad teams I watched last night.

[Duncanoypi]

Will Casell start tonight?

[boutons_]

"Will Casell start tonight?"

I'd be surprised. Probably like last night, Jason carrying the majority of minutes, with Sam closing. I suppose Sam needs some game conditioning, and they want to preserve his fragile self for the playoffs.
