I don't think there is a single sane Laker fan out there that is scared of GSW. Hell they could win tomorrow night's game and I wouldn't give a shit. They are a gimmick team that gets exposed when they are forced to play teams with dominant bigmen.
Gasol dropped 40+ on them when he was with Memphis earlier in the season. Bynum has had career games against them as well. We are tailor-made to destroy GSW when healthy. There is no way they are keeping Bynum, Gasol, and Odom off the glass while being able to defend Kobe. It simply isn't happening.

Yeah, if you guys play GS in the first round, and you have Bynum and Gasol back, you'll probably sweep them.
Whos to say if you played GS, that their small ball would have Bynum taken off the floor cause he can't keep up?
That wasn't the case the first 2 meetings with them w/ Bynum in the lineup (though we lost that 2nd game...actually, we "threw" it away).
He was pretty dominant against them. Small ball didn't bother him.
Not to mention, early in the season, Phoenix's small ball definitely did not bother Bynum.

Big ball kills the Warriors...that's the only way. You may win playing small like we did today in the second half but that's where they excel. Quick drives and quicker shots. Once you have a low post presence you nullify their drives and eventually their shots stop falling. Move on.....

LMAO at everyone thinking the Warriors are going to beat the Lakers in a 7 game playoff series.
Do I need to reiterate again the Lakers are playing without Bynum and Gasol? They are collectively our biggest weapon against this team. You dominate them on the boards and stop their penetration and they become a perimeter chucking team. They may win a game or two with hot shooting but certainly not a best of 7.

Yeah, they won tonight, but I think their style of play burns them out much faster than the way it would burn out the Suns in certain games.

People never learn. The Mavs fans were singing this very same tune last year. Anything is possible in the playoffs. And you're acting like Bynum is suddenly going to be 100% playing as if he were never injured and totally in sync with the team. Keep dreamin'. And NO ONE fears taking the ball at Gasol...dude is softer than wet Charmin.

If the bottom teams won the West as of today it would be: GS, SA, Houston, and Dallas. I can see that happening. I am confident that LA and SA will make it to the second round, but if the Lakers don't get healthy they have to be careful. In the East it's Boston vs Detroit, The Cavs and Magic may sneak into the picture but that's about it. Everyone in the West is a threat from 1-8.

In case you haven't noticed the Warriors have only beaten the Lakers once at staples center and that was 5 years ago.... and with the west being so close the excitement from Bob Fitzgerald was sooo necessary! I can tell you right now, the lakers will be a tough match up for the Warriors in a 7 game series if they have all their bigs....but I wouldn't say the warriors could not beat them, simply becasue I ahve seen boom-dizzle in the playoffs, and he is like a god damned madman at times, and monta ellis is bar none the quickest man in the league. Gimmick or not the warriors are not soft, they are not big and beefy in the middle, but we have some gritty guards and point fowards. And if we do draw the Lakers in teh first round we will once again have the underdog "back against the wall" attitude taht we relish in. Im not making any sort of predictions, im just saying dont laugh at the idea of losing a series to us, because the mavs and their fans did exactly that a year ago and look at them now, they are on the verge of not even making it to the playoffs this year.

Well I just don't know he can be a huge force, at least this year. I mean, the guy had a breakout season, but the playoffs are a different beast altogether. I'm not sold on the kid yet. I think the Shaqs, Boozers, Duncans can have a field day with a youngster like him.

I have that same view too. The EC standings are almost set unlike the West.
It will most likely be:
1 Boston
2 Detroit
3 Orlando
4 Cleveland
5 Washington
6 Toronto/Philly
7 Toronto/Philly
8 Atlanta/NJ
If the top 4 seeds go through to the semis it will be Boston vs Cleveland and Detroit vs Orlando. The 2 seed is good because the Pistons have been money against Orlando. (There 10 game winning streak against them was barely broken earlier in the year by a game winning bank shot by Rashard Lewis)

Andrew Bynum has the best eFG% of any center in the NBA, which means opposing centers shoot the worst FG% against him. I'm not worried about his defense. You are just hating, plain and simple. Duncan stuggles against C's with length to challenge his shot and Bynum has just that.

The Lakers won't need Bynum to do a damn thing on offense. All we need is his defense, that is why him not being 100% won't matter so much. Gasol will take the offensive load away from Bynum.

Well not to mention Orlando as a team has never been to the 2nd round. The Pistons will probably blow them out in 1 or 2 games. I still think that series would be fun to watch, the Magic have a great offense. I saw that highlight, btw, and that was a tough shot.

To get past the champs you will need some offense from Bynum. Kobe can only do so much. If Bynum isn't a scoring threat than the Spurs can get away with double teaming Kobe and Gasol.

This game (and tomorrow's) isn't about whether or not they can beat you in a 7 game series. The remaining games are about who get's homecourt, and 1 game seperates the #1 seed from the #6 seed. So I would say losing at home is pretty crucial....especially since Kobe won't get the MVP if LA doesn't get a top seed.

:lol that seems to be a common saying these days. Every team in the NBA has a long C... ever since hes been in the league..
How did Desagana Diop fair in the 06 playoffs? the dude has a 9'5" standing reach... consider that Yao Ming's is 9'7" being half a foot taller.
It may take Duncan a half or maybe one game to figure out an opposing defense... its inevitable.
On to Bynum... i dont think GSW beats LA with Bynum... but it certaintly wont be because of his man to man defense.

Lakers played like shit, then blew up in the third. Jax killed us with those 3's at the end of the game. Not surprised at all that we lost. Wouldn't be surprised or upset if the Lakeshow lost tomorrow as well. Golden St. is a very good team and is really tough to beat when you're missing two 7 footers. Hope we matchup with either them or Denver in the playoffs though. A healthy Laker team should dominate either of those two teams.

I loved watching Golden St. destroy the Mavs last year and B Davis is one of my favorite players, but I can't see them beating a healthy Laker team. Golden St. is weak inside and the Lakeshow will have two 7 footers in Bynum and Gasol to throw at them. No way I see them beating the Lakers.

Well, most Warrior fans hate the Lakers but its not like our "championship" anymore. Maybe when we were irrelevant, but not at this point. Im not going to sit here and try to convince laker fans that the Warriors have a chance at beating them in the playoffs because there will clearly be no headway made in doing so, as most laker fans are hard headed. The main reason I don't like a lot of Faker fans (not all) is because they consistently show up to Oracle Arena and act as though they are huge die hard fans, when it reality don't even know anybody on the team except Kobe. Also they don't know shit about basketball yet feel the need to act as though they do. I'm not sure if all laker fans are like this, however there is a plethora of them here in NorCal so by personal experience I hate laker fans...
Please, Warrior fans are far worse. Hell Warriors didn't even have fans until last year! Talk about the epitome of a bandwagon fan-base. And you won't convince anyone here that GSW can beat the Lakers in the playoffs because THEY CAN'T AND THEY WON'T.

Why is there always a thread when the Lakers lose on this forum? No other team gets the pub that the lakers get, but of course, no other team is more successful than the Los Angeles Lakers. It's funny how so many assumptions are made after a lakers lose, without 4 players, 3 of which are Centers leaving the Lakers centerless! Pathetic!
The Warriors would not give the Lakers any trouble with Gasol and/or Bynum Please don't compare us to the mavs of last season which came into that series against GS scared. We are not the mavs. The Lakers have a low post game and a coach that knows how to make adjustments, unlike Avery of last season. Bynum would have a smooth transition against a team like GS because all the lakers would have to do is lob it to him all game. GS has no one to stop him even at less than 100%. Gasol, although soft and not the best defensive player I've seen has played good defense in spurts (like that game saving block on Aldridge last time they met when Aldridge was eating him alive all game) They are both excellent low post players, Lamar was having his way today, what do you think it would be like for Gasol and Bynum?
Lakers take out the Warriors in 5 if they meet. Book it!

The Lakers being bounced in the playoffs the last 2 years had more to do with us being in rebuilding mode than anything else. It takes time to rebuild the pieces after a SUCCESSFUL championship run, something Suns fans will never know about. The fact that the Lakers did it in 4 short years only missing the playoffs ONCE is nothing short of astounding. In fact, it is one of the quickest rebuilds in sports history.
The facts are the rest of the NBA hates the Lakers and their dominance. Now that we are back they hate us even more, nothing new here. When your team has been in half of all NBA Finals, you've got to expect this level of hatred from other team's fans.

It has nothing to do with being uppity. It is what it is! The Lakers are the best franchise in NBA, our record speaks for itself. The fact that the lakers were bounced out of the playoffs the last couple of years has no bearing on today. The suns have been bounced from the playoffs their entire existence in the NBA, doesn't mean they will again this season and I don't see Lakers fans throwing that up in your faces. I for one, like the Suns because I'm a big Shaq fan.
The warriors played a good game last night and they deserved the win. SJax was clutch! There is no disputing that. No one's trying to minimize their accomplishment last night but the truth of the matter is that the lakers were missing key players last night. It is what it is! I personally feel that all the lakers need to defeat the Warriors is just ONE center, I really don't care which one and I would feel confident in beating the Warriors in a 7 game series.

The Pau Gasol trade might not have ever happened if Bynum would not have gotten injured. They were winning before that trade. So what the Lakers did was rebuild their team and add pieces to become a contender again. It was a great job by Mitch and the Lakers organization. Your team has taken 23 years to be in contention again, so to blow off the Lakers accomplishment in 5 years is asinine.

Did what in 4 short years? This year's Lakers team hasn't accomplished shit yet. Unless the Lakers get at least to the NBA Finals this year, it's not a successful rebuild yet. You jumped the gun a little with that comment.
And, as for one of the quickest rebuilds in sports history, look at what the Spurs did after David Robinson retired in 2003. They won a championship in 2005 with new core players. Why not "rebuild" while winning championships at the same time?

Last I checked the Spurs still had Manu Ginobli and Tony Parker in 2003, they didn't rebuild so much as retool their bench players. That is much easier to do, there is no shortage of veteran ring chasers in the NBA.
And since when does rebuilding = winning a championship? All I'm saying is the Lakers are back in contention after 4 short years, there is no denying that fact. A team consisting of Andrew Bynum, Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, and Kobe Bryant is going to do some damage when healthy and fully integrated together. The best part about it is all the core players are young enough to play at a high level for the next 5 years, at which time the young stars (Bynum) can start shouldering the load.

03-24-2008, 12:01 PM
Anyways back on topic, someone over at LG said it best about the GSW/LAL matchup
I for one would really love to see the Lakers get the Warriors in the 1st round. The Warriors thrive against teams that they can go small against because nobody plays small ball as well as they do. The Warriors forced Dallas to go small last year in the playoffs because Dampier, Dirk and Diop were not able to punish the Warriors in the post (namely because none of them are good post players), and once the Mavs were forced out of their game, the series was over.
The Lakers, on the other hand, typically force the Warriors out of their game and make them have to go big and abandon their small ball. With Gasol and Bynum out right now, the Lakers can't do this (Ronny & Odom aren't any bigger than Biedrins & Harrington), so essentially the Lakers are forced to play small ball against the team that does it the best. But this will not be the case if the Lakers play the Warriors in the playoffs. The Warriors would get absolutely mauled by the Laker frontline attack in the playoffs and would be forced to have to try to go big and go away from what works for them, and the Lakers would really just cruise to victories.
Remember how effective the severely under-talented Lakers did two years ago in the playoffs against Phoenix just because the Lakers forced the Suns out of their small ball game by using Kwame Brown and Lamar in the post? Imagine Phil employing that strategy against an even smaller team in the Warriors but with not one but two 7 footers who are actually very very tough to guard down low. A first round matchup with the Warriors would be an easy one for the Lakers. Don't let last night's game or tonight's game mislead you into thinking that's what a series against them would look like.

I made that comment because you said that you were not born when the lakers won their titles. That would make you what? 5 years old? The Lakers are tied with the Spurs for the most titles this decade!
Okay, I was just talking trash about the Spurs titles, trying to minimize their accomplishments like what you're trying to do with the lakers. 4 titles is a great feat and I will give them their props for it but compared to the lakers accomplishments, it's nothing to brag about.

Look at the Laker roster the last year they had Shaq and compare it to now. Outside of Kobe Bryant every single position has changed. That's a complete rebuild from top to bottom. And rebuilding has never meant winning a championship , it means getting your team back into contention. For fuck sakes are you really this dumb?

That still makes 9 titles you fucktard, which is more than any other team in the NBA outside of BOS (who won the majority of their titles in the 50's and 60's as well with limited competition). The Lakers have managed to win titles in the NBA in just about every decade it's existed. Participating in half of all NBA Finals is a mind-boggling accomplishment.

Oh I agree. Some people in this thread forget that the Lakers are without two starters, which happen to be two very good frontcourt players. It's not surprising that the Lakers lost last night and will probably lose 1 or 2 more games before Gasol comes back. It also wouldn't be surprising if they lost more because Bynum still hadn't come back. A lot of Spurs fans on this board like to use 1 game as an example representing a team as a whole, yet they criticize opposing teams' fans that do the same to us. One loss against the Warriors without Gasol and Bynum doesn't mean the Lakers suck against the Warriors or will lose to them in the playoffs.

hey "fucktard" (as you like to say)....you're on a SPURS post board. For God's sake, its in the friggin web address....
of COURSE you're going to hear some Spurs fans excited that the lakers lost, it helps our seeding in the end. Especially when you have the laker trolls in here talking shit all the time about how great the team is & how theyre going to wax GSW at home & the lakers own them...
if you dont like take your ass to a laker post board, where im sure there are threads talking about the spurs 4 game losing streak...
get over yourself and check your bullshit ego at the door. remember...SPURStalk.com not lakertalk.com :nope
Here comes the insult, which is a clear sign of ownage! This is the NBA forum for all teams, I'm not posting in the Spurs forum.

I agree that the Lakers would beat the Warriors in a series if healthy, as long as you don't play their style of ball or they don't shoot insane %'s for the series. But please, PLEASE stop gloating about the team rebuilding so fast. Just this summer 80% of the people in LA, including KOBE who wanted out, thought the team was doing a horrible job and wasting his prime years. They suddenly didn't start doing a good job because Memphis chose to give away a stud PF for nothing. But hey, luck counts too and now the team is in prime position to do some damage.

to be honest, if there are basketball gods the lakers will never win another championship with kobe. I have never heard a laker fan accept a loss as a being a loss, there is always some sort of bitch ass excuse.
don't all team fans bitch?

that just goes to show how ignorant laker fans are, people never paid attention to the warriors for 13 years so they assumed because they were bad that they had no fanbase....its not the case...even with them being the worst team in the league we still would draw 16,000 per home game. We had a very frustrated fanbase , sure, rightfully so but we never actually left them. We came out in numbers to boo week asses like mike dungleavy. Granted we are drawing way more fans now that we are good, but that will happen with any franchise.
Most faker fans are very smug, in fact they are so smug all the smugg that seeps out of their asses at the games blocks the light from shinning over the stands, thats why its so dark!

Look Nick you seem like a nice guy, but honestly you don't know the 1st thing about Laker fans. Yes there are a lot of bandwagon Laker fans, it happens when you are the best franchise in the NBA, but there are FAR more diehard Laker fans that have been with the franchise in all of the down years. Our attendance is perhaps the best in the league because this city LOVES basketball period. We don't have a football team, the Dodgers suck, and nobody watches hockey so this is as good as it gets for us.
This "smugness" that you perceive is due to the fact that Laker fans are used to winning. They aren't happy to see their team just make the playoffs like Warrior fans. For Laker fans, the goal is a championship. Warrior fans, OTOH, would be happy just to make the playoffs and get out of the 1st round again.

you really are arrogant son of bitch aren't you? Too bad your life must be so pathetic that i bet your whole existence is on how the Lakers perform?
Do you even work because you seem to be on this message board 24/7?
Damn Adam who the hell pissed in your Cheerios this morning? You know we are all just fucking around right? I actually agree with you, past championships don't really mean shit.

That's a 3-2 road record against 5 playoffs teams without the big fellas. The Lakers are on a mission. Should be smooth sailing from here on out! :toast
