Hornets at Lakers Game Blog

[lefty]

Ok let's go

[lefty]

That wasn't a 2 foul shot

Fucking homer Lakers broadcasters

[trueD]

Just play your game CP3!

[trueD]

Getting physical four minutes in, nice.

[kingsfan]

Tyson should kick that punk's ass. let's go Hornets!!

[trueD]

Peja fouls Gasol at the exact moment he flubs the rock :lol

Peja wasn't known for laying fouls when he played for Kings, guess he isn't much better in N.O.

[Indazone]

hmm If the Lakers lose then the Rockets would be 4th and the Lakers would be 5th. Utah would move up to third despite their inferior record simply because they are winning their division. That would mean a Lakers/Rockets first round game. So goooooo Hornets!! Rockets want Utah.

[trueD]

Dayum Lamar sweats like a pig.

Actually...it means nothing unless all teams in your sample don't play any more games. ;)

[resistanze]

WTF @ Peja guarding Kobe

[DazedAndConfused]

I don't think we will know who plays who until the last game or so.

[kingsfan]

Well that was a fun Q :rolleyes Cp has picked the wrong night to go cold. He's got to get better, but they're all playing like shit so far.

[ploto]

That is how you crush a top opponent late in the season.

[Indazone]

wow @ Lakers

[trueD]

I hate it when after Kobe gets called for the foul he shakes his finger at the ref, with that smile on his face, like he's saying "You're an ass that time, Buddy".

[Medvedenko]

That finger wag is definitely gay....not really a fan of it.

[Allanon]

Lakers putting a good 'ol woodshed beating on the Bees tonight.

[DazedAndConfused]

This is the same kind of game we saw when we had Bynum back in January. When we can neutralize the CP3-Chandler P&R it really limits the Hornets on offense.

[boutons_]

Hornets -25 in the 2nd qtr?

Sounds like the Lakers are in playoff mode.

I'm not looking forward to Sunday.

Tim doesn't like afternoon games,

no Manu?

on national TV,

pre-playoff warmup game,

@LAL,

the Spurs' mediocre road record,

the Spurs record against 0.500 teams.

[lefty]

Wow

blow out

[trueD]

Was hoping this game could be a good one. My team is playing Portland for pretty much nothing, yawn.

[DazedAndConfused]

The game isn't over yet. This is the NBA, everyone makes runs. The Lakers need to stop shooting the 3 and get to work on the inside. Take it to Chandler often and early and get him the hell out of the game.

[ducks]

lakers were very up for this game
they want the number one seed

[trueD]

Could be, but I don't expect Lakers to let this one get away.

Kobe should really get involved with the offense early like that every game. Finding a balance between all or nothing might be in order at this point. :lol

[trueD]

N.O. within 16 off the Kobe miss...

CP3 with his 3rd foul, 9:30 left in the 3rd

[trueD]

N.O. on a 20-4 run!

[trueD]

T.O., within 10, dayum. Chandler with a completely open lane.

Phil is gonna be pissed.

[The Nba Is Rigged]

I Just checked the score and I can't believe the hornets cut it to ten

[trueD]

We get the Hornets tomorrow night and the Lakers on Tuesday night.

My diabolical plan is to let the Hornets slide and try like hell to beat the Lakers Tuesday.

[trueD]

I Just checked the score and I can't believe the hornets cut it to ten

Lakers score out of the T.O., N.O. answers.

[boutons_]

Hornets come back. 14-4 in 3rd, only -10.

I bet Lakers won't hang on.

[trueD]

Mo Pete with the 3!

Within 7 now.

[trueD]

CP3 steal, fast break lob to Chandler udnder the basket for the slam jam

[YoMamaIsCallin]

Lead now down to 5, Hornets storming back. Lakers fans booing.

I'm not sure who I'm rooting for as a Spurs fan. I guess the Hornets... to give the Spurs a better chance at the 2 seed.

[trueD]

Within 4 now.

Okay, this officially a GAME now!

[pking]

what was the biggest LA lead?

[YoMamaIsCallin]

what was the biggest LA lead?

they were up by 30 at one point.

[trueD]

Hornets come back. 14-4 in 3rd, only -10.

I bet Lakers won't hang on.

Lakers AREN'T hanging on!

Dazedandconfused said it could happen. Props to him. :lol

[kingsfan]

great comeback, that lead is down to 4. Byron must have laid into them at halftime

[trueD]

WOW Kings game is over in just a couple minutes over 2 hours. No timeouts really move a game along.

[trueD]

Lakers getting hot in the 4th.

92-77 off Kobe's 360!

[trueD]

Correction, it was a mean 180 that looked like a 360...

[boutons_]

Lakers holdoff, still +10 with 8 min left

[kingsfan]

fakers shot 32-3s? dam that's insane. They are not GS.

[ShoogarBear]

That is how you crush a top opponent late in the season.More of the knowledge we all know dropped courtesy of ploto.

[Allanon]

Whew, now it's a 6 point game....Lakers are tightening down again after it got to a 1 point game.

[ShoogarBear]

No matter how this ends up, a big confidence boost for the Hornets to come back in this one.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

man, without Manu we could we be screwed big time on Sunday

[trueD]

Lakers are doing everything right now. That jab out of bounds by Fish after Paul received the inbounds brought up two more defenders, creating the turnover. Then the shotclock violation, tick tock tick tock time coming off the clock to the tune of 24 seconds and Lakers steal the inbounds after the violation.

104-97 with 1:10 left.

[boutons_]

Congrats.

A huge, confidence-building win for the Lakers, the kind of win the Spurs haven't been able produce.

Sunday looks bad. The weather in SA will be great.

[trueD]

No matter how this ends up, a big confidence boost for the Hornets to come back in this one.

Which sucks since they're coming to Sac tomorrow. :lol

[trueD]

Way to go Lakers, another notch in your pacific banner belt.

[trueD]

Laker fans, you guys don't need Bynum. He'll just screw up what Gasol does.

We'll give you Artest and a pick, what you say?

[kingsfan]

:pctoss now I'm pissed. Well at least the bees made a game out of it.

[DazedAndConfused]

Happy for the win, but the Lakers have got a lot of work to do before we are going to contend for the championship. We need an infusion of veteran leadership because our young players aren't quite ready to deal with the pressure of playoff basketball.

Hopefully we can add some vets in the offseason and come back next year with a healthy Bynum as well. In the meantime I'll enjoy the ride, but deep down I know we aren't quite there yet.

[J Zone]

LOL

[Allanon]

Finally, got a Pac title again.

And Kings, hurry on up, I miss the cowtown bells, it's not the same anymore.

Cya Spurs on Sunday, no matter who wins, it's going to be a great game.

[Jeremy]

Wouldn't it be funny if all top 6 teams won 55 games? It could happen!

[TheMACHINE]

we better win against spurs or we'll be stuck with the suns again.

[trueD]

It definitely isn't the same for us either.

Gonna be a fun weekend of b-ball for sure.

P.S. The comic in your sig is hilarious!

[BonnerDynasty]

I don't think the Spurs want the Suns either :depressed

I am praying for a Suns/Lakers 1st round so at least one beast can be slain.

[Medvedenko]

Well, we pulled it out...barely. However the hornets hit a lot of shots and played great D. Luckily we pulled it out with some clutch D and nice plays by Kobe and Pau. The hornets have no answer for Kobe....that's the key right there.

[TheMACHINE]

Yah fuck houston for fucking up the standings LOL...why couldnt they just stay at 6!

[endrity]

Houston still has a chance to be the number 1. That's how crazy the standings are. Meanwhile Suns at 6 and Mavs at 7 are almost sure things now. Those 2-7 and 3-6 series will be amazing, no matter who the top seeds are.

[Killakobe81]

I think people are underestimating the Rockets ...i would rather play them because of no Yao ...but they will NOT be an easy out due to their defense ...
