lets look at who had more free throws.
then lets look at who has more turnovers and missed free throws
Simple question. Why are they acting like they're supposed to be in the Finals? What are they doing other than making shots and getting bailed out by the refs at the right time?
This Laker team does not impress me.

"They are who we thought they were"!
Good job SD....in two more laker wins, we won't see your BS posting ass again.
Lakers 101, Magic 96
well the lakers missed some shots they usually make so the magic had a shot but since howard is terrible they were destined to lose. good game lakers you survived an amazing lewis performance. nothing to see here
i hope they savor the moment, cause dark days are ahead when phil retires
HAHAHAHAH go fishing mother er
The Lakers were just shooting some shots...
You need to stop with the gay avatars.
NO!!! Please don't, I love them
The Lakers only won because they made shots. What happens if they don't make shots? Then what?
they've had a very easy road to the le, that's for sure..similar to the road we had in 2007..
Do you have something against sexuals? is Spurstalk anti gay???
Yup...and this Finals seems like 2007, too...all too easy for the Western Conference Champion...will likely be a sweep, just like in 2007.
What happens if Orlando doesn't make shots?
I understand you are upset that the Spurs got jacked by the Mavs and TD is getting older (window closing) but really, why are you putting down a team that was 1 game away from the best record, had their collective backs against the wall in the semi's and the conf finals, responded and are playing reasonably well in the finals?
Stop hating, go for a walk
I said the Lakers had an easy road to the finals, which isn't debatable IMO..I didn't put them down..
Lakers made it hard on themselves. Utah who was spiraling out of control, the Rockets with no T-Mac then Yao going down, and the mentally frail Nuggets were a good stretch of teams to have to play. The Nuggets were playing well, but the Lakers are so good that when they play their best, no one can touch them.
Dont get it twisted guy, lakers have this wrapped up.
Nuggets were a product of the rest of the West being extremely weak..they're the same mentally weak and low IQ team..losing 2 games because you can't inbound the ball is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen..also stupid play after stupid play down the stretch, especially from Kenyon Martin..they wouldn't be anywhere near the conference finals in most years in the West..
Utah was a good 1st round opponent, no denying that..
Houston without Yao and McGrady would be nowhere near the playoffs if they had to play that way..
if Nelson was healthy, Orlando would be a big-time opponent, even with the inexperience..they made it this far due to matchups vs. Cleveland..if Boston was healthy, they would probably be the favorites for the le..
the Spurs 2007 run was weak IMO, but it was arguably even more difficult than LA's weak run right now..
I'd agree w/ that. To above posters... yes the Lakers have been inconsistent. Lamar "Snickers" Odom has been poster boy of LA inconsistency. I know he's had a back issue, but he's had this problem of not showing up for games his whole career. Yes, they made things more difficult than necessary.
If the Lakers play up to their potential game in and game out, you can make a point that they would be one of the greatest teams of all time.
Before you choke on your donuts about the above statement, LA has 1.5 hall of fame players in Bryant and Gasol (Gasol is a possibility depending on how many rings they win w/ this group). If Bynum plays like he was before the injury (i think he was avg in high teens to low 20s for a bit. If Vujachic is actually hitting his shots like last yr etc... If pigs could fly...
Thats what makes games fun... If you drew up the play where Lee had the last shot, really somewhat uncontested for a game winner, 90% of the time, he hits it. On paper, Lakers are a VERY tallented team, as are the Celtics, etc..
Why do we watch? To see people excel or choke when the money's on the table... Thats the reason i watch. That is the reason noone cares about regular season... People want to see heros and dogs. Enjoy the finals for what they are.. some of the best players on the biggest stage. (i would have bet my house on the fact that Odom and Gasol would NOT go 5/5 at the end of the game there but they did)
The Lakers think that they are future NBA champions. And i think are right
That Lakers team could kick your Spurs' ass up and down the road several times. The Lakers are the best team in the NBA, whether you like them or not--and I'm not even a Lakers fan.
It was a transitional year in the West with 1 dominant team and 7 good teams. So the run to the West was "kinda' easy for the Lakers.
But Orlando is a quality Finals opponent, 60 wins, margin of victory of about 7... much better than some of the trash thats come out of the East in the past 10 years like the 06 Heat, 07 Cavs, 02/03 Nets, etc.
