Let's give some props to the Lakers

[lefty]

I'm not taking anything away from the Spurs

I still hate the Lakers

Yeah, we almost chocked.

But on the 2nd tough road game of Back2back nights, the Lakers found a way to stay in the game.

Good job Lakers.

And You

[Yorae]

Yeah good job.

Screw them all.

FTL. They sure played great tonight.

I give the Fakers all the credit in the world for one heckuva performance. Especially considering they were on the 2nd night of a B2B. I can't stand Kobe personally, but he is an absolute joy to watch. You just knew that the 11-pt lead wasn't going to be safe. He practically willed his team to victory.

The Fakers are THE team that worries me most - no doubt.

Like I posted in the game thread Bynum is going to be great, and looks down to earth, not that bs at ude that Howard or Amare has, not that I'm comparing him to them right now in terms of ability..

[MaNuMaNiAc]

well, all I will say is they probably wouldn't have shot any better had it been the first game of that b2b.

having said that, the Lakers are still the team we must practice to beat. One game does not a 7 game series make.

[ducks]

I want the lakers in round one
when spurs will get atleast one day rest between games

AMEN!

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't think Bynum is going to be "great"..he's a soft player, and doesn't have the worker's mentality to be "great"..he's going to be really good, not great IMO..he's going to play the Gasol role in the future, where he'll be the 2nd option..

Lakers get their ups though..they're arguably the best in the NBA..they have the best player in the NBA..they only have 7 losses though, so I won't give them too much love..we still have ways to go to match them..

damn, I feel dirty for giving the Lakers some love..KOBE'S A RAPIST!!..there, that felt better..

[hater]

Kobe's anctics made it seem he really, really wanted this game tonight. and he lost. in the worst way possible. sweet

Spurs cannot expect to have another 4th quarter like this and expect to beat that team.

The Lakers are a great team as long as they have Kobe and PJ. Still, we faced an undermanned and unrested LA team tonight. Don't get me wrong, I loved the win tonight and got caught up in all the drama, but I don't think it was a statement game from the Spurs. Had we beat them by double digits or so, then I would say the Spurs made a statement. However, the Spurs have a lot of work ahead of them. Manu is starting to round into form, and the defense has to start tightening up. I think this team is waiting until the end of the season to show what they have to offer. You know CIA Pop; don't show your hand unless it is necessary. I am eagerly awaiting another rematch of last years WC finals because at the moment, I can only think of 2 teams worthy of reaching that point.

Knowing I put my real name behind this message I don't care.

FTMFL

Especially that Kobe Bryant.

Enjoy the damn win.

[LA24]

Lakers Vs. Spurs => 2009 WCF !! Book it !!

Oh, and FTS

[phyzik]

FTMFGDL!!!

Thats what I say!!!

[J.T.]

Let's not and say we did.

[HarlemHeat37]

do you expect Josh Powell to carry their offense again, and bring them back?..
