Yeah the Refs on the floor
Gasol, Ariza, and Kobe were huge.
Super clutch.
Yeah the Refs on the floor
I thought this thread was going to be about Kobe bending over during the interview.
Really, the refs were the reason Ariza sank two huge 3's, Gasol made two clutch fadeaways, and Kobe sunk a dagger 3 over JR Smith?
Yeh they were the reason LBJ makes a fadeaway 3 to win aswell.
i know ive seen plenty of questionable calls going against Cleveland and LA. BTW LeBron's 3 was incredible
Lakers 45 FT
I'm surprised Pao took the contact...AND made the shot.
Nah, that was all SVG's doing. I saddled on the Lewis blame train for a sec out of emotion, but Stan screwed that play all up.
yeah i dont understand the Laker fans condemning Gasol. he been incredibly important for their success
The refs propped the Lakers up in the third, but it really doesn't matter. Bryant and Gasol could have torn their ACLs falling into Bynum's knee and Denver would have still found a way to blow it.
Gasol's done this too many times to be dismissed as soft. He's the reason why the Lakers dismantled the Spurs defense...
Gasol kept them in striking distance in this game with his clutch offense. Without Gasol keeping the team's composure, the Lakers would have lived or died with Kobe taking his notorious difficult shots like in the 2005-2007 seasons...
I will say Ariza has been the only bench guy who gives a damn about this post-season, but that last Inbounds pass was due more to K-Mart's high IQ brilliance than Ariza's clutchness..
I'm gonna guess this is about as close as you'll ever get to complimenting the Lakers
ill give the Lakers credit, Gasol, Ariza and KOBE were huge down the stretch.
it must be said though that the nuggets were neutered with carmelo and nene being out with fouls
Actually, I believe it was Kenyon Martin who was bent over...oh..wait..that was DURING the game.
At least I can root for Ariza and Farmar; great ing game, Trevor.
Combination of clutch play and a predictable Nuggets implosion gave the Lakers the win.
Despite the Laker heroics a very narrow win - Lakers outscored them 32 - 18 in the 4th, yet won by only 6.
If one of the Nuggets had managed to step up in the 4th with a couple of plays it might have been different.
What happened to Mr Big Shot? He and J.R. Smith were a combined 9 for 30. And both of them took more shots than Carmelo.
Just dumb.
45 FTA, almost 50 FT! lol

On to Monday night raw
Lame. Nuggets shot 31 FTA, and were settling for low percentage jumpers all night, shooting only .393 from the floor.
5 for 27 from 3 point land.
Did the refs force the Nuggets to play so poorly?
Yeah...the refs stole the inbounds pass and tossed it to Ariza...
nobody has shot 50 since Dallas in game 3, round 2 vs Spurs in the 2006* playoffs.
the power of the GIF:
lakers fans, just admit the refs were on your corner in this game
it would save about 3-4 pages of back and forth.
Just admit it.
Denver drove just as much.
When refs saw Melo go for 18 points, they got him in Foul trouble with tic tac fouls.
any drive to the hole by denver was never called, any touch to softy gasol was.
Denver was the road team tonight.

No team deserves 45 free throws. Lakers were jump shooting for the most part.
It was alot of momentum calls, out of bounds calls, Techs to give ball + 1 and fast 5 fouls to get them on the line with the clocked stopped.
Especially when Lakers were down by 9, refs took Melo out
Nuggets need to learn how to inbound the ball and kmart needs to learn not to suck. choke job.
