Now that Boston leads 3-2 it's looking pretty grim for the Lakers. Can they win game 6? Or will they go meekly into the night?
LA will win game 6, Bynum will hurt his body trying to give it his all and push that knee to help the team
then Bynum will have to play less minutes, Boston will come out with the final push and execute a great game and Boston will close them out in game 7 and beat LA again for another ring.
in the post game, kobe will talk about drinking a lot more wine
dont jinx it
Not looking good for the Lakers...
refs will rig it for the lakers. no way stern passes up a chance for a lakers-boston game 7 finals game.
PRECIPICE?...PRECIPICE?...
goddammit for tlong---it is a pretty impressive use of vocabulary----
NO---it is UNBEAVABLE!
I lov it I lov it it lov it. I lov it
Stern Refs >>> Gambling Refs
Lakers have HCA
Plus Stern wants a game 7 for major audience
The Lakers will have a tough time winning game 6 imo. We'll see if Stern does anything about it.
It's no more a "disaster" if we can't end the Celtics than it is for the other 28 teams already waiting.
Nope. The is the end of the line for Kobe. He won't recover from this if he doesn't succeed. You're aware of this I'm sure Cubby.
Poppy . We're still the cream of the crop. If it ends badly, we'll be back.
They said Magic was all washed up in the Summer of '84. 12 months later, he commanded the the Celtics, the Boston Celtics, not the San Antonio Celtics to their knees and put one right behind their ear.
Just like that.
If we lose here, that will be Kobe's calling.
Finish it.
You seriously comparing that Lakers team to this Lakers team? Magic>>>>>>>>>>Kobe and you know it Culby.
I'm comparing this Lakers team (if they lose) to the '84 team, yes. And I'm contrasting what Magic did after the '84 catastrophe to attone in the '85 Campaign, with the opportunity that Bryant will have.
If the Lakers lose here, the plate will be set for such a challenge to Bryant and these Lakers contrasting to the '84 situation.
Can ya stay with me here, Easy, or, is it impossible for you to have a conversation and ball bust in the same evening?
Oh ok. Didn't get that first. Anyways, I know it's been a long night for all Laker fans. Still, I expect them to take game 6 and game 7 will be up for grabs. Trash talking aside, no team should feel ashamed losing this series. It's been well-played so far and surely one for the ages

But Kobe had his redemption last year. The only problem was KGs knees didn't get the script, so fate intervened and gave Kobe another shot.
If he doesn't make it here, I don't think the Celts make it back to give him a third shot. And 0-2 against your biggest rivals will ensure he'll never beat Magic as the Greatest Laker.
The Lakers are 47-8 at home. That looks grim?
I think LA will win the two home games, but then again, I thought they'd win the series in 5.
If he hasn't...then how has he redeemed himself? If he NEVER Beats the Celtics in the Finals, is that considered failure? A Laker Great has defined what it takes, and Bean has NEVER done it. He has a chance but what if he fails?Although several Lakers legends never beat the Celtics in the Finals, Bryant is surrounded by those who did: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar tutors the Los Angeles big men, Magic Johnson is a part owner, James Worthy hosts pre- and postgame TV shows, and Michael Cooper coaches the women's team down the road at USC. They are constant reminders that Bryant probably has at least one more hurdle to clear to become the Greatest Laker Ever. "It's not about beating the Celtics in the regular season," Cooper says. "You have to beat them in the playoffs. That's when you become part of the club."
Tale of 2 stats.
PhiJax is 47-0 for playoff series when his teams win Game 1. LAL won game 1.
Celtics are 11-0 in Finals History when going up 3-2. They're up 3-2.
Something's gotta give.
What, because Cooper says it, it's so. Please.
And where in your resume' does it say that YOU played in the league and have Championship rings as a Laker?
Hey...It doesn't. Thanks for playing.
I got 15 NBA World Championship rings. So sue me.
You got 3, 3 and a half.
