sons anything can happen in sports entertainment
and now they suddenly get 38 attempts (leaving out the 4 intentional fouls at the end of the game)?
Oh, I know. They were more aggressive tonight because they were energized and at home, that's why they had a whopping 30 points in the paint compared to OKC's 40.
Oh, I know. It's justified because"OKC gets soooo many bull calls it was about time the Lakers got some of their own"
. In the first game OKC had 29 attempts in a fast paced game that was a blowout. In game 2, they had the same amount of attempts as the Lakers. Spin it all you want, this series was called fairly for both teams until tonight's rig job.
Bottom line is the NBA needs this series to go at least 6 games (which means another game in LA and more ratings) and did everything humanly possible to tips things in that direction.
Now, Lakers fans, I'm not suggesting you apologize for the win or feel ashamed. By all means, gloat. I know when Stern suspended Amare and Diaw, I threw it in the faces of dip Suns fans over on the ESPN boards. And when they inevitably would respond with, "How can you be proud of winning a rigged series?" I would say, "Winning feels good. I'll take 'em anyway I can."
But if any Laker fan thinks that game was anything but a in' farce, then kill yourselves immediately.

Lakers basically just got some pity sex tonight.
It was cute, but we all know refs/stern can't make fans watch that boring ass team shoot 40 ft's a game for the next 3 rounds.
Not as bad as the '93 semi-final game 7 between Seattle and Phoenix.
I remember because I was living in Seattle at that time - Seattle fans were going nuts. Looked it up,
Phoenix was 57 for 64!!! 64 FTA in a playoff game, wow.
Barkley was 19 for 22, KJ 14 for 16 from the line.
Gosh, I wonder the NBA really, really wanted a Jordan/Barkley finals?
questionable on the real,but i'm not mad we won either.
Daaaaaaaamn, no way tothat one.
Like I said, don't feel bad. Gloat about it. These are the kind of wins that piss off us Laker haters the most.
You are indeed in full haterade mode tonight.
Damn right. This series should've been put on ice.
no worries Mid. Gets these gots feeling good about Game 4.
I see Professor X is lurking. Get in this thread right now.
Games like this remind me that you can't feel good in a series against the Lakers until they get knocked out.
Lakers invariably get the benefit of the calls, as the Spurs well know.
Should be very interesting to see how OKC responds to this debacle.
What a bunch of whiney little es.
Get the committee together and write a bill.
Or maybe listen to the OKC coach. "we fouled too much and used our hands to play defense"
Everyone ing about kobes 18 FT and not a word about Hardens 12. Same clip if you count time played. 12 FT by Bynum. You saying he wasnt getting hacked down low?
WIN!!!!!!
Was a good game to see and looking forward to tomorrow!!!
Wooooooo Hooooooooooo!!
Sad thing is if Kobe doesnt blow game 2 we are up 2-1. Tomorrow is big!
Catch you then you pissy little whiney es!!!!!
Great to be a LA sports fan!!!!!!!
Professor X has come out of his hiding.
Murderball!!!!!
Props on the win tonight Venti. Hope they push it to 6.
Kings ain't winning the cup. Lakers ain't winning the O'Brien. Angels are s. And the Dodgers might get to the World Series, but will lose to Texas. And we still have no football team. But for the sake of the argument, let's pretend your stain Rams still play here. We know those assholes won't do anything in your lifetime.
How is it great to be an LA sports fan again?
No hiding. Posted after every game of the playoffs that I have been in town win or lose. I actually have a life and actually go to the games unlike you losers who sit in your moms den and post on the internet during games.
Big WIN!!!!!
Woooooooooooooooo Hoooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
You'd know better than all of us!
I am convinced that cobbler is someone's troll. How you fall for this is beyond me. I guess you just really want any reason to hate the Lakers.
I remember that
Stern clearly wanted Chuck vs MJ
Kings are dominating the playoffs and are the team to beat. You're an idiot if you cant see that. But hey, we know you are an idiot regardless.
Lakers should be up 2-1 and we will see how it turns out.
Dodgers are kicking ass and we will see how that turns out.
Right now.... it is great to be an LA sports fan. That you take offense to it... makes it even better!
Woooooooooooooo Hoooooooooooooooo!!!!!
He's legit. Posted pics of the wheelchair basketball medal he won in the Para-Olympics.
I have a like/hate thing with cobbler. In real life, I have no doubt he's a good man, but his homerism is in' intolerable at times. The Lakers could be down 20 with 30 seconds left in a game and he'd still have faith they'd somehow pull it out.
Yet you keep talking about me. Go figure!!!!
You are about as bright as the midget! ing moron.
Maybe you should join his committee and write up a bill!!!![]()
