Are we still scared of the Lakers?
Too bad we aren't getting the #1 seed, so we won't be facing them, tbh.
Wow. Nothing's official but D'Antoni & Kobe both seem to sure. Kobe was teary-eyed in his post game presser.Hate Kobe but that's terrible tbh.
So who wants the Lakers in the first round now..?

Yea don't think we're getting it, but that's an EASY sweep for OKC now tbh.
definitely see how upset/pissed off Kobe is in this presser on NBATV; tears
What, you think the friendly whistle is stopping now? The beat went on fine after he checked out.
Doesn't matter. Even with a friendly whistle they're not going anywhere. WITH Kobe they were barely beating ty teams. They're an easy sweep for OKc now.
As much as the Spurs have fallen apart, compared to the Lakers, it's still nothing compared to what the Lakers have gone through.
Sad thing is there will still be folks scared to play the lakers on this forum![]()
^There is nothing to fear but fear itself.
What fun would it be beating LA Lakers without KOBE? I am being honest now too? NONE. If you beat LA you want Kobe in there for the series.
I'm with Baseline on this one. However, it's much more satisfying to get a W with Bean playing knowing that he won't advance.
Utah will probably pass them now unless spurs and rockets tank.
Which is very possible. I think both teams do rest their starters tbh. Th only question now is who's an easier opponent for OKC, Utah or a Kobe-less Lakers.
Yeah but it's harder to feign impartial reffing in favor of scrubs over the course of an entire game. The refs manage to do it for a few minutes, culminating with Steve Blake getting game winning free throws on contact that occurs all the time (if this was called consistently, each team would average 100 FTA/game).
They will probably get an illegitimate game or two in the playoffs, but I don't think $tern would fix an entire series for them.
Case in point last year they robbed OKC of game 3 to prevent L.A. from going down 0-3, but the Thunder won in 5 anyway, and L.A. is still a bigger money maker than OKC/Durant.
I'll reply to this thread as SpursDynasty:
No reason for pages of threads on this.
No point in arguing or hating.
Nothing special about Kobe's injury.
His achilles just went out there, helped him play 45+ minutes, helped him just shoot some shots.
Then it got tired and needed a break.
That's all, no big deal.
in' Kobe, I feel bad but the asshole brought it on himself. Great work ethic but at what cost. Sometimes, you need to sit for a couple of minutes man and now look at Kobe. 5 rings and a busted ankle. Looks like he'll never pass Jordan.
This is what happens when people in their mid-30s play 40+ minutes per game. ing moron. He deserves it.
Mike D'Antoni's going to be a wanted man in LA. Playing Kobe 47 minutes a night, even though they desperately needed him to, is never a good idea, and it caught up to him.
I was hoping Kobe/LAL to give OkC hard time (6-game at least) in the 1st rndnow not a reality anymore
Kobe will be fine regardless. Stop with the drama queens
I was just thinking the other day about all those minutes Kobe has been playing lately, and that he's going to get burned out before the playoffs come. Guess that won't be an issue now.
As much as I hate Kobe's guts, he is a compe or and I hate to see him go down like that. Hopefully he can get it together and finish out his career on a better note.
Big lose for the NBA if Kobe cant get back.
Career ending injury! Hope not!
