LMAO!!! The lady in yellow?? I was thinking the same thing!
I don't think a Laker win in the series would really be considered a gigantic upset.

called the game? Nice
you could even say a certain someone picked the fakers.
My interests were purely professional. I was wondering if perchance she might actually be a Spurs fan who is forced to attend Suns games by her boyfriend, and thus someone potentially interested in contributing to the cause.
Kobe's dunk on Nash was badass. As for the Suns... you live by the three, you die by the three.
Not to think too far ahead ... BUT, how about the prospects of a
Los Angeles v. Los Angeles second round match-up???
Talk about no homecourt advantage for the Clippers.
I know it's not guaranteed. But, certainly would be interesting.
I hope it's LA vs LA cause that would be funny
"you live by the three, you die by the three."
Spurs live by the 3.
Sacs clogging the lane and giving it up
That would be the envy of every other team in the league, never having to go "on the road", sleep in your own bed every night ...
I doubt the Clippers will enjoy getting booed in their own house, but it would be nice to see the same people that wear Lakers jerseys for that series switch to their Clip jerseys for the next one. They should make a two sided Bryant/Brand one just to make it easier on the fans
I'm sure the Clippers are used to be boo'd in LA, both in Staples and on the street.
Ya it would be nice. Dream on. The Clippers *home* game I hoping for 50% Clipper fans at best. A lot of that has to do with $$$.

I think the winner of that series would have an unfair advantage in the Western Conference Finals. The reason I say that is because they don't have to travel for one to two weeks.
Granted, SA and Dallas will probably face each other and each team only has to deal with a one hour flight.
But hypothetically, what if the Spurs had to play Seattle like last year? The Spurs would have been drained from the travel between Texas and Washington while the Lakers or Clippers were eating at home, sleeping at home, and driving to all their games in the semis.
While I appreciate your clip of the Kobe charge and his ref ownership, the NBA has some lame rule about posting these on boards. Not nagging you at all, someone was just asking for verification of the charge. Just helping Kori out as she doesnt have time to be everywhere.
It'd rival the NY Yankees NY mets Subway series. But Suns will probably put away this series once their players quit underestimating the Scrappy Lakers team.
This game proved a few things:
1. Steve Nash is no MVP. This game is about winning championships. Nash has failed to do that ... or even get close. There is no way he should have won back-to-back MVP's.
2. Phil Jackson is the best coach in sporting history. That guy is an amazing, amazing coach.
3. The Suns don't make the WCF. I just don't see it now and I never have. If the Lakers don't finish them off, the Clippers will.
4. Canada Sucks
nice but that will be deleted. Sternie is the boss.
I agree, even though they didn't win game 1, the first two games in the series have been a testament to PJ's greatness. He had the Lakers slow the pace of the game to a crawl and has got the Lakers half-court offense running like a machine, with starters like Smush Parker, Luke Walton and Kwame Brown. That's not even getting into the job he's gotten them to do on the defensive end.
I'm not sure the Lakers can actually keep this up, considering the massive talent disparity between the teams, but if they do it'll be all Phil (with a healthy dose of Kobe Bryant).
Lamar Odom is amazing
i've been following the lakers closely because of this guy...
It would be very interesting since the Clippers have no answer for Lakers perimeter players (mainly Kobe) in terms of guarding him, and the Lakers have no answer for the Clippers frontline (Brand, Kaman). There'd be no discerable difference in terms of homecourt, except among the season ticket holders.
Plus there's the underpinning of a 4th playoff matchup between Phil Jackson and Mike Dunleavy.
I'd love watching that series as they battled 7 games for the right to be swept by the Spurs/Mavs winner. Before you think that sounds degrading, think about the Clippers coming back next season with the experience of having won 2 playoff series. That's the prize for them.
Nash had a nice game but Kobe>Nash. This is only 1 game but Nash with a better supporting cast doesn't lead the supposedly better team to a win at home (6 turnovers). Kobe with a weaker supporting cast leads his team to a victory on the road against a higher seed.
And to atxrocker who said "i wish that canadian would kick kobes ass", you know that little piece of canadian bacon that comes on an Egg Mcmuffin, that's what Nash would have looked like if there had been fight. (they both know better)
Jackson, Pop, Flip>Avery
Great game by the Lakers...very nice indeed. Hopefully they can keep the momentum for the next 2 games @ Staples. There gameplan has been solid and Kobe's working within the offence very effectively. His shot will start going down more effeciently as the series go. It's not over yet...
