Also Mexi, I'm curious, what do you consider Shannon Brown? A future star, a role player, or what? Because if you just think of him as a role player, I don't understand why you and so many Laker fans are hyping up a role player.

role player
we're excited because he wasnt even supposed to do anything. he was supposed to just sit and watch like morrison. he was just a throw in.
and he's a lot better than farmar and at times fisher

 

[Mexi]

oh yeah Mexi, Jazz scored over 100 again, stop trying to defend that piss poor defense. Night in and night out they have defensive break downs, on a regular basis. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see the Blazers/Rockets take the series next round to 7 games or even win, they both have great D.

honestly, if you score more than your opponent, who cares?
i know our D has been meh, but it'll get better.

Portland or Houston could not take us to 7 games. both of those go 5 max just like this series now

 

[elcheato]

Lakers defense is trash, if they face Portland it is probably going to 7 games, Lakers cant win in Portland.

 

[The Young One]

Got damn it dwight gets away with a lot of goaltends.

 

[Mexi]

our D held you under 100 while we scored 100

and i guarantee portland would be 5 max. i think it would be a sweep honestly

 

[elcheato]

In the regular season? It's the playoffs now, you won't be facing the Jazz every series either so it will be hard to just outscore everyone.

And that's because you're over confident, Portland or Houston will make the series long, you'll see.

 

[Mexi]

we own houston. they cant beat us. we swept them this season without Bynum playing in 2 games, without Odom in another. they dont have their backup center anymore. we're too big for them

portland is ok. they beat us at home, but playoffs is different. we would not lose more than once to them

again, both would go 5 max

and if we could score 100 against last years Celtics in the finas, we could do it on your cavs. we are better offensively this year, and their D was better than yours this year

 

[elcheato]

okay Nostradamus, the regular season really tells us everything to know when it has to do with the Lakers-Cavs, but when it has to do with Portland - Lakers, regular season means nothing.

 

[RipCity32]

I can't believe this is still being debate between you two.

 

[elcheato]

It will be debated until the Finals are over lol

 

[MapleLeaf]

yeah save it till the finals when you guys face, then let the best team win

 

[RipCity32]

Yes please haha.

Heat need to keep playing hard d tonight and stop turning the damn ball over.

 

[Mexi]

"It may be a silly excuse, but I wanted to try to win a championship on my own, and we had that opportunity in New Jersey," Kidd told the Dallas Morning News. "Then, the Nets went in a whole different direction.

"San Antonio did everything right. I just didn't make the right decision at the time."

Unsure of whether or not Kidd was really expressing regret, the News then asked if he wished he had joined the Spurs.

"Well, they've won two championships since then," Kidd said. "I might have had a ring by now."

 

[elcheato]

okay Nostradamus, the regular season really tells us everything to know when it has to do with the Lakers-Cavs, but when it has to do with Portland - Lakers, regular season means nothing.

Mexi, can I get a response?

 

[PiStoL31PeTe]

Yes! Heat close out the game last night, now lets get some wins in Miami.
