If if if if if if if if if if. What if your mom never dropped you on your head? Then the rest of us wouldn't have to suffer through reading your uneducated bball posts.

Fact is, all of this is happening weather any of us like it or not.

All this "if this/if that didnt happen" needs to stop, cause it did happen.

And I agree that the Cavs/Lakers series would have been more exciting but I dont know about better matchup. The Lakers dont have anyone to guard D12, but the difference in coaching ability has shown and kept him in check.

They dont have anyone to keep Turk and Shard in check, but then again thats where the coaching has come in. Phil's defensive strategy is better.

lmao uneducated? I'm stating what happened. I said congrats yet you'd rather start an arguement and call me uneducated. fact is my point being the lakers are lucky, they are. a 60% free throw shooter missed two crucial free throws at the end of the game, luck. etc.

All this "if this/if that didnt happen" needs to stop, cause it did happen.

and I hate that too thats why I dont do if this happened except that KG one but I had too cause its true. everyone think im doin' that but im really sayin the lakers got lucky, im just makin' my point and nobody even acknowledge how true it is.

Pau Gasol and Bynum are much better then Ilgauskas/Ben/AV to guard DH12. And when Bynum is out, which is more then half the game, Odom is in, and he can guard Shard fine.

speaking of Phil. so many people say he's just a product of great players, he cant coach (yeah ZO, i'm talking to you > _>)

Just look at last night. How many coaches would have taken the ball from 3/4 court rather than half court?
How many coaches would have stuck with Fisher who has been pretty bad these playoffs?

there's so much more too. He's underrated as a coach which is amazing.
If the Lakers do win it all this year, I dont know how many people could question him any more

what about orlando getting lucky?
Kobe is a 85% career FT shooter and is shooting like 94% in the playoffs.
He missed 5 Ft's in game 3? wtf?

honestly, the only difference that made is time on the clock, which by going halfcourt you could have just used 2 more seconds before shooting, so thats nothing special.

and i'm from Illinois, Chicago got 6 championships under Phil so dont call me a hater when it come to phil.

orlando was lucky as hell to make it out of the first round. thats my point though, LA is lucky to be facing orlando in the first place yet they still get all these calls n' shet.

 

[dez]

Both Turk and Shard are putting up the same numbers they did against Cleveland

And D12 has done the same things against LA he did against Cleveland, but the double teams are coming faster and catching him off guard.

A better gameplan is the difference.

 

[elcheato]

Turkoglu wasn't even that good against us. Delonte West at 6'3 held him in check most of the series when he was covering him. We lost simply because if we played small we would have had to use Sasha Pavlovic and Wally who are both pure garbage. We had to put AV on Shard which is a disaster lol. We lost because of Ilgauskas, which pains me to say because he is the most loyal player this franchise has seen. Not to mention the 5 foot surgeries he had and missing 2 seasons and coming back and making an all-star team.

lol their getting all those calls?
Lakers shot 0 FT's in the 4th Q. and only shot 2 in OT after the game was over.

Dwight got away with A LOT last night. way more than the Lakers did.
Lakers got the blind eye treatment for a lot of last night.

You saw that play where Kobe got hit on the wrist as he went to shoot. no call.

oh and my bad if you thought i called you a PJ hater. I was saying in general. that wasnt a personal attack

 

[I'm With ATL]

oh and my bad if you thought i called you a PJ hater. I was saying in general. that wasnt a personal attack

I dont think you did but I was just saying dont in the future.

did you see the offensive foul call on D12 when Pau had been fouling him for like 10 seconds?

did you see Kobe and Bynum yesterday throwing tantrums when fouls were called on them, and yet again no technicals?

did you see against the rockets when Battier was bloodied and no technicals were called?

the lakers get more calls than any team in the leauge by far. even more so in the playoffs. then they go about being the team that <Censored>es the most. how does that happen?

 

[Mexi]

lol look at the battier thing again. that was a complete accident. I think even haters can agree with this

and as for them throwing tantrums, all the players have been this series. it's the Finals.
no ticky tack T's

oh and I love this pic.

I bet you think the lakers get every BS call at home. This was called a clean Howard block, no goal tend. SMFH

lmao that was goaltending like a motha<Censored>a i give you that.

the lakers always throw tantrums. atleast they arent playing vujacic as much as last year.

the lakers get away with pretty much anything wherever they are.

 

[The Young One]

Does anybody have the gif. Of kobe telling dwight to shut the fukk up and play ball.


I also need the one of pau punking pietrus.

 

[elcheato]

I need the one of Kobe running away like a girl when Pietrus was on a fast break and did a lay up.

 

[Mexi]

whatever. if thats what you believe, so be it.

the first half last night was soooooooooooooooo bad. it was a tag team. magic and refs vs. lakers

this whole series has been bad though.
Bynum gets every single touch foul whereas Dwight puches off so much, throws his elbows in the post, etc. hedo uses his off arm so much i'm surprised it's never called.

lol i dont even know why im complaining. Lakers up 3-1

YOUR complaining about elbows? that sig says Lakers right? -_-

and Bynum sucks. He's supposed to be some top 5 center but I havent seen him do a damn thing that impressed me yet.

I was on a hawks board and they were sayin the hawks should trade horford for bynum I was like good thing the lakers would never do that lol.

 

[Mexi]

I know TYO loved this.
check out daddy Kobe.



"You aint gonna do nothing"
then dwight says something else.

Kobe: "Shut the f*** and play. just shut up and play"
Dwight then continues on like "yes sir"

lol

 

[Mexi]

well with Bynum, he had this stretch right before his injury like the last 20 games where he was just killing it. making an all-star push, he had like 10 straight double doubles, dropped 42/15, etc. he was coming into his own.

And he's only 21. lets not act like he's been in the NBA for 8 years and we're still waiting

too soon to judge. He's coming off an injury. too soon
maybe next year we'll see. but lets be fair

 

[elcheato]

Dwight should have punched Kobe all the way to Colorado.
