LMAO Wake had to go find his catcher to help his cause. I guess he couldnt man up by himself after the ____storm he started....

Pretty good day of ball. All the teams i wanted to win, did.

Now let's just have OKC win this game and make my day complete.

I said it and will say it again, OKC vs CHI in the finals!!!


PS: Where is Rubberlungs...i mean ironlungs now?

 

[bumblebee]

Good start for the Lakers, oh wait they what....

 

[The ill Jedi]

Talk ____ while you can haters, I know you ******* have been sitting in a dark room in the fetal position praying for the Lakers to lose. I hope the past two years have been torture for you.

As for yesterdays game, they came out flat as did many other home teams, they'll just have to re-adjust and try to get the next one. It's pathetic how many of you celebrate ONE Lakers loss.

If I were a fan of a historically inept team that backdoored their way to one championship who have been and still are the laughing stock of the NBA who then dares to compare his team to other teams who have won multiple championships and multiple hall of famers who are the examples of excellency in the NBA...I'd STFU for eternity....

But thats just me...

Wake, read this again and talk to me when your team has 16 Championships, 5 in the last 11 years.

This is too funny, you come in here to laugh about the Lakers losing, but , make no mention of your soft ass Magic losing. Lame.

Sorry if my team hasn't been around an extra 41 years (especially when the chances of winning a championship were 1 in 8 cuz thats how many teams there were).

The Magic will be ok, the Lakers look old and slow. No fixing that but way to try and deflect the attention of your teams loss.

Did I make any excuses? No. I stated that they looked flat and need to regroup.

I commented on what you said because you're a notorious hater who expends more energy hating than you do rooting for your team.

The Magic have had all the tools needed to win and still fail, I don't see them ever getting over that hump.

Nothing like a weekend of tight games and upsets to get the already volatile blood flowing in this thread.

Hey man, it's business as usual for me, I barely even shrugged my shoulders over yesterdays loss. These haters are dancing in the streets like little girls. I'm not worried one bit.

 

[IrishJedi]

Oh, I know. I wasn't referring to you at all. It's pretty obvious who the , , and in here are.

 

[Crysis]

wow, too bad the Knicks choked away that one. Would have been crazy if the bottom 3 seeds took the first game in both conferences. Defn makes for better basketball.

pierce trying for another an emmy again this year. at least this time he wasn't carried out.

If they(Magic) don't win it this year then I agree it won't happen for a long time, cause sadly I don't see Howard coming back.

 

[DinoDB1975]

As an impartial NBA fan, I will say that the Lakers need to change their late game defensive rotations. On the high screens, Pau Gasol is always invariably stuck on an island with a quick point guard, as he was with Chris Paul yesterday. I had flashbacks of game 5 of last year's Western Conference Finals, where Gasol was isoed on Nash on two or three occasions, and Nash shaked and baked him for jumpers. Granted, LA won that game, but based on that defensive strategy, Phoenix was able to make up a nine / ten point deficit in the last two minutes.

LA will always have trouble with elite point guards as their current guards don't have the athleticism to defend the likes of Paul, Westbrook, or Rose, but they're loaded enough to make up for it. Though New Orleans has a puncher's chance (they'd have a better chance with the healthy CP3 of three years ago and David West), LA should take this series.

CP3 and Howard free agents at the same time. I can see them going to the same team. This is what the NBA will come down to; a few teams with two or three superstars.

 

[Shatterer of Dreams]

Wow 1 game in on the playoffs and everyone acting like it's June already. There's not a single team out of their series yet, I think this weekend proved that we are in for some great basketball this year. I like all this new blood shaking things up a bit, it's exciting.

If you wash out Kobe and Paul's numbers which were about the same then you have to look at the overall team performance and the Lakers were horrible, flubbing far too many opportunities where the Hornets cashed in on theirs.

Game 2 won't look like this...

 

[IronLungs31]

Lets hope that we can tie this series up tomorrow before heading off to the N.O.

Actually it's Wednesday man...But yeah, I'm certain game one was a wake up call for them, so we should be alot sharper and ready for game two..

 

[NosferatuBill36]

While it's nice to hear every single sportswriter and their mother completely rip apart the referee for that call in the 4th quarter as well as Paula Pierce and his wonderful acting job, it doesn't actually make me feel any better. Let's hope the boys are able to overcome the refs and Morgan Freem...er...Paul Pierce on Tuesday. Go Knicks.
