NBA 2008-2009 !!!!!!!!!!!

Bottom line.. We crush them on Sunday.. Denver we take in 5..

I love your predictions. Having confidence in this team is hard to come by after their erratic playoff performances...but no matter how many times they dissapoint (Lakers in 5...Lakers in 6...clip em like a toenail), you have confidence in them still.

If I were a Laker fan I would feel that this team does not seem to have the heart it takes to win a championship.

Credit to you for sticking with your team. But every Laker fan should be a bit dissapointed in how they played in the playoffs.

We've seen stretches like this before.. Weak, soft, uninterested, porous defense.. Then there is a stretch of dominance..

Hoping we got this out of our system and ride a dominant stretch to the title.. Its all very possible..

I fear a loss w/ this Laker squad more so against a weaker team, or an injury depleted over a team thats considered a power.

It is possible for sure. The problem is they don't come to play unless they feel their opponent is worthy, hence losing to "lesser" teams. But the 3 peat Lakers did not have this mentality.

On another note, if the Lakers want to win, they better start Farmar and let Fish come off the bench.

Shaq would have kicked Kobe in the face with a size 22 for that.

Dennis Rodman would have kicked him in the bits.

Amen. Kobe is the leader of the team. And did anyone notice Pao responded positively. Of course it was too late by then...

I think Sasha may be on the trading block. Shooting 24% in the Playoffs isn't helping.

Sasha Vujacic next three years -08/09 $4,524,887 -09/10 $5,000,000- 10/11 $5,475,113 I hear you, but that's the contract he just signed,and i don't think there's a market for shotting guards that can't make a wide open shot!!!.I think you guys are stuck with him for a while.

'Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinal series between the Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets was the most watched basketball game ever on ESPN.
The Rockets' 95-80 victory on Thursday drew 7.35 million viewers, topping the 6.6 million that watched Miami beat Detroit in Game 6 of the 2006 Eastern Conference finals.

The game earned a 5.4 national rating and a 16.0 rating in Houston, ESPN's highest local rating for an NBA telecast. ESPN's audience for its six conference semifinal games is up 16 percent from last year"

I know we all have our favorite teams,but you can't deny this turned out to be a great series.I'm a rockets fan,but i'm also a basketball fan and win or loose sunday,i'm still watching the rest of this playoffs.

True, im glad the playoffs this year is turning out to be more interesting than I would have thought. With the LA/HOU battle as well as BOS/ORL it's quite fun keeping up with all the drama.

Same here, but looks like the Lakers actually came out prepared today. Let's hope they keep it up all game long.

 

[ProgMatinee]

way to show up for a big game houston. lol

 

[The ill Jedi]

Up by 20, so far so good.

 

[pjam]

Lakers D showed up. Time to finish them off. Artest throwing elbows into Kobe like crazy. Derek keeping up with the waterbug. See Drew swallow him on a drive, then later stomp over him? If the Lakers continue to control the boards, Game over.

Pao does fine in the REGULAR season...he just pulls a A-Rod come postseason. My arguments perfect Pao shouldnt need help to get up for a playoff game 6(let alone any playof game) but your a homer and cant see that.

P'Owned again humbledbee!

 

[The ill Jedi]

Pao throwing up a big "^^^^ You" to Bumbled ******.

 

[The ill Jedi]

Lakers throwing up a big "^^^^ You" to all the haters!!!

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

Laker Bigs still soft?.. KAPAU!!!

See you Houston.. Later goober Houston Fans...
