Lakers are at their best when they play like this. they ran the offense through the post and had good ball movement. enough of the stupid kobe pick and rolls where kobe just takes tough shots time and time again. I was glad that kobe and phil stopped the pick and roll after it failed to work 3 or so possessions in a row in the 4th. kobe only had 13 shots today and the lakers had great overall production from everyone. their defense, rebounding and energy were great too. now they have to put forth the same effort, defense and execution for game 6 in denver.

I hope LBJ gets some help from his teammates. he can't do it all himself. he's put up the numbers in every game, but one man can only do so much. plus the magic have a lot of good match ups that favor them. if they make their 3s like they've been doing, it'll be tough for Cleveland to pull this out. but you never know, you live by the 3 you die by the 3, we'll see if Cleveland is destined for the finals. I still want to see the Lakers vs Cavs in the finals, but first and foremost LAKERS!!

I'd also like to point out that tonight's game was one of the few games they let the players play. They didn't call technical fouls so quickly and didn't give any unnecessary flagrant fouls. refs did a good job controlling tonight's game:thumbsup:

That's how it is at times man lol....u can say the same thing when the game is in Denver...

I love how when a foul is called that the nuggets player being called always swear/want to kill the referee as when the lakers just laugh it out lol..

Lakers played a beautiful game throughout. Before the tip, the cameras showed Kobe, Pau and Fisher and the look in their eyes was full of determination, hunger and focus of getting the job done, which I hadn't seen before. It's a good sight to see and was present for the 48 minutes. I was glad to see great offensive execution as well, taking what the Nuggets gave them and not forcing anything for the most part. The amount of patience and trust the players showed in the triangle was great. Ariza got off to a good start, Pau, Odom, Walton, Brown and the rest of the players that played gave them good, productive minutes. With the Lakers, playing at this caliber, they are going to be unstoppable.

I hope starts Fisher/Kobe/Ariza/Odom/Gasol

Ariza- Turkoglu
Odom- Lewis
Gasol- Howard

Then Bynum off the bench for Gasol. Odom can post up Lewis and Kobe can have a party with Courtney Lee

I agree with Lakers in 5 as well especially with the way they're playing. As long as the Lakers can contain Dwight in the post without having to double team him and leaving Orlando's shooters open for shots, then I don't see the Magic causing the Lakers too many problems. They haven't proved that they can hit contested 3's over and over again and sooner or later Orlando is going to die by the 3 just as they've been living by it to get to this point.
If Phil decides to start Bynum and Gasol in the front court it'll still be alright since they can exploit their size advantage on offense at the beginning of the game to impose their will and Odom can provide the spark off the bench. Odom will still play more minutes towards the end of the game anyway so starting Bynum won't be a big problem at all.

411ken
06-01-2009, 12:31 PM
I agree with the advantage but who is Gasol going to guard? Unless they play Zone, He can't guard Lewis...

I prefer the Gasol then Bynum because if Howard gets his rest, put it Bynum and we'll have the advantage on the post against their backup center which is Vortag or whatever lol..Bynum is my 2nd favorite player from the lakers but right now, he isn't playing great so off the bench makes more sense to me anyway.

Either way, I'm stoked and can't wait till thursday.

wow @ ppl saying Lakers in 5, though it's possible, everyone seems to be discrediting the Magic

u guys do know they are one of the top defensive teams, and you are all witness to their offense, if Jameer wasn't injured ( reports say hes game ready ), i'd have to bet on the Magic, they swept the Lakers in the regular season, the Magic can erase 20 pt deficits like it's nothing and the Lakers defense is not intimidating to say the least, not to mention their mental lapses

go Magic

XplodeTheBass
06-04-2009, 10:35 AM
Odom would be able to post up Lewis, but most people forget that hes basically 7 foot. It'll create a key matchup that both sides of the floor will take advantage of. Rashard will trade in 3's for 2's any day.

liu13
06-04-2009, 10:50 AM

I'm stoked..

I hope phil jackson's game plan is to let dwight try to beat us by himself. Play him straight up, rather than double teaming him leading to a kickout for a 3..that's what happened to the cavs series so I hope they play them differently...

Lakers has a deeper bench, hungrier team. They failed to get the rings last year and I guarantee that they will not let it happen this time around especially against the magics....it's kobe time..

yea we can live with Dwight getting the majority of the shots as long as they're not all dunks. foul him if it's going to be an easy 2 and make him earn it at the line. a lot of fouls can be spared on Dwight. letting him go one on one will negate the Magic's ability to shoot the kickout 3s they've been living by. Lakers have to watch for the fast break 3s by getting back on defense.

Kobe's not going to let this opportunity slip away. he and the lakers tasted defeat last year. i believe that in this series they are going to give it their all by executing on offense and defense and have that drive to win it.

2 down 2 more to go. Lewis stepped up bigtime and Hedo made some key shots as well. Dwight had a better game but it still wasnt enough. Whats up with rafer missing all those 3's? I was shitting bricks when Lee caught the alley oop with .6 secs left, if he were a little more outside of the rim then he would have easily completed the play, good thing he was behind the backboard a little :). Odom had a good offensive game but on defense he stank, he better tighten up his D on lewis, go lakers!

rickross888
06-08-2009, 08:44 AM
i held my breathe when i saw the back pick set on kobe and saw courtney lee have a great chance at winning it for the magic. pau might have made him rush it a little too coming over to contest the shot. just the thought of pau coming over with his long reach may have altered lee's shot or at least made him think. if that was rashard or hedo or dwight, this series could've well been tied 1-1, but the shot didn't go in so it's now 2-0 lakers.

2 more wins, 2 more wins lakers. can't wait to see them win the title it's been a while. been cheering for them through all their ups and downs over the years and it'll be a joy to see them win it this year.

rickross888
06-09-2009, 08:11 PM
lakers had their chances, but didn't execute well down the stretch. dwight shooting better than kobe at the line is shocking.

the magic were bound to have a night where they shot lights out, but you can't do that for consecutive games. the magic shot 70% at the half and only led by 5 and had to shoot 62.5% the entire game (NBA Finals history for FG%) just to squeak by and win by 4. and even then the lakers had their chances. i don't see the magic shooting like this to win 3 more games, especially if the lakers execute on both ends of the court. Lakers will make their adjustments and win it

Pau fucking showed that fuck Pietrus up. when Pau gets up all in your grill, you know whats up. LAKERS baby!! 1 more win!

D-FISH, D-ROCK, Little Rock, whatever you want to call him he hit some big 3s. Ariza played a big part in this win too starting with that steal on Hedo leading to a dunk and then hitting a runner and two big 3s. 13 big pts for Ariza in the 3rd. total team effort in this game.

anyone catch the post game interviews? lol Fish says "ya know" SO MUCH, 70+ times I counted. Dwight and Kobe and them use it too, but not as much. guess it's just a 'filler' word for them to use.

I kinda laughed at Gasol going after Pietrus..Pau looks so weak trying to push him haha...if I was Gasol, I would have just started clapping and looked up at the score and time...that would so put them on the edge for next game... Very dangerous play and I'm glad Kobe went after him too

And Fisher's smile is priceless..he's been having one hell of a finals... They'll finish off this series come sunday...

Odom mentioned sometime in the season that he wants to return to LA and would take a paycut if needed. let's hope he stays true to his word.

IF the Lakers had to pick one and only one of the two between Odom or Ariza who would you guys choose?
I personally find this very tough and can't clearly pick between the 2 since I have the same amount of pros and cons between the 2 players. that's why I hope the Lakers can sign them both

People that perceive him as a rapist just don't like the guy....it doesn't have anything to do with their basketball knowledge....I don;t like him and I know a lot about basketball.....people just don't like him as a person...

I still think that if the Garnett played in the playoffs..it would have been Celts in 6...look what happneded last year..

But the Celtics have the self proclaimed best player in the world..what happened to him? lol..sorry, I just can't stand Pierce....and I'm probbly the happiest guy to see them knocked out.

As for the Cavs, I've read that Shaq might come over? haha, I guess Shaw wants to play in a "weaker" conference? and team up with LBJ?..I guess Cavs are desperate to make moves to show LeBron they are "serious".

the Shaq deal actually went through and he's going to be joining Lebron and the Cavs. Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic over to the Suns along with a draft pick and $500,000. let's see how this one year experiment does since Shaq's contract is due at the end of the season.

Jefferson got traded over to the Spurs as well

411ken
06-25-2009, 05:33 AM

06-25-2009, 06:41 AM
Interesting move for shaq, ben wallace is considering retiring? I think he can do good in pheonix, he can actually be in the starting line up. RJ move is great for both teams. Don't know if it'll make that much of an impact if manu, timmy or tony are injured this season. Jamal crawford traded again huh? You guys see that rejected deal for ray allen/rondo for hamilton/prince/stuckey? That would have been a killer deal for boston. Anyone watching the draft tonight?

411ken
06-25-2009, 06:55 AM
Shaq knows he can't "hang" with the west teams anymore so he jumps ship to the east lol... Yup, Wallace is considering it but not sure if it will happen..he's reason is he lost passion to the game already..

Glad to see the spurs FINALLy shake things up too as Duncan isn't getting any younger.

As for that Pistons deal,I personally think it's a stupid move but I guess, they want to rebuild as well and take money off the cap.

Draft tonight doens't have much hype but I'll still watch lol..did you hear that Ricky Rubio told the Grizzlies not to draft him at 2nd overall cuz he doesn't want to play for them haha (ala steve francis)...i love it...

1 last thing.. bring back NBA to vancouver lol...pleaseee

Artest verbally agreed to sign with the Lakers! but that means they probably won't resign Ariza since he's not happy with the mid-level salary of $5.6m the Lakers offered him. Odom will probably be resigned though.

I heard Lebron flew to LA to since the Cavs are interested in Artest...He would be a great fit for the Cavs...and he'd fit great in LA to.....he's a great player...little on the crazy side, but his basketball speaks for itself.

If Artest goes to LA - Cavs should snatch up Ariza.

Turkoglu is going to sign with Toronto now. wonder how this will alter Bosh's decision on whether to stay in Toronto. They still need to make a lot of moves to make the team better and increase their chances of resigning Bosh next season.

AI's chances of going to a good team and looking for the money he wants are going to be grim.

As for Detroit coming to contract agreements with Gordon and Charlie V in principle, I don't think either of them deserve the money they're going to get. Gordon will reportedly get a 5yr $55m-$60m deal and Charlie V a 5yr $40m deal.

http://images.tsn.ca/images/stories/20081108/Cavs_2_85300.jpg
The Cleveland Cavaliers and forward Anderson Varejao have agreed to a multi-year contract, the team announced Thursday.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed, though The Cleveland Plain Dealer is reporting that it is for six years and could be worth as much as $50 million. The paper also reported guard Anthony Parker could be signing a contract within the next few days.

Varejao averaged a career-high 8.6 points last year while also averaging 7.2 rebounds over 81 games, which included 42 starts. Over five seasons in the NBA, all with Cleveland, he has averaged 6.6 points and 6.5 rebounds over 312 games.

"We are very happy to announce that we have agreed to a multi-year contract with Anderson," Cavaliers general manager Danny Ferry said. "From the start of free agency, Anderson made it clear he wanted to be a part of our future and that he loved being in Cleveland. For us, we have been one of the better teams in the NBA the past four years. Andy has played an important role with our team during that time and continuity is important to us. He brings many valued contributions to our team on and off the court and plays with relentless passion and energy every play. He is an elite defender and we want to continue building our strong defensive identity."

In 60 playoff games over the last four seasons with the Cavs, Varejao has averaged 6.0 points and 5.6 boards.

Parker, 34, has spent the past three seasons in Toronto and in the 2008-09 campaign he averaged 10.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.4 assists over 80 games.

For his career, which has also included stops with Philadelphia and Orlando, he has averaged 10.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists over 290 contests.

Wasn't their mid-level exception used to sign Jarret Jack? Chances of A.I. coming in to T.O. is really low. With Calderon and Jack and Ukic, the Raps already have their PG's in line. It's kind of unfortunate how A.I.'s career is going down the drain, but I think he can have success if he begins to realize he just isn't that explosive scoring threat as he once was. Oh and he'll more than likely have to accept the role of 6th man.

anyways A.I is more of a shooting guard then a point. So inorder to make him a threat he has to take lots of shots for the raps. And the raps already signed hedo. So I dont see that working out .

Extremely. I think a lot of people are forgetting that he had the lowest assist-to-turnover ratio just two years ago. Last year was a forgettable season for everyone on the Raptors team, but with all these options I'm expecting the Calderon we saw back when the Raps made the playoffs!

Toronto lixs balls =( I don't see why hedo would go to toronto. Horrible move.

Well Hedo's gonna have a much bigger role in T.O. (and hence, much larger expectations). And well, he's going to have to carry the team in the future cause frankly (as much as I HATE admitting this), Bosh probably won't be back after next season. Even if Mr. Colangelo is doing everything he can to build a great supporting cast for Bosh!

Hedo to toronto is a great move for him cuz he wants a bigger role and yeah with Bosh probably not staying in toronto then Hedo can be their main guy or one of their main guys. Man I can't wait for the season to start. I wanna see how good the lakers will be with ron ron :)

Toronto is a boring team to watch..I notice that they try to play it safe when they have the lead causing them to lose the game at the end.. Someone should tell them that this is not hockey and you can't play a defensive shutdown game....

I'll be happy to see AI in philly and finish the career there.. I mean, he's cheap now! how can you go wrong with that.

As for the lakers....they replaced Ariza with a better defender...better scorer and for the same salary... Fisher/Kobe/Artest/Gasol/Bynum + Odom and crew.... if it all works out, I will predict Lakers vs Celtics final... and get the revenge!!

Haha reminds you of the Canucks during this years postseason when they tried that defensive approach and ended up losing the game (and eventually the series)! I've been watching the Raptors for at least 6 years or so now, and I mean the excitement level will never be like that of the Phoenix Suns (but then again, no team is that fun to watch). A huge problem with the Raptors is that they've always failed to have that guy who could step it up in the final minutes to finish the game for them, cause boring as they may seem to be, a lot of the Raptors games are always closely contested.

Yeah, thats my early season prediction as well. I think the Lakers are almost a shoe-in to make it back to the Finals, seeing as how no one else in the West made any huge dramatic changes that can make them contend with the Lakers. And as for the Celtics, they added a real presence in 'Sheed, and as long as K.G. recovers from his knee injury, they'll be a force to be reckoned with in the East!

Just watched the press conference for AI to memphis. I think him and mayo in the backcourt will be deadly. He'll help out the girzz for sure

Just heard about this too. I also think that a combo of AI/Mayo/Gay will be good.

I still hope he doesn't finish his career in Memphis as I want to see him win a ring...wish him all the best and stay healthy

Yeah lets not forgot the grizz have zach randolph now too. I want ai to win a ring too but I don't know which "championship" team would need him.

09-10-2009, 04:07 PM
I predict they will make the playoffs but will be knocked out in the first/2nd round.. That's if they all stay healthy...I enjoy cheering for iverson but I hate the fact that it will be Heisley's team!!!!!!

AI/Mayo/Gay/Randolph/Gasol NOT too shabby of a team... I mean, why couldn't we have this lineup when they were here... instead we had a line of Bibby/Dickerson/Reef/Harrington/Reeves LOL

Not really racist!

A.I isn't gonna get a ring before he retires..

poor guy deserves one.

grizz are still going nowhere cuz cheap bastard heisley is still owner

Obsideon
09-10-2009, 10:43 PM
I personally think getting AI is a bad move for the Grizz. Yes he might boost the ticket sales a bit more and he was signed for cheap all because it was Heisley running the show. So basically it points to him being a cheap ass and just wants to reap the rewards of ticket sales while paying minimal for a still-impact player simply because no other contender wanted AI's ego.
AI/Mayo/Gay and even Z-Bo are ALL shoot-first ballhogs it should be interesting to see the chemistry on the floor this season ... Gasol is definitely gonna get a huge rebound stat boost with so many clunkers from those guys! (NBA Fantasy owners look out)

411ken
09-11-2009, 07:15 AM
I thought this was a good move by the Grizzlies.. Financially and On court performance. They were not going anywhere with Conley just yet as he's still young so why not bring in AI for cheap and he can score 20+ easily...and he's much more determined to prove something this year so if he stays healthy, I expect a big year from him...

If you guys don't think they can be a playoff team, I don't know what you guys want haha...

woah i didn't realize A.I. is now with Memphis. the team looks good on paper. we'll see how they do during the season. they should be better than they were last year at least haha

wuuhoo
09-11-2009, 07:01 PM
Wouldnt be surpised if they try to trade him before the deadline this season.

C- Thabeet ( sp? )
PF - Gasol
SF - Gay
SG - Mayo / Iverson
PG - Mayo / Iverson

My guess for their starting lineup

Uhh, why would you put Thabeet over Randolph? I hope the grizzlies aren't stupid enough to put a 13million guy or something as 6th man...if so, they deserve to lose hahaha.

no fucking shit


people forget how great he was, just browse around on youtube. And u will know he was GOD LIKE 10 years ago. Age is definitely a bitch for him, but dont forget 07 with denver he was still top 3 score king, 30 pts for each of them with him and melo. DOnt underestimate A.I. king of cross-over, king of top 10 score king in NBA history

people have the tendancy of forgeting things, god damn

rookies dont get full time, Thabeet is too soft, Randolph is starting for sure but he's not a centre, Gasol is


grizz are still going nowhere cuz cheap bastard heisley is still owner

you have no idea how much money it costs to keep a NBA team running? not every city has a market like LA NY Chicago Salt Lake Portland

09-21-2009, 07:27 AM
These guys are pros.. do you guys not think that they will talk amongst eachother and work as a team? and they still have Conley to back up the point.. on paper, I like their team... I just hope they gel right away...

AI will lead the team in assists... guarantee

wuuhoo

ill join a h2h fantasy but most players probably wont bother to update their roster starts, h2h takes the most effort and time

anyways, i have a strange feeling the same time next year, Lebron will be in a Knicks uniform, Bosh in a Heat uniform, Amare or Boozer in a Bulls uniform and Yao Ming with bio-mechanic legs made from the chinese communist party which will rust after two practices
