robbie - Go play in traffic or something...no need to jump into this thread. This is just a fun thread for Laker fans to discuss and show love for our boys.
The Lakers DO play good enough defense...WHEN THEY NEED TO. People like you who say they don't play enough defense obviously don't watch the games. And NEWSFLASH: The Lakers SWEPT the Cavs AND Celtics this season. Hmmmm... You remember last year when you and all the other Celtic homers were talking about how the Celtics swept the Lakers, right? So now you're changing your tune???
This thread is all about the LAKERS QUEST TO THE TITLE IN '09 BABY!!!!

lets say its lakers-cavs for the finals...which it will be most likely.
I will agree with you that it is impressive that the lakers are the only team that won any game of substance on clevelands homecourt....that is a good thing for LA....but what are the chances they do it again?? what really are the odds?? and also what are the odds that LA beats the cavs three games in a row in LA?? its proven that this is an extremely difficult task...not spread out in 7 games, but 3 consecutive times, same court, same teams....you know that cleveland will most likely steal one of those three, and you also know that for a team that went 39-2 (one of those losses was by 1 point to the 76ers without their best players) at home the probability is very, very good they will go up 2-0 in the series right out of the gate.
now lets say the series shifts back to cleveland with LA up 3-2....again, the cavs were 39-2 at home....do u think it is very possible they win the final 2 games at home to win the series??
i'm looking at scenarios, i'm looking at probabilities, if the lakers had homecourt i'd feel differently....teams just play different at home look at the jazz, the celts, etc etc....my money is on Cleveland, last year it was on Boston....with how these refs manage these games, not having homecourt will be an uphill battle the further the playoffs go...i'm sure david stern would absolutely LOVE to see LBJ get his ring this year before he jumps ship....that will be a revenue MONSTER for the NBA in a tough economy.

Theres no need to panic. Its only one game Laker fans....its only one game. They are just rusty and Kobe is under the weather. There is no way Houston will beat Lakers in a 7 game series.

Amazing how horrible the Lakers played yet they actually had a lead in the 4th quarter. It was truly amazing that they were still in the game as shitty as they played. They appeared to be rusty, lethargic, flat, and totally out of sync. Honestly don't think they could've played any worse. And Kobe must have been pretty sick, sicker than he and staff let on. I fully expect a Lakers bounce back win on Wednesday and I think it's quite possible we see the Lakers win the next 4 games. I'm not concerned one bit. IF and WHEN the Lakers lose a 2nd game in this series I might get a little concerned...
Let's get 'em Wednesday Laker fans! Nite all...

This is hilarious...simply one game.

Yao will OWN Bynum all series. Funny how all last playoffs the reason people used as an excuse was Bynum was out. The kid was below AVG last night and I expect will continue to be this series.

LOL! Yeah, Bynum just came back from injury and he's obviously not ready...he's NOT the player he was before he got injured last season and he's NOT the player he was before he got injured this season. He is a difference maker, but, he simply hasn't had enough gametime to get in his groove. The Lakers are clearly better with Lamar Odom and Shannon Brown on the floor right now.

Question for you robbie? ... Who should be more concerned? Laker fans or Celtic fans?
i'm not a cavs fan....i'm a celts fan through and through...but i'm also a realist....without KG, Powe, and homecourt advantage I am being honest in saying I don't like their chances...at all....
see my paste above from a post I made on page 4....I already told you i'm not confident in the Celts chances because of reasons above....this isn't about my team that I love going any further then yours....its about your over the top, pump your chest ra-ra lakers posts getting constantly moosed.
