I can't believe what I just saw. The Hornets were up 3 and Paul stole the ball with less than 24 seconds left in the game. All he had to do was hold the ball, get fouled, and put it away with FTs. Instead, he pushes it and runs into Fisher. Fisher draws the charge and then hits a three on the other end. What a fuck up. Go Lakers. I want distance between us and the Hornets.
Yea that sucks for him. But damn the Staples Center Blows! By far the hardest ref's to play against anywhere in the NBA. AyyyO - Gaay O
I got no problems rooting for the Lakers if it means putting more space between us and any of the teams chasing us. It's not like we're going to catch them in the standings anyways so why not have them beat our competition in the process???
A Lakers loss doesn't hurt them at all, so it's pretty easy to root for them in this game. All to the greater glory of the Blazers!
IMO a Blazers fan should root for anyone that benefits our team, if it be the lakers, then so be it. There is always the playoffs to root against la.
I view rooting for the Lakers to beat one of the teams we are fighting with for a playoff spot to be like rooting for us to tank the past few years to get a good draft pick. My head says it is a good idea, but my heart won't quite let me do it.
Yeah, that '91 team may have been the best team in that three-year run. Poor Uncle Cliffy... never was the same after that in playoff situations. Oh well, CP3 had a brain fart for the last 20 seconds. And Derek Fisher is just uncanny making clutch 3s, so annoying.
Must be nice to be a moderator and have the ability to go back and edit all the posts from the last couple of weeks, eh, barfo??? Your hatred of CP3 was pretty evident
...I was more amazed that he did not PASS the ball off on the break!!! THE BEST PG in the entire league right now did not PASS the ball when he had a virtual 3 on 1 break going the other way after his magnificent steal!!! After that monumental error, he and the rest of his team deserved to lose...even with the refs fucking him by fouling him out of the game after Kobe clearly pushed his ass into the hardwood!!!
Yea, it was unbelievable. It was stupid of him to even run the break at all, but then to not pass it for an easy score? Amazing. Total meltdown. Can you imagine if that was a playoff game? He would never live it down.
Its tough to watch Laker games because the opposing team always plays 5 on 8. The only reason I like BOston/LA games is because one of them (or both, lmao) are going to complian about the refs, and its simply unbelievable because the other 80 games a year they get all the calls. But I guess the NBA has to make LA and Boston good. So while Staples is no where near to the best home court advantage from a stadium/fan standpoint (The Rose Garden shits on it, imo) it is probably the hardest place to win, which is sad.
