This is the Portland Trailblazer series all over again for the Lakers. Game 7 is OURS! PJax has to come up with the adjustments to counter D'Antoni's moves. The last two games PJax hasn't done anything differently, but the Lakers have seen what the Suns are doing for two games now and it's up to the Laker coaching staff to come up with a new plan. In Game 2 Luke Walton was beating his man to the spot and also coming from the weakside because he knew the tendancies of the Suns players. The Lakers defense has to make the difference in Game 7 along with better ball control. The Lakers can afford 12 turnovers max in this game, and we have to kill Phoenix on the glass with second and third shot opportunities, while holding Phoenix to one and done.
Lakers played well today.. the turnovers really killed them. Phoenix scored on msot of LAL turnovers. Lets hope they take care of the ball in Game 7. Lakers are totally outplaying them.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Franchise4Ever:</div><div class="quote_post">Wtf are you talking about? No one ever called Nash a complainer and what truth? That he tried to argue his case to the refs? Every single player in the NBA does that. Puh Please. Again I don't recall anyone calling Nash a complainer and if thats "all you have to say" then don't post if the sole purpose is to annoy and irritate.</div> Ohhh really??...well this is what I came up with (my internet went down the last half hour, but if you want, I can definitely find some more): ----- "And Nash...I've lost respect for him. He was mature, but in his post game interview, he cried about the calls and thinks Raja will be out there." "you know, i lost a lot of respect for Nash tonite ... he's complaining about the officiating saying its unequal and that ppl will focus on raja bells foul because its kobe" "love it when steve nash cries like a little girl.. MAN UP !" ------- Again, the truth hurts doesn't it? I'm not trying to start anything here but during the past few days, there have been quite a few posts about Nash "crying" and "complaining" about the officiating. If you're going to talk trash about Nash, don't be a hypocrite about it and ignore Kobe doing the exact same thing. All Kobe was doing tonight was complaining to the refs about the no calls and didn't even bother to get back on defense on one play because he was too busy complaining. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Franchise4Ever:</div><div class="quote_post"> That he tried to argue his case to the refs? Every single player in the NBA does that. Puh Please.</div> There's a difference between arguing your case and constantly complaining to the refs, which was what Kobe was doing the whole night.

Stepped out of bounds, Offensive fouls, etc. We need to hold Phoenix within 74 points going into the 4th.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting LO7:</div><div class="quote_post">I see your looking for someone to annoy.

Who's the ignorant one? I wasn't trying to be rude or anything. It was just a suggestion and you tell me to mind my own business. That's when I made the post with the picture. Anyways, I'm done. If you can't learn how to follow simple forum guidelines then there's nothing more for me to say.

LO7 didn't insult you once, you were the one calling him petty names. You also starting baiting and tried to irritate a lot of the fans here with your posts. Looks to me like your the only childish one here.

First you said "no one", and then you changed it to "I never.." It is clear that you were only desperate to justify yourself when you have been proven wrong.
whatever guys. just keep it cool. i was going to post up here at the end of the game, but i thought otherwise since i didnt want to get suspended or banned. look at it this way, the lakers stole a game from the suns, and the suns stole a game away from the lakers. we just have to capitalize and win game 7. to tell you the truth, the game shouldnt have even gone to OT. tim thomas's last second shot should not have mattered. why? because we had like what, 1000 turnovers? im pretty sure phil will get into their heads about this one, and i hope the lakers come into game 7 fired up.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting amador08:</div><div class="quote_post">Smush looked like he was depressed wtf is that all about..</div> maybe because they guy sucked the whole game?
Or maybe because he knows the Lakers won't be starting him next year. He's trash. Get him out of here.
you cant say hes absolute trash. the guy was good (ok) in the regular season and earns his pay. remember, i think it was game 4 or something when he smush had that huge game against nash? he scored, he played D, and everyone was behind him. i think the guy just had a bad night, he just needs to focus more and take his time. he was getting burned all night on D and couldnt make a shot to save his freaking life. oh well, we'll see what happens in game 7
This game finally show why Kobe is the MVP. In the last 8 minutes (3 min of the end of regulation, 5 min of OT), the only scorer for the Lakers is KOBE. When I and my gf (who doesn't watch NBA at all b4) saw smush parker doing 1-on-1 struggling at the final 3 min, kwane Brown lost the ball when trying to get the pass, Walton shot a fade away inside the paint and missed, Odom was invisible in the final min, WTF were they doing?? They can't win a game like that. If it wasn't Kobe hitting the fade away, double team 3 pt, wasn't he doing a few difficult layup and wasn't he breaking up the pass by the Suns, Lakers couldn't even go to OT. And what happened in OT? OT shows up how good the Suns are....they got Diaw, Marion, tim thomas(this guy is insane), Barbosa and of cuz Steve Nash...don't forget the suspended Raja Bell, a good defender with 3pt ability. All those guys are way better than Parker (0/5??!please don't do any 1-on-1), Walton, Brown. Only Odom was doing a decent job, and Kobe was amazing but again...no support from the teammates at the end led to a big loss. Don't say Kobe is the ballhog anymore . When your teammates are struggling, you have to do all the offense by urself. Even my gf (she knows nth about bball ) thinks the Lakers have only Kobe when watching the game. This game shows us that if Lakers have no Kobe, I am sure they can't even make the playoff. But if Suns have no Nash, they can still make the playoff as the 7th or 8th seed. Who is the MVP now?? However, I think the future of the Lakers is good after seeing so far in the series. Let all the young players develop and playoff is all about experience.
