Game 16: Los Angeles Lakers @ Indiana Pacers

Wow...

Forgot we had a game today, and forgot it's on right now!

It's in the second quarter, Pacers up 38-36. Not sure if I have the time to watch the game today, but let's hope the Lakers pull out of this one with a win. Pacers are a very beatable team, so no excuses today.

 

Damn...

Kobe's taking over today.

 

Whoa, what the...

I check the score and we lost, 118-117? Wow, can't really comment since I barely watched the game at all, but that's disappointing. I can't believe we lost to the freaking Pacers. And 118 points? That's absolutely horrible.

 

Fucking embarassing....our team does not know how to go after LONG rebounds....good god. We let the likes of Rasho, Daniels, and Murphy kill us. Embarassing, also I like how Derek can't stay in front of Ford.

 

They had almost 20 offensive boards if I can recall correctly...just fucking sad.

Pacers have beaten us AND the Celtics. Maybe the real test for the elite teams should be Indiana....I blame Bird.

 

By the way, I want to see Boston lose to Indiana AGAIN. Just to keep Celtic fans quiet.

 

Well if anything, it's a good wake up call for the team. We've been pretty much cake walking through the schedule, and we haven't really showed any sense of urgency at all this season. Yes, it's still the regular season, but like I said before, this team thinks it's good enough to turn it on and off whenever they feel like it. It's a four quarter game people, 48 minute game. I'm hoping this game will be a humbling experience, I mean, giving up 118 points to a potential lottery team? Say what you want about the Pacers beating the Celtics and the Lakers, but they are not that good. We went into game, most likely thinking it was going to be another blowout, but hello reality check.

Anyways, I didn't see much of the game at all, probably only watched like 10 minutes of it, so I cannot really comment that much. Seems like we got killed on the boards, it didn't look like we gave a damn defensively. Tomorrow we go to Philly. I better see some urgency and tenacity from this team because today's performance, defensive performance especially, was absolutely unacceptable.

 

Now see I would have kept quiet after we kicked Indiana's ass tomorrow, but after this comment...

 

I watched all of the 2nd half and it was pathetic. All those blowout wins have led to us becoming lacksadasical(sp.?). We didn't really look like we wanted to win and from what I could see of the second half, only Trevor and Lamar really contributed in the 2nd half, and when I say contributed I mean both on offense and defense. Jordan and Sasha did fine offensively, but defensively they couldn't stop anyone.

Also checked, Indy got 19 off. boards. We also had over 6 turnovers in the 4th quarter.

We, again, looked like a team who just deferred to Kobe when things turned for the worse. Pathetic.

 

I do it out of love

From one silent Bucs fan to a real Bucs fan

 

Same here, that comment does it for me.

 

Also I think when there was the timeout, Phil messed up a bit (MAYBE). I mean he had that whole timeout to figure out what lineup he wanted out there and talk to them or whatever, then when everyone is on the court he subs in Andrew for Lamar....kinda threw things off a bit I mean, Andrew was sitting, while Lamar was one of the only people out there hustling (Never thought I'd ever say that!)

 

Hey I don't frolic into your Mecca of a forum to flaunt all our wins do I?!

Butt-face.

 

As far as I'm concerned, Boston and LA have a common enemy now...besides each other

 

LOL, we'll get our revenge tomorrow.

 

I dunno how long we have to wait to get our revenge lol

 

Rasho > NBA

 

holy fu*kin tip in!!!

 

Tough one to swallow....didn't even get beat by a game-winning jump shot, but by a freaking lucky ass TIP IN
