Re: WCF: Lakers vs. Suns (Lakers lead 2-1) I hope he can just play the way he did last year in the playoffs. Give Pau and Odom a rest and that's all I'll ask for.
Re: WCF: Lakers vs. Suns (Lakers lead 2-1) My theory... the Lakers want to end the series in 5... so that the last game they play is at home. this would help a bit since they will have home court advantage against the celtics? and the celtics will probably move to LA as soon as possible in order to get themselves settled. idk. LOL just popped in my head LOL
Re: WCF: Lakers vs. Suns (Lakers lead 2-1) Did we not prepare for the Suns zone defense? I don't know why the Lakers struggled figuring out how to attack it and settled for 3 pointers. We took 32 three point attempts last night. Our strength is scoring in the paint and punishing them on the inside. Long shots led to long misses and confusion with transition defense leading to easy baskets by the Suns. Robin Lopez had a monster game for Phoenix last night and Amare disrupted our rotation getting Bynum into early foul trouble.
Re: WCF: Lakers vs. Suns (Lakers lead 2-1) Shape, I think they key to that is that we just "settled". I don't think we tried to hit the low post enough. But anyhow, took Amare 42pts and Phoenix taking 22 more FTs.....to beat us by......9.
Re: WCF: Lakers vs. Suns (Lakers lead 2-1) And a career night by Robin Lopez. I'm not worried about the series after the loss yesterday, but the Lakers better learn from their mistakes for the showdown with Boston. The Celtics are going to scheme the same way and bait the Lakers into shooting jumpshots instead of attacking right down the middle of the paint. I also didn't like our interior defense yesterday. Phoenix had too many AND1's. If you're going to foul make sure you give a good hard playoff foul. The AND1 by Dragic really pissed me off. Bynum has no business fading back trying to get a block on a guard. Either go straight up or drop the hammer on him if have to foul. The Lakers need to start playing a lot more physical now because Boston is going to push the issue with physical play and we better start setting a precedence now.
Re: WCF: Lakers vs. Suns (Lakers lead 2-1) Game 4 should be all about the post. Gasol, Bynum, and/or Odom should be getting the ball down low every trip down the floor. We need to force Phoenix to adjust.
Re: WCF: Lakers vs. Suns (Lakers lead 2-1) Los Angeles Lakers fan are abuzz with news that Vanessa Laine Bryant, wife of Kobe, wore a blinged-out T-shirt with the words, "Do I Look Illegal?" to tonight's game.
Re: WCF: Lakers vs. Suns (Lakers lead 2-1) Fucking politics spilling into sports. Fucking annoying. Stupid bitch. Can you be anymore of an attention whore? Sit there, shut the fuck up, clap for Kobe and blow him after the game. That is all you're good for.
Re: WCF: Lakers vs. Suns (Lakers lead 2-1) That's how you influence politics, it's not gonna change itself. Maybe you don't understand it because you've never been a victim of racism. I've never been either but I understand people who are taking a stand against it
Re: WCF: Lakers vs. Suns (Lakers lead 2-1) I'm half Arab, 1/4 hispanic, 1/4 english.. I've been a victim of racism... Either way, she isn't making a political statement, she's trying to get noticed...she's always pulled shit like that. If you want to make a political stand you don't do it with a diamond-filled t-shirt. Go to rallies, speak @ rallies, etc... don't sit front court with a $1,000+ shirt on.
Re: WCF: Lakers vs. Suns (Lakers lead 2-1) Is anyone watching tonight? Lets win tonight and finish up back home, yeah?
Re: WCF: Lakers vs. Suns (Lakers lead 2-1) I'll definitely be watching, but I don't know what to expect honestly.
Re: WCF: Lakers vs. Suns (Lakers lead 2-1) In the recent ESPN Magazine they have a column by an anonymous player in the NBA. He surveyed the league to find out who smells the worst. The top three were Boris Diaw, Leandro Barbosa, and our very own Adam Morrison.
Re: WCF: Lakers vs. Suns (Lakers lead 2-1) Chris Paul could definitely assist them. [video=youtube;4BTmTVh40Co]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BTmTVh40Co[/video] [video=youtube;oy88jxJAG8o]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oy88jxJAG8o[/video]
