Kobe Bryant will have a big game for the Lakers and have a late game surge, but it will not be able to beat the Warriors. 105 to 94.</font></div> EDIT: Sorry pics aren't working. How do you copy paste a WYSIWYG pics from word over here?
For images, you have to either link directly to them or if they're not already on the web, you have to put em up on the web or imageshack or whatnot and them paste em as image links. I don't know how word works unfortunately in translating links. Even without pictures, good preview. A win by the Warriors will lower the difference between them to only 1 game, and puts a tie for 4th place in the Pacific as a distinct possibility.

I use the WYSIWYG editor so last time I used the links to the pics I had text not pics so I decided to copy the pics onto Microsoft Word and onto JBB, but it didn't work.
Warriors round table is actually comparing Run TMC to our current guys. Heh, I didn't think Richardson, Davis, or Dunleavy score that many points, especially Dunleavy. Different type of player. He's more of a glue guy that's not interested in scoring, but making the play happen. Plus it's really been our bench scoring and ball movement that has been winning it for us. Guys like Zarko, Pietrus, and some Fisher. Fisher, can, when not hucking away 3's make guys like Pietrus better. And same with Zarko who can really get in that lane and find either Pietrus or Biedrins near the rim. Oh and let's not forget Murphy. When he's shooting it well, he's something the other team can't ignore.
What's up with Zarko not playing and Rodney White getting the nod. Must be an injury, sickness or leave of absence.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting UltimateWarrior:</div><div class="quote_post">jesuzz get Rodney White the kcuf out...Where's Zarko?</div> I know what's up? Damn Kobe made a nice off balance buzzer beater.
There is incentive for the W's to lose, as we could soon slide to 10th or later pick,possibly even causing us to lose our # 2. Meanwhile,the Lakers got nuthin' we could move Foyle to point g,play Shika and White,still beat these turkeys...I hear they used to be good....
I watch this game in envy of Baron Davis. I can only imagine how brilliant he would be running the point for the Lakers. Instead he's making a highlight film at the Lakers' expense. Even Adonal Foyle managed a reverse layup, switching the ball from right to left for a pretty bucket. This is the first time I've been able to watch Biedrins, he's a lot more athletic than I pictured. He should be a gem with more playing time and a year under his belt. I didn't expect the Lakers to be very good, but I never imagined they'd be this terrible. Trying to avoid a last place finish in the Pacific division with two games left.

I'm really excited about the Warriors. Baron makes everyone else better and he's not the volume shooter he's made out to be. And then Biedrins shows a lot of promise. Very athletic, very strong for his lack of mass, and he's just extremely aggressive.
Man I love watching the Lakers suck..I cant wait to watch the Warriors demolish those pieces of crap all next season...sorry if I offended you... NOT!!!!

Yes as a Laker fan I have been spoiled. I don't mind them losing or rebuilding, but it's the lack of effort and inconsistency that is painful to watch. And just as I write this B. Diddy picks Atkins and goes in for an uncontested flush! I'm glad to see the Warriors coming around, I usually cheer for them unless they are playing the Lakers. I used to be a season ticket holder when I lived in the Bay, but I lost interest after Cohan took over. Off Topic - Custodian your signature is hilarious
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting shapecity:</div><div class="quote_post"> Off Topic - Custodian your signature is hilarious</div> Thanks I think the big problem with the Lakers, besides the chemistry and injury problems is that they aren't defending well and sharing the ball. I feel bad for the Lakers. The Warriors are doing to the Lakers what Kobe supposedly did in Colorado.
YES! Nice win by the W's!!! The 3rd quarter started a little wierd, but then the Warriors caught fire and it was over. Good game all around. Sadly only one more left in the season.
I never thought i would see the day the Warriors would absolutely crush the Lakers the way they did tonight. Baron Davis- Absolutely amazing, A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!! Jrich- A quiet but very productive game. The guy is a rising star. Murph- Had the stroke today and rebounded. Those 3 3-pointers in a row in the third were daggers. Pietrus- This guy is productive. He couldn't miss today and did a great job on Kobe.
By the time I got home,the first half was nearly done,but the fun was just beginning. Topic: Pietrus is better than Kobe now-discuss amongst yourselves.
