    Oh, and btw, when they TRY to win, they play with EFFORT.

    Lakers WANT to win 4 games, obviously, who doesn't? Yet they barely played with any EFFORT in Game 4 (pretty obvious). If you don't put in EFFORT, you don't TRY.

    Does that make sense?

    Yeah, use proper words to make sense of yourself then others will understand. Forums, I can only understand what you say by your writing so yeah.

    Its annoying when some Lakers fans think Lakers never lose. Because a loss is "not trying" and a win is "actually trying." That takes away from the other team, so just saying.

    I apologize for the confusion, I thought it was pretty clear, guess not.

    I'm not taking anything away for your guy's victory at all. You guys showed a lot of heart and grit, and I really respect that. I respect pretty much every player on your team, from Brooks, to Shane, to Yao, to Deke (shame what happened). The only player I do not care for is T-Mac, Ron Ron is all right I guess. The way the Rockets played in Game 4, they deserve all the props in the world. It takes a lot of heart and determination to do what they did, something the Lakers lack.

    Anyways, not trying to take anything away from the Rockets. I was sorta being sarcastic in the comments because I was pissed as hell in Game 4. As I said before, I have no problem with us losing, shit happens. But the effort we showed on Sunday (I think we can all agree) was absolutely pitiful, and I knew we could do better. Team proved me right today by firing from the start and never letting up.

    Nice hustle by Josh, diving into the stands when the game is already over.

    Yeah, thats makes sense since you were pissed about Game 4. And yeah, man this series has been all about momentum - just swinging back and forth.

    You mean Yao? lol

    Lamar's a fucking warrior though. For all the crap that Laker fans give him, he NEVER lets an injury slow him down in the playoffs. He always plays through the pain and gave us great production off the bench. Judging by his comments after the game, seems like Drew will be starting next game as well. Hopefully he can continue this play, he was very productive for us today.

    Oh ok yeah i edited my post I understood that a second late.

    Nah, I missed TMac too (surprisingly) since I don't like him at all. But I mean nobody could manage to score thats why. They missed all the shots they usually make, even when they were open. Guess everyone was cold tonight and good defense by Lakers too creating turnovers.

    Fish is the third best point guard on our team, I'll agree with that.

    I don't know if Farmar matches up as well in the future, but Shannon should be starting. Let Fish come off the bench and give Shannon his rest.

    Fish will probably play better next series. Chauncey is a GREAT point guard, but he's a much better matchup than Aaron Brooks. Brooks is lightning fast, plain and simple, Derek cannot keep up with him. Chauncey will be different. We'll probably need Fisher's strength to help stop Chauncey, whereas Jordan may get abused.

    I love the way both Jordan and Shannon have been playing though, Fish, not so much.
