What you got to say now, Laker haters! (yes, i'm including you, Bryant, even though you my man and all) Right now, the series has swung back into the Lakers' favor. If they take Game 4, it'd be an uphill task for the Rockets to emerge victorious in the series. It's nice to see Kobe stepping up to the plate and doing something when his team needs him the most, even though at one point he missed 10 of 11 shots. At least he hit them when they mattered the most.

The Bench Mob also went buckwild too. Farmar and Odom provided some spark off the bench and if they keep it up, they have a date with destiny. They've sharpened from Game 1 and if they do what they did yesterday, they can wrap this thing up at the Staples next week.

Also glad to see Orlando turning a few heads. I honestly wanted Boston out last week against Chicago but that wasnt to be. Orlando are a bit more experienced than Chicago and if they play smart, improve defensively and outgun Boston, we might have a surprise on our hands.

 

I tried to tell ya. We are going to take this series 6 games or less.

 

After L.A.'s victory last night, I ain't mad at nobody.

 

Unfortunately, LA always plays a little sloppy when they come back from breaks of 7 days or more.

Once we get our rhythm going, they're a good team. I wasn't too suprised w/ the way the game went last night. We did to Houston what we have been doing to them all season. That being said, it doesn't mean it won't be a dogfight.

Then, we will be ready for Denver.

 

They were saying something similar about Farmar. He gets in the groove as a starter, but when he's on the bench and doesn't get much playing time, he's out of it. He stomped ass last night.

 

i know none of you want to talk about the nuggets being up 3-0 over the mavericks...it's silently making laker fans all over the country just a little leary...

GO NUGGETS:smt031​

 

I guess we're to focused on the future opponents, Cleavland, to even give Denver a passing glance, while we should be, even though LA won 3 outta 4 against Denver this season.

 

I am a witness.

 

Me too. Cavs took care of business tonite. It was a good win. Now it's on to game 4 Monday!

 

No, it's not.

I'm not worried about the Nuggets, either.

We handled them in the regular season.

Now, all of these rounds are going to be a fight but if we play as we should, it will be us in the Finals.

Yao is done, the series is a wrap.

 

Yup.

 

Wow. NOT a good start for the Lakers. A T already thrown at Kobe. Damn. Like they said, LA isn't playing hard enough.

 

True, but I still think the series will end Game 6.

 

No worries, the Lakers came out sluggish, mentally unprepared and deserved an embarrassing loss, which is exactly what they got. Come back to L.A., regroup and win the next two contests.

 

I hope so. Lakers can't just be sluggish whenever they want. It's understandable for game 1 when you haven't played for a week. But this is the 4th game. There's no excuses even more so this time around. Lakers need to finish this one off at home. Is it LA at home next game, back at Houston next after that, then back at LA after that? Or is is LA at home the next 2 and game 7 at Houston? Not a good look in the eyes of Denver.

 

The next game is tomorrow in LA.

Game 6 is in Houston on Thursday.

If necessary, Game 7 will be in LA on Sun.
