i think the lakers will take this game. They have the best shot at winning this one.
kobe's got his game face on.
why is kobe chewing gum, going for the carefree approach?
already not guarding the three point line.
Only down by 1.
well, at least they arent shooting lights out tonight
what happens if pau gets in foul trouble? Mbenga?
there goes any offense from the center position.
Only down 3, feels like it should be more. Just like last game.
Way to get the T, Ariza.
man, they just are not gonna let us play tonight.
The refs are really coming down hard on the Lakers.
Bennett Salvatore loves to blow that whistle.
dwight howard already has twice as many boards as the lakers.
Just what you want to see: jacking up long 3's at the end of the first quarter.
why isnt brown in?
Size? I don't know.
brown is bigger and a better defender, farmar tends to look for his own and jack up threes
I'll have to check in from time to time. My daughters are watching a DVR'd episode of Jon and Kate plus 8.
Compelling TV.
Seems like a good strategy right now: rack up fouls.
"I'll have to check in from time to time. My daughters are watching a DVR'd episode of Jon and Kate plus 8.
Compelling TV."
Are they divorced yet?
Haha, Jon clearly hates his life, i love watching that show just for that.
Scraping the barrel.
bench is sucking it up, thanks for that salvatore.
If Kobe can just hit those fadeaways all night long, we'll win!
Only down four at the end of the first quarter? Could have been a lot worse.
Everytime the Lakers get a stop, I'm surprised.
considering every offensive threat outside of kobe is sitting.
Does Catherine Zeta-Jones still have it? Yes or no.
I think Rafar Alston signed a deal with the Devil during Monday's travel day.
Hard to watch this game with all the fouls... especially if you are a Laker fan. But down by only four with the three big men in foul trouble isn't too bad.
vr, Xei
By 'it' do you mean Michael Douglas?
Phil just got fined there.
"Some bogus calls out there, I thought." —Phil Jackson
That'll be $25,000, please!
haha, theres a fine for phil jackson.
he is right though.
farmar with his normal terrible D
"Vujacic's nightmare shooting"
How was Howard in foul trouble in almost every game for the cleveland series and now he is getting like 2-3 a game?
Sasha is building a house out there.
Guess Powell won't be taking any more shots.
Hope Kobe is eating his Wheaties.
powell usually has a nice midrange shot, but i guess that comes with not playing any game time for like two weeks.
shooting 36%, not a way to win a game.
Laker reserves not shooting worth a lick. How much is a lick worth? Guess it depends what you...
vr, Xei
These 3-point misses are killing me. During the off-season the Lakers have to look for a legit 3-point shooter.
they had one, but traded him away.
Lickability?
does my pen have writeability?
Isn't Sasha's regular season 3pt percentage pretty good?
vr, Xei
I prefer drinkability.
X, not since last year.
GORTAT
if we're gonna play crap defense we have to make the ball go in the hoop.
Down 10 points. That was fast.
browns finally in.
Hedo finally missed.
kobe's still working on that gum.
I'm about ready to give up on this game. The offense and defense are both stagnant.
you cant give up on a finals game.
well unless you are the lakers.
There's also Kwame Brown.
has anyone noticed that the rockies have won eight in a row?
In response to that Clippers commercial.
Reddick A solid defender?!? yeah, right.
This is killing me.
Lakers are getting crushed. And yet are only down 11.
a T from the coaching staff, maybe we will get some calls now.
Yep. This game is a loss.
gotta hit those freebies.
Finally a 3!
they are only down 11 and its not even the half.
and, we have kobe on the team.
those refs aint helping though
Rashard Lewis has no reason to complain.
This is the most frustrating game I've seen in a while.
This has been one of the worst officiated games in the series
I really don't care about what Dwight Howard thinks about the trophy.
I keep saying this, but we're only down [fill in the blank].
this is way too many fouls on both ends, let them play.
If the Lakers can keep it within five at the half, it'll be a miracle.
A single-digit lead would be a miracle.
howard is getting whatever he wants.
Howard is going to do that little hook all night long. 12-point lead.
Sweet backhand block by Kobe.
Howard can do no wrong tonight.
this is getting pretty ugly.
The Lakers are doing everything wrong.
im starting to feel like we are the Dallas Mavericks West.
I don't know what Hedo is complaining about. He's up by fucking 12, what the hell is one foul going to do.
Fisher is cold.
There's no whining in basketball! Oh wait, there is.
Like I said, everytime the Lakers get a stop I'm surprised.
Pablo Ozuna just got suspended 50 games due to abnormally high levels of testosterone. Just throwing it out there. GO LAKERS!
Down 12 at the half. Pretty bad.
Like the end of Round 1 of Pacquiao v. Hatton.
Great first half!
Lets hope the second half is better.
I want Phil to talk about last year's Game 4 and try to inspire them.
if we keep playing like this we are going to have alot of spare purple and gold confetti.
100
I really hate these off-days. Except for the puzzles.
Why must Bill Russell always align himself with the enemy?
im waiting for Plaschke's article demanding that Ozuna is kicked out of baseball.
Thanks for the Ozuna news. That's sad.
Steve,the puzzles are almost like the best thing since bread came sliced.
Go Lakers!
do you think howard has any shirts with sleeves?
Phil Jackson better be kidnapping the players' cats and dogs for motivation right now. I am Lugash!
"do you think howard has any shirts with sleeves?"
If I had guns like that, I'd show them off too.
"Phil Jackson better be kidnapping the players' cats and dogs for motivation right now. I am Lugash!"
Nice! Even I had to look that one up.
Phil to Kobe: Cartwheel out of Amway arena, go to parents in Philly, and tell them to STOP WASTING MY TIME WITH FAILURE CHILD!
"Nice! Even I had to look that one up."
Ken Levine had to look that one up. OBSCURE.
good one.
Don't know what to make of the Rockies' eight straight.
Giants lost.
Lugash isn't that obscure, is he? I quote him all the time.
there schedule wasnt super easy. either. the cards and the brewers.
here we go again, good luck gents.
Fish warming up?
were getting nothing from ariza tonight.
Howard is still being a monster.
maybe i was wrong.
Ariza says take that, Nic!
Down to 7!
wait, we are getting nothing from Pau, Bynum, Fish, Farmar, Brown, Vujacic, and the rest.
maybe that will work.
Down to 6!
i woke him up!
Beautiful by Turkoglu.
Down to 5!
The very definition of chipping away.
they dont call him the Turkish Jordan for nothing.
Very good defensive rotations. They are preventing the fast-break, and that's throwing Orlando off.
Actually, they do call him the Turkish Jordan for nothing. As in, there is no competition for the title.
Nice awareness by Pau.
Kobe should have posterized Hedo there.
4 on turk! thats a good thing.
Down to 4!
This game should not be this close. Why did the Magic stop playing defense?
Down to 1!
He is on FIRE
Love that former Bruin!
I love Ariza right now.
wow, bynum got bailed out on that one.
That was close.
Bad foul. Saved the violation.
knotted!
Up by 1!
Wow. Did not see this coming.
This is like a reversal of the second quarter.
the ball is bouncing our way!!
Why are NBA refs so bad? How could he not see the tip out of bounds?
Wow, Bynum is taking (and making) shots.
oh come on
4 on Bynum
Damn, four on Bynum.
That was a bogus foul
Nice hustle, Fish!
alright we got the MO lets keep it going!
I enjoy Jeff Van Gundy's bluntness.
Heads up play by the Fish.
Van Gundy can digress, but he calls it like he sees it.
I say Moses Malone.
Rhianna, stop distracting bynum.
Chris Tucker looks larger than usual.
Quick: Rihanna or Elin Woods?
I agree with MLASF. Are they bringing the original Millionaire format back? That would be nice.
fish is still missing.
Back2back 3-seconds.
pack up the tent howard no more camping.
Elin Nordegren. . .not Mrs. Woods.
Fish is waiting for the fourth quarter.
I hate it when Kobe loses the handle.
Somebody woke up the Magic.
stop shooting fisher.
Nice shot Candy.
"Quick: Rihanna or Elin Woods?"
The correct answer is: Yes please!
damn odom hits the shot even with the reset.
BIG 3
i hate you JJ
Run 'n' gun!
Concur, Nic. I hate all former Dookies.
Gettin' chippy!
damn kobe grabs a board from superman!!
Love how Kobe just commandeered that rebound.
Hope it doesn't come down to free throws.
Let's keep the lead to start the fourth.
Should we be settling for so many threes?
Live by the 3, die by the 3
haha an anti ref chant?
That went in?
What was the crowd chanting?
alright keep it going lakers, this is YOUR game.
i thought it was ref you suck.
That looked just like Jordan's shot off Utah!
Seriously, I don't know what they're complaining about. All I've seen is a missed call on J.J. Redick. That's as close as the refs have come to giving calls to the Lakers.
Orel: Lakers suck.
Or Yankees suck.
I couldn't tell.
Damn, it was Goodwin.
Cheap shot by the Millionaire people.
MLSF, hopefully its another "Goodwin" at the end of the 4th.
I hope the WW2BM is like the original. None of this new rules crap they use with Viera. I want fastest-finger back too.
Alley-oop!
My heart stopped on that alley oop late-up.
with the OOP to start it off!!!
lay-up.
