For all the talk about the Suns d (or lack there of), the Lakers haven't been playing much D themselves. Also, why are the Lakers standing around the perimeter playing hot-potato with the ball while the Suns sit back in a zone? Where is the penetration? They are playing right into the Suns hands.

You mean (gasp) they're calling it almost as lopsided as they did in LA?

I guess if you mean, not sending Kobe to the line yeah. But he ain't no punnai like a certain stat stuffer, no complaints from him. He'll be all right. LOL @ people saying that Kobe plays with the better team. Are you guys watching these games.

Nope. Can't agree with you on that one. Pau and Ron-Ron are both better than any Cav not named LeBron.

I'm sorry but Artest is a shell of himself. I said it before, he peaked in Indiana. Artest's offense consists of weird looking 3 pointers. He can still defend though. Gasol is useless unless Kobe can set him up. I mean if his jumpshot is going, he is very effective. Shaq is short spurts can be just as effective as Gasol in the paint. Jamison is better than Artest. Bynum would be the x-factor but the guy is bidding with Oden for the role of Mr. Glass. Kobe still needs to score a lot to get close wins. If he wasn't needed then he would be averaging 18ppg.

So wait...is the complaint that the refs are giving it to Phoenix, or that Phoenix are better than the Lakers minus Kobe?

Haha. I love seeing the Lake fans lose their shyt because the refs arent hanging out of their back pockets like their always accustomed to seeing . Dont trip, once they go back to staples, ya'll will be getting your 35 free throws in the fourth quarter, Im sure.

Just to be safe, why dont ya'll email Stern and make sure everything's cool between him and Jerry Buss.

Nash/Amare should be enough said but Nash hasn't been himself and age is creeping in. I always been a fan of JRich when he was doing his thing in Oakland. The job Gentry did to develop his bench can't be dismissed as well as his focus on post defense.

Gasol is nice but I never thought he was on the upper echelon players. Odom is what he is. Never know what you get. After you put in Odom, who on the Laker bench scares you? Farmar? Shannon Brown? Like I said Kobe has to score to help Sasha and Morrison get those rings.

On the refs, they are doing as expected. Suns are at home so they will get the whistles like Seb said but this notion that the Lakers team is stacked and Lebron's is not has always been exaggerated. Next people will be telling me how Dwight has to play with a bunch of scrubs like Carter and Nelson.

Man, I don't trying to hear it. Kobe will be on his game. He don't need free throws to dominate and Odom already has a Kardashian, so Kobe's mind is right. Meanwhile yo boy is on vacation fuming about his boy and trying to figure out a way to screw old man Donnie while trying to play the "good" guy.

Looks like this will go six games at least. Reddick is this seasons Turkoglu.

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

He was decent last year too - but Turk was on fire. They should have kept him but i know they couldn't for what he was asking. Mistake on both parts.

I am hoping this gies to 7 - I think the magic didn't wake up until game 4 and could have won this series if they had been more focused. The celtics are really good but i think the magic can take them. At this point it is probably too late though.

Definitely turning out to be a serviceable player. Seems more confident about what he is doing.


...And yes, he would not be a bad guy coming off the bench for the Knicks if you could get him on the cheap. Not a savior, and still a defensive liability at times (plays some "chippy" D, now, though), but not a bad piece in an MGA type offense.

My occasional disdain for Pierce and my persistent annoyance with KG histrionics is offset by my like/love of Doc, Ray, Sheed, Baby, Rondo, N8 and of course, Brian Scalabrine.

Is Gortat's chest made of iron? How did Daniels get a concussion from bumping his head into him?
