I don't think the Lakers make the finals

Two weeks ago I was sure they would but starting a couple of days ago I'm thinking now they don't even make it. Kobe should be able to will his team not to show up flat and play like they have no heart but they still do that way too often. They need too much extra motivation, a team like Cleveland's always motivated.

They most likely get by Houston though. Even if it goes 7 I don't see Houston winning that one at LA.

Stan Van Gundy is the worst coach of any team sport in the history of coaching. He's the Teddy Atlas of coaching.

It disgusts me that he makes more money than I do, its bullshit.

i think denver beats LA. one things for sure Lebrons winning it this year no matter who goes from the West.

[Quinito]

Oh yeah. The Lakers will going to the finals. They're taking it this year!

Something to think about...

The Lakers beat the Mavs 3-0, Celtics 2-0, Denver 2-1 and the Cavs 2-0 during the season.

[OumaFan]

Yeah they could still win it all, something bothers me about them though, the way they find it hard to get up for a playoff game, I mean the regular season is one thing but the playoffs

Was Denver this good all season? I mean their record was good but I'm surprised it wasn't a bit better considering how they've looked in the playoffs.

Good one on ESPN interviewing Jeff Van Gundy for a take on Stan Van Gundy I'm available if they need an opposing view.

I agree...

I would laugh for days if the Lakers lost today. Days!

Sadly enough, it doesn't look extremely likely today. The Lakers feel like playing today, ah, good for them.

[kingfrnk]

i would laugh too. the lakers are expected to win so they should win. im picking the lakers to win. but if houston pulls it off then haha lakers. either way neither team are beating the Nuggets.

[OumaFan]

Meh, the Lakers suck, and allegedly are not rapists.

[CutMeMick]

The Nuggets are a better team but I think the experience that the Lakers have will win it for them.

[CutMeMick]

The Magic are looking good in the shooting dept. thus far...

[CutMeMick]

So the LakeShow let one slip away. 1-1

The Nuggest not looking as good as they were.
Melos shot has got to be one of the sweetest shots ever.

He still annoys the shit out of me when he smiles/smirks.
You just lost a fucken game, now whipe that fucken smile before I bitch slap you. (If I was the coach)


The Cavs lose game 1.
LeBron could not believe it he stood there after the buzzard in disbielf.
The Magic hustled and they played hard for the win.

[CutMeMick]

LeBrons 3 tonight was fucken sick man...
1.0 seconds left.

You gotta give the dude credit man.

The whole last 13 seconds.

Kobe, LeBron & Melo are making these playoffs really interesting.

What about Chauncey bouncing off the back of Kobe on the inbound?
