you must be misinformed. the laker following has BEEN here.

I'm simply referring to the fans who don't support the team when the team is NOT doing well or things aren't going their way. That'swhen the ones who have been there from the start continue to hold the team down, while the others dissapear. It's no mystery the Lakers have the biggestfollowing on NT, but not all of them support the team on a consistent basis which is my point. No need to apologize anyone, i've erased the messages, itjust gets annoying. I have blocked them to further prevent them to do something like this in the future. PO

Ok cool, I read your initial post wrong. I've noticed that also and mentioned it before. This is nothing new when the Lakers are playingpoorly. I remember I brought this up earlier in the season and got mixed responses

. Get used to it, there are fans like this on every team in everysport.

 

[isiah heaven]

wow...kobe showed what being a leader is all about tonight.

One thing i wanted to note as well tonight was Jackson's lineup change to capitalize on SA's energy loss. Very effective.

PO

Get some screenshots up and expose the dirtbags.

 

[bkzkurse]

nice

 

[vanexellent]

Just by the final score you can see how the series should play out. Dont see either team running up the score because they are both pretty methodical. Duncan off the glass was automatic. I like Sasha making an effort to force Manu to go his right.
Props to the Lakers for not giving up after being down by 20 and gutting out a win against the Champs. Hopefully Lakers can take this series in 6 or 7.

@ Kobe getting outplayed by Bowen and Udoka, mvp my foot. This clown wont sniff 30 points the rest of this playoffs, period. Tim Duncan is just abusing the sorry %#* lakers frontline, i see this being a routine throughout this series, wouldn't be surprised if he ended up with over 40 points. I fully expect the Spurs to blow the Lakers out of the water in the second half making this a rout. The Spurs know that they own the Lakers, you can see it in their eyes whenever they score. Lakers = the most overrated team in the '08 playoffs.

TNT WESTERN CONF FINALS INTRO

yeah i see the switched pivot. it looked like it.

i dont see why people are so amazed at this play personally. ok he did a behind the back, and pump faked then took a layup.

i'm not downplaying kobe but i just wasn't that :O at this play. i was happy we made the bucket tho.

 

[darthska]

PO- if it makes you feel any better, I've got a couple PMs from people talking crap about the game to me, too.

i know im not speaking for other people but u have to see the play as a whole

, ginobli was playin some good tight defense on kobe (almostlike harpring) so kobe had to pulls the thricks out of the bag, several crossovers between the legs which looked sick but didnt phase manu then the short drivewhich didnt phase manu then the behind the back

which created some space but not enough then to the up and under pivot which had him feeling like he was actually in argentina for a second

edit - there must have been a pass and then a pass back to kobe cause i swear i coulve seen a couple between the leg cross overs on that play

 

[slow motion g35]

Cheap shot Spurs choked again...good game Lakers!

 

[three6mafia2007]

at kobe puttin on ZK3s at halftime and also puttin on his cape

 

[bigmike23]

TNT is replaying the game right now. its about time these fools start replaying there games like ESPN they should have done this all season

 

[hybridsoldier23]

I'm just

at these spurs fans complaining about the calls. Come on, your team didn'tblow a 20 POINT LEAD b/c of the refs. Take the L and move on to game two.

and

to people in general talking smack over PM

 

[holdenmichael]

I don't believe the step back establishes the left foot as his pivot, but I'm not completely sure.

Am I the only one that thought he went to the behind the back dribble because it was Ginobili that was guarding him and it's on of Ginobili's signaturemoves?


I only saw parts of the first half and the last seven minutes of the game, but it was enough to come away happy. My earlier Laker4Life moment was probably justa knee jerk reaction to the Lakers getting their sea legs against the well oiled machine that is the Spurs because I had the Lakers in 5 or 6 before the seriesstarted.

From the little I saw, Odom needs to start out in the post rather than the 3-point line because his defenders were either faster (Finley) or smarter (Horry)than they were in the Utah series.

how is that a travel?

i suggest you rewatch the gif and focus on the

RIGHT FOOT (HIS PIVOT FOOT)

repeat as necessary to see why that was NOT a travel

KOBE has THE best FOOTWORK in the league


and to answer the question to WHY that play was amazing?

1) Lakers really needed to score

2) Kobe strung together a series of 3 moves

3) all of the moves served a purpose, he wasn't doing them just for show (kobe's thought process is amazing)

4) Ginobili tried his hardest, and looked like a fool

 

[ps2child]

besides the spurs blowing a 20 pt lead, LA actually had a better bench performance. finley, horry, and barry combined for 2pts is what really stopped the spursfrom winning. Kobe dint even score in the first quarter thats how they got the lead to begin with but they could take advantage of that cause spurs got tiredin the 4th and kobe was just getting started.

im not saying its a travel

, im simply taking a shot at a certain cavalier by saying that they way thatkobe did it is how it should be done, NO TRAVEL, not to mention its almost the exact same type of play

, its just that one did it by traveling

and one didnt
