NBA Playoffs

I think I've been a Laker fan long enough to call a spade a spade when I see it....I've got enough balls to say when my team is playing like shat. My train of thought was that if they don't get their collective heads out of their arses and quit playing like they expect the game to be handed to them instead of going out and taking it, they're going to get run out of the gym.

aaron brooks puts up big numbers, LA loses. EXACTLY the same as the blind squirrel game 4.

hows that crow this time? need some salt??

shouldnt an LA fan be more supportive of their team, instead of flaking out, being a wishwashy fan, and saying they are gonna lose to denver?

my hero!! :/

I'll eat that crow when he hangs 34. Brooks is benefitting from playing a team that isn't a great defensive squad. Charles Barkley said earlier in the year that the reason the Lakers wouldn't win the championhip this year was because they weren't sound enough on the defensive side of the ball. It's looking like he's right. The Lakers were clueless on the pick and roll,and got screened to death with no adjustment. Anybody could have scored at will on them last night. It isn't about bailing. It's about being a realist and realizing that the Lakers haven't been sharp this post-season. Can they oust Denver? Sure they can,but not the way they have been playing against Houston.

I picked LA to play Cleveland, but im rooting for Houston, im a spurs fan remember

I'm rooting for Orlando, i hate Boston, but its gonna be really tough winning game 7 in boston, esp. because of the refs, i feel they have been pro boston the entire series

but id say itll be
LA v. Denver-I picked LA earlier, am I allowed to swich haha
Cleveland v. Boston-Cleveland will demolish boston, they have homecourt, and KG is out.

Houston and LA on right now, LA out to the quick start.

Lakers move on to take on Denver, and Orlando takes out Boston.

Going to be some good Con. Finals on both sides.

Cavs will take care of the Magic, maybe not as easy as their first two series..but they will
And Denver/LA is a toss up..LA being the best team in the West, but Denver is/has been the hottest in the the West by far.
