so the big question now is, can the lakers show pride and not let them close them out on their home floor.

Maybe next year boys.

Wow, this is amazing seriously. Hardest choke job in history, courtesy of the lakers.

KNO and anyone else that saw it.

When I said "just roll over and die" about Kobe, I meant please give up, because I was scared of 4th quarter heroics.... just wanted to clear it up that I don't wish ill will on Kobe(my 3rd fave player).

Vujacic on the bench with like a minute to go said " FCUK MAN ! FCUK !" That was classic especialyl when he threw his elbow at who ever was touching him.

I've been saying for a while that boston was winning game 4 but Lakers would win the other two games in LA and I'll stick to it. I'm a Celtics fan but I give credit to the Lakers. If Odom can play the way he started tonight for the whole game the Lakers should win. Essentially, Lakers need either Odom or Pau to step up. Lakers win this next game and save face in LA only to lose game 6 in Boston.

The NBA Finals is all about clutch. The Spurs would have delivered that and I really wish they were in these NBA Finals to enable us a lengthy series.

PJAX, on ESPN, he looks so confused about what just happened. He's like...wait, Doc Rivers....??

What do you expect when you have soft euros on your team?

Just a total choke job by the Lakers.

Wow, I understimated the value of Andrew Bynum to this team.

Just an awesome game by Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and James Posey.

Seriously disappointing.

Lakers in 9 hohohohoho

Big Bird · Post #13 » by **Big Bird** » Fri Jun 13, 2008 4:12 am

Can we please stop with the Kobe slugfest? The whole team just quit playing after being up by 20. Inexcuseable.

I'm a fan of basketball and you people disgust me to the fullest.

Major props to Boston and to their defense... it takes a lot of heart to come back from a 20 point deficit. They gave the Lakers a regular ass whooping. Great comeback and a great win.

I just hope the Lakers can muster a Game 5 win... I don't want to see the celebration in our house. :/

cheers

LA have nothing to play for now but pride. The question is, do they have enough pride to win game 5?

Post #15 » by **Flash3** » Fri Jun 13, 2008 4:13 am

Did Kobe and his Lakers choke tonight?

Or was it just that the C's wanted it more?

You wanna be the superstar. You gotta take all the blame. Fair or not.

I'd hope for us not to let them take it from us in LA, but that's unlikely. They bent us over and gave us that good hard pipe. There was a blood sighting. It hurts.

He's certainly not a superstar. At least not on the level of Shaq.

I don't know wich are the dumbest. Kobe Haters, or Kobe clueless fans?

Who wins Game 5?
