Classic case of why stats don't matter. 

Dead serious right here, this might be the worst game Pau has played as a Laker.  I'm serious.  And I know he has "good numbers" 
 
Wait...i didn't know that was Curry's first name. Wardale or Wardell or Wordale?

What'd he do, or in that case, what didn't he do?

I only watched the last few minutes, where it was straight Kobe-mode, so I didn't get a good grasp of what was going on.
 
Eh, go Bulls tomorrow.

Phil did right by sitting Pau's $@% out the rest of the game. Just got to play better man, doesn't get any easier with @Portland, OKC, and San Antonio in the next 3. At minimum we need to go 3-1 in these last 4 to keep HC against everyone sans San Antonio and Chicago.
 
He was playing soft JA, may have been the least impactful 7/9 I've ever seen. Just getting outworked by DLee and Lou, not contesting ANY shot at the rim on the defensive end. All in all just in LaLa land (no pun intended).

Drew in his 5/5 had a much greater impact on both ends than Pau did, just piss poor effort on his part tonight. We just lucky all the other elites we're fighting positioning for are losing as well. And yet before everyone starts the panic mode again, we still have the best record in the league since the All-Star break

It's really quite ridiculous. Spurs are dropping games. Mavericks are dropping games. Lakers are dropping games. You'd think these guys would bust their +!% trying to get seeding, but maybe it's a sign that they're tired. Either that, or they're content with what seed they are at. The Mavericks and Spurs played without some guys recently, but it's surprising me even more that after the huge win against Dallas that LAL hasn't take that and rode out the rest of the season trying to take that one seed. They definitely COULD have.

I can kind of see why Pau had a bad game, David has been playing really well recently, and Lou is honestly no slouch down in the paint. Lee and Lou can be VERY physical.
 
Phil said point blank, we are going to rest our regular as much as we can.  Kobe comes back in with just over 4 minutes left in the second quarter, then sits 8 minutes in the second half while we fall behind by 20.  Pau played like 2 minutes in the 4th, shot an airball, jogged the floor, and got scored on like a porn star.  They know they  are in the 2 seed, they aren't going to kill it til round 1 starts.  It was similar last year, except that was more injury related obviously. 


Pau pretty much stopped going for boards and is just letting Bynum go after everything, his 7 buckets?  Like 4 of them were dunks or 1 footers, he didn't fight for position, he basically floated around un interested.  PMatic mentioned in mid second quarter in the Laker thread.  We've seen it before.  He'll be fine in a week. 
 
Every player has a sequence in which they go through to shoot a FT, take that away they lose their flow and rhythm.
Every player has a sequence that takes less than 10 seconds except Dwight.
 
If Lee/Monta/Steph can play this way consistently..

These last two games have been really impressive by those three. Now get some consistency from your Center and have Dorell step his game up, get a few bench guys who can help out, and maybe the Warriors can be relevant.

Warriors always find a way to put together a great stretch of games when their season is over and they're eliminated from the playoffs.

But Warriors need a lot more depth and an upgrade at center, then they can maybe look at contending for a low seed. But to really be relevant and move higher than that, Curry or Monta will definitely need to be moved, and the right trade will have to be made. I think the team is young so that's part of the reason for the inconsistency, there were some good things that took place this year and there's something to build on. If Riley can make the right moves in the off-season we could be looking at something.

ehhh ive been here since 1999. back in the first 3 peat of the lakers and heated kings/lakers rivalry. there was a good amount because there were no warriors fans. there were kings fans instead
laugh.gif
 

looking back now the homerism of laker and kings fans was disgusting. i think i even got banned for fighting with a pacer fan lol

trolling was not as bad because there werent as many members as there are now.

i think that time is when people on this board started really hating laker fans because the laker fans back then were 10x more obnoxious and arrogant as they are now. You still have the notorious 858's and salvioutlaws currently but back then you had 20 of those types of dudes to go along with 20 zodoggs. so yea it was laughs for days

and alot of people can hate on laker 4 life all they want but he really was the original darth denzy. alot of you guys just dont get when someone is just messing around.

i think samshox is the only kings fan still active on this board. all the rest moved on to other teams or hate on the lakers from the rafters

Kurt Rambis is an idiot his

1. Insistence on the triangle despite not at all having the personnel to play.
2. He didn't do anything to resurrect Beasley's career other than just let him play and shoot a lot. Beasley numbers aren't better than they were in Miami, he's just been allowed to have the ball in his hands way more than he should, he is an inefficient chucker at this point.
3. Also getting through to Love? How it took Love getting a 30-30 to force this guy to play him minutes consistently is beyond me. Love forced this dummy to play him  he didn't get through to anything.

He is an idiot, and playing Rubio in a triangle will not be too his strengths.
 
smh at the Lakers droppin 3 in a row like that...2nd spot sewed up tho...wonder what kinda effort gonna show up for the Spurs game
hats off to the Hornets hope they keep ballin and hold on to that 6....looking forward to seein them give the mavs a good run
 
@NotGaryBusey: LeBron James' mom was arrested for[..]ault and used her one phone call on LeBron. THAT is the only ring he'll ever get ...
 
After last night, OKC is only 1 game behind Dallas and owns the tie-breaker. Anybody think they'll take over that 3 seed?
