In case you missed it, or were choosing to overlook it with a poor attempt to "belittle" someone:

I wasn't aware of the by-law stating that a person cannot be a long-time fan of 2 teams.

You may have a seat now, good sir.

Real ugly game if you take out Kobe and Ray's games.

Lakers finally played some D.

It was real strange to see KG, Pierce, Pau, and Odom all struggle. Game 4 should be a much better game on both sides.

Actually, you're absolutely right in asking 'Nothing to cry about?'




We won, so there's nothing for Laker-haters or Lakerfan-haters to cry about.

- When we lose, it's 'Oh my gosh, you guys suck. lulz Kobe suxorz.'


- When we win, it's... ... ... *crickets* They've got nothing to cry about.

Exactly. With little ammo to has there's no reason for those people to be here. Add to that the fact that there was no controversy (I have yet to watch thefull game or see the boxscore) to spark debate- not crying- between fans and non-fans.

I watched the last 7-10 minutes of the game and the three things that stuck out were common themes to Laker fans:

- Lamar Odom has no touch on his inside shots which is what leads to all of those turnovers and horrible looking shots

- the perimeter players do a horrible job of getting Pau the ball at the right time and place in the post. they've been horrible at post entry passes sinceShaq was traded

- poor defensive rotations due to poor communication and chemistry

I was telling the person I was watching the game with that I wasn't certain that the Lkaers outside of the obvious two + the coaching staff unsderstoodthat they can win ugly. ALL they have to do is win. I don't believe they have a good record in close games so I hope that tonight will help them win uglyagain when necessary and make them comfortable enough with playing ugly to execute better.

Read this slowly and understand it well: I'll keep complaining until the free throw numbers are closer to each other. Right now, we'redown 24 (95-71). When that gap closes, I'll stop complaining. We ARE going to the basket, but things like the following still happen: Gasol getting his armstraight HOOKED by Brown, and absolutely NO CALL WAS MADE. We ARE getting fouled, but it's not getting called the same.

When that gap closes, I shut up about it. Not a second sooner. If we don't win another game, and we lose the series 4-1, but the final free throw tally issomething like 132-125, you will not hear one word about the gross free throw discrepancy, even if the Lakers are still the ones with fewer FTs. As long as thenumber is close, I don't care who has more. But after 3 games, they're up 24. That's not close. So I still care.

So yeah, my team won, but aren't we still down on the series? I think so. You thought that one win would even up a series where we were down by 2 games?Hilarious.

You'd know if you actually read the exact quote.

If it offends you that I'm a Celtics and Suns fan, own up to it. And seek guidance to resolve it.

Don't come at me for no reason.

No one owes anyone here anything except common respect.

Back to the thread:

I will say this Lakers fans, while I'm glad the Celtics won the first 2 games, I now fully understand your frustration with the referees in those games. The calls weren't right in 1 and 2, and they weren't right in 3. Bennett Salvatore could not stop blowing the whistle. The officiating is wrong. Very wrong. So respect to you guys for keeping it relatively cool after having every reason to be up in arms, especially for game 2.

I saw that you mentioned that you didn't see the entire game, but Gasol has zero confidence on the block right now and the other Lakers havezero interest in giving it to him in the post.

it's neither ! pau is getting grabbed,held, and hooked without any whistles being blown...but it is what it is...we just need to look at thepositives and continue to build from there.

Absolutely! And I've been watching older games recently, and we even had some bad entry passes WITH Shaq on the team, but he was so strong athis position that he was still able to reach out/up/both and grab it. But definitely, our entry passes are trash for the most part since Shaq bailed.

 

[berkeley boy]

Just got back from class. I'm happy we won. We needed this one no doubt. Judging by the first half, the refs were trying to make up for Game 2. Stilldidn't appear to have an evenly called game.

Um, who said I was a Laker hater? Because I've never said anything of the sort.

NT: Where immature assumptions, misinformation, and baseless disrespect happens.

 

[fro b giant]

The moving KG screens are still an issue!
