The Official Los Angeles Lakers Thread

[Ray McKigney]

If Nash even gets a scrape he's out for a month.

Tonight is the night.

 

Any of you nervous? It's been a crazy season so It would suck to be eliminated from the the playoffs in the last game of the season.

[Angel Oracle]

No prob, Memphis has this.

 

But yeah, now I'm sorry they acquired Nash and his umpteen ailments.

Guy just needs to retire already.

[Angel Oracle]

Lakers are in the post-season. Memphis leads Utah 81-67 with 2:45 to play.

Now let's get the #7 seed by beating Houston.

[tennischmp]

Yep Lakers will get run out of building by OKC, need to win this game to get 7th

[nate]

#7 seed would be great.

[Punk]

If we want a chance to get past the 1st round we're going to have to win tonight.

[SoWhat]

Why isn't there a game day thread??

[tennischmp]

wow that bastard

[Punk]

wow

[Punk]

[nate]

This game is insane

[tennischmp]

The Lakers are playing so awesome D. Gasol has been a beast tonight

[Punk]

What a game.

[tennischmp]

The Lakers have a good draw. Play SAN, get to miss out of LAC, Memphis and only see OKC in the WCF

Steve Blake is impressing the heck out of me.

[HuntingtonMike]

They played good team basketball.

[Jay]

Great win

[nando714]

Lakers are playing like they have nothing to lose and no pressure. I love it!

[Angel Oracle]

Blake is indeed playing inspired basketball.    Howard is cleaning up the glass.    Gasol is rounding into form.

Main issue going into the Spurs series is of course not having a true go to person, but if they continue to play team basketball to make up for that, maybe they can steal a couple of games and make the Spurs earn it.

[Ray McKigney]

That game was terrible yesterday. I don't think they'll win a game in the series.

[Jay]

Wednesday's game was even worse.  Howard was a bum with those stupid fouls.  Gotta stop the turnovers.  Seems like they always want to throw a bounce-pass into Gasol at the free-throw line but half the time it bounces off of someone's legs.  Or, somebody just throws the ball at the basket hoping that Howard comes up with it and dunks it.

 

Gotta give props to Blake though he's really trying hard.  Sometimes he forgets he's Blake and makes an embarrassing turnover.  How's Blake anyway, is he available for tonight?

 

Nash is sucking it up, obviously hurting out there.

 

It was funny Charles Barkley during halftime on Wednesday said, "I have San Antonio in five" LOL thanks Charles for the generosity.

[Punk]

We won't see Blake for the rest of the series.

[Ray McKigney]

Finito.

[Punk]

Glad this crazy season is over.

 

Just one more chapter before we close the book and that is the Dwight Howard situation. I think he'll re-sign.
