The Official Los Angeles Lakers Thread

[beatlesrule]

Friend is telling me Lakers are talking about boycotting tonight. It's on 710 espn radio.

[m0nkey]

Once the bucks started today then the rest of the teams are going to follow.  Maybe even tomorrow too.

[St1ck]

The NBA just canceled all of today's games. Dammit. I was looking forward to watching the game tonight.

NBA players vote to resume playoffs.

Lakers play tomorrow.

Watched some of the 2nd half at a local bar and grill last night.    AD being AD (43 pts), and then LBJ in the postgame interview video bombs him.

First post-season series win since 2012

On to the 2nd round and probably the Rockets, no big upsets yet from the first round except for the Heat sweeping the Pacers in a 4/5 series.

Lakers even up their series with the Rockets at 1-1, while the Bucks barely stay alive in OT, still trail Miami 3-1.

[Angel Oracle]

Bucks are eliminated by the Heat.

Lakers go up 3-1 on the Rockets with their third straight win.   They’re destroying the shorter Rockets on the glass.  

Notice that Howard hasn’t been playing, probably due to the Rockets mini-me lineup?   He should be fresh for the expected epic Lakers/Clippers Western Conf finals.

Correct 

[Angel Oracle]

One-sided from the start tonight

19-37 3s, after they made 18 of their first 30, and as usual destroyed them on the glass.

On to first Western Finals since 2010

Lakers looking good today.

Need to finish off the series quickly enough, and don’t give the Nub Pups any ideas about another 3-1 comeback.

AD

So awesome 

[Angel Oracle]

It’s become the AD/LBJ vs Jokic/Murray show.

Hint to Nub Pups: AD shoots threes, it’s okay to guard those.   Especially take note, Plumlee, LOL at double teaming LBJ when there wasn’t enough time for AD to pass to him and have him shoot.

I think people sometimes forget just how good AD is. 

I agree

[Angel Oracle]

More AD/LBJ, plus four others in double digits

Rebounding was much better, Jokic being in foul trouble did help. The real Howard showed up.

Murray is ridiculous, elite PG.

Caruso needs to watch the fouls late in games.  Committed two after only a few seconds elapsing on the shot clock.

Up 3-1, finish off the series tomorrow, and don’t put any comeback ideas in the Nub Pups minds.

Absolutely. And making it worse, the people making the decisions don’t seem to have the qualifications to be doing so.

I agree

my interest in watching this is somewhere between jogging in Palm Springs during august and trying to name all of the offensive tackles that have played for the Jacksonville jaguars (no offense, @Vegas Halo Fan) in the last decade.

[Blarg]

Hydrate and you can do it.
