If the Lakers would play as the team they are then we wouldn't even be watching this game.

Next game will be a good game. Magic have something to prove and I know if they lose people will be saying that the panicked lol.

Living is LA, hearing all the people say the Rockets suck, these are just the people that only watch sports during the big events like the women and guys who don't watch sports at all then try to give their opinion like they have been watching all season. They say the Lakers kicked their ass by 40 then I tell them that the Lakers suck for losing two games by double digits to a horribly undermanned team and we shouldn't even be watching a Game 7. I really want the Nuggets to win the series. It's really bad here in LA cus all the people that don't watch any sports like the Lakers and Raiders and can't name more than one person in the team other than Kobe and sure as hell can't name anyone in the Raiders.

I'm gonna laugh if the lakers struggle to beat the yao less Rockets but blow out the Nuggets. Plus you know its setup Kobe vs. Lebron. the ads tell it all. Vitamin Water, the Nike commercials which I can't stop laughing at. first was lebron with the powder, then kobe with the rings in the case.

Yup.. caught it yesterday. Awesome documentary. It was an awesome insight to what Kobe does, and just what goes on in general during timeouts, lockerroom, etc.. I was absolutely thrilled to watch it. I loved how in the end, he just takes his family in the car after the game, and just drives away home; "ah, another good day at work."

I super hope Lakers will take care of business this week. After this week, I won't see anymore TV :(

I watched it was kinda boring. I was hoping to see more behind the scenes. 2 hours on a single game that was eventually a blow seemed like a waste. It woudl be interesting to see from the start of his day to the end of the game though.

Supposedly he wakes up hella early and goes work out with Sasha.

I did find it funny at the end walking to his car, I assume that's where all the players parked their cars. Kobe of course has his range rover you can clearly see the others were a benz, porsche and in there was a prius and a Rav 4 or some other toyota in there. Wonder who cars were they.

I'm sure its not Pau or Bynum they won't fit even with the seats pushed all the way back.

I saw bits and pieces of it. A typical "fluff" piece, no real insight. Probably one of the worst documentaries I've ever seen.

And when the Nugs are done with your lakers you'll being saying :thumbsdown:

Yea Lakers shouldn't be happy with themselves at all. Kobe said in the press conference after the game that they are bi-polar which they are. They should not have even gone to a game 7. They are too inconsistent to win a title.

Last year, the Celtics were very inconsistent the 1st 2 rounds.

Orlando's playing well - they lead by 7 at the half - yet I can't help but think they should be up by more. Boston did not handle the last couple minutes of the half well at all.

Orlando is starting to run away with it... it's funny how nobody can guard Turkoglu..

Yeah, the offense has been stagnant, and on defense they're having major problems defending the screen and roll. Bad fouls, bad TO's, and Pierce missing FT's and layups don't help Boston, either.

I guess in retrospect Dwight Howard knew what he was doing after game 5.

Orlando has talent but I thought their over-reliance on the 3pt shot (which is usually fatal in the playoffs) coupled with Boston's experience would see Boston prevailing. I'm pretty shocked.

I thought Orlando would win, but I really thought it would be a close game. This is pretty stunning. I hope this indicates that we'll see a good series when they play the Cavs.

Coming from a loser like you? :laugh: How about LA last year on their own court in the finals? Without KG and Poe, they did pretty good. Lose Gasol and Kobe would be crying like you do every night. The fact the Lakers went to game 7 against Houston with no Ming and McGrady, you'd think you wouldn't make such stupid remarks.

And I'll repost this from earlier in the thread:

because Capt Caveman lives in shitty Baaaston

:laugh: Coming from a loser who is crying about where he's living now b/c he has no friends. Lives in NYC and can't make any friends. A loser who has to change his internet username b/c he posts this. :laugh:
