I didn't see a conclusive replay on the Barnes play. The angle couldn't show it.
The Pau shot was interference by the rules, no doubt. But the shot did go in on its own.
I'll take it.

There was also a put back by Pau that "technically" was a goal tending because it was "inside the cylinder."
Regardless, I will take this win because no matter how I look at it, Dallas should've killed the Lakers. It certainly looked like it the first half.

God these last 4 wins have been so much fucking fun. The most fun I've had as a Laker fan all year.
I am terrified as fuck at the thought of us regressing when Kobe gets back though. I doubt it will happen, but it's not implausible.
I definitely want the Mavs in the first round too. We need that revengeance before we're knocked out! I'll take that playoff moral victory with my head held high.

Kobe has always played more team ball in the playoffs (sans '04 finals) so I'm not worried about it. If anything, he will feel more confident in his team, especially at the end. I'm hoping he approaches this time off the same way he did in '01.
Wait youve seen it??
yeah, but nothing good.
From the commercials i've watched nothing has been funny.
If i want to watch someone scream DAMNNN while observing a beautiful woman i'll watch Friday.
And i haven't even seen Friday

The Magic pass the ball around the perimeter each possession for 22 seconds while the Cavs are committing offensive fouls every other time down the floor with Hudsanity trying to get people to Check Ma $tat$

In 2001, he had God Tier Shaq and a team of veterans that came one L short of sweeping the entire playoffs.
A lot easier to trust when you have shit like that at your disposal.

Yes, but in that season he started to play really selfishly, trying to get his own stats. Team got frustrated, he got hurt sat out like 13 games. Watched the team play without him and saw stuff, came back in and the team went ballistic.
That was also Kobe's greatest run of his career (including the '06 season). Until the Finals, where they just milked Shaq against Philly, Kobe was completely unguardable in every way. Picked every team apart, including a historically great San Antonio defense.
Obviously, Kobe can't do that anymore, but he showed trust in guys like Horry and Fish that season, why not now? Come in, play more of a team game, trust the talent around him (Kobe has more top end talent now than in '01), and win that way.
Replace Stevenson with some equivalent PF like Matt Bonner or something. You think that team wins a title? Your closing in lineup in games is probably going to be
Kidd
Terry
Kobe
Marion
Chandler

Prime Kobe? With the way Kidd, Marion, and Chandler played D last season? Adding in Prime Kobe on D? That D would be awesome.
But replacing a team built around a PF with a SG is a hard comparison. Especially since Dirk was their only PF worth anything.
They have like a 4 game cushion, I think they're okay.
Doc sat the big 3 and decided to play rondo 24 1st half minutes to start the 3rd game of a back to back to back SMH.

Kobe is likely back for the in 5A5 or OKC game, methinks.
They likely go against 5A5 @ home and at GSW without him.
Luckily though, the Lakers are done with B2Bs after those games.

really? lol.
I meant a 4 game cushion for Bobcats, btw, if that wasn't clear.

Tueday is the Spurs 2nd game in a b2b2b. Pop might tank that one.
Yeah. I know. I still think Doc is nuts.

You mean that one guy who beasts in the reg season and then only shows up against the Jazz and almost no one else, save for a game or two here and there?
I was done with him once he beasted last season and the moment the playoffs started he regressed pretty much immediately. I was so tired of that bullshit.
He was a god send when Bynum's knees were fucked, but aside from that I don't miss him at all going into the playoffs. Not a bit...

Bobcats/Celtics looks like a summer league game + Rondo.
Hey look everybody!
I was right about Avery Bradley being a better player than John Wall after all!
As Wall == Rondo, does that mean Bradley is the best Celtic starting guard now?
Those are his season averages, so, about right.

Man that Greg guy for the Celtics blocks the fuck outta some shots, dude always seems to have 2-3 blocked shots in 10-15 minutes.
he's the white bill russell
And 4-5 fouls. Refs hate that dude.

$120 million doesn't buy what it used to.
126 million iirc.
So utterly turrible.
And it's worse, because of his attitude literally no one wants to take the risk on him. Even otis has been hesitant.

Lol Boozer. Wow @ Maxielle.
I can't be the only one who likes the current Lakers squad more than their past two championship teams. I mean, yeah, fuck Mike Brown. And yeah, fuck their bench. But once the playoffs start, the bench is going to become less of a factor. Their starting lineup is just so good. I really, REALLY hope the Lakers come to their senses in the playoffs and utilize Bynum to the fullest. I expect him to take off during these playoffs and go on a tear. I almost with the Lakers had traded Gasol for a few more role players, because I think the veteran Kobe + rising Bynum dynamic is a good enough core to win. Gasol shouldn't be stealing Bynum's touches in the post. You've got to feed the beast.

I wonder if him and Lewis get together and count money
