Well.....at least no sweep. Let's see how much the Lakers have left in the tank tomorrow.

I'm more interested on how the Thunder come out. them having too much rest didn't seem to faze them, now how about none at all?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

some of those calls were sketchy but maybe if Harden didn't constantly flop the refs wouldn't call the contact. I'm not going to get mad that there's contact, Harden flops to emphasize it and the refs call it against him. Karma, you bearded bitch.

I'm not holding out much hope. They had to bust their ass for this win and we all know how notoriously bad the Lakers are on back to backs.

 

[diehard]

why is everyone getting so worked up about who gets to lose to the Spurs

 

[MonkeyKing]

Did you OKC fans lIke those two moving screens just prior to Durants last shot?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

At least two of Harden's fouls on Kobe weren't fouls at all. Durant got mugged in the lane after Ibaka's missed shot.

Admittedly, I didn't see the whole game.

They of course showed the Durant attempt to rebound the Ibaka miss and I couldn't tell.

And I'm not swayed by Mike Breen or whoever the fuck he is saying it was a clean strip because those guys are often blind.

I'd like to see it one more time.

I do think Harden's foul trying to front Kobe late(HARDEN held his chin afterward) was a foul, they only let LeBron get away with that shit.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

These guys get to walk home amongst my LA brethern.

Fat White Kobe wins!

 

[RedAssedApe]

White man saves the black man again.

Someone had to step up after Luke Walton got traded.

I'm impressed that he gets all of those superstar calls. The actual fouls for grabbing Kobe evened it out tonight. Dude is getting paid by the Thunder or someone else because those calls don't go to no-name guys.

The game won't be called the same to tomorrow.

Didn't stop you, did it?

 

[Forceatowulf]

There were a lot of questionable calls in this game, and they primarily went against OKC.

No salt, just facts.

Hurts a bit when the shoe is on the other foot, eh?

To all the salty fucks in the building, lets make one thing obviously clear, we ain't winnin' this fucking series. We're most likely gonna get hammered tomorrow because of the B2B. But you know what? We're also not getting swept. And it's mainly due to our favorite player getting shit done when needed. Just let us have this.

You're going to get your purple and gold blood soon enough. Trust me.

Spoiler

You're Just not getting it tonight

 

[Vahagn]

None of Kobe's fouls were anything more than ticky tack fouls...but he played in foul trouble all game. Yea we got more calls but we're at home, we don't get as many uncontested transition buckets, and we have Bynum who can only be stopped by getting smacked...so stop complaining people.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Did you OKC fans lIke those two moving screens just prior to Durants last shot?

those never get called in the final seconds.... unless you're KG!

 

[Emwitus]

At least two of Harden's fouls on Kobe weren't fouls at all. Durant got mugged in the lane after Ibaka's missed shot. Lots of ticky tack weak playoff foul calls.

I should have expected it, but I'm not mad. But anyone who doesn't think the Lakers got most of the calls is delusional.

Says it all:
And this was tweeted with a couple minutes left.

It helps when the lakers were barely taking any jumpshots.

 

[diehard]

Didn't stop you, did it?

i was getting worked up?

 

[Shadow780]

Always a cute reporter at Staples.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Fuck that shit. Perkins was doing that all game and it got called once.

 

[Emwitus]

Says the person cheering for his team to be in the playoffs....

 

[Shadow780]

Angry fuck is the best fuck, good for you Perks.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Bro, you don't even have a team

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Many people probably thought that about the Western team battling to play Miami last year.

That's why you play the games.

 

[diehard]

Celtics gettin old and busted, Jazz are new hotness.. there's a difference

wait you're a C's fan right? or Lakers and Celtics or some bullshit lol

yeah, they're called idiots.

 

[Cloudy]

For the folks crying about LA getting all the fts. We deserve some calls based on the huge disadvantage we're at with the B2B LOL

This is the worst justification I've ever seen. I still luv u.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Hopefully Bynum has one more dominant game in him tomorrow. He can't play as bad as he did tonight again. That's for damn sure...

All I want is for the last 2 losses to be competitive and for the Lakers to go out with some dignity. I'm content with that.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

lakers aren't winning another game.
they're too chicken shit to play

 

[ryutaro's mama]

This is the worst justification I've ever seen. I still luv u.

Konex's boy got to shoot the "winning" freethrows.

In his mind, that makes up for his "boo boos" on Wednesday night.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

yeah, they're called idiots.

Well, I agree, my point is that you can't for sure predict any series at this stage of the game.

I don't think any team is unbeatable.

I never think that.

Heck, most of the Bulls championship rounds went 6 games and I thought they were the better team easily beforehand.

I think Blake won this game actually

Do you pick one for me?

Terrible impersonation of Branduil but then again, Mike Brown being fired is what you want>:O

 

[MonkeyKing]

Lakers should put their young guys in tomorrow and let em run. Every time I see them just nonchalantly drag the ball up court I start screaming at the screen. Run, for christs sake!

 

[Cloudy]

lol

I think some of the calls on Harden were crap but some of the bailout calls on his fts were just as bad.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

I think Blake won this game actually

But your favorite guy got to shoot the winning FTs!!!

Aren't you giddy as though you were Steph Curry @ the Skills Challenge?

 

[Emwitus]

Celtics gettin old and busted, Jazz are new hotness.. there's a difference

wait you're a C's fan right? or Lakers and Celtics or some bullshit lol

Says the pers..........Uh never mind.

 

[THRILLH0]

shut up. Kobe had 50% of his points from the line. if you're calling that clutch...just...ugh

Cry me a fucking river. 18/18 in a 3 point game is golden.

And when did laker fans become such pussies? "A competitive loss and that's good enough for me". What the fuck!?

 

[Nori Chan]

i got hos in different area codes

You can't blame the guy when our 3 time mvp is choking at the free give away line. He only makes the hard ones.

 

[Forceatowulf]

For the folks crying about LA getting all the fts. We deserve some calls based on the huge disadvantage we're at with the B2B LOL

nah that's crap.

We deserve calls because we're going inside a lot and aren't so reliant on jumpers. There should almost always be ft disparity in those situations.

The amount of hacking that Bynum and Pau go through night in and night out is pretty understated.

 

[Emwitus]

It's cute how Lakers-age has hope now.

.

 

[Raziel]

lakers age should have hope. a jump shooting team like okc can be cold any given night. theyll probably win but you always have an outside chance to beat them.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

I will be so salty if we win tomorrow.

That shit could be 3-1 if they did.

Eh, I take this " NO SWEEP "series victory.

lakers age should have hope.

Naw, we just came to break brooms.

We're good.

 

[Forceatowulf]

.

people say this.. but what does that mean exactly? Laker fans rejoicing after a solid win = They all believe they can win the series? That's just stupid.

I don't see anyone in here that is overly enthusiastic about our chances at all...

 

[Cloudy]

nah that's crap.

True but 2 of the foul calls on Harden when OKC was in the penalty were ridiculous. Kobe got 4 fts for being touched! Make up calls or not, they looked bad and that's what we complain about when other stars get those calls on us

 

[Cloudy]

I will be so salty if we win tomorrow.

That shit could be 3-1 if they did.

Nah, If it was 1-1 this could easily have been a loss. Durant and Westbrook play the entire 4th or maybe Harden gets in earlier. You have to account for the team with the series lead relaxing a bit.

If we are 2-2 after tomorrow, I'm satisfied. It's very hard to beat ANY team 3 times in a row and we have the mentality that we can win there...

You sound like you actually believe the Lakers can win this series.

If we get to 2-2, anything can happen...

 

[giri]

Interesting game. YNB has been pretty bad the last 2.

There were also some really odd calls all game. I still don't know why MWP got a tech just because YNB got salty. But w/e, reputations catchup with you i guess.

 

[Emwitus]

LOL

You sound like you actually believe the Lakers can win this series.

Even my optimistic self doesn't see as winning. Maybe of bynum morphs into shaq tomorow or perkins gets injured.

 

[fse]

How did the Spurs do against the Thunder this season?

 

[Shadow780]

lol Kobe humping Pau.
