only thing that stands out lol

Haha, I mostly agree on that!

 

[Tragicomedy]

They don't want Kobe

#Magicwasright

I'd rather face Lakers nation then the Beard on a revenge bender.

:/

Also, what the fuck:

Regardless, the answers some of the class of 2013's top high school prospects gave USA Today when asked how they'd fare in a game of one-on-one against Jordan in his prime are just plain bizarre.

Three of the eight players polled actually predicted they would defeat Jordan, though the comments by Duke-bound Matt Jones have enough false bravado to them that it appears he's kidding. There's no such obvious nuance to the quotes attributed to Kentucky-bound recruits Dakari Johnson and Andrew Harrison.

Said Johnson: "I’m taking him to the post every time. He’d stop me a couple of times, but I’d just keep going back down there. I’d just contest his jump shots and pray that he’d miss. I think in the end, I’d get him though. I’m too big down there."

Said Harrison: "I think he’d get a couple buckets here and there, but then I’d start to lock him down and give him buckets. Yeah, I think I’d get him."

Can anyone explain the 8th seed situation; what needs to go down for either the Jazz or Lakers to make the playoffs?

:/

Also, what the fuck:

lol of course some highschool shits would do what many NBA greats could not and shut down MJ. Not only shut him down but score on him too lulz.

 

[GremlinFool]

If the Lakers win against Golden State, I'd say they have a playoff berth in the bag. Spurs will either tank or simply have too many guys out, should be a relatively easy game. The Lakers really only need to go 2-1, as I don't see Utah sweeping the last three games of the season.

 

[Koko]

Gee, thanks San Antonio. Also, you guys who said Denver was done without Gallanari are nuts. They're far too deep.

Nah they are right. If Lawson returns we might win one series.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Lakers need a better record than Utah. Utah gets in if they're tied due to winning the season series.

 

[perfectchaos007]

They both have 3 games remaining. If the Lakers win the next 3, Jazz are eliminated. If the Lakers win 2/3, Jazz need to win 3/3 to make the playoffs. I the Lakers win 1/3; Jazz need to win 2/3. If the Lakers go 0/3, Jazz need to win 1/3 to make playoffs

 

[Tragicomedy]

Forget in his prime, I doubt they could beat 50 year old Jordan.

 

[Kobe24]

Lakers have GSW, Spurs, and Rockets
Jazz have Minnesota x2(home/away) and @Memphis

Jazz own the tiebreak so right now Lakers need to win out at the moment.

 

[Black Mamba]

Yes, let's watch ***** **** play sg in the playoffs instead of Kobe. That would be more entertaining.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Faried just scored...for the Spurs.

 

[Xplatformer]

Can anyone explain the 8th seed situation; what needs to go down for either the Jazz or Lakers to make the playoffs?

If they have the same record, Utah gets in.

The Lakers only get in if they have a better record than the Jazz.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Forget in his prime, I doubt they could beat 50 year old Jordan.

Pretty sure MJ recently beat MKG and Henderson one on one.

 

[reilo]

Get ready for some salty Reilo posts. He stopped posting in the second half, probably single handily trying to drown out the Lakers chants.

Or the connection sucks at RG.

But congrats Lakers-age. Way to bitch about injuries before the game and then gloat about beating somebody else's D-team.

Mama would be proud.

 

[Goreomedy]

Faried just scored...for the Spurs.

Best thing about it, was the scoring table confusion after.

 

[AcridMeat]

Did anyone else collect basketball cards as a kid? I wonder how much my Duncan rookie card will be worth when he's in the hall of fame.

 

[Black Mamba]

I ain't gloating. Pathetic defensive effort 1st half. Ill take any win, especially in the house of horrors.


Fuck man, lillard is going to be in my nightmares for seasons to come. That kid can play. I really love his he plays.

They ain't winning in Portland again for a long time.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Wow. All I can say about this W is wow. I had zero expectations for a win tonight. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

And sweet mighty lord look at Kobe's stats O_O 17 years in the league and he's still an absolute beast. Who has put up lines like that in their 17'th season?

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

:/

Also, what the fuck:

Is Dakari Johnson Pimp's alias?

 

[thekad]

Wow. All I can say about this W is wow. I had zero expectations for a win tonight. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

lmao

Good job Denver. Now the Spurs need to win out for dat 1st seed and can beat GS for us.
And if they lose, we get to play the Spurs with no Manu and gimp Parker.

 

[Smokey]

Lakers are probably in the playoffs now

The dream is dead

 

[Branduil]

Wow. All I can say about this W is wow. I had zero expectations for a win tonight. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

Yeah no one could have predicted the Lakers beating this Portland team tonight. It was truly David vs. Goliath out there, only this time, David won.

 

[SUPREME1]

Bean complimenting Lillard in the locker room. Said he told him he's a bad boy. Said he was cooking with gasoline tonight.

Mamba gives credit where it's due.

 

[perfectchaos007]

SA trying to pull out the pipe

 

[Goreomedy]

Denver trying to lose this one....

 

[thekad]

Lakers are probably in the playoffs now

The dream is dead

Lakers won't win another game.

 

[Black Mamba]

Nash for lillard. We'll throw in Earl Clark.

Since Kad said the lakers wouldn't win 3 games they've won 3 in a row.

 

[masud]

Shout out to Kurt Thomas for sacrificing himself for the Knicks. He's probably mean mugging angels in heaven right now...

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Lakers won't win another game.

Friendly wager? Steam game for the winner.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Yes, let's watch ***** **** play sg in the playoffs instead of Kobe. That would be more entertaining.

Why would people want to see the past of defense (Dwight Howard) when they can see its future (Derrick Favors)?

 

[BatiGOOOOOOL]

Spurs give away the 1st seed and what they get is to face Harden? Greeeaaaat. :-

 

[Black Mamba]

Why would people want to see the past of defense (Dwight Howard) when they can see its future (Derrick Favors)?

As if Corbin will play him, lol

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Why would people want to see the past of defense (Dwight Howard) when they can see its future (Derrick Favors)?

Hahahaha

 

[Cloudy]

RT @ESPNStatsInfo: Via @eliassports Kobe is the 1st player w/at least 47 pts, 8 reb, 5 assists, 4 blocks and 3 steals in an NBA game.

.

 

[Hunter S.]

Denver Bandwagon Bitches Woooooooo!!!

 

[BatiGOOOOOOL]

Spurs should shut TD down until the playoffs start. No point in having him battling out there without Tony and Manu.

 

[Smokey]

Lakers won't win another game.

warriors
spurs
rox

u might be right. might get rox game though if they sit players.

 

[Cloudy]

Lakers won't win another game.

GS and HOU will be tough but I feel the Spurs will tank lol

 

[ph33nix]

I know who ***** **** is but can somebody explain where that meme originated?

a PM is acceptable if he cannot be named

 

[pilonv1]

Lakers fans now getting excited over scrub wins for the 8th seed in April.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Hahahahaha freaking useless stats. Gtfo ESPN.

 

[Smokey]

you don't like danger of the los angeles lakers?

 

[thekad]

Nash for lillard. We'll throw in Earl Clark.

Since Kad said the lakers wouldn't win 3 games they've won 3 in a row.

I called their 6* game losing streak where they lost to the Suns and Wiz.

*actually 4 of 6 because of Stern Reasons in Minnesota and Sacramento.

 

[Branduil]

It's because he's a nobody.

 

[SUPREME1]

Lakers fans now getting excited over scrub wins for the 8th seed in April.

Is getting excited for almost making the playoffs reserved for scrub franchises like Golden State?

 

[ph33nix]

It's because he's a nobody.

Thanks but I'm pretty sure there is a deeper answer

Like when/where was it born because you could say that about a lot of people

 

[Emwitus]

Yeah no one could have predicted the Lakers beating this Portland team tonight. It was truly David vs. Goliath out there, only this time, David won.

Or phx vs dallas at home
