Yeah...totally ready to take the 5pur5 out in an upset in the first round.

Totally.

No, but I'm scared of Portland making a run for it...

 

[Kevtones]

Left ankle sprain it looks like to me. That can be 2 days or 6 weeks depending on the severity.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Who do you root for?

 

[ratcliffja]

Nah then our starters would come back in and the 5th quarter would be a blowout.

I'm so, so sorry for Foye.

 

[diehard]

I'm so, so sorry for Foye.

he had me convinced during a hot streak that the wasn't so bad.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

So you quoted me, then unquoted me but kept the body of my post?

wat

i thought i deleted that quote, using a quick posting script.

 

[Black Mamba]

Even if they miss all those 3s ,just make those chip layups that MWP and Nash missed, and everything else stays the same, they likely eek it out.

Kobe missed one if those too with 90 seconds left. Driving me nuts how they missed 4 simple layups in the 4th. What are the odds? Couldnt pull that shit off on a blowout win or loss, eh?

Still Howard be cued with 8 to go in the 1st is inexcusable. Wih no pau it can't happen. Period. He does this all th fucking time. Takes non defensive fouls to bench his ass. Their defense is pure shit without him and worse in long stretches.

Howard should have never came out after his 5th foul either. No surprise game turned at that point. Mda so stupid.

 

[Starphoenix]

Who do you root for?

San Antonio. Explaining why I'm terrified of Portland. They are just a bad match up for the Spurs.

Detroit about to get this w to complete a good night

lol Detroit ain't winning.

 

[Babalu.]

Fack.

Kobe's fall did not look good

damn at :40 you can really see his ankle ROLL like a mother fucker.

damn.

thats one of those INSTANT PAIN....5 min later you can move around on it

but tonight and tomorrow it is going to hurt like a BIIIIIITCH

 

[theignoramus]

Let me ask you a question. In all honesty. Do you think you have the capability to be objective about Timmy? You're as superfan about Timmy as I am about Kobe. I'm talking about everyone in the basketball world who says that. By and Large, that's what I've always heard. Maybe if Timmy gets his 5th this year that debate will be rekindled. But as of now, I think most people's opinion is Timmy is a close second. No need to rehash the details of the debate.

greatest PF ever, selfless, team oriented guy whose still one of the top defensive players in the league vs. a me first gunner who flat out refuses to guard guys he thinks dont deserve his respect

 

[ratcliffja]

he had me convinced during a hot streak that the wasn't so bad.

The best thing I can say about him is that he tries. He just doesn't have a lot of talent or intelligence. But boy golly, he tries.

Pau is back next week, supposedly?

Gotta hope Clark isn't dead and Kobe on life support.

San Antonio. Explaining why I'm terrified of Portland. They are just a bad match up for the Spurs.

Oh ok.

Yeah, as you probably know, jobber is the oldest active member of 5pur5-Age and most of those guys are chill.

Justin Timberlake is a member of Silver Stars-Age though.

He is your Age's Heavy.

 

[Black Mamba]

Kobe out indefinitely. Season done. Bye bye playoffs.

 

[darkside31337]

Gotta love the Lakers making March basketball actually relevant.

Should be fascinating to see what happens if Kobe is out for a while.

 

[Dominican Power]

Kobe out indefinitely. Season done. Bye bye playoffs.

Dwight can prove his worth now.

 

[ratcliffja]

Kobe out indefinitely. Season done. Bye bye playoffs.

It's Kobe. I expect indefinitely to mean 2 weeks, tops.

 

[Zep]

Kobe out indefinitely. Season done. Bye bye konex.

damn.

 

[Black Mamba]

Dwight can prove his worth now.

Won't matter. Kobe out means run for Morris or Duhon and nothing Dwight can do can save their terribleness.

If Kobe misses more than 3 games, season is only salvageable if Utah just completely falls apart.


Rat. 2 weeks means season is done.

 

[Fox318]

Kobe out indefinitely. Season done. Bye bye playoffs.

You've got super star Dwight Howard who carried the Magic to the finals. The mentally toughest player in the NBA.

What could possibly go wrong?

 

[darkside31337]

It's Kobe. I expect indefinitely to mean 2 weeks, tops.

More like 2 games.

 

[linsivvi]

He is your Age's Heavy.

Heavy is just a fanboy. He doesn't say horrible things about other human beings.

It's Kobe. I expect indefinitely to mean 2 weeks, tops.

2 weeks is enough to kill all playoff hopes.

 

[The Frankman]

Starting intro time in Denver...

EDIT: Damn Denver, LOL.

 

[KingJ2002]

Those plays where Earl & Kobe got hurt... both atlanta players stuck their legs out as they were coming down.

dirty ass players man.. and that ref wasn't calling shit.

even with tired legs... the lakers got robbed.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Where are you reading this?

Wow...I forgot about that...

Nevermind.

Detroit about to get this w to complete a good night

quiet your ass down son

 

[theignoramus]

I like that espn considers New York@Denver a more compelling storyline than the Grizzlies vs. the Clippers.

 

[Syphon Filter]

mixed reaction for melo's return.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

 

[Black Mamba]

@LakersReporter: X-Rays on Kobe's ankle were negative, but it's a "severe sprain" & he's out "indefinitely."

For those that asked.

Lakers only chance is pau saving them. He has to come back next week.

 

[Dominican Power]

 

[diehard]

This Jazz game is like a peek into next year.. Kanter/Favors/GTime and moral victories for all.

 

[The Frankman]

mixed reaction for melo's return.

That wasn't even close to "mixed".

 

[Starphoenix]

Oh ok.

Justin Timberlake is a member of Silver Stars-Age though.

I haven't been that active in NBA-gaf, so I'll take your word for it. Yeah Spurs are the team I roll with, in large part because I lived in San Antonio for a spell and fell in love with the city.

 

[Truelize]

Unless Kobe broke something in there he won't miss much time or any at all.
He is lucky that he was fading so far back that when he came down on the that guys foot he didnt have his whole body weight coming down on it. If you watch the replay again you see that he bends his knee almost immediately after the ankle roll which means he took pressure off it right away.
The worst ones are when you see a guys leg lock up when he rolls. Then you know that everything went into that.

Also from the view I see he didn't do a "toe roll" either, just over on the side.


I'm being very hopeful of course. But it's likely that I have more experience with rolled ankles than anyone else here
Wish that wasn't something I can say.

 

[theignoramus]

LA's first possession was a three pointer from Griffin...i shit you not

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

The race for the 8th seed in the West is more like a limp of terribleness.

 

[darkside31337]

The race for the 8th seed in the West is more like a limp.

At this point I expect the Mavericks to get in.

 

[friskykillface]

Dem boos

 

[Black Mamba]

With Kobe missing time that means Nash, Kobe , Dwight; Pau, Blake , Hill all with injuries this year.

Injuries did them in hard.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Nice win by the Lakers. Someone needs to stop sucking Miami off and beat them.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

At this point I expect the Mavericks to get in.

I was thinking that as well, but their schedule does not look good.

 

[linsivvi]

mixed reaction for melo's return.

Booooooo

Booooooooooooo

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

 

[Mxrz]

Why is Denver booing? You guys won.

 

[rando14]

Damn that sucks about Kobe, Lakers gaf

 

[pilonv1]

Detroit about to get this w to complete a good night

lawl

 

[Godslay]

Don't like the boos. Such a weird game.

 

[The Frankman]

Carmelo/JR/Martin/Felton

Go New York Nuggets.

 

[Kevtones]

If severe means grade 3 sprain, Kobe's season could be done.
