Maybe your team should take the playoffs a little more seriously. Maybe save the cigars and alcohol for after you guys win something? Just a thought. Good luck next game guys. Hopefully yall will be more prepared.

As far as I'm concerned...
Go Rockets.

Get the hell off our board. We cant even go over there & say good game. You guys ignore us, then you want to come over here & post something about what Kobe does after the game.

It goes both ways. As a fan of both teams I see it constantly. But Tony Montana and LakeDub go into their boards and post new threads trying to clown the Rox all the time.

THE ROCKETS SUCK!!!!! :lol:

So did Odom get hurt or something? I didn't bother watching the 2nd half.

My thoughts exactly, even last years team had a bit more drive then this years. It's like they expect to be handed the title, we really got a bunch of mental midgets out there. And your spot on about Fish, take one for the team, you're obviously not what you use to be, accept a lesser role, look at what Luke did. Phil won't bench him, he's too stubborn, he can backup Kobe at the two spot and that way we won't have to endure Vujacic being out on the court. This team has a lot of bad characteristics, a lot of it goes on the coaching staff, I'm really fed up with Phil.

i wanna trust phil because he has nine rings,but he has to realize things change. this is a different team than the one's he had in the past. alot of these guys are young. it's easy to coach a taented vet team.

yeah...my issues are with phil too...starting with the collapse to suns a few years back, and after last years finals this team looks no better....

i was really excited when he was rehired, some of my lakers peeps werent, i see they were right...weve wasted now three years of kobe's career, as well as others, for a guy who cannot adapt anymore...

hell if he had just put in farmar in the last 6 minutes of the first, maybe the score doesnt reach 17...maybe only 8...who the hell knows but this staff stinks...

i blame the players, too...but they are constantly making the same mistakes, they are not being corrected, and that is on the coaches...

I was to young to ever see Phil coach his early teams and I wasn't living in this country but is this post Shaq/Kobe Lakers team the only young/very little amount of veteran experience team that Phil has coached.

great way to start the working week over here! After seeing us play so well in game 3, and then see Ming go down you'd think it was all over, i can excuse a close loss to a spirited team. But to look at the box scores and see how we didnt only lose, but got absoluetly smashed, they should be ashamed

sometimes a i feel like kobe's leadership could use a little more questioning.

Agree with this 100% I also add Phil Jackson to that list.

You guys may win the series but the Lakers have been exposed. Nuggets toughness is gonna kick your ass.

Oh, good game.

Agreed. Whatever happened to the Kobe that wasn't afraid to yell at someone after making a bonehead play. I remember that Knick game a few years ago when Luke had a wide open runner to win the game and instead passed it off to Kobe with almost no time left, we ended up losing that game and Kobe made sure Luke knew it was his fault. I really miss that Kobe. I mean who wouldn't want to see Kobe elbow Sasha in the face again.

yeah, but the thing that came to mind was something as simple as kobe trash talking shane battier. kind of sends a message that the rockets aren't good enough to be respected, that the rockets don't belong on the same court. why not show the utmost respect for a player that plays the game right and has the ability to really make an impact. then we act surprised why the lakers take this team so lightly. i also think the kobe iso mode in the 4th quarter has a lot more negative impact throughout the season than kobe's heroics are worth.

There are a lot of things about Kobe that could use a little more questioning. I've long since given up because 95% of the posters here simply don't want to hear it.

Be that as it may, with even-keeled pacifists like Odom and Gasol on the roster, it's just the fundamental nature of this team to use a butter knife when a machette will do. No amount of fire breathing from anybody, even our best player, is going to change that.

Barring a drastic change of personnel -- which I am not advocating -- we will never play consistent defense, and we will continue to squander opportunities to crush our opponents. There are just too many examples over the past two seasons to think otherwise.

I think this game was lost with Fisher's mismatch and the Rockets ability to exploit that with some hot shooting of their own. We needed to make the adjustment of playing either Farmar or Brown heavily and when Fisher's shot is off there is no reason he should see any minutes in this series.

Kobe came out to play and most of the 2nd unit came out well but we just went flat by the ineptitude of our first line of defense. Some plays were downright ugly with us getting beat for the same offensive play on consecutive possessions and if Phil sees the game film again, he'll be embarrassed himself for doing such a piss poor job of coaching tonight.
