How to beat the Lakers: Lessons from Kings and Suns games

[TonyMontana]

Um. Did Kobe travel on the last three or am I just being ignorant?

Nah, he just pushed off and stepped out of bounds---get it straight!

Thats odd, Paul Westphal including his staff and the rest of the bench was standing inches away from Kobe looking directly at his feet and the line before he knocked down the three, you didnt see them making an argument on Kobe traveling or having his foot on the line specially since they had a better view than anyone else including fans at home who were hoping for any reason to wave off his buzzer beater. So I assume he didnt.

How to beat the Lakers:

Wait until Kobe, Gasol and Phil Jackson retire and for some reason Buss decides to tank for a couple seasons to get lottery picks

Well, if Lakers have to rely on Artest and Walton to win any game, then they won't win anything.

Rodriguez made the mental error to not hold his ground hoping for a call. It's not like he already had a set position and then got pushed off it.

Is this a serious post? Are you saying that we dont need our starting and backup SF?

You laker trolls really take the bait, don't you? I didn't see this last game but based on the Rockets, who have always given the Lakers a hard time, one basic key is to just out-hustle and out-work them, fight for every rebound, every loose ball, and every extra possession.

Come on laker fans, you have everything, just leave us to our misery will you lol.

Funny how you call us trolls on a topic specifically dealing with our team Anyway I wont rag on you because your point is still valid. Yes we have problems with teams that out hustle & out work us. Once we get that constant effort for 48 minutes night in & night out, it's lights out!

love how Laker fans are complaining about not having LUKE WALTON, yet when are missing a player for a game it's "don't make excuses"

[JohnVancouver]

I dislike the lakers because I dislike Kobe - as person; there's no denying he is one of the all-time greatest players. Just not even possible to argue that. No matter how much of a dick he is.
I, for one, will never forget his "I won't shoot, then" snit in game 7 a few years ago.

But you have to give them some respect - Artest out, Kobe witha fractured finger, Gasol in and out, Walton out - and he would be playing a lot right now. And they're still one of the 3 best in the league. That's frightening.

So give the devil his due.

Show me 1 Laker fan that's missing Walton and I'll show you 5 who didn't even realize he hasn't been with us.

^^ Yeah I think it was Luke Walton himself that posted that.
