Kobe damn!

This is exactly what I see happening to the Hornets come playoff time.

Teams will bring more intensity, really go hard at Chris Paul and see if he can still create enough for the rest of the team to be effective.

The playoffs are great.

Hornets usually play from behind, at least in the games I've seen. We'll see how the game proceeds in the second half when Chandler returns. Paul usually closes games better than he starts them, especially when he doesn't have his best alley-fodder in Chandler on the floor.

Lakers at their best are unstoppable.

Suns/Rockets: A product of the west (super stacked (Rockets) ) and the Suns defense (inconsistent)

Large win for Houston, thought it'd be a more competitive game, though

Make David West and Peja have to create there own shot and don't give them easy wide open looks. So far si good

Lakers with a very impressive 1st quarter

Lakers would be well ready for PO if they can do this against the spurs on SUnday.

I am a certified Lakers hater and I couldn't disagree more. I think they are extremely unbiased when compared to most other teams.

Trust me man, I'm a Laker fan in Oklahoma City and I love those guys, especially stu, I wish I could listen to him every Laker game because he'll talk about the Lakers just as much as the opposing team, and joel will follow. They are definately some of the most unbias commentators in the league today.

i love how they're going to the trapping defense, reminds me of the second three peat bulls...

it's obvious they're capable of playing great defense, it's just up to Phil to get them to do it consistently throughout the playoffs...

It seems like teams are starting to focus on Paul a lot more then they used to.

He isn't getting into the games a quickly as he was earlier in the season and the Hornets struggle because of it.

NO bench getting exposed..Hilton Armstrong and Melvin Ely missing layups.

All Lamar baby! If only he could play with Chris Paul. Kobe needs to stop shooting so many three's. He starts making them early and he doesn't know how to stop......

West needs to be aggressive for them.

FLOP CITY

Kobay · Post #158 » by **Kobay** » Sat Apr 12, 2008 3:16 am

lakers have trouble guarding quick guards 1 on 1.

Ballings7 · Post #159 » by **Ballings7** » Sat Apr 12, 2008 3:17 am

West is definitely capable of creating his own shot on a regular basis

Peja's inconsistent and not that skilled there

The Eminence · Post #160 » by **The Eminence** » Sat Apr 12, 2008 3:17 am

West passive on the offensive end.
