Lakers looked better without him. Celtics are not going to give up layups. There for LO will struggle.

the celtics were playing without a big guy. powe and perkins were on the bench because they were anticipating a 3 point onslaught and subbed in posey. if u think the lakers are better with a gasol/vlad froncourt i don't know what to say.

I KNEW WE COULD WIN IT!!!

Only problem was we waited too long to get there 7:40 left in the 4th and during that last 2 poessions didn't excute well but we were in it.

The only question is can everyone play that kind of basketball for 48 minutes?

Lakers will really really really need to win all 3 at home if they have any chance on winning this series because if they lose just one its going to be hard to go back for a Game 6 and or 7 to finish the celtics.

Good comeback bring that intensity with you and tuesday or else its see you next year!

Later guys cya all tuesday

You dont have to say anything. Just watch the games. Every Laker on the floor can hit a open "J" with the expception of LO. Everyone knows his strenghts is going to the basket.

Good to see Kobe finally found a little bit of rhythm for himself. Hope that's a sign of things to come rather than the Celtics basically laying off the pedal.

Also, we cannot let a bench player score 21 points in 15 minutes. Sorry, that's just inexcusable. He just outhustled our bigs.

What was he suppose to do just let them have the rebound. He went for the REBOUND, the refs just stayed true to form and called a foul.

if that powe guy plays like himself then the lakers would have won.

Yeah, but putting Luke Walton at the 4 spot doesn't help. Why does he get any minutes?

Those camera replays definitely caught KG grabbing Pau's arm on the drive miles.

It's the Pierce nut-hugging on Kobe that frustrates me but I think Kobe's unwillingness to make drives to the basket e.g. the sweet spin move and not going to Pau in the 2nd half (he was 6-8 FG) frustrated me more.

Being down by 9 points and having VLAD of all the players on our team make 2 stupid plays really cost us in the 3rd quarter and eventually led to the blowout.

In the end, homecourt advantage got Boston over the line and I hope we sweep the next 3 to make sure we have 2 chances to win in Boston.

What rebound? I was talking about the Pierce play where he was going toward the basket, there were no rebounds, you must be talking about something else.

Also, do you think that we're going to stop packing the lanes once Rondo drives, because they are a better three point shooting then lets say San Antonio. We should only give special attention to KG and PP.

sure sure. if you think LO should be ashamed that the lakers were in desperate need of 3 pters and got benched for vlad then u are just trying to hate. Vlad was not going to get exposed when james posey is playing pf. let powe and perkins in and you'll be crying for vlad to get benched.

well they still need to win four games. If we somehow learn how to play defense we can win this series.

I don't know, Phil searching for somebody to put a body on Powe? It's fixable, since we did a good job on Milsap against the Jazz, but the Lakers frontcourt absolutely didn't give him enough respect.

who else is going to play? turiaf is the only reserve big that can be trusted with minutes, and he's playing center when he should be playing pf. luke shouldn't even have to guard powe, its not fair to him but he's out there battling.

Wow only someone like you would say that LO wasnt on the floor because of who Doc Rivers was playing. So now Phil Benches his starters based on who the other team is playing. When in fact LO is suppose to be a walking mis-match. :rofl:

. Give me a break. You watched the game, you know whats up.

JazzItUp13 · Post #518 » by **JazzItUp13** » Mon Jun 9, 2008 4:08 am

why are the lakers getting out rebounded so poorly? they didn't do so horrible against guys like boozer and millsap and kirilenko and deron williams who are all tall guys. Lakers take 3 straight...lets go LA!

Time for some adjustments Phil.
