    Kobe is going to rape the Jazz.

    This time there will be no pressed charges.

    Even that girl in Denver will be cheering!!

    lol we would have been a force this yr too if we stayed healthy.

    but next yr with one year experience under adelman, we can only get better.

    the last 2 games, tmac played his role in this offense PERFECTLY. i saw at most 2-3 pick and rolls tonight. we're slowly getting his offense.

    by next yr, we should be rolling to a first seed.

    Thanks LP.

    Congrats on Kobe for MVP. There's just no way a guy of his caliber could go his career and NOT win MVP...he's too good.

    Oh and let's make it snappy and finish them off in 4 please?

    Very classy move, LakersPride, visiting our site and offering some kind words while we're down. I'll echo the sentiments of everyone else, sweep the Jazz so I don't have to watch them anymore.
    By the way, does the purse snatching ad on this thread have anything to do with Mehmet Okur?

    I totally agree with you. With Yao returning next year and possibly SF3, we're going to be the team to beat. I predict a 60+ win season next year.

    This year without Yao and SF3 we managed to win 55 games. Now that Scola, Brooks and Landry have established themselves in the Rockets team, next year Yao and T-Mac will have a much better bench support. Furthermore, i believe that Rick Adelman's offensive system will be seen with regularity in the upcoming season. I am sure over the course of the summer, the players will expand their knowledge of the Princeton Offense. Hence, we should expect to see a better offensive minded rockets team. I firmly believe that Daryl Morey will sign or trade 1 or 2 above average players to reduce the load off Yao and T-Mac's shoulders. It would be amazing if we can see an Adelman-Artest reunion or the acquisition of Ben Gordon. The free agent market is bloated this year. Don't be surprise if we pull of another Steve Francis type signing this summer.

    Anyhow, i really enjoyed this season. The 22 game winning streak was the highlight of the entire NBA season.

    Lastly, Congrats to Kobe Bryant for winning the MVP. Good luck with Utah and i'll be rooting for you guys the rest of the way!

    Nothing matters except the health of tmac, yao and company. I will never let the highs get too high next year b/c I will always fear the injury bug........

    why don't you give us Bynum now that you've stolen Gasol? Be sure we'll be able to give Andrew more minutes than you can.

    Matter of fact, I wish the rockets could give the lakers tmac & scola for a few games just to beat the Jazz, then return him back to the rockets 2 weeks later
