geez troll haven't you learned to quit betting against the rox? back to back away games for the lakers who have been weak on the road against the rockets who have played great at home. rox by 5 is about spot on. certainly not a game I would bet either way. but you can continue to lose your money betting against the rox if it means we keep winning.
Ok Ok OK, and who ever said that Kobe was the world's best player? He's Good no doubt about it, sometimes amazing, but not by a longshot the world's best player... We have the Rockets version of Kobe...... T-MAc... I like our Chances Better...
AND the lakers lost to MEMPHIS tonight. wow. I hope we win, I think the rockets can do it. I feel like T-Mac plays better when he has some competition/rivalry going. I think he likes to prove the haters wrong. and i love it when he does that!
I am just glad we don't have our supposed leaders walking off the court early instead os setting an example for the young players that as a team, "we're in it together, win or lose." Phil Jax quit on his team tonight, and so did Kobe...not a good message to send out to the by-and-large young Lakers team. I am just glad we have better leadership on this team...I hate sore losers. Oh, and someone put Yan_Yao on suicide watch, he just lost his rent money tonight.
to his defense i think kobe left to the locker room early to start treating a groin injury he suffered during the game. it was clear he wasnt going to play again in the last 3 minutes and so he went to the locker room for better treatment. phil leaving was a bit more surprising. he rarely gets a T let alone 2 but he did have right to argue since it did appear luke got hit on his elbow on the play but from the replays he did get hit but i dont know if it was well after the ball was released or not
It's pretty tough to airball a layup from 2 inches. Deke hit him plain and simple. The refs missed an obvious call. PJ was fed up, erupted and didn't have to sit through the 4th quarter. Watching his team come apart at the seams in the 3rd quarter two night nights in a row has to be tough, especially after they played so well against the Mavs. I troll the Lakers forum sometimes and read the LA Times and Phil is losing patience with some of their players. Look for Phil to pop off publicly in a couple of days.
Hehehe Yan_Yao was right on. We couldn't do it. Not against Kobe, the greatest player in the world. He sure balled us up.
