I’m watching the game now and find it hard to hear the announcers because the crowd noise is louder than the announcers. Is there some way to get this word to the technical staff?

The Lakers will win this series in 4. And the next in 4. And the next, and the next. The Lakers ARE the NBA! Anyone who denies that are kidding themselves. Last year was a fluke. The Lakers should be winning their fourth in a row this year. They are the NBA 2012 Champions. Metta World Peace was wronged and now the NBA pretenders will pay the price!

Time for Kobe and the Lakers to sweep the trash back to Denver where the Nuggets belong. Better to not horse around like last year against the Hornets, time for the Lakers to rise and shine in the first series to set themselves up for the second round which will be tough. Kobe showed he’s the real MVP of the NBA despite the fact that the dimwitted pundits can’t figure that out.

@jeffw
umm,no… that’s stupid. If the Lakers have a chance to sweep why wouldn’t they sweep and get an extra 3-4 days to prep for the next round and rest. If they were able to sweep Denver I think they would be able to play 1-2 games against OKC without RonRon, c’mon think! What team is going to tank 2 games in the playoffs so they can get a player back for the next round? WTF!! where’s your logic coming from?

littleballs….you mean, kinda like when kobe ” COASTED” as long as he wanted during the Dallas series last year.

He coasted until the the janitors came in with the brooms and swept him outta the building!

That was a real LUXURY, not having to walk outta the building because he was swept.

laker (I’m sorry) kobe fans, are entirely oblivious to the real world. Keep dreaming fairy tales, out there in ” la-la land ” ….you will have it handed to you again, this year !

The truth is, your team got worse, since last year !

1. You don’t have the bench play,
2. You don’t have the triangle,
3. You don’t have Phil Jackson

You won’t make it outta the first round !

now call all the other delirious laker bloggers, to give me 50 thumbs down. It still won’t change the real world. ahahahahaha

You and the elitist scum you affiliate with are some of the most arrogant pieces of garbage. Take your sense of entitlement and go straight to h3ll.

You, and clowns of your ilk with pathetic beings, are some of the most hopeless human beings living. It’s disgusting to read your low self-esteem driven nonsense.

We were talking unexpected or new injuries. Those were well known.

4thquartermagic,

You do realize you completely contradict yourself during your post?

You go from analyzing the statement about sitting the final game “DIRECTLY implies” to the very next sentence saying, does not inversely effect the other.

Congratulations, you are less intelligent then I thought.

i think what Lakers fans are saying is Kobe has earned the right “to not care about individual goals” as he already has a plethora of hardware, that he is above all that…and getting a 6th ring is his ultimate goal…
personally, i would have loved to see kobe get the scoring title because i’m a kobe fan…simple as that. BUT i respect his decision to not go for it. he already is “the ultimate competitor, he’s a killer, he’s the Black Mamba…”

The luxury Kobe has (and has always had) is that he CAN coast until the 4th quarter. Even when Bynum and Gasol are having bad games, they’re 7ft and they produce.

LeBron has to score, defend like hell, and cover up all the deficiencies of his teammates on a nightly basis. When Wade and Bosh have bad nights they don’t have many physical advantages to make up for it.

A lot of people think that since Miami has Wade&Lebron that they have a significant advantage. I’d take the two best 7-footers over two great wing players any day.

The statement that Kobe “doesn’t care about records, he cares about rings” that COUNTLESS Laker people have posted on this blog DIRECTLY implies that by playing a horrible defensive team in Sacramento in an attempt to win the scoring title would somehow result in Kobe NOT winning a championship.

My point that one does not inversely effect the other is valid. I said it to point out the hypocrisy of Kobe fans.

HAD HE PLAYED the Laker fans would have been on here saying ‘Kobe’s the ultimate competitor, he’s a killer, he’s the Black Mamba…”

Not a single person on this site said that it 100% guaranteed them a championship, it simply made sense for him to sit and rest in an effort to chase a championship. Being that he would rather chase that than a scoring title. For the record I’m not a Laker fan but some of the posters on this blog are just stupid with thier comments.

Nuggets in 7… Oh wait a minute I forgot Kobe sat out the last game of the season because he cares more about rings then records so he’s 100% guaranteed another championship.

At least that’s what Laker fans keep telling me.

Really? The Nuggets have no injuries? Wilson Chandler is injured and out for the rest of the season and Al Harrington has a torn meniscus. Gallinari has a broken thumb.. You only list World Peace because he’s suspended?

No way Lakers want a sweep here. They win in 6 and make sure they have MWP back for game 1 of their series with OKC.

Lakers (KOBE) sweeps it in 4. I will be dressed in my Kobe Commemorative MVP Jersey watching his dismantling of the Nuggets. They are no match for Kobe.
