Game three wasn't too bad a showing for the Lakers.....Their D was a step slow but not enough to give the Magic a 75% field goal average in the first quarter......they were shooting the lights out and... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ShosuroHametsu) http://widetoinfinityforums.yuku.com/sreply/25489 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 22:20:27 GMT http://widetoinfinityforums.yuku.com/reply/25488/t/2008-2009-NBA-Season.html#reply-25488
Unfortunately, not as excited about the Game 3 results.
But, considering the Magic shot the lights out of the place, I thought the Lakers did a pretty decent job. But, it all comes down to the win, and they couldn't pull this one off. I just hope the Lakers manage at least one win in this 3 game stint in Orlando. Two would be nice, but I actually would prefer seeing the Lakers win the... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (WideMaster) http://widetoinfinityforums.yuku.com/sreply/25488 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 17:15:32 GMT http://widetoinfinityforums.yuku.com/reply/25487/t/2008-2009-NBA-Season.html#reply-25487
This was a CLOSE one......a slight change in a few places would've changed the outcome. I'm just happy that the Lakers prevailed and are going into Orlando with a two game series lead.....

I'm not surprised at all though.......The Magic didn't get past Boston and Cleveland by playing second rate ball.

PJ should have some "interesting"... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ShosuroHametsu) http://widetoinfinityforums.yuku.com/sreply/25487 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 15:11:53 GMT http://widetoinfinityforums.yuku.com/reply/25486/t/2008-2009-NBA-Season.html#reply-25486

and the game wasn't THAT close.........

Kobe was just plain amazing.......He scored 40 ( tied for second highest in a Finals game) plus 8 each of Assists and Boards. He even had 2 steals and 2 blocks......Can you say "statement"? ... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ShosuroHametsu) http://widetoinfinityforums.yuku.com/sreply/25486 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 07:33:05 GMT http://widetoinfinityforums.yuku.com/reply/25485/t/2008-2009-NBA-Season.html#reply-25485
The Lakers in six.......

That final game against Denver made me almost believe in them again!
If they play that well and that focused, they might just have a good chance of winning this whole thing.

Houston's riding on a lot of momentum right now, and the Lakers probably figured they wouldn't be much competition. Wrong.

Chalk this one up to a sick Kobe, but still, the other Lakers should've stepped up to the bat, but they didn't. I expect them to come back locked and loaded for Game 2.

Lakers bested Utah Jazz 5-1 and now will play Houston for Round 2 of the playoffs.

Seems like they should've scheduled Game 1 for Sunday, if you ask me. This gives Houston 3 full days to rest. That ain't fair!!!

Lakers finish regular season with 3rd-best record in franchise history with 65 wins 17 losses, finishing behind Cleveland for 1st place.

Lakers face the Utah Jazz in round one...

Game One:
Lakers 113
Jazz 100

The Staples crowd very unhappy about losing their free tacos.

I've been hearing these nasty rumors about Shaq possibly coming back to the Lakers, since they got rid of Vlade and Chris Mihm. But thank God, the deadline passed without them bringing his dead weight back to LA! I mean, he put on a good show at the All Star break, but we all know that won't last long.

Like I said, whew!

Ugh! I can't believe I wrote that!

But honestly, from his 'Jabberwockin' entrance, to his performance on the court - including assists from Kobe! - he was a lot of fun to watch. And the icing on the cake was seeing Shaq and Kobe as co-MVP winners. You KNOW that David Stern pulled some strings to make THAT happen!

I read in the paper today that they resigned Mbenga to a one year contract.
That's good. He's not anything great, but he's a big guy that we can use off the bench.

Also mentioned was that Walton wasn't released to start practicing yet. Still on the mend, I... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (WideMaster) http://widetoinfinityforums.yuku.com/topic/3116 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 17:32:09 GMT
