My brain actually tells me Spurs will sweep the Kobe-less Lake Show. Lakers will still find a way to squeak out at least 1.

The Lakers without Kobe are not impressive. Watching the Spurs, they're not even playing all out. They look like they still have another gear. Mike D'Antoni is not going to be able to get the job done.

To their credit, the Lakers played pretty good D. But I agree with you on the Spurs - they look like they can still kick it up a notch. That said, Pau Gasol has been playing very well of late, and the Lakers just might be able to steal a game or two.

Spurs not impressed with Kobe's tweets

hehehehehe...

 

[VF21]

The Lakers suffered a 120-89 rout in Staples to leave them one game away from being swept out of the playoffs in the first round. Granted, injuries have really taken their toil on the Lakers, but very few NBA fans thought they'd make it to the WCF at any rate. Game 4 on Sunday could be the end of the season for the Lakers. Series 3-0 Spurs.

Worst fan give away ever! Lakers are giving every fan a white towel to wave, What a symbolic choice: do I wave the white flag or throw in the towel?

Yeah, I'm sure whoever approved that is going to be in the unemployment line first thing in the morning.

 

[HndsmCelt]

This is sadly funny watching Lacker fans waving white flags as the Spurs beat up on their team.

this is what happens when the refs help you into the playoffs and you dont deserve to be there

Let's be fair. The team on the court at Staples tonight is NOT the same Laker team. No Kobe Bryant, no Steve Blake, no Steve Nash. That's a huge hit for any team to take, made worse when their entire playbook is filled with "get the ball to Kobe."

 

[HereWeBoogie]

definitely not the same team. but Kobe wouldnt have made much of a difference in this series. probably still a sweep

Best play the Lakers made this post-season was sending Kobe, on crutches, to the bench after an embarrassing D12 was booted.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

T-Mac!

I'm halfway rooting for San Antonio to blow this lead, now.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Jeff Probst is going to give Pau Gassol an immunity necklace.

 

[VF21]

In the words of Dandy Don Meredith, "turn out the lights, the party's over..."

Special award to Dwight Howard for finding a way to leave early.

Pau Gasol showing a lot of class in congratulating the Spurs and talking to Duncan.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

So... McGrady finally gets to the second round...

World's still turning here, how 'bout over yonder?

spinning.. lol. On the bright side we may very well have just seen the last of T Mac in this series.

Why would that be the bright side? I mean, I'm enjoying a laugh at McGrady's expense, but I hope he still has something in the tank. As a matter of fact, I hope he still has a forty-point game left in him, and I hope it comes in Game 5 against the Heat.









Unless, of course, Celt meant "this series" literally, in which case... whoosh?

Well to begin with I hope the Heat somehow don't even make it to the finals, but hell yeah that'd be great! I was similarly laughing at T-Mac for his playoff woes. As for Dwight and his T's ... guess Cousins isn't the only one with "mental issues" eh? I'm glad that this series exposed Dwight for the overpaid diva that he is. He is not a franchise cornerstone.

Spurs in a sweep.

andjel, Capt. Factorial, Darth Divac and Double-K saw it coming.
