lakers win 92-83 :woot:

Wow, I was totally surprised... I thought the Lakes would fold late in the fourth, but it was the Celts that stumbled... :victory:

A nice win, but there's still a long way to go.

boston can carry his @#$ home :hehe:
hahaha

I have no idea how the Warriors beat the Celts, but I'll take the win when it comes, not often. :shocked:

A post-Laker game letdown, I'm sure.

I fully expect the Lakers to lose their next game after their big win over the Celts. :sweat:

What happened to the wheelchair? :rofl:

It's standard NBA procedure to get wheeled off nowadays.

I didn't look at it as the Celtics stumbling since the Lakers had the lead after every quarter and most of the game.

You could tell how much that game meant to LA ..... even Pau showed much emotion, lots of shouting and fist-pumpin in the last minute. :shocked:

Nice win, but Lakers just held home-court. On the flip side, if they had lost .... Lakers Nation would be in full panic mode. :sweat:

Well, the Celts have lost two straight... Celtic Woman, er, Nation, must be a little nervous halfway through their western swing...

Lakers win a shootout with the W's, 130-113.

Celtic Woman ... who's that? :headscratch:

Have you been dreaming of Wonder Woman in a kilt? :hehe:

Celtics lose to the Blazers, 91-86.

That's three losses in their four-game trip.

Lakers beat the Jazz, 113-100. :victory:

^
too bad the Celt's broke their losing streak, it had to end somehow.

but glad the lakers held on, and finally put away the Jazz, Kobe did his thing, his scoring as of late, has been higher i wonder if that is a sign. Gasol has been contributing well this season. I would like to see more from Andrew B.

It might be my imagination, but Bynum seems to have slacked off after signing that big contract... :grumble:

They still have to work on their D... It's disconcertingly inconsistent. :sweat:

i still think they have trouble holding leads for some reason, perhaps then why Kobe has become more intense and agressive in his scoring recently, and it has paid off some. But i do think it is critical for Bynum, Odom, Sasha, and Ariza to maintain their tenacity, and intensity. It must be tough for Fisher log more minutes due to Farmar out, i hope Lakers can get a decent sub to help fill in the minutes for fish and the team. Their defense and toughness will show, if they are lacking, or stepping up and shutting down opponents, the real test is during and thru the playoffs, and how hungrier the Lakers are than the Celtics or any other team that stands as an obstacle to the trophy this year.

The reason is the lack of defensive intensity... And killer instinct.

Knicks beat Boston :woot: That's 4 losses in their last 6 for "Celtic Pride" :mrgreen:

Losing to the Knicks = Boston fans in full panic mode.

Celtics bench has been so bad ... they've been considering signing Marbury in the future. Ouch. :doh:

Nice little slump they're having... Thanks to the Lakes. :mrgreen: :victory:

Upset Sunday: Wizards beat the Cavaliers, 80-77...
