What a pathetic display. :grumble:
a pathetic win, better than a great loss, which the Lakers avoided..haha
and experts at dwindling big huge leads, only to have Kobe bail them out and barely win, and they have 61 wins to show for it. What counts if they can march back into the Finals and grab the trophy, this has left to be seen, i still think the Celtics are hungrier and the better team as much as i hate the Celtics, i just think they somehow are better. Let's hope the Lakers are even more angier and hungrier to win in. Oh yeah the Cav's would like to stir things up too, with Orlando not far behind. I think the Nuggets might surprise some ppl in the playoffs, they look much improved.

Boston being "too old" is a bit overblown. It really has only been KG that has shown some wear-n-tear. Pierce and Allen have both played well and stayed healthy. Ray, in particular, has shown a revival this season (afterall, he's a Jesus!!) :bow:
The Magic has to be one of the most dangerous teams in the East, as the Cavs found out first hand with a 29-point drubbing in Orlando...
Magic will be a tough out for sure, but it's still hard to see them getting past a healthy Celtics or Cavs, come playoff time.

Another not so good game from Derek Fisher, 1-4 shooting, I love D-Fish, but I wonder if it's time to start giving Jordan Farmar more playing time. [/list:u]

D-Fish is a very streaky shooter: He scored 15 in the previous game vs. the Rockets... :headscratch:
Ehh? You don't understand what I was saying or just disagree? :headscratch:
If Garnett is gonna be out with an injury or be 70% or so .... Celtics can't be worrying about how they match-up against any West team (i.e. Lakers) that they potentially might meet in Finals .... cause the Cavs, Magic, Hawks, and even Heat all likely will eliminate them before then ... ne?

Yup. I still think the biggest threat to the Lakers in the West is New Orleans. They match up well against the Lakers and Byron Scott is an excellent coach. [/list:u] Edit: UNC 29 Mich St. 11 with 11 minutes to go in the first half. Doesn't look good for the Spartans. [/list:u]

I totally forgot about the game.... And I guess so did Michigan State. :sweat:
D-fish had another off-game in scoring with 3pts, his shooting has been very erratic, and with the playoffs coming, i hope that he is up to it, and plays more consistantly, and that his backup(Farmar), is up for the challenge.
still, the Lakers pulled out the win, and took over like they should have against the Kings in Sac, and won #62, let's see if they can take over the #1 spot over the Cav's with 4 games left.
^ Lakers have a tough game against the Nuggets on Thursday and have to play the Blazers the following day at Portland, where they haven't won in ages.... :sweat:
