Intense game, lol.

Glad Nashty Nash was back.

Well kobe took 41 shots, about 20 more than he should be taking, and howard should me taking those 20 shots.

But anyways, we won and that's all that matters, hopefully we win against the Knicks, it's going to be magical!

He needs to be able to stay on the floor first of all for that to even remotely be possible of happening.

I was in the area and decided to hit up the game, actually got really good seats. Here were my observations, for what it's worth.

-There were plenty of Laker fans in attendance. And almost every one of them hated Pau in the first half. He was super soft and is godawful on defense, just puts in 0 effort. He played a lot in the high post throughout the game, but in the second half stopped trying to shoot and focused on making good passes, which actually proved to be rather effective.

-There wasn't much PnR run in the first half, either. Even when D12 was in the game. But in the second half it became much more prevalent. Nash/Howard don't have the timing down yet, but the glimpses of successful plays I saw show that it will be pretty goddam scary. Nash was able to find Howard a few times and that means the defense has to help off Kobe Bryant. Howard is a pretty good passer and was able to find open shooters. GSW was decent at closing out actually but there's not much you can do when almost everyone on the floor is a threat.

-The Lakers defense sucks. Almost everyone was super lazy at closing out shots, even D12, which surprised me a lot because his help defense was incredibly disappointing at the beginning of the game. Then with the foul trouble obviously everyone saw what happened, Pau Gasol can't anchor anything. Jodie Meeks was pretty active though, that was nice to see.

-MWP and Jordan Hill were solid off the bench. Don't have much else to say about them.

-Kobe was a beast. Not sure why people are complaining so much about him but he was single covered most of the time and was getting practically whatever he wanted. There were a lot more post ups with him too since he was at the 3 most of the time. He was kind of whining too much about calls he didn't really deserve at the beginning of the game, but honestly many players on both teams were really pissed at Kane Fitzgerald.

-The offense was free flowing tonight and it looked good toward the end. Mike D'Antoni wasn't saying much at all throughout the game, which I found odd considering his personality. Nash is rusty as expected but I like what I saw from him tonight. Pau is definitely expendable but had lots of nice assists. I think if the team steps up their defense they have a shot to win it all, but it's going to be a tough road ahead.

If the people here knew about your fantastic CL reputation they'd laugh as much at this post as I am

Lol again nobody cares bro. This is the [expletive]ing internet. No one even gives a [expletive] about reputation. This ain't [expletive]ing high school. Get the [expletive] over yourself clown.

You're wrong yet again But I'm used to that

"We aren't going to fire Mike Brown"
"Mike Brown is a good coach"
" Mike Brown has a good reason for not playing Nash"
"Nash will cut down our TO's by alot"

Great post bfc1125roy, thank you for sharing.

Refs swallow their whistles when you go to another team's house.

One reason why the NBA could never be my favorite sport. A small part of it is bogus because of what you just said. The game should be called fairly no matter where its played.

Bynum is better than Howard

Oh wait

Kobe is better than Lebron

Oh wait

Lakers will coast to the finals

Oh wait

I think I'll stop there but the wrong statements don't end there

Youre right. Reputation doesn't mean anything on the Internet because you can always change your name in an attempt to hide from your past arguments so people don't attack credibility when you try to debate on a forum.

Whether you want to believe it or not credibility matters in anything. It's why real deal, WC, and others can make an argument, support it, and have believability. They have earned that by being right consistently.

That said, I always love going to Oracle for games like this, first Lakers vs Warriors game I've missed at there. Glad I got to see it at home though despite the annoying announcers.
