LeBron had like 3 amazing dunks in a 2 minute span...one was a two hand slam that was absolutely nasty, another was Greg Oden style (pulled himself up) and one where he got so high off the ground it was ridiculous.

He never ceases to amaze me.

The technicals called against the Warriors were so lame. They basically proved to be the deciding factor as well.

JagHombre22 · 03-22-2008, 09:19 AM

I'm so proud of the Lakers...7 guys in double figures...they remain the top team and they should get Gasol back here in the next couple of days...

YAYareaRB · 03-22-2008, 11:34 AM

We're still maintaining the #1 spot without Gasol. When Bynum comes back and Gasol is there. Oh Man..

JagHombre22 · 03-22-2008, 12:11 PM

I really don't think Bynum is going to make that much of an impact until maybe the later rounds of the playoffs...

when he comes back he will likely have to come off the bench and be eased into the rotation...and it will take a series for him and Gasol to get used to each other...

It's been said he's gonna be back before playoffs

JagHombre22 · 03-22-2008, 12:23 PM

yea, I know...but I don't really think he'll get significant playing time until the second round of the playoffs...if we get there...

Cannot wait for Sunday and Monday. Lakers back to back ;)

You a Warriors fan?

d34ng3l021 · 03-22-2008, 03:36 PM

Yep. I hope we win at least 1.

Should be a interesting two games

TPFKA#1SaintsFan · 03-22-2008, 09:35 PM

What a win for the Hornets tonight

fenikz · 03-22-2008, 10:39 PM

Suns are up 15 on the Rockets with 6:30 left in the 3rd

Stat is just destroying them, they have nobody that can cover him, Mutombo is too slow and Scola, Battie & Landry are all way to small

fenikz · 03-22-2008, 11:46 PM

Phoenix is now the 3 seed and only a game behind the Lakers with a eastern road trip coming up, Det, Bos, Phi, & NJ

Bad things:

We still don't give enough effort on the glass
Biedrins isn't ballin like he should be
Relying too much on 3's

He's averaging nearly 10-and-10 on 26 minutes. What do you expect him to do?

PF : Harrington
C: Biedrins

I think it'll slowly shift to look like this for the playoffs. Starting Pietrus was not the right move, even though he's playing well.

Even though I'm just an observer, I have to agree.

If he was getting 10 more minutes, he could be averaging 15 and 12. That's more valuable then just one more guy who can cover wing players and shoot the trey.

Tough first two games

JagHombre22 · 03-23-2008, 01:28 PM

the Lakers have a very easy schedule coming up...the only games I worry about are the Warriors (at Golden State) and Dallas...I seriously think the Lake show can go 10-3 the last 13 games...

ya that is really easy, the 5 in bold could go either way and then you just have to beat teams you should

Phoenix's schedule isn't so easy

@ Det
@ Bos
@ Phi
@ NJ

So those are 9 hard fought games and then 4 that should be won

JagHombre22 · 03-23-2008, 03:31 PM

yea, I want either the 1 or 2 seed going into the playoffs...but I'd rather Bynum get some good work in against a better center than a 7 or 8 seed...

d34ng3l021 · 03-23-2008, 05:37 PM

What do you have against Hockey?

d34ng3l021 · 03-23-2008, 06:01 PM

Hockey is pretty hard...

I'm pretty much going to neg rep you for the rest of eternity. Just thought I'd let you know.

I went to the Jazz-Sonics game with my little bro(11)
he asked me: "Where are the NBA Championship banners? All I see are Western Conference Championships."
I then replied: "On Jordan's fingers."

JagHombre22 · 03-23-2008, 09:40 PM

why can the lakers never seem to play the right kindof defense when they play the Warriors...I mean 72 points in the first half? That's ********...it's like the Lake Show didn't even show up...
